FIND BODY NEAR WINTHROP.
Mayor Thompson of Chicago Helps
Pick Up Floater South of
KenoSha.

The body Of an unidentified man was
picked up near Winthrop Harbor yes
terday afternoon about two O'Clock,
according to statement made by
Mayor George Kirk of Winthrop Har-
Dor, Mayor Thompson of Chicago was
out about two and half miles cruis-
ing in small steam yatch when body
was seen floating on the lake. Two
men were dispatched in one of the small
boats belonging to the yacht and the
body was towed ashore. Several per-
sons were bathing at Winthrop Harbor
and they saw the body brought in.
Mayor Kirk was notified and he in
turn notified District Coroner Edward
Conrad Of Waukegan, who came in his
auto ambulance to Winthrop Harbor and
brought the body to B. J. Hopkins
undertaking room at Zion City. There
the body was taken care Of and it was
found that the remains had probably
been in the water for probably six
months. The state Of decay and the
fact that the man wore two heavy suits
of underwear, indicate that such was
the case. No Identification marks
could be found on the clothing and
pocket book which was found in one
of the pockets was empty. A small
English made watch was found and this
had but one hand and the crystal was
broken. The man was well dressed.
He wore a dark suit with good shoes.
He had dark hair and dark mustache.
He had broad shoulders, was five feet
eight inches in height and weighed
about one hundred and fifty pounds.

to go out by automobile and twenty
four motor cars carrying them left the

YoUNGsTER sw1Ms SIX WAYS.

Little Thurva Forbes, aged six and
visiting here at the home of her grand
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Forbes,
Bill Wisconsin street, is "some swim
mer. ~
Thurva arrived from Madison a week
ago and the first thing she did was to
take a trip to the bathing beach where
she heard the children were having
such great times every day. The first
time she walked into Lake Michigan
she didn t make great strides, at least
SO it seemed to onlookers, in battling
with the waves, but the second time
she went in she seemed to get on
swimmingly-" At the end of one
week now she not only can swim but
she swims half dozen ways and she
did not use water wings in learning
either.
They say Thurva is some foater' ;,
and among the various ways that she
can travel through the waves are by
the side stroke, dog fashion, and the
Australian dip.

Mrs. Edith Adams Stewart whose

Rex McCreery, the lively little Green
Bay suffragist who has been doing field
work in several of the campaign states
in the past three years, and whose viva
city, rollicking Irish wit and lightning
sharp repartee make her speaker In
great demand, is to be another. Miss
Ada James of Richland Center is also
to be on the program. She is suffra-
gist of the second generation, her
mother being one of the pioneers who
kept the cause alive in the dark days
for suffragists when to be one was to
be center of attack for the newspaper

The above map shows the system of
tentative state trunk lines planned by
the Good Roads Association of Wiscon-
sin. These roads are not finally de-
termined, but this is a tentative plan
worked out after careful study. The
Good Roads Association of Wisconsin
is seeking to get legislation to en-
power the State Highway Commission
to lay out a prospective system of
state trunk lines covering Wisconsin
north, east, south, and west; and
further legislation that will result in

their being expeditiously built. A sug-
gested plan is to secure Legislation pro
viding that the state shall pay two
thirds of the cost Of the main arteries
in each county, which constitute units
of the state trunk line system. This
means that each county DESTROYS of get
ting state aid for its main arteries
would get busy at once to build them,

would result in the trunk lines. A

Miss Harriet Balm, president of the

Mrs. Gerald Mcdowell is to be chair
man, and which opens next next week,

The state finance campaign is to be
carried through on democratic lines, -
said Miss Balm this morning. "We
shall endeayor to get small amounts
from many donors rather than a few
large ones from one or two generous
souls.
