HOME CHAPLAIN
CALLED DEATH
Rev. Father Charles Fess-
Ter Dies at CarmeIite
Sisters Home.
RECENTLY APPOINTED

Death summoned the Rev. Father
Charles Fessler, recently appointed
chaplain of the Carmelite Sisters Home
south Of Kenoshs, near Balm Station,
early Tuesday afternoon at the home
before he had been able to read one
mass at the chapel there. Less than a
week ago Archbishop Messmer named
Father Fessler as chaplain here and
the latter had come to Kenosha imme-
distely to take charge of his duties.
Upon his arrival here he was stricken
with lobar pneumonia, which illness
with other complications caused his
death.
Father Fessler had been widely
known among the Catholic clergy of
the state and as the news of his death
spread throughout the state messages
from various cities where he had
served were received here, expressing
regret at his untimely death.
Rector at Pho Mona,
The Rev. Father Fessler was born in
Wisconsin in 1849. He had received
his training for the priesthood at st.
Francis College and following his or
dination there had served as a priest
in several large parishes. Later he had
been appointed as rector of Pho Mona
College there, which position he had
held with honor for many years. More
recently he has been chaplain of the
st, Nicholas hospital at Sheboygan
from which position he was transferred
by Archbishop Messmer to become the
chaplain of the Carmelite Sisters Home
here.
The Rev. Father Joseph Van Treeck
of Burlington, who had been closely as
ISOLATED with Father Fessler through
out his life, came to Kenosha and was
here at the time of the last illness.
The remains are being kept at the
chapel at the Carmelite Sisters Home
south of Kenosha from which they will
be taken to Manitowoc on Thursday
morning for funeral services there and
for interment In the cemetery there.

YOU ARE WELL BRED

The person who always is trying to
set others right seldom is popular So
cially. Few people enjoy having their
shortcomings commented on. Unless
one has a very definite responsibility
toward another, as Of a parent toward
a child, the correction of the latter's
errors may well be left to those upon
whom such responsibility does rest.

Many Rented Farms.

More than one third of the
farms in Kentucky are operated
by tenants, according to the 1872
census. Leasing contracts un-
der which many of these farmers
are operated point out the need
in the State for more general use
of contracts which will keep the
land up in productiveness and at
the same time enable the tenant
to make a fair profit and the
landlord a fair rate of return,
according to W. D. Nichols,
head of the farm economics de-
partment of the College of Agri-
culture.
Zone type of successful leas-
ing contract is that which in
cludes the joint ownership of
hogs, beef or dairy cattle, sheep
and other productive live stock.
The tenant furnishes all the Ia
Dor and in most cases, the work
stock and machinery. The land.
lord usually pays the service
fees and owns a one-half inter-
est in his colts. Poultry, up to
a reasonable point, are owned
by the tenant who gets the pro-
ceeds from the enterprise.
''The other net receipts are di-
vided equally. The landlord fur
nishes the land and buildings,
pays the taxes and insurance on
them, in most cases furnishes
the grass seed and pays one
half the other expenses except
ing those for labor. Necessary
minor repairs on fences usually
are made by the tenant without
charge, the landlord furnishing
the materials.
"Quite often. the tenant does

More Star Lying.

Down in North and South Caro-
lima and Virginia the enemies of
co. operative marketing are circu-
lating reports that one thousand
members of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Associa:-
ion have sued the association for
something or other, the report
did not say what. The star liars
in the bright belt might just as
have said a million growers have
sued, for it would be exactly as
near right.
The Burley Tobacco Growers
Cooperative Association has not
been sued by anybody, has given
no cause for any suit, doesn't in
tend to give cause for any suit,
but does intend, when it gets
ready, we are informed, to sue a
few farmers who broke their
marketing contract and sold over
the loose leaf floors. The pur-
pose of the lying down in the
Carolinas and Virginia is plain.
1t is to save the big warehouse
interests their usual rake-off.
This is particularly true of the
Wilson, N. c., market, for which
the Southern Tobacco Journal is
making a gallant fight against
the pool, though it is compelled
in each issue to print the truth
about the remarkable gains being
made by the cooperative market
ing movement in the bright dis
trict.
The Burley association has
been gaining more than 200 con.
tracts week now for a month
and is signing up the difficult
West Virginia district, called the
''pin-hooker's paradise" because
of the ease with which these trad.
ers formerly worked the helpless
growers. The tallest lying ir
the world can not stand in the
face Of the beneficial effects pro.
duced throughout the Burlev dis.
trict by the institution of a sen.
sible marketing system in the
handling of Burley tobacco.

practiced. There were no kiss
ing games in the days of the
queen of Sheba, it is said; per-
haps even Cleopatra knew MOTH
of the art. When it came into
existence an all to human habit,
it seems that 1t came not as a
part of a system of shopping and
spying. something like part of
a dry enforcement act.
In the early days of Rome wine
vas offered as a sacrifice. 1t
was improper for the vestal vir-
gins or any of the matrons to ap-
propriate any of the libation.
To ascertain where guilt lay when
some of the wine was missing it
became the custom for men to
smell their kinswomen's breaths.
One thing leads to another, and
before they knew it the Romans
had invented one of the most pop
ular of human institutions.
There has never been a date fixed
for the origin of the custom, but
it is first mentioned in the men,
cries of Pomponious, who pre-
sented his lips to be kissed by
the deserving mobiles, his hands
to the less deserving and least
noble.

methods of distributing know

are little understood, perhaps be-

inhaling each others breath.
This is another reason why one
dislikes Eskimos. Of course,
after its reception, one under
stands why kissing should be-
come so popular. Erasmus notes
that on his visit to England it
was used every where as a form of
greeting. When a visitor enter
ed house he kissed the father
and mother, the dog, the cat and
everything else that was kissable
This was repeated when depart
ing. With kissing so promiscu-
GUS the value of each kiss was
bound to decrease.
In France Montaigne remarks
"any Jack with three lackeys"
was privileged to kiss almost any
woman. And at the end of every
fashionable fete each dance end
ed with kiss. 1t is reported
that Louis XII was supposed to
have kissed every woman in Nor
mandy. In 1850 or so, kissing
invaded Russia, where it soon
reached the proportions of a nat
ional epidemic. Kisses were be-
slowed at every conceivable op-
portunity. And the Gar was
compelled to kiss as a form of
official recognition. We may infer
from this that with the Salvic
reputation fordisliking emotional
display, the nation took to grow
