not IN extent to the larger cities. One
Of the things that is bound to be done
IN city building is the waste of money.
Money will be spent for extraordinary
expenses and not for the running of the
city. He then cited Paris as an exam
pie and stated that. that city had ex-
pended $2s0,o00,000 in making the
city beautiful
There is competition between cities
In an industrial way and it should be
your business to look out for sufficient
ground for housing as well as sites for

transportation. This touches upon the
question of coming which will stabilize
values. You may go to some cities and

by the encroachments of the factories.
" We should plan so that these things
should be permanent and not have to

size and should mould a silhouette

"A park system and system of

should be established at each school.

Kenosha will have no tendency to desert
the city just because big nationwide
strike may force the elimination of
some Of the working opportunities here.
These men know that Kenosha will be
the first city to come out of industrial
stagnation and that they will be back
earning quicker in Kenosha than in
any other place.
Every single move than can be made
will be made to keep Kenosha men
at work and to keep raw material COM
ing into Kenosha.
The steel strike, paralyzing plants
in other cities may result in an influx
of workmen from other cities to Ke-
nosha, but the men who have stood by
the FORCES and the machines in Kenosha
factories may rest assured that their
places will not be vacated with view
of putting to work stragglers from
other cities.
Theza may be period of enforced
idleness. 1t is to be hoped that this
period in Kenosha will not be an ex-
tended one. The men will be given
the assurance that if it is necessary to
lay them off that they will be put back
to work just the minute it is possible
for normal operation of plants.
There will be few factories in Ke-
nosha not affected in any. way by the
steel strike, but prolonged deadening
of the GREAT furnaces ia certain tn hriur
more or less of stagnating affect on
all the industries here.
Just take the common sense view of
things stand by Kenosha and her big
plants and remember that the men who
own these big plants are going to stand
by you. Don It desert now! just wait
a little while and don t rock the boat.
Kenosha plants have kept the chimneys
burning for long time and they are
certain to see to it that the least pos
sible time be lost by the men.

to these sales.
II the grocers of Kenosha could have
free rent, and lot of free labor, they
too could cut their prices way down.
The way to break the present level
Of prices is not for the government and
cities to go into all kinds of enter
prices for which they are not adapted.
The real way is by general cam
paign for fair dealing, for lowered
prices, for close margins Of profit and
reasonable wages for labor. 1t will
take the cooperation Of all the people
and if all the people take hold in earn
est, the thing can be done.

The flag that floated over the capitol
building at Washington when Congress
declared war on Germany will be pre-

while the president was making his
plea before Congress for war on Ger

carried story telling of the return
home of Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
from Europe. The dispatch said:
When Gompers set foot on Amer

1t was a sincere display of emotion.
Gompers was feeling beneath his feet
the soil of the country that gave him
asylum-the soil of a country that
gave him opportunity to rise through
his own unaided efforts from a humble
cigar maker to the greatest labor
leader in the world.
Gompers Is behind the Victory Lib

is for America. Here is what he saws

GRAY WOLF WILL BE EXTERN MATED IN
 TWO YEARS IN UTAH

SALT LAKE CITY, April 5.-The gray wolf, responsible for large per centage of cattle and sheep losses in the western part of the country, will be exterminated in Utah within two years, and the western states will be freed of the animal within five years, through the campaign against preda- tory animals now being conducted by the United States department of agri- culture. This is the opinion of Dr. A. K Fisher, in charge of the depart ment, given during recent visit t. this city
 Dr. Fisher said there were about 100 gray wolves left in Utah He es- timated that each such wolf destroys s1O0O worth of stock annually Dr. Fisher says that s95,OOO was paid the government for hide sOf predatory an- finals last year and that the various states received almos ta like amount. He declares that s4,OOOOOO worth of wool and meat and S1O,OOO, 900 worth of grain and produce were saved last year through the killing of predatory animals
 Sheep and cattle can be turned out on the range in places where it for merly was impossible before the de- structiOn of predatory animals by government trappers and various boards. according to pr.

 L. Vogelstein & Co, representing Aron Hrisch & Sehn, traded in metals and were practically the only metal concern in the United States that i'm ported ores, mainly from South America. The concern had an cleo trolytic copper refinery in Chrome, N J., with capacity of 3,000,0 pounds month. The name of the refinery now is the United States Smelling & Refining Go. yogeIstein had the exclusive selling agency for ten years, organizing the International Metals Selling Co.
