.FAYETTE COUNTIAN INSPECTS
MASON C0UNTY'S SCHOOLS
County Which Is In Terrible "Mud-
die" Over Their County Schools
Seeks Solution Of Problems.

Prof. w. d. Nichols, of the State De-
partment of Agriculture, was in Mays
Vile Tuesday and made an inspection
trip to the consolidated schools at
Orangeburg, Mayslick and Washing
ton with a view of comparing the sys-
TEN of consolidated schools in Mason
county where they have proven great
success to the system of consolidation
in Fayette county where they have
apparently made q dismal failure.
No county in the state is in more
serious condition SO far as its county
schools are concerned than Fayette.
They are not short of funds but the
systems in use there have failed to
meet with the approval of the public
and recent scandles in school affairs
have shaken the entire country.
Prof Nichols following the inspec-
tion OF the schools, made a thorough
examination of Supt. George Turnip-
seeds system of bookkeeping and
highly praised Mason county's efficient
system Of schools.

"GROCERY SHOWER.

The annual grocery shower" for
the benefit of the penny lunch Of the
First District school will be held Fri
day evening at 1880 o'clock at the
school building. The lunch will be
started the first week in November
and the purpose OF this shower is to
get food stuff TO help to defray the
expenses of the lunch. AS has always
been the custom OF this school, n warm
lunch will be provided for all pupils
attending this school, charging a small
sum for each article; and all those
pupils who are unable to get warm
lunch at home or to buy the lunch at
school are given 4eir lunch every day
free of charge. This lunch has never
paid for itself because so much is
given away to those children who are
unable to pay for their lunch.
The articles received at the annual
shower" help greatly to defray these
expenses and we are hoping that the
public will respond even more gen.
erously this year than ever before for
il seems the need will be greater thar
ever before, judging from the number
II pupils who are in attendance who
will have to be fed free of charge this
year.
Tho following is a list OF articles
needed: Sugar, soup beans, rice, cans
# tomatoes, potatoes, maccaroni

GREAT CAULDRON
STILL IS CAUGHT
This is Not as Big as the
Biggest Still, But Next
Door to it.
AT 80 N. EDWARD ST.


Something new in the way of big
stills made It's way into the police
Office at midgnight Friday through the
efforts of the sponge squad senior, led
by Lieut.. Rock and Detective Breidt.
With them in a descent upon 80 North
Edward street were Officers Riley and
Monroe and when the quartet returned
to headquarters after the raid they
ushered in an outfit big enough to
supply the entire city with moonshine
for limited time. True, the still was
not so big as the mammoth still, the
largest so far in captivity, which was
[ coralledgthrough the efforts Of Officer
Harold Rock, but it clearly was an
anirpal Of the same big breed.
1t was an unceremonious visit paid
by thep olice to the North Edward
street premises at an hour when most
of the city was sleeping its just sleep,
and it might have been expected that
there were some startled householders
who started in alright at the pounding
at the door and the cry of "Officer!"
But not so. The police found nobody
home. There was no one to protest at
being aroused at that unseemly hour
or to protest at seeing mash, still and
moonshine walk away.
The house belongs to one Joseph An
gelo, said to be making his home in
Chicago at present, and while the po-
lice are not certain that he was the one
who actually operated the still, he, as
owner of the premises, is held respon-
sible and a warrant is ready for him.
charging him with unlawful possession.
The still was not the only part OF
the haul that showed up in big pro-
portions. There was also 60 gallons
of moonshine mash and rs gallons Of
| moon. The raid will save a lot of holt
day stomachs in the city of Kenoslla.
which because of its timeiiness, tossed
into limbo lot of the stuff that would
otherwise have scratched its way down

this morning, is big outfit and of

have been brought in so far are round
A man who had seen service in the

Death ended holiday trip Of Rich
ard Crothers, aged II, 4653 Kasson
street, Chicago, when he was drowned
Sunday afternoon in the sight of his
wife and three children in the Fox
river about mile and half south
west Of the village of Silyerlake. He
was taken with cramps, it is believed,
and sank, before others who were in
bathing with him could reach his side
and rescue him. The belief that he
suffered from some sort of illness was
strengthened by the fact that the body
was discovered just at the point where
the man went down about half hour
earlier. It was slightly discolored,
physicians declaring that this also
showed that the man had been VIC
tim of being taken with acute indi-
gestion while in the water.
The tragedy put an end to plans for

which the deceased and his family to-
gether with other relatives had plan

Check-Up of Traffic On Labor Day
Shows Vast Traffic on Improved
Roads of County.

County Highway Commissioner John
Herfog has the following to report
from checkzup of the automobiles
passing on the Lake Shore road at the
Somers road crossing on Labor Day:
4,843 foreign cars, 1853 Wisconsin cars
and 279 trucks and motorcycles. This
makes total of 9,lS5 vehicles passing
this one spot in one day, the largest
number ever recorded in Kenosha coun-
ty. At this rate, there was over 10000
persons passed through Kenosha going
either north or south on the Sheridan
road route on Labor Day alone and it
is known for a fact that large num-
Der of Illinois cars took the route 81
which would perhaps bring the total
up to at least $4,000 persons from other
states that visited Kenosha on one day
alone.
