Dear Would it be possible
for you to give me directions for pre-
pairing the parchment to be used for

NJ. N
There is an imitation parchment chat
is often used for making these shades,
which is less expensive than the real
parchment aud not so crackly. You can
buy it at stores where artists supplies
arc sold. There is fluid which comes
that makes the parchment transparent
when it is put over it. 1t is simply
painted on with brush. Then, after
this dries, You are ready for the decorat
ing. Either oil or water color paints can
be used. If water colors are used the
transparent fluid should be put on the
under side of the parchment. If you use
oil it doesn't matter where the fluid i:
put.

Finds No House
Pitches Up Tent
County Clerk Holderness Thinks He
May Have a Tented Village
Soon ON COunty's Lot.

County Clerk Holderness believes
that he has found a way to utilize the
large building site on Park street va
Gated months ago to make way for the
new proposed county building.
The idea was brought to him by
Kenosha's newest citizen on Tuesday.
This man, who arrived in Kenosha re-
Gently and who has been spending
most Of his time since his arrival look
ing for a house, struck on a brilliant
idea on Tuesday afternoon.
1--WE just been wondering if you
would help a man without home,''
he suggested to the county clerk. az
see there is big vacant lot over here
belonging to the county. want to pitch
a tent on it. What are the chances ?"
County Clerk Ho1derness informed
this man that there would be no OBJ
lection on the part Of the county and
no rent to pay. This morning this man
pitched his tent. He selected concrete
floor left from one of the houses and is
now as sung as bug in rug.
Now the county clerk likes the idea
so we'll that he is hoping other home
hunters will follow suite and he will
have a tented village this summer.

CITY TOLOSE
Big INDUSTRY
International Earth Boring
Co. May Give Up Plan
for Big Plant Here.
CONTRACTS IN CHICAGO

The International Earth Boring Ma
chine company of Chicago, which re-
Gently purchased large factory site
adjoining the plant of the WHITTIER
Motor Truck company with view Of
starting the erection of a large manu-
featuring plant in Kenosha may aban-
don the project. Word has been re-
ceived from Chicago that the company
which planned to manufacture vast
equipment for the use Of the American
Telegraph and Telephone company has
been offered such advantageous con-
tracts in Chicago that it is believed
that the erection Of the plant planned
for Kenosha would be unnecessary.
1t had been the plan Of the company,
which is well established, to issue pre-
ferred stock in the sum of half a mill
lion dollars to take care of the most
of the building of the plant in Keno
sha and plans had been made for the
issuance of the stock when a Chicago
company offered to take the whole is
sue OF stock or to make contract With
the company for the production of the
machinery.
Plans for Factory Ready.
Plans for the factory to be built
on the north shore in Kenosha were
completed some time ago and provided
for the erection of plant which would
give employment to from six to eight
hundred men at the completion Of the
plant. 1t is now believed that the
whole plan will be abandoned and that
the international Earth Boring Machine
company will place contracts with the
Chicago company for the construction
of its machines. It is said that the
company has agreed to give early de-
liveries and to keep deliveries coming
as rapidly as the machines can be
equipped with trucks and placed in the
service Of the big telegraph and tele-
phone companies. Some machines have
already been built and it is declared
that they have met the requirements
of the company in every way.
No Change in Whittier Contract.
It is declared that the decision to
abandon the construction Of the manu-
featuring plant in Kenosha will not
in any way interfere with the contracts
which the International Earth Boring
Machine company have made with the
WHITTIER Motor Truck company and it
is understood that the Kenosha truck
company will make all the trucks to
be used by the company The orde>
is one of the largest ever given to any
company and it is understood that
eventually this equipment for handling
telephone and telegraph poles will be
used by all the subsidiary companies
of the American Telegraph and Tele-
phone company.
The site which was purchased by
the International company may be
taken over by the WHITTIER company
later, as it is known that this com
pany is making plans for extensions
to the plant and the land would prove
to this company.

ministration. People in Kenosha believe in
progress and the greatest recommendation that
can be given to any administration is the fact
that it believed in a progressive city and help
ed to get it. Any administration in the future
can understand that this is one thing that Ke-
nosha is going to demand Officers who want
to stand in the way of progress may just as
well get ready to have an office somewhere

A party Of protest is mighty good thing
for any nation. Just on this account the ac-
ton of the New York legislature in ousting the
Socialists just because they were Socialists
does not appeal strongly to real Americans.
These fellows may not have been all that peo-
pie want as law makers but they were named
by the people Of their districts and until shown
to have been disloyal to the state or nation
they should have retained their seats.

The people will now expect the new council
to organize with the least possible loss of time.
The people want the business of the city to go
forward without interruption even if some of
the aldermen are forced to give up little Of
their personal ambitions. The best member
of the council is the man who can work and
work honestly on any committee ON which he
is placed.
