nesses but Mr.. Melville ruled this as
outside his province. Others brought
up the plans of different cities of
Wisconsin and the State Administrators
agreed that any of these might be
changed to meet the local conditions
provided they forced the persons who
received it to pay for service.
There was also advocated by several
of the merchants plan for a deduction
for cash and carry from the set price
rather than a charge for delivery. This
could be worked out gradually and
prices might be based still on a cash
basis. The old plan of one delivery
free was still the favorite with many
of the grocers and it is possible that it
will receive some consideration by the
committee. For while there was dan
ger that the meeting might not take
any action and Mayor Pfennig in a
short talk urged the dealers to place
themselves on record in some way to
clear up the situation.
The committee to which the matter
is now referred by the unanimous vote
of the dealers who attended the meet
ing is the same committee which fixed
the prices and submitted the plan for
leash and carry which caused such
a Juror in the Monday night meeting.
Retail grocers and meat dealers are on
the committee together with whole
salers and members of that County
Council of Defense. They are to take
into consideration the facts brought out
in the meetings of the dealers and to
temper their new law accordingly.
Following the discussion of the plans
of the Food Administration, the gro
GERS and butchers voted unanimously
that on to-day and every one of the
subsequent nine "heatless Mondays'
all groceries and meat markets would
close at twelve noon. For the eonserva-
tion of fuel they also agreed that on
every week night except Saturday all
stores would close at seven clock and
that they would be closed all day Sun
day. This is to be effective whether
extra fuel is needed to heat the place
IF business or not.
The meeting on Sunday afternoon, in
spite of considerable discussion, was
a love feast compares with the tefur-
flying" episode of Monday evening.
The dealers voted unanimously on
every question and seemed to be agreed
to follow the regulations Of the food
administrator in whatever the COM
mlttee should deem best. The action
OF the dealers met with the approval
OF Administrator Bullamore and he is
now confident that plan can be work
ed out soon which will be of mutual
benefit to the dealer and the consumer.

MADISON
WOULD BE ALDERMAN
First Petition is Taken Out by EN-
bryomic Alderman of the Ninth
Ward Saturday Evening.

If Gus Hoppe wants to hang on to
his aldermanic star out in the ninth
ward for another two years he is go
ing to have to fight for it. Mathew
Madison on Saturday afternoon took
out petitions as a candidate for alder
man in the ward and he is lining up his
friends for battle at the primary.
Alderman Hoppe has not as yet made
a formal announcement of his candi-
dacy. It is expected that lot of
political announcements will be forth
coming after the meeting of the coun-
ell this evening. Other petitions is
sued by City Clerk Harrington on
Saturday evening were for the nomina-
ton of Nicholas j. Roders for county
supervisor IN the seventh ward and
Peter Elsen for county supervisor in
the eighth ward. They are at present
holding these positions on the County
Boad. 1t is expected that the call for
the petitions for the members of the
Socialist part will be made within a
few days as it is understood that the
Socialists in Kenosha are thoroughly
organized and that they are anxious
to increase their representation on the
city governing boards.

COUNTY BOARD
PUTS ON A STRING
Will Cooperate With the City in Build
ing Municipal Court if Present
Site of court is Utilized.

The County Board tied string on
the plan for cooperation with the City
Council in the building of a police
headquarters and municipal court
building on Saturday afternoon at the
closing melting of the January session
when the board went on record as be
ing willing to continue negotiations to
the end in view only with the under
standing that the building when built
should be erected on the site now oc-
cupied by the municipal court building.
The supervisors held that there was
ample room there to take care of any
building that might be needed for the
purposes. The members held that if
necessary the old county jail could be
abandoned and the entire three quart
ers of block used for the proposed
new building. The idea did not meet
with unanimous favor of the members
of the board. It is not improbable
that the decision Of the County Board
viii have a tendency to halt the
cornell in the consideration of the
matter at the meeting scheduled for
this evening.

gest curse-t the delivery. It costs re-
tailers of Wisconsin rs per cent of
their entire gross income to take care
of this delivery. With the reduction
of the demand for service on the re-
tail merchant we want to get redue-
ton of prices to the consumer. If
merchants do not aid us in this move
ment we shall be forced to force their
compliance with these regulations. We
are making the appeal to them as
business men and as patriots first. The
war has gone far enough now for any
intelligent man to get out of the idea
that Cuisines is going along as usu-
all. Business is not going along as
usual. 1t must be done under unusual
conditions and the business man him
self must be part of these new con
ditions if he hopes to remain in bust
ness. We want the merchants to know
that the prices fixed in any community
are going to give to the retailer rea-
sonable profit. We are fixing prices
only on necessities. If people want
luxuries our advice to the retailer is
Soak him and we do not care how
hard they soak you. But when it comes
to the necessities of life the prices
must be kept Ia place where the men
of average income may live and they
must be sold at price that will let the
merchant have a fair profit.
Mr.. Melville told something of new
plans of the conservation commission.
"Within a few days., he continued,
ga new order will be issued. It will
provide for wheatless Mondays and
Wednesdays and a wheatless meal
every day in the week. The meatless
Tuesday will be supplemented by a
porkless Saturday. We expect these
orders to be obeyed by the people and
if they viii not obey them they will
be forced to obey them until the peo-
pie viii think they are in Germany.
An order compelling bakers to buy a
pound of mixed flour with every four
pounds of white -four sold them is be-
ing prepared and this order viii be
extended to the homes We expect
these orders to be obeyed but as a
last resort the food commission in this
country viii enforce them just as the
orders of a similar nature have been
enforced in European Countries.
Mr.. Melville asked the support of the
Council of Defense to the movement in
Kenosha county and it was unanimous
ly given. The members discussed vari-
Gus plans for conservation of food but
reached the decision that the plans
which have been offered by the state
food administrator and now in force
in many cities of the state was the
best possible form in which to demand
this conservation.

BURKE BACKS DEALERS
IN CLOSING PLANS
Committee Receives Sanction of Fuel
Administrator Burke for Closing
Stores to Meet Fuel Situation.

cit is a good patriotic move and
am willing to back it to the fullest ex-
tent of my power'', said Fuel Admin
istrator Burke this morning to the
committee of grocers and bakers who
were appointed at the Sunday meeting
to confer with him relative to the
rules passed at the Sunday afternoon
meeting for closing of the stores to
meet the fuel situation.
Mr.. Burke pointed out that the pow
er he now had would not allow him to
prosecute for failure to keep the pro-
visions but that such men as disobey-
ed the ruling would be kept account
of and their record fled at Madison
to be against them in case the power
Of the administrator should be increas-
ed. Meanwhile the matter will be
taken up Immediately with State Ad-
ministrator Fitzgerald and his attitude
learned on the question.
The new rule, which all patriotic
grocers and meat dealers have agreed
to follow provides that their places of
business will be closed on every week
day except Saturday all day Sunday.
day at seven o'clock in the evening.
The new order received this morning
by Administrator Burke makes it i'm
perative that stores close at noon on
the ''heatless Mondays" and the
twelve-thirty provision in the deal
IS resolution was therefore thrown
in the discard.

The way that the big industries of
the United States responded to the
fuel order-an order which practically
all of them held wal unnecessary and
altogether too drastie-is just an IL
dieation of the way in which America

shown by the men who work for wages
and the men who direct these indus
tries is the brightest spot in the war

The real patriot is not worrying much
over the fact that the city is not col
lecting the garbage. Men and women
who have the whole hearted interest in
conservation that they should have,
find little to go .1to a garbage can.
They find that what must be thrown
away makes an excellent substitute
for fuel.
