turned over to the City Treasurer and
all claims for salaries and wages will
be paid in cash by the treasurer. It is
believed that the new plan will great.
ly simplify the book keeping systems
of the city.
The ordinance committee was in
structed to draw an ordinance which
will provide for the renewal of all
licenses nssued by the city on the first
day of May of each year. Nominal
charge will be made for the renewal
Of the licenses and the operation Of
the plan will give the city chance to
keep tab on all people holding city IL
ceIses Of any kind.
There was lot of discussion of the
Municipal Garage. In fact the indica-
ton was that it was about as efficient
as Republican state party organiza-
ton in Georgia. While the council
did not order the garage closed up the
committee was instructed to bring a re-
port to the council at the next meet
ing and it is probable that unless real
and immediate reforms are made that
the council will abandon the garage
idea entirely and go back to the old
plan of keeping city cars in private
garages in the city.
The council ordered the city engineer
to draw up plans for the extension Of
the outlet of the main trunk sewer at
the south end of the city. Consider
able trouble has been experienced in
1.-THE operation Of the gates at the sewer
outlet and the new idea will do away
with this work.
There was the usual amount of rou-
tine business and it was close to mid
night when the council reached an ad-
journment.

'MONEY-sAvING MADE EASY
War-savings System is Explained from
ga" to "z''-order Card Accom-
panies Letter. Sign and Uncle
Sam Will Do the Rest

On Monday morning and afternoon
Uncle Sam knocked at the door of
every home in Kenosha and asked the
patriots who lived there to help him
in the gigantic task Of financing the
war for liberty and truth. No-he
didn t come in person-but he sent a
convincing "proxy" in the form of a
letter written to every loyal household
er by William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary
of the Treasury Department at Wash
ington.
The couriers of the government in
this particular instance were United
States mail-carriers. With their leath-
err pouches fairly "oozing" letter
cards marked with the government
frank they, stopped at every house on
their routes and left the personal mes
sage from Uncle Sam.
The communications might have been
entitled "Money Saving Made Easy"
inasmuch as they explained simple
but practicable method whereby every
citizen in the United States can save
money-lots of money-and at the same
time help to save his country from loss
Of national honor and international
prestige. The idea is known as the
War-Savings Plan and comprehends a
system whereby America can save the
change and win the war;
All of this is perfectly explained
in the message from Mr.. McAdo7 to
which is appended an order card for
Thrift and War-Savings Stamps. With
this torn from the letter and properly
signed the patriotic purchaser has only
to drop it in the nearest mailbok and
-presto-at the designated time the
postman delivers the stamps he has or
dered, receives the pay for them and
leaves him his Thrift-Card or Certifi-
cate properly signed and dated and en-
rolling him in the governments army
of "Sammy Savers"
The letter in its entirety reads as
follows:
IT write to ask you to help your
country.
"You can do so and also help your
self in very simple manner.
MANY of US cannot fight, but every
one of us can help by saving. Every
dollar saved and not spent on unneces-
sary things releases that amount of Ia
Dor and material to make articles for
our Army and Navy. When a dollar
that is saved is loaned to the govern
ment it is doub1y effective.
"To that end congress has authorized
the sale Of War-Savings Stamps and U.
S Thrift Stamps in denominations of
So and of Csc, respectively. Each War
Savings Stamp you buy is loan to
the u. S. government, is a direct help
to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war and is safe
and simple way to invest your savings.
"The U. S. government pledges its
entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January /, 1923
SIS stamps are sold at prices rang
ing from SAP to 1923 during 1918,
according to the month of purchase.
For each such stamp, when affixed to a
War-Savings Certificate, the United
States government viii pay you
$500 on January /, 1923 The diff
you So on January |, 1923. The diff
ference between what you pay and S.
is your interest. The rate averages
40 a year compounded quarterly.

PERKINS C. TORREY
HEADS OLD SETTLERS
Directors of the Club Promise to Put
More Pep into Entertainments
at Paddocks Lake Grounds.

at Paddocks Lake Grounds.
Perkins g. Torrey was reelected as
president of the Old Settlers Club of
Kenosha county at the annual meeting
of the Board of Directors of the club
held at the County Court House on
Monday afternoon. Charles NJ. Bishop
of the village of Bristol, was elected to
succeed himself as secretary and
Charles G. Brown was named treasurer
Reports Of the officers showed that
the "Old Settlers is in excellent
condition financially.
The usual plans were mapped out for
the public meetings of the club 30 be
held duringf the coming months. There
will be a great celebration on the
Fourth of July and the directors of the
club have voted to invite Clarence
barrow of Chicago, to be their guest
of honor at this time and make
the annual address.
Pep is to be put into the Fourth of
July celebration and the annual re-
union to be held on the last Thursday
in August by longer programs of
games and sports. Dignifed old
settlers are going to be given a chance
to run races, chase the creased pig,
climb the creased pole and do OF of
stunts which they did when they were
boys. They must contend with the
rising generation as the games and
sports are to be open for all.
A meeting of the directors will be
held early in June to make definite
arrangements for the celebration of
Independence Day and the annual
reunion.

war Savings Stamps are Non-taxable.

