Father of Kenoshan Says
Army Service Dethron-
ed His Mentality.
GASSED In FRANCE
Albert M0rehouse Was Sent
Home an Invalid and Friends
Claim He Never Recovered.

Relatives of Albert Morehouse, Ke-
nosha man held in Chicago in connec-
tion with a robbery of the United
States mail at Harvard, H., today de-
clared that Morehouse was a subject
for a hospital rather than prison.
They assert that the young man is
mentally deranged and that his condi-
ton is one due to the results of mill
tary service.
81 have no desire to mitigate the
wrongdoings of the boy" declared his
father, A. R. Morehouse, this morning,
"but believe that the real facts should
be known. He has been suffering from
mental weakness ever since he came
back from France as casualty of the
war. He saw real service in the army
and anyone who has come into direct
contact with him knows that he is not
mentally strong. He was in France
eleven months and three weeks of this
time was spent in the front line trench
es. He was gassed two or three times
and when he came home, he was an
invalid. We have always believed that
his condition was the cause for the
trouble which he had with the post
Office officials in Kenosha. The letters
which he has written to his relatives
and to friends are of such rambling
nature that | am convinced that any
fair-minded person will say that the
boy is not in his right mind"
Ought to Go to Hospital.
Morehouse declared that since the
return Of his son from the army serv-
ice he had suffered from a badly swolI-
en- THROAT which at times caused him
great discomfort and that the effect Of
being gassed in the trenches in France
had been. something from which he had
never recovered.
Don't think that am seeking to
defend even my own son in the com
mission of crime, but do believe that
the case is one which should be inves-
tigated by the federal officials who have
charge of disabled soldiers" declared
the father. IF this boys mentality has
been weakened as result of the serv-
ice which he gave to his country, his
country should see to it that he is
properly cared for in a hospital rather
than be, charged with crime which
may have been the result of broken
mentality"

signed the demand for the resignation

board of directors. Stoxen and his
fellow professors against the present
management of the company, have de-
clared that their whole intent in de-
handing the resignation is to get a
new deal with the elimination Of all
of the old sore spots. Charges Of
many natures are made in the state

WEST KENosHA COUNTY FAIR.
Preparations Being Completed for Big

Preparations Being Completed for Big
Fair at Wilmot Sept. 80 to Oct. /.
The fair work for the West Kenosha
County Fair is progressing rapidly and
everything points to big fair for Ke-
nosha county. The secretary received
the entry blanks and premium books
last Monday and the same$are being
distributed this week. The premium
books are being distributed to all of
the teachers of Kenosha county and
anyone wishing to get information in
regard to the various entries, premi-
ums, etc, may get the same from che
teacher in the district in which they
reside. 1t was thought by the commit
tee that this would be the most effec-
tive means of distributing fair ma
terial. If personal copies are wanted,
the same may be obtained by making
application to R. T. Button, secretary,
West. Kenosha County Fair, Silverlake,
Wis.
Lumber has been ordered for stalls,
partitions, buildings and platforms and
the construction work will commence
at once. The various superintendents
are already at work and are reporting
fine results. Mr. Rhodes, one of the
livestock superintendent, reports he
has the promise of the entry of approx
imately 20 shorthorn cattle and also 15
horses up to the present time.
The concessions committee met last
Monday and discussed the concessions
for the fair. So far, quite number
of applications for concessions have
been received by the committee and a
number we're considered on Monday.
| The "eats" question has been taken
over by the women of the community,
so people attending the fair are as
sured of a maximum amount of whole
some food at minimum cost.
The studentsl of the Wilmot High
school are making preparations to put
on programs in order to give the pub
lie something in the way of amuse-
ments other than the regular forms
found in the concessions.
One feature which has received more
attention than any other up to the
present time, is that of the parade.
The parade will be divided into five
oCCbtOaiSs LAC OuSluGSS Lu6H bCCGlOHg
the high school section, country school
section, farmers section and the comic
section. The various classes in the
high school have already begun plans
forN the parade and a great deal of
rivalry has already been shown.
1t is expected that great many au-
tomobile dealers will avail themselves
of the opportunity to get into the pa
rade and to display the kinds of cars
which they handle. The recent drop in
automobile prices will no doubt attract
the attention of many buyers.
The application for judges from
Madison has already been sent in and
it is expected that. the names of the
! judges will be announced soon.
| One phase of the work which is es-
| pecially emphasized as may be seen by
the premium list, is the educational
exhibit. The board of directors real
lied that one of the great possibilities
of fairs is that, of getting the boys and
girls interested in farm products and
farm life.
Make Preparations to exhibit what
you can, and by all means attend the
West Kenosha County Fair, to be held
at Wilmot, September 30th and October

BIG MILK FIRM
In BITTER ROW
Delegates Demand Resigna-
ton of Officers and
Directors.
SEEKING new DEAL

That bitter war is on for the re-
organization of the Milk Producers
Cooperative Marketing company, which
numbers among its members hundreds
of Kenosha county dairy farmers, is
evidenced by matter given to the men,
bers on Tuesday.
This shows that a demand has been
made for the resignation of the entire
membership of the board of directors
and the officials of the company with
a view of effecting an organization
which will meet with the sanction of
the great rank and file of the mem
bers of the organization. The printed
matter which has been sent broadcast
indicates that the two elements fight
ing for the control of the marketing
company are hopelessly at loggerheads
and that there is not the slightest
chance of bringing them together.

CHICKEN PIE
FOR RETAILERS
All Booster Trip Men Will
Have Feed of Their Life
in Town of Salem.
PLAN HUGE Dime.

Any merchant of Kenosha who does
mt go on the booster trip with the
Kenosha Retailers association on Sep
TENDER 21st will miss the feed of his
life. This was the dope passed out by
Carl Reed of the Retailers associa-
ton who together with committee
consisting Of business men of Kenosha
and noted cooks and housewives of
Salem, have prepared the biggest
galaxy of eats yet to be set beore
mere man.
1t Shouldn't Be Done.
The people of Kenosha shouldn't be
allowed to know what they are going
to have to eat, but Carl Reed slipped
a little this morning and confded to
the News man. Chicken pie sounds
good? They are going to have lots
and lots of it at Salem. Like baked
ham? Potatoes and brown gravy, bak-
ed beans, creamed carrots, and peas =?
Escalloped corn? Could you fill up on
pickles, both kinds of bread, coffee,
fruit salad, cheese, pie and doughnuts !?
Could you? Do you want to-? See
Carl Reed or some Kenosha merchant
and get your ticket. That's the magic
way to get the eats.
Every Kenosha booster, merchant or
private individual has the right to go
and is even urged to assist in adver-
Using Kenosha. Just call up the Re-
tailers' association and leave your
name and provision will be made for a
seat in an automobile for you. AS a
word of warning, however, the ones
buying their tickets first will get the
best seats.
The various committees are to meet
Monday evening to complete the final
arrangements for the trip, secure the
music for the occasion, plan the rout-
ing and catch Up the loose ends of
the preparations for the trip. The
meetings will be held in the rooms
of the Retailers.

grand jury in Chicago within the next
few days. The fact that young More
house has made confession in con-
nection with the alleged rifing of the
