from Milwaukee and other cities and
from every factory in Kenosha men
We're asking that they be allowed to
go with the trucks.
Most of the men who are going from
Kenosha to aid Uncle Sam have never
smelled powder. The fourth man to
send in his name for the trip was
George O'Hare, son of Chief of Police
owen O'HaTe. He made application
for place on the train just as soon as
he was advised that it was going.
In the list are a number of men who
have seen actual service. Solon Saw.
yer was with the United States forces
which put down the insurrection in the
Republic of Haiti He came to Keno
sha only few days ago and like a
ZEAL soldier of fortune he hurried to
be listed for service. Slater. has seen
service with the famous mounted
Canadian. police force, and Fagerston
was formerly a member of one of the
companies of the Illinois National
Guard.
1t is pretty certain that there will
be a big demand for Jeffrey trucks
II there is real war with Mexico and
the government is following the rule
of asking volunteers for truck driving
service. These men will not be on the
battle front, but they are going to be
a part of the backbone of the army
the commissary.
No formal announcement can be
made as to the time the Jeffrey train
will leave for Ell Paso, but it will be
some time between sunset and sunrise.
At any rate the whole company
will be off to the front within forty
eight hours.

STATE TAX is MUCH REDUCED
Heavy County Tax Is Paid to Make
Possible Payment for Building and
Equipping Willowbrook Sanatorium
Big Falling Off in Income Tax.

The city is square with one creditor
at least for on Wednesday City Treas
urer Martin Steinmetz paid the bill of
the city to the state of Wisconsin and
the county of Kenosha and it can be
said that the payment of the state
and county taxes put a big crimp in
the bank roll of the city. The total
check which the treasurer handed over
to the county treasurer amounted to
$122,966 and this did not include
the amount of the income tax which
the city has collected for the county
and state. It's the largest check for
state and county taxes which has
been paid in some. years, but it can be
said that the county tax was abnor-
mally large this, year on account of
the building of the Willowbrook
Sanatorium. The total payment to the
state was $49, 268.75 and in addition
the city paid $7,73642 for the support
of the various state institutions in
which Kenosha patients are being
cared for. This is not total loss to
the city as some time later the state
will pay back to the city of Kenosha
in school support the sum of
500, 1855. This will make the net
taxes to the state for the year only a
little over $4,000 and this, is much
81 alier taan in the former year.
The city paid to the county for the
~
5,361.18. Nearly half Of this amount
was required for the payment of the
city's portion for the building and
equipping of the new sanatorium. It
will probably be years before the city
is called to pay SO large an amount
to the county again.
The total of the income taxes has
net been figured out as yet, but it will
be small item. The treasurer esti-
mated that the total to be paid from.
the city to the county and state as
share of the income tax collected
would no exceed $4,000. This would
mean that the total income tax col
lected in the city is not greatly in ex-
cess of ten thousand dollars. Seventy
per cent of the amount collected is re-
tanned by the city. When the finance
committee of the council estimated
the receipts for the year the income
tax was expected to bring in about
$4,000 Unless collections are very
brisk when the sheriff and the district
attorney get hold Of the list of delin-
quents the amount will fall way below
the estimate. In fact it is expected
that it will be less than half of the
amount. On account of theN big fall
down in the amount of the income tax
collected it will be necessary for the
city to curtail expenses in some of the
departments which will be short Of
funds. The curtailing process will be
taken care Of after the city treasurer
has made his final report of collec-
tons to the city.
The payment Of the state and county
tax marks the winding up of the work
of the treasurer for this collecting sea-
son and the tax books will be turned
over within a few days. Delinquents
on the tax roll will then be compelled
to settle with the county treasurer and
pay such penalties as are provided for
by the state laws

MAUDE YULE TO Be LEADER
Board of Education Unanimously
Adopts Plan for Opening Junior
High School at the Frank Build
ing With Many New Features.

The "verdant' freshman is to be-
come thing of the past at the Ke-
nosha high school as at the meeting of
the board of education on Tuesday ev-
ening the board unanimously voted to
open Junior High School in Kenosha.
The school is to be located in the
Frank building and it is planned to as
sociate at this building the seventh,
eighth and ninth grade pupils from all
schools in the city where crowded con
dltlons may make such plan necessary
The present high school building will
be used exclusively for the tenth, elev-
enth and twelfth grades or for the
sophomore, junior and senior classes of
the high school.
The plan has been adopted after a
long consideration by leading members
of the board and it has the complete
sanction of the superintendent. Tt is
In keeping with the progressive school
movements all over the country and it
is thought that it will do much to keep
boys and girls of Kenosha in school
for longer period. The Junior High
School will have all of the features of
the old fashioned high school. 1t will
give the members of it's student body
2 chance to have their own .organiza-
tions, to develop class and school spirit
and to make it possible for the teachers
in charge to interest these younger stu
dents in the higher grades of school
work.
Miss Maude Yule who has had wide
experience in both grade and high
school work, was named as principal of
the new Junior High School
1t is to be opened at the beginning of
the new school year in September and
it is expected that it will have more
than five hundred students. The en-
tire Frank building will not be needed
for the school and thereAwill be room
left for the kindergarten grades and
possibly for one or two of the element
airy schools.
The change will make it possible for
Kenosha to get along for some time
without building new high school and
the removal of the higher grade stu
dents to the Junior high school will
make it possible to take better care of
the elementary work in the graded
schools. Many of the cities in the
country the size of Kenosha have tried
the plan of having junior high school
and in every case it has worked out
most successfully. It is said that con-
ditions in Kenosha are particularly fav-
orable to the operation of the plan.
It is said that the students in these
grades have been anxious to have the
plan carried out in order that the higher
grade pupils may have school which
will be peculiarly their own.
There will be no other changes in the
| teaching force to meet the demands of
| the new school at this time but it is pro
able that the practical working out of
the plan may demand the transfer of
several teachers to the Frank building
after the opening of the new year.

The meeting was marked with the
usual executive session. at which
The merits and demerits of some of the
teachers were considered, but for the
most part this executive session was
given over to triaing considerations of
trifing failures to recognize the dig
nifty of the board members. Nothing
was brought out which in any way re-
flected on any of the teachers or the
superintendent, but the executive SEES
sion offered a way for some of the

Dorothy Garfield Fisher has not
only told story of great interest in
"The Bent Twig," but she has woven
1t skilfully around and through a
theme Of value and significance. The
bent twig' is Sylvia Marshall, eldest
daughter in the family Of profess
sor of economics in state university
Of the middle west The great de-
termining factor in Sylvia's life is the
home training, Shaped and permeated
In turn by the vital personality of her
mother. Different as she is in her
own nature from the spartan stuff OF
which Mrs. Marshall is made, the
daughter is so lastngly influenced by
the integrity and rghtness of her
early ideals that she always reacts IN
time from later influences which
nearly wreck her life. THE Bent
Twg' must be counted as one of the
best portrayals of American life and
character that has appeared in recent
years, and also as one of the most
skilfully written novels of this or sew
cral seasons. There is a largeness Of
grasp and big human understanding
