CHICAGO ATTORNEY
USED A SET LINE
Victor G. Winnen, Said to be Prominent
in Chicago, Falls into the Net
of the Game Warden.

Victor G. Winner, said to be prom
inent as an attorney in Chicago, was
arrested at Lake Elizabeth late Sat
urday night by Deputy Game Warden
Michael Kleist charged with fishing
with a set line. A sister of the attor-
ney was taken into custody but she
was later discharged by the gallant
game warden who declared an unwill-
ingness to proceed against women
and children when man was direct
ing the operations.
Winner and his sister were operat-
ing from a boat on Lake Elizabeth and
after the arrest the attorney put up a
check for sixty dollars which was
promptly converted into cash by the
game warden.
He is to come to Kenosha later in
the week to enter formal plea ia the
case. The minimum fine under the law
is fifty dollars and the costs.

Dishonoring the Flag.

We had wonderful Fourth of July
Celebration the other day. It was the
greatest patriotic demonstration that
the people of Kenosha had ever made.
We kept step with the Star Spangied
Banner, we joined in singing "My
Country tits of Thee" We had out a
lot of beautiful floats and thousands
and thousands of marching patriotic
men and wonderland most of the peo-
pie who lined the streets never DOTTED
their hats when the flag was carried by.
We suppose that these people did not
mean any dishonor to the flag. We are
hopeful that it was a case of ignorance
rather than a studied discourtesy to
cold Glory" but what we are inter
ested in is that the people of Kenosha
shall not be ignorant or discourteous
again.
Men should remove their hats when
they are in the presence of an Ameri-
can flag. being carried in a procession
or floating from staff.
The only exception of this regula-
ton are the men in the service of the
United States Army and Navy and
these men are expected to stand the
Salute -
They do it. Not once in the while
but all the time. They have come to
learn that cold Glory" means some
thing. The men who have fought in
the battles over there want to do more
than salute the flag. Some of them in
sist on kissing it every time they see
it.
When that notable patriotic process
sion moved through the streets of Ke-
nosha on the Fourth of July less than
twenty per cent of the men along the
streets removed their hats. The po-
lice officers were all in the parade and
for this reason there was no one to
jog these people to patriotic duty.
We still insist that this seeming dis
respect to the flag was due to thought
lessness or ignorance. Well you can be
thoughtless or ignorant once but there
is no excuse for repeating the offense.
No patriot can fail to honor the flag.
Tt stands for everything he stands for.
For his nation, for his nation of hber-
ty loving people who are fighting for
the liberty of the world. 1t stands for
the cause of humanity and all that
means. 1t stands for the army and the
navy in which your sons and my bro
theirs are serving, it stands for the
Red Cross in which your daughters are
working at home and abroad, it stands
for everything that we love as ma
ton.
It is net asking much to ask you to
respect that flag and all it stands for.
It is not asking much to say Remove
your hat, the flag is passing by.n
You may be just as patriotic with
your hat on when the flag is passing
as with your hat off but you owe it to
the rest of your fellow citizens to show
them that you feel that there is some
respect due the flag and that you are
willing to paw that respect.

READY FOR WORK.
Over Two Hundred and Fifty Children
Enroll in Summer Glasses of
Junior Red Cross.

Over two hundred and fifty children
were enrolled at the different school
centers for Junior Red Cross work
Monday morning and enthusiastically
received their instructions for summer
work. There is still room for more
members and it is expected that just
as soon as the friends of these two
hundred and fifty find out what the
work is like there is going to be a
grand rush on the enrolment bureau.
Boys as well as girls have joined this
new organization and are as enthusiast
tic about their line of work as are the
girls.
The boys will do rug weaving and
many have already been attracted to
the fascinating work. AS for the girls
they find plenty Of knitting and sew
ing to occupy their spare hours.
Old materials, like cans, tin foil and
other things that were mentioned by

sha Chapter. The members may at
tend classes any hour and day in the
week although each one is requested
to attend the same class after he is en-
rolled. There is no doubt but what
this patriotic body of workers will ac-
complish a great amount of work dur
ing the summer months.

