AND WHY NOT?

The City officials have adopted rule that
when the fire department is called for the pro-
lection of the property in suburban districts
that the property owner shall be Wiling 10 pay
something for the service.
It looks to us like good logic and good bus
mess. Being neighborly is an excellent thing
and we want to be neighborly with the terri
tory surrounding Kenosha, but we do not de-
sire to do all the "neighboring." Being a part
of a big city has it's benefits and 1T also has
its responsibilities. 1t costs money to nave paw
ed streets and sewers, police protection and
fire department. and somebody has TO pay that
money.
The city of Kenosha is not overly exclusive.
In our memory, we have never known any rea-
sonable application for annexation of property
to the city, to be turned down The usual pro-
test against annexation has come from people
who wanted all the benefits of Kenosha with
out paying for them. These people have asked
extensions of water, of gas and electricity, and
the use of sewers and usually they have pro-
tested against even costs, which were less than
actual costs of installation.
It costs the city of Kenosha two hundred
dollars every time it makes fire run, If that
run is made for the protection of property out
side the city, the owner of the property should
feel an obligation to pay rather than consider
1t an opportunity TO KICK OH TedSOHdOl0
charges Public utilities in the city of Kenosha,
are for the people of the city, and not primarily
for the people of the surrounding territory. If
Kerosha can furnish facilities for fire fighting,
and for home conveniences to these people,
there will be little objection on the part Of the
general public within the city if these people
are willing to pay
You cannot buy city privileges and city con-
veniences with rural taxes. Any examination
of tax figures will show that the urban popula-
ton pays for everything it gets and usually
pays little more in order that the territory
surrounding it may be improved.
We do not grudge a nickle that Kenosha, as
city has spent in the Improvement of Keno
sha county, but we do believe that the city
should have credit for spending it and that the
people in the county should feel a reasonable
gratitude for the expenditure.
When a man sees his property endangered
by fire, he naturally wants to do everything
possible to save it. He should be just as anx-
ious to pay for the cost of saving it.

DRAW THEM A STATE ORDER.

The educational institutions of the state
have asked the emergency board for half a
million dollars for needed expenditures The re-
quest is said to be the foundation for consid-
Grafton of calling a special session of the leg
islature. It is admitted that the emergency
board has both authority and funds to meet
the demands of these institutions. The best
possible way to meet them would be to care
fully examine the demands and see that they
are necessary demands and then tell the state
treasurer to draw a state order. The state
has eleven million dollars on hand right now,
and any business man who had real demands
for the advancement of his business and real
money to pay for these demands, would not
monkey around ten minutes in making de-
cision.
Of course special session of the legislature
might manufacture some excellent political
propaganda. 1t might even make the appropria-
tions needed by the Institutions this is
much doubted. The cost of special legisla-
tive session would mount into the thousands
of dollars to the state and into thousands for
the members of the legislature
1t isn't needed, and it isn't desirable. What
Wisconsin needs is business methods and not
political activities.

HOW Can a Poor
Man Get Ahead?

Among the trusting Americans who
have put billion dollars into worth
less securities and more than $780,
100000 in to German marks since the
war is not Mrs. Maymie Tenowltz,
laundress, a widow, who recently
bought a $4,000 home and who has
given her 1S-year old daughter, Mar
guerite, a normal school education.
Mrs. Tenowitz moved from a Wis
consin farm to town in 1907. year
later her husbands death left her
with baby daughter to support. She
became a lundress at $3.50 day. OF
the SO weekly wage 81 went into
savings account in the bank. 1t was
sore temptation not to touch it IN
times of stress. Neighbors and rela-
tives begged for loans. Others urged
Mrs. Tenowitz to buy stocks, which,
they said, would yield much more than
savings bank interest, and might make
her rich Mrs. Tenowitz knew the saw
ings account was safe. She knew moth
ing about stocks. She saved almost
$500 in five years!
When she had $500 she put it into
a little four-room house that cost
$2, 800. With no rent to pay and with
two of the four rooms rented, she paid
off $1,000 in monthly installments in
less than three years. That left a
mortgage of $1,000, sixty dollars in
terest and $40 year taxes to meet.
Again Mrs. Tenowitz became reg
ular visitor to the savings bank. Again
she declined opportunities to buy stock
or lend money. In less than four years
she had another $1,000. Last summer
she sold her little home for $4,000.
She hated to give it up, but she felt
that it wasn't good enough for Mar
guerite. She paid $4,000 for a little
nicer house on neater street. The
expense of owning the new home in
these days of high rents costs Mrs.
Tenowitz less than $40 a month for
taxes, interest and insurance.
eyes, it has been hard" said this
laundress who has never earned more
than $416 day, "but it was worth it.
This fall when Marguerite started as
public school teacher at $3.50 a

