CHANGE IN PRICE
OF CERTIFICATES
Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates Increase in Price
September 80.
CANCEL DOLLAR STAMP

Postmaster James German received
notification this morning that starting
October LIST there would be change
in price of treasury saving certif-
Gates, an advance of approximately
24 per cent being made after that
date. The announcement is of inter
est here inasmuch as there have been
many purchasers of the certificates in
Kenosha.
The bulletin of the postal depart
ment explaining the change in prices
reads in part as follows:
"To all postmasters issuing treas
ury savings certificates:
"The secretary of the treasury has
close of business September 80, 1922,
of the sale of the present issue of
treasury savings certificates of the
$1,000, $500, and $25 denominations at
the present prices of $500, $50, and
$40, respectively, and the placing on
sale, beginning October 2, 1922, of new
treasury savings certificates of like
denominations and maturity value, at
selling prices of $500, $82, and $20.50,
respectively. At these selling prices
the new certificates will yield approx
imately 4 per cent interest, COM
pounded semi-annually, if held until
the date of maturity, five years from
the date of issue. If redeemed before
maturity, they will yield about 8 per
cent simple interest.
"The sale of the certificates now
supplied to postmasters positively
must cease at the close of business
September 80. The new certificates
are indicated by a different sequence
of arial numbers and are printed in
different tints from the old, and post
masters should use great care to avoid
confusing the two issues. The serial
numbers of the new $1,000 certificates
begin above 100000; $500 certificates
above $5,OOO,OOO; $25 certificates above
100000.
"The 81 treasury savings stamps are
withdrawn from sale, effective at the
close of business September 30, 1922
They must not be sold after that date
"a supply of the new certificates
has been sent to postmasters at all
accounting offices. Centralaccount-
ing postmasters, promptly on receiv-
ing their supplies, will furnish on
credit to each district postmaster q
supply of the new certificates in &C.
cordance with existing Instructions
The new issue is to be accounted fol-
in the same manner as provided in the
July, 1922, Postal Guide, except fol-
the change in the selling price. Cen
tral-accounting postmasters will be
supplied with a sufficient number OF
copies of these instructions to inclose
one copy with each initial shipment
of the new certificates to district post
masters. These Enclosures must be
made without fail, since district post
masters will have no other direct in
structions to stop the sale of the pres
emit issue at the close of business Sep
TENDER 80. The department relies or
notwithstanding postmasters to see
that every district postmaster hand
| ling treasury savings certificates is in
| formed of the change in due time"

FISHER BUILDING
Popular Druggist Takes
Over Fisher Property
on Main Street.
NO LEASE CHANGE

The biggest real estate deal of the
year in Kenosha and one of the larg-
est transfers of Main street property
made in recent years took place on
Thursday afternoon when the William
F. Fisher block at the corner of Main
and Park streets was sold to Charles
H. Hurd and wife. While the consid-
Grafton of the sale was not made pub
lie it was said to be in the neighbor-
hood of 100000. The property has a
Main street frontage of forty-one feet
and extends one hundred and eighteen
feet on Park street. 1t is improved
with the three-story and basement
brick store building now used as the
home of the j. Gottlieb Departm emit
store. The sale is made subject of
the lease of the building to the Gott-
lieb company and all terms of the
lease which runs for period of near
ly six years will be- carried out ny vne
new owners. The deed for the trans
fer Of the property from William F.

register of deeds today.
Heart of Business District.
1t is known that there has been ac-
tive rivalry to secure possession of
the building which is situated in the
very heart of the business district of
Kenosha and which has for many
years been a trade center. The build
ing was for years the location of the
William F. Fisher store which was
known all over this section of the
country. Just before Mr.. Fisher re-
tired from business and sold his stock
to the Gottlieb company the building
was remodeled and it is considered
one of the most modern store build
ings in this section of the state.
The sale of the building carries
with it much of the equipment of the
building which is now included in the
lease held by the J. Gottlieb company
Not Home for Drug Company.