CUT HARD COAL
THIRTEEN PER CENT

Notice has been received in the city
of the allotment Of anthracite coal for
the State of Wisconsin, which shows a
decrease of 1886 per cent over the
consumption of 1916. Orders radiat-
ing from United States Fuel Admins
traitor Garfield set the allotment for
the state according to 1916 reports and
makes no provision for the 10 per cent
increase in consumption, which is Gus
tomary.
Consumers can gain an idea of the
saving necessary to meet this lack of
anthracite.
Charles A. Cahill has been appoint
ed administrative engineer for the
State of Wisconsin with authority to
examine any plant in the state and to
suggest changes in equipment of meth
Cd of firing and handling coal He has
the power to enforce changes if neces-
sary. He will be in Racine some time
this week to examine several heating
systems reputed to be unable to con-
sumo bituminous coal.
The United States must save S6,o00,-
600 tons of coal this year to meet the
demands made upon the country for
war contracts and environments. Of
this amount 100000 alone viii be ex-
ported for use in France on the loco
motives and in the environments.
Buckwheat coal is not included in
the allotment Of anthracite coal. A
liberal supply of this coal can be had
throughout the state.

The problem for Foreign Civilian Re-
lief has been knotty one for the Com
mittee to handle ever since it was or
ganized. A solution OF the problem
will be to extend all aid to one organi-
cation. The one most available at pre-

mittee will probably confne its appro-
priations for Foreign Civilian Work to
this organization.
In the. absence of chairman, A. H.

The Committee appeals to all who
are not paying into the Patriots Fund
to send in their subscriptions as soon
as possible. 1t is very difficult to keep
track of all transients, and people in
terested in Relief Work will assist the
Committee by bringing in their sub
scriptions. If any member Of the Pa
triots Fund, who knows of anyone
who is not paying into the Fund will
try to get him to come in or notify the
Patriots Fund Office, it will only be a
short time before Kenosha is 1000

We want every member of the Pa

III the work and to cooperate with the
Committee in putting Kenosha over the
top. We appeal to the members of the
Patriots : Fund to give the Subscription
Committee all the help that they can
to put this proposition over.

Mr.. Rubin appears to think that the
city is just little to ehoughtful Of the
local street railway company. Possibly
Mr.. Rubin is able to tell Kenosha just
how it is going to have traffic situa-
ton. Of course he is paid to take care
of the jitney interests and he is ex-
pected to do this but if he has any solu-
tion we should be pleased to hear it.
We do not care to break down all we
have-be that ever so httIe-without
some assurance that we can get some-
thing at least just as good.

COMPANY WILLING TO AID.
More Equipment and More Speed In
Operation Are Promised Just as soon
AS Equipment Can Be Secured
Under Existing Conditions.

slogan at conference held on Mon
day afternoon between Manager Cal
lendar Of the Wisconsin Gas and Elee-
trio company, Mayor John G. Joachim
and Alderman Pabst, chairman of the
Council Committee on Railways and
Transportation.
The conference continued for nearly
three hours and in this time all the
questions relating to the electric rail
way service were taken up and discus
Ised. The meeting was harmonious and
the Manager of the company declared
that the company was willing to meet
the city better than half way in any
propositions that could be advanced
for the betterment of the service in
Kenosha.
Mayor Joachim urged the company
to provide for more frequent service by
added equipment in the way of cars
and larger cars. Suggestion was made
that the company secure number of
large cars to be used during the rush
hours and that there cars be operated
in addition to the regular cars. The
manager explained to the city officials
that the company was seeking to do
Everything possible under war condi-
lions, to meet every demand for traffic
ir the city. Orders were issued follow
ing the conference which it is thought
will eliminate delays on the lines of the
company. 1t is admitted that the best
possible service can not be given with
out some changes in track conditions
and it is understood that the company
will be ready to make these changes
just as soon as the city gives consent
to them.
Extensions of lines were not discussed
at the meeting on Monday afternoon,
but it is understood that the company
and the city officials will arrange for
another conference in the near future
at which time the future Of the traffic
problem in the city viii be discussed.
II am convinced said Mayor Joa-
chin this morning, "that manager Cal
lendar and the company he represents
want to do the right thing by Keno
'sha and that they are beginning to APP
preciate the needs of the city. We have
assured him that we will be as help
full as possible in promoting better rail
way traffic for the city. Our confer
ence was an entirely harmonious one
and we had no fights over any thing
We feel that Kenosha is on the way to
work out better railway traffic than
the city has ever had before It is go
ing to demand expenditures on the part
of the company but the comapny has
shown willingness to make such ex-
penditures in order to meet the de-
mands Of the people"
The meeting brought out the fact
that the officials Of the company were
greatly pleased with the cooperation
that the people have been giving since
the reopening of operation
No reports will be available for some
time but it is certain that under the
changed conditions there will be mark
ed increase in the operating revenue of
the company. The company has declar-
ed that it will not seek at this time any
profit but that all the money that can
be earned will be used in the extension
of the lines and equipment for service.

