Hitchcock Fighting
Emergency Tariff

Washington Senator Hitchcock
today opened the Democratic fight on
the emergency tariff bill in the Senate
by moving that it be referred to the
commerce committee instead of the
finance committee Hitchcock declar-
ed the bill an embargo measure and
not revenue act and it therefore
should go to the committee having
charge over our foreign commercial
relations He warned the senate
against putting up wall against for
eign imports, predicting that foreign
nations would retaliate in kind. In
stead of helping American business an
embargo would ruin it by preventing
foreign business from paying for the
goods brought there in the only way
in which they can pay for them-the
importation of their products

URGING FOSTER
FOR DALTON JOB
Member Of Income Tax
Board Being Urged for
Tax Assessor
HAS HAD EXPERIENCE

Andrew Foster, formerly of the town
of Salem and for years in the mercan-
tile business at the village of Salem,
is being urged for the Office of income
assessor of Kenosha county to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Joseph E. Dalton, announced on Mon
day. Mr.. Foster has not made any ap-
plication for the position, but it is
understood that he would accept the
Office if it were offered to him. He has
served for several years as member
of the income tax board of review and
has had some experience in the work
of handling tax problems.
81 believe Mr.. Foster would make an
excellent man for the Office" declared
Assessor of Incomes Dalton when ask
ed in regard to the matter. He has
been on the board and he has shown
clear insight into tax problems"
Mr.. Dalton let it be understood
that he was net urging any candidate
as his successor.
No Call for Examination.
i ne county clerk mas not as yet re-
ceived an announcement of civil
service examination to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation. It is not
necessary that the tax commission
name man from Kenosha county as
the law gives the commission wide
powers in naming income assessors.
The commission has been advised that
Mr.. Dalton will give up his work at
the end of this week and it is prob
able that some one will be sent from
the Office of the commission to take
care of the work of the Office until an
appointment has been made in keeping
with the provisions Of the law.
It was said that John Burns Of Ke-
nosha had been suggested for the Of
fee, but he has made no application
for the position. 1t is probable that
there will be many candidates for the
office when the state formally an
nounces the vacancy and asks for
applications.

BIG STORES TO
TAKE THEIR LOSS
Retail Stores Here to Offer
Unusual Price Induce
ments in January.
PRICES ARE CUT DOWN

The retail merchants Of Kenosha,
having determined to take their losses
on merchandise, due to the drop in
prices, are now offering goods at ex-
ceptionally low prices. Some of the
merchants have already made the re-
auctions necessary to meet the new
situation and others are planning
within few days to offer their mer-
chandise. at greatly reduced prices.
The annual january sales are now
commencing and just as soon as the
stocks can be arranged and prices cut,
the stock in most every store in Ke-
aosha will be offered at possibly the
lowest prices that have been seen for
many years and possibly will ever be
saen again.
Ads Tell of Many Reductions.
Advertisements appearing in the Ke-
nosha Evening News, beginning yes
terday and continuing for the next
two weeks, will tell of the many re-
ductions on every day merchandise
being offered by the different retail
establishments in Kenosha.
The trade promotion committee Of
:he Retailers association has urged
all members of the association to hold
their sales as near as possible within
the next two weeks, which should
make these next two weeks in Keno
sna the biggest bargain carnival ever
held.
New Prices a Problem.
Whether prices on new material will
be higher or not is problem that
cannot be foreseen, but most of the
big buyers say that merchandise can
not be purchased for future delivery
at anywhere near the retail prices that
are now being offered.
We again urge all thrifty buyers of
Kenosha to read the advertisements of
the Kenosha Evening News daily and
take advantage of the many bargains
that will be offered within the next
few days. Every line will be repre-
scented, so you will be able to find the
article that is needed the most.

When To Cultivate Corn.

The best answer to the question
of how frequently corn should be
cultivated. say specialists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, is that it
should be cultivated often enough to
keep down weeds and to maintain
constantly a loose soil mulch till the
corn has attained its growth. To
this end greater number of culti-
yations will be necessary when rains
at intervals of about a week cause
the surface soil to run together and
crust. This crust must be broken
and the soil mulch restored, or excess
sive run-Off and evaporation will soon
rob the soil of its moisture,
Promptness in restoring the soil
mulch after a rain is important. With
double cultivators widened and by
driving astride each alternate row
the mulch is restored in half the time
necessary to drive astride of every
row.

Few States Yield Bulk OF Total Corn
Production

Although most of the crops of this
country are produced in many of the
States, if not all, it is not generally
realized that large fraction of the
national crop, perhaps most of it, is
the product of a few States. Speak
ing for 1919, it may be said that
nearly one-half of the great corn crop
is found in the five States of Iowa,
Illinois, Texas, Nebraska, and India
ma. Kansas contributed one-fifth
of the winter wheat crop; North Da-
kota nearly three-fifth of the spring
whent and seven-eights of the flax
seed; Pennsylvania and New York,
nearly two-thirds of the buckwheat;
Louisiana, about one-half of the rice.
and that State, California, and Texas
nearly seven-eights.
Tobacco is highly concentrated in
Kentucky and North Carolina, from
which more than one-half of the crop
came. Texas, Georgia, and South
Carolina produced more than one
half of the cotton; Alabama, Texas,
and Virginia more than one-half of
the peanuts; Wisconsin and Illinois
AZ per cent of the clover seed.
Nearly one-half of the oats grew
In Iowa, Illinois, Texas, Minnesota,
and Wisconsin; two-fifths of the po-
tato crop in New York, Michigan,
and Pennsylvania, more than one-half
of the barley in California, South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Kansas, and North
Dakota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, and Nebraska.

BRITISH SEEK OIL CONTROL

Great Britain is making for reach
ing moves to get control of the
worlds petroleum output. Even now
she controls about go per cent of the
"oil potentialities" of the world, il
is said. South America, Central
America and Mexican oil fields are
largely in her hands, as. are also ex-
tensive fields in recently acquired dis
tricts of the near East. Government
aid is being given British companies
to exploit holdings in Australia and
other possessions.
AS outlined in communication to
the senate by President Wilson, Great
Britain's policy for extending her
control of the worlds petroleum ont
put consists chiefly of three features
the exclusion of aliens from con-
troll of oil resources within the EN-
pire, government aid in developing
new supplies in other countries and
restrictions against disposal of oil
stocks now held by British nationals.
The president said that Great Britain
had given assurances that no discrim-
nation against Americans in re-
sources in the occupied sections of
Turkey would be permitted.
