ADVERTISING BY RADIO.

Henry Iundskow is doing his home city
good turn daily by the operation of radio sta
tion VICAR. The town that hasn't radio sta
tion in these days is almost as far behind the
times as the town which hasn't motorized it's
fire department.
It may be that radio station is not quite
as important as fire department, but it is de-
cidedly worthwhile to have the name of that
city in the air and to have people from Maine
to California recognize the fact that there is
such place as Kenosha. It's good advertising
and the more Kenosha puts into station VICAR
the more good advertising the city is going to
get out of it.
Mr.. Lundskow is not asking for an approp-
ration from the city council to carry on this
radio advertising campaign for his home town.
but he should have every kind of support that
the people of Kenosha can give him.
Kenosha has it's full quota of good singers,
good pianists, good takers and with the serv-
ives of it's people being donated to help in this
advertising campaign station VICAR can give
the world mighty good idea of the kind of
artists we have in Kenosha
It's hard to estimate the value of radio ad-
vertising, but it is certain that radio is going
to help materially in putting Kenosha on the
map at lot of places where it had not been
given any consideration before.
Lundskow is doing decent thing for his
home town and he is entitled to have someone
say Much Obliged"

deprive the patriotic people of Kenosha of their
birthright
1t would be much better if the troops here
in Kenosha might take part in this parade. We
know that the members of this troop are de-
sirous of giving every possible aid to the OBJ
servance of the day. But these men must obey
orders-they are solders-and the first thing
that good soldier learns is obedience to the
orders of his superior officer.
The American Legion committee has right
fully refused to be bound by the order OF the
governor or the threat of politically controlled
adjutant general. These boys who gave much
to save the nation still want to be thoughtful
of it's preservation. They have no false Ideas
about Defense Day. They know that is an
inventory of the nations resources and not
showing of its military strength.
It is to be hoped that when the committee OF
the American Legion meets this evening 1T
will vote unanimously to go ahead with some
plan to insure Kenosha being represented IN
this great national patriotic festival. The fact
that Wisconsin officially isolates itself does not
mean that all the people of the state must fol-
low this order. Insurgency has always been
feature in Wisconsin and insurgency should
show itself at this time and demand that the
people who want to follow the call of the Presi-
dent should have just as many rights as the
people who insist on following the call or the
orders of politician ruling as governor.
The honor of Kenosha is at stake and it
should be made evident that Kenosha is not
backing up the stand of Wisconsin officials in
opposition to the call of the nations leaders.

DISEASED.

The trouble isn't so much that we
have too many laws, but that too much
time is wasted enforcing the wrong
ones. Here's a case. Every community
has an ordinance against splitting on
sidewalks, in street cars and other
public places. Few local regulations
are more important, yet how often is
the expectorater arrested?
If you can think of anything that
should be safeguarded more than the
public's health, trot it forth. The
victim of the most terrible contagious
diseases can spit all over the walk
without much danger of arrest. But
just let him get caught buying flask
of whisky or violating parking rules.

BACK.

international trade between nations
is steadily increasing getting back
toward normal after the wartime up
set. It's difficult to tell just how much,
on account of the almost constant
changes in foreign money values. But,
in the first six months this year, the
tonnage of exports from several lead
ing countries showed a gain over the
corresponding period of 1928, and in
imports five gained while only two
dropped.
The ploughshares, beaten from
swords, will soon be as busy as ever.

RUSSIA.

Russia's harvest of leading grain
crops this year will be about the same
as last year, claims the Soviet govern
ment in an official report. Last years
crops were sufficient for home needs
and in addition furnished considerable
for export. There'lT still be famine
districts, just as India exports wheat
and China ships out eggs during the
worst famines. There is very little pa
triotism in commerce, though a lot of
oratory about it.

While Republicans are emphasizing
more and more the Dawes of culture,
the musician and composer and phi
lanthropist, the Democrats continue
hammering away on Dawes as "hard-
boiled egg" who points his periods
with profanity, chews up pipe stems,
slams the desk when he talks and raises
Hell-an'- Maria" generally.
1t is from these two widely diverg-
ent pictures that the public at large
must make up it's estimate of Coolige's
running mate. Republicans are hope
full, however, that even the Democratic
likeness will be helpful in lining up
the votes of red-blooded, vigorous
voters, while the dilettante Dawes, the
musician and dreamer, are counted on
to win for him the ballots of the less
strenuously emphatic.
Possibly never before did the sec
ond-place men on the presidential
tickets get, by comparison, as great
part of the campaign publicity as
they are getting this year.
Just as Dawes is made the target of
the Coolidge opposition, so Bryan gets
more brickbats from the Republicans
than Dawes, and Wheeler draws the
fire of both old parties from his indie
pendent chief, LaFollette.
Calvin Coolidge College Clubs"
designed to strengthen the Republican
party through the ballots of under
graduates in institutions Of learning,
have now been established in some 500
colleges and universities, according to
John Hamlin, late Of Harvard, who has
undertaken the job of lining up stu
dent voters for the G. o. P.
An average of 500 students per col
lege, or total of 100000, have been en-
rolled to date, Hamlin says. Of this
number, however, about 100000 will

