POSTPONE DATE
FOR EXAMINATION
Examination for Army
Commissions to be Held
October 23rd.
EXEMPTIONS GRANTED

| Kenosha young men who have
iplanned to take the examinations to
be held for commissions in the United
States army are interested in the an
nouncement given out officially today
| that the examinations have been post
poned until October 23rd. The an
nouncement also carries the informa-
ton that those who have taken train
ing at any. of the accredited universe
ties will be granted exemption from
the mental examination. The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin is one of the ac-
credited schools. The announcement
follows:
The examination for appointment of
End lieutenants in the regular army,
scheduled for September 4, has been
postponed by the War Department IN
til October 23rd. It is also announced
that preliminary physical examina-
tions will be held periodically from
August 18th until few days prior
to the final test, in order that all can
didates may select date convenient
to themselves. Although applications
already received by Corps Area COM
manders indicate that the candidates
will be thoroughly representative both
in quality and numbers, it is believed
that. all qualified applicants will re-
ceive commissions.
In an effort to procure as many
young men as possible who are fitted
for the army by education and train
ing it has been decided to grant ex-
emptions from the mental examina-
tions to especially recommended mem
bers of the Reserve officers Training

Fort Worth, Tex. = Society dowag-
ers of Texas are busily building ro-
mances for Miss Anne Burnett. Fol
she has suddenly become the most eli
gible young woman in the Southwest
These are some of the things Miss
Burnett owns:
Three great stock ranches whose
area is more than half as large as all
Rhode Island.
Two skyscrapers in Fort Worth.
A home in Fort Worth that cost
100000.
Liberty bonds valued at 100000.
Stocks and bonds that bring her en-.
tire holdings to $15,OOO,OOO.
It is all hers because her grand.
father, Captain S. B. Burnett, regard.
ed as the wealthiest man in Texas
died recently and left her the bulk Of

his estate. And he cut off his only
surviving son, Tom L. Burnett, with
$4,000 a year.
A provision of the will was that
Tom, himself wealthy rancher, will
get nothing if he tries to break the
will. Administrators say there will be
no contest.
Tom was recently divorced from his
wife, formerly Lucille Mulhall, who
with her father took part in rodeo
shows.
Captain Burnett was Texas cow
boy who fought Indians and hunted
buffalo. When he died at IA he was
banker, rancher and capitalist. He
started on borrowed money and built
up his holdings until he owned three
ranches covering 100000 acres, stocked
with high-bred cattle. Some of the
biggest Texas oil wells were drilled on
his property.

The value of the personal property in
the city should run somewhere in the
neighborhood of $18,OOO,0OO as compar-
ed with the valuation of year ago.
No Call for Alarm.
"Some of the members of the council
feared that an unfair increase in the
assessment was planned, ~ said the as
SCISSOR, "but the change which is be-
ing made is one in keeping with the
efforts to meet the provisions of the
state law and properly divide the tax
burden rather than to increase taxes.
1t does not mean the increase of a cent
in taxes. When the city council figures
out its budget and makes its levy, the
only difference will be that the tax
will be assessed on a higher valua-
ton. The amount to be raised will not
in any way be changed. For some time
the state has been asking for a fair
reasonable full value assessment.
This will be about eighty per cent of
the value as shown by the considera-
ton of actual scales and it appears to
us as a reasonable value"

Lord Northcliffe was by far the most
noted figure in British journalism, and
the first question on every ones lips
was as to what effect his death will
have upon the policies of the Times
and his other newspapers, which since
the end of the war have strongly OPP
posed the Lloyd George administration
and it's principles with the notable ex-
ception of it's dealings with Ireland,
which the Northcliffe press supported
throughout.
1t was stated the cause Of Lord
Northcliffe's death was the production
of pus within the heart, which was fol-
lowed by acute blood poisoning.

Smith of Columbus claim to be the on

ors as swimmers and fancy divers.
They're so much alike that Ruth has
to identify action pictures of herself
by studying out the broken finger on
Eleanor's left hand.
Wearing the colors of Ohio State
University, the Smith sisters, as fresh
men, established district records in
the only three meets in which they
competed during the indoor tank sea-

Cholera is Raging
in the Ukraine
By VIM. M. Sweets.


