The matter was discussed at the
regular meeting held last night In
the club rooms.
1t was suggested that a brief resume
of why America celebrates this holt
day be printed in several languages
and distributed among the foreign
born of Kenosha. This, it was point
ed out, would be bit of real Ameri-

Thad Logan, chief of police, stated
that the trouble with the Independence
Day celebration is that America has
really lost sight of the reason for 1t.
About the first of July folks begin to
think about getting a picnic lunch
ready and where they are going for
the holiday. Moonshiners run their
stills in double shifts to prepare to
Stake the thirsts of the thirsty.
Children play politics to get as many
firecrackers as they can from their
parents. They forget the echo of the

main precaution be safety from fire
hazard. -4

WAR WIDOW POPULAR AS BRIDES.

London.-There are today 10O,UUO
fewer war-widows in the British Isles
than there were just after the armis-
tice. This is. due mostly to their
having REMARKED, though many have
died.
There are still 100000 widows on the
books of the pensions ministry, but
ing Many of these women are COM
paratively young, and a cash gratuity
which they get upon marrying again
probably makes them more attractive
to the marrying man than a single
girl without any such dowry.

KENOSHANS LOSE
AS FIRM FAILS
Kenosha County Farmers
Lose in Bankruptcy of
U. S. Sugar Co.
HAD OPERATED HERE

Thousands of dollars may be lost
to Kenosha county farmers by the
bankruptcy proceedings that are an
ticipated by the United States Sugar
company. Notice to creditors have
been sent out from the company Of
flee, 428 Grand avenue, Milwaukee,
and upon. being received here several
claims were Immediately filed by the
farmers. The factory of the company
is located at Madison and much of the
sugar beet crop that has been raised
in Kenosha county has been marketed
there. The farmers claims are based
on notes of the company that were
given in payment for the beet ship
ments. They range from 500 to as
high as $4,000. Following is the no.
tice that was sent out:
"The creditors advisory committee,
having exhausted it's efforts to aid the
company in reinancing its property
and continue in operation and to find
a purchaser for the plant at any rea-
sonable price, has determined that in
order to protect the interests of all
creditors it has become necessary to
liquidate the property of the corpora
tion through proceedings in bank
ruptcy.
Abolish Garnishee Actions.
"This course has been made imper-
alive and fastened by the commence
ment of a number of suits by different
creditors, and by the filing of attach
ments and garnishments agains: the
property and funds of the corporation.
Unless these garnishment proceedings
are set aside in bankruptcy, as the
law provides, it will result in some
creditors securing full payment of
their claims to the prejudice of all
other unsecured creditors. These
garnishment suits involve approximate
ly $4,000, and that amount of cash
now due to the United States Sugar
company has been tied up in garnish-
ment by these suits. All of these gar
nishment proceedings will be vacated
and set aside under he bankruptcy
law by the filing of petition in bank
ruptcy by the corporation.
at is the opinion of the committee,
in which opinion the holders of the
bonds and mortgages against the
property of the corporation have
agreed that petition in bankruptcy
should be Immediately filed by the cor
poration, and we have accordingly re-
quested the officers of the United
States Sugar company to file such Pc
tition in the United States court at
Madison in the western district Of
Wisconsin, where the corporation is
located"
