In order that the work Of the extern
sion division of the University of Wis
consin may be brought to the atten-
ton Of as many Kenoska people as pos
sible, N. Q. Lucas, the extension $ Ke-
nosha representative, spent most of
last Saturday morning setting up pla-
cards in the windows of Kenosha down
town business houses. The placards
suggest a few Of the courses which may
be taken through the extension division
and also state Mr.. Lucas office hours
in the Simmons Public Library. While
at the libary last Saturday, Mr.. Lucas
was approached by a considerable mum
Der of people who wished to enroll in
extension work. AS soon as it is gen
orally known that the extension repre-
sentative is in Kenosha every Satur-
day, it is expected that large number
of Kenosha people will enroll in one
Of the many courses offered. Bulletins
giving detailed information on all sub
Jects offered by the extension division,
may be obtained by calling at the IL
brary on any Saturday afternoon or
evening. On file at the library is a

ARE GUESTS OF CHAIRMAN
Chairman spartz Entertains at Hotel
Schwartz at Twin Lakes Following
Road Inspection Trip-Many New
Roads Completed During Year.

The county unit for road building
in Kenosha county came prominently
to the front at the conference of the
members of the County Board and other
officials of the city, held at the
Schwartz Hotel at Twin Lakes on Tues
spection of the county roads. The
abolishing of the town system and the
adoption Of the county as the unit, was
strongly urged by County Highway
Commissioner John Herzog and by
many of the members Of the party. In
defense Of the county unit Commission
er Herzog claimed that it would bring
more systematic road building and
more permanent road building with a
better division of the cost over the
entire county. Mr.. Herzog held that
this plan for road building would prove
more satisfactory to both the city and
county. Tt is pretty certain that the
county unit plan will come before the
County Board for discussion at the
coming session in November and there
is possibility Of its adoption. It has
been considered for years by members
of the board and they were apparently
close in touch with the movement at
the confidence on Tuesday.
The ms pection trip was a great sue
cess, the members of the party cover
ing over sixty miles, including all the
new roads built in the county during
the year. This included the three
miles Of concrete road, two miles Of
limestone macadam and the mile and
half of gravel road. It was announced
that about three miles of gravel road
are now under construction and they
will be completed by the end of the
road building season. The members of
the County Board were pretty well
pleased with the condition of the oiled
roads and it is certain that the oi1ing
of the roads will be continued during
the coming year. The cost of the
oiling was paid entirely out of the
county's share of automobile fees paid
for state licenses.
Plans for the road work for the COM
ing year were discussed and there is
reason to believe that when the County
Board meets they will be more ready
to consider the demands of the town
Of Pleasant Prairie for bonds for the
completion of the Sheridan Road and
other state highways in that town.
Members Of the board who have not
been any too friendly to this work,
have changed their minds and it is
thought that the strong sentiment in
favor Of the completion of the work
in the city will be reflected in the
vote Of the supervisors representing
the various city wards.
The gathering at the Schwartz at
noon on Tuesday was one Of the most
notable good fellowship gatherings
ever. held by the officials of the county.
John P. Spartz of Paris, chairman Of
the County Board, was the host for
the dinner and a spring lamb dinner
was served.
Covers were laid for thirty guests
at the dinner and after dinner was
over there was the usual round Of
speeches. Judge G. E. Randall acted
as POSTMASTER and responses were

Rowland avenue and a lot Of the
rest Of the west side went to court
today as this morning in the Circuit
Court the jury took up the hearing OF
the evidence in the ten thousand dollar
Islander suit brought by Holton Brothers
against Robert A. Wilson. From the
way people from the west side crowded
the court room it is pretty certain that
the case is going to be one Of the most
interesting cases of the kind ever tried
in the Circuit Court. 1t will probably
take up the time Of the court and jury
for the remainder Of the week.
Thomas P. and Robert A. Holton
leased one Of the rooms owned by
Robert A. Wilson at the corner of Eli
zabeth street and Rowland avenue, in
September Of 1915. They opened
CIGAR store which is something of a
community center in the busy west
side business district. In their suit
against Wilson they charge him with
seeking to disposess them of the prop
erty and charge that he maliciously
slandered them in order to force them
out of business. There is two counts
in the action brought against Wilson
and on each of them the sum of five
thousand dollars in damages is claimed.
The Holton Brothers claim that Will
son systematically circulated reports in
the neighborhood that they had per-
mitted gambling in the cigar store and
In the cellar connected with the build
ing. They declare that on at least
twenty occasions the police were called
BY the defendant to make an investi-
cation into what was going on in the
hmilding. They assert that Wilson
called single police officers and squads
Of officers and that on several occasions
the wagon" backed up to the Holton
store on account Of the fact that Will
son had "tipped'' it off to the police
that gambling was going on in the
building. They assert that in addition
to the frequent calls for the police that
Wilson talked with many people and in
these conversations he declared that
the place was common gambling
house"
The two brothers assert that as a
result of the alleged slanderous stories
circulated their business has been ruin
ed and their regulations damaged.
Wilson has filed an answer to the
complaint in which he asserts that he
had been advised by divers people that
gambling was being permitted at the
place and that his call to the police de-
partment was for the sole purpose of
promoting justice. He declared that he
never made The statement that the place
was a common gambling house.
Many witnesses have been summon
ed by both the plaintiffs and the de-
PENDANT and it is expected that the life
of the west side will be laid bare by
these witnesses. Calvin Stewart APP
pears as attorney for the plaintiffs, aud
r. v. Baker is in charge of the de-
Tense. Tt is expected that the taking
Of evidence in the case will be CON
Guided some time on Thurday.

