CHICAGO NURSE COMING.
VIII Talk TO Association for Relief of
French Front Tuesday and is to
Direct Making Dressings.

All was hurry and activity in the
store at 214 South street today as the
Kenosha branch of the Society for the
Relief of the French Front began the
process of installing itself there.
Under the direction of Mrs. E. L..
Grant, president, and other members of
the society, the work of putting the
place in order and placing the tables,
winding machines, etc., went on, N
preparation for the opening of the head
quarters at 9 a. m. Monday, after which
from 9 a. m. to II, and from to 3
p. m, daily, for a month, the head
quarters will be open with someone IN
charge to direct work, and every wo-
man who cares to give little or much
of her time to the service of the
wretched ones MANNED by the war, is
invited to come and spend as much time
as she can.
1t is long way for a helpful hand
to reach across the ocean from unknown
Kenosha of the central part of the
United States to some equally unknown
spot on the French front where battles
are constantly raging. But the hand
will reach over the distance, and disre-
garding differences of nationality and
language, will do something to alleviate
the misfortunes of the soldiers.
Tuesday morning of next week one
Of the nurses connected with the Chica-
go branch of the relief society will
come to Kenosha. She will make an
address in the headquarters and will
also give explicit instructions in the
making of bandages and other forms
of dressings.
EThe work we do is easy, clean
work, :" said Mrs. z. G.. Simmons, chair
man of the work committee, this morn
ing while at the headquarters, "such
as tearing and rolling bandages, folding
gauze, making congresses, arm sings,
etc. There is no sewing.
eve want every interested woman
to help US. We expect to send funds
for the purchase of drugs, instruments,
stretchers and other necessaries.
"We feel that the public of Kenosha
should, in material and labor send at
least $4,000 worth of supplies. Those
in charge of the national relief associa.
tion are begging for materials and we
hope to see wonders done here before
the end of the month.
"Any contribution from ten cents up
will be greatly appreciated and every
penny will count. This is a worthy
cause and we need the help of every
one.''
Workers are asked to please bring
| aprons and scissors.

TAKEN OFF THE ROADS.
Members of First Truck Company Sent
from Kenosha Retained at Headquar-
tiers for Repair Work.

Truck Company No. ] sent from Ke-
nosha to TIE Mexican border is not 60
ing to have great deal to do with The
transportation work in the future as
a letter from George Schneberger, the
official correspondent of the company,
announces that the Kenosha boys have
been taken from the trucks and convert
ed into a repair company working at
Columbus. These men were nearly all
expert mechanics and the government Is
going to use them to keep the trucks in
repair. There are lot of different
kinds of trucks used by the government
and the trips over the Mexican deserts
leave the trucks in hard shape and big
repair gang is needed to keep the gov
eminent transportation trains moving.
The change is not entirely to the liking
of the members of the No. / unit as they
are nearly all anxious to get as rear the
fighting front as is possible. Herman
Langenbach is something of hero
among the Kenosha BUNCH at Columbus.
He has just come back to the station
after sixteen days trip wa over
into the mountains of Mexico. With
one sole guard, a sharpshooter, Private
Ketchel, Langenbach drove almost con-
tinuously for sixteen days in order to
deliver supplies to one of the compa-
MES in the mountains seeking Bandit
Villa.

RECALLS BEAUTIES OF PAST
Says the Roads Leading to Kenosha
Were Lined With Exquisite
Flora That Would Still Exist
IF Let Alone.

''T hope that a law to protect wild
flowers, just as the law to protect wild
birds, may be passed at our next ses-
sion of the legislature" said Miss
Emma Robinson, Prairie avenue, this
morning.
~Our flowers that used to be plenti-
full along the roadsides are growing
less every season, and if conditions
that now exist are allowed to prevail
for many more years our country roads
will be shorn of their greatest beauty
by the destruction of their Towering
plants.
1T had this brought forcefully to my
mind a few seasons ago when with
Miss Balm [ was in Asheville, N. c., in
the flower season. AS we drove over
their beautiful roads where the flow
ers blossomed thick at either side,
there was such a profusion that it
seemed no vandalism to get down and
pick one or two. / had just broken
a wild dahlia from it's stalk when a
woman drove up to US.
"'Oh, please she said, don't pick
the flowers. We are carefully protect
ing them so that they may remain.
If they are picked, the seed by which
they are continued is destroyed and
they will soon disappear from our
roads. I did not pick any more
then and I have never since picked a
wild flower.
Gin my childhood as we drove over
the country roads in May, they were
fragrant with the beautiful pink wild
crabapple blossom, with the wild
hawthorne, the wood violets, elder,
dogwood, and at other seasons came
the delicately charming shooting star,
the blue flag or wild iris, the snake
wood, mandrakes, Jacks-in-the-pulpit
and bittersweet.
CHOW, largely since the intrusion
Of the automobile into the rural dis
tricts these flowers have disappeared.
Golden rod that used to be bountifully
plentiful has grown somewhat rare.
Bittersweet can hardly be found at all.
It is because the autoists have gone
out ON flower raids and torn them up
root and branch, leaving neither seed
nor root to reproduce them the next
season.
~ can think Of no better object
for the women of the state than a
crusade to save such Of the wild flow
ers as are left, and let them beautify
their roads that are now denuded by
replanting wherever it is possible the
shrubs and flowers indigenous to the
localities, and where these are not pro-
durable, planting others that will take
their places.
"I hope this matter will be taken
up energetically and that until law
can be passed, school children and
others will appoint themselves guar
dams Of the flowers and will ask
others to let them remain instead of
carrying them off. -

