CERMANS TRADE
 WITH CHINA NON
Gradually Returning to Pick Up
 Threads Of Business

London, Dec. 14.-The Germans are gradually returning to China and picking up the threads of their for mcr business; not trading for the present under their own names but in partnership with Chinese. says a re port on the commercial situation of China, by Ii. II. Fox, commercial counselor of the British legation in Picking.
 German dyes and paints needles, metals, drugs and sundries are begin ming to appear on the Shanghai mar ket, the report goes on, and it is stat ed that several important orders for machinery and electric plant have re- gently been booked by German firms.
 There is no doubt the report says, that the Germans, assisted by the comparative Cheapness of their prod ucts, will gradually recover the share they held in China's foreign trade be- fore the war, but the process will be slow, as they have lost valuable con- nections; the business organizations they had so labOrious]y built up have been shattered, and they have auf- fered a serious loss of prestige in the eyes of the Chinese.

Roads Until Later in the Year
To Grant Appropriation.

The county board took an adjourn
ment at noon today without taking any
final action in regard to road building.
1t was forecasted that the bid for the

penditure of at least $4,000.
This afternoon the board was to APP

opposition to this project. -,.z

eminent Died at Home
of Daughter.
WAS IN UNION ARMY

Edwin L. Richmond aged n years,
veteran of the Civil war and for more
than thirty years in the government
service as an assistant in the office of
the Post Master General at Washing
ton, died at the home of his daughter
Mrs. Charles G. Frantz, $50 Fremont
Avenue on Friday evening following a
short illness from a COZ ,l;cation Of
diseases.
Mr.. Richmond had come to Kenosha
from Washington six weeks ago to
make his home with his daughter and
shortly after his arrival he was taken
i'll and complications which developed
brought his death. The funeral will be
held on Monday. It will be private
and the remains will be laid at rest
by the side of those of his wife who
died in 1880, in the family plot at
Green Ridge.
Had Notable Career.
Mr.. Richmond was a pioneer news
paper man in Kenosha and for years
was connected with the publication
of the old Kenosha Telegraph. He is
remembered by the pioneers as man
who gave much to the service of the
older Kenosha and his career as a
public servant in Washington prob
ably continued over a longer period
than that of any Kenosha has given
to the public service.
Mr.. Richmond was born at Utica,
Mich, June 4, 1913. He came to Ke
nosha as young man and began his
work on the Telegraph. He was
married in Kenosha to Miss Josephine
Henry.
When the Civil War broke out he
volunteered as a member of one of the
Kenosha companies and he saw long
service. He was desperately wound
ed in the battle Of Spottsylvania Court
House and through life he bore the
marks of this great battle.
Enters Government Service in 1880.
In 1880 following the death of Mrs.
Richmond he was appointed to a posi-
ton in the Post Office Department in
Washington. He advanced rapidly I'M
til he was regarded as an authority
on the postal service of the nation. He
retired from this work a little over
eight years ago and had made his
home in the east until he came to Ke-
nosha.
Mr.. Richmond is survived by two
sons W. L. Richmond of Yonkers, New
York and C. w. Richmond of Washing
ton D. C. and by two daughters, Mrs.
H. D. Keuer of St. Louis, Mo-, and
Mrs. Charles Frantz of Kenosha.
He was widely known among the old
er residents of Kenosha and he had
been very active in work for the ad-
vancement of the cause of soldiers of
the Union Army.

WOMAN IS FIGHTING CASE IN COURT
Mrs Catherine Kraa Wants Three Children Placed in
Catholic institution in Preference to Letting
Them go With Father

Kraai has appealed to the court for
assistance and is. at loss as to just
what to do. Il want my kids, the three
of them, and l want them to go with
me. I'm willing that Mrs. Kraai should
go to. have a home for them and am
making good money. If she doesn't
want to go, why can't she let me have
the children who think the world of
me, instead of putting them in some
institution" he said. Attorney Stew
art has gotten out writ. of habeas
corpus and no doubt will serve the
writ sometime today and obtain pos
session of the children.
Attorney Baker intimated yesterday
that he would file suit for divorce in
the circuit court and that the case
would be fought to a finish.
Gets Restraining Order.
The three children were produced in
municipal court yesterday afternoon
on the writ of habeas corpus drawn up
by Calvin Stewart. Attorney Baker
was in court and it was mutually
agreed that all the interested parties
to the divorce action should meet in
the municipal court this morning at
nine o'clock to determine who is the
proper person to have custody of the
children. Attorney Baker then went
to Court Commissioner Buckmaster
who issued a restraining order in the
absence Of Judge Belden, which does
not permit Kraai to take his children
until the case is brought up in the
circuit court.

Chicago Has a
Coop. Glovery
Chicago Has the Only Cooperative
Glove Factory in the Country
Statesmen Are Unnecessary.

Chicago. - Chicago's cooperative
glove factory-the only one of its kind
in the country-has proved a complete
success, according to officials of the
glove workers union. Not only is the
factory turning out gloves but they
find ready market, says Miss Agnes
Nestor, president of the union. The
output is also sold by a cooperative
system Of stores, mostly located in
mining communities of southern Illi-
nois and Pennsylvania.
"Our factory is busy all the time"
Miss Nestor said. eve have no diff
Guilty in getting rid Of our output. We
dispose Of our goods through the Cen
trail Cooperative Store, which in turn
reaches the numerous small branch
stores around the country. In this
way it is not necessary for us to en-
ploy statesmen. The cooperative stores
are controlled by the workers Of the
community and they have expressed a
willingness to help us. Thus our out
put goes practically from factory to
consumer, with the middle man elm
mated"
At the present time only leather
gloves, such as used by working men,
are being made. 1t is the intention,
Miss Nestor said, to make gloves from
other materials later. The glove plant,
which was established Nov. 29th, 1920,
now employs about Is workers. It
was begun merely as an experiment
in the cooperative movement, after
the period of inactivity in the glove
industry resulting, according to the
union, from strike and from what
the manufacturers claim was shut
down due to lack Of work.
Stock in the new project was all
subscribed by the workers themselves.
The factory is in charge of board of
five directors, three women and two
men. The board elects its officers and
the manager, who have charge of the
business management. Miss Nestor
said farmer organizations in various
parts of the country have offered aid.

DIVORCE MLLLIN
CIRCUIT COURT
DEGREES Handed Down by
Judge Belden on Fri
day Afternoon.
OLD BONDS BROKEN

The divorce mill was grinding in the
circuit court on Friday afternoon and
during the afternoon Judge Belden
handed down DEGREES granting abso-
Lutte divorces to three women who
claimed that the marriage ties had
become irksome.
Most interesting on the divorce cal
endar was the suit Of Mrs. Gertrude
Woodward, who asked freedom from
her husband, Morris A. Woodward on
charges Of failure to provide. The
couple were married at Genoa juno
tion way back in December of 1881 and
they had lived together for more than
twenty-nine years. Woodward did not
appear to contest the granting Of the
decree and the wife secured it by de.
fault. Before the parties came into
court, an agreement had been made by
which valuable property was trans
ferred to Mrs. Woodward. While there
were six children as result of the
marriage, and all Of them living, none
were affected by the decree of divorce
Other Divorces Granted.
MRS. Carrie Tanke was granted
divorce from her husband, Walter
Tanke, on charges of non-support. The
couple were married in June of 1902
and they had one child, the custody of
which was awarded to the Wife *@S
Angelina Bourch found her married
relations with Frank Bourch of very
short duration. They were married at
Waukegan in July of 1919. Mrs.
Bourch charged extreme cruelty and
she was awarded the custody of the
one child and alimony for its support.
