MARRIED TO kEN0sHA GIRL
Man, One of Kaiser's Sailors, Still
Watched by Government Officials
Has No Intention of Returning to
Home May Stop Naturalization.

Henry Kueck, twenty-three years of
age, interned German sailor and a ward
of the United States government until
the END of the war with Germany,
wants to get rid of espionage and trou
BILE. He wants to be citizen of the
United States and to this end he has
appeared in the Office of the clerk of
the Circuit Court here and holding up
his right hand he renowned his allie
glance to Kaiser Wilhelm and all other
potentates and declared his willingness
to support the United States. He is
even willing to fight for the nation if
his services are necessary and as a
first paper0 citizen he will be
subject to the draft for the army to
be made in few weeks.
Kueck first saw the shores of the
United States little over two years
ago when the German steamer Rhine
on which he was employed as one of
the members of the crew, limped into
the harbor at Baltimore. A few DAYS
later the steamer and the crew were
interned by orders Of federal officers
and since that time Kueck has been
under the surveillance of the United
States government. He worked in Bal
timore for year and then he drifted
out to Kenosha. Records in the Office
of the register of deeds show that ro-
nance marched with him into Kenosha
and on the first day of this year he
was married by the Rev. A. G. Keyser
of this city to Miss Teckla Brach of
Kenosha. They took up their home
over on Lemon street and later on
Kueck decided that if he had an
American wife the next best thing he
could do was to be an American citi-
zen. The care that the government has
taken to keep in close touch with the
movements of Kueck has not been Of
fensive and with his declaration Of his
intention to become a citizen Of the
United States it is expected that his
surveillance will be withdrawn
Clerk of the Circuit Court DeDiemar
has asked Judge Belden of the Circuit
Court to make some ruling in regard to
the naturalization of German born
residents Of the country. He holds
that there is a constitutional provision
against naturalizing "alien enemies, =
but he is not certain that Kueck, who
had before the war declared his inten-
tion Of becoming a citizen, may be CON
sidered an "alien enemy" Many
German born residents are anxious to
become full citizens and the applica
tions of all Of these people for second
naners are being considered

Chicago Jurist
Makes No bubble
UP His Money When Arrested
on Speeding Charge.

Judge Ewing of Chicago, believes in
the majesty of the law. He proved his
belief late Saturday afternoon when he
went tearing along the north Lake
Shore Road with Motorcycle Deputy
Brankow tearing along behind him. It
did not take the deputy long to out
run the Chicago judge and when he
commanded halt the judge promptly
obeyed the order. He seemed to know
just what was happening. AS Brankow
pulled out the book and got ready to
write ne spoke up promptly, " Judge
Ewing, Chicago, ILL.,, and how much?''
Brankow calmly replied that he would
not raise the rate on account of the
fact that his prisoner was a judge and
he put the bond at twenty-five dollars.
The judge pulled out his roll and peeled
off two tens and a five and then he
said, Here is an extra dollar for you
to render me little service. Just 90
into court tomorrow and plead guilty
for me and send the change down to
my court in Chicago Judge Randall
will have a chance to show the profess
sional courtesy some time late this af
ternoon when he takes up the cases of
speeders. 1t has not been the rule to
recognize the profession in the
speeder's court and it is probable that
Judge Ewing and J. Barker, also of
Chicago, who was arrested at the same
time, will be assessed the same fine
+" He was perfect gentleman as
serted Brankow when he made the re-
port of the case. "He yer suggested
for minute that I was all off in meas
uring the speed that he was going but
he simply wanted to pay. Of course
there was nothing to do but take his
money, but then he was a judge and
if | hadn t my orders i might have
told him to run along and try his
cases. {"

MAKE PATRIOTIC GIFTS.
Kenosha Shows Real Patriotism in
Opening its Purse Strings for
War Heroes.

Capt. Coney recently made captain
of the cavalry company, has been pre-
sented by other members of the Nash
Motors Company, not as a corporation,
but as individuals, each anxious to do
their bit for the government, with d
fund of 81, 1000 to be used for his per-
sonal equipment. As it is necessary
for each officer to provide his own
horse, his uniforms, his sabre, and 9th
er arms also to pay his own board or
mess" bill, and to pay for the
except of his horse, the officers really
have less of salary clear at the end
of the month than do the privates.
Capt. Coney's first lieutenant, Lieut..
Steinert, was treated In similarly
generous manner by the employees of
the American Brass Company, they
having raised $3.50 for his equipment.
With the present exorbitant cost of
food and of feed for the horses the
officers will in many instances find it
hard to live up to the government re-
quirements without aid from their pri-
vate purses or by the contributions of
patriotic citizens as in the present
cases.

which means great deal in money
beside the large amount of work en-

EAT PLENTY OF POTATOES

"Now that the country's bumper
potato crop is flowing into markets in
an everincreasing stream the wise
housewife will take advantage of this
cheap source Of starchy food and will
give the tubers a place on the dinner
tableSN says the horse eoonemjcs
cialist Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
1t is we'll known that potatoes are
a nutritious and healthful food, Of
which one may eat freely without i'll
effects. AS a matter of fact, say the
department specialists, there is some
thing more which can be said for the
potato, for liberal consumption of them
helps to supply the body with alkaline
salts which it needs for normal health,
Eat more potatoes for breakfast, lunch
dinner or supper, therefore, while
they are abundant, say the specialists
to the advantage of both your health
and your pocketbook.

THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN.

Not enough attention has been paid
to the Federal Farm Loan system
which is nov being put into operation.
The farmers have been somewhat slow
to take advantage of the new law be-
cause they have not been conscious of
its advantages, nor have they been or
ganized along lines which have made
it easy for them to take up this new
form of cooperation. But the tide of
indifference has turned and loans are
being made. About twenty-five new
associations are being formed daily.
In the debate over the bill in con-
gress it was estimated that farm mort
cages to the extent of nearly $4,000
000, 10000 were being carried a an
average rate Of IA per cent. The
Federal Farm Loan banks are loaning
at 5 per cent. SO if these mortgages
the transferred to the land banks,
there will be a big saving in interest
to the farmers.
It's up to the farmers to take adj
vantage of this new system. They are
already reaping some benefit IA
lowered interest rates at banks and
loan agencies, but they can get more
direct benefit by transferring their
loans to the Federal Land banks.
