Flax Growing
Appeals to Farmers

Minneapolis.-In the midst of a ter
ritory now being grown in large meas
ures to flax, Minneapolis has risen to
the largest production city of linseed
oil and meal in the United States,
with the possible exception of New
York
Since September I, 1928, up to the
first of the year more than 100000
bushels of fax were unloaded at the
linseed mills here, comprising the bulk
of the last northwest crop, and from
which about 100000 tons of meal will
be manufactured, according to reliable
reports.
With University of Minnesota agri-
cultural officials pointing out to north
west farmers the attractiveness of
raising flax, with tariff protection of
40 cents a bushel, short haul to mar
ket, and consumption twice the pro-
duction, the favorable situation was
recognized and portions of the worn
out wheat lands were turned to fax
growing.
The Minneapolis production of lin
seed meal and oil results in the crush
ing of more than 100000 bushels
of seed a month.

Thirty Fires in
the New Year
Fire Department Runs Neck and Neck
with Record for the Year
1923 So Far.

There were thirty fires in the month
of January, 1928, up to the 28th of
the month. And this. record has been
exactly duplicated in this January of
1924, for the fire record at Chief
Schwartz registers again at the 80
figure.
The department was called out Sat
urday to the round house of the
Northwestern yards on Garden street.
A locomotive had gotten on fire while
an effort was being made to thaw out
frozen pipe in the engine. The dam
age was negligible.
Sunday evening at 5:57 p. m. the
fremen were called to put out fire
at the home of Howard Plue, 500 Mar
ion avenue. Chief Schwartz decided
that some one had been smoking in
bed as the fire had apparently started
in the bed-clothing. Damage to the
amout of $50 resulted.
At eight O'Clock Sunday evening a
call came from the home of James
Patterson, $50 South Pleasant street
The damage due to fire was small.

Night Traveller
Tries Wrong Door
William Rambinanskis Goes Home the
Long Way and Tries To Get In
Another House.

William Rambinanski, which isn't
mpelstitskin of the Grimm Fairy
tales, had sad time of it Saturday
night when he tried to get into an
other mans house and found himself
presently in the arms of the police.
William had had rather gay even
ing and was full of it, of his subject
that is. He lives at 16 North Pleasant
street, and started home about eight
o'clock. He safely passed all the tele-
phone poles and trees without waiting
for the procession to pass by and then
at last mounted the steps leading as he
thought to his own door. Instead how
ever it was a house on Middle street.
The householder saw no joke, but in
dignantly summoned the police when
the stranger walked in.
He was booked on charge of dis
orderly conduct; the police said he
was drunk, and this morning he was
fined IS and costs by Judge Slater.

Overseer and MatrOn
Of Poor Farm Resign
George Helm and Wife, Who for Four
Years Have Been in Charge of
Poor Farm Give Notice.

The resignation of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Helm, who for the past four
years have been overseer and matron,
respectively, of the city poor farm,
located one and one-haf miles west
of the city on the Burlington road,
today handed in their designations to
Jacob Saftig, director of outdoor re-
lief for the city. The designations
are to take effect on March 10, it
was announced.
Mr.. Saftig stated that the city now
needs a man and his wife to fill the
vacancies. Following a conference
with C. M. Osborn, city manager, it
was decided to appoint the successors
for the jobs on February Is, so that
they may have time to familiarize
themselves with the operation of the
institution before the present en-
cumbents leave. The position pays
$500 a year, in addition to all living
expenses.
Mr.. Saftig expressed appreciation of
the efficient manner in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Helm have run the farm while
they have been in command. At pres
ent, there are nine inmates to be
cared for, it was stated. The farm
consists of forty acres.

Miss Louise Ungemach is
Too Smart for Clever
Short Changers.
TRIED TRICK TWICE
Pair Failed in Clever Scheme
Both at Stevens Store and
HOlderness Delicateesen.

