Of the county officials to the real work which
has been done and which is being done.
INSURANCE AGENTS.

Insurance agents are not generally appraised
at their true value to the communities which
they serve.
No class Of statesmen must work harder to
sell their goods; few labor more persistently to
land customer, calling on him at night at his
home, if they can't corner him in his office in
the day time.
Their persistence alone would deserve credit,
even if the article they have to sell were not a
thing of most excellent merit
But the attitude of the average man toward
an insurance agent is one of resistance such as
one put up against fellow who has come to
borrow money. Seldom does a man think Of
an insurance agent as one who has come to
show him method of saving money
Such attitude is not unnatural. It flows
from lack of long-distance vision that afflicts
most men. A man will give patient ear to an
oil stock salesman of a get-rich-quick concern
because the average imagination submits read
lily to suggestions of fabulous wealth. Most men
love to dream.
But the insurance agent peddles no dreams.
He makes lawproof guarantees. He is able to
tell you that at the end of certain period your
policy will be worth so much. True, he does
not promise that you will roll in automobiles,
but he does pledge that your family will be pro
vided for when their bread-winner has de-
parted
And yet, such is the preverse nature of the
mind of man, that the sure thing Of the insur-
ance agent frequently is turned down for the
speculation that is woven of the stuff that
dreams are made of.

just what the county board could do
in the matter before it is formally
submitted"
The property is the property now
occupied by the old Municipal Court
building and the county Jail and it has
been owned by the county since the
old county building was built, way back
in the sixties. 1t is considered one
of the finest pieces of business front
age to be found in the down town dis
trict. 1t is believed that if it is sold
the price asked for it would be in ex-
cess of $4,000. This would be in keep
ing with the price secured for other
property in the neighborhood. Even
with move for the construction of
the court house at once it would be
three or four years before the county
could give the new purchaser of the
property possession. The Chicago com
pany has seen ft~to cloak all of it's
dealings with mystery and Chairman
Murdoch declared that he had not re-
ceived the slightest idea as to the iden-
tity of the proposed purchasers of the
property or their plans for the i'm
provement of it.
The chairman indicated that the
county board would be ready to hear
the charges and counter charges in the
"Tully-Hahn" controversy on next
Tuesday morning. "I wouldn't want 70
be quoted in this matter" declared the
chairman. ~ have not heard either side
of it and ! want to be free to decide
any matter which may come up by
the statements made to the board in
open session. The county board will,
of course, listen to both sides and l
am inclined to regard the matter as a
very serious matter. No complaints
have been made to me of the work Of
Miss Hahn as probation officer. How
ever, assurance can be given that every
possible attention will be given to any
communications submitted in the mat
ter. haven't talked to other mem
bers of the board in regard to the
matter at any time"

county board indicates that the board

ADVICE z

One day the Memphis Press printed an edi-
torial urging more speed in the loading and I'M
loading of freight cars. The editorial was adj
dressed to Freight Car Users" and urged
this measure as relief for car congestion
"Unquestionably editorials of this kind will
do great deal Of good" wrote c. N. Mabie,
agent of the Rock Island lines, to the editor.
"Your editorial has had effect on the situa-
ton" wrote B. E. Buchanan, division freight
agent Of the Frisco lines.
ut will have it's good effect toward relieving
the present congestion, wrote c. C. Johnson,
freight agent of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad
"Advice is cheap" somebody once said But
that is no good reason for disregarding it.
The advice to shippers to load and unload as
quickly as possible, cost the shippers nothing.
1t cost the readers of this newspaper nothing
But it means more cars for the shippers, and
faster freight service for consumers. 1t means
that because many shippers accepted the ad-
vice contained in that editorial more people
have food to eat, clothes to wear, building ma
terial, fuel, and other things than they other
wise would have
Consider well advice before you reject it, be
it printed word or spoken.

-FOUR HUNDRED
| FOR NEW RATE
Many People Sign Petition
for Increased Telephone
Rates for Kenosha.
JUST PLAIN BUSINESS"

Four hundred and seventeen Keno
sha people this morning had voted
faye" on the proposal to increase the
rate for telephone service in Kenosha
and the list Of names signed to the
petition was being increased hourly.
Manager Borden of the telephone COM
pany took considerable pride in the
petition and an examination tofs it
showed that it contained the names
of practically every incorporated com
pany in Kenosha. "We are not any
where near through with our effort in
Kenosha," said Manager Borden, "but
we feel greatly encouraged in regard
to the way the people of Kenosha are
meeting this question. It is fair to
say that the people have given US an
excellent reception and an examina-
tion Of the list Of names now signed
to the petition indicated that the peo-
pie are interested. We hope to COM
plete the work of canvassing the pa
irons Of the company in the remain
ing days of the week and then we will
be able to see just what the people of
Kenosha are willing to do"
Little Protest On Rate.
It is admitted by the canvassers that
there has been little protest on the
rate suggested by the company. The
figures suggested by the company have
been carefully examined. by auditors
and men who have been accustomed to
the rising costs of everything have
been of the opinion that the telephone
service if it is to be maintained is
worth the forty per cent increase ask
ed. 1t is expected that the petition of
the company for the increased rates
will go to the railroad commission
about the first day of September and
that at that time the city of Kenosha
and all other cities Of the state to be
affected by the rate will have a chance
to be heard. 1t is not expected that
the city Of Kenosha as a municipality
will make any objection to the pro-
posed change in rates other than to
insist to the commission that service
be rendered commensurate with the
new rate charged.
Meantime the working crews of the
company are working on extensions to
the physical property of the company
in Kenosha with view of making it
adequate to repeated demands for
more and faster service. It is declar-
ed that much of the cause for com
plant will have been removed by the
completion of this work.

