Ghost to Walk
For Exemption Board

= j -
Men who have been serving on the
exemption boards of the city and
county are going to be paid for their
services, as word comes from Madison
that the government has sent an order
for thirty-eight thousand dollars to the
governor to meet the expenses of as
sembling the new national army in
Wisconsin. The men who have served
as members of the exemption boards
will be entitled to fee of four dollars
a day. In Kenosha both the city and
county boards of exemptions have
been in almost continuous service
since the first call for the draft was
issued. Physicians who served the
government in the examination of the
men will be entitled to claim fee Of
ten cents for each man examined
If the members OF the boards in
other cities and counties have given
anywhere near as much time to the
work as has been given in Kenosha
county the government will have to dig
a lot deeper into its war chest in order
to meet the pay orders of the men.
With the coming of funds to pay the
draft boards it is announced that gov
eminent agents in charge of solving
the problems incidental to the transfer
of men to the camps are in Madison
Routes for all units Of the army will
be worked out at once and the local
boards will be notified as to how the
men are to be taken to camps. 1t is
probable that the soldiers from Keno
sha will travel on special train and
that they will have as their companions
the men selected in Racine county 1T
is expected that the provisions for the
train service will be announced the
early par of next week.

Registration Card Brings
Alien to Terms

would become a citizen If some
one else will pay the dollar, said
Peter Yutes, Of Somers, to the county
board on Tuesday, but as the someone
did not appear to pay for his right of
American citizenship, the board found
a new way to bring him to terms and
make him, even against his will, per-
haps, First papern citizen. Yutes
had the misfortune to lose his regis
tration card and had appealed to the
county board for a new evidence that
he had fulfilled the terms Of the law;
this was forthcoming but in order to
assure the return Of the alien with the
necessary dollar to pay the fees fol-
the papers, it is withheld until he
meets the conditions.
The Somers man explained that he
had been out of work for some time
because he would not take a "mule
job which were offered to him every
day. He said that he was first class
workman and would wait until a
position worthy of him should be-
come open, but because every employer
asked to see his registration card, he
was forced to appeal to the county
board. Reports from the court house
this afternoon showed that as YET
Yutes had not made his appearance
but officials are sure that another day
will bring him to time.
Five aliens, three Of whom waited
for the persuasive influences of 9
nights lodging in the cooler, took out
their first papers Tuesday and were
registered among the ones subject te
the selective CONSUMPTION bill. Aliens
have begun to realize that United
States officials are in earnest when
they offer citizenship or deportation
and many are taking the patriotic
view of becoming citizens before it is
too late.

MANYLICENSES nave EXPIRED
Nineteen Peddlers Who Had Licenses
Last Year Have Made no Applica-
ton and score of Milk Men have
No License Tags to Display.


Mayor Charles H. Pfennig this morn
ing took a hand in the work of collect
ing hcens Is for the city or Kidding the
streets of the city Of unlicensed deal
ers when he instructed Chief of Police
O'Hare to direct his officials to pick
up every peddler of any kind in Keno
sha working without license.
The records eff the city show that
nineteen of the twenty eight fruit and
vegetable peddlers who had licenses
issued to them last year and whose IL
censes have expired have not made APP
plications for new licenses. It is de-
clared tfat many Of these mel are now
using the streets of the city to peddle
their wares. Many Of them have de-
ciared informally that the Kenesha
peddlers lie ense ordinance is dead
letter and have fortified themselves
behind a state license in order to evade
arrest The city ordinance has bean
enforced in the past and SO long as it
has rot been repealed Mayor Pfennig
is determined to enforce it. Many
complaints have been received bv the
officials of the city against the opera
r IF ensed peddlefs.
These men use Use sweets OF Kesfe,
sha as their sales rooms, said the
mayor this morning., and I know of
no reason why they should not make
some reasonable contribution to the
funds of the city. All licenses for the
city must be collected. We do not
want one man to pay fees TO the city
and others to carry on work without
licenses. What we want is for all of
these people to be treated exactly alike
and the ordinances of the city are to
be enforced impartially.''
City Clerk Harrington was busy to-
day looking up the list of license de-
linquents. They included not only the
peddlers but probably seor, of men
who are selling milk in the city and a
number of the meat dealers. Milk men
have not been any too prompt in meet
ing the demands OF the license ordi-
nance in the past and it is probable
that it will be necessary to make
number of arrests to have these men
see the necessity of obeying the ordi-
nance The enforcement Of the milk
ordinance is in charge of the health
board. The laboratory of the city has
been busy for weeks making tests of
milk offered for 7alc by some of the
milk dealers in the city and some Of
this milk has not met the standard de-
manded by the city. These men have
been given orders to clean up the dair-
les and the cans in which the milk is
handled and the granting Of licenses
to them will be largely dependent on
the manne- in whidh> these orders are
met. In former years milk dealers
were forced out o. business when they
failed to meet the demands of the de-
partment and it is expected thai SINH
lar action wilt~be taken at this time.

