School Boys AT Silver
Lake On That Day.
BASE BALL GAME FEATURED

cials From the Two Cities Will Make
Trip To Picnic Grounds and Have
Part In the Days Program.

The official0 picnic, the one great
big event in the life Of the aldermen
for the year is going to take place on
next Thursday afternoon when His
Honor and the Members of the Com
mon Council and everyone else wear
ing an official badge will hurry away
from the city and get out to Silver
Lake for big dom g. This picnic this
year IS going to be more interesting

Racine Common Council who have new
er fraternalized to any extent with Ke-
nofna' s City Dads, are going to loosen
up this year and join with them in the
picnic and it is even given out that the
Mayor OF Racine will give up his ar
dent duties for one day and frolic like
a boy on the banks of Silver Lake. The
plans for the picnic have not been full
~ worked cut but two features are an
nounced. One is a chicken dinner to
De served at the hotel at six O'Clock
IN the evening and the other is a base
ball game between the Racine and
Kenosha city officials which promises
to develop the hunger necessary to
make the band of officials hurry to the
dining room. One committee is busy
laying out plan of sports and games
which are to be pulled off during the
afternoon in manner not to Interfere
with the ball game, and it is expected
that Racine and Kenosha will be pitted
against each other in these games.
There are going to be lot of prizes

two cities.
The automobiles which are to take

PROSPECTS BRIGHT
FOR SOLDIER BONUSES
State Senate Passes Bill Allowing Ten
Dollars for Each Month in Service
and Provides Direct Taxation.

The chance Of every man in Ke-
nosha county who served in the army
receiving ten dollars for every month
he served as a token Of the apprecia-
ton of the State Of Wisconsin was ma
terially frightened on Tuesday when
the senate passed the Huber bill proyid-
ing that the state raise $15,000,000 by
direct taxation to pay these bonuses to
the soldiers. The vote in the senate
indicated that the bill was much in
favor.
Kenosha men were in favor today of
showing the appreciation Of the state
to its men who served but officials
WINGED little at the suggestion that
it be done by direct taxation. Under
the provisions of the bill the county
of Kenosha would contribute to the
fund $4,000 and this would mean a
tax on the people of Kenosha of close
to five mills in addition to the reg
ular tax levy. Many Kenosha people
have declared themselves willing 70 paw
this tax if it be necessary to haze the
state give proper recognition to the
men who served.
The bill is to so to the sssmhfy at
once and it Is said that tLere is good
reason to believe that it will be pass
ed. Meantime men IN Kenosha who
wore the khaki are hoping that the bill
will become a law and that they will
be able to have the ten for every
month they served.

take every man who has been fortunate
enough to get an invitation to the pic
mic. Mayor Joachim is already busy
organizing his baseball team for the
big game and he promises, if it becomes
necessary, to go on the mound himself
and pitch the game. 1t looks like Thurs
day will be the last big day for the
official picniekers. It is admitted that
there was method in arranging the pic
ME for the next to the last Thursday
in June rather than the first Thurs

Through County Districts
and City Wards.
EADS STATE IN THE WORK
Highway Commissioner Herzog An
nounces That Big Labor Is Completed
and That Roads Are Marked
TO Meet Demands Of Law.
County Highway Commissioner John

County Highway Commissioner John
Herzog announced today that Kenosha
County had completed the work of
properly marking the trunk highway

more than six hundred triangles point
ing the way to travellers have been
placed on telephone and telegraph
poles throughout the county and in the
city Throughout the county four signs

and within the city districts the state
roads have been marked with two tri-
angles III each block covered. High
ways so and IL are now fully marked

tourist losing his way in his trip
through this county.
This work has been done in keeping
with the provisions of the Wisconsin
statute and it is declared that Kenosha
county is one of the first if not the
first county in the state to properly

work is being pushed in other counties

BREAK GROUND
FOR new SCHOOL
Excavations For the McKin-
ley School On East Side
Are Well Under Way
Today.
TO EXPLAIN DIFFERENCES
Finance Committee of Council TO Meet
With Building Committee Of School
Board This Evening" To Go over the
Figures On the Contract.

