serious aspect in certain localities.
Should it do so, the infected districts
should carefully consider the advis-
ability of opening the schools in their
respective localities and provide for
the daily health supervision of the
pupils, so that conditions are rendered
safe.
1t is authoritatively shown that the
adult population undoubtedly furnish
very important means Of transmit
ting the disease, the adults not being
afflicted with it, but acting as car
riers. Physicians and sanitary Of
fcials, therefore, are strenuously re-
quested to take the utmost precautions
against transmitting poliomyelitis.
Suitable garments to protect their
clothing from the infection of the home
should be worn by physicians, nurses,
and sanitary officials upon each visit
to the home.
This is the season Of county fairs
throughout Wisconsin, and the sani-
tary side Of the administration of these
fairs should receive more specific at
tention than ever. Special care should
be given to the proper construction
and cleanliness of toilets, looking to
the banishing of fy-breeding agencies,
protection of eating houses and food
from flies and dust, and adherence to
every sanitary, hygienic regulation.
The proper feeding Of children is an
important factor in rendering them
less susceptible to this disease. Plain,
wholesome food in moderate quantities
should be taken. The greatest care
should be exercised in avoiding the So
called nick-nacks' in the feeding Of
children, to as to eliminate, so far as
possible, digestive disturbances. A
slight attack of indigestion in a per-
son who may have been exposed to
this disease lowers the resistance of
the individual and thereby renders
him more susceptible to an acute in
vasion of the infection.

DON'T GO SMOKING IN ZION.
Three Men Sent to Jail for Six
Months This Morning Because
They Stuck to the Pipe.

Kenosha men should refrain from
smoking in Zion City unless they have
permit from their wives for an ex-
tended vacation. Three men convicted
on charges of smoking briar pipes on
the streets Of Zion City were this
morning taken down to Waukegan to
begin serving terms of six months
each in the Lake county Jail. The
men, John Fl. Cotter, Joseph Hampson
and Monroe Matthews, were all ar
rested last May and when their cases
were tried before Police Magistrate
Taylor in Waukegan they were con-
victed on the charge Of smoking on
the Zion streets. Fines of ten dollars
and costs were assessed in each case.
The men We're released on promise to
pay and when they failed to pay the
magistrate ordered them committed to
Jail. The Lake county officials went to
Zion City this morning and got the men
and jailed them. 1t is expected that
all of them viii pay after a short time
in Jail.

Total

The number of car hours, that is, cars
in service for one hour, has actually
been increased as compared with 1912.
While only so per cent as many passen-
gers were carried during the year ended
June 80, 1916 as Compared with 1912,
the number Of car miles run has de-
creased only Is per cent. Under these
conditions the decrease in operating ex-
penses has been secured only through
the most rigid economies.
The city of Kenosha should, with the
usual patronage accorded street rail
ways in other cities, be able to support
tie most up to date traction service.
A properly maintained transportation
system is essential to any growing com
munity. It is very obvious, however.
that the results in Kenosha are such
that unless immediate relief of a defn-
tie and permanent character is obtained
and more liberal patronage is secured
from the public, that the company must
make retfenchments, which can only be
made through a reduction in the amount
of service rendered and curtailment
of the expenditures for new invest
ment. -

NO MACHINE VOTE THIS YEAR
County Clerk Does Not Like Idea OF
Voting for Primary Candidates With
Machines and Old Time Paper Bal
lots viii Be Used over County.

