Conservation w arden
Takes Racine Men
Michael Kleist Picks Up Two Racine
Men Charged With Being Too Free
With Their Automobile.

Henry Sybelow and Jesse Tomieser,
both of Racine, were arrested just be-
fore nine o'clock Tuesday evening by
State Conservation Commissioner Mike
Kleist after Kleist had come into con-
nection with the business end of an
automobile driven by one of the men.
Kleist was not severely injured but he
held that the men were driving the
automobile with recklessness which
was decidedly dangerous to passing
pedestrians. The men had plenty of
money but they were be oked on charg-
es of disorderly conduc- and were held
at the police station during the night.
The accident occurred at the corner
of North Main street and Milwaukee
avenue. Kleist claimed that he was
struck with such violence that he was
thrown almost across the street.
This morning Jesse Tomieser paid
fine of SIS and the costs of the ac-
ton for reckless driving.

GET READY FOR
SIX-CENT FARE
Street Railway Co. Hurries
Changes to Put New
Fare into Effect.
LITTLE COMPLAINT

The extra pennies were not jingling
into the fare boxes of the Kenosha
street cars this morning but the fault
was not with the order handed down
by the Wisconsin Railroad commits
sion authorizing an increase in fares
from FIVE to six cents in Kenosha. 1t
was because the company has not been
able to gets it machinery" ready to
put the increase into effect and as
soon as this is perfected, the conduc-
tors will begin watching for the Tex
ira coppers" and selling the tickets at
nine for 80 cents
No copy of the order was sent by
the commission to the Kenosha othces
of the Wisconsin Gas & Electric
company and the local officials were
forced to wait for orders from the
main Offices of the company. The
order sets no exact time for them to
put the fare into effect other than that
it is to be effective Immediately. City
Attorney John G. Slater declared that
the company could put the increase
into effect as soon as they were able
to furnish tickets so that the provls-
ions of the order could be carried out.
Changes to Be Made
"This means work for me-" said E.
B. Nunemaker, superintendent of the
railway lines in Kenosha. "In the first
place the fare collectors are not now
fixed so that they will register SIX
cent fare and all of these must be
changed before we can begin charg-
ing the new rate. Then new change
holders must be provided for the con-
ductors and it will take little time
to get this all arranged" Superln-
tendent Nunemaker declared that he
had been expecting the order and that
he was prepared to start as soon as
he received orders from headquarters.
It was said that there might be a
few days delay in putting the order
into effect but that it would not be
more than several days at the most
before the order would be completely
in effect.
The increase in rate is being taken
in Kenosha as "the thing to be ex-
pected, according to the general opln-
ion expressed today. "If it helps to
bring better service, Kenoshans will be
ready and glad to pay the extra cent
said several representative citizens
who were asked regarding the increase
today.
The first authentic report of the or
der was received Monday evening by
the "Kenosha Evening News" in news
telephone message from its representa-
tive in the capitol city. The details
of the order were told to several city
officials but the news was not general
ly known until late Tuesday afternoon.
The fact that no copy of the order
was received by the local Office of the
company made a delay in putting the
order into effect necessary.

Men Are Scarce
Report Agents
Where is the hired man !?


To the question, will there be a
shortage of farm labor in your coun-
ty," % out of "a county agents in
Wisconsin recently reported eyes"
The agents in Rock, Barron, Winnie
bago, Waupaca, Kenosha, jefferson
Green Lake and Waukesha counties
report a decided shortage. Only six
counties, Ashland, Lincoln, Wood
Price, Villas, and Oconto have no short
age.
very few of the county agents have
any solution to the problem" says K
L Hatch, assistant director of agri-
culture extension. Some suggest less
quantity but more quality.
Others urge a campaign for city
labor.
In speaking about the reason for
this labor shortage, B. H. Hubbard, of
the department of economics in the
College Of Agriculture, says, "Higher
wages and shorter hours in industries
are attracting farm boys to the city
This does not mean, however" he con-
tinues, chat farm labor is being under
paid, but rather that farmers cannot
afford to pay such high wages as city
manufacturers are able to offer"
According to reports gathered by
Earl Cooper, director of the short
course in the College of Agriculture,
farm wages this year will average is
per cent higher than in 1919, although
If is nstiynafad that IN 1910 +bov Trara
80 per cent higher than at the begin
ming of the war. The graduates of
the short course this year are hiring
out at wages ranging from s45 to 500
a month, including board, room and
washing. This means an average of
more than $50 a month as compared
with s65 month received last year.

Of provided city transportation SER

pital.
1t is believed that the increase in
rates will not be unpopular in Keno
sha providing that the company fol-
lows it with a certain indication that
the increase viii lead towards provid-
ing adequate transportation facilities
for the city.
Endorses Recent Award.
The endorsement of the recent award
of the Board of Cancellation of $751;
600 increase in wages for the employees
was also commented on at length in
the report. It was shown that the
value of the holdings of the company
in Kenosha was $398,30 and in order
to secure fair return on this and
provide funds for this increase and
expect any development Of the lines
in the city, the increase in fares was
absolutely necessary.

