Federal Road Aid is
Subject to Cooperation

Madison A cooperative plan be-
tween the Wisconsin state highway
commission in counties in the construc-
ton of federal as we'll as state aid
highways, was approved as legal by
the attorney generals department in
an opinion, written by Deputy Attorney
General Robert M. Rieser, held that
counties and the highway commission
may enter into the cooperative arrange
ment.
The plan as proposed by the highway
commission, calls for an agreement
whereby funds allotted to counties for
federal aid work may be used by the
state in improving any part of the
federal aid system. Such funds also
may be used upon contracts on which
the funds not allotted by the state
is spent, it was said.
The cooperative road plan involves
the entire state and federal aid high
way system, it is said. The legal de-
partment advised that federal funds
may be used by the state commission
on projects which the county board
recommends for construction.

ROTARY LEADER
SPEAKS TO CLUB
Willard N. Parker Tells
Mems Club of Power
of Service.
OUTLINES ROTARY AIM

"The strength of clubs lies in the
fact that they lead to acquaintance
ship which grows to fellowship, which
in turn ripens into friendship" Will
lard N. Parker of Madison, governor
of the tenth district International Ro-
tary told members of the Mems Club
of St. Matthews church at a meeting
held last night in Guild hall.
ut is this cement Of friendship
which binds a group of men together
giving them the strength to move
things" Governor Parker continued.
CAS- men grow older, look back on life
and discover that through hard work,
and constant application, their bank
account and credit is safe, and they
are beyond the dangers of the poor
house, they begin to discover that
money is not the only criterion of
success"
Governor Parker said that the West
End club of Madison is similar in it's
activities to the st. Matthew's club.
A few years ago it recognized the fact
that through service, real service, the
sort which cuts close to where one
lives, the club could be made a power
for the betterment of the community.
Today the club is the only mems club
in Madison's west end. He briefly
sketched the growth of the organi-
zation.
The growth of the Rotary movement
from it's inception back in the office
Of Paul Harris, where three men met
together Is Years ago. to an organi-
cation which numbers 100000 members
with 1900 clubs in 81 different ma
tions, was traced by Governor Parker.
The reason for this phenomenal en-
largement he said was directly due to
the aim of the organization which is
service. before self. Empowered thus
the movement has been a prime fac
tor for betterment in the communities
where it has been started The idea
of doing something for somebody else
brings to the hearts of those who give
the service a reaction which is visibly
akin to the spiritual, Mr.. Parker said
While it is often impossible to point
to concrete things which these organi-
cations founded on service have done,
they are the nucleus which crystalizes
the sentiment for betterment moves,
which back up these ideas and sell
them to the public, he stated.

ELKHORN WOMAN
HEIR TO RICHES
Mrs. w. Baker, Poor All

to $175,OOO.
A SUPPOSED ORPHAN

Elkhorn, Wis.-"We'll just get a
small car, Bill. 1t will be good enough
for us and it won't be so hard on
tires" said Mrs. William Baker, far
mer's wife, after sending away an
automobile salesman who wanted 10
sell her a limousine.
Mrs. Baker had just received word
that she had become heir to $175,009,
her share of the estate of her father,
George Youngs, rich Chicagoan.
81 won't know what to do with all
this money!" she said still wondering
whether it was a dream or a reality.
Had, Been An Orphan.
When Mrs. Baker was small her
mother died, and her father being poor
allowed her to be adopted by an Elk
horn family named Manning. She
grew to womanhood here and was mar
ried to William Baker twelve years
ago.
The father in the meantime had
made his fortune. He sent invesSi-
gators here to locate his daughter, but
Mrs. Baker refusing to believe she had
been adopted, sent them away.
Notified of Request.
Proof of her identity was apparent
ly made certain, as she was formally
notified by a New York attorney hat
SITS, 900, her share of the estate, was
awaiting her.
With all the joy the money will
bring to Mrs. Baker and her husband,
who have struggled on their farm
near here for their livelihood, it is
small compared to the joy and happ:-
ness of her reunion with her brother
and sister.

GETS TWO YEARS
in TWO MINUTES
John GOnzalas, Is Year Old
Mexican, Sentenced TO
Green Bay. -
HE HELPS STEAL CAR
Caught in Zion Decamping
with Thomas DENIS
New Automobile.

