ing feature of the meeting, and the
enthusiasm with which the vast au-
dience OF solid. rejecting citizens
applauded the speakers powerful APP
peals for seIf-reliance on the part of
the Georgia farmers in this crucial
hour gave convincing evidence that
his sledge hammer logic drove home
the facts.
There was no phase of the work
which was not covered in substantial
outline, the charm of the speakers

his arguments, and today as they cir

feet are aflame with zeal to carry
out the great project of increasing
and conserving our food supply.
with a simplicity that child might
have understood. he showed exactly
what had to be done to make Georgia
self-supportiDg and to come into that
heritage of lasting prosperity which
we should have laid hold upon long
ago.
One of the outstanding features Of
his address was his appeal to the bus
mess man as well as to the farmer.
Dr. S0ulc repealed the insinuation 30
often cast upon the farmer that he
was shiftless and unprogressive. He
insisted, on the contrary, that if the
farmer were given the facilities for
marketing his corn and wheat and
potatoes his hogs and his live stock
and the dozens of other commodities
OF which our people stand in need,
the farmer would respond gladly and
whole hcartedly to the appeal for di-
versifcation.
TO do this, however, he must have
the cooperation of the bankers and
the business men. He must have
credit based upon something besides
cotton, with ample market facilities.
The speaker pointed out how profit
able sweet potatoes, for example,
would be when the average crop was
not less than eighty bushels to the
acre, with possibilities of two hun
dred bushels. Selling as they are at
fifty cents a peck in the Macon mar.
ket, the margin OF profit is obvious.
And yet the cold fact remains that
In the past, because Of lack of or
ganization and conservation, the far
mer who ventures to raise big crop
of sweet potatoes has found that thoy
were drug on the market.
The crime OF wastage was force
fully illustrated by the fact that in
converting wheat into flour. nearly
third of the most nutritious part OF
the grain is literally thrown away,
BY using the whole wheat and effect
ing this saving, the problem of wheat
shortage would be solved at a stroke.
These are but 1.-THE of tho impor-
tant truths developed by DR.. Souic
and the other distinguished speakers.
They gave food for thought to the
twelve hundred delegates from every
county in the state who, we feel con
fdcnt. will spread the gospel of in
| creased production and conservation
among their fellow citizens hereafter
in way which has never been un,
dertaken before.

BROKEN QUARANTINE
GETS FINE In COURT
italian Who Went to Work from Quar-
rantined Home Said He Did Not
Understand the Law.

Dominick Console, living at 1916
Market street, was brought before
Judge Randall in the Municipal Court
on Tuesday afternoon and fined ten
dollars and the costs of the action af-
ter he had entered a plea of guilty to
charges of violating quarantine regula-
tions. One of the seven children of
Console is i'll with diphtheria and re-
CARELESS of this fact he was charged
with having left his home regularly and
gone to work at one of the factories in
the city. Console had a hard luck
story. He declared that the expenses
of quarantine were heavy and that he
was forced to work in order to be able
to meet them. He also said that he
did not know that the law prevented
his going to work. Judge Randall adj
vised the man that he must have all
of his clothing fumigated and that he
must keep away from the house until
the quarantine was lifted or keep
away from the factory. The police Of
ficers and officials of the health depart
ment have been instructed to arrest
every violator of quarantine.

"WIN THE WAR"
HITS FREE LUNCH
Council of Defense Notifies Saloon Men
That Meat Must Not be Served
on Meatless Days.

The "Win tie War ~ Conserving
the Food" campaign hit the saloons to-
day when the secretary of the County
Council of Defense sent letters to all
saloon men in the city warning them
against serving meat as free lunch in
the saloons on "meatless days. and
against serving any wheat bread or
crackers made of wheat flour on
wheatless days" In the government
classification saloons fall under the
heading "hotels" and they are sub
ject to the same regulations. Should
local saloon men refuse to obey the
order of the council an immediate APP
peal will be made to the government
for the closing of the places until af-
ter the war is over. Most saloon men
in the city declared that they were not
effected by the order, on account of the
fact that they had eliminate the sefT-
ing of free lunches some time ago. It
is declared that few of the saloons
have openly refused to quit serving
meat on meatless days. The County
Council of Defense is planning to make
an immediate report to the government
of all violations of the regulations.

GET MORE THAN 100000
FROM CITY TAX BILLS
Early Tax Papers Give Assurance That
the City Will be Tided Over
Any Financial Stringency.

There are a lot of civic patriots IN
Kenosha for today the city treasurer IS
Office announced that the city had col
lected 1901 900 of the new city tax
levy and that assurance had come that
more money was coming in rapidly.
The American Brass Company is en-
titled to especial mention for this great
company this morning sent to the city
treasurer a draft for $3.50, $500 to pay
the tax bill of the company to the city.
This was a big help in meeting all de-
mands. The Simmons Company was
not far behind and it sent in a check
for $4,000 with the understanding
that other checks will follow just as
soon as the full tax bill of that com
pany can be checked up. With the
usual number of early tax payers
among the private citizens it seems
certain that Kenosha will get more
than quarter of million dollars in
taxes before Christmas.

NO MUNICIPAL XMAS TREE.

Kenosha is not going to have a
Municipal Christmas tree this year.
Municipal Christmas trees are not in
style this year for with the nation at
war patriotic people all over the
country have heard the call to save
unnecessary expense and the men and
women who have had charge of the
work of arranging the Municipal Xmas
in Kenosha in other years, arc in cor
dial touch with this movement. It
would cost several hundred dollars to
set up a municipal tree and keep it
lighted during the holiday season.
This money may be better used by the
Red Cross and other relief organiza-
tions and Kenosha has been most lib
eraI in contributing to all of these
funds. In keeping with the same idea
holiday decorations of the streets were
eliminated this year.

