SEEKING TRADE
ON NORTH SHORE

With the interurban cars coming
down into the city for less than a week,
leading retailers Of the city are plan
ming to establish new trala relations.
with lot of people who reside on the
North Shore road between Kenosha
and Racine who have been more or less
alienated from Kenosha on account of
the fact that the cars have stopped at
the north limits Of Kenosha while run
ming into the business district of Ra-
cine. The suggestion has been made
that joint advertising pamphlet be
sent out by the merchants of Kenosha
seeking to interest these people in Ke-
nosha as trading center. With the
interurbans running down into the city
it is going to be easier for these people
to come to Kenosha to trade than for
them just as many or more attractions
as the Racine merchants.
Cars Open Up Trade Territory.
The possibility of this new territory
for Kenosha trade which has been
opened up by the coming of the inter
urban cars appeals very strongly to
many of the merchants. Many of these
people reside in Kenosha county and it
is believed that if they can be brought
into touch with local trade centers that
county pride will bring them to Keno
sha for the future.
" Racine has pre-empted this terri
tory for several years." declared To-
cal merchant today, "for no reason but
the fact that the people could go from
their homes direct to the trading CEN
ter of Racine. I feel certain that if
these people are properly approached a
large portion Of their trade can be
brought into Kenosha, believe that
united action should be taken among
the merchants to secure this result

"There ism t much that can be said
about the health department, = said DR..
G.. Windesheim, commissioner Of public
health, this morning. 1--WE are forced
to admit that we are losing in efficiency
for lack of proper cooperation. DR..
Nelson has left us and we have been
notified that other employees Of the
department are going to leave. These
people can not afford to remain in Ke-
nosha when other places are offering to
buy their ability and experience at a
higher price. 1t is lamentable that
more official consideration is not given
to the necessity Of having the health
work in the city given every possible
consideration. [ do not believe that
the city appreciates just what is~neces-
sary in order to have a successful
health department. We need at least
two more school nurses, but the officials
lat least some of them-seem to think
that this is a fad and unworthy of the
appropriation of money from the treas
ury of the city. We can not keep the
department up to high efficiency
without support. I
Members of Board Have Same View.
The ideas Of DR.. Windesheim are
shared by the entire membership of the
board of health and it is expected that
the members will make a personal eff
fort to have members of the council see
to it that the new budget made in De.
eelnber provides an appropriation which
will be sufficient to meet the demands
of the department. for retaining the men
and women now in service and the EN-.
ployment of such aids as may be neces,
sary to maintain the efficiency Of the
department.

morning, following session Of the
board Of health on Wednesday evening
at~which time general conditions in the
department were discussed. The board
adjourned without making any definite
recommendations to the council as
members held that Of cooperation on
the part of the officials made it useless

Was Trusted Employee.

Schmitt was a trusted employee Of
the company and widely known among
the employees. He held a place of re-
sponsibility and on this account he had
little trouble in securing money on the
forged payroll checks. Both of the
checks were signed in the name of G.
S. Everett, general manager of the Ke-
nosha branch of the company and both
were cashed at the Citizens Bank. One
check was for $62.50 and the other for
$3.50. Schmitt is alleged to have left
Kenosha on Thursday afternoon shortly
after he secured the money ON the
checks. No trace has been found of
him. The report that he was sought on
so serious charge caused a sensation
among the employees of the company as
he was known as model young man
and highly regarded by the company.
Manager Everett Of the company said
that Schmitt was an electrical engineer
and draughtsman and that he had been
employed by the company for the past
several weeks. ~ We haven It the least
idea where he secured the payroll
checks he used or how many of them he
secured. The first we knew of it was
when the bank called our attention to
them. We do not know where Schmitt
went or anything about him. -
