MRS. JOHNSON GETS DIVORCE.

Mrs. Pearl Johnson, after 1862 days
of welded bliss, was on Wednesday
granted a decree Of divorce from her
husband, Thomas johnson. The plain
tiff, in her bill Of complaint, alleges
that she and the defendant were mar
ried at Waukegan on January 10, 1919,
and that from the very day of their
marriage the defendant began nagging,
quarreling and making himself general
ly disagreeable. The parties to the
suit agreed that the defendant should
retain all the real estate owned by him
but that the plaintiff should have the
household effects and in addition he
should pay her $40, she paying her
own attorney s fees and costs of the
suit.5

HOLT MAKES ABLE ADDRESS
Interesting Addresses Made This AT
ter11non by z. r. o'Brien, and MIR.
Potter, Of the MILK Producers
Association.

'FThe year 1919 has been the most
noted year in the history Of the dairy
business in the United States,' said
President Holt, of the Kenosha County
Milk Producers Association at the
annual meeting held at the court house
today.
SO many things have happened
There has been more controversy, more
agitation in different sections of the
United States, not only over the dairy
business, but over the farmers in gen
eral than there has ever been before
The people are waking up to the fact
that never before has the farmer had
a fair deal and they are also waking
up to the fact that he must be given
fair show.
Other interests have men IN power
in the legislative halls to get them what
they want, but the farmer, engaged in
production, sat still. Nothing but wal
conditions could wake him. But now
he is waking up and is demanding a
fair price for his product the same al
other interests
President Holt then reviewed the
work of the Milk Producers Associa
ton and how it was affecting the sell
ing end. His annual address was 8
masterpiece from the standpoint Of in
formation in regard to the milk pro
| ducing business and deserved a Larger
audience to hear him.
Preceding the ADDRESS the association
elected TIVE directors of the State MilR
Producers Association. To represent
the eastern half of the county John Um
Land was elected and to represent the
western half, Herbert Jahns was chosen
This afternoon E. r. O'Brien, of the
Citizens Bank, of Kenosha, addressed
the milk men on the eubject Of eco
operation Among Farmers, Financial
and Social and Mr.. Potter, of the

KENOSHA PORT OF
MISSING PEOPLE
Police Asked to Search for People Miss
ing from Chicago and from
San Francisco.

Officials in other cities evidently <con-
slider Kenosha as the port of missing
women. Today letters were received
by Chief of Police O'Hare asking that
search be made for Miss Marie Chlupsa,
a decidedly comedy young girl who has
been missing from Chicago since De
cember 18th. The young woman has
big brown eyes and brown hair and
while she is but Is years of age, she
looks older. 1t is thought that she may
be living under the name of Marie
Chaplin.
San Francisco officials have asked the
Kenosha police to look for Mrs. Huet-
tey, who is missing from that city. She
has son, Henry, who served with the
Goth Engineers in France and who is
believed to have been former resident
of Kenosha. The name does not ap-
pear in the Kenosha directory.

SOFT DRINKS
UNDER LICENSE
Copy of Milwaukee Ordi-
nance to Regulate Sale of
All Beverages is Received
in Kenosha Today.

Copies of the Milwaukee ordinance
providing for the licensing of vendors
of soft drinks has been received In Ke-
nosha and it is being carefully studied
by the members of the license commit
tee of the common council with the I'M
derstanding that when constitutional
prohibition becomes effective a week
from today that it viii be considered
by the council as means of providing
revenues to take care of the loss of
revenues caused by closing down Of the
Gquor traffic.
A lot of the members Of the Kenosha
council are not favorable to the hcens-
ing of such places and there is some
doubt as to the Eigrs of any city to
provide for such licenses Ken0sha
men claim that some of the soft drink
places should be regulated as well as
saloons and that the only way TO regu-
late them is by the license route.
The matter is to be considered atsthe
next meeting of the commen council,
at the same time the council is expect
ed to be called upon to pay rebates to
the saloon men r the portions of the
licenses not used.
License Placed at S1o0.
The Milwaukee ordinance divides
the places which come under it's provi-
sions in two different classes, and pro
vides for different license fees.
Under Glass a are included all places
which manufacture or offer for sale
beverages containing alcohol All pla
ces in this class must pay license fee
Of 500 per year.
Glass B includes places where drinks
which contain no alcohol are Offered
for sale. The license fee provided fol-
these places is $25 per year.
There are also regulations concern
ing hours of closing and other details
which give the city complete control
of these places.
That some regulation Of these gath.
ering places is needed, is the opinion
of the majority Of the aldermen.
It is believed that such an ordinance
in Kenosha would bring a revenue to
the city somewhere IN the nefghborhood
of $25, 900 a year.
With the license fee of $500 per year
instead Of $500 in Kenosha, it is gen
orally conceded by saloon men here
that the nickel will again replace the
dime for drinks, thus conforming with
other cities in Wisconsin.

TRIBUTE TO SCHOOL TEAcHEB..