Daues And Others

Evidence is accommodating that the
storm-center of the Republican cam
paign will be Charles G. Dawes, G. O.
P. vice presidential nominee.
Dawes is destined to be painted as
a political Jekyll- Hyde, a dual per-
sonality, alternately a hard-as- nails
capitalist and disciplinarian and a
pensive, dreaming sentimentalist.
Democrats already have been able
to capitalize the "hard- boiled" Dawes,
he of "Hell-and- Maria" fame and of
strong explosives. Also, they claim to
have found definite reaction against
Dawes ever-present pipe, citing the
instance at Portland, Maine, where
Autographs of Dawes, pipe in mouth,
were withdrawn following protests by
local w. c.. T. U. leaders.
AS a result of this line of attack
on their vice presidential candidate.
Republican publicity is engaged in
presenting the other Dawes, the one
which is less spectacular and vocifer-
Gus, but which they claim issthe Dawes
that would be in the ascendant in high
office.
This Dawes is a cultured, aesthetic
gentleman, patron of the arts, him
self a musician and composer; a hui
manitarian who establishes refuge
homes where hungry, jobless men can
find shelter and warmth.
To back up this picture of Dawes,
his "Melody in A Major" perhaps his
most tuneful composition, has been
produced on photograph records and
is slated for extensive distribution.
G. o. P. headquarters cites that a
Chicago violinist, touring Europe, has
included the Dawes composition in his
repertoire and is making it the hit of
his concerts.
So impressed was President Masaryk
of Czechoslovakia with the Dawes
composition that the violinist felt
justified in sending cablegram tell
ing about it.
"Gen. Dawes composition is the
logical successor to 'Humoresque',"
Nasaryk is said to have said. "Ameri-
ca has produced in him man whose
vision is as large as your country"
Naturally, verdict like that just
couldn't be suppressed by the Repub-
lican party pubhcists!

Hamlin announces he finds "little
LaFollette sentiment" among college

The "White House" lived up to its
name on the occasion of the Prince of
Wales call for luncheon with Presi-
dent Coolidge.
Following the completion of ar
rangements for the princes visit, the
absence of the president and his
family, on vacation in Vermont, was
mansion inside and out.
The exterior, which only recently
had been given thorough recoating
of white lead. was again made i'm
maculate, while painters and decora-
tors worked night and day giving the
interior a thorough renovation and
redecoration.
The princes Washington visit, there
by, brought disappointment to thous-
ands of mentioning tourists who have
fiocked through Washington during
recent weeks.
The White House is the one place
all tourists wish to see while here.
But during this period of refurbish-
ment it has been closed to all visitors.
Not even cards from senators and con-
gressmen, which usually open the
state rooms as we'll as the downstairs
and East Room to visitors, were recog-
nized.
Fresh paint and newly polished
floors had to be protected from mar

party call.
Former Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia, who despite his SO years sur
prised the capital the other day by
marrying his 32-year- old secretary,
Miss Maize Crawford, had his Wash
ington friends fooled.
Folks close to Smith knew that he
was planning something when, about
month ago, it was understood he was
in the market for an "amanuensis."
That, they figured, means literary
work, and they doped it out that Hoke,
who as governor, cabinet member and
secretary has been on the inside" in
government affairs for many years,
meant to write a book.
But now it seems he only disguished
his search for new secretary by
naming the job that of amanuensis.
What he really was looking for. was a
new secretary to take the place of the
bride-to-be.
Although the prospect of a volume
of memoirs" by Smith is thus explod-
ed, Literary" Washington has it that
John Hays Hammond, globe trotting
mining engineer, will fill the void
thus left by bringing out volume or
two of autobiography.
Few folks could bring to such a
work as vast and varied and color
full experiences as Hammond. His adj
ventures all over the world, but par
ticularly in Africa, provide material
for a "true story" having all the
