First Mounted Unit
of Cadets Organized

The first mounted unit of the student
military corps is to be established at
the University of Wisconsin this
spring.
AS soon as sixteen horses to be sup
piled by the war department arrive,
Major j. S. Wood will organize a
mounted artillery unit of the Reserve
Officers Training corps and begin
drilling at once. This will supplement
the motor truck and tractor equipment
already supplied for the artillery unit.
Although other universities have
had both cavalry and mounted artil-
lery, WISCONSIN has not had mounts
before because, until recent arrange
ments were made at Camp Randall, the
military department had no place to
keep horses.

Some interesting tax data on Keno
sha was made public today in Keno
sha when the Wisconsin Tax Commits
sion gave out a very interesting
table of taxes and the proportionate
amount paid from those taxes for the
upkeep of schools. That Kenosha
comes fourth in all the cities of the
state when the amount of money paid
for the upkeep of her school system
is but little known but this statement
is minimized when the fact is taken
into consideration that Kenosha ranks
eleventh when it comes to the tax
rate for the upkeep of her school sys-
tenn.
Could Stand Bond Issue.
Kenosha could take up all the pro-
posed bond issues for the mainten-
ance of her present system and the
construction Of her proposed new
buildings and yet be a great deal be-
hind some of the other cities of the
state when the proportionate amount
Of her taxable property for the upkeep
of the school system was considered
orbitant amount of taxes when the
proportionate values of her property is
taken into consideration can be read
lily seen by a careful survey of the
following table.
Towns Support Schools.
The little city of Augusta with
population of 14O7 according to the
1920. census paid during the last year
.0273 of all her taxable property.
Likewise the little village of Alma with
a population of 900 spent .027S per cent
of all her taxes for the upkeep of her
school system. Getting into the same
class with Kenosha when the popula-
ton Of the different cities are taken
into consideration some interesting
facts are brought to light that should
effectually squash the opponents of
the bond issue proposed for the up
keep of the school system in Kenosha.
Sheboygan with population ten thou
sand less than Kenosha paid in q tax
rate of .0155 while Kenosha with 49,
600 population paid in .0109.
The entire state of Wisconsin with
a total population according to the
1920 census 1,32S,752, with an assess
ed value on all property of $l,743,2S3,-
sol paid a total amount of school taxes
of $17,672,6 52 or per cent of assessed
value of .010140. This is not as good
record as of many of the other
states but when the population fig
ures are considered by the entire
states, Wisconsin ranks among the
foremost. The table below will be of

Specifications for Repaving
Main and Other Streets
Made Public.
MANY FAVOR ASPHALT
Committee Asks Bids on CreO-
soted Blocks Asphalt and
Vitrifed Brick Pavement.

Bids on three types of paving for
Main street and other streets to be
improved in connection with the work
of Strengthening out Main street and
the completion of the new bridge are
asked in the formal specifications for
the work which were completed in the
Office of the city engineer this morn
ing and which will be submitted to
bids on April Sth. The three types
for which bids are asked are creosoted
blocks, vitrifed brick and sheet asphalt
and it is understood that the city COM
mittee will recommend to the council
the acceptance of the bid which will
give to the city the best contract. No
material for the paving is especially
favored by the committee. If Main
street is repaved with creosoted blocks
it will be the first street in Kenosha
to be so improved. Experts claim that
this type of pavement has proved very
satisfactorily in many of the larger
cities and it is said that the work can
be done at a price no higher than the
cost of brick or asphalt pavement.
Many Merchants Like Asphalt.
It is declared that there is. consid-
cradle sentiment among the merchants
on the street for the improvement with
asphalt and it is not improbable that
the council will hear a committee from
property owners before the final deci-
sion is made. Many of the merchants
have declared themselves in favor of
the old reliable brick pavement.
The most interesting feature of the
specifications is that they demand that
the street shall be repaved and turned
over to the city on or before the first
day of August 1921 The men in the
engineering force believe that this
will mean the completion of the pave
ment as early as the bridge is COM
pleted and ready for traffic.
The specifications provide for the
repaving of three of the streets of the
city. Main street is to be repaved from
South street to South Water street
just north of the Schlitz' hotel. Grand
avenue, on account of changes ini the
grade, must be repaved from sthe in
tersection with Milwaukee avenue to
Main street, and Pearl street for the
same reason must be repaved from
Main street to APPOINT 1920 feet west
It is the plan Of the committed TO hava
all contracts awarded to zone company
with view Of having the work meet
with the least possible delay. With
the bids opened week from today it
is expected that the work of repaving
will be started by the middle iof April
and this should give the contractor in
charge ample times to complete the
work by the first of August.

Hair that loses its color and lus-

Of other ingredients by asking at

"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which darkens the hair SO
naturally. SO evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been ap-

or soft brush with IT and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the
hair after a few applications, it
also brings back the gloss and lus-
tire and gives it an appearance Of
