TRUCK DRIVER IS BLAMED
A. e. Kolpin, at Wheel of Overturned
Touring Car, Hemmed in at Corner by
Heavy Truck, Driven on Left Side
of Street, Tuesday Afternoon.

A wrecked Overland car, with one of
its occupants suffering with a broken
nose and broken rib, was the result of
an automobile collision at the corner of
Division street and Linden Court when
Armour Truck No. crashed into the
touring car occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
A. j. Kolpin of Grand Avenue, about
one-thirty Tuesday afternoon. AS a
result of the collision, Mrs. Kolpin, who
was the most seriously injured, was ia
ken Immediately to her home where
her injuries required the attention of
physicians. Her condition today is
reported as improving.
The story of the collision as narrated
by Mr.. Kolpin, who was at the wheel
of the smaller car, and substantiated by
onlookers, places the blame upon the
driver of the truck, who gave his name
as Nelson. Prior to the accident Kol-
pin had trailed the truck for two
squares, constantly warning the driver
that he wished to pass him. The truck
driver persisted on staying on the ex-
IRENE left side of the road, making it
impossible to pass him on his right. All
attempts on the part of Kolpin to at
tract the attention of the driver of the
truck were futile although there was a
man riding in the rear of the truck
who laughed at all of the attempts of
the smaller car to pass but made no
move to inform the driver that he
should pull over to give half of the
street. When the touring car attempt
ed to pass the truck at the corner of
Linden court, Nelson, evidently ignor-
ant of the presence Of the car, swung
around to make the turn north and
struck the smaller car with all force.
The wheels of the Overland collapsed
under the weight of the truck and the
wonder was that so little injury was
inflicted upon the occupants. Nelson
willingly gave his name and the num-
Der of his car, together with the address
which would help in settling the affair
but offered no excuse for his actions.
Shortly after the accident A. j.
Kolpin too ka photograph of the de-
molished car and with this as evidence
reported the affair to the local police
and to the authorities of the Armour
company. A representative Of the
company, was in Kenosha this morning
and indicated that the blame for the
accident seemed to fall upon their
driver and that consequently the com
pany would tako steps to make good
the damage suffered by the local man.
From the testimony of the few who
saw the collision it appears that both
cars were within the speed limits,
neither going more than ten miles an
hour, and that the question is wholly
one of right of way. On-l~okers in
sist on generating Kolpin on the
grounds that he took the only course
left to him when Nelson persisted in
holding blocked the entire left side of
the street.

Plant At Once.

ton of a large addition to the plant of
the Cooper Underwear Company and

brick and steel so x 101 feet and five
stories in height. 1t will contain $4,000
spare feet of floor space and it is ex-
pected that the work of construction
will be rushed. The rapid increase in
the business of the company has de-
manded increased manufacturing facili-
ties. The new addition will follow
other buildings of the company and It
will offer the last word in providing
for the comfort of the employees of the
company. The cost of the new building

Policeman, Borden
Has High Score
Leads List of Police Ofhcers With
Score of Five Dogs Slaughtered
on Tuesday Afternoon.

Tony Borden has the distinction of
heading the Roll of Honor of the
police department this morning with
credit Tor the slaughter of five I'M
muzzled dogs on Tuesday afternoon.
This was just half the number to fall
before the gnnners of the police de-
partment in the general crusade for
extinction. Officers Kautenberg and
Clausen were tied for second place
with two dog sealps each and Amber
lang came along with one mark to his
credit. According to the police, people
are tieing the dogs up or sending them
to the country and the number un-
muzzled dogs running the streets of
the city is decidedly small The rain
which fell today made the hunt for I'M
muzzled dogs unpopular with the po-
lice officers, but the general slaughter
is to be on again just as soon as the
rain stops.

There was most interesting meet.
ing of the Kenosha County Council of
Defense at Salem under the leadership
of Mr.. Richards, our county agricul-
tural' agent, Monday evening. We of
the country, were glad to see present
the genia2 faces of many of the bust
ness men of Kenosha, and appreciated
fully the additions to the program bv
Kenosha talent. The Synco-Pep or
ehestra certainly gave pep to the
occasion. Agent Richards made one
of his characteristic speeches, a straight
from the shoulder series of hits. He
is all right; he is getting them to sit
up and take notice; getting things
under discussion.
Nothing comes without agitation, and
while the agitator usually comes in FOR
a genuine share of criticism, he usual
y wins out; or at least, has the cour-
age of his ideas, when his ideas are
correct. He was followed by Richard
Kaiser of the Chamber of Commerce.
who brought forward the idea of put
ting in bookkeeping on the farm, in
order to get the cost of production;
also of a community center'' in each
township. Kenosha county has frater-
nal organizations and insurance socie-
ties by the score-but not one devoted
to the farming interests of the county.
Ad it is to be noted that those eoun-
ties which are the most progressive are
full of them. Note Walworth, for ex-
ample, and those fellows have got the
money too. It's time we took
off the binders.
Mr. Kaiser also held out a glimmer
of local market place and storage
plant in Kenosha. Now, if you fellows
want the country trade, that is what
IS up to you. AS one little instance:
" John" loaded up load of oats, not
long ago, and took them to town, his
county seat. He travelled many
weary mile; and then, he hawked those
oats from Salem avenue to the shores
of Lake Michigan for purchaser.
One prominent merchant on Main
street offered a price below market
value, with the added 81 suppose you
want this money to send to NJ.
W........." I won't tell you what
farmer John said; it is represented in
blanks. Now, we have city people
come out to our farms to buy good
eggs. One customer told me that of
the last "strictly fresh dozen he
purchased from the local grocery, four
had the yolks dried to the shell. So
!" Mary took in one case of guaran-
teed eggs and I am quite sure Mary
was thinking of a hat or other feminine
hxlng at K.s.... or Co.. IS. Those
eggs went to more places than I can
take time to mention, and she was of
fered less than she could get 1T her
home general store; and finally by good
luck, a restaurant took them for lust
what she could get at home. Kenosha
county people are glad to trade in Ke-
nosha but You have got to get busy
and trade with us. If our money goes
to Chicago, that is where the most of
it comes from.
