Little Joe Sobolowski. the nine-year-

was arrested late Friday afternoon on
the customary charge of burglary after
he had entered the home of Captain
w j. Barnett ON Middle street, ON
Washington Island. Little joe evil
IDENTIFY thought that the Barnett house
was empty and he was just making an
examination of the rooms when Captain
Barnett awakened from his afternoon
nap looked him over. Joe had the
usual number of sobs and the Captain
called the police. Some time ago after
it had been shown that the boy had a
tendency for burglaries an effort was
made to have him sent to the home of
the feeble minded at Chippewa Falls
but Judge Taylor in the County court
held that he was not feeble minded
but decidedly bright along certain lines.
1t is probable that he viii be sent
to the Waukesha School for Boys. The
boy has been in the hands of the police
many times and relatives seem to be
able to do nothing with him.

TRAINING SCHOOL INCREASES.
Late Catalogue of Racine County
Training School for Teachers Evi-
dences Worth of Institution.

The Racine County Training School
for Teachers has just issued its sec
ond annual catalogue, and a survey OF
it's contents discloses substantial I'M
provements to keep pace with the rath-
er phenomenal growth and success of
this school, During the first year OF
| this school s history, the enrolment
and interest taken exceeded the most
| sanguine expectations of its friends at
the time of its establishment by the
county board Because of this, the
training school board has found it nee
essary to add a third teacher to the
faculty and to secure q third room IN
which to hold sessions for observations
and practice teaching by the student
teachers. This third room has been
generously rendered free of charge,
heated and janitored, by the village
of Union Grove. The state graded
school at that place, heretofore under
the instruction and supervision of four
teachers will continue its sessions in
the same building Miss LorettO
Clark, of Milwaukee, has been selected
by the training school board to take
charge of this new department and she
will assume her duties when school
opens in September, Some 81 pupils
have already been enrolled, represent
inc grades to 6 and the scheme is to
have this school so conducted that 1t
will serve to illustrate practical and
efficient methods of instruction.
Training school opens this year on
Tuesday, September 4, and will remain
in session for approximately forty
weeks. The school year is divided
into four quarters of ten weeks each,
the course of study being outlined on
that plan. The course is given as two
wears for those who are not high school
graduates. A new law, chapter 269,
Laws of 1917, has determined that aft
err Sept. l, 1919, all applicants for
county certificates must have had at
least two years of high school work
and after Sept. l, 1921, they must have
completed full four years of high school
work or its equivalent. This means
that this is the last year those without
high school training can enter training
school to qualify for teaching. Here
after two years of such work will be
required until four years from now
when none but high school graduates
will be accepted by training or normal
schools. Those contemplating taking
up the teaching profession should bear
this in mind and enroll in high school
Immediately upon graduation from the
eighth grade.
OF the sixteen graduates who made
up the initial class from the school III
1917, all have secured excellent posi-
tions. The salaries paid them range
from $50 to $55. We are informed
that double the number could have Sc
cured positions hence there seems to
be no question of employment for
those attending to worry over. An en-
rollment blank is included with each
catalogue and we understand many of
these have already been filled out and
sent in for next year. Names now IN
represent Racine, Waterford, and Bur
lington high schools which indicates
wide interest and tendency to
take advantage Of this institution
which has come to stay.

Industrial Board Asks City
to Raise This Sum for
Vocational Schools
for Coming Year.
MUST MEET NEW DEMANDS

Lynn [. Hannahs, president Of the
Kenosha Industrial Board of Education
has filed with the city clerk the annual
budget of the board for the coming
year. The estimated cost of operating
the industrial schools for the new year
is $27,795.02 and of this amount the
city of Kenosha has been asked to
raise $4,000. This is $4,000 more than
the budget sent to the city officials a
year ago, but it is declared by the
officers of the industrial board that the
new state law extending this class of
education will make many new demands
on the board for the coming year. 1t
is expected that these schools in Ke-
nosha will receive state aid in the sum
of $4,000. The big item Of. expense for
the coming year is the item of $4,000
to pay the salaries Of teachers. Only
$500 is asked for to be used for the
purchase of land or the erection Of
buildings. The formal communication
of the industrial board to the mayor
and the council follows
Kcnosha, Wis, Aug. End, 1917.
To the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council of the City of Kenosha, Wis.
Gentlemen
The Board of Industrial Education of
the City of Kenosha, hereby certifes
to Your Honorable Body, that the said
board, at regular meeting held at the
City Hall on the first day of August
A. D. 1917 duly considered the require
meIts of the Vocational School for the
ensuing year to comply with recent
legislation, and thereupon determined
that the sum necessary to be raised by
taxation in the City Of Kenosha for
Vocational School purposes for the en-
suing year under the provisions Of
the state law is twenty thousand
0,000.00) dollars.
In consideration of the fact that the
state law now requires all minors be-
tween the ages of fourteen and sixteen
in employment to attend the Vocational
School just twile the length of time as
formerly, we therefore considered that
the following itemized list is a reason
able estimate of the expenditures nces-
sary to carry on the work Of the school
for the ensuing year in compliance
with the present state law:

SEND LETTERS TO FARMERS
Hundreds of Men and Women in County
Are Asked to Bring Truck and Other
Farm Produce to Kenosha- Business
Men In Favor Of the Plan.

