Neils Fredsbro Graduates
From WillolUbrook
Man Who Suffered in Advanced Stages
of Tuberculosis Joins the ''Alumn1
of Helpful County Institution.

Neils Fredsbo, will be listed among
the "graduates of Willowbrook Sana-
forum tomorrow and join the little
coterie of men and women who have
SUCCESSFULLY battled tuberculosis at the
Kenosha County Sanatorium. Fredsbo
Joined the Sanatoriunl patients nine
months ago. He was suffering from the
disease in the advanced form. He has
been one of the most careful patients
and now examinations show that he is
free Of the disease. He is going back
to the regular work which he followed
before he found that the advance of the
disease made it impossible for him to
continue work Fredsbo is the third
graduate from the hospital. Many
other patients at the institution have
been greatly improved and others will
he able to leave within a few weeks.
The managers of. the Sanatorium regret
that more Kenosha people can not be
brought to the Sanatorium in the early
stages of the disease. Many of the
patients who are sent to the Sanatorium
come only when they have reached the
point when hope of arresting the dis
ease has disappeared and this fact has
made heamortality rate at the institu-
ton larger than should be necessary if
proper attention was paid to the care of
these patients. &

dig into the check book in order to
show his interest in having a proper
connecting link between the city and

the city council slow to provide for a
joint improvement Of the road, DR..
Lowe has started fund to improve
the road by private subscription and
to this result he has sent the first
check to the Office of the Evening

drained and cindered so that it will at
least be passable and he believes that
other property owners will be willing
to give something toward the expense
of this improvement. In keeping with
his suggestion the Evening News is
ready to receive contributions toward
this end and acknowledge them from
day to day. The fund now contains a
new crisp five dollar bill. It will take
several hundred dollars to put the road

Gunnar Johnson, one time resident of
Kenosha and evidently a bear for law
observance, has sent letter to Sheriff
Jacob Herrmann making a horrible
confession. Some time in the fall of
1916 when the roads were impossible
Gunnar so far forgot himself as to ride
his bicycle on a small portion of the
sidewalk. Urged on by the nagging
of a conscience which will not be
Quoted, he wants to lift this burden
of guilt from his soul, In this letter
to the sheriff he says:
ga year ago last autumn lived in
Kenosha for two weeks and sometimes
I had to ride a bicycle and one day l
came to bad place in the road and so
I went on the sidewalk for a little
ways and afterwards I heard that it
is against the law to ride on the side
walk in Kenosha. IF / have to pay a
fine let me know
johnson is now living at 1926 Eighth
street, South in Minneapolis, and he
will be notified that his offense against
the peace and dignity of the peo-
pie of Kenosha has been fully con-
donned and forgiven.

HITS ALL PREMIUM SCHEMES
Bill Originated at Gathering of State
Merchants Here Is Passed by Lower
House - Old Time "Come Back
Check of Saloons Under the Ban.

Kenosha was hard hit at Madison on
Saturday afternoon when the lower
house Of the Wisconsin legislature, af-
ter hard fight, passed bill which
abolishes the use of trading stamps in
the state. 1t goes further and abolishes
the custom of giving every sort of
trade stimulant including coupons with
cigarettes, cigars and tobacco, come
back checks in saloons, coupons at the
theatres for distribution of silver and
other prizes, cash register slips which
may be redeemed in merchandise and
in fact every form of gratuity which
has been used by retail merchants to
stimulate trade. The bill may never
become a law, but it is declared that
a large majority of the members of the
senate have declared themselves ready
to vote for it and that Governor Philip
will sign it just as soon as it has the
sanction o. the two houses.
The bill, which has been passed by
the lower house, was first drawn at the
state meeting of the Wisconsin Retail
Grocers and General Merchants Asso-
citation held in Kenosha in the summer
of 1916 and it was endorsed for passage
by the legislature by large majority
of the merchants attending this meet
ing. Kenosha is one Of the big
premium towns in. the state and it
is declared that more than hundred
of the stores of the city are at present
Hsing some one of the premium plans
to get and retain business. The stamps
have been used by some of the largest
stores in the city and many stores have
for years given out the cash register
slips with the idea that they will be
redeemed at a one per cent value of the
original purchase If the bill finally
weathers the legislative action it would
become effective the first Of next July
and people would have until that time
to clean up their contracts with the
various trading stamps and merchan-
disc bond concerns.
MANY local merchants were reioic-
ing today over the passage Of the bill
dS UhCH nave bciu tHdb the tIHu1HS
stamp brought an unfair competition.
Others who have used the stamps de
clared thaG they were still hopeful that
the legislature would reverse its action
under a reconsideration. The bill
passed is modelled after the bill passed
by the state Of Washington which has
been given the sanction of the United
States Supreme Court.
1t is probable that in case of the
passage of the bill in the Wisconsin
legislature that the big stamp concerns
and other concerns giving coupons and
tags will make. a great fight to test
its constitutionaljty
Assemb,yman Vincent of this county,
voted against the bill on it's final test.

