Dies at Racine
Maurice Douse, Aged 81, Dies, After an
Illness of Three Weeks-Painter
for Fifteen Years.

Word has been received in Kenosha
telling Of the death of Maurice Douse,
aged 81, at ST. Mary's hospital in Ra-
cine on Thursday night. For fifteen
years Mr.. Douse has made his home in
Kenosha where he was employed as a
painter with the Thomas B. Jeffrey
company and later with the Nash Mo-
tors company. For the past three years
the deceased had been living in Water
ford, Wis, where he had a paint shop
of his own and where he won his way
into the hearts of the villagers there
with his engaging personality and wit,
Three weeks ago the deceased was
taken i'll suddenly and rushed to the
Racine hospital where it was discov-
cred that he was suffering with pneu-
monia Death came unexpectedly on

capital, a proportionate refund of the
over subscription will be made. No
received after the time
limit will be considered at all. All
subscriptions and payments shall be
made to the First Wisconsin, Trust
company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
See Chance for Profit.
The committee on reorganization
frankly states that the property of the
it's members that the property of the
company can be bought at very adj
vantageous price when the sale of, it
is ordered and that the prospects for
a good business investment are Of
fered The product of the company
has always born an excellent reputa-
ton and contracts are now being held
which new company could take over.
Seek Active Cooperation.
In concluding it's report the COM
mittee says:
"The preparation and mailing of
this report completes the work of the
committee up to this time; whether it
will have further duties and response
bilities is a matter that will abe de-
termined by the subscriptions and
payments of the stockholders. The
further obligations and duties of the
committee are to serve the wishes of
the stockholders who become within
the time indicated, financially inter-
ested in forming the new corporation.
To this end it will, as it has in the
past, use it's best efforts. 1t must be
clearly understood, however, that it
can not bring about results alone; it
must have and enjoy the unstinted
confidence and active cooperation of
the stockholders, and this must come
quickly to be effective and as an in
dividual matter. While it is urged
that intelligent counsel and advice be
sought, it would be fatal for one stock
holder or stockholders Let each
delay and govern his, her, or their &C
ton by the action of some other stock
holder of stockholders. Let each
stakeholder use his or her own best
judgment in the light of whatever
counsel and advice is regarded to be
trustworthy.
"All that the committee asks as the
representative of the stockholders is
quick action. This much is due to it..
It can not be reasonably expected that
the sacrifice of time, effort and money
can be prolonged indefinitely without
purpose or goal. Moreover, as indicat-
ed, the interests of the stockholders
imperatively require that each stock
holder shall act without delay"
