"SNOW- STUFF"
Near-Movie Episode is Staged on Main
Street During the Snow Storm of
New Years Afternoon.

:" We should worry about cold feet
when we're doing hot stuff.
This sentiment apparently animated
a party of young men and women who
presented some picturesque SNOW
stuff to an audience of pedestrians
that brayed the storm on New Year S
afternoon to see what was doing on
Main street in the way of up-to- the
minute celebrations.
Seated on a bob-sled, pulled by a
motor car, the merry party swept
gaily through the business district until
they reached the corner of Main and
Park streets when-enter: a snowdrift.

National Board of Censorship.
We're just drifting, spluttered

friend out of the "fluff'' he started up
the street in pursuit of vanishing

hind a "mean old'' motor ear.

Postmaster C orm n Gets
Orders to Begin Now En-
listing Farm Help for
Planting Season.
RECRUIT DURING WINTER

Postmasters have been enlisted IN
the employment bureau service to the
end that sufficient farm labor may be
had at the commencement of the COM
ing planting season. An appeal has come
to them from the U. S. employment
service at Chicago, which is directly in
terested in the farming industry in
the state of Illinois as we'll as states
adjacent to it. P S. Prentiss, acting
director of employment, in letter to
Postmaster James German, says:
"We realize that the problem of Sc
curing sufficient help is likely to be
a serious one; hence it is desired to
start early making plans to meet the
situation. While we have succeeded
in sending out many experienced and
competent farm hands, these will not
be sufficient to supply the demand. We
will, however, receive applications from
many trustworthy and well-appearing
boys and young men, sixteen years of
age and over, who will be anxious to
go to farms during the coming season.
Last year, we were quite successful in
choosing boys and young men of this
kind who succeeded in giving salts
faction witE~farmers who were induced
to give them trial. They will work
for reasonable wages and it is felt that
if the farmers in your locality in need
of help can see their way clear to
employ these young men, it will greatly
facilitate our efforts to supply sufficient
farm help. Some of the young men
referred to have mad limited farm ex-
perience, but large numbers will have
had scarcely any,
Under instructions from the federal
official the local postoffice will be made
use of as a clearing house for the
farmers. In that respect Mr.. Prentiss
says:
Application forms, both for the
employer and employee, are no doubt
on file at every postofice, supply
having previously been sent direct from
the Department at Washington; if not,
a supply can be secured from the Chi
cage office. We would be pleased if
your office might act to limited ex-
tent at least, in the capacity Of a
clearing house for the farmers adjacent
thereto, thus facilitating placements
of farm help. Applications for such
help as may be needed, could be taken
and forwarded to this Office Also your
Office could assist in directing help to
the employers upon their arrival in
your city

Plans Being Completed for
the Organization of the
DesPlaines RiverDrain-
age District.
THREE TOWNS INTERESTED

Petitions will be presented to the
Circuit Court in the near future pro-
viding for the organization of the
Desplaines River Drainage District. 1t
will be one of the largest reclamation
projects ever proposed in this section
of Wisconsin and hundreds of farmers
in Kenosha county are hoping that
the plans for the drainage district will
be carried out before the end of 1918.
The plans for the district have been
thoroughly worked out and plats and
maps are ready to show the land which
is to be reclaimed. The petitions are
now being drawn by attorneys and
it is expected that contracts for the
work will be let in The early spring
of the new year. The Desplaines River
District will drain vast territory of
land in the towns of Pleasant Prairie,
Bristol and Paris with auxiliary dis
tricts extending into the town of Sa-
lem and possibly over into Racine
County north of the town of Paris.
The water shed which is contributory
to the district includes more than TO-
$50 acres of land in Kenosha county.
County Surveyor William O'Brien has
just completed the maps showing the
lines of the district. The plan in
cludes the dredging of the Desplaines
river in the towns named so that the
go Plane is to be made raging tor
rent for at least portion of the year.
A careful estimate of the land to be
reclaimed by the completion of the
drainage plans puts the number of
acres at 1000.
The completion of the project will
be dependent on similar project be-
ing carried out by the farmers in
Lake County, Illinois. Tt is expected
that the water from this great ter
ritory will be taken to the drainage
canal eventually and that the Kenosha
drainage ditch will connect with the
Lake County one near Gurnee ILL., It
is said that the cost of the project
to Kenosha county farmers will be
in the neighborhood Of 100000.
The plan to drain this great ter
ritory has been matter of discussion
among the farmers of the three towns
for many years. It was one of the
pet projects of the late G. D. Holt of
the town of Pleasant Preirie and he
spent considerable time in organizing
the men Interested
II can not say when the work will
be completed" said Surveyor O'Brien
this morning" The petitions for the
legal organization of The drainage dis
trict are now being drawn and we
have assurance from the men owning
land to be effected by the drainages
that there will be no serious opposi-
ton to the plan. IF the Illinois farm.
ers complete their portion Of the work
so that proper fall for the water can
be secured [ am hopeful that the land
will be drained before the end of the
new year. This land will be intensely
valuable and it will bring large in
crease to the value of farming prop
erty in all of the three towns. [ be-
lieve that this is one of the largest
if not the largest projects of the kind
ever started in Wisconsin.
