King Opens Riksdag
Wrapped in Ermine

Matchmaking Gustav, in his
throne speech delivered at the recent
opening of the 1928 Riksdag, felicitat-
ed his country on the honor of having
been elected to the Council of the
League of Nations, and at the same
time called attention to Sweden's new
responsibility in helping to bring con-
cord to disunited Europe. 81 am con-
vinced," said the King, "that our peo-
pie will unanimously adhere to the
basic ideas of justice in the work to-
ward national reconciliation and peace,
ideas which must inspire the League
if it is TO endure and advance"
The opening of the Riksdap was
characterized by the traditional pomp
and ceremony. The King sat on his
throne partly wrapped in royal erminc,
with the Crown Prince, Gustav Adolf,
at his right and Prince William at his
left. Behind them on the dais were
other members of the royal family,
staff officers of the army and navy,
and members of the court in resplend-
ent uniforms and decorations. Prime
Minister Branting and the members of
his cabinet, all social Democrats, were
present. The galleries were occupied
by the diplomatic corps, guests, and
ladies.
One Of the gratifying announcements
of the King was that, by careful par
ing down of the national budget for
the fiscal year 1923-24, the need of i'm
posing increased taxes had been avoid
ed. The total appropriations called
for amount to 737,6o0,000 crowns, or
about $2o0,Oo0,o00, which is $500, OOn,-
900 crowns less than the appropria-
tions for the present budget year.
A reduction of 100000 crowns in
the military and naval expenditures,
as compared with last year, is one of
the new economies. The bonuses add
ed to government salaries to compen-
safe for the rise in the cost of living
during and after the war, will be de-
creased by 100000 crowns.

SEES CITY'S NEED
OF PARK SYSTEM
Director Carlson Tells RO-
tary of Urgent Need of
KenOsha People.
GET THE LAKE SHORE

Showing how far Kenosha was be-
hind the normal city of the nation in
securing lands for park purposes, Di-
rector of Parks Carlson spoke to the
members of the Kenosha Rotary club
at noon today and urged upon the or
ganization its support of every move
ment for the development of a greater
park system for Kenosha.
He pointed out the rapid growth of
Kenosha and declared that Kenoshs
must look forward to a population of
seventy >thousand people in 1880 and
that in 1850 if Kenosha continued to
have only d normal growth that il
would be city of $4,000. He show
ed that at the present time Kenoshs
had but two hundred and fifty acres
of park lands and that the ratio of ar
acre for each one hundred people
would demand four hundred and fifty
acres.
Mr. Carlson spoke especially of the
desirability of the city securing the
lands along the North Lake Shore
with view of developing a boulevard
and park system which would keep fol
the Kenosha of the future the most
beautiful land to be found anywhere
in Wisconsin. He spoke of the mis-.
takes of other cities in clinging t.
small secluded properties for parks
and permitting the wonderful develop.
ments Of the lake shore to be lost to
them.
He declared that the city at this
time should do it's utmost to get the
lands which would be most available
for parks later with the view of hav.
ing an acre Of park land for each one
hundred people.
His instructive talk showed clearly
how all of the recreational features OF
the city could be developed if these
suggestions were carried out.

MISS SLATER
Is CLUB HEAD
Catholic Woman's Club
Elects Officers for 1928
1924 Saturday.
HEAR TRAVEL TALK

