Prediction.

Scotland has well-developed shale
oil industry giving employment to g..
600 men, this industry being 80 years
old. Yet Scotland shale is much lower
in oil than that found in the mountain
state deposits Of this country The
United States department of commerce
predicts that sooner or later this great
source of supply will be utilized to
supplant the decreasing production Of
the oil fields.

Mesmerism and Hynnotisn,.

You may say that "mesmerism IL
a form of hypnotism," or you may,
with equal propriety, say that "hypno-
tian is a form of mesmerism." 1t is
as broad as it is long. Mesmerism is
so-called from the fact that it first
sprang into prominence through one
It. A. Mesmer, a German physician Of
Merseburg, about 1850. The name
mesmerism has in these days been
eclipsed by the more familiar hypno-
tism.

Talk Less. Listen More

While we are against the eternal
talker and resent being placed in the
roster of patient listeners, we are in
no position to ignore the circum-
stance that the Lord gave man two
ears to listen with and only one
tongue to talk with. Which means
he intended people to listen twice as
much as they talk. Our kick is we
have to listen 40 times as much as
talk, and we want to talk.-Houston
Post.

PROCEEDINGS
OF THE
County Board Of Supervisors
OF
Kenosha County, Wisconsin

Twenty-six Thousand Five Hundred
Dollars which makes total of
Thirty Thousand Five Hundred Sixty
five Dollars and Thirty-nine Cents.
This leaves a balance of Nine Thousand
Seven Hundred Thirty Dollars and
Ninety-fve Cents to be raised by Ra
cine and Kenosha counties to complete
y finish and equip the building. Ra-
cine County's snare of this amount is
fve-eighths or the sum Of Six Thousand
and Eighty-one Dollars and Eighty-fye
cents; KeIosha County's share or three
eighths is the sum of Three Thousand
Six Hundred Forty-nine Dollars and
Ten Cents,
We therefore recommend that the sum
of Three Thousand Six Hundred Forty
nine Dollars and Ten Cents be appro-
priated by your honored body to pro-
vide for the balance Of Kenosha
County Is share needed for construction,
furniture and equipment.
Under Article Al, 43 of the Revised
Statutes ,1917, the County School Board
determines the amount necessary for
the maintenance and equipment Of the
school for the next succeeding year and
annually thereafter and apportions the
amount to be raised in proportion to
the assessed valuation of the real and
personal property in such county as last
fixed by the State Board of Assessment.
The County School Board in accordance
with this statute has determined the
amount necessary for the maintenance
of the school from November LIST, 1918,
to November LIST, 1919 is the sum of
Four Thousand Eight Hundred Dollars.
This sum is exclusive Of teachers sal
aries, almost all of which is paid by
the State of Wisconsin. The proper
tionate share Of the County of Keno
sha is the sum Of One Thousand Eight
Hundred Dollars.
1t is not necessary to appropriate this
sum for the reason that under the
statute the County Clerk Of each county
shall levy the amount determined BY
the Joint County Training School Board
in the County Tax for the support of
the school for the ensuing year.
We believe that this report Of the
financial status Of the school for the
construction Of the building and main
tenance and equipment is complete and
will cover all OUTLAWS for tho entire
completion Of the building.
This building when completed will
undoubtedly contribute very materially
to the welfare and educational uplift
of the common schools of the two
counties, and will be monument to
the intelligence and progressiveness Of
two of the richest and best counties
in the State Of Wisconsin, and at the
same time incite the envy and admira-
ton of all people.
We also submit for your considera-
ton, appended hereto, the report of
Q. E. Randall, Treasurer of the Joint
County Training School for Teachers,
showing the receipts and disbursements
to date.
Dated at Kenosha, Wisconsin, this
ninth day of November A. d. 1918.

British Seek To
 Have 1mperat0r
 Taken from U. s

Washington, Oct. 7.-Upon the basis of detailed reports from the British foreign office concerning the claims of the British shipping com- mission to the possession of the for mer German steamship Imperator and other ships which were used by the United States army transport service and were recently turned over to the shipping board the Brit ish embassy has began negotiations with the state department to obtain relinquishment of these ships to the British transatlantic companies.
 According to the British viewpoint their government is in no wise re- sponsble for the action of the repar- ations commission in holding a cer- tain number of tank ships owned by the Standard Oil Company to be prizes of war because they were sail ed under the German flag and does not feel that there is warrant in law or equity for refusing to turn over other ships regularly allotted to the British by the separations commis- icns as an offset for that decision, es- pecially in view of the fact that the tankers were not given to the British but were assigned to supply oil to Germany.

Colorado Wants To Become Capital
 In Summer Time

Denver, Col, Oct. 1.-The move ment to establish summer White House" on Mount Falcon, 15 miles from Denver, and in the Rocky moun- tains, has been revived by Colorado citizens. The war interrupted the campaign started several years ago with the object of providing a pie turesque mountain palace where presidents of the United States might find refuge during the warm months.
 The building, it is estimated, would require an initial expenditure of S50,000 and leaders of the campaign plan to raise S25O,000 additional to complete the entire structure anr put the grounds in shape.
 The summer home would be held in trust by the governors of the 22 states west of the Mississippi river, acting as a board of regents.

Streets of Berlin Still Bear Names
 Of Royal People

Berlin, Oct. 7.-Protest is entered by Attorney Rosenfeld, former Prus- sian minister of justice, that despite the months that have passed since the revolution, the abdication of the em- peror and the overthrowing of 30 or more princes and princling kings and what-not, the streets of Berlin still bear in inordinately large number the names of royalty.
 He cites a few, such as Kaiser Will helm street, a Koenig, Friedrich, a Karl, Prince Louis Ferdinand, Prince and Princess street.
 The names of former military lead CTS and generals should go also, he argues, citing such streets at Zieten, Bluecher, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Moltke and others. He objects also to the naming of streets after the military, such as the Dragoner, (dragoons and the Jaeger, cavalry) in these piping days of revolution and republic.

Series of Meetings Are To Be Held With the
 Officials.

| Washington, Oct. War against high prices on the necessities of life will be carried with renewed vigor to the country this month and waged thru series of meetings that is ex- pected to enlist the cooperative eff Torts of federal, state and local of ficials.

HAUBER THEATRE.

The patrons of the Hauber theatre were unanimous in declaring that "Virtuous Men," presented for the first time in this city last evening, is one of the greatest productions ever secured by Manager O. c. Hauber Due to the reputation of the produc- tion and it's director, Ralph Ince, as we'll as the popularity of the star, F.. K. Lincoln, an enormous audience wit messed the first showing of this fea- ture. In point of action excitement and beauty, "Virtuous Men" is one of the biggest productions of the season The magnificent society ball in which 2,5o0 people appeared, caused much astonishment and comment among the patrons of the Hauber theatre. The melodramatic situations which abound throughout the production, to- gether with the tensity of the action, held the spectators spellbound from the opening of the picture with it's wonderful scenes in the northwest, to the final sensational climax.

No Increased Rates Until RailurOads Are
 In Private Hands

Washington, Oct. 1.-The railroad administration will make no increase in freight rates before return of the railroads to private operation Janu- ary 1.
 Director General Hines wrote T. DeWill Cuyler, chairman of the rail- way executive, today, that it would be impossible for the government to establish any general readjustment of rates" because earnings of the roads under the abnormal conditions prevail Ing in the early part of this year did not afford a fair test of income.
 The manifest desire of the public to have the interstate commerce com- mission exercise full authority in any readjustment of rates to be effective under private control also was cited by the director general as an objec- tlon to the railroad administration S undertaking such a readjustment.