Electric Trai7ln1e1a
Ell May Be Called Out
Men Operating Cars on West Side Line
are Included Among the Members
of the Brotherhood.

In case of railway strike Kenosha
may not be as fortunate as she had
hoped for, if a general tieup comes, as
it is declared that it will include the
west sido electric line. Many of the
trainmen employed by the Chicago,
North Shore and Milwaukee company
are members of the trainmen s broth
erhoods and it is declared that they
have been ordered out on March q if
a general strike is called. Many Ke-
nosha people had planned to use the
electric line in case Of a tieup Of the
North Western but in case Of strike
it is probable that this line will be
just about as hard hit as the North
Western.

MUST CARE FOR LITTLE BOYS
Annie and Joe Boczvincz Decide to Di
vide Home Along Their Own Lines
But Court Insists That Little Boys
Must Be Properly Cared For.

"Draw up the papers, lawyer, ana
make 'em good and stout - There
was. domestic tragedy in the court
of Judge Randall this morning when
Joe and Anna Boczvincz, who were
married way back in 1906 in Poland,
appealed to Judge Randall to give his
sanction to an agreement of separation
which provided for the dividing of
the little family between the two of
them. Two little boys, Vitold aged
eleven, and Charley aged eight, were
the "chattels'' which were to be made
a part of the agreement. Little Charley
was to 90 with his father and the other
boy with his mother when the home
was broken up. annie insisted that
she was to have all of the furniture in
the home at 176 Ridge street with the
exception of one bed and electrice stove
which had been the pride of Joe.
They did not look bit like divorce
court nabitues. Joe beamed on Annie
as he, assured the court that he was
ready to agree to the separation and
Annie smiled eoquetishly at Joe as she
declared that she was willing to let him
have Charley and the bed and the
stove. Charley and Vitold were sob
bling at home over their being parted
Annie insisted to the court that she did
not want divorce AID Joe urged the
"eternaI Triangle as the cause of all
their troubles.
Judge Randall refused to have any
part in the seyering of the little family
and told Annie and Joe that if they
must separate they would have to get
a lawyer to draw the papers. Before
they left the court room the Judge in
formed them that the rights of the two
little children would be the paramount
interest of the court in the case and
that if they were not properly cared
for that he would take them and place
them in some state institution
The couple left the court room arm
in. arm and started out to hunt up
lawyer who would properly draw
papers for their legal separation.
"There is absolutely no cause for
divorce here said the court, "and
this couple should be forced to remain
together for the care of the two boys,
but what are you going to do about it?"

As compared with neighboring
cities, Kenosha is enjoying very low
tide on eontagion, as we have no
diphtheria and only two mild eases
of scarlet fever. There are quite
number of cases of whooping cough
and parents should be very careful
where they take their children or
allow them to go, at,least those who
have not had this disease. There
are also a few cases of measles and
the same precautions should be ia
ken in regard to this disease.

Oklahoma public schools in most
OF the districts where cotton is rails
cd probably will be closed for two
weeks SO that the children may pick
cotton, as result of a recommen
dation made to State Superintendent
Wilson by committee Of Federal
agricultural county agents.

ton worth SIS .OOO.O 900 still is in the
fields. Shortage of labor will delav
picking and much OF the staple will
be wasted by high winds. A severe
storm, the committee pointed out.

run into millions OF dollars. 1t is
proposed to add two weeks to the
spring term OF school in those sec
tions that comply with the sugges-
ton.
The idea has already been in Du-
rant, and has been laid before the
city school board by II. l.. Cox. one
Of the board. but no action has so
far been taken. The Board, hOwev-
er. still has the matter under ad-
visement. and IL II is shown that an
action of this sort on their part will
