OPEN SCHOOL IN SEPTEMBER.

Racine county's training school for
teachers will open it's first term on
Tuesday, September 5, at Union Grove,
where the county board has been grant
ed the use of two rooms in the high
school, free of rental for a period of
two years. Prof. A. j. Smith, former
principal of the Wilmot Union High
school, has been engaged to take
charge of the institution and will spend
considerable of the summer in soliciting
rural and high school graduates of Ke-
nosha county to take the course of two
years of ten months each. Miss Blanche
Roberts, county supervising teacher
under appointment by the county board
has been selected as assistant to Prof.
Smith and her position as supervising
teacher will have to be filled by the
county board at its next session.
The course of study has been mapped
out by Prof. Smith and has been ap-
proved by the state board. Graduates of
high and rural schools are required to
take a JWo-yeafS course after which
time they will be given diplomas per-
hitting them to teach in any of the
rural schools.
The school was established by the
county board for the purpose of increas-
ing the value and standard of the rural
schools which are said to be inferior to
those in the cities. The county offic-
ials were of the opinion that with
properly trained teachers there would
be a gradual improvement in the rural
schools. Teachers, also, would not be
required to attend the state normal
schools as in the past and considerable
expense will thereby be saved those who
wish to fit themselves for teaching.

MEXICO CITY, June 28.-F'irst
Chief Carranza, in speech Tues
day to 10000 students who offered
their services i'll case of war, re-
iterated his statement that any
= further attempts by the American
punitive expedition TO advance in
chihuahua would be met by force.
He said:
In the last note forwarded 10
the An. erican government it was
declared that if new expedition
should cross into Mexico Or if the
expedition now in chihuahua should
attempt to advance, it would be
repulsed by force.
"The American government,
probably to test the truth of this as
sertioa, moved column and caused
the punitive expedition to advance.
The Constitutionalist soldiers, full
filling their duty, repulsed the
Americans
"Before leading the country into
a bloody war the government de-
sires to exhaust all means for a
peaceful solution which shall not
conflict with the national honor"
General Carranza explained the
failure to publish in Mexico the re-
cent note from the United States
by saying:
eff the note has not been pub
lished it is because of the fact that
it is more than reply to our note;
it is a series of charges. Rectifca
tions in the statements made in
the note are being prepared, so that
both documents may be given to
the public at the same time"
Carranza exhorted the young men
to maintain their enthusiasm by
military preparation.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-With
the delivery in Washington of the
latest Carranza note reported as an
evasion of Wilson'S demands on
Mexico, and containing counter de-
mands, the Mexican situation will
come before Congress if the Presi-
dent stands firm on his position of
the past few days.
Carranza's reply is reported to
demand release of Mexican prison
ers on American soil, and the lifting
of embargo on shipments of sup
plies into Mexico.
Wilson has his message to Con-
gress ready: Congress has prepared
the tentative draft of a measure
tantamount to declaration of in
PREVENTION and war Final action
may come today or tomorrow.
The captive members of the
Tenth Cavalry remain in the Chi
huahua penitentiary.
One Of the most significant feat
ures of the day is the fact that
censorship has been clamped tightly
on all military news from the bor-
der, indicating military movements
of the utmost secrecy.

club house and grounds to be found in
Wisconsin. The option that has been
taken by the committee includes the
purchase of the old switch track on
Chicago street and this will of course be
removed just as soon as the new build
ing is completed.
Every member of the lodge has been
urged to attend the meeting on Thurs
day night in order that the committee
may be given full authority to proceed
with the plan. If the plan fails to meet
the approval of the lodge the committee
will at once make some other plan.
The financial problem in connection
with the big building is now well under
way. Nearly every member of the
lodge has made some contribution to
the fund and there will be no call for
more funds at the meeting on Thurs
day night. The committee feels as
sured that when the few Elks who have
not signified willingness to take stock
have been seen that there will be only
a small bond issue necessary to carry
out the plans of the committee.

HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.
Kenosha Building and Loan Association
Holds Annual Meeting on Tues
day Night.