Voting at the coming primary cleo
ton will be by ballot and half ton
of print paper will be used to provide
the ballots to be used. There will be
| four separate tickets for the ballot and
the voters will have chance to select
one of these ballots. There is no OBJ
| position to any of the candidates on
the Socialist or the Prohibition ticket
but there is opposition to candidates
on both the Republican and Democra-
| tic tickets. While it is not expected
that there will be more than five thous-
and votes cast at the primary in the
county the clerk will provide the full
number of ballots named in the statute
and this will mean more than thirteen
thousand official and thousand sam
| pie primary ballots. In addition to
this fourteen thousand ballots it is ex-
pected that thousands of the samples
will be ordered by the candidates who
are anxious that their friends be adj
vised as to just how they may vote.
A recent statute enacted by the leg
islature gives cities the right to use
voting machines at the primary cleo
tion but there will be an effort to hold
the primary under this section in Ke-
nosha county. If the vote is as heavy
as was cast at the last city election
should be cast at the primary this year
the candidates for nominations are 90
ing to be on the anxious seat for a
long time as it will be impossible to
count the ballots the same night the
primary is held. 1t is probable that
so far as the choice of members of the
party committees are concerned that it
will take the official canvas of the pri-
mary to show who has been selected.
The usual stories of combinations of
candidates on both the Republican and
Democratic tickets are going the
rounds, but these stories are given lit
tie credence and the primary has the
appearance of a merry go-as-you-please
race with the injunction that his
satanic majesty may take the hindmost
The official primary ballots for both
the state and the county have been
published and the people will have
plenty of time to find out what ticket
the various people are running on.
The old charge that Democrats would
control the Republican primaries or
that Republicans would pick Democra-
tic candidates will not apply to the
primaries this year as the battles be-
III
pretty certain to keep the voters busy
marking their own party tickets. 1t
is declared that there is opposition
candidates in many of the counties Of
the state and this fact has been some
thing of disappointment to some of
the candidates who have been accus-
toned to manipulate the primary.

BLAMEs JITNEY COMPETITION
$29, 800 Year Is the Amount Given as
Loss of Company In the Operation Of
Lines Here-Gives Report for Past
Five Years to Prove Figures.

The Street Railway Company of Ke-
nosha has announced that its losses are
over $29,500 a year since the advent
of jitney competition According to
the latest report as filed with the Wis
consin Railroad Commission the railway
property is, under present conditions,
not earning operating expenses.
G. III. Cook, Kenosha manager of the
Wisconsin Gas and Electric Company,
stated today:
During 1912, under conditions of
operation which were not considered
particularly favorable at that time, the
Kenosha railway portion of our bust
ness earned $27,051 over operating ex-
penses to care for return on an &C.
tual investment of $638,809 in railway
property. During the last fiscal year
ended June 80, 1916, according to the
report just filed with the Railroad Com
mission of Wisconsin, the railway fell
short OF meeting operating expenses by
$2,475, to say nothing of interest on the
investment. We have, in the interven-
ing period, increased our investment to
$6S9,845. The loss directly attribute
bic to the condition of competition was
at least $29,526 for the year. The sum
mary of operating results for each year
is given below:

MET UNUSUAL INJURIES.
Two Zion City Men Featured in Wierd
Injuries Oh Thursday Afternoon
Near That City.

The two wierdest accidents of a
month are reported from Zion City to-
day. I. E. Mills, well known Zion man
was riding to his home from Chicago
on North Western train. He sat near
a window of the car and his arm was
sticking over the window sill when a
train on the parallel track with a
freight door open came along. The
open freight door hit Mill IS arm
breaking it at the elbow. Ray Schu-
macher, another Zion man, has piece
of glass in his wind pipe today as the
result of the explosion of a carbide
lamp on an automobile. He was feed
ing the lamp too much water and it
exploded, piece of glass cutting into
his neck and entering the windpipe
He will recover.

FAVORABLE REPORT IS MADE
Plans for Adjournment and Agreement
Of the Members Of the Lower House
Make Impossible Present Consider
ation-Maybe Pass at Next Session.