Balm COMPANY
BOOSTS STOCK

Announcement is made today that
amendments to the articles of incor-
poration of the Balm Wagon company
have been filed with the secretary OF
state at Madison increasing the capital
stock Of that company from 100000 to
$1,200,000 This makes the sixth COM
pany in the industrial life of Keno
sha with capital stock over mil
lion dollars.
The Balm company is one Of the old
est of the Incorporated companies OF
Kenosha and is rated as one of the
most prosperous. It's business has al
ways been done along conservative
lines but the business has been in
creasing very rapidly in recent months
and an increase in capital has been
found necessary to take care of the
rapidly growing business. 1t is under
stood that the new issue of stock will
not be offered to the public but that
it will be taken entirely by present
stockholders of the company. Many
Of the employees of the company
are stockholders in it at the present
time and it is forecasted that with
the increase in stock others may be
financially interested.
No Announcement of Plans.
No announcement has been made of
the plans of the company, for the use
of the increased capital. 1t was said
that the general expansion Of the bust
ness demanded increased capital and
that when the plans Of the company
were ready a full announcement Of
them would be made.
The Balm company is one Of the old
historic organizations Of the indus
trial life of Kenosha. 1t was estab-
lished by the late Edward Balm, Keno
sha pioneer, way back in the early
forties and the business was largely
developed under the direction of mem
bers of the Yule family. The late
George Yule succeeded Mr.. Balm as
president of the company and under
his management Of the business the
company increased its output many
times. With the death of Father
Yule, George A. Yule, his son, became
president of the company and under
his progressive management the COM
pany has largely advanced it's business
and its output. Suggestions have been
made that the company planned for the
erection of new and greater plant,
but no announcement is made by the
company of such plan. People Of the
city will have keen interest in future
announcements Of the plans of the
company.

SEATS ALL SOLD
FOR BIG MATCH

| Bill Frazier and John Wagner, the
promoters for the big fight to be
staged this evening at the Coliseum,
are wearing the smile that won't
come off,. The reason for the hilar-
ity is that they have discovered that
/ the house is sold out for this even
ing and that Jack Britton and Denny
/ 0'Keefe will fight before packed
/ Coliseum.
/ The fact that standing room only
was left for the show was discovered
/ on Tuesday afternoon by Manager
Frazier when reports from the Chi
cago and Milwaukee ticket Offices
/ brought the word that big expeditions
/ of fight fans would be here and that
their supplies of pasteboards had been
exhausted. Frazier hustled around for
more chairs and borrowed 200 addi-
4 tional ones from the Simmons COM
pany and has found room for them in
the Coliseum.
Both Backed by Chicago Bugs.
Both Britton and 0'Keefe are
strongly backed by Chicago fightbugs.
Years before he annexed the welter-
weight crown Britton was a favorite
on the west side in Chicago and many
OF his old friends are coming to Ke-
nosha with their pockets filled with
/ jack to place on their scrapper The
south side fans have not deserted
Denny O'Keefe and while it is adj
mitted that they are expecting odds,
they believe that one haymaker will
knock out champion as we'll as any
one else, and they will be here in
force and shattered with kale to back
the challenger.
| Even the friends of Britton admit
that a new champion may be found in
| Kenosha this evening and this posi-
bility has been potent factor in max
ing Kenosha the Mecca for fight bugs
/ this evening.
Dan Morgan Gives Alibi.
/ Danny Morgan, the famous New
York manager who has both Eddie
| Fitzsimmons and Jack Britton in his
stables, admits that he has brought
Britton to Kenosha to wipe out the
sting of defeat left when O'Keefe OUT
fought FitzsimmOns here several weeks
ago. During the time since the match
Morgan has proved a real "Alibi Ike.
He declares that all that was the mat
ter with Fitzsimmons on that event
full evening was that he had to touch
of the sleeping sickness" He asserts
that before the fight he had TO be
Weakened several times and that he
was still groggy when he stepped in
the ring.
O'Keefe's friends admit that Fitz
might have been sleepy but they de-
clare the only sleeping potion he ever
secured came from the end of Dennys
nit.
That's another fight though. For
getting the post-mortem, the scrap
scheduled for this evening promises
to be a fiery one from gong to gong
with crowded house to watch it.
Preliminaries Uncertain.
Bud Christiano is still looking for
some one to scrap with him in the
semiwindup. Wagner thought he
had landed Young Dennis of Milwau-
kee late yesterday afternoon but it
was discovered last night that Dennis
was not available. The promoters
have given their word that a real
scrapper will be found before the
fight opens as Wagner has several
who have promised to answer tele-
grams this morning.