Governor to Ask
For Third Term

Unless all political signs fail, Gov.
E. L. Philip will be candidate for
reelection as governor of Wisconsin
next year. To one who has watched
the political activities of the execu-
tive during the session and since, the
belief becomes the more certain that
every act of the executive is an indica-
ton that he plans further political pre-
ferment. There was much talk during
the session of the legislature that
Speaker Whittet of Edgerton, or Sena-
tor Plat Whitman of Highland would
be candidates for governor Both are
Philip men. This talk has died out.
Among the Philip men the only talk of
a gubernatorial candidate is Gov
ernor Philip.
Senators Bray and Wilcox are being
talked of. That Mr., Wilcox viii be a
candidate and that his campaign may
be managed by Senator Charles II.
Everett OF Racine now seems certain.
Senator Everett is being mentioned as
a possible candidate for lieutenant
governor on the Wilcox slate.
There is some talk of Lieut-Gov. E.
n Dithmar Of Baraboo. A score of
others might be mentioned who have
gubernatorial aspirations. Secretary of
State Martin Hull has been talked of.
John S. Donald, former secretary OF
state and now head of the Dane county
defense council is mentioned, and Geo.
Commings of Eau Claire is suggested.

FACTORIES TO GAIN MUCH
Zig Industries Which Use Lot of Illinois
Coal May Save More Than Dollar
a Ton on Future orders-No Eff
feet on Anthracite Coal Supply.


The Presidents proclamation fixing
the prices of coal issued on Tuesday
| night has been received with varied
feelings by local coal dealers and they
are slow to predict just what effect
the proclamation will have on retail
prices in Kenosha
Who is going TO pay the shrink
age, was the pertinent question
| which one Of the dealers fred back
in answer to a request as to state
| ment in regard to the change in prices.
He continued: eve have bought coal
for domestic consumption in Kenosha.
1t has been delivered at the docks, but
it was not bought at the price fixed by
the president. West Virginia coal is
the coal bought for the domestic sup
ply in Kenosha. We have bought this
coal and paid for it at price of 1915
at the mines. Now the price fixed in
the presidents schedule for this coal
appears to be 1926 a ton. What we
want to know is whether or not we
viii be related the differences. If
we are, it will be easy enough to lower
the cost of coal. T had figured that
/ the reaEe tjess sssss most grades was
out dollar TOM
The order of the president applies
only to the bituminous coal supply
and has nothing to do with filing
furnace bins with anthracite coal.
George FL. Cook, local manager for
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
pany, saw a decided advantage in
| many lines of business in the order of
the president fixing the coal prices. He
| held that it would mean considerable
saving not only to his companies, but
also to a lot of other companies who
were forced to regulate business by the
price of coal. Purchasing agents of
the big manufacturing concerns insist
ed that they wanted some more in
formation before they began to count
| the saving that the new price would
| mean to them. Many of the factories
| have contracts. A few Of them have
long term contracts and they are
anxious to know just what effect
the government price fixing will have
on these contracts.
Most Of the coal used in big indus
tries in Kenosha is from the Illinois
mines. Present contracts show that as
high as $500 have been paid for this
coal known as "prepared sizes 4
Under the order of the president the
price of this coal laid down in Kenosha
should be $500, all provided that the
companies are not forced to pay any
yard charges. This coal at the mines
cost before the president issued the
order $3.50 ton and the freight on
it was $1.70. Under the new order the
price at the mines is fixed at 1920.
These same prices will not apply to
coal for domestic uses as charge for
yard service and delivery must be
added to the mine prices. In Chicago
| the yard charge is figured at $2.15 a
! ton for each ton handled.
The local dealers have been working
for months to get the domestic supply
of coal bought and lot of it is now
in the local yards The price to local
consumers is going to depend lot on
| just what is done to make the price paid
when this coal was purchased the same
as being charged at the mines now.

will be ready to start with the first
unit. Men who have claimed exemp-
tions on account of the fact that they
wanted to get in the crops beforo going
to war will probably be held until the
third call for men. This will mean that
they will leave Kenosha for the can
Torment about the first of October.

