Reports Of bandltry, but on a
somewhat reduced scale, continue to
filter In from Mexico. On the other
hand come reports that Francisco villa
has entered into an armlstice with the
new government and agreed to cease
attacks on trains, garrisons and towns.
This is in direct contravention of
manifesto issued short time ago by
ten of Villas generals, including his
chief of staff, and q number of civil
ians, that war on the new regime
would be continued. The burden Of
the manifesto was that the 0bregon
and De La Huerta government is the
product of military coup and, at
tempting to establish itself with the
same passions, jealousies, ambitions
and mistakes as of old, will be impo-
tent to restore peace In the country.

CLEVER SAILOR
HELD DESERTER
Clyde Stahl Of Bedding,
Mich. Picked Up by
Local Police.
FIND TINGE OF ROMANCE

There was tinge Of romance and a
touch Of tears in the story of Clyde
Stahl, eighteen year old Belding,
Mich, boy, who is held at the city
lookup as a deserter from the United
States navy and whose arrest brought
to an end rather interesting four
months visit of Stahl to Kenosha. The
police declare that Stahl is wanted for
desertion from the naval station at
Chariestown, N: G., and that the navy
officials have been hooking for him for
some time. From the amount of money
the young man secured while he was in,
Kenosha it is evident that he is clever
and should make good in the navy:
Mothers Estate Still Counting.
Stah1 came to Kenosha- last Novem-
Der and had made his home at the
residence of Joseph Fliess in the town
Of Somers. He was clever young
fellow and the members of the family
liked him. He was much about the
house and came to be one of the mem
bers of the family. He even used the
name of Mr.. Fieiss when he sought
credit at Kenosha stores and the
amount of credit he secured was a
testimonial to the excellent standing
of MIR: Fieiss.. AS yet the police have
not discovered Sust how far he went:
He borrowed money from members of
the F4eiss family lots of it. In order
to get it he said that his grandmother,
Mrs. Ruth Davis, at Bedding, Mich,
had considerable SUM belonging to
him which had been left as a part of
his mothers estate. Tom Fieiss told
the police that he had loaned him
$105 and had a note of seventy-five
dollars. Miss Josephine Fleiss, who
cried just. little over the plight Of
the young fellow admitted that he
had borrowed two hundred and fifty
dollars of her.
Stahl Proves Good Sport.
Stahl admitted that he had secured
the money and that he had secured an
excellent line of credit, but he de-
clared that he meant to repay every
thing just as soon as he got the money
from his grandmother. The police said
that he would be turned over to the
nearest navy post and that he could
dicker with the grandmother and his
creditors from there.

CRITICISM HURT
CITY PARK BOARD
Because Board Was Criti-
cised Anderson Not
Given Contract.
ONE MEMBER RESIGNED
Contractor Explains Reason for
Delay in Erection of
Public Building.

Because members of the park board
were criticised on account of the delay
in public building on the west side
last year, the taxpayers of the city of
Kenosha must pay more than four
hundred sixty dollars more for pub
lie comfort station and band stand in
Lincoln Park this year than the work
can be done for, according to the action
of the city council on Monday night.
The matter came up on the request
of Louis NJ. Anderson, carpenter con-
tractor, to be allowed to address the
council on the matter of the contract
for the comfort station and Sand stand
to be erected in Lincoln Park. Mr..
Anderson stated that he had been cri-
ticised because of the delay in the
completion of building for the city
last year while the war was on. He
said that some of the material to be
used in this building was specified by
the board and that he had placed the
order for this material on June 6 and
that it had been billed out of the fac
tory on December 90 and that the
building had been completed and turn
ed over to the city on April 3. That
the delay was not caused by him, but
was delay of the manufacturers
in filing an order specified in the
contract.
Why Anderson Failed.
The speaker also stated that in view
Of the warning given by the chairman
of the finance committee, the city
would need the four hundred sixty
dollars it was paying over and above
his bid for the building under consid-
Grafton which, if the contract were
awarded to him, he promised to have
completed by the time the park was in
condition for the people of the city
to be going there this spring.
No action was taken by the coun-
Gil on Mr.. Anderson's talk and the
mayor proceeded with the regular or
der of business, but later when Alder
man Anderson would have called up
the matter, Mayor Joachim told him
the contract had already been signed.
Alderman Anderson thought it was
poor policy to pay four hundred
sixty dollars more for comfort sta
ton than necessary, especially. when
it had been shown that the contractor
was not to blame in the matter, where
upon Alderman Roberts explained why
Louis NJ. Anderson had not been given
the contract. He said that the delay
in the completion of the other build
ing brought down great deal of bit
ter criticism on the park board by the
people of Kenosha, and that by reason
of this criticism one of the members
of the park board had resigned.

Canada and Argentina May
Soon Prove Serious
Competitors.
.BOTHN GOOD POSITION
Butter and Cheese Industries
of Countries May Effect
Markets Here.
(By Associated Press,

Washington-Canada and Argentina
may soon prove serious competitors of
the United States in the dairy industry,
government officials believe. The In
dustry in both countries is in its in
fancy yet Canada is producing seventy
per cent as much cheese and twelve
per cent as much butter as the United
States, while Argentina is producing
eighteen per cent as much cheese and
da's butter exports were forty one per
cent as large as those of the United
States while her cheese exports great
ly exceeded exports from the United
States. Argentina's butter exports
were double those of the United States
and her cheese exports equalied thirty
two per cent of those of the United
States.
Capable of Great Development.
1t is generally believed! government
officials say, that Argentina and Can
ada are capable of extensive develop
ment of their industries and it is prob
able, therefore, that the United States
may experience in the future particu-
larly energetic competition. Argen-
tina, twenty one days distant from
New York, they say, may not be
thought of seriously at this time as a
direct competitor in the domestic mar
ket, but indirectly Argentine butter
may supplant Canadian butter in the
English market, in which case Cana
dian butter would find logical outlet
in the United States.
Canada is in better position today
In the worlds markets with her but
ter and cheese than is the United
States, officials declare. Moreover,
Canada's policy with her returned
soldiers and immigrants toward land
development is bringing results which
eventually will mean larger production.
In the United States available lands
are scarce and all lands generally ex-
pensive. 1t is reasonable to believe,
government scientists say, that in the
future production will not increase in
proportion to the population, as the
greater part Of the really productive
land is, now utilized. Resumption of
the Importation of European butter is
again giving real competition to our
products.

They were trolling the bones" over

three negroes and nine white men.

in the night they were tossing their
own bones on the hard hunks in the
city lookup.
Chief of Police O'Hare jumped into
the gambling squad" and with Police
Officer William Schmitt made raid on
the place located at the corner Of Mil
waukee and Lake avenues. The bright
green covering of a pool table had
been put into service as the place for
the coaxing of the bones and when the
chief and his men went into the place
there was scurrying for safety The
Shooters" forgot all about "Big Dick"
"Little Joe," "Baby's Shoes" and the
"Naturals" and began to think of win
dows by which they could escape but
there wasn't chance for escape and
everyone of them was loaded into the
wagon and taken to the police office.
Spend Night In Jail.
The men had neither an excuse or
bonds to offer when they reached the
police Office and they went down to the
cell room for the night. They were in
court bright and early this morning.
The warrants issued by the chief
charged them with violations of the
gambling laws. All of the men said
that the chief had probably got the
right slant of the game and they said
they were ready to pay the fines just
as soon as they could get someone to
go good for them. =
The chief said that he would not
swear that the names placed in the
warrants were the same as appeared
on christening certificates. The blacks
gave their names as Bert Smith, Will