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
London-Europe's greatest cholera
epidemic is now raging in its last
stronghold, the Ukraine, according to
DR.. j. L. McElroy, who has been for
the past year district physician for
the American Relief Administration in
the Ukraine.
Both the cholera epidemic and tire
less terrible spotted-typhus epidemic
have at present, however, become more
alarming in Odessa and the Ukraine
than they have ever been in Russia
without excepting even the Saratovr
region, he told the United States.
The continual importing of refugees
from the Volga into Odessa, has
taxed the facilities of the Relief Ad-
ministration to the fullest, according
to McElroy.
"There are today 1000 cases of
cholera in ODESSA and fully 100000
cases in the Ukraine" DR.. McElroy
stated. The number of typhus cases
are approximately twice that number.
Ire present death rate of the cholera
victims is sixty per cent, with typhus
only about ten per cent.
"The Russian epidemic centres have
become very much quieter in the past
six months, thanks to the govern
ment's measures and it's cooperation
with the American Relief organiza-
tions. We hope to reduce the proper
tions of the epidemic to a much less
alarming degree before the winter"
"Our greatest trouble in checking the
diseaes," he continued, "has been in
not being able to check the indiscrim-
mate entry of refugees, starving and
infected, from other areas. Once in
the Ukraine it is almost impossible
for them to continue into other count
ries, unless they run the risk of be-
ing shot by the border sentries, and
they can only roam the streets of
Odessa, menace to the already
stricken people.
"Those fortunate enough to obtain
passports are required to undergo
vaccination against cholera, but the
vaccination is easier to secure than
the passport. Attempts at bribery of
the guards is often attempted, but the
governmental system of unexpectedly
changing the guard makes this method
bad gamble for the fugitive.
"The Ukrainian government is at
present operating four hospitals in
Odessa, but practically all their sup
plies and medicines are given them by
the Relief Administration, through the
donations of the American Red Cross"

Pair Found Drunk on Birch
Road Get Lashing and
Fine in Court.
TWO GLASSES OF BEER
But the Other Defendants Are
Shyer of Telling What
They Had.

"You are charged with intoxication
in this city on the thirteenth day
of August. What have you to say,
bully or not guilty?
These are the words that are adj
dressed to the small group Of miscre-
ants who face Judge Slater in the
municipal court Monday morning, as
their names are called. The warm
summer sunshine streams in through
the eastern windows, through its d.
agonal light on the floor. The shoes
squak as the defendants, one by one,
come forward Very rarely, but once
in blue moon, the defendant is a
woman.
This One Has Five Children.
Two people, a man and woman,
both from Evanston, were brought into
court as result of drunken fight on
the Birch road, Sunday. When they
were found by Deputy Sheriff Nicholas
Otto they were in the roadside along
their Ford automobile, and were said
to have been intoxicated and tearing
the clothes off of each other in rage.
The women gave her name as Mar
garet Minkes, and said that she had
five children and that her husband and
she had been separated for five years.
Haven't you any respect for your
self? asked the judge. "You, the
mother of children %
Mrs. Minkes said that she had had
only "two glasses of beer" and that
it had never happened before and
would never happen again. On her plea
of guilty she was fined So and costs.
True Oleson, the NTH who was ar
rested at the same time, pleaded guilty
to the charge Of driving a car while
intoxicated.
II don't know of anything more dan
gerous to the general public than for
drunken man to drive a car" de-
clared Judge Slater as he fined Oleson
thirty-fve dollars and costs.
Monday Morning Forgetfulness.
George Anderson was fined thirty
five dollars and costs also for driving
an automobile while intoxicated.
AS each person was charged with
drunkenness, Judge Slater sought to
probe into the history Of the case, how
it happened, where it happened, and
what and how much the man had to
drink. But as a. rule, the men were
vague about it. They couldn't re-
member"
There were only about half dozen
cases of intoxication over the week
end. The remainder of the defendants
were for speeding.

Assessor Stevens Has Made Uniform Increase
on Lands and improvements of
1912 Per Cent.
Is MUCH NEARER TO TRUE VALUE
Total Increase in Value of Lands and Buildings Will be
Over Five Million Dollar Mark - Amount
of Taxes Not Changed.

uniform increase of practically
twelve and half per cent in the valu-
alton Of all the real estate in the city
is provided for in the new assessment
report completed by Assessor John w.
Stevens on Thursday and laid before
the members of the city council at the
special meeting on Thursday after
noon. 1t is understood that the change
in valuation meets with the approval
Of the members Of the city board of
review. The dollars and cents increase
in the value Of the assessment Of lands
and improvements in the city will be
in the neighborhood of $5,2O0,000. This
will bring property in Kenosha up to
en- assesessment equivalent to eighty
per cent of it's true value. This is held
by the assessor to meet the sugges-
ton of the state law that property be
assessed at a flair reasonable market
value" There will be no favorites
played in the spreading of the in
creased assessment and all property in
the city will be given the uniform in
crease following the view of the prop
erty by the assessor and his aids
Last year the value of the property
was fixed at about siXty-fve per cent
Of the fair market value. The increase
is made with a view of better meet
ing the demands of the state for as
sessment and the value as returned by
the local assessment board is expected
to be pretty close to the value set on
land and improvements in the city
by the state tax commission, in max
ing its valuation on which to base
the levy of state taxes.
Council Gets First Look.
The members of the council were
submitted figures on the assessment
and the amount of the increase and
the figures were said to be satisfac-
tory. The increase in valuation has
nothing to do with the amount of
taxes to be levied, but it is not i'm
probable that the increase i'm the valu-
alton will bring some decrease in the
number of mills found necessary to
meet the expenses of the city and the
mill levy for next year may fall below
The thirty mark. The assessment of
he personal property is still to be
made and if a uniform increase is
brought in the personal property the
Total assessment will show an increase
from eight to ten millions over the
assessment returned last year. Such
IN increase would mean the addition
If $4,000 to the city's fund for each
mill Of taxation ordered levied by the
rity at it's meeting on the first Mon
lay in December.

The assessed valuation of lands in