HAVE EXPENDED $780, Is
State Aid Secured for Six Families
At An Average of Less Than 81
Gents Per Day Per
Individual.

Three hundred and thirteen families
with a total of 1875 individuals, were
taken care of by the Associated Chari-
ties in the year which has just ended,
was the report made at the annual
meeting of the organization held Tues
day afternoon in it's offices.
Beside these, six families, conpris-
ing chirty individuals were given
state aid in the aggregate sum of $185
month. As will be seen, the average
amount Of state aid per individual was
the meagre sum of $6.16 per month.
BY counting thirty days to the, month,
the amount per individual is found to
be 81 cents, minus, per day, as a mem
Der of the organization pointed out,
would make small allowance for
clothes, food and housing per person.
The disbursements of the Associated
Charities for the past year has hsen
$5,106.15.
Interesting reports which will show
the cause Of disability, the number of
adults and the number Of children car
ed for, and other facts which are per-
tinent to the situation in Kenosha,
were not prepared for the annual meet
ing, but are expected to be ready for
q board meeting to be held Friday
afternoon. New officers will be chosen
at this meeting.
Seven board members were elected
to fill vacancies by expiration Of terms
and retirement, and it is said by those
interested that the Associated Chart
ties now has a particularly strong and
enthusiastic group in its directorate.
The newly elected members are: HI.
E. Barden, to succeed himself; Conrad
Shearer, William Fisher, Mrs. Ell. III.
Lane, Mrs. James R. Anderson, DIR.
Herbert Wright, and Clark S. Judd
A possibility of the Associated
Charities moving its headquarters
from the present location on Main
street to the Y. M. G. A. building, is
to be considered by the board at its
meeting on Friday.
If the Chamber of Commerce, which
has rooms engaged in the Y. M. G. A.
building feels that it can spare aasuite
of four rooms from its floor, after con-
sultation with the members, the rooms
win be taken by the A. G., provided the
board approves the action on Friday.
The present quarters are crowded
and for many reasons the change is
thought by many of the members to be
desirable one, if it can be effected
A subject of general interest taken
up by the association Is meeting Tues
day, is that of securing Alexander
johnson, famous expert on feeble
mindedness, to come to Kenosha to
talk at public meeting to be held
later in the season.
The subject of the moron and the
harmless feeble minded individual
was taken up by special committee,
the chairman of which was Mrs.
Charles Matthews, appointed by the
City Club last winter to make inquiries
into ways and means of inducing the
courts to provide retention facilities
for restraining these harmless ones
from irresponsible acts of criminality.
Should it be decided at Friday s
board meeting to bring DR.. johnson to
Kenosha he will doubtless attract a
large and interested audience.

! Head of the Blues with a great buncA
of red carnations and Captain Head
slipped over to Captain Dayton a box
of his own best cigars q
AS the Captains extended greetings
and congratulations an condolences q
messangey hoy brought tsiegra.n from
FL U. eiramose. p1ssile of tan hain-
Der of Commerce, who is now IL san
Francisco. 1t brought greetings and
congratulations for the winners a. i.st
as much greetings and thanks &c che
men who had the short end in the con
test.
The telegram was greeted with cheers
and committee was directed to send q
message to President Simmons ann2unc-
ing to him the result of the conte-t.
FOutside of the dirty work said
Captain Dayton, for he was the first
speaker called, "'this has been an ex-
ceptionally clean campaign. I saw right
at the start that the Blues had the CO.
operation which we want to make this
Chamber of Commerce success and
when I found that the Reds were out
of the running [ decided to put the pep
for the Reds into the Blues and I just
naturally scared them to death and
forced them to win. I was the best
plugger that the Blues had at any stage
of the game.
"We admit that we were scared and
we submit that it takes a scared bunch
to get away with the swag", was the
response of Captain Head. 'tEvery
army, even the Salvation Army has 70
have it's trumpeter q is not ex-
pected to do real fighting but he is ex-
pected to incite others to fight. As an
inciter am willing to admit that Day
ton is the real world beater. / am
proud of the Blues and just as proud of
the Reds. Now [ want them both to turn
right round and put the same pep that
there has been shown in the contest into
the further work of this big movement
for the advancement of Kenosha."
With the passing of the compliment
there was plenay of applause and the
company turned to other speakers.
Wells Roberts admitted that Dayton
had fooled him. Fl. J. MelIum told of
his experiences and other speakers told
of the enthusiasm which had been shown
by the people of Kenosha in welcoming
the chance to form an organization for
mutual benefit.
A. Fl. Melville of the University Of
Wisconsin was the only out of town
speaker at the dinner. 'FI want to
congratulate Kenosha on having the
largest Chamber of Commerce in the
state Of Wisconsin. Your records now
show 1041 members and a lot more
coming in right away. It is also a mat
ter of interest to know that this is
"your" Chamber of Commerce because
you organized it yourself and did not
pay any one for showing you how to do
it. The spirit that has been shown in
this membership campaign is the spirit
that is going to make this organization
great movement for the advancement
of Kenosha.
The work of tabulating the applica-
tions was started this afternoon and
it will take several days to get it all
worked out but in due time additions
to the membership will be made public.

We cannot too often impress upon
Republicans the necessity of getting
out the vote on election day. Political
victories are more often won by or
ganization than by issues. Not that
the issues are lacking this year, be-
cause every day adds to the vital rea-
sons why the Wilson administration
should be defeated and Republican
majority returned in both Houses Of
Congress. With these issues and the
transcendent necessity for Republican
success, the organization of the party
