ance of a collector for the Volunteers
of America who put in an appearance
and asked for a permit. He said he
came from Milwaukee headquarters.
He was told to come back in the af-
ternoon. Meanwhile he was checked
by long distance telephone, and it was
learned that Milwaukee had never sent
out any man. He failed to return for
the permit.
The activities of this committee
alone, Mr.. Reed said, would save the
merchants more than their annual dues
to the association.
State Organization Coming.
The time is coming shortly when
there will be one big state organiza-
ton into which all branches of retail
trade will be incorporated, without
loss of their identity. This move, he
stated, will give the utterances of the
retailers of Wisconsin the attention
which they deserve at Madison. When
an organization Of this nature, as large
and powerful as it will be, makes GER
tain demands on the legislators, they
will be forced to listen attentively.
He said that during the past year the
legislative committee of the Kenosha
Retailers has given attention to the
following bills: the garnishee, the la
beling of fabrics, the dairy bill, unem-
ployment insurance, the fraudulent adj
vertising, and the secrecy repeal. He
prognasticated a brighter year to
come.
Rev. Dorward snatched the attention
of his audience from the smoke-filled
atmosphere and by use of artistic
touches of humor and pointed anec-
dote, riveted it while he continued
speaking.
HumOr is Lies Oil.
Humor, he said, is the oil of life,
and literally he used it while he put
together his master key of nine parts.
These parts he defined as tact, system,
power, thrift, character, humor, init
alive, friendship, and perseverance.
Rev. Dorward described tact as the
art of taking the stingef out of the
bee without getting stung. Eliminate
tact from the machinery of business
and it will go to rack and ruin in a
day." he declared.
System means place for every
thing, and everything in its place. The
seasons come in rapid, rigid regularity
that's Gods system"
Illustrating the necessity of power
he told the story of the train which
stalled between Glasgow and London.
SANDY sat in the coach as long as he
could. When he could stand it no
longer he climbed down and went to
the engineer. Jock he said, Have We
no water in yer boiler?' Yes replied
the engineer, but l have no steam in
the engine"

This he declared is the reason why
many young men fail to get ahead.
They stay out late nights and bring
drowsy, half-hearted, Indifferent serv-
ice to their employer the following
day.
''Save Your Time
Thrift is not alone the art of watch
ing the pennies, but the knack of saw
ing time. ''You may get back the pen
ny that you lose, but lost minute is
dead forever" He said that many of
the stories told against the Scotch
were pure libel.
Character comes from the Greek
word, meaning to stamp. Character is
what we are when alone with God in
the dark.
"Humor is the oil of life. God must
have liked humor or he would not have
made the mule, the monkey, the par
rot or some of the legislators at Mad
ison Now when you get through
laughing, remember whether or not
you were at the polls last year. Yes.
God liked laughter or he wouldn't have
made it possible for us to laugh.
Initiative is doing the right thing
at the right time. 1t is gumption.
Don't plunge, but don't be afraid
Friendship, is life's choicest pos
session. Guard your true friends, for
they are treasures. The roots of
frienship go to the very foundations of
society.
Perseverance is three-fold 1t is
the act of taking hold, of holding on
and never letting go.
These nine parts form the master

The county board of supervisors at
its meeting this morning at the court
house took up the question of mural
paintings and interior decorating of
the new courthouse now being erect

COUNTY ALL SET
TO GRAPPLESNO
Will be Able to Open 20
Miles a Day With Appar-
atus, Herzog Says.
HAVE THREE MACHINES