sa,lv work of building the new Mo
KinIey school on Norman avenue is
started. Excavations for the building
are underway and the contractors
have agreed to rush the work Of build
ing the school with all possible speed
In hopes that 1t may be ready some
time in the spring Of 1920.
While funds have not as yet been
provided to meet the payments on the
contract, it is believed that the Board
Of Education will have funds enough
to take care of calls until the
money has been received from the
school bonds recently sold and it is
expected that the Mckinley bonds will
be sold so that the money will be
available by the first of October or
possibly before that time.
IT is expected that misunderstood
ings between the members of the Board
of Education and the Common Council
will all be cleared away at a meeting
scheduled to be held this evening at
which time the members of the build
ing committee of the board will meet
with the finance committee Of the
council to go over the figures submitted
to the school board by Madsen and
Petersen who were awarded the gener-
al contract for the Mckinley school,
~ feel certain, y said one Of the
members of the school board this morn
ing, that an examination Of these
figures showing the difference in the
cost of labor and materials will con.
vince every member Of the council that
the board acted wisely in making this
contract and that the making of it un-
der the circumstances will save the
city of Kenosha considerable amount
of money. The board wants the mem
bers of the council to know everything
connected with the letting of this con
tract in order that every possible OBJ
lection may be removed. With the
people voting in very large majority
for this school we want to have the
Plans sanctioned by the people carried
ont without the suggestion of friction
between the school board and the
council. The need of the Mckinley
school is acute and it is the desire Of
the board to have it completed just as
rapidly as possible II.
Contractors for the two schools are
having trouble securing all the labor
needed for the buildings and work is
being delayed little on account of
the labor shortage.
With big increase in the number
of residences being built in the city
and with the vast amount of public i'm
provements under way, the securing of
building labor is the biggest problem
that the contractors are forced to meet
1t is said that there has been little
trouble in securing materials for the
two buildings.

AEREOPLANE TRANSIT
FOR THE LAKE SHORE
49,
Lawson airline transportation Com
pany Will Soon Open Passenger }
Liue'' Over Kenosha.


Early in July residents Of the Lake
Shore cities between Milwaukee and
Chicago viii see a giant green bird fly
ing through the air at the rate of 100
miles and hour. This new aeroplane,
which viii soon be flying over Keno
sha, was built by Alfred w. Lawson,
and viii be the first of number to
be built for passenger service in the
very near future.
Mr.. Lawson is head of the Lawson
Airline transportation Company, big
concern that is backed up by Milwau-
kee bushes smen and is formed for the
purpose of handling passengers in large
numbers. The new ship designed and
built by Mr.. Lawson will be in the
air in about three weeks and she will
carry twenty-six passengers. Her first
flight will be from Milwaukee to Chi
eago and she will then fly east to
New York. AT New York she will
pick mp passengers for San Francisco
and intermediate cities and will make
the trip from New York to SanFrancis-
go in SO hours.
In an interview with newspaper
man on Saturday, Mr., Lawson said;
" These twenty-six passenger ships are
only baby ships We are now design
ing ships that will carry a larger mum
Der of passengers, so that after we
have operated a certain length of time
with these 26 passenger ships, and the
public is ready for bigger ships, we
will have them in operation. Within
five years there will be line crossing
the ocean,.
q. W. Croft, the Zion City newspa-

of the state and it is expected that
BY the end Of the present summer prac-
tieally every one of the roads in the
state known as state trunk highways
will bear the triangle marks pointing
the way from city to city.
The work in Kenosha county has
been done by experts and it is declar-
ed to be the best job of road marking
ever done in Wisconsin.
1t is believed that at the next SEES
sion Of the county board some steps
will be taken to provide for distinctive
marking Of all the roads in the county
with the understanding that the mark
ing viii be uniform with that followed
on the trunk highways.

cannibals and Bolshevists.

We are familiar with stories Of UNI
happy Puritan children who had to
learn Psalms and read their Bibles long
hours at a time as penance for their
shortcomings; but for an African Can
nibal Chief to punish his flock by MAX
ing them to build a Christian church is
something new in the story of religion.
A chief in the Belgian Congo had
been ordered to stop cannibalism among
his people. He published the edict,
but the tribe did not obey. At the old
chief Is order the offenders were
brought before him. He delivered a
stern lecture on the evils of eannibal-
ism, telling them that love for one IS
fellowmen should be shown otherwise
than by eating him, and that as pen
atty for their disobedienee they had
to build a church for the missionary
who had come to show them the error
Of their ways, and develop in them a
taste for religion rather than for the
man who expounds it.
The same idea might we'll be work
ed out in this country, the persons
found guilty Of anarchist or Bolshevist
leanings being made to erect the
schools wherein they are to learn
Americanism and the prisons and gal
lows for those whose wanton destruc-
tion of their fellowmen by bomb and
dynamite has not nearly 50 much to be
said in extenuation of it as has the
cannibal's slaughter for dietary rea-
sons.

SEEK MIL WAUKEE BOYS
WITH MONEY AND AUTOS
Heart Broken Mothers Ask Kenosha
Police to Search for Boys Who
Ran Away from Home.

Chief Of Police o 'Hare this morning
received letter signed by "three
heart broken mothers asking him to
make an effort to get some trace of
Max Heintze, Harry Zeman and Frank
Baeschke, all school boys, who disap-
peared from Milwaukee. The boys
drove away in a Ford car and the moth
ers say that they had thirty dol
lars between them. It is thought pos
sible that they, may have come to Ke-
nosha, but no trace of them has as yet
been found here. The letters state
that there is no charge against the
boys in Milwaukee and they are sought
only with view of relieving the anx-
iety of their mothers.
