MODELLING FARM LABOR.

The supply of farm labor is one Of
the limiting elements in the production
of food. IF farmer boys enlist and no
plan is devised to replace this labor,
food production will be reduced far be-
low its present low level. Many peo-
pie do not realize that the plan for the
public defense should include definite
a provision for enlistment for food sup
ply as for service at the front. One
half of those applying for enlistment
are rejected as unfit for military serv-
ice and there are two million boys be-
tween the ages of fifteen and nineteen
in the cities and towns not now engag-
ed in productive work which is so vital
to the nation in the present war emerg-
ency. There are three classes of labor
that should be enlisted for food pro-
duction: Men beyond military age;
men of military age, but not accepted
for active military duty; and boys
under age. Some plan should be de-
vised to make use Of the important
labor resource for the production of
food and other necessities. Conrad
shearer, manager of the local free EN-.
ployment bureau, has kindly consented
to list the calls of all farmers for labor
and all applicants for farm labor. 1t
is hoped that in this way a great deal
may be done to get labor for the
farmers of Kenosha county.

TO COUNT NOSES IN KENosHA
Agents of Wright Directory Company
Start Work Making New City Di-
rectorY to be Out in January.

The Wright Directory Company is
counting noses in Kenosha again and
in January of next year a new direc-
tory of the city will be issued by the
company. G. G. Mcdonald, the veteran
in the Kenosha work, is on the Job
again and the company plans to
make an entirely new census of
the people of the city.
With the usual care the preliminary
work is being done. Post cards are
being sent out to discover how many
of the people listed in the old direc-
tory are still living in the city and in
a few days the house to house canvas
will be started. 1t is expected that
the directory will be lot bigger than
any ever issued in Kenosha. When it
comes out in January it is expected
that it will show that Kenosba has
a population considerably over $4,000
This will be the eighth directory to
be issued by the Wright company for
Kenosha and it is certain that the
satisfactory work done by the COM
pany in past years will result in very
large sale for the new volume.

SAYS LEGALITY IN DOUBT
Bond Company Holds County Bonds
Could Not Be Sold Until After Pleas
ant Prairie Bonds Had Been Deliv-
cred and Money In Co. Treasury.

Another spoke was thrown into the
wheel in connection with the completion
of the Sheridan Road through the town
of Pleasant Prairie this morning when
the R. NJ. Grant Company of Chicago,
the successful bidder for the purchase
of the forty-fve thousand dollar bonds
issued by the county to pay the cost of
road building in Pleasant Prairie, sent
a letter to the county clerk directing
him to cancel their bid for the
bonds and return the check which had
been filed with the county.
The company took this action fol
lowing report of the attorneys ex-
aiming the bonds. This report cast a
doubt on the legality of the bonds on
account of the fact that at the time
they were issued the bonds issued by
the town of Pleasant Prairie had not
been formally delivered and the money
raised by their sale turned over to the
county treasurer. Clerk Jones has not
as yet returned the check of the Grant
company and he has asked for an
opinion from District Attorney Peter
Fisher, Jr., and from Attorney Alfred
L. Drury, who is representing the town
of Pleasant Prairie in the matter. The
Pleasant Prairie bonds were sold some
time ago to the First National Bank
of Kenosha, but on. account of legal
entanglements they had not been form
ally turned over at the time the county
bonds were sold. just what effect this
will have on the work on the roads
remains to be seen. The declination
of the Grant company to accept the
bonds, will probably make it necessary
for the county to advertise for new bids
and arrange for later sale of the bonds.
The Pleasant Prairie bonds have now
been delivered and no question could be
raised as to the new issue on the part
Of the county. Money to start the
work in Pleasant Prairie will be avail
able as a result of the bonds sold by
the town and it is thought that this
money would finance the work on all
the roads of the towns for several
months. The Grant company held that
the county bonds were not legally ready
for delivery in the time proposed in the
advertisement for their sale.
Before the meeting of the County
Board, attorneys will have looked care
fully into the matter and it is thought,
if necessary, the members of the board
will be willing to vote new bond issue.

BAUM GETS RECRUITS FOR CAMP.
Old Time Soldier Looking for Men Who
Want to GO to the Officers Re
serve Camp at Ft Sheridan.

These are the days of the military
With recruiting going on for the army
and the navy, Fred II. j. Baum, a
soldier of ripened experience, is doing
recruiting for the officer 3 reserve corps
training camp which is to open at Ft.
Sheridan on May 8th. This service is
one intended especially for the "tired =
business man and it is given as sure
panacea for whatever ails you.
Mr.. Baum is willing and ready to
demonstrate to any one who wants it,
to get into line for government service
just what the camp is for and what it is
going to do for the men who go to it. A
good many thousand men have already
signifed their intention to enlist for the
officers reserve training camps.
There may be real service for lot
of these men later on, but whether they
go into service or not, it will be some
excellent training for them and it is
certain to give them relaxation from
ordinary work which will be so far
ahead of golf and visiting that they
can not fail to enjoy it. If you want
to take a chance at being patriotic in
this manner see Mr.. Baum and get
your name in the pot.

