II in my life one ray
OF heavenly light has shown,
II one good deed can be
Recorded as my own,
That touched another life
And made 1t smile
From teardrops, then my life
Has been worth while.

Lives as OF old,

BIG ICE HARVEST
STARTED TODAY
Chicago Companies Back
to Kenosha to Get Sup
plies of Lake Ice.
TO FILL EVERY HOUSE
Start Scraping at Twin Lakes,
Powers Lake. Salem and Sill
yer Lake This Morning.

Chicago ice companies have come
back to Kenosha county to get the
supply of ice for Chicago and the sur
rounding territory and without warn
ing the workmen appeared on the lakes
at Powers Lake, Twin Lakes, Hooker
and Silverlake this morning and began
scraping the nine inches of ice with
the understanding that cutting would
start at once.
eve are going to fill every ice house
in Kenosha county this year." declared
the foreman in charge of one Of the
big gangs of men. "We have found
that it is going to be possible to get
plenty of labor for the work and we
believe that we can get ice off the
lakes this year cheaper than we can
make it in plants in Chicago"
Nine inch ice is not regarded as ice
thick enough to put into the ice houses
but it is expected that this ice will
be shipped into Chicago for immedi-
ate use and that the filing of the
houses will startSwithin a week. Ten
or twelve inch ice is expected by the
first of the year.
Employ Hundreds of Men.
While the men who started work
this morning were largely men brought
from big plants of the various COM
panies in Chicago, it is expected that
hundreds of men will come out from
Chicago within the next two weeks.
The work Of harvesting the ice is ex-
pected to continue until the middle Of
February. Four dollars day is said
to have been the scale set for the ice
workers this year and it is said that
there is a large number of men in
Chicago, crowding the employment
bureaus and ready to accept work at
these wages. Many of them have
worked on the ice fields in former
years and they know just what is ex-
pected of them. At all the lakes this
morning the boarding houses were be-
ing renovated and fumigated and
placed in condition for the coming of
the army of workmen.
May Employ Kenosha Men.
may be willing to work on the ice will
be given chance later on and it is
possible that several of the ice COM
panies will open employment offices in
Kenosha to give these men chance.
Many of the men busy today are
from farms in Kenosha county about
the ice fields.
Years ago the lakes of Kenosha
county were the main source of the
ice supply for Chicago, but with the
coming of the war and the jumping of
wages of common labor, the ice COM
panies found it Improbable to harvest
ice from the lakes. Less than half
the houses were filled in this county
last year. 1t is said that the changed
conditions will make it possible to
fill all of the houses. There are
about twenty large ice houses on the
lakes of Kenosha county and score
of smaller ones.

(By United pressj

Paris.-With rumors Of new wars
fitting about European chancellories,
Germany complicated the situation to-
day with brusk reply to the allies
demand for disarmament of the Ger
man citizens guard. The German re-
ply linked allied demands with the
Brussels financial conference, declar-
ing that the conference could not be
successful under such exaggerated
demands" The formal reply was
handed to the Italian and French am
bassadors and British charge d'affaires.
The hint that the financial conference
might be broken off was made orally.
The French officials called the German
linking of economic and political ques-
tions as shameless" and declared that
there might be grave complications.

CITY is SLIPPING
Off RED LEDGER
More Than 100000 of the
City's Floating Debt is
Paid Today.
TAXES ARE ROLLING IN

The city of Kenosha was slipping off
the red ledger today and some of the
people who have been holding orders
waiting for the city to get money in
the bank to provide for the payment
of them were getting their money
This morn the city treasurer ar
ranged for Mhe release of fund of
$214,00O fofA;the payment of claims
against the CITY and it was announced
by the mayor and other officials that
as rapidly asapossible all of the claims
would be p&d. The money now in
the hands of the officials is not suf-
ficient to meet all the claims but it
will go a Long way toward relieving
the fnanciab.gtringency about the city
hall. The 9ty has been paying inter
est on theseeSrders at the rate of sew
en- per cent? since they were issued
Many of them are held by the banks
which advanced the money and held
the orders pending the collection Of
the taxes for the year
Tax Collection Satisfactory.
While Trgasurer Lauer was inclin-
ed to believe that the taxes were not
coming in as rapidly as he had hoped
for, the fact that more than $2OO,O 900
had been taken in in the first week Of
tax collection was a rather satisfac-
tory report to most of the officials. 1t
set new record for the first week Of
tax collections. Thousands of tax
bills have been given out in the last
few days and it is expected that much
of this money will come in between
now and the last day|of the year.
Some of thetofficials are hopeful that
there will be, enough of the money
from taxes received to pay off all the
floating indebtedness of the city and
make it possible to start even with the
banks with the opening of the new
year. A portion of the money secur-
ed by Liberty Loan bonds and these
will be returned to the city treasury
after the money has been repaid.

PAIN OF BURNS
ENDED BY DEATH
Miss Catherine McGivern
Dies from Burns Re
ceived Tuesday.
SHOCK IS TOO GREAT

Death came at $3.50 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon to end the suffering of Miss
Catherine McGivern, the young Keno
sha woman who was found badly burn
ed on the floor of the bathroom of her
home at 165 Eagle street on Tuesday
morning. The pain from the burns
which she had received had been so
intense that she was unable to make
any statement to any of her relatives
regarding the cause of her death
Coroner Truman T. Parker on Tues
day evening made an examination into
the details of the tragedy and his re-
port, filed this morning without the
holding of any informal inquest, stated
that the woman had met her death
probably from self-inficted burns
The fact that the condition of the flesh
where the young woman had been bad
ly burned, Indicated that there had
been oil on it, strengthened the belief
that she had taken her own life while
suffering from temporary mental
arrangement.
The remains were taken to the
Mischler mortuary on Park street,
where they were prepared for burial.
They will be taken to the home on
Eagle street probably this evening.
Father Also Burned Badly.
The deceased was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John McGivern. Her
father, who was an employee of the
Allen tannery for many years, died as
a result of scalds received while work
ing at that plant. He never entirely
recovered from these injuries and
while there We're contributory causes
for his death, many friends of the
family We're recalling today the SIM
ilarity of the causes of death for the
father and the daughter.
Miss McGivern was born November
20, 1883, in Kenosha, and had lived in
this city practically all of her life.
She had been in failing health for
several years.
AT her bedside when the final sum-
mons came were her mother. Mrs.
Sarah McGivern, and three brothers.
Charles F., John R. and James ]. Nc
Givern, all of Kenosha. The funeral
services will be held Thursday morn
ing at nine o'clock at the st. James
Church with interment following in