C. G. THELEEN IS SECRETARY
Company Will Manufacture New Kind
of Musical Instrument Which is Said
to Have Been Given a Very En-
thusiastic Reception in Theatres.

Former well known Kenosha people
are named as the incorporators and Of
hcers of a new piano company which
has just been incorporated under the
laws of the state of Illinois, known as
the Marcola Piano and Organ COM
pany. The company has capital
stock of FIVE thousand dollars and the
incorporators are Thomas G.. Marx,
Charles G. Theleen and Frank Caul-
kins. Mr.. Marx is named as president
of the company, Mr.. Caulkins, vice
president, and Mr.. Theleen, secretary
and treasurer. The company is now
completing plant on Austin avenue
in Chicago. The principal product Of
the plant will be the Marcola combina-
tion piano and organ. This is an in
strument which combines the organ
and the piano and it is said to be one
OF the most interesting innovations
offered in the world Of musical instru-
ments in years. 1t is of especial value
for use in theatres, churches and lodge
halls and it is declared to have met
with decidedly favorable reception.
Thomas B. Marx, who is largely re-
sponsible for the invention of the
Marcia, was for many years a reed
maker at the plant of the old Chicago
Brass works in this city. He has for
years been known as an expert in the
manufacture of reeds and reed instru-
ments. The Marcola has been tested
out by many musical experts and has
been declared to be a most valuable
instrument. Charles G.. Theleen, the
secretary end treasurer of the com
pany, was formerly a well known
building contractor in Kenosha. 1T is
expected that the demand for the new
instrument will force early enlarge
ments. of the plant of the company in
Chicago.

GUARDS BAD CROSSINGS.
Northwestern Road Employs Watch
man to Guard "Death Cross
ings' on Racine Road.

The North Western Railway COM
pany has shown a willingness to do its
part to eliminate the dangers Of the
road between Racine and Kenosha and
without any order from the railroad
commission that company has station
ed night and day watchmen at the two
"death crossings" near the Chicory
plant. Shanties have been put up for
the use of the fagmen and it is under
stood that the service is to be main
tanned during the entire spring and
summer season. It is just possible
that before the summer is well adj
vanced the company will make ar
engagements for the installation Of a
double set of gates which will guard
the two crossings and that tower
man will be placed IN charge of the
two crossings. The action Of the COM
pany will be greatly appreciated by
the men and woman who operate auto
mobiles between the two cities.

WAS WALKING ALONG TRACKS
Engineer and Fireman in Charge of
North Shore Limited Declare Man
Paid No Attention to Warning Sig
nals-Thrown Against Box Car.

Anthony Jermakowicz, thirty years
of age and an Austrian by birth, was
fatally injured just after eight o'clock
Friday night when he was struck by
the North Coast limited train on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railway
at a point just north of the Ounce
street crossing The man was walking
south along the track and evidently
did not see the approaching train.
The train struck him on the right side
hurting him over against box car and
breaking several bones, but he was not
mangled. AS soon as possible the train
was stopped and the injured man was
brought back to the local station. He
was taken to the Kenosha hospital in
the police ambulance, but he died be-
fore he could be placed on the operat-
ing table. The remains were removed
to the Hansen morgue and an inquest
will be held on Monday morning.
Jermakowicz resided at the corner
Of Racine and Fairfield avenues and
he had eaten his supper at his home.
He was employed at the Macomber-
Whyte rope plant until Friday, but he
had given up his position and after
supper he declared that he was going
to walk out to the plant to adjust
something in regard to the wages he
had coming. He had gone to the plant
and on the return trip he stopped at
the Neubauer saloon and had borrow
ed dollar from one of the men in the
place. He declared that he was going
out to1one Of the other factories to
seek work on a night shift. When
he left this place he appeared to
be perfectly sober and he drank moth
ing in the place.
The engineer in charge of the train
saw the man walking along the tracks
and he sounded the whistle several
times to warn him of his danger.
Jermakowicz appeared to have heard
the warning and he walked to the side
of the track. The train was running
at high rate of speed and the en-
glneer was unable to stop the engine
before the man had been struck and
hurled against the box car. When he
was picked up Jermakowicz was TN
conscious and he did not regain
consciousness. The man was not
rnangled ia any way.
The victim of the accident was well
known among the Austrians in Keno
sha. He had lived in the city for a
little over three years and much of
this time he had been employed at
Ropeville. Efforts are now being made
to have some notice of his death
sent to his relatives in Europe. He
was unmarried.
The story of the engineer and fire.
men IN regard to the accident indicate
that the man had plenty of time to
get off the track after the warning
was sounded, but he appeared to pay
little attention to the warning. The
man has always borne good reputa-
ton in Kenosha, but he seemed to be
considerably worked up over the loss
OF his employment at the rope factory.
No arrangements will be made for the
funeral until after the inquest on
Monday.

