VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE

Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir-It scenes to me that the
City Hall is in need of good clean
ing up from the czar'' down.
l had supposed that if anyone re-
spectacle voter had anything to bring
before the City Council he was entitled
to recognition. Yet, when 400 voters
present petition it is referred to the
janitor and consigned to the flames.
Had the persons presenting this petit
ton been looking for intelligence they
would probably have given it direct
to the janitor themselves, but they
were looking for authority and not in
telligence. The closing Of the doors
to the. public while their money was
being voted away was in the some line
of intelligence.
With all due respect to the janitor,
it will be impossible for him to clean
the City Hall with soap and water. It
will take clean voting to clean the hall
correctly and / trust the voters will
see that this is done in the coming
election. "A Voter.

MINISTERS ASK
FOR FREE SPEECH
Arrest of Cowboy Preacher
Causes Other Ministers to
Seek What They Are Per-
mitted to Do.
WINNER READY TO LEAVE

Ministers of the city appealed to
Mayor Joachim on Monday, protesting
against the arrest of Robert WINNER,
the cowboy preacher. One of the min
listers insisted that he might himself
want to preach on the streets of the
city and asked what the attitude of
the city would be. Mayor Joachim
promptly informed the minister that
he could have permit if he thought
he needed one and that it was in no
way his desire to interfere in any way
with the preaching of religion in the
churches or on the streets.
Chief O'Hare also declared that he
was willing to have men preach on the
streets, but insisted that they must be
willing to have their services inter
fered with if they blocked traffic. eve
are not objecting to preaching" said
the chief, "but we must insist that the
streets of the city be kept open for
traffic even though we are forced to
make the listeners if not the preacher
move on.

ICE HARVEST OVER
FEW HOUSES FILLED
TeWes Company and Getting Brothers
Get Houses Nearly Filled But
Others Are Short.

The ice harvest is over so rar as Ke-
nosha county is concerned and the last
of the men working in the ice fields
were shipped = back to Chicago on
Monday. The Tewes and Getting com
panies have filed nearly all of the
rooms in houses in Kenosha county but
the Consumers company has put up
very little ice in this county this year.
Labor troubles brought the season to
an early close. It is said that the ice
harvested is of excellent quality and
that the cost of harvesting it was
greatly in excess of the cost in other
years. Much ice was shipped directly
from the Kenosha lakes to be stored
in Chicago ice houses.

WINNER Ready to Leave.

The cowboy preacher was out on the
street again on Monday evening and
preached his gospel without interfer-
ence and it was stated that there was
no desire to interfere with him. VIM
mer stated this morning that he was
going to leave Kenosha and go back
to Creston, Iowa. He declared that his
home was there and that the people
there were willing and ready to listen
to him.
"Now, if I can 60 over to the mayor
and borrow $40 bill III be all set to
go back to Iowa." said WINNER. CT IN
convinced that the mayor will give me
the ten [ don't want to fight with
officials and On this account l am going
back home.''
The mayor when interviewed said
that he would have to get pay check
from the city before he could render
financial aid to the preacher. Most of
the police officers indicated a willing
ness to give more than this if the cow
boy would just agree to ramble along
and keep rambling.
The hearing Of WINNER is set for
next Monday but it is thought that if
his call to preach calls him to Iowa
that arrangements can be made to have
the charges against him here dismissed
and let him go along to the old stamp
ing ground with clear record.

WISCONSIN RAISES
BIG CROPS OF ONIONS
Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee Coul-
ties are Principal Onion Producing
Counties in the Badger State.

"Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee
are the principal onion producing coun-
ties in Wisconsin," says R. E. Vaughn
OF the plant pathology department of
the University Of Wisconsin.
+" Although we often read about the
enormous yields of onions in other
states, such reports must he taken with
a grain of salt, y continues Mr.. Vaughn
who is aiding the onion growers to
keep their fields and crops free from
disease. Wisconsin Yields compare IA
vorably with them. 1t is not uncom-
mon for onion growers in Racine coun-
ty to get as high as 600 bushels to the
acre.
Most of the onions grown in Wis.
consin for commercial purposes are of
the Red Weatherfeld' variety. Fully
two-thirds<o of the total yield is market
ed through St. Louis to the southwest,
at time when that market is prac-
tically free from onions. Growers
usually obtain a good price for their
crop. Wisconsin produced 100000
bushels in 1919.
Brown and Outagamie counties are
rapidly pushing to the front as truck
growing sections, and they promise to
become big factors in the onion indus
try. A future development in onions
is also seen in the area in central Wis
consin where marsh soils are being re-
claimed and put under the pillow. On
ions grow well on heavy soils"
