TEST INTERURBAl.
War Department Has Trip Over the
Chicago and Milwaukee and Aurora
Lines to Show Speed of Cars.

Chicago and Milwaukee and Aurora
Lines to Show Speed of Cars.
To test the availability for national
defense of the network of interurban
lines in this part Of the country, 8
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee
Electric car was run to Aurora on Sat.
urday, passing over the loop in Chicago
and thence to Aurora. The car, in
charge of Milwaukee road crew with
an Aurora, Elgin and Chicago pilot
arrived at Aurora at noon. The one
hundred and fifty mile trip was made
in four hours without any particular
excitement, The crew started the re
turn journey to Milwaukee via Whea
ton shortly before one o'clock. A
similar test will be made with an A.
E. and G. car in the near future. The
central division of the war department
asked that the test be made in order
to determine the value of the interur-
ban lines in case Of war. The net
work of interurban roads extending
over the Fox river valley will make
an admirable transportation unit in
times of need. The test Friday show
ed that the Milwaukee cars may run
over the T. E. and G. lines without
difficulty. The A. E. and c. traffic
men expect that their car will be
similarly successful.

It is to be hoped that the blushing
bride and the chivalrous groom of the
recent public wedding were properly
imbued with the solemnity of the wed
ding service. Some times these things
are overlooked when the reading of the
service is attended with chorus of
player pianos and monographs. So fan
as the state is concerned, the ceremony
is just as binding as if there was just
tive witnesses present.

Let the police pension fund alone.
It is one fund that has only small
and somewhat uncertain income and
there is no use to pass another law
which viii take away what little it has.
Dog license fees are just as good to
take care of retired police officers as to
retire some of the bills of the city.

The highest tribute that any one has
ever paid to George Washington, whose
birthday we celebrate tomorrow was
the declaration that he was E'The
First American Gentleman This
means almost as much as to have been
" First in War; and it probably con
tributed much toward making him
First in the Hearts of His Country
men," To be a true gentleman is one
of the greatest lessons that we can
gather from the life of Washington.

General Funston may have been a
Esoldier of fortunen and not skilled
In the arts Of war, but when the real
achievements of the American arms is
written his name win appear right
along at the top of the list with Sher-
man and Grant. He was real soldier
and always did his duty as a soldier
and that is the reason that the
entire nation lays laurel wreath on
his bier today.

DIR. Grayson is still waiting for his
commission as an admiral. 1t seems
that the United States senate is of the
opinion that even in case of war the
doctor might be needed more to direct
social affairs in Washington than to di-
rect the navy. At any rate, he has not
been jumped over all the old timers yet.

And at that we are inclined to be-
lieve that Kenosha should get about
the best isolation hospital in the state
for the appropriation made by the
council. 1t is to be hoped that ten

contagion that is in the city for a lot
of years. If it does not, it will be
time to look into the makeup of the
health department.

No thank you, we do not want any

We believe that we are able to pay

that the railway company is going to

domination on the newspapers is some
thing that every man who publishes a

Kenosha should have state hygenic
laboratory. We have met the condi-
lions of the state and are entitled to
the proper aid of the state in support

agree with the members of the council
that it is time for the state officials to
come to Kenosha and make the inves-
tigation and then allow the state aid.

Saturday T allks ito Housewives
By Frank Willis Barnett

I went through the markets yester- day.
 I was glad to see that already many had finished with their spring cleaning. Soap and paint has made the wood work clean and the screens will keep out the flies.
 Cleanliness is not only next to god liness, but it pays in dollars and cents. Careful housewives ought to be as particular about the way meats, gro- ceries and vegetables are kept by those they deal with as they are about the cleanliness of their own kitchens. It's all right for the city to have supervision over such matters, but the best way to protect yourself is to per sonally visit the men you trade with.
 
 Now, Pm striving only to get men to advertise on this page who make clean Illness virtue.
  I make it my personal business to in spect the places and to talk with the dealers on the need of getting rid of dirt.
 < #
 If at any time you get any article of food advertised on this page in an un- clean condition, just telephone me and l will give it my personal attention and if the merchant fails to do what is right after proper investigation, will see that his advertisement does not appear on this page.
 * * ;:
 This page is conducted not merely to get the advertising (of course, it helps the paper and we appreciate the business); it is conducted for the further purpose of trying to build up among it's readers a confidence in the men who use it and to assist the women of Birmingham in doing their marketing.

FOR THIRSTY GARDENS
Windmill Plays important Part in
Production of Food.
Lack of Timely Rainfall Is often
Doom of Otherwise Carefully Han.
died and Tended Patch-Con-
serve Water Pumped.

That the farm windmill should play
an important part this year in the
great food-prodUction campaign, is the
belief of H. B. Walker, drainage and
irrigation engineer, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
"The farm windmill should be no
Stacker this year." said Professor
Walker. at should be ready day and
night to absorb the energy Of the wind
to lift water for thirsty gardens. Lack
of timely rainfall is often the doom of
an otherwise carefully handled and
tended vegetable garden.
"This year the farm garden will be
an important factor in reducing the
cost of living. Accordingly, every pre-
caution should be taken to prevent q
failure of the garden crops. In those
areas where the natural rainfall is not
dependable, some simple method of IT.
rigation should be provided"
The farm windmill will serve faith
fully and we'll in lifting water for ir-
rigation if given an opportunity, Pro-
fessor Walker pointed out. This faith
full source of farm power, however, will
not save the garden unless the owner
co-operates in conserving the water
pumped. The average windmill lifts
water internationally and at a slow
rate. Consequently, if the water
pumped is allowed to flow directly onto
the warm, dry soil, a small area only
can be satisfactorily covered. A small
trickling flow does not spread literally
over the surface of the soil, but it per-
colates deeply into the soil beyond the
reach of the shallow-rooted vegetables.
If the water lifted, on the other
hand, is stored in tanks, barrels, or
reservoirs, q volume sufficiently large
can be secured in a surprisingly short
time to effectively irrigate a much
larger area. A barrel of water con
tanning 31k gallons will cover q gar
den bed six feet wide by eight feet
long, one inch deep. A quantity Of
water even as small as this, if properly
applied, will greatly help the lettuce
bed or the shallow-rooted radishes. 1t
is advisable, therefore, to use even
an ordinary barrel for storage, if moth
ing larger is available, in preference to
direct pumping.
A reservoir sufficiently large to hold
all Of the water the average windmill
can pump in three or four days Is
much more desirable: ~:
