III COULDN'T BE DONE-so HE DID IT

III COULDN'T BE DONE-SO HE DID III
Somebody said that it couldn't be done;
But he, with a chuckle, replied,
That Maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckeld right in with a trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
Somebody scofed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least, no one ever has done it."
But he took off his coat, and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew, he'd begun it;
With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done;
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point to you, one by one.
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
And take off your coat and go to it.
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That couldn't be done"-and you'll do it,

tinue his journey when the car reached
Kenosha.

BURGLARS RANsAcK HoMEq
Kenosha Family Returning from Party
at Somers Believe Home is Being
Burglarized and Send in Alarm.

When one Kenosha family returned
from party at Somers Sunday even
ing, or rather, early Monday morning,
they were certain that burglars were
ransacking their home for lights blazed
in every room. An alarm was sent in
and two policemen fastened out only
to be told at the end Of their fruitless
search that one of the boys recollected
that he had forgotten to turn the
lights out before starting.
The party which this family had at
tended was given at the Edquist farm
In Somers, in honor of Roy and Iver
Edquist who have just been released
from the service. All the Kenosha rel
atives were there Ell masse and there
were scores Of relatives and friends re-
siding on neighboring farms.
The big barn was riotous with au-
tumn flowers and foliage and the young
people "tripped the light fantastic
to the strains Of local orchestra. An
elaborate supper was served at mid
night. Dancing was then resumed and
held full sway until the early hours OF
the morning.

Well Known Leader of DEM
ocrats of County Announc-
ed He Will Again Seek
the Nomination.
IS ASSURED OF SUPPORT
Party Leaders Are Declared To Recog-
nize His Claims for Consideration and
Strong Campaign viii Be Made
To Land Him In the Office.

The primary campaign Of 1920 in
Kenosha county is not going to be lack
ing III the usual feature Of campaigns
in Kenosha county in recent years, as
Andrew Anderson announced this morn
ing that he would again be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
sheriff. He has announced that he is
going to be in the campaign early and
late and that he is going to make a
determined effort to present his cause
to the people Of the county.
{. want the people to know that /
am going to be candidate for the
Derupcratic nomination for sheriff Mr..
Anderson told the Evening News this
morning. II have been candidate
before and have got enough experience
of working in the primary to know
just what is demanded of me and |
am going to be in the race to the finish.
| know that / have lot of friends in
the county who have been loyal to me
in the past and / am assured Of their
loyal support in this new campaign.
Andrew Anderson is one Of the best
known men of Kenosha and his long
connection with Anderson Park has
given him wide acquaintance in both
the city and the county. He has been
active in the affairs of the Democracy
of the county and it is said that lead
ers of the party recognize the fact that
he has real claim for their support.
A number of these leaders have already
declared that they will actively aid his
candidacy for the nomination.
1t is certain that the primary cam
paign in Kenosha is going to be on in
full swing before the opening of the
new year as allignments are now being
made and it is expected that candi-
dates for practically every Office on
the ticket, both in the ranks Of the
Republicans and Democrats, will have
announced their candidacy before that
! time. With 6 presidential campaig
just in the offing the local candi-
dates are going to get their claims to
the people before the national candi-
dates begin to absorb all the interest
in the campaign.

Pershing Philosophy.

~ don t let anything worry me, =
says General Pershing. ~ do good
day s work, and when it is finished
60 to bed. And what is more, I go to
sleep'
More words from the wise. General
Pershing has plenty of things to wor-
Inv him if he were of mind to let them.
While he was abroad he must have car
ried heavy mental burdens. He might
have worried himself into his grave.
here must have been many a day when
he could not accomplish the thing that
seemed vital. 1t took courage to send
his young men by the thousand into
the apparently hopeless mazes of the
Argonne Forest, to know how they fell
like grain before the reaper at Cha
teau Thierry. It is not easy to determ-
inc that brave men must die.
Waiting for supplies that never came
must have tried his patience and his
nerve more times than history will tell
Every decision he made was freighted
with responsibility.
Besides all this tax upon him as a
soldier he has personal sorrows of the
kind which tend to pull the eyes wide
open in the dark. Yet here is his phil
osophy:
To refrain from worry; to do good
day work, and at the end Of it, go
to bed and to sleep.
It is master recipe for insomnia.
Some Of the nervous people who com
plain of wakefulness should study it
carefully. It is creed of deliberate
intention, and what is more, anybody
who chooses to live by it can do so.

Thrift Lessons Continue.

