FARMER, LABORER AND
PROPRIETOR

The typical farmer has every rea-
son to be opposed to bolshevik radi-
calism Though he works with his
hands and Is laborer in the most
literal sense, he is also proprietor
ia capitalist Il yon please-and an
employer OF labor. AS a consumer he
anturally favors reasonable prices for
commodities in general as a seller OF
products he as inevitably deplores in
dustrial disturbance affecting the
prosperity Of the market, and as an
employer he is out of sympathy with
abnormally high wages and unreason-
ably shortened hours. The agrlcul-
turlsts who form nearly third OF
our population, are and have need to
be loyal 70 established institutions,
are and have need to be conserve

TO demand its early repeal along
with other special taxes against GER

Commenting on the situation the
Wall street Journal says:
The theory Of the excess profits

be drawn into the national treasury
and a high production of essential
goods maintained. The originators

GIRL SCOUTS TO CAMP.
Plans are Made for Camp to be Located
at Paddocks Lake and
Hundred are Expected.

At the meeting Of the Girl Scout s
executive council held on Tuesday
evening plans were completed for
wonderful camp for the members Of
the organization. 1t is to be located
at Paddocks Lake and the dates set
are from August 14th to August 2Sth.
The camp will be in charge of Miss
Novak and there will be room to take
care of all the members of the organi-
zation. Already sixty of the members
have announced their intention to be at
the camp for a portion Of the time.
A program of unusual interest will be
arranged for the fortnight.
At the meeting it was formally voted
that the Kenosha organization shall be
affiliated with the national organiza-
ton of the Girl Scouts and applica-
ton has been made for charter. Just
as soon as this is received the $1,000
offered to the Girl Scouts from the
Patriots Fund will be available and it

ment of the work of the organization

Minimum Wage Order Will
Bring Increase In Wages
To Many Clerks In Ke-
nOsha Stores.
NO TINE CHANGES NEEDED
Kenosha Stores viii Not Need To
Change Hours TO Meet Law-Many
Kenosha stores Are Now Far Above
Minimum Wage Set BY Order.

Many women clerks in Kenosha
stores are to profit by the recent
minimum wage order handed down by
the Industrial Commission following
the report of the Advisory Wage
Board. The new law is to become eff
fective on the first of August and the
stores of Kenosha are making prepare
tions to put the law into effect with
whatever changes that may be nee
essary.
A canvas of the main stores of Ke-
nosha this morning showed that there
We're many where no changes-or at
the most very fewwould be neces-
sary. At the Barden store practically
all of the clerks are now receiving the
minimum wage of twenty two cents an
hour or eighteen or twenty cents for
apprentices through the cooperative
system which is in operation there.
Much the same condition exists at the
y. Gottlieb Company and at the other
department stores Of the city. At the
WoolWorth I" FIVE and ten orders have
come down from headquarters instruct
ing the manager to boost the scale to
meet the law and substantial increases
will be given to the clerks here.
In many Of the northern Wisconsin
cities the wages Of clerks have been
so low that the merchants are planning
to change the times of opening the
stores in order to meet the require
ments of the new order. In Manitowoe
the stores may decide to open at nine
0 CLOCK and close at five in order to
keep wages lower and to meet the re-
quirements Of the law at the same time.
Such a step as this was suggested to
Kenosha merchants, but in each case it
was pointed out that this was not
planned for the immediate future.
The fact that the law does not require
"a maximum of forty eight hours dur
ing the week but still permits women
and permit workers to work fifty five
hours week, if only one night week
is used, clarifies the situation very
greatly. If the contemplated eight
hour day and forty eight hour week had
been passed, considerable changes of
schedule would have been necessary
in Kenosha.

TEACHERS HAVE GRAVE FEARS.
Veto of Governor Shows Up Condition
Of Teachers Retirement Fund
Into Which Many Pay.

Teachers in the schools of the city to
the number Of a hundred and fifty, were
considerably disturbed today on ac-
count of statements given out ON Tues
day by Governor Philip when he We
toed amendments to the teachers pen
sion bill. In his statements the Gov
ernor held that the condition Of the
fund was such as to demand immediate
attention from the state officials. An
even one hundred and fifty teachers in
the schools Of Kenosha have been reg
ular contributors to this retirement
fund since 1911 and the payments of
these teachers to the fund in 1918 1919
totaled $1,567.52. Some of the teach
ers have paid under protest, holding
that the law demanding that they pay
a portion Of the earnings to the fund
is unfair to them. Older teachers have
been willing to pay into the fund with
the expectation of an early chance to
claim the annuities offered. Governor
Philip in vetoing the bills in question,
made a considerable statement as to
his opinion of the fund.

Sam Auster Unveils a Mon
ument In the Jewish Gene
terry To His Brother, the
Late Harry Auster,
cHILDRED ARE NOT PRESENT
Brother Regrets the Fact That He Is
the Only Member of the Family Of
the Deceased Who Attended
the Last Rites.

