FIRST CAR POTATOES
COMING ON TUESDAY
Council OF Defense to Offer Sturgeon
Bay Potatoes at q Dollar and
Quarter a Bushel.

The County Council of Defense has
bought potatoes for Kenosha and an
nouncement is made that the first car
load of the potatoes will reach Kenosha
on Tuesday. IF possible the car will be
spotted on the Malt House switch near
the Flks clubhouse. The potatoes will
be sold at price of $1.25 bushel
with the understanding that not less
than five bushels or more than twenty
bushels will be sold to any one pur-
chaser. No deliveries viii be made. 1t
is claimed that the potatoes will be the
cream Of the offering Of northern Wis
consin and it is expectedsthat they will
find ready sale in the city. A second
car load has been purchased by the
council and it is expected to reach
Kenosha by next Saturday.
1--WE are hopeful that the people of
the city will show their appreciation Of
our efforts to get them cheap potatoes, /"
declared Chairman Sullivan this morn
ing. eff the people want these pota-
toes at the lowest price, we can sell
them and we viii be glad to arrange
for future shipments. It is hard to get
potatoes at the present time and i'm
possible to get them so that they can
be sold at dollar bushel The price
that is quoted for the car coming on
Tuesday is considerably below the pre-
va:ling price in Kenosha.o

Kenosha merchants will be interested
in the attempts being made at Madison
to knock out the trading stamp law
for which they fought 50 hard in the
last legislature and which was fathered
by Assemblyman P. Walter Peterson,
of this city. The local merchants were
pleased with the law and the successful
passage of the measure, and will follow
the attacks upon it with great interest.
Three petitions were filed in the
supreme court, Friday, asking that
body to take direct jurisdiction and
pass upon the constitutionality of the
law. Chisf Justice Winslow assured the
petitioners that the court would give
its reply to the request to accept direct
jurisdiction some time today.
Ex-State Senator George B. Hudnall,
Milwaukee, appeared on behalf of the
petitions. The petitioners are the
Sperry- Hutchinson Co., New York;
Edward Sshuster Co., Milwaukee, and
the Merchandise Bond Co., Milwaukee.
The petitions declare the trading
stamp law is unconstitutional because,
taking effect in January, it will violate
existing contracts; it is unduly restrict
ive;it is in restraint of trade; it pro-
hibits the doing of lawful acts, and
that the penalties are excessive.

BELDEN
EXPLAINS HIS POSITION
Says Consideration of Race for the
Senatorship Is WORTHY of Every
Patriot.

In answer to suggestion of his name
as candidate for the office of United
States Senator to fill the unexpired
term of Paul 0. Husting, Judge E. b.
Belden, of Racine, has given out short
interview which declared that he is
not seeking this office. In his inter-
view he says:
SIT is true that number of Wis
consin s. substantial men have asked
me to consider this matter. / will not
be political seeker or candidate for
being at war is too sacred and our
part of it too great to allow selection
Of the successor TO Senator Husting
to be clouded or controlled by poll
tics No greater issue has ever been
involved in the selection of a repre-
sentative of the people than is now
involved. Political considerations and
self-seeking partisanship should be
wholly eliminated for the common good
Senator Husting proved to be a man
Of native and unwaverirg loyalty and
devotion to country. His plain hon
esty, fearlessnes sand single purpose
placed him high in the esteem of state
and nation.
ellis successor must be of like
character in these respects, one whose
loyalty has not, is not and never can
be undoubted, who is outstanding and
outstanding for fundamental principles
of national honor and, M matter why
we are in this war, will thoughtfully,
periodically and unWaveringly uphold
those in whom the sacred trust of VIM
ming this war as speedily as possible
and with the smallest possible cost OF
life, and who will stand by the presl-
dent to this end without prejudice, poll
ties or any other purpose. Wisconsin
is loyal and has many men of this char
acter and purpose. 1t matters not who
the man is, what his name, where he
lives or with what political party he
has been identified, so long as he an
swer8 to these requirements. / look upon
the selection of senator at this time
much as I look upon selective draft
of our boys to serve in our army.
When the privilege of serving our
country in this great crisis is afforded
one should gladly accept it as duty
and opportunity to serve his country,
not politically, but patriotically and
for no other purpose than his country 8
good. The matter is worthy, in this
sense, of any man s earnest consldera-
tiono

Two hundred dollars took wings and
flew from the wagon of Frank Vischer
Saturday evening according t his COM
plant to the police early in the evening.
Vischer is a peddler and had left his
wagon in front Of the Peterson Bakery
on Elizabeth street, while he went with
in to transact some business. Upon
his return he found that some light
fingered artist had searched the wagon
and taken a roll amounting to more
than 5000. There were number Of
men around the bakery and larger
numbere gathered following the aetec-
ton Of the robbery. Several suspects
were searched by the police but upon
furnishing an indisputable abb as well
as being supported by the fact that no
money was found on them, they were
released. The police have no elew as
to the identity of the thief.

