COMBINATION OFFERED
AS FARMERS PANACEA
Assistant Secretary of Navy Prescribes
Cooperation and Combination
as Remedy.

Syracuse, N. Y. Combination and
cooperation is the hope of the Amer
lean farmer, assistant secretary Roose-
welt of the navy department declared
today in an address at the New York
state fair. The governments part in
aiding the agriculturalist,, he 1 said,
should he confined to legalizing full
est cooperation and assisting it through
the federal agencies of information,
and in extending credit facilities
where it serves some practical pur-
pose"
"In my opinion" Mr.. Roosevelt said,
"the farmer has not kept step with the
times. The day of the small indiyid
ual has passed. Economy and effici-
ency are vital to success and it is ak
iomatic that either in buying or sell
ing, if you deal in bulk you can deal
to your advantage.
"There is one way and one way on
ly that the farmer can meet this con-
dition. He must combine himself. If
he does not combine and cooperate
with his brother farmers, he will un-
ouestionably be forced under. The
proof of this is everywhere around u.s."

AMERICAS NEW PLACE

Many Americans fancy that. be-
cause labor is well employed and
our industries have been reporting
substantial earnings and improve
ment over the depression period,
normalcy has been restored. The
truth is, what we must consider
normal in the future will be an en-
tirely different thing from what
was considered normal prior to
the war. One reason is, our new
place in the world as the leading
creditor nation. That change is a
permanent one. We are not going
to return to the old position OF
debtor nation. Bankers in the ag-
ricultural communities have come
to the conclusion that we cannot
afford to maintain an attitude Of
isolation and that opinion is not
personal one. The men l. have
talked with are voicing the ideas
OF the people with whom they
have daily business contact.
A great many politico-economists
have warned against Americas en-
trance into the European situation,
asserting that our foreign trade
makes up less than 20 per cent of
our production, and therefore is too
small an item to be vital or to risk
our investment in. They forget, and
most people who have listened to
them forget, that the unimportant
20 per cent is the difference be.
tween full employment of our in
dustl.ses and1abor and much unem.
ployment and business depression.
If a manufacturing enterprise is
running at 80 per cent of capacity,
it may be making a fairly good
showing of earnings, but it is not
running at normal and is not earn.
ing the margin which 1t should
earn in order to be fully prosper
Gus. 1t appears obvious that we
shall have to build up foreign in
vestments in this country. But it
will be necessary to go slowly in
the matter Of foreign investments.
There must be assurance that
whatever we loan will be used for
productive urposes.-William q.

forts and pleasures and therefore
it is good? That Is not enough.
They can rightfully tell US that,
even though a system may minis
ter to our physical well-being, if it
stunts US morally, if it does not
positively make Us better ethically,
1T Is an inadequate system.
The general answer to this as
sertion is obvious. The very fact
that our industry. commerce and
finance serve US SO amply with the
materials and means for physical
well-being gives US the opportuni-
ty to build and support our
churches, to foster the arts, to de-
velop our great educational system,
to be kind to one another.
But need we deal in generali-
ties? Do we not find in the direct
effect of our business upon the in
dividual much to improve his ethi-
cal standards? To tougher his NOR
al fiber? Is it not good for the per-
sonal character of the race to do
business as we are now doing it?
Let us take the business of bank
ing, for example. Is it mere
mechanism or is it a vital moral
force? Does it do more than, by
facilitating production, raise the
physical standard of living, or is
there anything inherent in the
manner and methods of banking
that raises the moral standard Of
living as well?
Nine-tenths OF our business is
done by means Of credit. The great
bulk of that credit is obtained from
the banks. It is obtained from the
banks because men have character,
because they are hohsst, because
they keep faith,-because they can
be trusted.
II they did not have these quail
ties they could not do business with
credit, they could not do business
at the banks. We say banks deal
in credit. That is but way Of
saying they deal in honor and hon
esty. They build the business
structure with the faith of man in
man.
The part banking plays in our

START BUYING
NEW FURNITURE
Building Committee for
Courthouse Empowered
to Buy.
ADVERTISE BOND ISSUE

An indication of the progress which
is being made in the construction of
Kenosha county's new courthouse was
given this morning when the county
board passed a motion authorizing and
empowering the new building commit
tee to advertise and receive bids and
let contracts for furniture for the new
courthouse and Jail. This will give
the committee time to investigate bids
from various concerns for the fur
nishings and will make sure that there
will be no delay in securing these as
soon as the buildings are completed.
Work on the courthouse proper has
just been started since the site was
not available until only a few weeks
ago. The jail building is nearing
completion SO far as the exterior is
concerned and the committee will turn
it's attention first to the buying of
equipment and furnishings for that
building.
The committee was also authorized
to advertise for sale the 100000 bond
issue which is to be made to finance
the building of the new courthouse
and which was authorized at previ
Gus sessions of the board.
This was the important business
laid before the board at its session
this morning. Late this afternoon it
was expected that the question Of
whether or not the county would con-
tinue with it's plans for securing a
tract index would be decided by the
board.
A large part of the time was given
over to the assignment of claims to
various committees. The most inter
esting of these was the claim from
Jefferson county for 5000, the charg-
es being claimed as a result of the
disbarment proceedings carried on
there against former District Attor-
ney Peter Fisher, Jr., of this county,
this being an echo of the grand jury
cleanup Of several years ago.
Make Road Survey Monday.
The members of the county board
and several other county officials made
the annual road inspection trip on
Monday, making the tour Of the entire
county. Supervisor Frank Zerfas, as
chairman of the committee of the
whole, was in charge of the tour with
County Highway Commissioner John
F. Herzog assisting. A formal report
Of the tour will be made later. 1t
was declared informally that the work
on the various highways was found to
have progressed as rapidly as could
have been expected.
The county commissioners dined at
a chicken dinner at Neidl's hotel at
Twin Lakes. Frank Zerfas presided
as POSTMASTER following the dinner
with short speeches following by Judge
John c. Slater, County Highway Com
missioner Herzog and County Treas
urer Tom Scott.