STOLEN CAR is
FOUNDRY WOMAN
Mrs. Jacob Holan Sends
Call to Police Which
Locates Jordan.
THIEF RENTED GARAGE
Car Stolen at Racine Is Located
About an Hour Later
in Kenosha.

At nine o'clock Saturday night the
police received a telephone call from
Racine stating that a Jordan car be-
longing to a Milwaukeean had Just
been stolen at Racine. 1t was Just an
hour and half later that through the
intelligence of Kenosha woman, Mrs.
J. Holan, 1913 English court, the police
here captured the car. The chief of
police this morning declared that he
could not thank Mrs. Holan enough and
that, were there more of such co0pera-
ton on the part of Kenosha women, it
would be invaluable to the police de-
partment. The police succeeded in get
ting the car, but the man believed to
be the thief, had made his departure
and gone into hiding.
Came About Through Want AID.
Jacob Holan, who is a real estate
agent, had inserted an advertisement in
the Kenosha News, offering a garage
for rent at 1853 English court. Late
Saturday evening a man appeared at
the door and inquired about the rent
of the garage. Mrs. Holan received
him.
"Pd like to rent it for a month or
two" the stranger said He was a
young fellow of slim appearance.
What is your name ?" asked Mrs.
Holan.
Harry Anderson" he replied. "Har-
ry Anderson" then proceeded to give
Mrs. Holan a little of his background,
saying that he came from Milwaukee
and that his father worked in one of
the local factories in Kenosha. With
this sketch of his history, the terms
for renting the garage made and
agreed upon, the stranger handed over
a months rent.
Finds Him Rather Queer.
When asked if he wished to have the
paddock and keys for the garage, he
replied that he had one of his own
which he would use. While Anderson"
went out to put in his car, Mrs. Holan
watched him from one of the windows.
She saw him light one match after
another and investigate the surround
ings about the garage, and there was
something about him and his behavior
which aroused her suspicion. A suspi-
cion was sufficient and Mrs. Holan
called up the police department, i'm
parting her information.
Lieutenant Rock answered the call
with other police officers and after
hearing Mrs. Holan's account of the
strange young man, they made their
own trip to the garage. There was a
Jordan car, corresponding exactly with
the description of a stolen Jordan re-
ceived from Racine the same evening.
The officers were well pleased with
their find and with the help Of Mrs.
| Holan.
Can't Find Thief.
On the description given them of the
youth calling himself Anderson" the
police made a survey Saturday night
of the different places in the city a
stranger might take refuge in, but
failed to locate him.
The stolen car, however, was safely
in their hands. 1t was Jordan owned
by Miss Jeanette P. Blakeley, 27O
Martin street, Milwaukee, and had been
stolen from her Saturday evening while

SQUAD GETS ONE
MORE BIG STILL
This is Third Biggest" in
Size and Found at 616
Market Street.
SEVEN GALLONS MOON

The third largest still was captured
by the police in a raid last Saturday
afternoon in visit to the home of
Ben Martin, GIG Market Court. That
is, the still is not so big as the big
gest Chat kind is extinct like the
mastoden), nor so big as the next
biggest, the square still recently
found. But this one is next in size to
that It was real find. Nobody was
home when the police officers knocked
for admittance, but they do not stand
on ceremony when armed with a search
warrant, and though nobody said "come
in" they found the way just the same.
Hunter Was Away.
Martini at the time of the raid, was
out in the country on the still hunt
for wild game, while the police had
their own fun with the hunt for a still.
The two bands of hunters will have to
put their booty together before they
can decide on which brought home
most bacon. o
The raid was made by Captain
Clausen, Lieut.. Rock, Officer and De-
tective McCluskey. They found the
still upstairs on the premises and
with it other samples of an illicit
trade in moonshine ways.
Seven Gallons of Moonshine.
In addition to the copper still, the
kind used for making moonshine,
there was the moonshine itself, ealI in
jugs and cans and handy for the po7
lice to carry away. That was certain
ly kind of the person who had left
things in such convenient order, and
the police appreciated the favor. So
the moonshine evidence travelled out
to the police car on the heels of the
still.
