HIGH POINT ROUTE a.

The Reviews article last week on
Christianizing the Home was good. The
writer heard a sermon on this subject
recently. We are too prone to pleasure
these days. Fathers and mothers should
be very careful as to how their children
spend their time, especially on the Sab
hath; becaues if they are raised right
they will likely live right afterwards.
The home should be made place OF
sweet refuge and not simply just a place
to eat and sleep.

Fourteen young Kenoshans have been
laying the foundation Of a familiar ac
quaintanee with good literature, by a
systematic course of reading through
the past winter.
These youngsters have banded to-
gether under the title of the Read
Better Book Clubn and allied them
selves with the Wisconsin Young Peo-
ple's Reading Circle which is a state
organization under the auspices of the
Wisconsin Teachers Association.
Miss Helena Hammond, librarian of
the Simmons Library branch at the cor
ner Of Rowland and Salem avenues,
was the one to inspire the children with
their idea of forming reading club,
and it has continued under her direc-
tion.
Each member of the club keeps a note
book in which record is kept Of the
books read, and it is intended that each
member Of the club shall add to the
list in each grade. Tt begins with the
title " Books Read in the Third Grade, "
and space is provided for the reader
to fill in a summary of the book.
The children who finish prescribed
course of reading are given diploma,
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, superintendent
Of schools, making the presentation,
and thus adding dignity to the cere-
mony. Mrs. Bradford told the children
that the Importance of their line of
reading could not be over estimated and
she congratulated those undertaking it
upon the fact Of their having com
pleted the course.
One of the representative list of
books read, follows: Eleanor Porter's
Pollyanna;" Conrad's 1ATyphoon;"
Waterloo's "Story of Abb Nicolay 3
Boys Life of Abraham Lincoln; y"

An audience of 400 witnessed the
graduation of the German Evangelical
church school pupils Friday night.
After the award of the diplomas
which followed an unusually interest
ing program of recitation, dialogue and
song, Rudolph Haubrich, as the repre-
sentative of the German American AL
lance, awarded two medals offered by
that society for the two pupils, one
boy and one girl, doing the best work
in German for the year just closing.
The award of the medals was surprise
to the pupils as while they knew they
were working for high marks they did
not know that valuable medals were to
be given them. These two honor stu
dents are Elmer Mayer and Miss Olga
Kautz.

GO OVER TO PRIMARY.
Decision ON Road Bonds in Pleasant
Prairie and Somers TO be Laid
Over Until September.

County officials of Kenosha county
on Friday conferred with Engineer
Hirst of the Wisconsin State Highway
Commission in regard to the proposed
bonds to be issued by the towns of
Pleasant Prairie and Somers for the
completion of state highways. The
attorney general has not handed down
any decision in the matter, but the
state officials declare that from what
they have been able to learn it will
be necessary to take a new vote on
the bond proposition. The suggestion
was made on Friday that the matter
be laid over until next September and
then submitted to the voters at the
general primary election. This would
give an abundance of time for the dis
cussion of the matter and it would in
sure pretty full vote on the question.
The officials were agreed that it would
be next to impossible to let contracts
so as to make the building Of the roads
possible for this season This an
nouncement will be a great disappoint-
ment to the Sheridan Road boosters as
they had hoped that the road through
this county would be completed this
season. The opinion of the State High
way Commission is that it would be
very poo-' judgment to let contracts for
such an improvement late in August
and this is probably the earliest date
that could be counted on if the matter
must be re-submitted to the voters.
The state commission is hopeful that
the formal opinion Of the attorney
general will be handed down the first
of next week

Mr.. FOGWELL TO SUPERVISE
Under Him Win Be Assistants Who
VIII Take Charge Of City's
Four School Play
Grounds.

Under the direction of David r. Fog
well, superintendent of recreation in
the public schools, supervised play is
to make its debut in Kenosha next Wed
nesday
On the schoolgrounds Of the Durkee,
Columbus, Balm and Gillett Schools, the
experiment will be tried
No special equipment is to be provid-
ed this year as the grounds are not
fenced, but directors will be on the
grounds to aid the children in organic
ing their play and to help in originating
games for them. Applications have al
ready been received from a number of
school teachers to act as play directors
These directors will plan community
games for the children, rythm exercises,
folk dancing, athletics, teach basketry
and sewing besides teaching them games
with no Interior objects.
But the most interesting Of all the
work done will be that of the swimming
classes which are to be taken at stated
intervals to the Island and given an OPP
portunity to learn how to swim Excur-
sions into the country for the purpose
of studying flowers, birds and geology
are also to form an important part of
the playground activities.
And ali will be free to all of the chill
dren of the city who care to accept
the opportunity Offered.
Supervised play has been tried for
several seasons in Milwaukee with the
most notable success. Under HI. O..
Berg, playground director, much has
been accomplished in the way of COM
munity activities through the play
grounds. Play festivals have brought
together the parents and friends to see
the children at their games. Celebra-.
tions Of different hol lays have been
observed with the. parents taking part.
Little Mother classes have been con-
Quoted on the Fairgrounds in connec-
tion witk the play This year the length
of the play day has been extended from
5 D. m. which was the limit last vaca-
ton time, to $3.50 p. m. with the APP
prevail Of those living near the play
grounds as it was found that the super
vised play there was much less bolster
Gus and Objectionable noise than when
the places were left free to any group
of youngsters who cared to come along
and make use of it, often playing
roughly, as is never the case where
there is supervised play.

WOULD START WORK SOON.
Elks Building Committee in Session
Friday Seeks to Rush Work
on Big Improvement.

