KEINOSHA MAN
HAS HIGH RANK
Frank Westland Makes
Mark i'm Insurance
Field in 1923.
ONE OF THE FIRST TEN

Frank G. Westland, one of the Ke-
nosha men representing the Equitable
Life Assurance society, has just rea-
son to feel proud of the record which
he made in 1923 and which was the
subject of a commentator from Of
ficials of the company just received
by him. Mr.. Westland during the year
ranked among the ten leading men on
the entire force of the Equitable COM
pany in America. He also ranked high
among the representatives of the COM
pany in Wisconsin, being the very first
in this state.
The following account of his record
during 1928 and Of his record with the
company, since he Joined the organiza-
tion as told by high official of the
company is of interest to his many
friends in Kenosha.
Zone of the outstanding achieve
ments of the largest year in the
history of the Equitable Assurance
society, is that of Frank G. Westland,
of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Leader In State and Nation.
"Mr. Westland joined the Equitable
in the month of March, 1922, with no
previous experience in the life insur-
ance field. He closed the year of 1923,
as one of the leaders of the Wisconsin
agency, which stood fourth of all the
agencies of the society. That, in itself
was an accomplishment worthy of
special notice, but it becomes insig-
nificant in comparison with Mr.. West
lands record for 1923, at the close of
which he was not only the leader of
his district and the leader of the Wis
consin agency, but was one of the first
ten among the entire force Of Eouit-
able agents, numbering more than
5000.
"There is no secret about Mr.. West
lands success; it is due to two things:
First, his belief in the value of the
service he renders, and second, his
untiring energy and ever increasing
ambition.
Mr.. Westland is a splendid example
of the modern life underwater, be-
cause his interest in his policy holder
does not cease with the delivery of
his policy, but is continued through
out the life of the policy.
sit is given to few men to contri-
butte to the economic futAre success
of the community as Frank Westland
has done during the yeaY of 1923. and
not only is the Equitable to be con-
graduated on the fact that he is its
representative, but the-eity of Keno
sha can well be proud of the fact that
one of its citizens has achieved such
signal success in his chosen field.
The mark which he has set for him
self for the year 1924 is even more
ambitious than that of 1923 and if
We are to be guided by past results,
the Equitable and its Wisconsin
agency will again have cause for con
graduation"

BOGUS ITEMS"
PASSED HERE
Banks Here Issue Warning
Against Counterfeit

watch all ten dollar bills, and do
not accept any counterfeit ones"
This was the warning issued heSe
today by the various banks of the
city as it became known that several
merchants here he'd recently taken
in bogus ten dollar federal reserve
notes. While the couzterfeits are not
described as especially good ones.
they were not detected until the
merchants in question brought them
to the banks TO be deposited and con-
sequeEtly little trace could be found
OF the persons who passed the spur
ious bills. One of them even got past
the eagie eyes eff bank officials and
was packed away N bundle of notes
to be sent elsewhere when it was
found.
Work of Counterfeit Ring.
The bogus bills are believed to be
part of those which are alleged 90
have been made by ceunterfeiting
ring in Chicago and which were un-
leased there. 1t is even possible that
they have been in circulation here
for several weeks and have been pass
ed by persons who had no idea that
they were counterfeits.
All of the bills that have been pass
ed here are counterfeits of the fed
eral reserve issue of 1918. They bear
on the front picture of President
Jackson. The counterfeiters had not
gone to the trouble to change the
serial number on each one and all OF
those found here bore the same serial
number &c 56637764 AZ.
All of the counterfeit bills which
have been found are being taken up to
be turned over to the federal officials.
The bills on close inspection are seen
to be a very poor grade of printing
and are easily branded as eounterfeits.

