PREFER TO WORK FARMS
City Exemption Board Meets This Even
ing to Commence Hearing Claims and
a secont Call for Men to Be Exam
ined May Be Decided on Tonight.

The Kenosha County Board of Elk
emptions was hammering away at the
work of making soldiers for the ma
tional army today, but it was evident
that men on the farms in KenSsha
county are not anxious to serve in the
armies of Uncle Sam and after a hun
dred of the one hundred and eighty-six
men had been examined but FIVE re
manned who had not claimed exemp-
tions. Many had been exempted as
physically unfit probably twenty
and seventy-fve Of the remaining
eighty had claimed exemptions. Many
Of them claimed exemptions on account
of the fact that they were working on
the farms in the county. Many
claimed exemptions because they had
dependents who they were called up
on to support and few declared that
they thought that they could be Of
greater use to the government on the
farm than on the army front.
With the examination of the first one
hundred men it became evident that it
would be necessary to make a second
call on the registered men of the county
in order to, get the ninety-eight men
necessary to make up the first quota call
ed from the county. The work Of examin-
ing the first men called for service will
not be completed before Wednesday
night. Many men have been called to
report for examination on Wednesday.
No final action for SECOND. call can
be taken until after these men have
been examined. It will probably be
necessary to call another two hundred
men in order to get the necessary
quota for the county.
The Kenosha City Exemption Board
rested today after five days Of strenu-
GUS labor. The final physical examin-
ations were made on Saturday after
noon and the boards meets this evening
to take the final inventory and possibly
at that time it will order the second
call of men for examination, 1t is
probable that the second call will be
for five hundred and sixty men Up TO
the present time, the city board has
granted no exemptions. 1t is possible
that the consideration of claims will be
started this evening. Some three
hundred men passed as physically fit,
have filed claims for exemption.
The afidavits supporting these claims
may be filed at any time within the
next seven days, but there is nothing
to prevent the board starting the
work with the men who have fled
their affidavits.

swat THE KAISER. ;
Novel Concession Promised to Enter
tain Thousands at Retailers Pic
mic Thursday at Silver Lake.

IL you want just one good chance to
swat the KAISER the place to go is
to the Retailer s picnic at Silver Lake,
Thursday, where opportunity will be
given to all to do the most coveted
thing among Americans. It's certainly
too bad that it is not as true as it
sounds, but the exhiliaration in hitting
the mark should be the same as if the
crowned head was the real object of
the attack. The upshot Of it all is that
H. G. Maddock, secretary of the Re
tailers' Association has secured for
the big picnic on Thursday a conces
sion which substitutes for the old
knock the baby game an innova-
ton where helemeted Prussian in
the role Of the Kaiser serves as a tar
get for the aspiring ball tosser.
This is but one of the many conces-
sions which have been signed up to as
sure the all-day entertainment Of the
thousands vic will attend the picnic.
The committee was at Silver Lake,
this afternoon, laying off the grounds
and fitting up the fixtures and appara-
tds, so that there will not be a single
hitch in the performance Of Thursday.
Every day brings in more promises
from retailers to close their stores and
business houses for the occasion and
the latest surprise was that the bar-
bers and pool room owners, convinced
that business would be slack at Keno
sha, have arranged to close part of the
time to allow their employees to attend
the picnic. Everybody is going and
everybody is going to have good
time was the salient comment at the
seeretary's Office this morning.

Sees Good Chance
For Corn Crop
Editor of wisconsin Agriculturist After
Trip Over Southern Wisconsin
Makes Interesting Report.