CAPS AND COMMENTS
FOR CONTEMPORARIES
tFair- Collectors For Improved Car

instructions For New Work.


Line Receive Helmets and First
Instructions For New Work.
The officers Of the Wisconsin Gas
Electric Company became temporarily
training school for conductorettes on
Tuesday afternoon, when nine of the
Hfair-collectors received caps and
first instructions in conductoring from
FL. G.. Timme, Superintendent of Trans
portation for the firm. Everyone Of
the class had been found physically
fit - for service and was anxious to don
the uniform which would make her a
full-fedged conductorette.
"About your uniforms,'' said Mr..
Timme in introducing the work
" You'll have to use your imagination
for a little while until we can take
measurements and have your suits made
to order. We have the caps for you now
and they'll be enough to distinguish
you from other women on the car I'M
til we get the rest of the uniforms. y
Incidentally the caps were distinct
i've. Made from "mauve I've think
that's what is was corduroy they had
both style and snap and consequently
appealed strongly to the minds of dis
eliminating women. In very few
minutes they had been distributed, tried
on, and approved, and the class was
ready for further instruction in the
intricacies of signals, switches-the
kind they have on car-tracks and
transfers.
"Speaking of common sense'', de-
clared Professor Timme this morn
ing, "why those women have got the
men beat forty ways Tor Sunday. They
took to the practical side of it just
like a duck to water In less than
nothing they knew all there is to know
about the inside of conductoring and
could say fare please in voice that
would bring mans last cent and
a smile with it. Take it from me,
they're there and they re going to be
a real asset to the new service. -
The theoretical work of Tuesday
afternoon was supplemented today by
a. little practical service ON some of
the routes in the city. With caps and
bells--the one on their heal, the other
on the street car-the conduetorettes
collected fares like veterans and gave
promise of a rare efficiency in the stwar-
work" assigned to them.

Budapest Seek
independence for
Hungary.
(By United Pressl

The Hague, Dec. 19-The NUM-
cipality of Budapest has unanimous
" adopted resolutions urging the
government to prepare for com
plete separation of Hungary from
Austria, according to the Cologne
Gazette received today. The reso-
lutions, it stated, assert that the
emperor as representative of the
Hapsburg House, should be the
sole bond of unity between the two
empires. The Hungarians infer
that German interests are para
mount at Vienna and that the Sla-
vic portion of the Dual Monarchy
is not in sympathy with the PAN
Teutonic program of Kaiser Viii
helm and his militaristic aids. The
action of the Budapest municipali-
ty becomes, then, an anti German
move that will cause no little dis
quietude at Berlin. The Hohen-
zollerns are frankly worried by the
demands of Hungary inasmueh as
they present serious interference
with their plan to control central
Europe and the country to the
southeast as far as Bagdad. Con-
sequently both Germany and Aus
tria are .feverishly awaiting the
reception of the news of the ac-
ton of Budapest in the various
parts of the Dual Monarchy.

CONSIDER CLEVELAND PLAN
Ohio City Asks for Contributions of 81
Each Week. int Committees Will
Meet After Holidays for Start of
Work - Kenosha Method Leads,

Milwaukee has the honor of being
the first metropolis to consider the
adoption of the "Kenosha Plan for
war relief The leading commercial
organizations of the premier city of
Wisconsin and the Rotary Club of that
city have appointed committees to in
vestigate the Kenosha Plan and action
on their reports will be taken after
the Christmas vacation. Should the
plan be adopted in Milwaukee as seems
entirely probable now, it will be a
great . feather in the cap of Kenosha Y
and will no doubt lead to greater pub
LEFTY for the plan which has made
Kenosha very efficient and Cup
tothe-minute - when it came to war
time relief
The idea of centrahzing the various
war relief funds in Milwaukee, as it
is done in Kenosha, into the control Of
one organization or management will
be considered by joint committee
appointed by the Milwaukee Chamber
of Commerce; the Association of Com
merce and the Rotary Club This joint
committee will meet directly after the
holidays and viii staidy the desirability
as well as the feasibility of such
q plan for one general war relief fund
and centralized campaign movement.
Two plans are now being considered
by the Milwaukee business men. The
one is the Kenosha Plan, which is
familiar IN this city and the other is
that adopted first in Cleveland, Ohio,
where each subscriber agreed to give
at least one dollar each week to the
general fund. The system of distribu-
ton of the fund is very much the same
in both plans. The "Cleveland Plan !"
has resulted in raising large funds for
war relief purposes and at the same
time has received business houses and
individuals from repeated canvassing
The Kenosha Plan as it is pointed
out by many Of its Milwaukee sup
porters, has the added advantage of
being more democratic and offering a
plan whereby each, rich or poor, may
ease his or her conscience by doing his
" bit. y According to report, the
I" Kenosha Plan" is very much the
favorite among the members of the
committee and it is altogether posi-
bic that Milwaukee will soon be fol
lowing in the train of Kenosha
The Milwaukee committee has already
agreed on the following of the Keno
sha Plan in regard to the Liberty Loan
campaigns. In a recent interview,
one of the leaders Of the movement
in Milwaukee, said:
9 In any event, succeeding Liberty
bond campaigns would not come with
in the province of such a campaign
committee. In the first place the buy
ing of Liberty bonds is regarded as
an investment and not as a donation
and in the second place the Liberty
bond campaign organization is intact
and will bring to the next campaign
the experience accumulated in past
campaigns and no new organization
could hope to better its record