Quick thinking on the part of Miss
Louise Ungemach, a girl clerk at the
Stevens Service Store, at PIT Wiscon-
sin street, foiled the clever plan of
two short change artists late Thurs
day afternoon and almost resulted in
the arrest of the pair. AS a result of
the incident warning has gone out
to all merchants in the city to be on
the lookout and to aid in the arrest
of the two swindlers.
The pair had new plan and It
would have been a good one if it had
worked. Just before six O'Clock Thurs
day evening one of the two, tall man,
we'll dressed with dark gray over
coat as his distinguishing piece of
clothing, entered the store. A few
moments later a shorter man, wearing
brown overcoat and cap came in,
as if he never knew the first customer.
Try to Rattle the Clerk.
The man in the gray overcoat made
small purchase and in paying for
it discovered that he had five one
dollar bills.
could you give me five for these
five ones?' he asked.
Miss Ungemach who was waiting on
him was willing to oblige him and
handed over crisp five dollar bill
and received the roll of ones. While
she was counting them the, stranger
had a second thought.
"Might as we'll make it ten" he
said as he showed back the five and
demanded a ten dollar bill in return.
Miss Ungemach was thinking as fast
as he was. "Not much" she said. eff
you want a ten, I'll have to have an
other five"
Other Man Steps In Then.
The gray overcoated man then be-
came much enraged and began to talk
fast in an effort to convice the girl
that she should hand over ten dol
lar bill to him. At this juncture the
shorter man stepped in and also at
tempted to explain how the clerk was
wrong. Miss Ungemach stood firm,
Stevens, proprietor of the store real
lied the situation and attempted to
get the police there in time to catch
the two swindlers.
He came to the cash register where
the alteration was taking place and
the pair then becoming frightened,
quickly accepted five and hurried out
of the store together.
Investigation revealed that the same
trick had been tried at the Holderness
Delicatessen store on South street,
where it was also unsuccessful, but
where the pair had not gone so far IN
their attempts to force their point.
While the trick is not entirely new,
the trick in having two persons to
join in efforts in trying to confuse the
clerk and so befuddle her as to get an
extra FIVE dollar bill is a new angle
never tried in Kenosha before.

College Club Sends Petition to Council Urging
Immediate Action on Proposed
Dance Ordinance.
CARDS TO SHOW DANCERS HOW
Send Picture of Right and Wrong Ways to Dance,
Suggesting Copy of This be Placed in Each
Kenosha Public Dance Hall.

War on the bunny hug, cheek TO
cheek, and other forms of alleged OBJ
jectionable dancing together with the
jazz music so popular in the public
dance halls today, was renewed in
Kenosha this morning when City Man
ager c.. M Osborn received a petition
from the Kenosha College club urging
that immediate action be taken to pass
the proposed dance hall ordinance
which would establish a permit fee
for each dance, the proceeds from
which would be used to place censor
at each dance hall to see that no I'M
proper dancing is allowed. The petit
tion was signed by the civic commit
tee of the College club by Mrs. Anna
E. Maddox, chairman of the committee.
Accompanying the petition from the
College club was a picture showing
the approved methods of dancing,
which picture it was suggested would
properly be placed in every public
dance hall of the city. This picture
will be shown to the members of the
council when the dance ordinance next
comes up for consideration.
Urges These Amendments.
The College club, after a thorough
discussion of the proposed ordinance
as it now reads, suggests that the
following amendments be considered
before it is finally passed.:

proper dancing position, we would re-

hall, the chart prepared by the Ameri

JURY FIND LAD
Is NOT GUILTY.
Charles Shatkus Freed by
Circuit Court Jury on
Girls Charges.
JURY Is OUT 10 HOURS

Charles Shatkus, 16 year odd youth,
charged with a serious statutory Of
tense against year old Emma Mar
tini was found not guilty by a circuit
court jury, when a sealed verdict was
returned at 1000 a. m. today. The
jury brought in sealed verdict after
deliberations which lasted for nine
hours and fifty minutes. The case
was given to them yesterday afternoon
at 1920 when Judge E. B. Belden
finished his charge and the envelope
containing the verdict was returned
at 1880 this morning.
Shatkus, accompanied by his mother
and sister, were in court when the
verdict was read. A smile broke over
the face of the boy, who moment
later was gathered in his mothers
arms. Mrs. Victoria Martini, mother
of the girl, took the news of the ac-
quittal Of the boy whom she had
accused stoically. 1t was not until she
saw that he was permitted to walk
from the courtroom free, that she re-
allied the purport of the verdict.
For moment she gesticulated
angrily, then taking her daughter, En-
ma by the hand she left the room.
After escaping from his mothers en-
brace, the lad stepped over to where
Alfred Drury, his attorney, was stand
ing and held out his hand. Tears
sweIled up in the eyes of the boy
as he thanked the lawyer for his
escape from prison walls.
Maintains His Innocence.
From the moment of his arrest,
Shatkus has continued to maintain his
innocence. During his confinement in
jail, and all through the trial he has
stoutly denied the charge. He con-
tends, that not only is he innocent
of having committed the, crime, but
that he was never near the Martini
house.
In his closing arguments to the jury
late yesterday, Attorney Drury point
ed malice as a possible solution. He
brought out the fact that the mother
might have planned the charge as 4
revenge for Charles having accom-
panied an older son to Chicago, where
her husband is at present living.
Shatkus refused to reveal the address
of the husband after his return, it
was pointed out.

