Prohibition deputies will be sent to
all the larger cities with orders to
mingle~ with the. jewellers and arrest
any who appear to have imbibed too
freely. Christmas and Christmas Eve
celebrations were unusually dry,
Sachtjen reports, but he suspects that
merrymakers were saving their "priy-
ate stock" for the New Year festivi-
ties.
No attempt will be made, however, to
modest merrymakers in private homes,
Sachtjen said. His force will have
enough to dosto watch revelries in pub
lie amusement and dance halls. Mil
waukee will be closely covered by
both state and federal deputies.

FARM IMPORTS ARE /.
MORE THAN EXPORTS
Difference is Shown for the First
Time in History Reports
Declare.

Washington, D. C. Imports of
agricultural products exceeded exports
last year probably for the first time in
history, the difference amounting to
s388,000,000, as compared with $474,-
000,090 excess in the value of exports
over imports in the previous year.
The shift Of the balance in trade in
agriculture products in favor of for
eign countries war attributed by the
department of agriculture today chief
ly to an increased value Of imports
and decrease in the value of exports.
Imports, including forest products, to-
tailed S2,315,000,000 last year or $780,
100000 more than in the previous
year, while exports aggregated ST.
927,000,000 a decrease of $50 100000.
Imports of silk were valued at S414,-
100000, sugar, s36s,OOo,000; coffee,
$182,000,000; crude rubber, $169,000,-
900 and wool, S167,000,000 Wheat ex-
ports were valued at S102,000,000 as
compared with $28,000,o00 the preced-
ing year, and corn, S75,O00,0 600 COM
pared with $116,O00,o0o. Pork and
cotton exports show material increases
in value over the preceding year, but
they are counter balanced by the de-
crease in tobacco, sugar and other pro-
ducts.

KenOsIoa Soldier
Died ON Christmas
Mark Forbes, Aged IS, Former Soldier,
Died Christmas Morning After
Short Illness.

Death entered but one Kenosha
home on Christmas Day. Mark Forbes,
aged %, an electrician and former
soldier, died Tuesday morning at his
home at $50 Milwaukee avenue after
an illness of two weeks from pneu-
monia.
The deceased was born in Portage,
Wis, December IS, 1895, the son of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Forbes.
He had enlisted in the United States
army in the World war and had served
eighteen months. More recently he
had been an electrician in the employ
of the Gray Electric company, in which
work he had been most efficient. His
death comes as great sorrow to a
large circle Of friends in Kenosha.
Surviving him are his wife, Mrs.
Alma Forbes a brother, Clarence
Forbes, and two sisters, the Misses N
Esbelle and Florence Forbes, all of Ke-
rosha. The remains were taken to the

HOLD HEALTH CENTER.
Examination of Children and Mothers
at County Normal School.

Examination of Children and Mothers
at County Normal School.
The next health center for the
county will be held January Is, from
nine o'clock a. m. to five, p. m. at
Storms hall, Racine and Kenosha Nor
NAL school.
DR.. Cora S. Allen will visit this
county on the coming center days to
conduct maternity and infant health
conferences for pre-school children
and expectant mothers. DR.. Allen
has been appointed state center ply
stefan to succeed DR.. Mildred Van
Cleve, resigned.
DR.. Allen was employed in this
work in Wisconsin for a short time
last summer during leave of absence
from her work with Minnesota
state welfare institution, and now be-
comes associated permanently with the
state board of health.
Health centers will continue to be
maintained during 1924 in all coun-
ties where they are now established, a
total of sixteen. Center days are held
once a month, and it is desired that
mothers make appointments for ex-
WIFI GuC equity HQISS.
All such services are free, but it is
expected that whatever defects or
other needs are disclosed by the ex-
aminations will be followed up by
suitable corrective treatment. This
work is purely advisory. Examina-
tions are limited to children under
six years of age, and to prospective
mothers. 1t is urged that those who
have been examined before should
appear again in order that re-
examinations may prove the extent
of improvement made
All conditions found are noted on a
card which the mother keeps for ref
erence, and are such usually that call
for special attention from the family
physician or are corrected by proper
nutritional care. In, many cases where
malnutrition seems to be most in evil
dence, the mother is enabled to fol-
low the advice given without other
direction, and often to bring the child
up to normal standards of growth.
Many cases are on record where,
through conscientious following of in
structors, malnourished children who
were examined last year are today
living examples of Astounding health.
AS noted, the mission of the health
center staff is in no sense medical
one, being essentially educational
Sick children, even those with slight
colds, are not to be brought. This
service is one of the activities of the
bureau of child welfare of the state
board of health, having as it's ulti-
mate aim a sturdier generation of
citizens.

Highway Plans
Well Developed
State Highway Building Program for
1924 TO Get Underway Shortly
After New Years.

Madison, Wis. Wisconsin's 1924
road building program will get under
way with the start of the new year
and the plans of the state highway
commission are already well developed.
The highway commission will re-
ceive bids beginning Jan. 8 for 1,000,-
600 barrels of cement needed to COM
plete the 1924 road program. Follow
ing the customary policy of the state,
the cement will be purchased through
competitive bidding from private firms,
and will then be furnished to the con-
tractor at a fixed amount per mile.
The highway commission plans to lay
270 miles of cement highway during
1924, increasing the state trunk sys-
tenn, already concreted by this much.
The 2,500-mile addition, voted at the
1928 legislature, will be constructed
over period of several years. The
state trunk system is now $500 miles
in length and at the completion of the
present plans will cover the state with
a network of 10000 miles.
Bids will be opened on Jan. Is for
actual highway construction. They will
be open until Jan 20 and many bids
will be entered it is thought during the
annual good roads school which opens
on Jan. 20.
A cement plant, branch of the Port
land Cement company, is under conf
struction at Manitowoc which will pro-
duce 100000 barrels a year and if
the bids of this firm are favorable, it
is thought that this plant will furnish
much of the cement for the 1924 pro-
gram. A bill, introduced at the 1928
legislature, for construction of a
state-owned and operated cement plant
was defeated.