Kenosha county is prepared for
snow, John F. Herzog, county highway
commissioner, announced today, The
equipment consists of three pieces of
snow apparatus, with which it is es-
timated, 20 miles of highway can be
cleared a day, under reasonable condi-
tions. Each of the machines will ham
die snow which is not. more than three
feet deep on the level.
A 12-foot knife has been attached to
a lotion caterpillar tractor. This blade
can be pushed at the rate of about
three miles an hour, while the cater
pillar tractor is so long that the weight
of the machine is distributed in such
way that the pavement will not be
injured.
The second caterpillar tractor will
be used to pull grading knife, which
has been equipped to take care of the
snow. The machine it is said will
wade through three feet of snow. The
third machine is a rotary pillow which
was built for the county by the Win
Their plant This apparatus, Mr.. Her
zog said, has never been given fair
test, due to the fact that on each oc-
casion when it was used, it had to
combat the most adverse conditions.
The snow was either so wet that t
was almost impossible to handle it, or
ice had formed which required a sharp
knife.
Protection for Drivers.
The drivers have been safeguardeG
against the cold by heavy canvas cabs
which have been built on the three
machines. Later these shelters may
be constructed of heavier material
but it is planned to give the heavy
canvas a test before putting the coun-
ty to the additional expense.
While the machines are primarily in
tended for use on county trunk high
ways, Mr. Herzog stated that if the
condition in the city should become so
bad that the city force could not cope
with it, he would order some of the
principal streets broken open.

Dubuque Man Finds
Europe in Bad Way

A picture of ragged poverty and
wickedness was brought back from
Europe and given to the Lions club
Of Dubuque by S. B. Lattner, past
president of the club, at its regular
meeting Thursday noon. Mr. Latt-
ner was the only speaker on the pro-
gram.
Economically the nations of Eng
land and France are in sad condi-
ton, Mr.. Lattner said Unemploy-
ment is so bad in England that the
government has found it necessary to
feed the unemployed and their famil-
les from the state treasury.
Stagnation of industry is not the
only factor in highlands condition
Shortage of men is another. There
are six million more women than men
in England and France and Mr.. Latt-
ner said that this condition has con-
! fronted the women of those countries
with the serious problem of how to
earn a livelihood. One of the natural
results of this condition has been the
trend to immortality which, the speak
er said, is very noticeable.
| London, Mr.. Lattner said, is mans
town in which one can feel the thrOh
of power. Paris he characterized as a
woman's town which exists only for
pleasure.
Mr.. Lattner recently returned from
the World Convention of Sunday
school at Glasgow. He said that the
convention was very successful and
was the greatest convention ever held
in the interests of worldwide peace
He preached the gospel of peace,
drawing from his views of the conclu-
sion that every man should talk peace
live peace and die for peace.

ACCOUNTING RECORD

What is essential in order that the
directing head of large organization
may keep in touch with all the phases
OF his business with its varied inter
ests and be able to pass sound judg-
ment on It's progressl The answer Is
simple, writes Joseph French Johnson,
d. G. s., LII. D., In Forbes Magazine. He
must have facts, and his judgment will
be at fault unless the facts available
Tor his use are both accurate and
comprehensive. 1t is through his &C
counting records that such facts are
gathered. In them he has a continu-
Gus record of the facts concerning his
business. II he has this knowledge
he Will know first OF all whether his
business hIs an accounting system or
only set OF books. So II the books
do not tell the status and progress OF
his business-if they are mere routine
records Of business transactions there
may be no proper accounting system
at all. Books with figures in them
do not produce accounting systems
any more than owning banjo entities
man to call himself a banjo player.
II I'M accounting system is anything
at all to business man, 1t ought to
be a chart and compass showing him
the direction in which his organiza-
tiOn is headed. The accountant pre-
pares financial statements. He may
consider the job well done when his
books and statements balance. The ex-
ecutive in charge, however, is con.
cerned with the contents of the state
ments. Do the sales and profits OF the
current year bear the proper return
to the results of previous years7 Was
the Increase or decrease In profit com
mensurate with the change in cost OF
doing business7 Was a decreased profit
due to excessive losses or unproduc
tive advertising, or was It a result OF
concentration Of sales effort on less
profitable lines Of goodsI These and
other problems will confront the eI
ecutive, and he looks to his statements
both for the actual facts and for
Indications OF the changes that are
desirable as well.