was proud to bring her friends"

Your Health
By DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON.
Healthy lungs

Healthy Lungs.
Healthy lungs simply mean lungs
that are unimpaired by disease germs
and respond to the free elastic move
ments of the chest, ribs, intercostal
muscles and the diaphragm in the pro-
cess of breathing.
Strictly speaking, there are no
healthy lungs All are more or less.
impaired, through invading dust, in.
haling smoke and disease during
childhood. Germs and microbes of
many kinds gain entrance to the lungs
by mouth breathing.
The bronchi and trachea have hair
like processes on the mucous mem
hrane of their walls which do their
best to expel minute foreign bodies
and microbes from entering the lungs.
But in spite of all efforts, these germs
do get nj and cause such diseases as
influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia and
tuberculosis.
The lungs in a pure healthy con-
dition are a pearly white. Eskimos
have the nearest approach to such
lungs The lungs of the city dweller
are gray! The coal miners lungs are
much darker, sometimes nearly APP
preaching black.
This does not mean that almost
everybody has diseased lungs. The
great majority are in fairly good con-
dition, due principally to the fact that
the lungs are great in recuperative
powers In fact, they are almost as
good in this respect as the overused
and much abused heart.
To help your lungs in the fight
against germs and disease you must
at all times carefully observe the cor
rect rules of respiratory health. The
chest will not work in frst-class con-
dition if bent out of shape and restrict
ed through improper posture, in it's
muscular movements. BY keeping up
your gymnastics and deep breathing
exercise you can aid your lungs to
healthy old age.
Remember that the lungs are a
great aid to the heart in keeping up a
good blood circulation. Well-developed
lungs, combined with good breathing
exercises, are a wonderful aid to your
heart in its work for long life.

WE MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY.

1t is to be regretted that the city of Keno
sha did not do something to secure within it S
immediate territory the location of the "City
of Childhood" great institution to be erected
by the members of the American Yeomen,
Kenosha had it's chance. The leading officials
of the order came to Kenosha, picked out a site
and wanted some encouragement. About all
the encouragement they got was chance to
speak before the Rotary and the Kiwanis club
Possibly these fellows wanted to be helpful,
but the effort to really locate the institution,
got no further than talk
Just talk, is not very valuable in doing any
thing. 1t is the chief asset of the curb stone
loafer, and the cheap politician and neither of
these classes have ever done a great deal to
boost city or make world better.
The City of Childhood" would have been a
great advertisement for Kenosha 1t would
have brought thousands and tens of thousands
of people to the city annually. These people
would have spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars with local merchants. They would
have made Kenosha better business town.
United effort on the part of citizens is neces-
Safy to secure consideration from men who
want to spend money. 1t matters not whether
they are locating factory or an educational
institution, they want to come to a town where
there are people enough, believing in the town
TO boost it.
Kenosha has lots of people who believe in it,
but they insist for the most part on some one
else doing the boosting and paying for the
boosting.

ure be also does not appear in the ritual of
these people and they have practiced divorce

but we haven't and there is no use rafting
dry bones. There should be some live spirits
who hate dry bones, and who know how to do
something different
Kenosha is going to lose consideration from
people who want to locate big industries and
big institutions, until the time when Kenosha
people come to appreciate the value of united
effort. The same thing goes for a post Office,
