President of Great Company Which
Shares Its Earnings With It's
Employees.

declared z. G. Simmons of the COM
pany, "but it will be approximately
half a million dollars. The checks are
now being made out and the total will
not be known until the last one of
them is ready to go to the men and
women. Somewhere between three and
four thousand employees will share
in the divisions. 1t is to be COM
pleted between the 18th and goth so
that the employees will have their
earnings to help make the Christmas
season a little merrier"
Goes to All Employees.
The plan. of the Simmos company
to share with its employees the earn
ings of the company on the same pro-
portion that the earnings are shared
with the common stock is two years
old and while there is no announce
ment as to the percentage that will be
paid on the earnings Of the employees,
it is said that the proportion shows
slight increase over the payments
made in December Of last year. The
plan of payments on earnings extends
to every employee of the company,
from the president to the office boy,
and every one of them comes in under
the same scale. The percentage is
paid on the earnings of the various
employees for the year and the total
reaches a vast sum.
Paid in Many Cities.
The earnings checks will be paid in
many cities of the country. Of course
the great bulk of the money will be
paid to the employees of the company
in Kenosha, but thousands of dollars
will be paid out at the branch plants
of the company at San Francisco, CAL,
Elizabeth, N. j., Atlanta, Ca, and in
the Canadian cities and other sums
will go to the salesroom employees in
more than score of cities throughout
the country. The payments reflect an
excellent year in the business of the
company, but no statement has been
given out showing what this business
was or the amount of the earnings to
be divided on pro-rata basis between
the holders Of the stock of the COM
pany and the workmen.

Ford Sedan Smashed
in Sunday Accident
No One Injured Except Small Girl
Cut by the Broken Glass
of the Car

What might have been serious ac-
.cident took place yesterday evening on
Salem avenue, when Ford sedan GO
ing at high rate of speed became I'M
manageable and crashed into the ditch
at the road side. The sedan made two
complete turns when it rolled over,
smashing all the glass. A young girl
presumably seven or eight years Of
age, was severely cut by the flying
glass but outside of that and the
broken glass in the sedan, all was well.
The accident occurred when the Sc
dan, going at a high rate of speed,
attempted to go around another car.
In trying to make too sharp turn
in passing the slower-moving car, the
driver lost control of the steering
wheel with damaging results. The Sc
dan was placed back upon it four
wheels and the driver took it away
under it's own power.

IRISH BONDS
OFFERED HERE
Local Supporters of Free
Ireland" Asked to Buy
Irish Bonds.
BE AS A GIFT

Kenosha people who have been loud
in their declaration in favor of Free
Ireland" are now being asked to say
just how much they want to free Ire
land, and they are asked to express
their sentiments in dollars rather than
in words. Leading men of the city
who came from Ireland or who are the
descendants of Irishmen, have received
numbered applications for the purchase
of the bonds of the republic of Ireland.
The applications show that this is the
first loan that the Irish republic has
sought to float and the bonds are Of
fered in denominations ranging from
$40 to $4,000 in order that the dollar
mark may be put in front of the most
ardent support of a free Ireland.
Must Offer as a Gift.
The application blank does not give
the assurance of an immediate repay
ment of the loan made to the Irish
republic. There is no date set for the
bonds to be called for payment and
the applications for a portion of the
loan states clearly that the money is
paid with the understanding that none
of the principal or any of the interest
may be claimed until after six months
after the international recognition of
the republic of Ireland and the with
drawal of the British military control
of the county. The applications state
specifically that neither the president
of the Irish republic or any of its
agents accept any liability for the re-
payment Of loans until the freedom of
Ireland is actually brought about.
It is said that number of people in
Kenosha have subscribed for small
amounts in bonds. The promoters of
the bond issue hope to secure $4,000
in Kenosha.
