RED CROSS WILL MAKE DRIVE IN
MADISON THIS WEEK.

The executive committee of the
Lake county Red Cross met in extra
session yesterday to organize and lay
out plans for the old clothes drive
that is to start in this city at once.
Rev. c. McKibbin, Mrs. Thos. Niece
and Mrs. Beatty were appointed as a
visiting committee to canvass the
city in behalf of the destitute refu-
gees of Europe. This is a worthy
cause since millions are starving and
are minus proper clothing for either
protection or common propriety.
These hapless victims that have been
crushed ruthlessly between the whirl-
wind of murderous warfare are left
in a pitiable state mentally and physi-
cally. Certainly the good people of
this city will donate in a large mea-
sure towards clothing these poor un-
fortunates. They can use most any
thing in the apparel line and the Red
Cross will see to it that these gifts
reach them.

GEORGE JOHNSON MOVES TO A
NEW LOCATION.

George Johnson, a licensed cleo
trician, recently came to Madison to
engage in business. He put in a line
of supplies in the east part of the
Huntemer building only to find later
that his growing business demanded
more room. Just yesterday his stock
vas transferred to the building on
Egan avenue formerly occupied by
Mrs. X. Knoeri.
Mr.. Johnson is having his new
quarters partitioned off and freshly
painted preparatory to setting in new
fixtures and a much larger line OF
electrical appliances. The large dis
play window just meets his require.
ments.
The front section of the building
is being fitted up for a sales and dis.
play room the two back rooms tC
serve for the storage of stock and fol
repair work.
Mr.. Johnson has had much eXper
fence in this line and hoops to hav'
with him in the near future hi
brother Frank who is now in servic,
in France.
Mrs. johnson is expected to arriv,
from Vienna the last of the week an,
these people hope to make Madison
their future home.

Kalkbrenner and Smith rank among
the very best in musical circles in

of being one of the best baritone
players in the west and the classy
duet which he and his partner will
offer you will cause you to sit up and
take notice. The 1.-THE children have
made quite a reputation for their
solos in the country around the city.

MUNICIPAL PLANT
CITY COMMISSION AUTHORIZES
CALLING AN ELECTION TO
VOTE BONDS.

The city commission met in regu-
lar weekly session at the city hall last
evening.
The first matter of Importance to
consider was the ordinance relating
to the issue of $4,000 worth of sew
er bonds and providing for a tax
levy to pay for same. This ordinance
was adopted as read.
The next momentous question be.
fore the meeting was the municipal
plant proposition VS.. the Northern
States proposal. The very suggestion
of these two opened up a line of dis,
cussion, and a r~eiteration of argu.
ments, affirmations and denials that
have been the chief talk in offices,
homes and on the streets for the past
three months. Commissioner Hen
kin proposed that a committee com
two of the city commission be ap-
pointed to visit cities, where the
Northern States Power company is
giving service, also other cities OPP
Grating their own steam or Diesel
engine plants for the purpose of in
vestigating costs and utility and gath
ering facts for comparison. No ap-
pointment has yet been made for that
purpose. The city attorney was in
structed to draw up a resolution for
the calling of an election to vote on
20-year bonds, the issuance of which
would make available a sum of $780,
900 for erecting and equipping an
electric light plant for this city.
During the course of the evenings
business one subject of vital interest
to the citizens of Madison and the
voters of the whole of Lake county
came up in the form of a suggestion
namely, the need for a new court.
house and city hall combined. This
is sure to claim attention in the neal
future owing to the crowded office
conditions at the county building ant
the need for more commodious quar-
tiers in which to conduct the city'E
business and house its firefightins
equipment.
There being no other business O
importance the meeting adjourned.
