Big BUILDING FOR
MARKET SQUARE
S. r. Gordon Takes Ninety
Nine Year Lease Of Mon
Afghan Property and Will
Build Sky-Scraper.

One Of the most important deals in
real estate in years took place in Ke-
nosha this morning when negotiations
were completed by which S. R. Gordon,
well known Kenosha dealer in men 3
clothing and furnishings, purchased the
buildings on Market Square between
Church street and the Public Service
building and took ninety-nine year
lease on the ground which is owned by
John Monaghan. The consideration for
the buildings and the lease were not
made public. Mr.. Gordon has announc-
ed plans for the building Of one of the
finest business buildings in southern
Wisconsin and it is declared that it will
be the largest store given over to the
Quitting of men in Wisconsin.
Big Frontage on the Square.
The property taken over has a front
age Of eighty feet on Market Square.
1t includes not only the buildings now
occupied by the Gordon store and the
new corner in course of erection, but
also the two story building directly
west Of the public service building
which is now occupied by the Holland
Furnace Company. The property is
considered as one of the most valu-
able pieces Of property in Kenosha.
1t is 125 feet deep extending from
Market Square to the alley.
Plans Splendid Building.
Mr. Gordon is planning for the erec-
ton of splendid building. It will be
of the skyscraper variety covering the
entire property and it is his plan to
ultimately give over the entire building
for store for men. Pending the use
of all the building for these purposes
the upper portion of it when completed
will probably be used for Office pur-
poses. With the frontage of eighty
feet on Market street the new building
will be one of the largest, if not the
largest, in the business district Of Ke-
nosha. Foundations already in have
been built with view Of taking care
of a building of from six to nine stories
in height Mr.. Gordon announced this
morning that plans for the building,
one of the most modern construction,
were now being made and that work
on it would be started just as soon
as possible.

A pitiful instance Of underpay OF
honest service may be properly given
here suppressing names and loca-
ton. 1t may affect the impersonal
viewpoint whence we incline to see
the struggles OF the college instruc-
tors who serve us thru our children.
A man about 80 years OF age, who
has been teaching about six years
and who had gone 10 considerable
expense to prepare himself in his
chosen science, died of pneumonia
following influenza. His salary was
$l,7o0 per year. He was married and
had two small children. Ever since
this couple was married they have
economical in every possible way,
endeavoring 10 make both ends meet
and pay off a few remaining notes
on account OF this mans education.
They had no help in their home, they
dressed very plainly and they omit
ted many ordinary luxuries from
their meals. The wife was taken sick
with influenza and the husband car
ed for her. The two children fell i'll
and the husband cared also for
them. He could not afford 10 en-
ploy a nurse. Gradually the disease
took hold OF him but he continued to
care for his little family even tho he
had a fever temperature. Finally he
fell down exhausted and was taken
TO the hospital. He made brave,
hard fight but lost The wife, who
has not yet fully recovered. with the
help of neighbors is trying 20 get
things together. A small insurance
policy will not cover the outstanding
bills. It was found after his death
that he had in his desperation bor-
rowed $500, leaving the note unpaid.
The furniture will have TO be sold.
The wife is proud, as she has right
10 be, and is unwilling TO accept
charity. When affairs are settled
up, with all the funds in sight, there
will still remain some bills which she
must pay off from her own earn
ings or which will be paid by the
gifts Of friends.
A capable judge and educator says
the man and his work were worth
$4,000 a year to the state he served.
And this came to hard worker and

SERIOUS CONDITIONS At AMts SCHOOL.

Conditions at Iowa State College
at Ames require the immediate at
tention OF the state. From num-
Der OF sources IL is evident that con-
ditions there on account OF resigna-
tons because of scanty pay are an
immediate danger to the efficiency
OF the school. II is stated that the
college is likely to lose at least
twenty OF its teaching force thru
designations to accept other positions
at largely increased pay. One in
structor was taken by high school
in the eastern part OF the state at
$500 year more than the state Of
Iowa paid. But as the college sal
airy was $1,000 year the high school
could afford to do II.
One very notable instance is that
OF Professor John Buchanan, who,
for many years has been superin-
tendent Of cooperative agricultural
experiment at the college. Story
county took him away from the state
by paying him over $1,000 more than
the state OF Iowa feels that it can
afford. Now Buchanan had worked
up this cooperative experimentation
at the cost OF huge labor thru many
years. He IS one OF those men who
work long hours because the work
needs them and because they love II.
Today there is new cat that he
has been experimenting with which
means millions TO Iowa farmers. Fiji
teen hundred farmers in the state
were on his cooperative staff, men
who would take a pint OF oats, sow
them in the right soil, carefully at
tend them and render back g bushel
true to type and variety. But Story
county takes him from this work to
its county agency at about $4,000 a
year. Not that he wanted 10 go but
that he could not refuse it He and
Story knew ne was worth it. After
long years of service the state failed
to appreciate the value Of his SER
vice. Those things are humiliating
to serviceable men who know their
own value.
We, of Iowa, an agricultural state,
are intensely proud when an Iowan
is called TO the cabinet as secretary
of agriculture. We boast that a
president OF Iowa State College made
the department great But while
this Boosting is in full swing the
head of the animal industry depart
ment OF the school is considering an
offer OF twice his present salary: the
position of head OF the civil engi-
neering department is vacant be-
cause no competent man has been
found who would accept the salary
that Professor ktrkham found insult
ticient In one department, q most
important one TO the farmers Of
Iowa, eight designations have been
offered by men who are going 10 bet
ter paid positions at advances which
represent not less than one-third TO
double the salaries they have been
receiving.
There is serious danger to the
school and its efficiency in all this
and the half has not been told in
this article. One very serious phase
is the certainty that If this policy
continues the school is certain 10
