Kenosha county put on its best bib
and tucker today and with the County
Board in the van started in to pay a
twenty year old social obligation to

to Racine and Toasted on turkey and
oil the delicacies Of the season and
has accepted a brand Of hospitality
which has made Racine county noted
as an entertainer. Today the Kenosha
County Board tried to pay off just a
wee hit Of that twenty year old obhga-
tion and in doing it entertained royalty

time and it is still rapidly growing.
After delightful program during

SHOP EARLY AND SAVE TEMPER.
Make Christmas a Merry Time for the
Clerks In the Stores as Well as
for Your Own Family.

The "shop early movement which
has gained such Importance the country
over and has been fostered by the Con-
sumner 8 League of many states, is to be
promoted vigorously in Kenosha this
year.
The merchants of the town plan to
have their full display of stock in the
windows and on counters by December
2, which is set as the formal opening
for the Christmas shopping campaign.
In order to give as much impetus as
possible to the movement, the Retail
er's Association offers prize to the
best window display December 2. The
merchants plan 10 do everything pos
sible to make shopping easy and att
tractive for the early buyers.
Women who value their peace of
mind and their good temper should not
neglect to get their shopping done
when it may be accomplished with the
smallest inconveienee and annoyance
and this is as early as possible.
If Kenosha will follow the example
of Chicago and Milwaukee and start
out with it's Christmas lists immediate
ly, gathering up those gifts which may
be carefully selected now and which
later on are bought in hurry when
stocks are picked over and confusion
is rampant, it is quite safe to say that
not only will they be happier, more
peaceful and calm themselves, but the
recipients of the gifts will be able to
distinguish the greater care and
thought bestowed upon them.
Moreover, they will be doing hui
name thing for the workers who spend
long hours in the store, and for whom
the last days before Christmas have in
the past been Nightmares of discom-
fort. In the old days before the "shop
earl'' movement had made itself felt
from one end of the country to the
other, the Christmas time had nothing
of merriment for clerks nor for the
delivery boys who froze their finger
tips and worked over hours getting
packages out.
Will it. not be source of comfort to
the kindly shopper who gets to the
stores early and makes all her pur-
chases to feel that by her considera-
ton she has made a merrier and
happier Christmas for some worker in
the storesg

EXHIBIT THEIR WORK.
Freshman Manual Training Glass Has
Completed Set Of Cabinets for
School Buildings.

Every public school building in the
city is to have medicine cabinet at the
expressed desire of Miss Kinney, pub
lie school visiting nurse. A week or
two ago she explained to Ell. w. Kern,
director of the manual training Of the
city schools, what she wanted. Yester-
day the first year class in manual train
ing, under the direction of HI. H. Kop-
pin, their teacher, had completed the
order. Today the cabinet was placed on
exhibition in the window of J. A. Cros-
sin IS store on Main street, in order that
all interested in the work of the schools
might have an opportunity to view this
sample Of it.
The handsome cabinet, made in work.
manlike manner, with q mirrored door
and prettily finished wood, was con-
structed by the boys at total cost of
$3.50, although it is safe to assert
that it could not be duplicated under
So or 81. They are made strongly and
in such manner that they will stand
hard usage without succumbing.
The practical work is the kind the
boys like and it is of lasting Importance
to them in many ways.

result of the election satisfactory Mr..
Hughes, the presidential candidate who
took the most advanced stand on woman
suffrage, that is, in favor of the fed
eral amendment, carried the state by a
plurality of $4,000.
"Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette,
known as staunch advocate of woman
suffrage during his long political ca
reer, received plurality of $4,000,
the greatest given any candidate. The
three Wisconsin congressman, Mr.. Nell
son of the Third district, Mr.. Frear
of the Tenth and Mr.. Lenroot of the
Eleventh, on record as active and earn
ess suffragists, were reelected by
greatly increased maiorities. Mr.. Cooper
Of the First district, who declared
strongly in favor of Mr.. Hughes posi-
ton on the federal amendment, was re-
elected by plurality of 10000. Two
years ago his plurality was less than
1000. Three other congressman in this
state, who were opposed to woman suf-
frage, were defeated.

man who favors justice for Wisconsin
women is bound to be politically slain

With the present cold snaps coming

be a good thing to have the Humane

many horses overloaded, driven hard on
gravel or muddy streets, have seen a
teamster beating an overloaded team
on the new school house grounds, and
see much too high checking also.
How many horses are not well fed or
watered, and how many ill-kept barns
mean their place of rest, and how many
have warm, well bedded barns or stalls
How many have i'll fitting col

REEFS rs INVITED TO SHOW.
City Clerk Harrington Tells Denver
Man That Kenosha Is Interested in
Free Garbage Collection.

City Clerk George w. Harrington has
sent a letter to Il. B. Rees, the Denver
man who proposed to install system of
free collection of garbage in Kenosha,
inviting him to come right along and
tell the aldermen all about it. This
plan met with the sanction of the coun-
Gil at the meeting on Monday night
and it is expected that Rees will explain
his plan in letter or in person to the
members of the council at the next
meeting. The members of the council
were unwilling to buy cat in a bag
but they intimated that if Rees had
anything like a practical proposition
to offer that he could close up the deal
an short order. Up in Racine where
the same offer has been made some of
the tax payers are protesting against
trying it on insisting that if Rees can
make money by collecting garbage in
Racine that the city of Racine could
make and save money by collecting the
garbage. This idea does not seem to
meet with the general opinion of the
Racine officials and they are anxious
to give Rees a chance.

secure Miss Jeanette Rankin, the

them when the annual state convention
