Optimists to Hear
Story of Recreation

About ten years ago the late H. B,
Robinson, president of the Merchants
and Savings bank, said in speaking to
new councilman. "Your biggest prob
lem is to supply recreation to the peo-
pie of the city. One-third of our pop
ulation is employed in the factories
A large number work in the stores.
leisure hours?"
The park commission and council
saw the wisdom of this remark and
resolved to provide in every public
park playground facilities. A muni-
cipal golf links was established and
it's popularity has been thoroughly
demonstrated. A start was made in
the right direction. Since that time,
the city secured a park superintend-
ent and director of recreation. Supt.
Carlson has told the Optimist club
much about our fine park system.
Next Monday Director George Bick-
facts on public recreation. As a
"Friend of the Boy, the Optimist
club will learn from Mr.. Bickford
what is being done to furnish chan

out such work, the problem of the
Rotary, Kiwanis and Optimist clubs
would be much greater than what it
is. Play is as essential to the youth
as is food and clothing. The story of
recreation as it is being carried out
in the city, is of interest to every
member of the Optimist club.

LOVERS THREATS
CAUSE OF FEARS
Mystery Clouds Disappear
ance of Beldon DeMint,
Store Manager.
HAD LOVERS QUARREL
sCan't Live with Her and Can't
Live Without Her" He De-
cIares in Note to Paper.

Mystery surrounds the disappear
ance of Blendon DeMint, aged Fl,
former manager of the shoe store To-
Gated at 272 Main street, who left Ke-
nosha Saturday after quarrel with
his sweetheart, Kenosha girl, ana
who since that time has not been To-
Gated despite frantic efforts made by
his mother, Mrs. Albert Campbell, the
probation officer of Racine county, to
locate him. The only trace which has
been found of him is a letter which
he wrote to a Racine newspaper ana
which has only increased the fears
which had been held regarding him.
This letter reads as follows:
"Dear Sir: If you hear of young
man disappearing, it will be me, and
this is the whole truth in a nutshell.
81 can't live with her and l can't
live without her.
1928 D. m. Blendon DeMint."
Had Lovers Quarrel Here.
Young DeMint had been manager of
the shoe store which was recently
opened at 272 Main street in Kenosha,
coming to this city from Racine. A
report had been made to the police
here that he had left the store, hav-
ing taken what commissions he had
accruing to him, amounting to $3.50,
even though these commissions were
not technically due. 1t was thought
here that the young man would re-
turn after few days and at the sug-
gestion of the owners of the business,
the police were instructed to take no
steps to apprehend the young man.
1t was known, however, that on Sat-
urday he had had quarrel with his
sweetheart and had been very much
perturbed over this when he left the
store, making his own settlement on
what was due him.
Discount Suicide Theory.
Young DeMint had been living with
his mother in Racine while working in
Kenosha. His mother has been i'll, and
it is feared that the worry over her
sons disappearance will cause re-
lapse, which may prove fatal. If he
is still alive, it is hoped that he will
return at once and put an end to her
fears.
! CndTleS OGulHIS d OIOGuSI VI IHO
young man who has disappeared, dis
credits the suicide theory, which arose
out of the letter written to the Racine
paper on Sunday evening. He declares
that he attended the football game at
Racine with his brother on Sunday
afternoon and that the latter appear
ed to be in the best Of spirits. In
his opinion the youth had quarreled
with his sweetheart, and had decided
to leave this part of the country be-
cause of the quarrel.
The shoe store which the young
man managed has been put -!nder 9TH
err management. Those in charge de-
clared DeMint had been successful, and
that they know of no reason for his
disappearance other than the quarrel
which has been mentioned.

Despite decrease of $391,116 in
the assessment valuation total for the
city of Kenosha, caused largely, it is
said, by decreases in stock made by
factories here due to heavy state tax
law, the tax sale in Kenosha for the
year 1925 will remain at 81 mills,
The city council, at it's regular meet
ing on Monday evening, adopted the
budget presented to it by the council,
calling for total outlay of $685.
371.46 for the operation of the city
and proposed improvements for the
coming year, this including appropria-
tions to meet also the school, state
and county taxes for Kenosha. Of this
amount 1925, S56.46 is to be raised by
the general property tax, including q
tax of $4,000 against the city water
department. The remainder of the
amount will come from special sources,
permit fees, departmental earnings and
the like.
Following the adoption of the bud
get the council levied general prop
erty tax of 81 mills, this being the
same rate as the tax levy for the past
two years.
Drop in Valuation.
The work of pruning expenses so
as to keep the tax levy the same as in
previous years and at the same time
not curtail the program of develop
ment now being carried on by the city
government was made more difficult by
reason of the fact that big decrease
was found in the valuation figures,
which, of course, meant decrease in
the total amount of tax to be secured
by tax rate Of 81 mills. The person
al property valuation for 1924 was
$15,671 400; for 1925 it is $14,973, 070,
a loss of $698,390. This loss was
caused largely by the fact that the
valuation of the personal property of
several of the larger manufacturing
