which his induction motor, wireless

His alternating system is in use all

FUN
BY BERTON BRALEY

The ordinary boy believes
That life is chiefly lived for play,
He most reluctantly receives
Advice that points the other way.
His lessons pain him to the heart,
His tasks annoy him, one and all,
He wants to let 'em go, and start
A game Of ball.
He reads his books because he must,
He does his chores with rancor grim,
They fill him with a dull disgust,
Because he wants to go and swim.
In duty he will take no pride,
His labors give him quite a pang,
He'd rather toss them all aside
And join sthe' gang"
But we of older growth contrive
To teach him nobler, higher aims,
We fit him properly to strive
For something Bigger than his
games
Yet, in spite of all that we advise,
In play alone he takes delight!
(And in cur hearts we realize
The kid is rightl)

UNUSUAL PEOPLE.

Muskogee, Okla. William Snod-
grass learned broom making as a boy.
Preferring not. to be tied all his life
to that one trade, however, he learned
piano tuning, too. 1t was for amuse-
ment that he began carving toys. At
all three of these pursuits he is an
expert, teaching them as we'll as fol-
lowing them himself.
But Snodgrass' main business is
fruit raising. He has a model orchard
of 400 trees and vineyard of 600
vines. He requires no help to care for
them, except during the rush of pick
ing time.
It was by tinkering with his own
machine that he became a clever au-
tomobile repair man and at this occu-
patton he makes considerable money

Daily Health Hint
BEWARE OF DANDRuFF.
BV DIR. RI. III. BISHOP.

Most Of the bald-headed men you
see in the front row at the musical
comedy might not have been bald if
they had taken pains to cure dandruff
in earlier years. For numerous cases
Of badness are due to dandruff.
There are two forms of dandruff.
One is attended with scaling or crusts
and drying of the scalp. In the other
form, the scales unite with oil frem
the scalp and form crust over the
head. This is the form that causes
badness.
Dandruff is Catching" usually be-
ing spread by promiscuous use Of the
comb and brush.
Debility, constipation and other con-
ditions that undermine the health are
future causes Of falling hair.
AS badness increases, dandruff less
ems. The disease is one Of early life,
coming usually between the twentieth
and thirtieth years. Both sexes lose
their hair from dandruff, though wom-
en- rarely become bald, as do men.
Heredity also has something to do
with badness. one does not inherit
badness but an Individual often in
herits a weak-muscled scalp.
With men the shape Of the hat has
much to do with the shedding of hair.
Stiff hats should be blocked to the
exact shape of The owners head so as
not to press too tightly at any one
spot.
Scalp massage is effective in pre-
venting badness. It must be done at
least once a day and two or three
times will do no harm.
Grasp the scalp with the open hand
and with firm pressure endeavor to
gather up handful in bunch. Use
first one hand for few grabs and
then the other. Keep it up for FIVE
minutes, going over the scalp thor
oughly until the skin is in warm
glow.

LEARN A WORD A DAY.

Today's word is ornithorhynchus.
It's pronounced - or-ni-tho-rin-ku s,
with accent slightly upon the second
and more strongly upon the fourth
syllable.
It means-a small animal with q
bill resembling ducks, webbed feet,
dark fur and broad, fattened tail
a native of southern and eastern Aus
tralia and Tasmania.
It comes from-a combination of
Greek words meaning "bird" and
"snout" or "heak."
It's used like this-"A fine speci-
men of ornithorhynchus has arrived
in this country from Australia, on its
way to the New York ZOO"

HELP YOUR OWN POST OFFICE

The annual report Of the Post Office De-
nsrtnent. shows that Kenosha is sixth on the
list in wisconsin in the amount of postal re-
cepts It is lust littleIhard to see why ke-
nosha should be sixth in postal receipts when 1T
is third from the standpoint Of population and
third in the standpoint Of industrial activity
among the larger cities of Wisconsin. 1t is
lust possible that some Of us are over looking a
big chance to boost our own institutions
The standing of post office from the mea-
sure of business done year by year, is regarded
as the measure Of it's Importance In Washington
and if Kenosha wants to get consideration along
the lines of new buildings and added equipment
it must show to the department that the bust
ness here deserves such consideration. We are
not suggesting that all the people of the city
join a correspondence school in order to boost
the postal receipts but we are suggesting that
every penny that any Kenosha industry has to
spend for postage be Dpent in Kenosha and we
suggest that it is entirely legitimate for instl-
buttons who have their main business in Keno
sha and branches in other cities to aid by buy
ing stamps for other branches here. 1t is
possible that this might be little inconvenience
but things that are little inconvenient are
usually decidedly helpful.
Kenosha has a big proposition to put up to
the United States Government in short time
1t wants the government to join with the city
and the county in the big movement for the
creation Of the civic center. If this plan is
carried out the government must spend some
money here. 1t must spend a lot of money and
erect in Kenosha federal building which will
be in keeping with the buildings to be erected
by the city and county as part Of that civic
center.
The federal officials are going to be slow to
expend any considerable sum of money for
buildings in Kenosha unless it is shown that the
business of the Kenosha post office warrants
such consideration. The postal expenditures
of city reflect pretty clearly the need of
equipment here and this reflection is the thing
that is going to determine appropriations IN
doubtedly it will be easy to have an accommod-
ating congressman introduce bill for an appro-
priation and make fight for it. The easiest
thing that any congressman does is to intro
duce a bill for an appropriation for one of the
cities in his district but introducing bills and
getting appropriations are horses Of different
color.
The~pie counter is long and roomy down in
Washington but just the same there is some
consideration given to actual needs of cities and
the city which shows an actual need of appro-
priations for new buildings is pretty certain to
get the consideration which counts rather than
the consideration. which appears only on the
congressional record
Just keep in mind that this is your Kenosha
post office and that every nickel you spend at
the windows up there is a nickel spent to boost
your own town. When the next report of the
nOStal receiDtS arc oiVpn ont Kpnosha should
be in the third place in the state