Fell From Ladder
is Badly Injured
Carl Nelson, an Electrician, Breaks
Arm in Fall While at Work /.
This Morning.

Carl Nelson, an electrician in the
employ of the Wisconsin Gas & Elec-
trio company, suffered a broken arm
and had a tooth knocked out this
morning about II o'clock when he fell
several feet from ladder while work
ing at the Scholer building on Main
street. Nelson with another workman
had started to climb into the attic Of
the building to attend to electric wiz
ing, when he lost his footing and fell
to the floor below. One arm was
broken above the wrist and several
minor bruises received. Because of
the fact that he was an electrician
word had spread through the building
that he had been electrocuted, but this
was entirely erroneous. He was hur-
ried to hospital for treatment. Mel
sons home is on Racine avenue.

HE OF THE CARP
GETS SIX MONTHS
Perry Turner, Arrested
Here, is Sentenced in
Milwaukee.
HE RAISED TENNERS

Perry Turner, with whom Secre-
tary Emil F. Meissner had an exhil-
iarating experience some months ago,
jail in Milwaukee following his con-
viction on an indictment returned by
the federal grand jury. Turner,
whose home is in Zion City, pleaded
guilty finally to the charge of raising
one-dollar bills to bogus tens. The
man said that he had turned to this
method of raising" money in order
to pay off upon an automobile which
he had purchased
Arrested Here With Carp.
Secretary Meissner arrested the
young man here on the complaint of a
southside grocer, who told the police
that a stranger had tried to pass off
bad ten-dollar bill in return for the
purchase of some sugar.
Son after the complaint was re-
ceived, the police secretary came upon
the stranger in Ford coupe on Main
street. In the Ford was a cabbage
head and a carp. Meissner insisted
upon being driver by Turner, the
stranger in charge of the coupe, to
the fish shanty where he had pur-
chased the carp. There the surprised
fshmonger, looking into his cash draw
er, pulled out the ten-dollar bill which
Turner had passed upon him, and was
amazed to find it a poorly disguised
one-dollar bill, raised to appear like
a ten-dollar bill.
The Kenosha police placed Turner
under arrest and later turned him over
to federal officers from Milwaukee.
One of the surprising elements in the
case was the discovery that Turner
was not penniless but had considerable
funds. His former employer at Zion
spoke very highly of him.

STILL is UNDER
PANTRY FLOOR
Schneeberger & Co. Find
Secret Still at SadwO
Sadiwski Home.
AND MOONSHINE ALSO

There seems to be no end Of copper
stills! The police find one every time
thew 20 out on a still hunt. They
don't have TO carry a hunting license
along either, unless it's a private home
and then they have one in the form
of a search warrant.
Over the weekend they found a
wash boiler still in the home Of John
Sadowski, 378 Orange street. They had
to 90 down a trap-door, a secret one
at that, to find the still, but they found
it.
The trap door was in the floor of the
pantry, and over it was barrel Of
-four and other groceries. But the
police showed the barrel aside and
there it was, the square door in the
floor.
Down below was a secret basement
and in it was the still. The police also
found a quart Of moonshine and ten
gallons of mash on the premises.
Mrs. Sadowski told the police that
her husband was sick, and that he had
to have moonshine or he couldn't work.
"He didn't look sick" said Sergeant
Schnee berger, "until he saw US come
up with the still, and then he looked
little pale about the gills. 1t seemed
touching that wife would go TO so
much trouble to supply booze for her
husband, secret cellar, trap-door and
all that, you know"
Sergeant Schneeberger, officer Rey-
nolds, Meurer and Riley were on the
raid. They also raided the soft drink
parlor $50 called of X. Poszkus, 500
Strong street. The bartender had his
back to the door making change at the
cash register when the police walked
in and calmly lifted a three pint
pitcher of moonshine off the box.
Poszkus was arrested on the charge
of unlawful possession.