Will STUDY CONDITIONS
No Applications for Position Are Re-
ceived and No Formal Action Taken
to Name a Man to Hold Position

a four-nour session at the city hall on
Tuesday evening but at the end of Che
session no aovion had been taken to
name Fire Chief for the city to sue
coed the late H. A. Isermann. The

proceedings this morning. 1--WE took
no action of any kind in the matter.''
said President Fl. B. Robinson of the
Commission "We discussed conditions
and it was the unanimous idea of the
commission at hasty action would be
Ill advised. There were no formal an.
plications presented for the position
and we just decided to lay the matter
over indefinitely. No temporary Chief
was appointed and we decided to let
the department run along s-,et as it
is for the present. No special time
was named to take up the matter for
S1rther consideration but it win prob
ably come up in some form at the next
regular MEETING of the commission. -
This meeting VIII be held according to
schedule on the first Friday in May. (

the meeting of the commissioners and
lights burned late in the Va eps IRE
stations as the tEeh waited g.. flad out
who had been named as Chief of the
department Members of the commits
sion other than P~"sident Robinson de-
clined to discuss the matter more than
to declare that nothing of formal ma
ture had been done. It is known that
there was some discussion of the merits
of the men who have been mentioned
for the position but this was decidedly
informal.
With no action on the part of the
commission it is expected that Assist
ant Chief Carl Schend will continue to
act in the capacity of head of the de-
partment.
The commission had lot of work to
do without the appointment of a new
fire chief. There was large number
of applicants for places on the fire and

Aldrech down in New Hampshire on
Thursday dissolved the receivership pro-
ceedings brought against the Supreme
Council of the order and handed down a
decision in which he held that the ROYAL

Mayors Call for Gardeners.

The call is now being sent out to the
boys. Not only the boys in the High
school, but these big long pants fellows
In the graded schools of the city and
they are being asked to work the va
cant lots It's call to the Boy Scouts
to show what they can do for their
country and these boys have given
the assurance that they are going to
buckle in and do their bit.
Featured in the organization of the
boy s garden brigade is the fact that
lot of people have offered property
for the boys to farm. The commit
mittee has the list of lot of vacant
lots which are available
DIR. Ell. A. Robinson is going to be a
farmer himself and he is going to be
generally in charge of the Ropeville di-
vision. Out in Ropeville are half
hundred vacant lots. DR. Robinson
owns some of them and he is ready to
turn them over for cultivation
and he has made an appeal to all
other lot owners to give him the right
to organize an army to farm the prop
erty. Out in the Ropeyille neighbor-
hood in former years men made fortunes
raising cabbage and onions and pota-
toes. DR.. Robinson is determined that
this valuable land shall not be left
vacant during the coming garden sea-
son. He is willing to shed his coat and
do little planting and little
spading and ready to do his bit
to help the boys get gardens of the
right kind underway.
The movement is on to secure posses
sion of the hundreds of acres of vacant
lands owned by the railway companies
in the city limits and in the suburbs
and if these plans are carried out,
vast area of garden lands viii be added
to the domain of the committee. In
many cities the railway companies
have given the use of these lands to
municipalities. A formal request has
been sent to both the North Western
and the Chicago and Milwaukee for
use of vacant lands.
David r. Fogwell is in charge of this
division of the conservation army and
he is urging people to plant now. Pc
tatoes for early market should be in
the ground now and the later supply
should be planted the second week in
May. If you have boy encourage him.
to join the garden brigade. Get him ina

WOMEN FHRoNe TO MEETINGS.
Demonstrations of s'Thrift'' Cookery
in Public Schools Attract Many
Different Nationalities.

Instead of the traditional marcaroni
and spaghet' the Italian father, return
ing from his work last night, found
corn meal mush, heritage from New
England, and peanut loaf,' deli
cious concoction of the modern melting
pot of American kitchens, steaming
hot on his table awaiting his arrival,
for signora, his wife, had been to the
thrift committees cooking demonstra-
ton in the Balm schoolhouse and had
learned how to make both these deli
cacies.
This meeting was one of the series
being given every day this week in the
public schools under the direction ul
the thrift committee" of the Cnam-
Der of Commerce which is intent upon
instilling economy into the tearts of
the people of Kenosha.
Successful beyond the hopes OF the
promoters have these meetings been.
AT yesterday Is gathering in the Balm
School nearly thirty italian women,
some of whom spoke so little English
they had to depend upon their friends
for interpretations of the demonstra-
tor s lecture, gathered to learn how to
use American materials in making
American dishes. This has become
vital matter with them since the war
has made difficult the importation OF
their beloved olive OH, their armi
cheese, the italian brand or macaroni
and other ingredients without which
they feel like mariners in unCnarted
culinary seas. However, they did not
need to be proficient in English TO see
what the demonstration did, nor to taste
the savory dishes which she conuoeted
and then served to the guests. The wo-
men went home enthusiastic over
American dishes and eager to expert
ment upon them.
Tomorrow's meeting will be in the
High School at $3.50 O'Clock and it is
for every woman in Kenosha who has
something to give to others in the way
of suggestions for economical cookery
or who wishes to learn what the do
nestle science teachers of the public
schools have to teach in the way of
EFthrift" cooking, It is urged that all
interested attend and come promptly in
order not to delay the opening of the
program.
