PORTO RICO MARKET
FOR AMERICAN SHOES

Porto Rican markets for Amer
lean shoes are discussed in detail
in report issued Saturday by the
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce of the department Of COM
merce. Although low wages have
always been the rule in the island,
there has recently been a growing
market for medium and high-grade
shoes. American manufacturers
get practically all Of the trade and
probably will continue to do so.
There are, however, certain dis
tinguishing characteristics which
make this market unique among
oversee markets for American foot
wear. and the report is largely
taken up with an analysis of these
characteristics. Chapters are de-

the market, TO the retail shoe trade,

This is the effect of the agreement

LAWYERS "SLACKERS"?
NO: JUST NEED SCHEDULE

Dividing the Work as Members
of the Advisory Board.

The suggestion that some Of the
vigorously denied by members of the
profession at large, but at that there
is lot of complaint ON the division
of the work Of the advisory board in
connection with the filing out of the
QUESTIONABLE. Some of the lawyers
do not seem to be able to understand
just when they are expected to work.
AS the work is going to be coming in
pretty steady for the next six weeks.
the hard working attorneys are
anxious to have some plan worked
out so that the same amount of work
will be assigned to each man.
FFThis work as your conscience
dictates is all right" declared one of
the attorneys this morning, "but some
times the conscience of lawyer die
tates that he work at one o'clock in
the morning and there is no work to
be done at this time. What we want
is a schedule for work with assign

board with the understanding that he
is to meet the assignments and give the
time scheduled. All of the lawyers
want to be patriotic and help with this
big work but they want to know just
when they are to work. These men
are accustomed to court calls and
we will have to have a calendar
for this work.
Many men were waiting at the coun-
Gil chamber this morning for aid in the
work of filing out the QUESTIONABLE.
They were forcod to wait on account
of the shortage Of the attorneys. It
is probable that within few days
Chairman Buckmaster Of the advisory
board will work out formal schedule
by which each of the lawyers will be
given his regular hours of service.

KENOsHA'S FIRST "cAPTAlN"
Capt Theleen Has Brilliant Record In
His Service in the Navy-Will Prob
ably Command Battleship in War
Zone in the Near Future.

The finest Christmas present offered
to any Kenoshan, came to David E..
Theleen, commander in the United
States navy, who on Monday evening
received from the President his formal
appointment as captain in the United
States navy and he is now in direct
line to become an admiral and with
war and war activities the shoulder
straps in the navy are changing rapidly
these days and it is not improbable
that Captain Theleen will be in
line for appointment as an admiral
before the end of the war.
He has the distinction of being the
first Kenoshans to be named as a
captain in the United States navy.
In the Christmas order of the President
twelve captains were advanced to the
rank of admiral and one hundred and
fifty one commanders were advanced to
the rank of captains These promo
tions were not in keeping with the reg
ular order Of advancement in the navy,
but the men were selected by navy
board headed hy admiral Mayo and
they were chosen on account /of merit
in order to provide officers of high rank
for the rapidly expanding navy. Com
mander Theleen was one of the first to
be named by this board for advance
ment. It is probable that he will be
assigned in the near future to the COM
mand of either a battleship or to one
of the auxiliary fleets of the United
States navy. Prominent among the
men advanced from the rank of COM
mander to captain was David Worth
Bagley, brother-in-law of Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, who recently
commanded the destroyer Jacob
Jones" which was torpedoed and sunk
in tbs war zone.
Captain Theleen has brought lots of
honor to the home town on account of
his advancement in the navy. He went
to Annapolis just after his graduation
from the Kenosha High school, being
named as midshipman by Congress-
man H. A. Cooper. He won honors
during his course at Annapolis and his
advancement has been rand. He has

START FIGURING NOW
State Collector Urges Kenoshans to Start
Figuring Out Details Of Their In
comes So AS to Be Ready for Expert
Guess on Number in County.

In a communication received by this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue,
Paul A. Hemmy, announces that fed
eraI income tax officer will be sent into
this county on January to 18th, and
January 26 to February %. He will
have his office in Post Office in Keno
sha, and will be there every day ready
and willing to help persons subject to
the income tax make out their returns
without any cost for his services.
How many income-tax payers will
there be in Kenosha? IF you can
guess how many married persons living
with wife or husband will have net
incomes of $4,000 or over and how
many unmarried persons will have net
incomes of 81 900 or over this year, then
you know. The Csllector of Internal
Revenue estimates that there will be
1900 taxpayers in this county.
Returns Of income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March 1, 1913. Be-
cause a good many people don It under
stand the law and will not know how to
make out their returns, the Govern
ment is sending in this expert to do it
for them. But the duty is on the tax
payer to make himself known to the
Government. IF he doesn It make re-
turn as required before March 1, he
may have to pay penalty ranging
from $40 to $1,000, pay fine or go
to Jail. So if you don't want to take
chances on going to jail, you better
call on the income tax man. If You
are not sure about being subject to the
tax, better ask him and make sure.
Whether you see the income tax man
or not, you must make return if sub
ject to tax.
Of course, persons resident in other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see thencome tax man who viii