The interest in thrift and the pur-
chase of the little thrift stamp which
is such handy investment for small
savings is not to be allowed to perish
from the life of the school child Just
because the war is over. Regular les
sons in thrift. in economical buying and
systematic saving, are a part now of
most school courses.
Instances showing the waste of ma.
tional resources. of oil, gas, lumber and
coal, so appalling to the mind of the
mature thinker, are to be used as ex-
amples in the education of the chill
dren now in school. The coming gen
erations Of Americans are not to be
noted the world around for reckless
extravaganza as have their forebears.
There is no danger that they will
swing to the opposite extreme of mis-
erliness, for spending is the thing they
are, to be spending which COW
ers all necessities and legitimate pleas
ures, and provides for that little cor
ner Of the future which belongs only
to the man who has put aside part of
his income regularly for that purpose.
AS nation, Americans are far be-
hind in the teaching as in the practice
of true economy The thrift lessons,
the saving to buy the stamps which rep
resent thrift, are among the best things
the modern child will learn.

VIM. e. Blizzard of New
York Widely Known AS
Palmer of Cities Confers
With Kenosha Men.
HAS NO PLAN TO OFFER CITY

William E. Blizzard of New York,
widely known as a landscape architect
both in this country and Europe, was in
kenosha on Thursday afternoon and
will return later in the week with
view of reviving the interest in city
planning for Kenosha. During his stay
in Kenosha on Thursday he met in
formally several of the leaders in the
movement to have definite city plan
made for the city. Mr.. Blizzard has
been active as lecturer in the field of
better planned cities and better
planned estates for some years and his
services have been sought by many
leading cities of the country.
~ have no plan to offer Kenosha, =
he said in an interview. II am just
here to see what is going on and see
to what extent Kenosha might be in
terested in my line of work. / would
be pleased to have chance to talk
with the people of the city and show
them some of the wonderful develop
ments in cities both in this country
ana ABROAD as q result OF united eH0ft
for city planning. / know that Keno
sha has started in this work and
know that if the city has been advised
by DR.. John Nolens that it has had ex
ceIlent advice Kenosha has wonderful
possibilities and I believe that the
people should realize this fact and
make provision to take advantage of
them to the fullest extent. =
During his stay in Kenosha Mr.. Biz
Gard met with several men who are
planning the opening up of a large
subdivision and it is possible that his
services may be utilized in the laying
out Of this subdivision as a model
homes subdivision.

Newspapers and magazines are full
of house plans. A few Of these are
surprisingly good. Many are mediocre
many surprisingly bad.
There are plans for all tastes and all
purses. The tiny bungalow for one or
two business women may be as delight.
full and comfortable as the many room
ed mansion. The home for the couple
with the little, growing family is of
myriad variations. Each to his taste,
to his needs, to his pocketbook, may
find satisfaction.
But there are few little kinks to
the actual living in house which a
wise architect offers for reflection:
ThaJAouse with front door opening
direcf7k into living room is deprived
of privacy and comfort. The trades
man, the casual caller, even the invited
guest, is made as uncomfortable as the
family by walking directly from the
doorstep into the center Of the family
life. Drafts, m I'D, dust and noise are
also admitted.
The living room with stairway in
it can never be a restful room. 1t may
be beautiful room in many ways.
But the lines Of the stairway cannot
be wholly harmonized with the lines Of
a room intended for quiet peace.
The hallway into which the front
door opens, and from which the stair
way runs, may be "old-fashioned -
may be called waste space. But it
means comfort privacy, even tempera-
ture, cleanliness and restfulness in the
living room.
The lavatory on the ground floor
where the school-child and the guest
may clean up before a meal or the
housewife may perk up bit on her
way from pulling carrots in the back
yard to welcoming the minister s wife
on The front porch, is always worth
its space and cost. So is the coat
closet.
These may sound like little things,
but they are worth the prospective
home-builder $ respectful consideration.

FAIR BOARD BUDGET
AND FORESTRY PARED
Ways And Means Committee
Recognized importance OF
Child Welfare Work.

The state fair board had about ope-
fourth of the money it asked for cut off
at the meeting held last evening by the
joint ways and means committee Of the
senate and house, although Senator Pat
terson earnestly asked for a more lib
eral treatment for the state fair
In the proposed budget the fair board
had asked for $4,000 for the compile
tion Of the coliseum and this included
seating that would cost about $4,000.
But with the feeling that every pos
sible dollsr had to be shaved off some
where, Senator Patterson was willing
TO reduce the coliseum estimate to $780,
900. This was not quite deep enough
cut for other members Of the committee
and finally it was placed tentatively at
$4,000.
The item of $4,000 for painting build
i1gs at the fair grounds was entirely
cut out. With the extremely high price
of paint just at present and labor also,
the committee thought the buildings
