Reorganized Street Railway
Co. Keeps Cars Moving
on Schedule Regardless
of Blizzard.
SNOW PLOWs APPLAUDED

The efficiency of the re-organized
street railway service in Kenosha had
its first real test in the blizzard that
struck Kenosha on Tuesday and it
stood the test Every car on the street
railway was kept in operation and
nearly all of them were kept right up
to schedule. The women who were in
charge of the back platforms never
gave up for minute on account of
drifting whirling snow and the cars
proved of some real value in storm
ridden. city. All day and all night the
big motor snow plows were kept busy
on the lines and there was street car
transportation in the city regardless
of the fact that many Of the jitneys
gave up with the first coming of the
blizzard Tt was declared at the office
Of the company this morning that every
car on the line was running on schedule
and while this may have been just
little extravagant it can be said that
every car was running and running
pretty close to schedule.
Traffic on the interurban lines into
the city was badly interfered win by
the storm. Many places along these
lines the cars were stopped by drifted
snow banks and the men in charge of
them were forced to get off and shovel
the snow in order to get the cars
through. All cars on the interurban
lines were ofe schedule naora or loss
this morning. This was not common
only to the interurban lines. Trains
on the Northwestern were badly off
the schedule regardless of the fact that
they were being operated by Uncle
Sam. This morning the "Green Bay
was way behind time and other trains
limped into Kenosha half hour and an
hour late after battles with the snow
and ice all along the line. Trains
from the south were also delayed on
account Of storm conditions.
The storm was the worst of the win
ter in Kenosha. Everywhere streets
and sidewalks were all but closed by
drifting snow. The value of the city
snow plows was shown this morning
and these plows cleared the way for
thousands of workers to get to their
places on the first working day of
the new year.
The big storm put a damper on New
Years activities in Kenosha. The
streets were all but deserted on Tues

Says Many Big Farms
VIII Not Be Cropped
The Coming Season

Many Of the big farms in the cOun-
ty will not be planted to grain of any
kind on account of the scarcity of la
Dor and especially that kind of labor
that is necessary for extensive farming.
This is the statement of one of the lead
ing big farmers of the valley. He says
that the farming of large. tracts requires
experienced tractor men and that the
average garage man or ex-office man
cannot do the work.
The office boy and the business mar
suddenly placed on a farm, the same au
thority says, do not fill the bill as they
are accustomed to shorter hours and
then on the big farms the inexperienced
man cannot do the work. Many of the
young farmers who were experienced
with tractor blowing have been drafted
with the result that the extensive farm.
CT is now up against it.
Many large farming tracts of from
600 to 1000 acres will probably not be
cultivated as there is not the experienc.
ed labor to be found that can undertake
the job. There is a big demand for from
40 to so acre tracts but as each must
have d house. and barn, there ism
enough to 60 around.And hence the bis
farming tracts to some extent stand
chance of no cultivation the coming
