tablet which will De set up in the new building.
Letting a contract for public building is
only starting it. It means lot more to finish
it, and if the building is finished in keeping
with the contract. Eternal vigilance is neces-
sary to get good public building, and there
must not be personal interest in the work in
order to get this vigilance. The building COM
mittee will be expected to see to it that the
right kind of inspection is furnished for the
building. This inspector should go to work
when the first shovel of concrete is placed in
the sub-basement, and he should stay on the
job until the pinnacle of the flagpole has been
gilded.
The difference between good building--a
building good for five generations-and a poor
building, which will be filled with disappoint-
ments rather than with service, is inspection
The right kind of inspection is the first real
problem which must be faced by the members
of the committee. A few thousand dollars
spent in getting the right kind of inspection Of
the work on this building will probably pay big
dividends in the value secured by the county.
The committee has shown it's willingness to
accept the grief of hard service in order to get
the best possible building for Kenosha, and we
are inclined to believe that the county and it's
people are to be congratulated on the makeup
of this committee. Chairman White and his
fellow workers are in line to render distin-
guished service to their neighbors and to pos
terity.

REPRIMANDs GOVERNOR.
~ Associafed Pressl


Buenos Aires - Called on by his
proud teacher to give an address of
welcome when the governor of the
Province Of Santa Fe visited his school
at Totores recently, fourteen-year-
old schoolboy jumped into fame
throughout Argentina by telling the
governor to his face that he had not
kept his election promises to improve
the school.
The lad had set Grafton to deliver
which he had learned by heart, but as
His Excellency and the education Of
ficials accompanying him listened with
benevolent attention, they got the
shock of their lives.
''You, Mr.. Governor" shouted the
boy at the conclusion of his prepared
discourse, ''you promised to make some
improvements in this school. You
promised to provide more desks. You
promised to enlarge the building and
to give US more teachers. Neverthe-
less, Mr.. Governor you have not kept
a single one, of these promises"
The boys teacher nearly tainted,
while the governor gasped and made a
hurried departure. The newspapers
are asking the governor what he is
going to do about it.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS?

The members of the Kenosha County Board
are to be commended in the action of the board
in deciding on a new court house. This matter
was taken up with precision unusual in such
boards, and disposed of in a manner which
opens the way for the immediate erection of the
court house. The board did not seek to bubble
over pennies, but told its committee to go right
ahead and build for Kenosha county court
house. The board in making this decision gave
to the members of the building committee a
great opportunity for service to the people of
the county and at the same time laid upon the
shoulders Of this half dozen men big respon-
sibility
We are inclined to think that the responsible
ity is recognized and that the men on the com
mittee realize fully their opportunity for and
the call to service. Undoubtedly these men
will have to make personal sacrifices to their
homes and their business in order to meet this
opportunity for service, but good court house
built at the right price and completed in a rea-
Isonabe time is going to be a mighty good mon
ument to their labors, and it is going to be
worth while to have their names on the bronze

POSTWAR EXPENSES HEAVY.
by Associated Press.j


Paris-The French budget for 1928,
now undergoing discussion in the Cham
Der of Deputies, shows that it costs
great deal of money not only to make
war, but also to wind up a war. Of
the total appropriations of % billion
francs asked for by theg overnment,
eight hundred million are to defray
expenses due to hostilities. This
amount includes no pensions or out
lay for reconstruction. The biggest
item is $50 million francs for the
maintenance of French troops in the
Near East. 1t costs France Sc million
francs year to share in the occupa-
tion of Constantinople, and the troops
located in the Sarre district cost
"a million year. Little odds and
ends of expense, such as decorations
Of persons and towns for valor dur
ing the war; the expenses of missions
sent abroad, ETC., reach the respectable
figure of 146 million francs.

WOLVES.