To encourage the building of homes
and the final ownership of same by
making monthly payments is the OBJ
ject and purpose of the Kenosha County
Building and Investment Association.
President Mccall in his address to
the stockholders at their annual meet
ing on Tuesday, set forth the necessity
of having more homes in Kenosha. He
called attention to the fact that great
many skilled workmen and Others had
accepted positions in Kenosha, but later
on were compelled to leave the city for
the reason that they could not find suit
able places for their families to live in.
For this reason he urged all the mem
bers to make special effort to increase
the membership Of the Association, and
in this manner help solve the problem
OF getting more homes built in the city.
The report of the Officers for the
past year showed that the Association
had made good progress in securing new
members and that stock had been issued
w "AS "AhoullO VI P0O3ooU3 Uub Gudt HOJ-
withstanding this fact, the demand on
the Association for money to help people
build was more than the Association
was able to take care of.
One good feature about the Associa-
tion is that while it helps the individual
member to save and be thrifty, the cv-
erage amount invested by each member
being $521.00, it also helps every citi-
zen of the city, be he a merchant, manu-
acturer, laborer, or professional man,
as all the money invested with the AS
ISOLATION is expended in the city in the
building of homes or in supplying some
need of the home.
Albert J. Tanck, Chas. F. Boerner.
Geo. w. Anderson and VIM H. Parry.
Jr., were elected directors for term of
three years.
The members present were enthusi,
astic and left the meeting with the, de-
termination to tell their friends of the
great work being done by the Associa-
tion in the up-building of our city of
Kenosha.

START HIGH SCHOOL MONDAY
j. 3. Maloney, Former County Supt.,
Ready to Take Charge of Summer
Graded School if Sufficient Number
of Students Seek Admission.

Plans for summer school for pupils
of the grade schools in Kenosha were
discussed informally at meeting at
the superintendent 5 office this morn
ing and if a sufficient number of stu
dents can be secured a school will be
opened under the permission of the
Board of Education on Monday, July
10th. 1t will be located in one of the
regular school buildings, the building
to be selected to accommodate the ma
jority of the students who show de-
sire to take further school work dur
ing the summer. John B. Maloney of
the commercial department of the High
School and teacher long interested in
the grade work of the schools of the
county, will superintendent the activi-
ties of the summer session and the
number of teachers to be employed
will be determined by the number of
students. Several of the best known
teachers of the city have volunteered
thier services for work during the sum-
mer session if there is a demand for
them 1t is planned to continue the
summer sessions for term of six weeks.
IF the school is opened = said Mr..
Maloney this morning, it must be un-
der the authority of the Board of Edu-
cation, but we feel certain that the
board viii be willing to grant this
authority. The summer school would
be not only for children of the grades

NEW WAREHOUSE AT VIZ xEGAN
Hill Steamboat Company Offers South
ern Neighbor Twenty Thousand
Dollar Improvement.

The Hill Steamboat Company Of Ke-
nosha has made a proposition to the
commission governing Waukegan of
fering to erect in that city a modern
warehouse to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000 in return for the use Of dock
site at reasonable rent for a term
of twenty years with the understanding
that at the end of the term of years the
warehouse viii become the property of
the city of Waukegan. The company
has offered fee of $500 as the annual

the proposition will be accepted by the
city of Waukegan.

up back work in order to maintain
their standing in the classes, but also
for those who believe that the summer
session will make it possible for them
to complete the school course in a short
er time. The work will be open for all
grades of the city schools and along
identical lines taught during the reg
ular school year. What we want to
know is how many students we can
count on for such school session.
The summer school was maintained
under the authority Of the Board of
Education in 1915 and there was a
total of ffty-fve students registered.
It is thought that at least this num-
Der will be needed this year to make
the plan a success.
At the High School the regular sum
mer session will be started on next
Monday morning and it will be in
charge of Principal George N. Tremper.
The regular work of the High School
will be offered to students in this
school and it is expected that there
will be a considerable enrolment.
The summer schools have in past
years offered a chance for students to
take up added lines of worl and many
students have found them most profit
able and beneficial Small fees are
charged for tuition in these schools,
but the fees are so small as to make
them nothing more than nominal fees.
