Csc bushel in the potato districts.
That's very satisfactory to consum-
ers but not very encouraging to pro-

them out of the field. The producer
ought to have a fair compensation
for the time and labor he puts in, in
raising crop. If he can't get that,
he is pretty liable to quit it and you
can't blame him. 25c bushel is no
fnducement to people to engage in

should be set at such an angle that
the center beam strikes the right
grass edge six rods ahead of your
car. The left headlight should be set
almost as much to the left but should
be pointed lower This plan leaves
a gray center streak ahead which
may be filed with spot light. The

Daily Health Hint
COLD STORAGE.
By DR.. R. H. BISHOP.

Cold storage is the modern way of
Saving up one seasons surplus against
the needs of the next.
To some, cold-storage chicken, for
instance, is viewed askance, but to
those who have given intelligent study
to the subject, the methods real worth
is clear
The effect on cold storage on food
has been the subject of deep investi-
cation in the last few years and the
results have upset popular theories to
some extent. Also there are laws on
the subject.
Nevertheless cold-storage food still
is blamed for many illnesses.
Every housewife who uses refrig-
orator is in the cold-storage business
on a small scale and certain rules
should be recognized by her, just as
in great cold-storage plants, to in
sure the best results.
For instance, no food should be
placed in cold storage unless mature,
fresh, and free from disease or de-
terioration of any kind.
/ Sound, fresh food put in cold stor-
age can be kept in good condition as
long as IL months. There is no ne
cessity for keeping it longer, as by
that time there always is new years
supply.
Investigation has proved that cold
storage foods do not in any Way in
jure the public health. There have
been cases of alleged injury, but these
have been due to the poor quality Of
the food at the outset--and cold stor-
age can not make bad food good.
with cold-storage warehouses
guarded by our boards of health, the
public should fear no danger.

NOT A BANKRUPT COMPANY.

The plea that the stockholders are expect
ing dividends" as an excuse for failure to ex-
tend street railway lines in Kenosha does not
come in very good grace after one reads the
report of the North American company for the
year. With stockholders in this company get
ting earnings on common stock totalling some
thing like $3.50 share it should be possible
for the officials of the company to spend lit
tie money to keep the goose which lays the
golden egg from dying. Such a dividend is
considered fair earning on stock. Of course
the local directors of the company will probably
insist that only small amount of this dividend
was earned on the properties Of the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company during the past year
but just the same the companies in Wisconsin
have for years contributed dividends to the
general pot of the North American company
and it is only fair to believe that some of the
other companies might do a little toward con-
tributing toward the extension of the business
OF this company.
The report of this company properly verified
by It's officials shows a considerable percent of

DON'T SPILL THE BEANS.

The independent Voters League has rend-
cred an interesting and valuable service to the
voters of Kenosha county in seeking to put on
record candidates for all county offices. We
should say now that the league has gone as Tar
as is necessary and that to outline a slate OF
candidates and ask the people to vote for them
would be something in the line of "spilling the
beans"
The people of the county who vote intelli-
gently, or try to vote inteligently want to
know what candidates stand for rather than
what candidates a small body of men who get
together behind closed doors stand for. The
executive committee of the league has furnish
ed the people with information on which they
may intelligently make their own selections
and it would be more or less of an insult to the
intelligence of the voters for these men to go
ahead and draw diagram and insist on the
support of certain candidates follow
Service to the public is one thing and an at
tent at dictation is another. The people want
service and appreciate it but they will not stand
for dictation-no matter how well-meaning the
effort might be.
For the most part the candidates for office
have stated clearly what they are going to
stand for if elected to office and it is most
made. The people Of the county have had a
chance to read what these candidates have to
say on important issues and they probably don't
care a great deal how they stand on minor is
Sues
The big issue in Kenosha county is to have
county officials who will inteligently enforce
the law and lend to that enforcement proper
appreciation of the law Most of the candi-
dates have likeable personality and most Of
them have spent much Of their life right here
in the county. For the most part the people
are just as able to pass on likeable qualities as
IN executive committee of some league be it
tie Independent Voters League or the Non
Partisan League
A half dozen men sitting in star chamber
session would be decidedly presumptious to be-
lieve that they could pick for the rest Of u.s.
Such course of dictation is contrary to the
modern idea Of elections.
The important thing is to have the people of
the city and county know just what men who
seek office stand for and any league or other
organization which will give the people the
widest possible information will have rendered
a real service. 1t would be interesting if every
voter might have-side by side-the statement
of each candidate for office that he might study
them and decide just how he wants to cast his
vote. Of course men who refuse to make a
statement in response to a courteous request,
no matter who it comes FROM are at once very
dangerous candidates to consider in picking
county officials.
Men are honored for expression of opinions
even il we fail to agree with them but the man
who refuses to give a statement either puts
himself on record Of not being willing to risk
his cause with the DeOple or not being intelli-
gent enough to make the statement Either
class is dangerous class to have charge of the
county S work.

RADIO BY LINE AND SPACE"
Want to hear concert? Tune in
on space radio"
Want to call up a friend? Plug in
on Zine radio"
These are the two forms of radio
communication suggested for future
adoption by DR.. Louis Cohen, con-
sulting engineer of the U. S. Signal
Corps. "Space radio" for broadcast
ing. cline radio" for personal and
business calls.
space radio,' DR.. Cohen defines as
means of transmission of wireless
waves radiating in all directions from
a central source, an antenna."
cline radio" he says, "is limited
form of radio transmission guided by
wires. This form, perfected by Gen
eral G. 0. Squier of the U. S. Signal
Corps, is rapidly coming into wide
USE"
Increasing demands for radio COM
munication and growth of the indus
try all over the world, are DR.. Co
hens reasons for suggesting the divi-
sion of communication into these
two forms.
Advantages.
cline radio" says DR.. Cohen, "could
take care of individual commurica-
tons, leaving all the available wave
channels in space radio for conlmuni-
cation between mobile stations, such
as ships and airplanes, places in ac-
cessible to wire lines, and broadcast
ing. By the use of line radio the ex-
listing telephone and telegraph lines
may be loaded up by multiplying the
number of messages carried on any
single line so as to take care of all
possible public requirements for per-
sonal communication, and in very
economical manner at that.
"Broadcasting is a service that can
be accomplished only by space radio
and the use of space radio should be
limited as far as possible to that serv-
ice. On the other hand, in line radio
the number of circuit channels can
be increased almost indefinitely and
always kept up to capacity to meet all
public needs for individual communi-
cation, personal or business"

In England, the Postofice Depart
ment has supreme control over radio
communication. Until last September
the manufacture, sale or possession of
radio apparatus was restricted by the
postofice authorities under the defense
of the realm act. Now, with the lapse
of this act, all that is required is
license to operate a transmission or

these by international code or other
methods established for some time at

ular intervals from any of about 20
high-powered radio stations through,

Whenever a vessel equipped with
wireless picks up a weather warning
and, during its course, sights another
ship that lacks wireless facilities, the
orders are that the reports be sig
nailed by any of the old established
codes.
