OLD SETTLERS ANNUAL.
Better Than Ever Slogan of Com
mittee in Charge of Picnic at Pad
docks Lake, August 3Oth.

Thursday, August 30th, is the day
for the annual Old Settlers picnic 1T
Paddock s Lake and preparations have
been made to make it the biggest and
best outing that has been given under
the auspices of the pioneers. Thomas
Ne. Kearney of Racine, brilliant ora
tor and forceful speaker, is to make
the address of the day, but this is to
be supplemented by short talks from
various old settlers Of this community,
all of whom will have "reminiscences to
relate, which will hold the intense in
terest of every Badger. Miss Frances
S. Settle is to give readings and
Schmitt IS Orchestra is to furnish the
music for the dancing, which is SEIZED
uled to begin at 4 clock at TIE pavil-
ion. Kansasville and Silver Lake have
promised to stage baseball game re
plete with thrills, which have been as
sured by the offer of the management
of a special purse of nve dollars to the
pitcher Who strikes out the most bat
tiers. Refreshment stands will be on
the grounds and hundreds will bring
basket dinners for the all day outing.
Trains will leave Kenosha at 9:25 a.
m. and Ais p. m. and returning trains
will leave Salem at 7:10 p. m.
The officers of the association, P. G.
Torrey, president, G. G. Brown, treasur-
er, and G. M. Bishop, secretary, are to
be commended for the extensive prep
arations which have been made to make
the day gala one for the Old Settlers
and their many friends, who will be
there to revive the history of the days
which won prosperity and fame for
Kenosha county.

Work Willingly and Wei.

Mrs. E. G. Theirs, vice-chairman of
the Kenosha Red Cross chapter, reports
that exceptionally good work has been
done by the auxiliaries recently estate

eight made garments have been con-
tributed to date and in all of them
there were no articles sufficiently faul-
ty to demand rejection These supplies

Cne hundred and eighty-hve garments,

despatched to Salem, Wilmot, and Ire
vor, with patterns and full instructions
for completion. It is thought that
these will be finished by the end of
the week and will aid materially in
furnishing the usual consignments for
the month.

HEATING DECISION
A DISAPPOINTMENT
CONTINUED from page J.

Gas and Electric Company be required
to repair, reconstruct and improve
such heating system, make the neces-
sary extensions thereto and rem
der adequate service.
The application and cross complaint
were heard together at Kenosha on
June %, 1917. Parties answering were
represented and raised the question of
the commission 3 jurisdiction to au-
thorize discontinuance Of service.
Subsequent to the hearing the commits
sion was advised by the Wisconsin Gas
and Electric Company that in order
to remove that question from the case
the company had abandoned and dis
continued the furnishing of heating
service in Kenosha and relinquished
all rights which it may have had to
give such service.
Since the original petition of the
company asked for nothing except an
authorization, in advance, to discon-
tinue service, and since the company
has decided not to wait for such au-
thorization and has definitely discon-
tinued the service, the question pre-
sented by the petition has become an
academic one, and there is nothing left
for the commission to pass upon. The
issues raised by the cross-complaint.
however, are still before the commits
sion for decision It seems proper,
therefore, for the commission formally
to dismiss the company's application.
retaining the proceedings under the
cross complaint for final decision on
the merits. Tt is considered that the
practical effect of such action is to
eliminate the issue as to the jurisdic-
ton to authorize an abandonment Of
service in advance of the fact, but as
to the remaining issues the status will
be the same as that which existed at
the time of the hearing.
1t is Therefore Ordered, that the
application Of the Wisconsin Gas and
Electric Company for authority to dis
continue heating service at Kenosha
be and the same hereby is dismissed
without prejudice to the right Of cross
petitioners to have the issues raised
by the cross-petition disposed of on the
merits. Jurisdiction Of the proceed
ings so far as they relate to matters
involved in the oss-complaint is
retained for final disposition of
those issues.

Social at Silver Lake.

That the officers recently elected at
Silver Lake were not mischosen is the
encouraging deduction to be drawn
from the latest reports from that COM
munity. Enthusiasm runs high but
funds are low and accordingly a novel
method for raising money has been dis
covered. On Tuesday, August 28th,
Dalton s Hall will be the scene of a
festival of mirth and music. Candy
ard confetti, songs and sociability, will
make the event gala occasion. Incl
dentally sandwiches, lemonade end ice
cream will be sold at the usua, rates.
The proceeds from the latter business
will go to the treasury of the local as
ISOLATION and so furnish funds for the
purchase Of supplies needed by the
auxiliary to continue its patriotic
work for the soldiers of Uncle Sam.