John Gonzalas, 18-year-old Mexican,
was sentenced to two years IN the
Green Bay reformatory when he ap-
peared in criminal sessions of the
circuit court on Saturday on charge
Of stealing an automobile. The car,
new Chandler, was the property of
Thomas Bemis, Main street restaur-
ant proprietor. The jury considered
the evidence for two minutes.
Jack Littlejohn, negro, who was
ordered to wash the machine, and who
was at the wheel at the time Assist
ant Chief. Streid of Zion, stopped
them on suspicion, was given three
years in Waapun the day before.
According to the assistant chief the
negro was very unconcerned while
Gonzalas, who was sitting in the rear
watching for any one who might be
giving chase, seemed nervous. The
contrast between the occupants and
the new high priced automobile was
what first aroused the Illinois officials
auspicion.
Negro Claims Machine.
When they were ordered to stop, and
questioned as to who owned the ma
chine, the negro at first said that it
belonged to him. They were immedi-
ately taken back to the station, the
assistant chief testified, and then
readily admitted that they were
stealing the car and were on their
way to Oklahoma.
On the stand Gonzales stated that
they were taking joy ride, and only
intended going as far as Waukegan.
He stated that when they tried to wash
the machine, they found the alley
blocked and that they were riding
while the other cars were taken
away so that they might find room
to wash the car as had been ordered
However, this testimony was refuted
by the state when they put on a
prisoner from the county Jail who
testified that the pair had confded
to him, while in jail, that they had
taken the car with the intention of
going south for the winter. They had
planned, it was stated, that if they
ran out of the price of gas, they
would sell the car in Chicago.
Came With Carnival.
The pair came to town with one of
the carnivals that visited here last
summer Gonzalas hailed originally
from dorado, Texas. At Milwaukee
they jumped the show, and came back
to Kenosha planning to catch another
show that was working south for the
winter.
After they arrived here they learn
ed that there were no more carnivals
playing here and it was then that they
planned to steal machine in which
to travel. Officials stated that they
admired their taste

after some years. He often thought
of the time he had spent in your
city, always regretting, that he had
left it and the friends being so dear
to him. Of this all he often spoke
with me, so that / often felt to be
a child of Kenosha.
Therefore I take the liberty in these
hard times, to appeal to your kindness.
Times Hard in Germany.
The life in Germany is now so hard,
that the reports in the newspapers
are not sufficient, to give an idea OF
the Reorganization of all conditions
of life. Formerly it was possible to
live well a day from Mark 4, 25, the
value of a dollar. Today the prices
are: pound butter, mark 275, 900; one
pound coffee, mark 100000; one pound
pork, mark 10000; grease, mark
100000; meal, mark $4,000; one quart
milk, mark 10000; one pair of boots,
mark 100000; one dress, mark
$4,000, 900.
But who can today earn these high
sums? Especially the old people suf-
fer from these desperate straits, be-
cause they have no possibility to earn
so much, and the misery is growing
from day to day.
The hope of Germany that American
citizens will give better conditions of
life is. growing more and more, as we
have so many proofs of sympathy.
All Germans believe that their recov-
cry will only come from America.
Once more l take the freedom to
ask for your kind assistance and fay
our, shall always endeavour to
Justify it.
1 am, Sir, with expression of high
est regard,
Your very obedient servant,
Fred Schanker.
Claim Is Outlawed.
Because the eletter alleged that the
man had been injured in fighting a
fire in Kenosha many years ago, City
Manager Osborn is giving it more i'm
portance than one of the ordinary
letters from Germany asking Tor help,
scores of which have been received in
Kenosha. Of course any legal obliga-
ton which the city may have had in
connection with any such accident
would have been outlawed many years
ago.
The fact that investigation failed to
find any trace tof the incidents men
toned in the letter gave rise to a
belief that the letter may be very
clever scheme to secure money on an
appeal not based on fact. A close
investigation lis being made to dis
cover whether there was such a firm
in KenoSha back in the ffties or six
ties and whether any man of the
name given had helped to organize a
volunteer fire department here.