WILL ACCEPT The INVITATION
Officials of the Club Plan for Many
Gatherings at Paddock's Lake Dur
ing Coming Summer Season-Ex-
pect Children to Start the Season.

1t is long time until the last Thurs
day in August, but the Old Settlers club
of Kenosha county is not going to take
and chances on not having a speaker
and real speaker for the annual reuni-
on of the pioneers of the county and on
Wednesday President P. G. Torrey of
the club sent a formal invitation to
Governor Emanuel L. Philip asking
him to do the club the honor of being
its guest on cold Settler Day."
This is going to be year of frenzied
politics and it is certain that just about
the time that the pioneers gather for
their annual reunion out ct Paddock IS
Lake that the political issues will be
the most interesting thing to talk about
Governor Philip has never spoken at
Paddock IS Lake, but he has expressed
willingness to accept the invitation
of the Kenosha Old Settlers.
1t is thought certain that he will ac-
cept the invitation to come to Kenosha
county for that day and his speech
will be made the feature of the day.
Years ago the Old Settlers decided
that political speech was not the best
thing in the world for the Old Settlers
picnic, but since that time there has
been a decided demand for return to
the old plan.
Governor Philip at that time will
be a candidate for denomination for the
office of governor and his speech in this
county will be pretty nearly the last of
the campaign.
The governor has spoken just once in
Kenosha county since he became active
in politics. His only appearance in the
city was just before the close of the
primary campaign Of 1914.
The plan of inviting the governor to
be the speaker at the coming reunion
Of the old settlers met with the unanie
nous sanction of the members of the
executive committee. The members
held that no more satisfactory speaker
could be secured than the governor of
the state. 1t is expected that the
formal acceptance of the invitation by
the governor will reach the officials of
the club within the next few days.
The officers of the club are arranging
for the usual activities at Paddock's
Lake for this year. There is going to
be the "Children 8 Day. about the
fifteenth of June, at which time the
graduates of the various schools in the
county will gather at Paddock 5 Lake
for the annual commencement exercises.
The annual observance of the Fourth
of July will be held on the Old Settlers
ground and efforts will be made to
make this celebration more notable
than in former years. Some distingu-
ished speaker will be invited to deliver
patriotic address
Some time late in July or possibly
early in August there will be an in
formal reunion for the old settlers and
an effort will be made to limit it to the
pioneers themselves. Then there will
be the annual Old Settlers picnic which
custom has decreed must come on the
last Thursday in August just as GER
tainly as Thanksgiving day comes on
the last Thursday in November. It is
certain that the coming Of the governor
will prove a great drawing card for
the annual gathering of the Old Set
tiers.

FARO Z
WINTER ROOTS FOR POULTRY
Fowls Relish Beets and Turnips as
Substitutes for Green Food
Better to Feed Raw.

Turnips and beets are good green
food substitutes, and fowls relish
them. They can be fed by cutting in
half and allowing the fowls to pick
them to pieces, or they a be ground
fine in a bone cutter and fed in
troughs. 1t is better to feed them
raw than cooked.
Turnips contain 90.6 per cent water,
0.8 per cent ash, 1.3 per cent protein,
IL per cent fiber, SO per cent nitro
gen.
Sugar beets contain 26.7 per cent
water, 90 per cent ash, 1.5 per cent
fiber, 80 per cent nitrogen free ex-
tract, and OIL per cent fat.
Turnip seed may be sown either
very early in spring and an early sum-
mer crop secured, or later in July and
August for winter storing. For early
use plant in rows one to one and one
half inches deep and twelve to eigh-
teen inches apart in the row.
In field culture the rows are often
thirty inches apart to facilitate horse
cultivation. The seed is sometimes
sown broadcast from July 20 to Au-
gust l, when a crop is grown for
stock. Two to three pounds of seed
are required for an acre.
Beets are usually sown the latter
part of April or first part of May.
About the same treatment in planting
is given the beet as is given the
turnip.