An epilogue to the tragedy surround
ing the death Of the late Harry Auster
was staged in the Jewish cemetery on
Tuesday afternoon when a monument
was unveiled to his memory by his
brother, Sam Auster, formerly Of De-
troit, Michigan, but now a resident
of Kenosha.
The strangely impressive ceremonial
was conducted by the Rev. M Hart
mann, pastor of the Bnai Zedek
Congregation, of which Harry Auster
was a member.
In the presence Of Sam Auster and a
few near friends of the deceased, the
rugged grey slab lettered in gold was
formally dedicated to the memory of
the onetime wealthy contractor and
real-estate dealer, who was shot to
death by his wife on the evening of
January 23rd, 1919. Appropriate
speeches were made by Sam Auster,
Rabbi Hartmann and other friends
Of the dead man.
Sam Auster was visibly affected by
the rites. He expressed deep regret at
the pntimely death Of his brother and
also at the fact that none of his child
rem were present at the conservation
of his tomb stone.
The monument, which now stands at
the head of az grave overgrown with
camomile, bears the simple inscription:
TO my beloved brother, Harry Aus
ter, who died January 20, 1919, age
thirty-fve years.. The legend is re-
peated in Hebrew characters craven in
granite and retouched with gold, MAX
ing the stone an artistic and impress
sive memorial among the monuments
in the Jewish cemetery.
At the conclusion Of the last rites for
the late contractor, his friends returned
to Kenosha in automobiles provided
for the occasion by Sam Auster.

Since Bandmaster Insists
That He Has Absolutely No
Objection To Children
At Recitals
PLAN "CHILDREN's NIGH"
To Show His Regard For the Riddles
Leader Will Give Special Program
For Them - Controversy Means
Better Order.

The concert controversy goes merr1ly
on thereby giving evidence of public
interest in the subject and possibly
promising better order at future re-
citals in Library Park and elsewhere
in Kenosha.
In reply to comment published in the
Evening News, Bandmaster George
Green said today:
II agree with Conrad Shearer that
the children should hear all of the
band concerts. To keep the children
away from these recitals would be a
crime. I am now arranging a program
to be played in the near future, which
will be made up almost entirely of
children's songs and games and which
will feature recital known as '5Chil-
dren $ Night.
None the less some things have
happened in the course of recent con-
,certs here that would make one laugh
and grow angry in almost the same
breath. Most Of these things have
been perpetrated by larger boys and are
probably due to the fact that the band
concerts are relatively new in Keno
sha.
81 feel sure that as the recitals are
continued conditions will right them
selves and make it possible for every
one to enjoy the concerts.
"When I say everyone include
the children. Far be it from me to ex-
clude them from the benefits Of music.
I have four of them, myself, two small
ones in Kenosha and two grown-ups in
New York. So again / say, bring the
children to the concerts but take care
of them while they are there. Other
wise neither they nor others will get
the full good out of recital5 that are
both educational and recreational. =
Mr.. Green is anxious that everyone
in Kenosha should understand that his
criticisms of order at the concerts are
given not scolding nor consciously but
in the best of good humor and with the
hope that a higher musical apprecia-
tion may be developed among Keno
shans.
And in the meantime he ard his pro-
teges are busily rehearsing special Of
eerings and Stunts for the afore-
mentioned .sChildren's Night.

Not the least Of the novel features Of

will be charged for admission to the

thing doing all the time and something
that will interest even the most blase

tions have been arranged for the Mer-

many activities constituting this week s

Private Bahr returned to Kenosha on
Tuesday evening after receiving his
honorable discharge at Camp Grant on
Tuesday morning.
He enlisted with the colors in the
summer Of 1917. After several months
preliminary training at Camp Dodge,
Iowa, he was sent overseas with the
ammunition department of the Ordin-
ance Corps. He reached France in time
to go in at Chateau Thierry and
have the excitement of his life =
while supplying doughboys and marines
with the field-gun and rifle ammunition
that stemmed the tide Of German in
vaslon and hurled the naughty huns
back toward the Rhine and the crumb-
ling battlements Of Berlin.
Did you realize how big a battle
you were going into when the order
came to ADVANCE he was asked by
aforementioned inquisitive friend.
"Oh we didn't stop to think about
that he answered. 1--WE just knew
that the frogs had been doing some
thing like that for three years and we
felt that we were as good or better men
than they were any old day there was
any fighting to do.''
Why do you call them frogs -
was the next question.
Because they were that, came the
answer. sThey were fine to us until
the armisticI was signed and after that
well | don t think there were six
Yanks in France who saluted frog
officers after November 18th. =
"Didn t the frog-oficers complain 80

Suppose they did," the ex-soldier
commented; and then he added laugh
ingly: You may not know it but there
were lots of battles fought after the
