..'a' SorrentinO.
A BROKEN ROMANCE

The romance Of Theresa Sorrentino,
q sixteen-year-old Italian girl, who
learned one lesson and that was to
obey her father in everything he or
dered, ended in the circuit court this
morning when formal judgment was
filed annulling her marriage with Eu-
gene Sorrentino Of Kansas City, Mo,
The judgment of the court gives the

living with her father. The findings
in the case as filed with the court de-
clare that the pleadings of the child
wife were found to be true by the
court.
1t was shown that the girl was mar
ried to Sorrentino in Kenosha. on
November 9th Of last year and that
the marriage had been arranged by the
father of Mrs. Sorrentino. She had
known the man who her father selected
as a husband for her but few days
but when the father told her that she
was to marry him she promptly obeyed
her order.
Offered Lure of Fortune.
The findings attached to the judy
ment in the court declares that Sor-
rentino had practiced fraud to secure
the hand of the Kenosha girl. 1t is
declared that he had told the father of
the young woman that he was rich
and prosperous business man in Kan
sas City and that he could support the
child-bride in luxury.
The wife went with him to Kansas
City Immediately after the marriage
and found at once chat the stories
which had been told of the wealth of
her husband were without any foun-
dation in fact. He did not even have
a home to offer to her. She returned
to her father in Kenosha Immediately
The father evidently willing to dc
all possible to right the wrong. was a
party with his daughter in the appeal
for the annulment of the marriage.

The victim of the accident had lived
IN Kenosha many years, having been
long an employee at the N. r. Allen g
Sons tannery. He retired less than
two years ago, at that time buying =
small truck farm near Dover Station,
where he had lived since that time and

The old man, who was working alone,
had placed a heavy charge under pile
OF logs with long fuse Of black pow
der leading to it. He had lighted the
fuse and ran for safety, but the wind
blew the smoke from the burning fuse
out of his sight. Believing that the
fuse had not burned, he returned to
relight it, reaching the pile of logs
just in time to be killed by the ex-
plosion.
Workmen Try TO Aid Him.
The farm is located near the rail
way and men who were working there
saw the accident and hurried to reach
the side Of the injured man. When
they arrived there, he was dead. 1t is
believed that he was killed instantly by
the force of the explosion. The body
was carried into the home and later
brought to Kenosha.

county. He went to Chicago early in
life and later came to Kenosha county,
where he had spent most of his life.
He was member of the Irving Park
lodge of Odd Fellows in Chicago and
was past chief patriarch of the Jeffer-
son encampment of the Kenosha lodge
of that order.

there is to the child in years time

day week. Thirdly, we need individ-
ual help to make forceful admonitions.
Then / think that we need changes
in the course of study. Very few peo-
pie, comparatively, are able to have
higher education so why should we
let the universities dictate our courses
of study? There should be more
chance for healthful amusement. We
need more playground apparatus for
organized recreation. We need good,
strong teachers who are character
builders, not teachers who will dwarf
character. Then think there should
be development of the people in the
community and improvements in the
home. We should have more COM

to sing as to talk and we would all be

OFFER NEW PLAN
TO BEET GROWERS
Rock County Sugar Com
pany Seeks to Reinstate
Beet Crop Here.
ON SLIDING SCALE

The Rock County Sugar company of
GAINESVILLE is making an effort to re-
instate the sugar beet in favor with
the Kenosha county farmers and rep
resentatives of the company are now
working in Kenosha county seeking to
contract acreage for the year. Agents
of the company have been named in ali
sections of Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties and these agents will seek to get
back under cultivation thousands OF
acres in Kenosha county, formerly Civ
en- over to the growing of sugar beets
but abandoned for that crop on account
of the uncertain financial relations be-
tween some of the companies and the
farmers.
It is said that the Rock County Su-
gar company is one company which has
always met every obligation to the
farmer and contracts made by this
company have been paid in full with
out bubble and the company in an eff
fort to give to the farmers the fair
est possible price for the product is
proposing scale of prices which will
be governed ythe sea board price of

existed" said a representative of the
company. eve. know the farmers OF
Kenosha and Racine county have lost
money on their beets but we want to
say in the start that the Rock County
Sugar company has never defaulted on
contract with the farmer and it new
er will. The company is financed in a
manner to give the assurance that ev-
cry contract it makes with the farmers
of Kenosha and Racine county will be
carried out to the letter. We want to
give the farmers a contract which will
guarantee to them a fair price for their
product and the only way to do this is
to base the price to be paid on the av-
erage price of beet sugar. Under this
schedule the price may vary from five
dollars to eight dollars ton. We be-

want them to examine into our propo-
sition."
Submits Schedule of Prices.
The company has submitted sched-
ule of prices which it proposes to
make a part of the contracts which
may be signed by the farmers. The
minimum price is set at five dollars q
ton and the schedule provides that
should the price of beet sugar advance
to $3.50 per hundred pounds that the
price per ton for beets shall be ad-
vanced to eight dollars.
The agents who have been named to
represent the company in the making
of the new contracts include C. A.
Jensen of Somers, George Nelson, I'm
ion Grove; Christensen Brothers, Cor
liss; L. C. Christensen, Franksville,
and Chris Swanson of Truesdell.
The company in the former season
contracted and paid for about one
third the total of the beets raised in
Kenosha county. 1t has already signed
many contracts for the new season
and hopes to largely increase the acre
age.