DEEP SEA DIVERS
SEARCH FOR BODIES
ProwI Among the Wrecks of American
Destroyers Stuck on Rocks of
the Pacific.
fBy United Pressl

Los Angeles - Deep sea divers
prowled today through the surf-batter-
ed hulks of the seven naval destroyers
wrecked off Point Arguella grave yard
of ships" for the bodies Of sailors be-
lieved entombed there.
A detachment Of navy men along
shore and five tugs standing off the
dangerous rocky point are making every
effort to recover the bodies of % sea-
men reported dead or missing in
the wreck.
So far only three bodies are known
to have been recovered.
The bodies have been identified as
fireman S. Vanshack of the U. S. de-
strover Young and Fireman B. A. Con-
row of the Delphi.
Most of the missing men are believed
entombed within the underwater line
compartments of the capsized Young.
The seven ships, best of the navy
hornets, are to be left to die on the
rocks. The navy men hope to salvage
only portion of the valuable appar-
atus.
Captain E. H. Watson, who was in
command of the miniature fleet
when it dashed upon the rocks in the
Saturday night fog is still in command
He will continue to hold his 5sition
until the findings of +he naval board
of inquiry fix responsibility for the
disaster.
The general belief Of navy experts
is that responsibility for the crash
should not be laid to human fallability
but rather to unusual tidal conditions
and a radio jam.
Men on the naval compass station at
Point Arguella tell an interesting story
of the disaster. Although they were
to have given the destroyer fleet its
position and thus have averted the
crash, they were unaware that the, trag-
edy had occurred a short distance
away until breathless ranchers arrived
of their tower.

Two Salem Farmers to
Fight Out Difficulties in
the Courts
AN INTERESTING CASE
Defendant Threatened to Stop
Up Plaintiffs End of a Part
nership Drain

A neighborhood quarrel found its
way into the courts this morning when
Charles Getting and wife Bertha Oct
ting, through their attorneys, Taylor
& Ruetz, filed a summons in the circuit
court asking for permanent injunc-
ton to prevent William Mecklenburg,
a neighbor from stopping up part
nership drain for the adjoining farms
of the litigants. The complaint which
accompanies the summons alleges that
several years ago the two farmers built
a partnership drain leading past both
of their residences and thence into
an open ditch to empty into CHANNEL
lake.
It is claimed that the drain was
erected In keeping with a contract
which protected both sides in the pres
ent case. Each of the farmhouse
was equipped with bathrooms sinks
and other facilities made possible by
the drain, which will be made useless
in the event that the drain is stopped
up. stste
Claims Threats Were Made.
The plaintiff alleges that at several
times the defendant has threatened to
close off the underground drain from
the Getting farmhouse at a point just
north of where his own private under
ground sewer enters into the said
partnership drain. This, according to
the plaintiff would be in violation of
the contract under which the drain
was erected and would do damage to
his property to the amount of $500
inasmuch as it would necessitate his
building a separate drain and ditch.
Both sides promise to contest the
case bitterly and an interesting legal
fight is expected.
Several other suits, all of them civil
suits, were filed with Clerk of the Cir
cult Court George Stevens this morn
ing. John Christianson, as plaintiff
filed summons against E. G. Russell
in claim arising out of IN automobile
accident. Charles A. Stevens and
Brothers, Chicago, filed summons in a
claim against Virginia ]. Wulf, Keno
sho, but no details of suit were made
public. Henry G. Anderson also filed
a suit against Stanley Jonas, involv-
ing the purchase Of some store goods
Summons in all of these cases were fl
ed by Attorneys Taylor & Ruetz, rep
resenting the plaintiffs.

BLASTED HAND
CURED BY POLICE
James McGrath of New
York ''Pan-handles''
Self Into JAIL
IS RELEASED TODAY

James McGrath, SO, of New York
City, who told the police that he was
an interior decorator, was arrested
last night by Officer Robert Mitchell
near the Northwestern station. He
was booked on charge of begging.
James arrived in Kenosha Sunday
night from Chicago. In the vernacular
he is known as flame duck" Even
as he stepped from the train, his left
hand, took on that mis-shapen rheu-
matte appearance. He surveyed the
town and then seated himself on a
bench, A few minutes later he had
injected the pathetic note in his voice
and fallen intoS conversation with g
couple Of passengers awaiting the ar
rival of trains. Ever, as he told the
story of the dead wife, his helpless
children, and the terrible malady
which had made him cripple fol
life, ne was manfully restraining 6
desire to burst into tears.
, Sleeps in Bed.
A little later Sunday night Jim
"hayed in between the whites" which
being translated from the lingo means
that he had promoted" enough tc
sleep in bed Also there was the
price of plate of beans, with which
to decorate the interior.
Kenosha was a good town. Last
night he was "laying in the same scat
ter" when officer Mitchell approached
from the rear and listened to the
"squawk Of the lame duck" Instantly
he recognized the professional note
and invited Jim to sleep at headquar
tiers. When his pockets were searched
they revealed a cake Of soap, a razor
strop, a toothbrush, a sack of tobacco
a 10-cent diamond and S1.85.
A miraculous cure had been effected
James hand was well.
Just before the police were read,
to hail James into court he promise,
to leave town, and owing to the fac
that his Crippled hand had beer
cured, allowed as how he would b
able to go to work. He was release,
by the police.
