"A Happy Event
JOerndt Family

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred F. Joerndt, will
leave for Madison on Tuesday next, to
attend the Commencement Exercises of
the University Of Wisconsin, which
will occur on Friday, the 25th, at
which time their son, Clarence, will
graduate with honors from the state
university.
On the same day d daughter, OrelIa,
will graduate from the High school
of Kenosha.
The F. f. Joerndt family is one
that believes in putting children
through school, no matter what the
sacrifice-and it has not been with
out sacrifice that the following record
Of graduation has been achieved:
Eleanor, from four-year scientific
course in 1912; Mildred, whose death
occurred in February last, from four
year commercial course in 1918; Clar-
ence, from same course in 1915; Leona
in 1918, and last and youngest, Orella,
in 1920.
Mr.. Joerndt is Of the same belief
as the old New England farmer, who
when criticised for spending so much
money to have his son given a college
education, replied that he had rather
leave his money in his boy than to
his boy.
Not one of the children of this
family has fallen short of the goal, and
"a chief reason for this is that from
the start they were never allowed to
think that they could stop, before COM
pleting the high school course.
Congratulations are due this family
for the record it has made, and honor
able mention is due the father and
mother, who by their devotion and
their self-sacrifce, have enabled five
children to equip themselves for use
full and efficient service.
With the happiness felt at this serv-
ice over success won, there is mingled
the sorrow for the absence of Mildred
from the family circle.
Clarence win be at home for the two
months of the summer vacation, and
in September will go to New York,
where he viii take position With The
National City Bank, in which inBtitu-
ton he has for the past two summers
bee,- employed.

TIRED OF LIFE
TRIES SUICIDE
Miss Myrtle Jones Found
with Both Wrists Cut on
Floor Of Bedroom.
CUPID HAS A HAND?

II don't want to live - I'm tired of
life, sobbed out Miss Myrtle Jones,
aged Il, just after midnight this morn
ing when she was found almost un-
conscious lying on the floor of her
bedroom by her sister Miss Margaret
Jones at their boarding house To-
Gated at 81 North Pleasant st. She
had cut both her wrists with the blades
of a safety razor and was weak from
the loss of blood. 1t is believed that
she had planned to cut her throat al
so but had tainted after cutting deep
wounds in the wrists of both hands.
A doctor was summoned Immediately
and arrived in tina TO save the girls
life. 1t is said that she has repented
of her rash act and is ready to begin
all over again.
Hints Of Love Quarrel.
The young lady had left no note Of
any kind to explain her action. She
told her sister and the physician that
"she was sick and tired of loving"
and that she had attempted suicide in
a moment of melancholy She had re-
turned to her rooms after attending a
social gathering and had made the
rash attempt just after reaching her
rooms.
There were rumors, however, that
the young lady had had lovers quar-
rel and that this may be the explana-
ton for the near-tragedy.
Miss Jones came to Kenosha only
a short time ago from Kingston, Wis
consin, with her sister. She has been
employed at the Cooper Underwear
and since living in Kenosha has made
many friends, who fail to understand

MONEY MONEY
AND NO OWNER
Small Fortune, Rapidly In
Creasing, Has No One
to Claim 1t.
PAYEE AT MENDOZA

