CAPITAL CITY NOTES
(By Chas- H. Trapp.)

October IA theory Is being ad-
vanced here that no one should be
permitted to profit materially by the
war-that the man who is better OF
in a large way at the end should be so
taxed that he would have only so
much left as he had when war was
declared. The theorists hold that the
men who went to the front staked
their all on the eventualities and that
It would be unjust to leave all the
material gains to those who were left
behind. Another side takes the view
that the returning soldiers viii con-
troll the situation and thus viii get
what is coming to them later.
One of the biggest merchants in
Kansas reports that business is good
and said that he believes that the
average merchant is making more
money than ever before. The pub
lie has become educated TO advance
ing prices and a suspicion of quality
IS aroused if the old prices are asked.
While there are more empty store
buildings those who stay IN the bust
ness fray are less liable to failure
The probability that an mcompet-
ent man may be elected to take
charge of the big state printing
plant has led number of men TO
dig into the matter and they say
that the legislature can make the
state printer appointive- At the last
primary the rule was to vote for the
heads of the ticket and stop at that,
leaving very low vote for those fuF-
Their down the list The big state
plant is worth half a million and tie
state printer spends an enormous
sum annually for supplies. All which
might bring about embarrassing sit
uations If not IN the hands of q man
who is thoroly competant and honest
In the panic which ensued upon
the orders of the state authorities to
close up the state many startling
rumors spread over the town One
was that twenty-five outside under
takers had been telegraphed for at
Funston to take care of the dead,
which were said to overtax the ca
pacity of the authorities Another
credited the camp with two thous-
and deaths IN a day. Careful per
sonal inquiry failed to develop even
a few cases of the "fiu" at the CAPT
tai, and they had all the symptoms
of the ordinary cold.
P. J. Monagan, a big dealer IN
coal, talking about the prospects for
fuel this winter said that thirty per
cent of the people have their fuel In
now as compared with almost none
in normal years; coal viii be 25 per
cent higher this year than last, &C
count the general mounting OF prices
Of various commodities that have q
tendency to raise the rates, as for
instance, hay is almost double the
normal price and must be fed to the
delivery teams. gasoline has doubled
The U. S. fuel administration fixes
the prices at the mines, fixes the
freight rates and fixes q per cent Of
overhead for the dealer. The last
per cent, Monagan claims, is not
high enough and is driving dealers
out OF the business because there is
no profit IN It

BARRIERS OFFER SERVICES
Martin Schmidt OF the Board of Edu-
cation Organizes Barber Army for
Clean Up and Trim Up of Chill
dren in the Kenosha Schools.

The old song Hair Cut, Hair Cut y
with all its trimmings, is going to be a
favorite with the children of the Ke-
nosha schools ON Thursday afternoon
for the rest of the school year and
every school in the city is going to
have it's barber shop and Tom and Dick
and Harry and Nellie, if they want to-
are going to have a chance to have
their hair cut, their heads washed and
even a little of the "Stin-ga-maroo =
odor of the barber shop communicated
to their well being.
Martin Schmidt, member of the
Board of Education, from the seventh
ward, believes that children Of the
Kenosha schools should not be forced
to wear their hair long and their scalps
dirty just because they may be children
who cannot afford to go to the barber
shop and pay the increased prices of
barbering and he is organizing an army
of volunteer BARRIERS who are to serve
the kiddies Of the schools.
Starting on Thursday some barber
from Kenosha, who believes in clean
children more than he values dollars
and cents, is going to be assigned to
every one of the schools Of the city
He is going to take a.census of unkept
children and then he is going to put
those children in barber's chair and
trim their hair and wash their scalp
The BARRIERS hold that the hair is al
most as important as the teeth and
that if dentists can give their services
to keep the teeth Of the school children
in order that BARRIERS are just as patrio-
tic and they will give something to
keep the children IS hair in order.
There is to be no charge for the
offering to aid a lot of people stand
the burden of war costs. General
Schmidt is to be in charge and he will
assign the BARRIERS to the different
schools for the remainder of the
school year.
It can be said that the plan has the
complete and enthusiastic endorsement
of the members of the Board OF
Education.
A lot of school children who never
knew the luxury of a real hair cut are
to have it when the BARRIERS start their
drive on Thursday. The old plan OF
having the bowl put over the boys head
and his hair cut at home is going te
give way TO his first real hair cut. II
is going to be great time for some Of
the Riddles and the BARRIERS know thai
| in the joy of service they are going te
be just as happy in doing the work.

are just as happy today as they were
fifty years ago, when they started
their lives together.

QUITS OLD HOME IN KENosHA.
Mrs. Catherine zoller, Who Had Lived
in the Same House for Nearly
Seventy Years. Moves Out Today.

Seventy yeari ago this month Mrs.
Catherine Zollei moved into the house
at the corner of Illus and West streets.
Today for the ffDt time she said fare
well to her home and left Kenosha to
go to Davenport, Iowa, where she will
spend the declining years of her life
with her daughter, Mrs John Wallace.
The home of Mrs Zoller is one of the
old historic places of the old third
ward of Kenosha Mrs. Zoller is a sis
ter of the late Joseph III. Tully, for
many years a member of the Common
Council and one of the earliest Of the
pioneer residents of Kenesha. When
she came to Kenosha seventy years
ago her home was established in the
house which she left today. There
were tears Of regret as she turned the
key in the old home for the last time,
but through the tears were smiles of joy
that she was going to the home Of her
daughter who is anxious to welcome her.
Mrs. Zoller is without question the
oldest resident of that portion of
the city and she had probably had a
longer residence in one house . AN any
other person in Kenosha.