The Man Who sold Over a Million Dol
lars Worth of Bonds and Led
the big Money
Squadron.

in until the three million mark was
passed were responsible for turning the
tide, Mr.. Simmons has given to the coun-
try his two boys--a gift which money
could not buy; he has equipped them
with ambulances and sent them to Eu-
rope to fight for freedom and now he
is supplementing this deed by sending
dollars to back his boys and three hun
dred others from Kenosha, who are
fighting in the trenches
No small part of the glory of the
campaign should be accorded to the
women of the city who under the able
direction of Mrs. l.. M Theirs and Miss
Harriet Balm have helped materially in
oversubscribing Kenosha s quota. Scout
Commissioner Fogwell and Scoutmaster
Father Conway and their hundreds of
scouts are to be commended not only
for the vast amount Of bonds which
they sold but for the willing service
which they performed in the distribu-
tion of propaganda and Liberty Loan
posters. Hundred Of others have glad
ly served and should share in the fame
of Kenosha in being heralded as the
first county of the land.
The campaign has been a peculiar
illustration of the utilization Of every
working force in the city and county
for the attaining of the desired goal.
In factories, schools and churches, every
consideration has been shown the COM
mittee, and the men, women and child
rem have united in urging economy to
help float Kenosha's quota. In every
part of the county meetings have been
held to preach the gospel of the Lib
erty Loan and have helped to show
that Kenosha county from one bound
airy to the other is ready to send it's
dollars to the front. Efficient com
mittees in every township have labored
increasingly and have attained results
which were at first considered impos-
sible. This large support accorded the
movement by the towns and country
side has been one of the pleasant SUR
prises to the committee, which has had
the campaign in charge.
The celebration Saturday evening
was marked with frequent outbursts Of
patriotism as the hand of the clock
was gradually advanced from the maxi
mum allotment of 100000 to the
supersubscription of $3,5Oo,ooo APP
plause greeted the patriotic offerings Of
the Since band as thousands rejoiced
in celebrating the event which in the
words of z. G. Simmons, is another
proof that it is "a great thing to be
citizen Of Kenosha.

Claim Is TGade that the Measure Passed
BY Last General Assembly
Is Unconstitutional.

The Wisconsin supreme court has
authorized the commencement of
suits to test the validity of the
trading stamp law, enacted at the
last session Of the legislature. The
petitioners must file briefs with
the attorney general before Nov. IA,
and the attorney general is given
until Dec. l to file reply briefs.
The case will be argued in Deem

other early hay crops. Hay is scarce
and high priced. So is corn, conse-
quently it is wise to have some hay
produced as early as possible to fur
nish feed for making the crop. A few
acres of spring rye for pasture will
help out also. We are now approach
ing the planting season. and remem-
her the value of making good seed
bed Use the disk and harrow liber-
ally and get the soil thoroughly pull
veriZed before planting. Use a roller
il you have one, and break up the
clods. Clods are worse than rocks.
They are in the way and a nuisance in
the cultivation of a crop, and they sup
ply no plant food whatever. The labor
used in putting in your crop well will
be saved in the cultivation, and the in
creased yield in the fall will cause
you to keep up the practice when you
once begin it. In planting your crops
use the level system on all well drain
ed lands. In wet lands it will be nee
essary to bed your land to afford
drainage and protection against spring
rains, but if not necessary to bed your
land, by all means plant it level, and
cultivate it level. The first few culti-
vations may be deep, but after the
roots form and begin to extend out
into the middles, cultivate shallow, so
you won't break the roots. Remember
that the roots feed the plant, and that
they get the food from the soil in
liquid form. You can see the import
ance of having loose ground at plant
ing time, so that the roots when young
and tender can move out in search of
food and moisture. You can also see
the importance of shallow cultivation
later on, so the roots will not be torn
Up and broken off. Where land does
not drain well, and it is necessary to
bed your land for planting, it is good
policy to make a wide bed wide
enough for two rows. This plan works
well in most instances.
The Legislature has adjourned, but it
passed some good laws for the farm
ers. The Warehouse and Marketing
law is one of the best laws ever pass
ed, and will be of great benefit to the
farmers in its operation | will explain
its operation fully in letter later. The
Fertilizer Inspection law is now being
enforced Our inspectors are now in
the field busy inspecting the ship
ments and taking samples, and our
chemist is busy making analyses. So
far this season we have not found it
necessary to hold up any of the ship
ments. We have analyzed samples
from 125 cars shipped since January
ist, and none have been as much as
three per cent below the guarantee,
while most of them have been little
better than the guarantee.
The legislature reduced the Feed
Inspection Tax and made appropria.
ton for inspectors and analyses. Our
inspectors will be on the road April
1st and will thoroughly cover the state
and protect the consumers against vic,
lations of the law. The Food law is
not as strong as it should be, and we
are limited in our power to restrict
what may be used in the manufacture
of mixed feeds.
