PLAN STATE WIDE CAMPAIGN.
Boys and Girl sin Many Cities of Wis
consin to Unite in the "Swat
the Fly Campaign.

Wisconsin communities are embark
ing on the greatest concerted fight on
the typhoid fly in the states history.
This is evident from reports coming
to the state board of health. Never
before has such great activity against
fy-borne disease been started so early
IL so many places in this state. Many
cities are already enlisted in fly fighting
campaigns. Organized propaganda is
giving the battle impetus. Fly swat
ting alone will not exterminate flies
the state health department warns. Of
first Importance is a general cleaning
up of the premises and the removal of
all breeding places, Among these are
manure piles, exposed cesspools and out
houses, open garbage cans, exposed
refuse and filth of all kinds. This
means that flies can best be extermin-
ated by starving them out.

mules along the roads going out. Villa

LOCAL SALES SHORT or 1914
Gifts to Willowbrook Sanitorium Are
Declared to Have Been One Cause for
Reduced Sales-The Campaign Nets
Nearly $4,000 for State Work.

The city of Kenosha has lost It's
roud distinction of leading the cities
.,f her class in the state in contributing
to the fund for the battle against the
white plague" as the final report of
the Wisconsin committee in charge OF
the fight against tuberculosis, on the
sale of red cross seals in the campaign
If 1915. shows that Kenosha ranks
curtin among the cities of the state.
he power Of the penny appealed more
greatly to the people in Milwaukee,
Oshkosh and Racine than it did to the
jeople of Kenosha and these three
titles show larger sale of seals than
tenosha. in per capita sale KenOsha
still first among the cities Of the
tate with population of over twenty
1ousand but under one hundred thous-
md In former years Kenosha had not
,rly been first in per capita sale, but
also first in the amount of dollars and
cnts realized from the sale Of the
seals The total amount taken in in
enosha in 1915 in the sales of seals
was $692.51. This was nearly three
hundred dollars less than was realized
from the campaign of 1914.
Kenosha people who are interested
H. the sale Of the seals declare that
there was some falling off in the re-
ceipts here on account Of the fact that
some Of the people of Kenosha pre-
ferred to make gifts to the new Will
4c- oif fo
when made will bring the total con-
tributed to the fight against tubercu-
losis in Kenosha county up to sum
considerably larger than was contri-
butcd in the former year.
Of course Milwaukee leads the state
and the sale in that city reached the
high mark of 1,4S7.59. In Oshkosh
the pennies totaled $755.18 and in Ra-
cine the seal sale amounted to $725,13.
The total sale for the state was
So, 38939 and it is expected that re-
ports from some outstanding cities
viii bring the total amount up to
pretty close to $4,000.
The little village Of Ellsworth again
has the highest per capita sale of seals
this being 1916 for each man, woman
and child in the village. Burlington
is second with 81.
Among the most gratifying features
or the campaign was the work done
by the rural schools and the labor
unions. In addition to giving official
endorsement to the seal sale, the labor
unions purchased $513.68 worth of
seals, $1,000 of this amount coming
from Milwaukee and $314O4 from the
state. Talks were given before the
Milwaukee unions and several others
and large quantities of literature
distributed.
Much of the credit for the large
fetal sale goes to the small communi-
ties and there was marked increase
in the rural school sale. remnants
were awarded for sales of $500 or
more in any rural school, and $50 of
these pennants have been sent to their
winners
The sales reported from the principal
cities of the state are as follows:

DANCE WAS FINE

The Carnival dance last night was "some" time. One of the biggest crowds on record attended and the colOring was something extraOrdin- ary. The music was unusually good as a violin and cornet were added to Mrs. McNeer's fine playing. John ny Kacerosky and a gentleman with an unspellable name provided some vaudeville stunts that gave variety and amusement. Johnny appeared as Charley Chaplin, even to the torn pants. The dancers made little effort to disguise themselves effectively but the warm weather made masks un- comfortable. The dresses were varied and very pretty and there were so many of them that none could be mentioned. w. Patrick Henry was the usual successful floor manager.

 CEDAR GROVE, N. J., June 3O.- Having resigned after confessing he was a naughty boy" for kissing pretty 15-year-old Miss Maud Jacobus, the Reverend J. Lewis Evans, 55, "The Kissing Pastor of Cedar Grove" left here today with his wife, his luggage and no regrets.
 According to~the story told by Evans, Mrs. Evans and Miss Jacobus at the time the kissing incident was prObed by the Congregational church standing committee, Miss Maud was helping arrange the parsonage and found Dr. Evans among the furniture in an upstairs bedroom.
 Dr. Evans admitted that it was then he kissed her. The Standing commit tee sat down on Dr. Evans, demanding his resignation.
 His reverence is not without friends among the churchfolk even now, ney- ertheless. Lewis Evans, no relation, who formerly was treasurer of the church, said that "even if Dr, Evans has been an ass, he has been treated too harshly by the church"
 Dr. Evans said he was glad to know Mir. Evans said that. He said he agreed with him; he guessed he had been an ass."
 Miss Maud had been secretary of Dr. Evans Sunday school. She caus- ed all the row by telling about the bedroom kiss.

New Liquor Rules
 By Judge Brown

VALDEZ, July 3. - Judge Brown has formulated new saloon regula- tions which provide that all liquor sold and taken out of saloons must be registered and the names of the purchasers and the amounts of the sales must be open to inspection by the marshal at all times. Failure to follow these regulations will be made grounds for the revocation of licenses. The judge says saloons have license for retail sales only and not for the distribution of liquor beyond their immediate vicinities. Liquor must not be sold to be taken to Anchorage or other dry towns. An attempt to evade the spirit of the rules will cause licenses to be revoked.