Ell. B. Kotz Makes Formal
Appeal to Get First Crack
at Market St. Property.
HE Is READY TO WAIT
County Board Chairman Says
He Is Ready to Hear Contest
Over Probation Officer.

A formal request has been made to
Fred Murdoch, chairman of the coun-
ty board of Kenosha county for an
option of all the land on the north side
of Market street owned by Kenosha
county. The option has been formally
sought by H. B. Kotz, well known
Kenosha real estate man and he has
not taken the chairman of the county
board into his confidence He has said
nothing farther than that the option is
sought by Chicago parties who now
have an option on the Trenary prop
erty at the corner of Market and
Sheridan Road. 1t was stated some
time ago that the Chicago men sought
the property for garage purposes but
later it was said that the property
was sought as hotel site. 1t is said
tina Kenosha men were interested in
the effort to secure the large piece of
property.
Put Up To County Board.
II shall lay the request for the
option before the county board at its
meeting on next Tuesday," declared
Chairman Murdoch today. II am not
certain that the county could grant an
option on the property under the pres
ent badly disturbed conditions in re-
gard to the court house and / am not
convinced that it would be good plan
to grant such an option. Mr.. Kotz
has not informed me how much the
Chicago people are willing to pay for
this property but am advised that
the option would be taken at pretty
nearly any price the county might
consider fair for the property. MIR.
Kotz has informed me that the COM
pany is ready to take the option with
the understanding that the option is to
be continued until such time as the
county is ready to vacate the property
and turn it over for business purposes.
The members of the board have been
approached on the matter and they can
take formal action on Tuesday. ex-

trict attorney for an opinion as

DR.. Egi ExOnerates
Korean Sky-Pilots
Japanese Investigator Says Mission
aries Are Not Inciting Con-
verts to Revolt.

Tokio-Dr. Senshi Egi, a member of
the House of Peers, on returning from
an inspection of conditions in Korea,
is quoted as making the following
reference to foreign missionaries:
II have done my best to get at the
truth of the reports that have been
circulated regarding the instigation of
Korean students by their missionary
teachers against he Japanese authori-
ties, but have found, that with very
few exceptions, the rumors are not
true. The impression left on me was
that the missionaries are honestly

eciar that il ,nsY r;el3 eooJ Iaau,ts
to the Koreans. Whatever their mo-
tives, there is no reason why the
Japanese should not welcome those
efforts"
DR.. Egi said that Korea has attained
striking progress since the inaugura-
ton of the new regime. "But," he
added, there is yet great room for
Improvement. While I was in Korea,
took every opportunity to meet
representative Koreans and learn their
point of view. The most intelligent
of them have realized that it is futile
to try to establish an independent gov
eminent But / think it is very neces-
sary that the Japanse should know that
the Koreans aim at local autonomy"

Racine County
Had Fair Gain
Census Report Shows County Has
1901 People; Increase of
Thirty-seven Per Cent.

The population of Racine county, in
January, 1920, was 1901, an increase
of 21,587, or 37.6 per cent in ten years,
according to figures received today
from the census bureau.
The greatest increase in the county
was in the city of Racine which showed
a gain, in ten years, of nearly the
total gain of the entire county.
While the city of Burlington is ex-
pected to show good gain in popula-
tion over 1910, when the census bureau
reported 1912, several of the towns
are expected to show marked decreases
during the past ten years. Portions
of the town of Mt. Pleasant have beer
annexed by the city, causing loss
there, but the. town will not show any
decrease, because of che populated
district at Lakeside.
Towns in the central and western
portions of the county are expected
to show decreases.
In 1900 Racine county had popula.
tion of 1854 and in 1910 of 57,424
according to the federal census, while
the state census, in 1905, gave the
county population of 50,22S. Racine
county has an area, square miles, OF
323. In 1900 the population, per square
mile, was 141.31; 1905 it was 1850
1910 it was 177.78 and 1920 it was 245.
The following is the census of Racine
county reported by the census bureau
for the census taken from 1910 to
1920 inclusive: 1910, BATS; 1850
14,973; 1860, 1880; 1870, 26,74O; 1880,
3o,922; 1890, 86,268; 1910, 1854;
1920, 79,011.

better man can they give their votes
to than her Ideal Husband, says Mrs,
Watkins?
"We're Happy Here"
But Mrs. Watkins doesn't seem very
keen about moving to the White
House.
"I'm very happy here" she says.
What more should folks want who
are contented?"
Watkins was a Republican when she
first met him, but she converted him to
the Prohibition party when they were
teaching school together at Quincy,
Ohio.
"And believe" she says she would
have been high in the councils of the
Republican party had he remained with
it. He is fine orator, magnetic per-
sonality, logical thinker.
"But I am proud of him because he
has held fast to principles.
Rich in Real Things.
"We are poor people, according to
the standards of the world. But we
have home, living and are happy.
We are giving our only child, Willard,
college education. And so, say,
we aren't really poor at all, but rich
in the things that really count"

dist church, Rev. Watkins is professor
