AGAINST ENMARK

The charges Of conversion of trust
funds brought against Contractor A.
Enmark of Lake Forest by officials of
the Kenosha Homes company, were dis
missed in the Municipal Court on
Thursday afternoon following the pay
ment of the costs by Enmark. 1t was
announced that full and final settle
ment between the contractor and the
Homes Company had been reached and
that the settlement was satisfactory to
all people concerned. The warrant on
which Enmark was arrested at Lake

made the amount in dispute was whit
tied down to a little less than $500.
There was no formal arraignment of
Enmark in the Municipal Court and the
settlement between the contractor and
the officials of the Homes company was
reached out of court.

had not only become self. supporting
but that he had provided considerable
to the support of his parents. His pa

record of the people of Kenosha and
the amount Of federal business trans
acted here, they were justified in ask
ing the government not to handicap the
development of the city of Kenosha by
refusing to join in the establishment
of this civic center.
Tells Persuasive Facts

ignition, the business men point out
the following in regard to Kenosha $
past record:
The city of Kenosha has been first
in the Seventh Federal Reserve District
in its support of the government in
every war activity, not only financially,
but in every other respect. The amount
of federal taxes received by the gov
eminent from this community will COM
pare favorably with any other city in
the United States. The business con-
Quoted in its federal post Office build
ing is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Every manufacturing institution in the
city of Kenosha is increasing the size
of it's plant and employing larger num-
Der of men. The monthly payroll of
the factories of the city of Kenosha
amounts to nearly $2,5o0,000 and by
the time the request herein made is
granted it will be nearer $3,500,0 900 for
the reason that this city and its manu-
featuring interests grow fast, which
fact may be verified by consulting gov
eminent records of the amount of bust
ness transacted by the post Office in
this city,
Ask Prompt Favorable Action.

September primary said one Of the
members of the county committee this
"and I wouldn It want. to say
that 1 would support Dithmar or any
one else at this time. May be Kenosha
county will have candidate Of it's own
for governor by the middle of the sum
mer and if we should have one we
want to be free to line up behind him.
Most every man in public life at Madi-
son feels that this year is the time he
wants to run for governor. Let them all
run, but we don t want to bothered
with candidates at this time''
This appeared to be the general SEN

however, that it is a large State street

THE NATION BUILDER.
More than two centuries have been
covered during which time the Hebrew
colonies became united into the Israel
itish nation. Our English Colonies were
all settled, in i733, fought against the
French as the Hebrews against the
Philistines and established our govern

That the Hebrews took more than two
centuries for the same task in some
measure shows our debt to the things
they had taught US before we started
to lay the foundations under circum-
stances that were similar. Moses like
Colombus was the big figure in the
cslonizing period while Samuel holds