Some day the Misses Maria and
Agatha Zibit, now somewhere in Po-
land. and Mrs. Tichon Osajonek, 507
Elizabeth street, Kenosha, will fall
heirs to rapidly growing fortune but
the day is most vaguely uncertain.
Just now eighty dollars month is
coming into Kenosha with no one to
claim it and no one to use it; check
by check it is being added to sixteen
hundred dollars already deposited to
the same unusual account.
The strange case arises out of the
fact that the owner of the money is
hardly more than name on the record
books at the Mendoza State hospital.
He is Lucas zibit, formerly a good
workman in local factories, but now
only piece of wreckage from the
world-war. The monthly checks are
his payments from the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance.
His Mind Now Blank.
a keen-minded young man, born
near wilma in Russian Poland but q
loyal citizen of the United States,
Zibit went to war from Kenosha in
the spring Of 1918. He thrived on
soldering rntil the heat Of southern
camp overcame him and sent him to
the mental ward of base hospital.
Here his case was Immediately dag
nosed as serious.
Army physicians and surgeons did
everything they could to restore his
reason, but failed to make. any inn
preston on the strange maiady which
had overtaken him.
Accordingly, he was committed to
the state hospital for the insane at
Mendoza, where he is still receiving
treatment for what seems to be an
incurable mental illness. Local physi-
clans, who interviewed him recently
report that he cannot remember his
name and that he answers nothing
when questions are put to him.
The state alienists offer little if any
hope for his ultimate recovery. And
yet his physical health is good. He
may live year or many years.
In the meantime the United States
government will continue his monthly
checks for eighty dollars, the amount
allowed him for his disability by the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance. 1t
will be received regularly and just as
regularly deposited to his credit at
a local bank,
His heirs, in case of death, are his
sisters, the Misses Maria and Agatha
zibit, who still live near Wilma in Rus
sian Poland, and Mrs. Tichon Osajonek
Of 507 Elizabeth street, Kenosha
They are heart-broken over his war
jury and have done everything in their
power to see that he had not good but
the best medical attention. Mrs
Osajonek is in constant communities
tion with him through her attorney
A. q. Buckmaster, but to date she has
received no indication that he would
ever be well enough to claim his ever
increasing fortune.

KENOSHA STOCK
SAVES GRAHAMS
z Andy" Graham's Flyer
to Aid Marshall Co.
Proves Anchor.
STOCK IS VALUABLE
Small Block of Stock in Marsh
all Ventilated Mattress Co.
Valued at Million and HaIf.


ANDY Graham" was famous old
Chicago banker known as being help
full to struggling men and women. He
was accustomed to aid in getting in
dustries started and one time he came
over the state line into Wisconsin and
helped few struggling men form a
company in Kenosha. Yesterday the
stock of that company. which had been
given to the late Andrew Graham for
his aid in getting the company started
was put into escrow in the federal
court to insure the payments of the
debts Of the Graham Banking company.
1t was declared from the bench that
the value Of the stock held by Graham
amounted to $1,500,000, The stock was
in the Marshall Ventilated Mattress
company. 1t is now Chicago concern
but it was only little while ago that
it was located out on Market street in
Kenosha and the announcement that
O block of stock given to the old Chi
cago banker for aid in promoting was
worth S1,500,000 will be Of great in
terest to some Kenosha people.
Just Took Flyer.
The Marshall Ventilated Mattress
company was established only few
years before the death of Andrew Graz
ham and the failure Of his bank in
Chicago came just little while after
his death. When the company's pro-
nloters first came to Kenosha they Sc
cured aid of several Kenosha capital
lists but there was not nearly money
enough to provide even for the limited
capital needed by the company and
they appealed to Graham to stake a
flyer" The Marshall company came
here and opened business in couple
of rooms Of the plant Of the Windsor
Spring company and it grew but it did
not grow rapidly.
just before the war the company
made call for the sale Of stock for
its enlargement. The stock was not
Forthcoming from Kenosha people and
the company moved to Waukegan and
later to Chicago. Then Andy Graham
gave the company lift and threw the
stock into the vaults Of his bank as
collateral
War Made Company Rich.
Then the war made the company
rich and made Graham's sons poor.
When they came over to the courts the
other day with the stocks Of Graham,
it was found that the stock in the old
Kenosha company was one Of the most
valuable Of his assets. 1t was pledged
for the million and half with the
court on Friday.
The announcem ent was made that
the sons Of old Andy Graham were go
ing to pay the depositors Of the bank
every dollar that was coming to them.
There are lot Of depositors Of the
bank in Kenosha. Twenty per cent
will be paid to these people at once
and personal notes of the members Of
the Graham family will be given to the
creditors to insure the payment Of the
remainder Of the claims. The stock in
the former Kenosha factory is the
surety for payment of million and a
half of the claims.

CARNATIONS may be brought under the
banner of the committee. 1t is admit
ted that some of the organizations
which have been lined up behind the

bodies to the new party when the time

Given National Ticket.

see in the movement chance for them
to get regular ticket in the county

will prevent them from being forced to
run as independent candidates for the
Offices they are seeking.

expected five or six political leaders
to go to the third party convention in
Chicago. He named several men who
have been prominent in progressive
movements and one woman who has
been a leader in the battle for suffrage
in this section of the state. Neither
the men or the woman could be found
this morning and their names are not
connected with the movement without