War Savings Stamps are Non-taxable.
When preparing for the issuing of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings Ger
tifcates, the national administration
very wisely decided that they should
not be subject to any taxes, federal,
state or local. In this respect, they are
entirely unique, being free when almost
every thing else of value is subject to
impost.
AS the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this con-
cession does not deal unjustly toward
other security holders 1t is simply an
inducement to the small investor to
make an unusual effort in his own
country s behalf, by depositing as much
of his surplus with the government as
possible. Those who buy these little
bonds-and all should do it-shOuld I'M
derstand in advance of the coming days
Of taxation returning in April that what
ever of their earned savings or surplus
derived from economies is converted in
to Thrift Stamps and War Savings GER
tifcates need not be recorded upon the
assessor IS blank. AS the interest and
principal are payable in 1928, neither
is it necessary to make mention of the
investments in the return to the income
tax collector,
They are, as stated, absolutely free
and, as they also pay 4 per cent COM
pound interest, are the best securities
that one can buy in these troubled
times.

Alderman Thomey Resigns.

Alderman Herbert Thomey who is an
active candidate for the office Of city
Treasurer has burned the bridges be-
hind him and at the meeting on Mon
day night he presented his resignation
to the council with the understanding
that it is to be effective at the close
Of the present council year. In pres
enting his resignation Alderman Tho
mey declared that he believed that he
should make possible the election of
an Alderman from the third ward at
the coming city election as he was seek
ing another office. The resignation was
accepted and the council directed the
city clerk to prepare notices for spe-
cial election to I'LL the vacancy for the
uneypired term.
Members of the council paid high tri-
butte to the work Of Alderman Thomey
on the council and deep regret was ex-
pressed by many of the aldermen at his
retirement.
Take Over ''Prang Sewers
The council voted unanimously to
take over the work of completing the
sewers Of the West side for which con-
tracts were let to Albert FL. Prang
nearly three years ago Resolutions
declaring that Prang had abandoned
these jobs were adopted by unanimous
vote of the council and the street as
sessment committee was confirmed in
its action in advertising for bids for
the completion of this work. The con
tract win be let to the lowest bidder
and the cost of the sewers in excess of
the original contract price will be col
lected from Prang and his bondsmen.
Tt is the plan of the council to have
the work on these sewers resumed Just
as early as possible and rushed to COM
pletion. Prang is alleged to have
abandoned the work ON these sewers in
June of 1917 and no work of them had
been done since that time.
Fire Teams Cost Money.
1t costs money for the fire depart
ment to hire teams during the time that
snow covered the streets. Bills present
ed to the council on Monday evening
showed that the cost of keeping teams
to pull the fire apparatus for single
month totaled close to $500. Bills to
the amount of $1100 were allowed.
These bills claimed compensation for
teams and drivers at rate Of ten dol
lars a day. The record bill was pres
ented by Charles Becke who asked from
the city 1912 for the use of a team
and driver for the period from January
9th to February 7th, The Fire Chief
refused to sanction the bill and it went
to the committee for conference. 1t is
the record bill for teaming" ever
presented to the city Some of the
members of the council declared that
the claim for the use of the horses for
the month equaled the value of the
team.
The council adopted new system for
paying salary and wage claims against
the city and after the first of May
the city will be on the budget plan -
Instead Of the issuances of a large mum
mer of pay roll checks budget will be

ALDERMAN THONEY RESIGNS
Third Warder Running for City Treas
urer Will Not Continue to Hold Place
on Council - City Declares Prang
Has Abandoned Big Sewer Jobs.

The voting machine is out of bust
ness in Kenosha again for at the meet
ing of the common council on Monday
evening the aldermen voted unanimous
ay that the machines should remain in
the basement of the city hall again this
spring and vote at the city election
will be by Australian ballot.
1T was urged that while the machines
would speed up the counting of the
Ballots that it would be difficult to use
them on account of the fact that ballot
boxes must be arranged to receive the
votes sent in by mail. There was not
the floor of the council and it now APP
pears certain that the machine as a
voting device for Kenosha will be per-
manently discarded. Nine of these ma
chimes are stored away in the base
ment of the city hall and the city has
ar investment of pretty close to six
Thousand dollars in them. Possibly in
the near future an effort will be made
to dispose of the machines.
The council meeting was disappoint-
ment on Monday evening. There was
no suggestion to raise the salary of the
Mayor and the only suggestion of sal
airy raise came in an ordinance chang
ing the salary of the Assessor to $4,000
This is not much of an increase as the
ordinance provides that the Assessor
shall out of this salary pay the cost OF
all help that he must employ during
the wear

London, March 15.-The British air
men have been doing marvellous work
recently. The first ten days of March,
as a whole, have been among the best
yet recorded for the service. During
that period, in addition to vast
amount of accommodating and photo
graphing, the Britishers destroyed
thirty-nine German airplanes and
brought down forty others out of con-
troll, despite the fact that the first two
or three days of the month were so
stormy that aerial activity was vir-
tually impossible Against this great
total fifteen British machines are re-
ported missing.
