the links for the Shaw and Brown tro-
ply next Tuesday at the Columbia
Country Club. The contest 10 the third

and is in tho strategically favorable
position.
The knights Of the driver and mashie
have been collecting and assiduously
practicing over the classic Columbia
course for the last two weeks and all
report their respective games are at
present unbeatable, but human frailty
has to be reckoned with. D. Bradley

the country, may have had his mighty
arm unnerved by the strain of driving,
not golf ball, but his car in record

still retain their customary brilliancy

HE woRKs-NoT TALKS.
Robert N. Aiken is Real Thing in Road
Boosters-Usad Own Money
for Making Road.

There is one man who didn t talk
at all at the Good Roads meeting at the
State Line Good Roads meeting, and
yet his actions have been louder than
words Robert n. Aiken has done much
towards improving one of the worst
stretches of road between Chicago and
Milwaukee. With the exception of. a
stretch north of Ben Jensen's home,
Just over the state line, you eouldn t
have ploughed through a more wretch
ed quagmire.
Colonel Aiken didn't sit down and
scratch his head and leave it for good
roads boosters to try and stir up some
thing, he just got busy and putting his
hand in his own pocket and with the
assistance of county funds he built
three-quarters of mile of road at q
cost of $1,400. Besides this, the Colo-
mel was an active agitator in getting
a bridge over the ravine at Beulah Park
crossing. This menace to public safety
was responsible for seven auto wrecks
and the capsizipg of two wagons, and
now we have 30-foot concrete bridge
costing about $500, whereas before
autos had to pass each other on
tWelve-foot bridge and stand chances of
landing in the ravine below. The thee
quarters-mile stretch just completed is
in good shape, although it needs more
crushed stone to make it a solid and
permanent road bed.
The Aikens are not in favor of con-
crete roads. Colonel Aiken was not
present at the meeting yesterday, aud
it was probably on account of ms orpo-
sition to concrete road, as that seems
ed to be the solution offered by some
of the Wisconsin speakers. Wisconsin
is taxed now, they say, more than the
citizens can bear, and on this side of the
line we don't want our taxes doubled,
The system employed in the east of pa
trolling the roads every few mics by a
man with a horse and wagon, with little
heaps Of stone here and there at his
disposal, seems to them the only solu-
ton for keeping the roads in good re,
pair after they are once CONSTRUCTED,
and no doubt this is the only solution.
"Let the roads be wide" is the slo-
gan of the Aiken family. Narrow roads
they say are a menace and a constant
danger to autoists.

nosha and among the hundred who gath.
cred about the banquet board were
many of the cold Timers" who had

in mebership and a notable revival in

CADET WRITES OF LIFE.
West Point Seems Tribe Monotonous
to the 'Plebe" But Has Redeem
ing Features.

Arthur E. Mickelsen, the newly APP
pointed West Point cadet from this
district, is feeling the woes of the
"plebe' to some extent, if one may
judge from his letter to G. N. Tremper,
principal of the High School, The let
ter has, also, just a tinge of a longing
for the old home town.
"Dear Mr.. Tremper:-" writes the
young soldier, ct suppose you are won
dering if I have forgotten all of my
friends in Kenosha. L have not and I
have no idea of doing so, as long as
they are not DESTROYS of it, which I
hope they are not.
"I'll bet things are humming along
there and though there may be many
new faces, the worries are doubtless
much the same as they were for the
DID,
Gone of the greatest of our worries
is that report such as 'all right, ,
given to the authorities, or to a cadet
representing the authorities, is not to
be violated. And if a violation occurs,
even if accidental, the cadet voluntar-
lily reports himself. Any infringement
of this is not brooked by the corps of
cadets.
"The first year here is pretty hard
on the new corners. Every other cadet
has the right to correct him and to do
so quite strenuously, though he may
not lay hands on him. If he does so
the 'plebe' has the right to retaliate,
which has been done.
"Give my best regards to my teach
ers and to my former fellow students.
[ wish | could see a few of them. Ev-
erybody here is from different part
OF the country and though it makes it
interesting it would seem nice to see
a few home folk.
" You have pretty good conception
OF what this place is and know that the
greatest thing that impresses one is its
system. This place would be unlivable
were it not that cadet honor sanctions
certain things and you are not punished
unless you are caught"
Mr.. Nicholson acknowledged a per
sonal debt to Mr.. Tremper for advice
and encouragement during their asso-
citation.

P. T. A. COUNCIL MEETS.
Committees on Movies and Dental
Clinic Render Interesting
Reports to Body.

At the Parent Teacher Association
council held Friday evening in the High
School it was decided to continue the
effort to get "a public school dental
clinic opened, as the crying need for
work on the teeth of the school children
is apparent, and in many eases parents
are unable to bear the. expense.
The moving picture committee chair
man reported that interesting letters
received from the federal government
in response to inquiries indicate that
the film manufacturers intend combin-
ing to get the appointment of federal
film censor. If their present plans
come to fruition all scenarios win be
passed upon by the censor before the
company goes to the expense of the
him production. Unless the scenario is
approved no films will be made from il.
In this manner much unnecessary ex-
pense will be, saved as under the pres.
ent system of censorship much money
is often invested in a film only to be
wasted when it is ruled Out after the
first view by the censor.

to the Circuit Cuort.

The Police and Fire Commission is
looking for site for a new police
headquarters. At the meeting of the
commission on Friday night President
FL. B. Robinson was instructed to APP
pear before the council on Monday
evening and ask that committee of
aldermen be named to act with the
Police and Fire Commission in select
ing site for the proposed new build
ing. Some time ago the city council
gave the commission authority to pur-
chase the property at the corner of
Park and Chicago streets. After look
ing carefully into plans for such lay
out as the city Of Kenosha will de-
mand for it's police department the com
mission reached. the decision that the
site suggested was not large enough.
An option had been taken on the prop
erty and efforts were made to secure
options on portions of surrounding
property, but it was found impossible
The commission is now planning to re-
open the whole matter of the site and
it will consider other property.

county unite in the building of a real

not ready to recommend the adoption

in mind for the new building Several
sites have been suggested, but the mat
ter will be thoroughly threshed out be,
fore any new decision is made.

yiction of Lojeski, has been made to

from the city if Lojeski is forced tc
pay fine on the charge of assault and
battery and for this reason the com
mission decided that the matter should
be held open. It may not be taken up
for several months as the commission
will not act until after the court
has disposed of the criminal charge
against Lojeski.
