Making False Affidavit.

Stacker or not, but I do know that
there is going to be some delay in his
wedding" was the comment which
District Attorney Peter Fisher made
this morning when he preferred charges
of classifying an affidavit against Peter
Wukadinoyic in the Municipal Court.
The hearing of the case was con
tinued and the defendant held in
bonds Of five hundred dollars.

who stood in the line of foreigners
seeking marriage license on Saturday.
He is twenty-one years of age and he
planned to marry Mileva Divjak, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael
Divjak. The intended groom swore
that the girl was of legal age, but
when her parents heard that the license
had been issued they went to the dis
trict attorney and protested, holding
that the girl was but fifteen years of
age. The district attorney at once
notified the police to arrest the man
who had secured the license. The
wedding had been set for Wednesday
but it will delayed for a long time.
The parents declared that they OBJ
jected to the marriage of the young
woman to any one on account of

Farmers Woo Wealth
With Onion Crop
Efforts Being Made to Have Very
Large Increase in the Production
Of onions in This County.

Farmers in Racine and Kenosha
counties are going to WOO wealth by
means of q buster onion crop this sea-
son and it is declared that the pro-
duction of onions in the two coun-
ties is to be increased from twenty.
five to forty per cent.
Indications are that the prices this
year will exceed anything known in
Southern Wisconsin, owing to the
great demand and the general increase
in prices for every kind Of produce.
The cabbage acreage will be only nor
NAL, while the acreage of sugar beets,
it is believed, will show slight de-
crease. This is unusual in view of the
fact that managers Of sugar factories
are paying seven dollars ton, against
six dollars last season for beets.
There was a belief that more pota-
toes would be grown in the two eoun-
ties than in previous years, but farm
ers declare that the prices asked for
seed potatoes will prohibit an increase
in the acreage. A number of farmers
expect to grow considerable wheat.
There is belief that the corn and
oats crops will show an increase.

WRAPPED IN COSTLY GARMENT
Hand made Embroidery Decorated shroud
Of Child Which Coroner Says Must
Have Been 'sChild of Heart Trag-
edy ASK Milwaukee to Help.

The body of a little baby girl, so
tiny as to suggest the possibility of
premature birth, was found floating in
the Kenosha harbor near the Main
street bridge just after 2 clock Sun
day afternoon by Assistant Light
Keeper Faulhaber of the Kenosha
Light House. The little body was
taken to the Mischler morgue and Cor
oner IL. A. Millager is making an eff
fort to solve the heart mystery which
may have resulted in the death Of the
little girl.
Faulhaber had a rowboat moored
close to the abuttment of the bridge
and he united the boat and started to
row out into the river when he noticed
the package boating on the water in
the middle of the stream. He went
over and picked it up and when he
opened it, he found the body of the
baby. He promptly turned it over to
the authorities. The body had been
carefully wrapped in night dress of
a woman supposed to be the mother of
the unwelcome little stranger. The
night dress was decorated with hand
made embroidery and of the finest ia
brie. 1t had evidently been torn at the
time the body of the little child was
wrapped in it.
About the body was also copy of
the Milwaukee Sentinel bearing the
date of April 6, 1917. The paper was
an edition which circulates almost en-
tirely in Milwaukee and not the regular
edition of the paper sent to Kenosha.
The conditions under which the body
was found would indicate that it had
been dropped off the Main street
bridge.
q know Of no way that we can con-
duct any investigation into the case, y
said Coroner Millager this morning.
1T is probably one of those heart
tragedies that are none Of the business
of the public anyway. The paper
wrapped about the body of the baby
would indicate that it might have been
brought in from Milwaukee and drop
ped off the bridge, The condition of
the body indicated that it had been in
the water for only few hours"
Coroner Millager notified the under
taker in charge of the little body to
take it out and bury it in nameless
grave this afternoon and later on the
Milwaukee officials were notified to
make an investigation along any lines
they might suggest. The finding Of the
body of the baby caused considerable
of sensation.

NATURALIZATION FALLS OFF.
Few People are Now Filing Petitions
for Second Papers in the
Circuit Court

Most of the alien born in Kenosha
are "under the flag" or have done
their best to become citizens. This is
the decision that has been reached by
Clerk of the Circuit Court DeDiemar
as in the last few days there has been
a considerable falling off in the num-
Der of petitions for second papers in
this county. In the past two months
hundreds of these applications have
been filed. Patriotic organizations
among the foreign born have carefully
searched the records Of first papers
issued in the county to discover just
who is entitled to citizenship papers
and most of these men have filed their
petitions to be acted on at the Septem-
Der or February hearings. There is
still active work being done in the
issuance Of first papers and many
alien born are getting these papers
every day. Like in the appeals for
citizenship papers majority Of the
men seeking first papers are former
residents of Germany and Austria.
More than dozen women from vari-
Gus parts of the county have asked for
first and second papers during the big
rush to naturalization.

RECRUIT MEN FOR FARMS
Effort to Be Made to Have All Idle
Men in Kenosha Aid Big Movement
to Man Farms In State to Produce
Record Crop of Food Products,

In accordance with national prepal-
edneSs measures being taken by cities
throughout the United States to con
serve their resources, Mayor Pfennig
will appoint thrift and conservation
week for Kenosha. The object will be
to bring TO the attention of every man,
woman and child in the city the need
for economy and thrift.
A general committee representing
various civic and municipal organiza-
tions and citizens representing men of
industries, will be appointed to CO.
operate in the campaign.
The Importance of thrift as ma
tional necessity and a patriotic duty
and the necessity of curtails os forms
of waste and extravaganza win be
emphasized
Americans are the most extravagant
and most wastefuI people in the
world" said Mayor Pfennig, "and, in
view of the present national crisis
American people will have to readiust
themselves to a simple form of living.
The shortage in the worlds food sup
ply makes it imperative that citizens
cooperate by adopting simpler mode of
living and by aiding in increasing the
food production. All available garden
space and vacant lots should be planted
and utilized. The observance Of thrift
and economy should be taught in our
schools, preached from the pulpits and
observed by all patriotic citizens"
The purpose of the league will not
be solely along the lines of educating
the people to the necessity of economy
in living. The call has been received
by the mayor for the cooperation Of
the = city with the industrial commits
sion in manning the farms of the state
that the production of food products
in Wisconsin this year may be greater
than in any former year. This call
features the recent proclamation issued
to the people by Governor Philip in
which he declared that "bread is as es-
sential as bullets in carrying on war "
The industrial commission has sug-
gested to the mayor that he appoint
committees to list the labor in the To-
cality in order that all idle men may
find employment on farms. If there is
no demand for the employment of these
men in Kenosha county provision viii
be found by the state commission to
employ them in other portions of the
state. The state commission has sug-
gested the postponement until after
the war is over of less important under
takings in. cities so that men whose
labor will be taken up in this work
may be used for other occupations.
The call right now is for men to
work on the farms and an effort viii
be made to marshal every unemployed
man in Kenosha for this kind of labor.
Mayor Pfennig will have personal
charge of this movement under the
appointment from the industrial
commission.
