EMBARGO ON BOXES FROM HOME
Don't Send Food to the Soldiers
and Sailors i'm Camp

Kenosha mothers, sisters, and sweet
hearts, who have been signalling the
weekend by sending a box of sweets
or eats to "their soldier-boy'' are
advised to discontinue the practice in
an order emanating from the Office OF
the State Food Administrator, Magnus
Swenson.
The manifesto reads as follows:
Don't send food to the soldiers
and sailors.
g. An abundant supply of food is
furnished the men in the camps and
environments. It is unnecessary fol
friends and relatives to send them
food.
"The aggregate quantity of food
sent by private individuals to the sol
dlers and sailors in camps and canton.
ments is enormous. Because it is un.
necessary, a large part Of it is wasted
Much Of it travels long distances in
heated express or mali cars and is
more or less spoiled and consequently
injurious to the health Of the men.
For the sake of the health of the
men, and in the interests of food con.
servation, do not send food stuffs to the
soldiers and sailors in camps and can
tonments.''
Although it will deprive many wo
men of Kenosha of doing little some
thing for loved ones who are doing 9
great deal for them, nevertheless the
order will be strictly obeyed by loca-
loyalists who appreciate the wisdom
and the justice of its warning.

MAY BUY SITE THIS YEAR
Members of Two Boards Meet With the
Police and Fire Commission and Give
Their Sanction to Building to Be
Erected After the War Is over.

Members of the County Board, Com
mon Council and the Police and Fire
Commission met at t he City Hall on
Friday night and threshed out the
plans for united action on the part
Of the city and county for the erection
Of a building to be used as a police
headquarters and Municipal Court.
The meeting was harmonious and mem
bers of both the city and county gov
erning bodies pledged their support to
it and the members of the Police anG
Fire Commission were directed to pro-
coed at once to secure options on such
sites as may be deemed suitable for
the use of the city and county for the
joint community building.
This does not mean that we are go
ing to build a police station and mu-
nicipal court building this year, de-
clared President Robinson Of the COM
mission, this morning. cit simply
means that the city and county solons
feel that step is being taken in the
right direction in uniting the energies
Of the city and county to meet a real
demand. The meeting was most har-
monious one and the county and city
representatives were convinced that
some action should be taken to secure
a suitable site. We do not expect to
even buy the site at this time but we
want to get it opened SO that we can
be in opposition to go ahead and make
plans for building which will be suit
able to the needs of the CITY and
county. There is no idea of building
anything before the war is over. There
is no idea of making any considerable
expenditure to secure the site. The plan
is simply to get better understanding
of what is to be done in the future.
Various suggestions have been made as
to what the building should and should
not contain and these matters will be
taken up later when we get ready to
have plans made. The important thing
is to get a-~site large enough for the
building which will meet require
ments -
The representatives of the city and
county will report back to the organiza-
tions to which they belong and then
these organizations will be asked to
take action on the reports. The county
board was represented at the meeting
by Chairman John P. Spartz, Super
visors Barrows, Bacon, Burg and Ter
fas. The representatives of the Com
mon Council included Aldermen Barr,
Stein, Loef and Wachs.
The conferees were anxious to have
it understood that the meeting was
only a preliminary one and that no
plans for the proposed bui. Ting had
been made or would be made until after
the war is over.

GET ANNUAL AUDIT
OF COUNTY BOOKS

The Board of Supervisors spent most
Of the day today hearing the annual
statistical report of Charles I'll. Kinke,
auditor for the county. Tine report
went into detail as to the various
funds and every fund of the county
was shown to be in excellent condition.
There were few criticisms except in
regard to minor claims against the
county and the auditor made no sug-
gestions for changes in the present
bookkeeping methods Of the county.
The audit will be published as a part
of the proceedings of the county board.
On Friday afternoon the BOARD had
scrappyo session when an assault
was made on the Training School com
mittee. The assanlt-to use military
terms broke down under concerted
FIRE and by a vote Of IL to 6 it was
decided that the committee named at
the session of the Board last Noyem-
Der would continue in service and it
was given power to act in connection
with the selection of a series of plans
for the proposed building.
The other matter of interest at the
session on Friday afternoon was The
failure of special committee to re-
port on the plan for the employment of
county nurse. The committee was
discharged and it is probable that the
matter will be laid over until the next
meeting of the board following the
spring elections. The members of the
board were hopeful that the January
sessions would be completed today but
it is possible that session will be
held on Monday.

Postmaster German is Fsmiles" this
morning for he was able to send five
more Kenoshans to Great Lakes to
swell the all ready large honor roll
of the city at that training camp. The
sudden revival of volunteering came
on Friday when the five men listed
above applied to be sent to the navy.
They are all "likely good strapping
fellows according to the statement
of Postmaster German and there is
every reason to believe that they will
pass the physical examination easily
and soon be on their separate ways to
help win the war.
Postmaster German wishes that this
may prove the start of revived interest
in recruiting He stated this morning
that the rumor now prevalent that
volunteering was closed was incorrect
and that enlisting was closed only to
men listed in the draft and that these
might be indicted into service by ap-
