The story likewise is unusually IN

Much older than the Bible or sa-

biblical authority fop the claim that
music is of divine origin, and that
II was a medium of joyful utterance
by the sons of God in the beginning.
So 1t would seem that music, as
Gods idea, existed before our world
began. God himself declared to Job
on this occasion that when the earth
was formed the morning stars sang
together and all the sons of God
shouted for Joy. This was perhaps
the first time the idea of music In
simultaneous song was given to man.

Buying power cuts the expense account
and it is the expense account that eats
up the profits. The shortest cut from
the producer to the consumer is the
real way to cut the cost of living and
with cutting it raise the profit Of the
man who makes living possible. In
these days when great things are done
by cooperation, is there any reason to
believe that in city like Kenosha men
could not agree to get together under
an association like the Retailers As

answer of the question, "How to Cut

OFFER FASCINATING ARTICLES.
Congregational Church Will Hold
Annual Christmas Bazaar in
Church Parlors Thursday.

The board of directors of the Wom-
an s Aid Society of the Congregational
Church, met last night in the home of
Mrs. f. E. Andre on Park avenue to
mark the prices of the articles to be
placed on sale at the annual bazaar to
be given in the parlors of the church
Thursday afternoon and evening.
Never said one of the directors
this morning, 'Fhas there been so in
teresting a collection of articles for
the Christmas sale as this year. The
variety offered is exceptionally large,
the new ideas in desirable things for
Christmas gifts far exceed those of
other years, and altogether we believe
that this will be the most successful
bazaar the church has had, viewed
from the buyer IS standpoint. We grew
most enthusiastic over the dainty and
fascinating articles which were dis,
closed as we united bundle after
bundle.'
A cafetheria luncheon is to be served
in connection with the bazaar and be-
side the distinctively Christmas ar
ticles for sale there are to be home
made candy and home-pade cakes and
other viands. The fancy work will
however, be the main, attraction to
those who are counting on getting
Christmas gifts there.

Charles Litchfield Who Killed Two Men
on Belvidere Crossing, Feels
Luck is Dead Against Him,

IF there is a man who feels his hard
luck worse than anyone else, he is
Charles Litchfeld of North Chicago,
veteran motorman on the Chicago,
North Shore and Milwaukee railroad,
whose train killed the two Richmond
men at the Belvidere crossing. EN-
ployes say there is no more careful
motorman than he, but in his time has
killed twelve persons.
Mr.. Litchfeld is one of the oldest
men in the employ of the company and
in every case he has been exonerated
from all blame. A dairyman, who saw
the accident Monday claims the two
men in the automobile were driving
slow but that they made no effort to
look for the train. The dairymen be-
1ieves that the two men did not know
they were near a railroad crossing.
In the present instance, Mr.. Litch-
field sounded the whistle and gave
other warning to the oncoming auto
lists, it is said, but the latter evil
IDENTIFY did not hear him.
Men of the coroner s jury heard his
testimony with an evident show of
great interest and his version seemed
to impress them deeply. The life of a
motorman on the electric has its draw
backs. Mr.. Litchfeld AYERS and
claims that it is hard on the nerviest
man, and exceedingly disturbing to
man Of sympathetic nature.

REFLECT MR.. WHITTET?
Tt Looks as if Popular Legislative
Speaker May be Again Chosen
to Fill the Office.

Speaker Lawrence G. Whittet is first
in, the field as a candidate for speaker
of the lower house of the legislature.
Mr.. Whittet has written letters to the
Republican members Of the assembly
formally announcing his candidacy for
reelection. During the last session he
never failed to call the house to order
at the appointed hour and never missed
a roll call, and because of this unusual
record it would not be surprising if
the Progressives join the conserva-
tives in re-electing him.
It is considered certain that the Pro
gressives will participate in the Re
publican caucus relative to the organi-
cation of the assembly. 1t is under
stood the LaFollette men may present
a caucus candidate for speaker, but
there is reason to believe that they
will support Mr.. Whittet on the formal
vote in the assembly @. D. Rosa, Be
lott, has been mentioned as the LaFol-
lette candidate for speaker, but there
appears to be disposition to get to-
gether on Mr.. Whittet if the Progress
sives are assured of fair treatment in
committee appointments. Some of Mr..
Rosa Is, friends would like to see
him made chairman of the judiciary
committee.
The administration is in a position to
control the organization in the senate
and the assembly, and what ever ne
gotiations are carried out within Re
publican circles will be with respect to
committee appointments. Two years
ago Speaker Whittet conferred with
party leaders and leading members of
the house before he announced his
committees.

STANDS ON The Lid
Continued from Page J.


be almost unanimous against granting
any further licenses. They claim that
the place IN question has been given a
black. eye on account of the fact that
it was mismanaged in the past and
that on account of catering to a certain
trade it became a hang out for men and
women, too, who do not do the business
any good in Kenosha. The saloon men
declare that even under the most care
ful management these same people are
going to drift into this place in the
future.
The fact that no arrests are being
made IN connection with the new order
OF the chief of police has caused some
apprehension among saloon men. They
seem to believe that this means that
instead of forcing violators of the regu-
latlons into court that it is the plan to
have them go before the council and
show cause why licenses should not be
revoked. It is understood that the IL
cense committee is willing to act and
act promptly on every bit Of evidence
secured by the police and that there is
going to be demands for revocations
where ever it is shown that the saloon
men have not lived up to the very let
ter of the regulations and to the state
laws. Sales to minors and intoxicated
persons are being watched with vigor
and evidences Of such sales will I'M
doubtedly result. in an immediate de-
mand for revocations.