On the 21st of December, in Chicago
there occurred the death from acute
heart disease, of Miss Julia Han1ahs,
who for many years had been teacher
in the public schools of that city. Miss
Hannahs was a teacher in the public
schools Of Kenoshas for six years, be-
ginning her work here in 1875, and re-
signing at the close Of the school year
of 1882. Her special field was upper
grade work, and many residents of Ke-
nosha will remember Miss Julia Han
nahs as their teacher in seventh or
eighth grade.
She ranked high here and In Chicago,
where she followed the same line of
work. I remember that in '96 or '97
I was allowed a week S leave of alb
sence from my duties in the Normal
school in Stevens Point to visit Chica-
go schools and observe certain phases
Of school work going on there. It was
my pleasure to visit Julia Hannah s
room, large eighth grade of fifty or
more boys and girls in one Of the large
Chicago schools. It has been the chief
business of my life for years to visit
school rooms; and this fact coupled
with the additional fact that the visit
to Miss Hannahs' room stands out to-
day in my memory clearly, gives evil
dence that this experience was differ
ent from the ordinary.
/ was impressed by the perfect order
illness of that large body of children,
and with the smoothness and dispatch
with which the operations of the school
were carried on. Self-control, coopera-
ton, willing and happy obedience to
directions were operative-and these
meant to me able leadership, just and
wise management, and development in
right ways of the children under her
charge. / remember remarkable re-
citation in literature, which / have
many times described to my classes Of
teachers in training, as one of the best
Illustrations I had ever witnessed of 2
recitation that makes for the develop
ment in pupils of iniative and Of those
other habits of thinking which are nee
essary to success in life-which habits
are, in the final analysis of the pur-
poses of schooling, the great end of
school operations, courses of study, and
all. Such a recitation would be called
today a "socialized recitation "a
phase of present day reform in educa-
tional practice--and this was being
used by Miss Hannahs nearly quarter
of century ago.
| The loss of such teacher to a school
system is serious, and although Miss
Hannahs was approaching the time
when she would be obliged to stop ac-
tive service, she was still efficient. She
kept in the harness to the last. and
taught on the Friday before her death.
Thousands of Chicago men and women
knew her as a teacher and respect her
memory.

many Of her old pupils and associates

pathize with me in this expression Of
deep regret for her loss, and of graft
tude for her useful life.

TWO WOMEN
SEVERELY INJURED
Miss Jennie Rhodes and
Miss Jennie GennaccarO
Victims of Motor Car
Accident Thursday.

Two well known Kenesha young
women, Miss Jennie Rhodes, 5l7 West
street, instructor in typewriting at the
College Of Commerce, and Miss Jennie
Gennaccaro, 819 Pearl stree, stenograp-
her in the office Of County Coroner Tru-
man T.. Parker, had a narrow escape
from death on Thursday evening just
before six O'Clock when they were
struck by whirling motor truck chas-
sis at the corner Of Sheridan Road and
Market street. Both of the young
women were confined to their homes
today as result of injuries and the
shock which attended the accident.
Miss Rhodes had badly bruised hip
and suffered from number of bruises
and her companion suffered severe
scalp would and several bad bruises.
Injured Following Collision.
The two young women were walking
accident and they were struck by a
motor truck chassis belonging to the
Whittier Motor Car Company. The ac-
cident was most unusual one A sec
ond before the young women were
struck the motor truck chassis had col
lided with a Packard touring car driven
by w. W. Vincent, president of the
VincentAlward company. Mr.. Vincent
had driven his automobile east along
Market street at a very moderate rate
OF speed and had started to turn into
Sheridan Road when the motor truck
coming from the north along Sheridan
Road struck the front wheel of the Vim
cent car. The truck was moving at such
speed that it was impossible to prevent
the collision. The Vincent ear was not
badly damaged by the collision, but
the chassis was twisted about and it
skidded to the sidewalk striking the
two young women.
Taken to Homes in Automobile
Mr.. Vincent promptly ministered to
the two young women struck by the
truck and they were taken in his auto
mobile to their homes and physicians
called to attend them. Miss Rhodes
appeared to be suffering considerable
pain from the bruises ON her hip and
Miss Gennaccaro was bleeding profuse-
ly from a wound in her head. After the
blood had been washed away it was
found that she was not been seriously
injured.
1t is not believed that either of the
well known women were permanently
injured as a result of the accident but
they will probably be laid up for some
time from their bruises. The police Of
fcers were making an investigation of
the cause Of the accident today.
8 1t was impossible to have prevented
the collision, said Mr.. Vincent this
morning. The truck came down from
the north at such speed that it was inn
possible for me to get out of the way.
l think that the driver of the truck
tried hard to avoid the collision but it
was impossible. "
The driver of the truck this after
noon declared that the truck had been
struck by the Vincent automobile and
thrown around in such a maonner that
it struck the young women. He said
the truck was running not faster than
eight miles an hour.