WHALEY GETS ENDORSEMENT
Convention Develops Into An Old
Fashioned Democratic Row-one Del
egate Says All of the Participants
Should Have Been Arrested.

Calvin Stewart of Kenosha rose
Phoenix like from the ashes of De-
mocratic pow-Wow over at Burlington
on Monday afternoon and he is still
candidate for the Democratic nomina
ton for member of Congress in the first
Wisconsin district regardless of the
fact that the conference decided by
narrow margin of few votes to no.
inmate Villas H. Whaley, former Dis
trict Attorney Of Racine county and
now "Jackie'' In the United States
Navy for the office. Stewart did not
mince matters but stood right up on the
floor of the convention after the vote
had been taken and told the assembled
Democrats, some eighty five OF them
that he was candidate for congress
and that he was going to remain a
candidate. He declared that hundreds
of people had signed his petitions be-
fore the conference had been even sug-
people he must insist on making a fight
for the nomination.
Whaley was not present at the con-
vention but his supporters were there
in force and it was foregone conclu-
sion before the convention opened that
the Racine Jackie would be endorsed
for the nomination.
One man from sWalworth county,
who was evidently fast friend of the
Kenosha candidate declared that ev-
cry one participating in the convention
should be arrested for attempting to
drag man from the service Of the
navy and put him into congress.
This same man wanted to rescind all
the actions of the convention and quit
but the chairman declared the motion
out of order and the endorsement Of
Whaley stood.
Jay Page Of Elkhorn was the chair
man of the convention and Calvin Ste
wart Of Kenosha was chairman of the
committee on resolutions. The resolu-
tions had the usual amount of preamble
declaring active support for the De-
mocratic party and praising the Presi-
ident and the National administration,
but the real battle came over plant in
the platform which provided for the en-
dorsement of Judge Randall of Keno
sha as a loyalty candidate. There seem
ed to be lot of sentiment ia favor Of
such action but the convention was
thoroughly Democratic and it declined
to go on record in keeping with this
suggestion.
There was an effort made to provide
for the endorsement Of both Stewart
and Whaley but when this finally got
to a vote the resolution was lost by
vote of 43 to 38 and the endorsement
of Mr.. Whaley followed.
Candidate Stewart when seen this
morning said, ct would rather not dis
cuss the convention. I have announced
that | am a candidate for Congress.
and / shall remain in the race. It
would be unfair to my friends who have
signed my petitions for me to turn tail
and run at this late stage. If I had
known that a conference was to be held
it might have been different but now I
can see no way out of it but to con-
tinue in the race. Mr.. Whaley is my
personal friend and I can assure him
that he will be given every possible
consideration during the primary cam
paign and the Democrats of the District
will be given chance to pick a candi-
date without any bitter fight

1t can not be denied that the closing
of the saloons on Sunday is saving
money for lot of Kenosha people who
were accustomed to pay it over ths
municipal court bar on Monday after
spending lot over other bars on Sun
day. So far as we can ascertain most
every body seems to be entirely salts
fed with the new order of things. Some
men have even gone so far as to declare
that the Sunday thirst has been one Of
the easiest of the war sacrifices.

It's your flag and my flag.