Kenosha must wait another year at
least for an addition to the postofice
building. The demands of Podunk
and Squedunk, south of the Mason and
Dixon line and the repair of congress
sional fences in the south has been
so necessary that the Kenosha people
must wait. This fact is shown in a
telegram received from Congressman
Cooper in response to kilograms urging
him to get early action on the bill pro-
viding an appropriation of seventy-fve
thousand dollars for the Kenosha post
office addition. In his telegram Con-
gresham Cooper says:
"My bill for the addition to the
Kenosha postoffice was incorporated in
the general appropriations bill and re-
ported favorably by the committee of
the house. The condition of the calen-
dar and house agreements prevent con-
sideration of this bill before the ad-
journment of the present session of
Congress, but have no doubt but that
the passage Of bill at the next SEES
sion will make provision for Kenosha. =
Congressman Cooper has been in
sistent that the Kenosha bill be given
consideration. He managed to get it
to the committee on buildings and to
get favorable report on it and then
the lid was clamped down on further
action on it by an agreement Of the
members of the lower House of Con-
gress not to consider any other bills
for public buildings
EFWell / suppose we will have to
struggle along for another year, was
the comment of Postmaster German
when shown copy of the telegram
from Congressman Cooper. "I do not
think that there is another office in
the country earning so much for the
government that isfso cramped for
room, continued the postmaster, "and
was hopeful that Congress would
give us an appropriation.
There is still the possibility that
funds could be secured for the general
postofice appropriation bill to provide
for added facilities for the Kenosha
Office 1t is very doubtful that an
appropriation could be secured in this
manner. The department has Just
about funds enough to meet demands
for service and service" has not in
the past been held to include the ad-
dition to existing business.
congressman Cooper in explaining
the failure of Congress to act on the
henosha bill, declares that the pres
ent season has brought so many extra
ordinary matters to deal with that
many of the bills of a purely sectional
nature nave been forced over to the
next session of Congress. 1t is prob
able that in this matter Kenosha has
not Jared any worse than lot of other
cities who may believe that their claim
for consideration was just as strong.

WOULD RETAIN KENosHA PLAN.
Local Insurance Agents Would Have
Policies Stamped in Kenosha
Instead of Milwaukee.

Kenosha insurance agents are TAX
ing a considerable interest in a new
order which has been promulgated in
the state and which provides that all
policies written in Wisconsin cities be
sent to Milwaukee to be stamped =
The stamping is a guarantee that the
policies have been examined by a
proper official and found correct. For
many years the Kenosha insurance
men have employed their own stamp
ing clerk and many of them are anxi-
GUS to continue this plan. The change
has been ordered with view of pre-
venting determinations in prices
charged for insurance and it is to ar
ply to the entire state. The local
agents have united to ask the COM
panies that they be permitted to main
tain local stamping Office at least
until the end of the fiscal year. There
is little reason to believe that the re-
quest will be granted. Local agents
declare that the question:. of possible
discrimination has not been raised in
connection with the business in this
city and that for this reason the pres
ent convenient plan should be contin-
ued. 1t is claimed that the necessity
of sending policies to Milwaukee will
cause some delay in making deliveries
of the policies. Racine insurance men
have voted to comply with the new or
der and all policies written in that city
are now being sent to Milwaukee for
stamping.

GOVERNOR ISSUES LABOR
DAY PROCLAMATION.

: The people of the United
States, more than any other
country in the world, have come
: to recognize the consideration
; due to labor. In this country
as in no other, the man or
: woman who tolls is respected
; above all others. Whether he
or she may be one of those mas
ter minds which plan and direct
the work of this nation, or one
of those who carry out those
plans, the worker has the re
spect and good will Of all think
ing people. In this country the
: worker, no matter how humble
may be his origin, may rise to
the highest place in the land.
By his industry he is known
; rather than by his caste or class,
and for this reason this nation
has prospered and grown great.
1t has become the custom to
set aside one day in each year
in honor of labor, when all work
shall cease, and those who toll
may spend this brief period in
rest and recreation, well earned
by the application of each to
his allotted task during the year
just closed. 1t is day when
we should thoughtfully consider
the advantages of the govern
ment under which we live, and
counsel one with another, upon
those things which we can do to
make that government better.
Wisconsin always has recog-
nized this day, and her people
have responded to its obliga-
: tions and have recognized its
Importance as a state as we'll
as a national holiday. There
fore, as Governor of the State
of Wisconsin, I, Emanuel L.
Philip, do hereby designate
Monday, the fourth day of Sep
TENDER, 1916, as Labor Day,
; and I recommend that on that
day all work be suspended as
far as possible, and that our
citizens join with those who
celebrate, to the end that the
significance of the day may be
brought home to our people, and
that labor be accorded its just
place in the thoughts of the
; citizens of Wisconsin.
Emanuel L. Philip,
Governor.

fact that Kenoshe has grown consider
ably since that date. Under similar
conditions any other business free to

it will be noted that the service rend-