F. B. Swingle, associate editor of the
!" Wisconsin Agriculturist, y has Just re-
turned from motor trip through 81
counties of Wisconsin, lasting nine days
and in the current issue of the paper
gives an account of his observations on
conditions of crops 'sFrom Lake to
Lake Across Wisconsin.
In speaking Of tie southeastern coun,
ties, he says:
1.-THE section made up of Kenosha,
Racine, Milwaukee, Walworth and Rock
counties showed up well in the general
description Of crop prospects. The
Lake Michigan districts were planted
even later in the spring than the dis
triets farther from the influence of that
cold body of water. So corn was away
behind its proper schedule even in
Southern Wisconsin.
.But we shall have corn unless the
frost king is around in September away
ahead of his schedule. Then, too, the
Badger state is silo insured to re-
markable degree, as one can see who
takes ten-day journey from lake to
lake. Five million tons at least can be
held in these great big corn cans of
Wisconsin.
In another article in the same num-
Der the Wisconsin Agriculturist says:
The use of formalin to prevent on
ion smut will soon become common
among growers who have been having
losses from this disease.
Mr. n Grabher on the Lakeshore
road, between Racine and Kenosha, has
used it successfully this season. This
grower had experienced losses from
smut on the fields where onions had
been grown for several years in success
sion.
This year he sprayed the affected
field with a solution of one ounce of
40 per cent formalin to each gallon of
water, using 200 gallons to the acre.
Mr.. Grabher became familiar with
the formalin treatment against smut
last year, and this season did thor
ough job of soil treatment in the man
ner described. The results are most
striking and convincing. As good a
stand as can be described is seen on
that field with the exception of the rows
left untreated in order to test the work.
these untreated rows show so poor a
stand that it is plain that the field
would have been failure had no treat
ment been given.
The formalin costs seventeen cents a
pound, and the entire cost of treating
for extra labor, etc., will total SIS an
acre. When this insures the good yield
which Mr.. Grabher and others who dis
infected soil this season may reason
ably expect, it requires no imagination
to see the point.

BODY CLAIMED BY PARENTS
Father and Mother Identify Remains Of
Son Who Was Enjoying Last Out
ing Before the Government Should
Call Him to the Colors.

A little vacation trip before respond
ing to the call of country, an ideal day
for swimming and adventuring, lonely
fight with gripping cramps and greedy
waves, these were the circumstances by
which death cheated the draft, when
Arthur A. Anderson, a Chicago con-
script, was drowned in the waters Of
Camp Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
The details of the tragedy became APP
parent Thursday morning when the
young man s body was claimed by his
parents following an inquest by Justice
of the Peace William Evans of Trevor,
who declared that death had been
caused by accidental drowning" The
remains Of the unfortunate patriot were
taken to Chicago where funeral
Bervices will be held today.
Accurate information of the disaster
Is unavailable. Young Anderson,
strong and handsome son of well-to-do
parents and one of the first men drawn
In the national lottery, was spending
"a few days at Camp Lake in fishing
and camping before being mustered into
active service. On Wednesday after
noon he left the hotel at Camp Lake
for little adventure. He was unae-
companied and this fact is possibly re-
Bponsible for has DEATH and certainly
for the mystery which surrounds it.
When he failed to return for dinner
authorities sounded an alarm. A short
search revealed his body floating on
the surface of the lake. He had APP
parently been dead for some time and
all attempts at resuscitation proved
futile. There were no evidences of
either heart trouble or violence and
Justice of the Peace Evans, who held
the inquest over the body of the VIC
tim, readily reached q conclusion
that death had been due to drowning
possibly caused by an attack of cramps
kilograms announcing the accident
were sent Immediately to parents and
friends of the young man in Chicago.
As consequence Mr.. and Mrs. Ander-
son reached Trevor early Thursday
morning. The body of the drowned
conscript was identified beyond ques-
tion and shipped back 10 the city for
burial, The mother and father of young
Anderson were at loss to understand
the strange circumstances surrounding
their son s death. They reported that
he had never been overly adventure
some and were of the opinion that
cramps must have played a large
part in the drowning. They also
confirmed the fact that his number had
been drawn in the recent draft and that
his visit to Camp Lake had been ar
ranged as last outing before the cal
to the colors should make sport and
pleasure temporarily impossible.
Young Anderson had intended to re-
turn to Chicago today. Instead funeral
services will be held for him from his
late home in that city. The last
rites followed by burial at Rosehill will
ring down the curtain upon one of the
saddest and strangest tragedies eveI
enacted in Kenosha county.

Here is little item from the Arbei-
ter Zeitung, a German language paper
published in Buffalo:
3fParis newspapers~are rejoicing over
the downfall of DIR. Bethmann Hollweg
and over the hopeful German upheav-
al. Short-sighted! The fact that a
country is able in time of an incom-
parable war, to go in for such an indie
pendent inner crisis, is healthy sign.
A sign of strength. =
How proud these German editors in
America are of their brethren across
the sea. And how they exult in their
prowess.
The question now is whether men
who are as enthusiastic about America s
enemies as these seem to be, can be
trusted as moulders of public opinion in
America In times like these.
Our guess is that they are not to be
trusted and should therefore be firmly
gagged From The Vigilantes.