BUDGET WOULD
GIVE MORE TO
INDIAN SCHOOL
Recommendation Aransmitted
To Congress Shows In
crease For Local School

The appropriation asked in Con-
gress for the maintenance and inn
provement of the bismarck Indian
according TO Washington dispatches.
This is an increase Of $3.50 for the
school. Last year the appropriation
was $4,000 for general maintenance
and $4,000 for, repairs.
Superintendent Dickinson was un-
able to say what the increased items
were for. Reconsideration will raise
salaries somewhat, he said, but would
not account for the entire increase,
which probably is for some of the
many improvements suggested for
the school.
Among the other items for North
Dakota contained in the federal bud
get transmitted to Congress by Presi-
dent Coolidge are $8l 900 from tribal
funds for Indians in North Dakota.
$4,000 for maintenance of the Will
liston, North Dakota, irrigation pro-
ject; $1,000 for the Turtle Mountain
band of Indians, North Dakota;
S6,8S0 for the Devils Lake Sioux;
$4,000 for Ft Berthold Indians.
Other Indian appropriations in-
cludc $500 for the support Of the
Chippewas Of Minnesota, $270,OO0 for
the education of the Sioux in South
Dakota, $4,000 for the Turtle Noun
tain, North Dakota, hospital, $4,000
for the Grow Creek, S. D., hospital,
and $4,000 for the Fort Peck, Mont,
hospital.

FIRE CAUSES
$4,000 DAMAGE
EARLY TODAY
Building of w. E. Perry on
Fifth Street Damaged
BY Fire From Ashes

Fire to which the fire department
was called at sos o'clock this morn
ing did considerable damage to the
stock of w. E. Perry, undertaken, 21O
Fifth street, today, and did a little
damage to the building. The damage
was not sufficient to interfere with
the conduct of Mr.. Perry's business,
as the parlors and main rooms were
not damaged, Mr.. Perry said.
The loss to the stock probably is
about $4,000 with some loss to the
building, which is owned by Mr..
Perry. The loss is covered by insur-
ance.
The fire presumably started from
hot ashes which had been placed
against the frame building, toward
the rear, Fire Chief jaeger and Mr..
Perry said. Investigation has not
disclosed who placed the ashes
against the building, as oil heaters
are used entirely in the Perry build
ing. The fire apparently seeped
through the building, caught box
in the stock room near the wall, and
burned the ceiling considerable. The
work of the fire department in
promptly controlling the blaze was
praised by Mr.. Perry.

MUTUAL AID IS
ADVOCATED BY
PRES. COOLIDGE,
Cooperation Between Busi-
ness and Agriculture Is
Held a Vital Need
APPLIES TO NATION
Cooperation Also Is Urged by
President in International
Relationships

Chicago, Dec. 4.-President Cool
idge told business men Of Chicago
today that neither business nor ma
.tions can live to themselves alone.
Speaking at a luncheon Of the Chi
cago Commercial Club, the chief
executive appealed for inclusion Of
the spirit of mutual aid in the re-
lationships between business and
agriculture and in the dealings
among nations.
"You people of commerce., you
people Of the city, are an integral
part of the life Of agriculture, Of
the life Of the country" he said.
"We can no more assure perma-
nent and stable peace without coop
Grafton among the nations than we
can secure victory in war without
allies among them," he asserted in
urging application Of the principle
OF mutual aid to international re-
lationships.
The President, in his address, the
first of two he plans to make in
Chicago, said he liked to think Of
the Illinois city as "the great mar
ket place to which the world resorts
to buy and sell its food"
"If we will but realize it, these
years Of trial and distress for the
American farmer will represent only
a time of preparation for his oppor-
tunity to secure that recognition of
his Importance, that need for eco
nomic equality, which will enable
him to render supreme service to
himself and to his fellow man." he
said.
"Betterment of the lot of the
farmers depends not on large pro-
ductivity and material prosperity
alone" he said.
"The commercial and industrial
side of our nation has been giving
too much thought to wheat, hogs
and corn, to their transportation and
to their prices, and not enough
thought to the men and women who
are engaged in agriculture, to their
welfare and their prosperity. We must
look beyond the quotations of the
market place and see what price we
are proposing TO pay, what rewards
we are proposing to exchange for