August IA is going to be some day in
Kenosha. That is the day that Keno
sha people are going back to the econ
omies of the fathers and the grandmoth-
ers. It's the day that Kenosha house
wives who believe in having good things
on their tables even if they have to in
convenience themselves little are go
ing to put their market baskets on
their arm and go to market. The pub
lie market is going to open that day
and from that day until the people get
tired of it or until the farmers of Ke-
nosha county have nothing more to sell,
there is going to be a public market in
Kenosha every Tuesday, Thursday and
Saturday. The market is going to be
located on Exchange street between Wis
consin and Park street and If effort
counts for anything it is going to be
a great place for the exchange of the
products of the farms of Kenosha coun-
ty for the money of the Kenosha house
wives There is not going to be tel
ephone anywhere in the neighborhood
and nary delivery wagon will be OPP
Grated in connection with it, There is
going to be just one way to buy the
fresh vegetables, fresh dressed and live
chickens and maybe little porker or
two, and that is to go and get it.
Secretary Kaiser, Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, today sent letters to hun
dreds of Kenosha farmers inviting
them to cooperate in the movement to
make the Kenosha Public Market a
success, Returned cards We're enclosed
in the latter and by the first day set
for the market the committee in
charge will be able to say just about
how many farmers will be on hand to
help feed Kenosha. The market plan is
not opposed by the retail merchants of
the city but it has the support of all
Of them. Many of the truck gardeners
about Kenosha, some of whom have
been seeking markets for their products
in Chicago and Milwaukee have already
declared that they will be in Kenosha
for the opening of the market. Just
as soon as it is certain that the COM
mittee in charge is to have the coop
GRAFTON of the truck gardeners the peo-
pie will be urged to give their patron
age to the market. Racine, Milwaukee,
Sheboygan, and many other leading cit
les of Wisconsin have adopted the pub
lie market plan and it is declared that
markets in all of these cities have
proved to be most successful. 1T is pos
sible that before the summer is over
plans will be worked out for the erec-
tion of market house which will make
possible year round market in Keno
sha.
Committees representing both the
Chamber of Commerce and the County
Council of Defense are cooperating on
the plans for the opening and main
tanning of the market. More definite
announcement will be made of the mar
ket later. The hours set for marketing
are from until 10 in the morning.

National Prohibition
Likely to Pass House

Washington, Dec. 10.-A careful
canvass of the House of Representa-
tives with respect to the proposed
constitutional amendments providing
for national prohibition and women
suffrage shows that the prohibition
amendment has a good chance of
passing. The woman suffrage amend
ment will almost certainly be defeat
ed by the almost solid opposition of
the southern Democrats.
A two-thirds vote is required to
pass n constitutional amendment.
There is very large majority in
both houses in favor of prohibition.
1t can pass the House if all the
friends of the proposal are present
and vote.
The judiciary committee of the
House expects to report favorabIy
both the prohibition and woman suf-
fTage resolutions on Tuesday. Pro-
hibition is to be voted upon before
the holidays. The suffrage amend
ment will be disposed of on Janu-
airy s.

u. S. Army Of 1860, 600
Raised From 10000
in 6 Months For War

Albany, Dec. 10.-The State Defense
Council has received from Washing
ton a statement showing what the
United States is doing in the war and
what the people are getting for their
money, and in accordance with the
desire of Governor Whitman makes
1t public, as follows:
The latest official figures put the
number of men in the armies of the
United States at 100000. This is
the force which has grown in eight
months out of an army which on
April 1 numbered only 10000 men.
Most of them are still in the train
ing camps. Many of them are not yet
disciplined troops, fully equipped and
armed for battle. But there they are,
1,36O,OOO of them, already one of the
biggest factors Hindenburg is reck-
oning with for the campaign of 1916.
To lead them there are more than
$4,000 officers. When the graduates
of the second training camp get their
first orders the number will be more
than 1OO.0O0-as many officers as
there Were privates nine months ago.
Or the new American force more
than 100000 men are Regulars. In
all the world only two regular armies
renfain-the American and the Japa-
nese. The others have all been swept
away in the flood of war. When the
first American onslaught takes place
German Landwehr and Landstrum
troops will find themselves opposed
to an army of professional soldiers.
Behind the Regulars are the 400, 900
soldiers of the National Guard, Regu-
lars in experience, many of them,
thanks to our neighbor to the south.
After the Guard come the 100000 men
of the new National Army.
The whole military establishment.
with the Marines and the auxiliary
forces thrown in, numbers 100000.
The expansion that has taken place
is as if Grand Rapids has grown in
eight months to be virtually as big