It's your flag and my flag. Every
one of US feel in it the ownership of
national citizenship. It is the mother
of us all that it is entitled to all the
honor that you would pay to my mo-
ther or l would pay to your mother.
There should be in your hearts of hearts
the call for respect to the flag but if
you fail to find that heart call you
must heed the call of duty to the rest
of US. Some where John Daily wrote
wonderful toast to the flag. It
wouldn # hurt you to learn it and may
be after you had this toast all digested
you will find your hand just naturally
on your hat every time Old Glory pas
SEES by. Here is what John Daily wrote;
"Here s to red of it;
There 3 not a thread Of it.
No, nor a shred of it,
In all the spread of it,
From foot to head,
But heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing in red.
Here's to the white of it;
Thrilled by the sight of it,
Who knows the right Of it
But has felt the might of it
Through day and night;
Womanhood s care for it
Made manhood dare for it,
Purity's prayer for it
Kept it so white.
Here IS to the blue of it,
Heavenly view of it,
Star-Spangled hue of it,
Honesty's due of it,
Constant and true;
Here's to the whole of it,
Stars, stripes, and pole of it,
Here IS to the soul of it,
Red, white, and blue"

BOARDING AND PROFITEERING
Dealer Should Not Hold or Contract
for More Than Reasonable Re-
quirements of Trade.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To sell farm equipment on the basis
Of what it would cost the dealer to
replace it may be considered profteer-
ing, according tom statement issued
recently by the Office of farm equip
ment control of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Persons who have sold equipment
atreplacement values when costs were
high must continue to do so If prices
go down, even though such sales bring
less than the original cost price of
the stock Moreover, those whose sell
ing price is fixed in relation to high
replacement prices must restock i'm
medfately and carry the same quantity
of. equipment throughout the high
price period as they had at its begin
ming, in order not to profteer. Those
who desire to sell out without replac-
ing their stock. should not sell at a
prevailing high price, but at cost plus
fair usual profit
1t will be considered boarding If
manufacturer or dealer holds, con-
tracts for, or arranges for more equip
ment than the reasonable demands of
his business require. Dealers finding
themselves with excess stock on hand
through inadvertence should sell their
excess holdings at cost plus a fair
usual profit.
The boarding Of farm equipment is
defined by the act of congress of Au-
gust 10, 1917. Manufacturers or deal
ers who hoard will be dealt with I'M
der the terms of this act of congress
and not under he<ruling as to replace
ment values just issued by the equip

Reducing Fire DANGER.

The fire hazard should be considered
in the location and construction of all
new farm buildings. Many groups of
farm buildings are so located and con-
structed that any fire which might
break out in one building would be
almost sure to destroy the whole
group. When new building is to be
erected it is worth while at least to
consider placing it where it will be
reasonably safe from fire starting in
any other building and where it will
not be a menace to other buildings.
Concrete construction is being used
on many farms, and it is especially
desirable for smokehouses, incubator
rooms, and any othsr small buildings
which are exceptionally subject to loss
by fire. The first cost of a well-con-
structed concrete building generally
will be greater than that of a wood
building of the same size, but the con-
crete will last practically forever, and
will seldom need paint or repairs.
A fire in such building can do but
slight damage to the building itself.
and there is very little likelihood of
its spreading to any of the adjoining
buildings.

BENEFITS OF MOTOR TRUCKS
cross-country Hauling Again Has Be-
come Widely Used for Inter-
City Transportation.

An even century ago transportation
interests centeredi on Wheeling, w.
Va. That year saw the Cumberland
road-the wagon highway planned as
a dominating factor in leading settlers
to the great West-completed as far
as the outlying town on the Ohio. Fif-
teen years later the road had been ex-
tended to Columbus; in another decade
1t crossed the Indiana state line.
Then came the steam railway. With
the arrival of this new transportation
colossus. interest in the Cumberland
and other highways waned rapidly.
Road building all but stopped, long
distance hauling by highway stopped,
too.
And now, after three-quarters of a
century, cross-country hauling again
has become widely recognized form
of inter-city transportation. The pow
erful, big load motor truck again has
ushered in the highway as an impor-
tant part Of our national transporta-
ton system.
