SMALL CHARGE WILL Be MADE
Property Owners to Be Assessed at Rate
of Five Cents Foot Less Than One
Third of Former Charges for Same
Service-To Be Paid With Taxes.

Every paved street IN the city Of
Kenosha is to be sprinkled during the
summer of 1917 and the street commit
tee of the City Council claim that the
work is going to be done in manner
that will make it entirely acceptable
and agreeable to the property owners
With the new motor driven sprinkler
and fiusher working in perfect order
the committee is today working out a
route which will provide that every
paved street will be sprinkled three
times, during every day of the summer
and in addition to this it will be
operated at night for the flushing
of such streets as will permit this
kind of cleaning.
This work is not to be done free by
the city, but general assessment
against property. on paved streets will
be added to the next tax levy. The
amount of this assessfent will be only a
fraction Of what the people have paid
in former years in their battle against
the dust of the summer. The uniform
rate will be five cents per front foot
This will mean that a man with fifty
foot lot will pay two dollars half
for the sprinkling of the street during
the entire summer, In other years prop
erty owners have. paid as high as seven
teen cents a foot for the sprinkling.
The list of streets to be sprinkled
include not only the brick streets which
have been sprinkled in former years
but also the asphalt and macadam
streets, In the past two preceding
years the macadam streets have been
given treatment of oil. There has
been some objections to this on the part
Of property owners and on this account
the council committee has decided to
give the streets water sprinkling this
year as an experiment
The plan that has been worked out
by the committee will eliminate the
necessity of any private contracts for
street sprinkling. Every street in the
city will be given the same treatment
and uniform sprinkling will be guar
anteed to all property owners.
1t is estimated that theStotal expense
Of this work will be in the neighbor-
hood of four thousand dollars and the
assessment Of five cents foot is made
with a view of meeting this expense
ana at the same time to give the city a
small sinking fund to meet the cost of
keeping the street sprinkler in repairs.
The same charge is to be made for the
flushing o. streets but in no case will
sprinkling and flushing charges be
duplicated. The flushing of the streets
is planned to take the place of the work
Of the regular street cleaners.
The work of testing out just what
the street sprinkler will do has been
completed and the members Of the com
mittee are convinced that the big
motor sprinkler will give three ap-
plications Of water to every street. in
the city daily.

DAkOTANS STOCK UP
AGAINST DRY SPELL
iowans, Too, Are Making Pur-
chases-Saloons to Run
One More Week.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 2S.-With
only a week intervening until state
wide prohibition goes int effect in
South Dakota, those who have decid-
I'd to take precautions against the pos
sibility of dying OF thirst r laying in
large supplies OF booze to tide them
over as long a period as possible.
The purchasers are not confined to
residents OF Sioux Falls alone. although
some Sioux Falls men are credited with
laying in large supplies of liquor. There
is said to be one instance Of a profess
sional man who, according to reports,
thus far has accumulated in a cur
place in the basement or grounds OF his
home IL barrels of bottled beer and q
barrel of whisky. Buying generally is
quently a case of bottled liquors will
ba sent to particular houses, but a
great deal of this is emergency goods
and will run a family for years, the
chief purpose being to use it for medi-
cinal purposes in cases of sickness.
The heavy demand for liquors is
making great inroads on the stocks
carried by local dealers. 1t is said that
the outside purchasers are the ones
who are making the greatest inroads
on local stocks. Some of these
chasers buy anything as long as it is
some kind of liquor. 1t is reported in
local circles h a one purchaser from
Poif.e hCWd IidS thus la dhSI
Sioux Falls to his home seven Quarter
barrels of liquors, ranging from gin
and brandy to good old burbon with
an 1s-year kick, in it. The liquor is
transported in automobiles, several
small packages at a trip. and In this
way the suspicious of officers in dry.
territory are o aroused.
1t is expected that with the regular
trade carried on over the bars and the
heavy demand of those who are pur-
chasing large quantities of liquor to
take away and store. practically none
of the saloons OF Sioux Falls will have
any liquor On hand when statewide
prohibition goes into effect at midnight
on June so.

Brookings. S. D, June 23,-The South
Dakota State Grange Is holding it's an
nual meeting in Bookings and at state
college with about 100 delegates In at
tendance. Gov. Peter Norbeck and
President E. c. Perisho, OF the college,
addressed the grange / n a public meet
ing on Wednesday evening.
Governor Norbeck emphasized what
the state has dom and can do for the
development OF agricultural interests
and outlined what services the state
can offer the farmer in aiding him to
increase production. to secure better
prices for his products, as well as to
supply him with cheap money, cheap
fuel. cheap power from undeveloped
water power, and cheaper cement for
his construction work-all without put
ting anything on a charity basis. THE
farmer does not ask for something for
nothing" asserted Governor Norbeck,
but all he asks for is a fair chance,
and this, of course, should be given him.
Our government must be a government
OF ervlce. The governor made prac-
tlcal application of the present war and
ITS relation to every citizen, and espec-
tally h producers-the farmers.
In introducing Governor Norbeck,
president Perisho stated that the mem
bers of the state grange, because OF
their personnel and general interest in
the question of food production and
conservation. are part of one of the
ATTEST agencies to bring about better
conditions as regards the food supply
Tor the army and citizens. He empha-
sized the seriousness of the situation by
showing how the American people haye
been robbed OF $50, 900, 900 per month
during the past five months, and how
the people themselves by sheer waste
Iuiness lose untold wealth in what they
eat and drink each year. Statistics
show. he said. that the American peo-
pie waste more thar ST. 200, 600. 900 on
tobacco. and 500. 600, 900 on patent
medicines, more than 100000 600 per
year on liquors; that over 100000 900
in the kitchens; $780, 600, 900
wasted on soft drinks, and double the
amount on corrections.