OUTING AT TWIN LAKES.
Party of Girls Properly Chaperoned is
Spending Week in Rest and Rec

A real vacation is being spent by a
party of Kenosha girls now enjoying
an outing at Twin Lakes. The Buck
master cottage is the official headquar-
tiers for the aggregation but the lake
and the rambling woods around it are
the more important background. Fish

chief diversions of the merry-makers

SUFFRAGE FOR OLD SETTLERS.
Miss Harriet Balm Will Present the
Cause of Kenosha Women at the
Annual Picnic for Pioneers.

Through the courtesy of the Old
Settlers Association the August quart
erly meeting of the Kenosha County
Equal Suffrage League will be held in
the pavilion of the Old Settlers
grounds, Thursday, August 30th at
1900 a. m. Owing to the absence of
the president, Mrs. Harriet haywood,
the vice president, Mrs. Perdita
Dewey Pope, will preside. The pro
gram will include music and short
recitation. Miss Harriet Balm will
speak on Suffrage and. Patriotism =
Miss Balm spent several weeks at the
headquarters of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association in Wash
ington last spring where constructive
and extensive work is being done for
the passing of the national suffrage
amendment, with every prospect of
victory in 1918. This organization Of
which Kenosha county is a branch,
deeply deplores the methods of the
woman's party and believes that be-
cause of the picketing and i'll advised
banners the work of every member of
the constructive and patriotic national
suffrage association should be re-
doubled. II is hoped that all county
and city members will attend and that
as many as possible will bring their
picnic baskets for an informal luncheon
under the trees at 1900 m.

o-Thirds off for Cash.

Here are few sentences from an adj
dress by Senator John w. Weeks, of
Massachusetts,, during recent debate in
the Senate, which indicate the need Of
a joint bipartisan committee on war
expenditures: .The recommendation
of the War Department was for $751;
100000 (for purchase of horses), yet
when that question was discussed for
five minutes on the floor of the Senate
ar amendment was offered substituting
$25,0O0,00 for $73,500,00O. It was TAX
en- to conference, referred to the War
Department, and the War Department
replied that $25,000,000 would be suf
ficient for it's purposes If the first
request of the department had been
followed blindly by congress, nearly
three times as much money would have
been appropriated as necessary, there
would have been temptation to extrav-
agance, an invitation for graft, and, In
any event, nearly $50,000,000 would
have been tied up needlessly at time
when the taxpayers of the country are
bending beneath grievous burden.
The appropriation for the war expen-
ditures committee would be only $780,
600. 1t could easily save to the coun-
try a Thousand, times that amount dur
ing the present conflict. Yet the
President opposes the creation Of the
committee. Whyq

BOYS SURPRISE FARMERS.
Corn Growing Contest Arouses Cousid-
cradle Interest in County and In
cidentally Produces Some Corn.

Kenosha county is producing some
farmers that bid fair to surpass their
fathers if they keep up the pace they
have started as youngsters. The sup
position is based on the results which
have accrued from the corn raising CON
test which was inaugurated through the
schools this spring. Four boys in each
township are entered in the contest and
Griffith Richards, the county agent,
who has made a survey of the county,
recently, says that there is not. single
acre which is not still in the running for
the prize money. There are instances,
too, where the juvenile farmer has
the best acre of corn on the whole farm
without casting any reflection on his
fathers farming.
The boys have plowed the ground,
prepared the seed bed, planted and cul-
tivated their "farm = under the direc-
tions of the county agent and Louis J.
NORM, assistant county superintendent.
They have watched with pleasure and

came veritable forests of corn, but
they have done more than watch and
by rolling up their sleeves and pitching
into it, have kept the weeds to a min
imum. Each boy is also trying out his
hand as a gardener as he has in addition
to his corn a small plot of ground plant
ed in tomatoes.
The managers of the contest say that
the outcome is still very much in doubt.
Rank will be awarded both on the quail
ity and quantity Of the product and
also upon the excellence of short COM
position in which each contestant will
describe his experience in raising his
first acre. The results of the contest
promise to be in every way worthy of

Learning how to manage blanket That is little shoct at one end and not quite long enough at the other, with similar deficiencies in width, is one of the first things the young sol- dier should be taught. If he is not taught 1t, he will probably have an ex- perience like that of western recruit who says that in his first week in camp he lost 8 great deal of sleep at night. When he lay on his back his stomach was cold; when he turned over his back was cold: when he pulled the blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet end whsn his feet were un- der the blanket his neck was uncom- fortable. A veterans recipe may. however, be worth considering. He says the only way to manipulate an army blanket, on a cold night, is to pull your knees up to your chin, lie face downward, and hold the four cor ners of the blanket in your teeth.- Christian Science Monitor.