OLD MILK TRAIN ON LAST LEGS

OLD MILK TRAIN ON LAST LEGS.
The old-fashioned morning milk train
that for many years has chugged its
way from the dairy district to Chicago,
stopping at every station and every
other crossroad to pick up cans Of milk
left on platform by farmers, is
doomed.
Ultimate pasteurization of all milk
in the country and its shipment to Chi
cago IN bottles, in refrigerator cars,
was predicted here yesterday by Health
Commissioner Robertson of Chicago
after two days tour Of the milk pro-
ducing country of northern Illinois and
southern Wisconsin.
BM DR.. Robertson and members of
the aldermanic committee decided that
pasteurization OF the milk in the coun-
try shortly after it is delivered by the
farmers is the plan which will ultimate
y be the common practice of all deal
ers selling milk n Chicago. Sixty per
cent Of Chicago's milk supply is pas
teurized and bottled in the country at
present. The percentage goes up each
year.
The district from which Chicago OBJ
tains its milk supply will eventually be
extended far beyond its present bound
aries became apparent to the city off
Gals as they travelled The district
which supplies Chicago with milk at
present is 80 mil' IS in radius.

Home Guard Officers Forbidden to Pose As
 Regular Army Leaders

In a circular letter issued from the office of Adj. Henry c. Stevenson by command of Col. Wilson, C. H. G.. all officers of the Fourth Regiment, c. H. G., are ordered to adopt the brass buttons, collar insignia and other dis tinctive markings of the Connecticut Home Guard, and in no way to sinlu late the accourtrements of the United States Army.
 The circular states that 1t has been found by the commanding officers that some officers have assumed authority to wear bronze buttons resembling those of the United States army and not such as are issued by the military emergency board.
 It is now under consideration by the board toN have officers wear the raised brass buttons worn by the C., N. G. about a decade ago. The board has authorized for officers the use as ascap device an eagle like that worn on the caps of United States army of ficers, emitting the circle of stars above the eagles head.
 It is reported that collar insignia for the Home Guard troops have been received by the quartermaster's de- partment at Hartford and there is an immediate possibility that enlisted men in the Guard will no longer have to appear in uniforms which look as if the soldier had been courtmartial- ed and stripped of his insignia, by dis honorable discharge.

ST. CECILIA

St. Cecilia was a Roman lady of good family and, having been edu- cated as Christian, desires to de- Vote herself to heaven by a life of ceilbacy. Her parents, however, compelled her to marry a. young. mo- bleman named valerian, She con certed him as well as his brother to her faith and afterward shared with them the honors of martyrdom. Ac- counts differ as t0 the death she suf- fered, some asserting that she was boiled in a caldron and other that she was decapitated. Cecilia Is generally regarded as the patroness of church music. and music generally. It Is said that St. Cecilia herself played so beautifully that an angel left the heavenly abode to listen to her sitting by her side. Toward the endN of the seventeenth century the practice was introduced of having concerts on St. Cecilia's day. Nov. 22. These concerts were highly fashionable

Throws Brick Through Fire House Window;
 Fined $50 and Costs

Michael Burkslof, 557 Bostwick avenue, whose home adjoins Engine Go. No. 2, was sitting with his wife on his back piazza trying to keep cool yesterday. A jokester generously thought that cold water would assist in comforting Burkslof and his wife with the result that a pail Of water was dashed on their heads and bodies.
 Instead of feeling comforted Burks- lof became very angry and swore one of the firemen in the engine house played the trick on him. He threw brick through the fire house win- dow. Policeman Kelly admonished Burkslof. The latter still angry. tried to thrash the policeman. He was ar rested by Kelly and Judge Frank Wilder. fined him $50 this morning in city court.