The committee in charge of the build
ing of the new Elks Club house held
its first meeting on Friday afternoon
and plans are being made to have the
work started just as soon as possible.
Efforts will be made to dispose of the
old malt house property to some of the
big wrecking companies with the under
standing that it will be removed with
IN thirty days after the title to the
property has been secured. Ten archi-
tects will be invited to offer COMPETE
tive sketches for the new building and
1t is expected that the proposition will
be sufficiently alluring to attract the
services of some of the best architects
IN the country. The committee IS hope
full that it will be able to report these
sketches to the members of the lodge
by the latter part Of this month and
that the contracts may be let so that the
actual work on the building may be
started before the middle of August.
just as soon as the ground has been
cleared the committee plan to have the
work on the new building started.

MANY BABIES TO Be VISITED
In Year and Half ia Babes Have Been
Born to Foreign Parents in City
Would visit All and See
They Keep Well.

The City Health department has rec
ord of ia babies born into homes of
foreign parents in Kenosha in the past
one and one-half years.
In many of these homes the parents
have not learned American ways In
some Of them the children are not prop
erly fed; in some they are not properly
clad for this climate as the mother
clings to traditions of other lands where
conditions made a method suitable
which is altogether unsuitable here; or
they may not realize the necessity for
screening the child from flies and other
insects; they may not know many other
things which would help to make their
babies strong and healthy.
Too Much for One Woman.
AS the department has but one visit
ing nurse, Mrs. Elizabeth Stikel. it is
manifestly impossible for her to 20
into all of these homes and discover
whether there are improvements in the
methods Of caring for the children which
can be made, or whether the children
are delicate and need especial medical
care
She therefore asks every mother in
Kenosha who is willing to devote some
little time to friendly visiting among
these families to come to the office of
the health department. at clock Wed
nesday afternoon next, to talk over
the needs Of the city with her and if
possible to volunteer to do some visit
ing.
Each Given Small Territory.
The city will districted and small
apportionmeEts will be made for any
desiring to help in the work
Work similar to this is being done in
Chicago by a large force Of the Visiting
Nurses Association and by volunteer
visitors working under them and it is
estimated that thousands of infants
lives that might otherwise be lost are
preserved annually because of sugges-
tions given the foreign mothers.

COUNTRY CLUB BUSY PLACE.
It Is Establishing Itself More and More
Firmly as Society Summer

becomes more and more the summer
headquarters for society s reyels. This
evening another dance will be held
there.
A card party has been arranged for
Monday and on Tuesday the club will
be one long day Of frolic. From 9 a. m.
when the first golf match is called until
the strains of the last "trot dies
away Tuesday night there viii be some
thing in the way of entertainment ev-
cry minute and it is expected that the
attendance will be record breaking Of
course many flags, fireworks and other
Fourth Of July accessories will play
their part in the general publication.
A lawn tennis tournament for the
women will be in progress on the courts
all day while the men are on the links.
Luncheon and dinner are both to be
served in the clubhouse and many of
the members will leave the club only
long enough to dress for the different
functions, between 8 a. NJ and the
dancing party.
Card parties have been arranged for
both morning and afternoon so that
members who are not interested in golf
will be offered the lure of the card table
unless they prefer lingering on the wide
porches and lazily visiting other sim
ilarly minded ones.

FINDS NOTE IN BOTTLE.
Pleasant Prairie Farmer Gets Evidence
of Suicide of Detroit Man in
River at Racine

The following note was found in a
sealed bottle, which was picked up
on the lake beach between Kenosha
and Winthrop Harbor on June "a by
A. A. Kernberger, a farmer living at
r. F. ID. No. 81, Kenosha county:
"Whoever opens this bottle will
find my body in the river just
south Of State street bridge, Racine,
Bill ALERT, Detroit, Mich
The note is dated May &c, 1916, and
was sent to Police Chief HI. G. Baker
in Racine, Friday morning by Mr.. Kern
berger with the following explanation:
/" Enclosed find note which was pick
ed up on the lake shore in bottle be-
tween Kenosha and Winthrop Harbor
on June "a. The probabilities are that
it is hoax, but / am sending it to you
in the possibility that it may be true. 4
The Racine police will communicate
with Detroit, Mich, to see whether
there is any person by the name of Bill
ALERT in the city directory. IT is also
probable that the life savers will drag
the river near State street bridge, al
though it is believed that if person
did jump in the river at that point
that his body has been washed down
stream by the current.
The note in the bottle was written
with lead pencil and the paper was
brown, indicating that it had been in
the water for some time.

HOSPITAL GETS MORE LAND.
z. G.. Simmons Presents Hospital Asso-
citation With Land Just South of
the Present Grounds.

Members of the Board Of Directors
Of the Kenosha Hospital Association,
were happy today as it was announced
that z. G. Simmons, who has been the
moving spirit in the work of the asso-
citation since it's organization, had pur
chased and presented to the association
the property of Miss Lucinda Davis,
located on Chicago street just south of
the grounds of the hospital This will
make possible squaring off the grounds
of the hospital. For long time plans
have been under consideration for the
erection Of a nurse s home in connec-
ton with the hospital and it is posi-
bic that the house just presented to
the association will be used for this
purpose until such time as a new
building can be erected. The associa-
tion will get possession of the property
just as soon as the leases now operative
have expired. The ground is 60x132
feet and it will prove of great benefit
to the carrying out of the plans of the
association in the future.

One peddler ran up against the new
Kenosha ordinance this morning. He
was attempting to sell his wares in the
Office of the clerk of the municipal
court when he was notified to either
get license or get out. He took the
latter course. He had just started
work in the city when he heard of the
new license law and he declared that
the provisions of it were prohibitive
so far as his business was concerned.