Miss Dorothy Slater will be the
next president of the Catholic Wom-
ans club. Election was held Satur-
day during the February session at
the Elks' clubhouse. Miss Slater has
been very active member of the
Catholic Woman's club and has been
associated with other clubs in the city.
She will succeed Mrs. Lulu Murphy
who has been president for two years.
The other officers elected are as fol-
lows: First vice-president, Mrs. Julia
Griffith; second vice-president, Mrs.
Lulu Murphy; treasurer, Mrs. Gather
inc Schrofer; recording secretary,
Miss Cathie Mcnamara; correspond
ing secretary, Miss Grace Matthews;
spiritual advisor, Rev. Father John
Hegeman of st. Thomas church.
An Imaginary Tour.
The program for the afternoon was
unusual and entertaining. Rev. F., r.
Czerwinski of St. Cazimir's church,
who was abroad in 1922, described
certain of his travels. He has dis
cussed the more serious aspects of
the political and Industrial activities
on several occasions but Saturdays
talk was of important places visited.
He made the narrative so vivid that
each of his listeners felt that she had
spent the Afternoon travelling.
Rev. Czerwinski told about the
Grotto at Lourdes where such Won
derful miracles are being performed.
In greater detail he described the Pas
sion Play at 0berammergau. That it
is the most fascinating, the most awe
inspiring play ever produced, he says,
is evidenced by the fact that an audi
ence of from eight thousand to twelve
thousand people sits spell-bound for
eight or nine hours to witness the
| performance.
The U. S. A. is Best.
A visit to the Palace of Mirrors,
where the peace treaty was signed,
was one of the outstanding features
of the trip. Rev. Czerwinski said that
it was a thrilling moment when he
stood on the same spot where ex-
president Wilson had sat during the
conference. "The best thing about a
! GIIp W GuIOpSt dbhSL SACL WIFE nj
confessed, sis that it makes you re-
alize what a wonderful country the
United States of America is, and it
instiIs in your heart greater love
and respect for our country"
Mrs. William O'Brien furnished the
musical entertainment. She sang,
very charmingly, "The Holy City," and
''The Palms." She was accompanied
by Mrs. Richard Gaffney.
| During the business session Miss
Pauline Mayer read an interesting
current event article on the Oregon
school question which has been great
ly agitated recently. Mrs. Edward
Peterson, chairman Of the philan-
thropy committee, reported two pa
tients who had been taken care of
through the general bed maintained
by the club at St. GATHERINGS hos

the fact that both Mr.. Schmitt and Mr..

There is-no reason why Mr.. Schmitt
should not certify to the work that has
already been done by him, as part of
his duty. Mr.. Shaw has also had the
confidence of this board, to the extent
of our employing him. There has been
nothing to destroy that confidence and
there is no question of any Irregular

books may have been mistake, but
that can be rectified and the books
returned"
Mr.. Shaw was summoned to give his
version of the situation and he gave
the same explanation for the removal
of the books to Kenosha as already
given by Mr.. Holderness.
The matter closed amicably after a
lengthy discussion when it was agreed
that the books would be returned to
Racine, in the custody there of the
Racine register of deeds, and that Mr..
Schmitt would certify to the work COM
pleted by him, Mr.. Shaw to certify to
the work he accomplishes from that
point to the conclusion of the work.

the second. She was tried and con-
Victed for starting the big blaze and
received a ten year sentence. John
Harps a couple of years ago pur-
chased the lot and erected thereon a
handsome one-story hollow tile and
Drlck building, that is now rented to
the V. 5. Government as postoffice.
Next to this there stood in early
days one and a half story frame
building that was a blacksmith shop.
Edward Desjardin, pioneer black
smith OF French descent, was the first
to occupy the building and continued
IN the business for many years. A
man named Jacob Finger had a
wagon shop in the upper part.
A family named Hopkins, dwelt in
small frame building back of the
shop, adjoining the blacksmith shop.
There was a frame building that was
occupied by Orrie L. Stone, the first
harness maker in Potosi
Those old buildings were in about
the year 1881 purchased by Hunt Sc
Jackson, who removed them and built
a fine two-story frame building on
the lots. The lower part of the build
ing was for several years used for d
creamery, and the second story for
dwelling purposes, and also as a
htoel, conducted by M. l.. Spaulding
and wife. Mr.. Spaulding was the
butter maker.
1t was in this hotel that Judge Will
mott performed his first marriage
| ceremony, uniting young couple
from Dickeyville. The property in
later years was sold to John Baum
Ter, who converted the lower room
into saloon, and lived with his FAM
lily in the second. About fifteen years
ago Baumler sold to Cap Schmitz,
who conducted a saloon. Cap inn
proved the property by building an
addition on the north side, that be
later sold to Elskamp and Wiedman,
who opened hardware store. The
sale included the stone barn in the
rear. These all went down in the
fire of 1918. A large two-story tile
and brick building stands in the place
Of the frame one destroyed, and is
owned and occupied by Cap Schmitz
as pool hall. DR.. Mauel has his Oh

story
Elskamp & Wiedman built hand
some one-story tile building on their
lot, used as a hardware store.
Back of this store stood a two
story stone barn that was built by
Joseph Hall in about 1910. Mr.. Hall
for many years conducted a livery
stable and was widely known in these
parts. Everybody knew Joe Hall. He
lived in log house near the barn. IL
was removed many years ago. The
historical old barn after an existence
of about rs years, was so badly DAM
aged by the fire of 1918, that it was
taken down and a tile warehouse is
built on the lot by Elskamp & WED