A great pack Of hungry timber
wolves kills and devours a white man
and two Indians in Ontario. City peo-
pie, secure and comfortable, read about
it and it seems unreal, page from the
past. Yet it is not many generations
since nearly every one in northern
states and Canada had to be on guard
against wolves and similar perils.
z Lif is getting soft. We have con-
quered our natural enemies,> except
germs. This leaves us more time for
stealing from and killing each other.
Cooperation is difficult when com
mon perils vanish. Might be a good
thing for nature to turn loose few
million wolves on US.

INDIANS

Truth may be stranger than fiction,
but not when it comes to modern In
dams. Nearly $4,000 bushels of grain
were grown and harvested, last season,
by the red men of the Canadian pro-
vinces, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskat-
chewan. On the side they raised such
items as $4,000 bushels of potatoes and
$1,000 tons of hay.
Important progress, possibly, but
somehow we prefer to think of the
Indian in his wild native state. Ro-
nance of the outdoors is disappearing
rapidly on our continent. The goal of
white civilization seems to be to stand
ardize people and make life as mechan-
ical and dull as possible.

Berlin.-"Workmen of Germany
Field Marshal Hunger is once again
on the march. His famous guns are
trained on your children. The health
officer reports that 80 per cent of Ber-
lin children are undernourished and so
per cent tubercular."
Thus the opening paragraph of q
placard I saw the other day on Ber-
lin billboard.
The German republic is not so much
in danger from the Communists on the
left or the Monarchists on the right as
from the enemy in front. His name
is Hunger" said a Prussian govern
ment official during debate in the
Landtag.
More and more Germans are realiz-
ing that undernourishment is destroy
ing the nations great asset-its next
generation.
The German birth rate may corn
pare favorably with neighboriag coun-
tries, but the question is whether these
babies will reach healthy, normal man
hood and wOmanhood. German doc
tors and vital statistics answer mo"
For my part, I think Essen probably
better worth study than Berlin. Me-
tropolis of the busy Ruhr district, the
Pittsburg of Germany, with 100000
Inhabitants, it better illustrates the
plight in which Germany finds itself.
There is little unemployment in Es-
SEN The workers draw better wages
than in some other big cities.
But even in the Ruhr the cost of
coal makes many homes remain with
out adequate heat, and as there is a
serious housing shortage, people hud-
die together. SO Essens death rate
shows steady increase
Out of every 1000 persons in Essen,
11.72 die and of these deaths 40 per
cent are among those who should form
the next generation.
81 am not trying" said DR.. Eric
Fisher, the health officer of Essen, to
me, to make out case, but. the truth
is horribly discouraging.
"Essen's health is worse than last
year and death rate figures approach
the worst times of the hunger block
ade during the war.
Despite increased wages the work
ing people find it hard to purchase
proper food. They can't give their
children the very things they need
the most-butter, milk, fat, meat,
sugar.
"Many people, with sickness in the
house, cannot afford doctor or an
infrmary. What used to cost three
marks per day now costs 800. It is
beyond their means"
In 43 German cities, it was reported
that 20O,633 had tuberculosis and 1885,
873 were sickly, owing to under
nourishment.
In Leipzig, 10000 children are re-
ported undernourished.
In Barmen 27 per cent are tuberculaI
and 80 per cent undernourished.
In Chemnitz 81 per cent are consider
ably undernourished, 10 per cent bad
ly SO.
In Karlsruhe 20 per cent of school
children have scrofula, Fl per cent
tuberculosis.

GRAVEYARD.

Heart diseases now head the list of
death causes among Americans. Next
in line as killers come flu and pneu-
monia. Then, in order tuberculosis,
cancer and tumors, and the various
kidney infammations known under the
general name of nephritis.
Cancer is gaining, tuberculosis grad
ually being conquered by medical
science. Smallpox, once wholesale
destroyer, now snuffs out only one
victim for every 1877 by tuberculosis.
All of which varies in interest, de-
pending on how near you are to the
end Of all roads death.
