Grant Extension of
Exemption Period
Home Owners Have Remainder OF
Week to File Claim for $500 Tax
Exemption at City Hall.

Home owners who found themselves
unable to appear at the city hall dur
ing the past two months and swear to
afidavits Of home ownership which
allow them the $500 exemption grant
ed by the state, were given until the
last of the week to swear to the re-
quired affidavit, it was announced to-
day by John w. Stevens, city assessor.
Records at the Office of the city as
SCISSOR on the second floor Of the city
hall show that there yet remain about
1900 persons who are entitled to the
exemption who lave not as yet filed
for the $15 tax saving.
In connection with the announce
ment of the extension OF the time for
the filing of the claim, City Manager
C. M. Osborn also made the following
announcement regarding the homestead
exemptions:
"The city of Kenosha is not in
creasing assessment values to care for
this exemption. The only increases
which the assessor is making is where
the street or property has been i'm
proved or where values in the vicinity
have raised perceptibly since the last
assessment period. The city is try
ing to live within the spirit of the ex-
emption law and consequently it will
have approximately 100000 less for ex-
penditures than it would have had If
the law had not been passed"
The exemption represents a saving
of SIS to every homestead owner who
files claim.

Madison. surveys in Sheboy-

pleted this season, according to w. j.
Geib of the Wisconsin cooperative
soil survey. Scientific examination of
soils have been made by the survey
in several districts of the state and
plans are to examine the soil in
practically every section in the course
of time.
an making the inventory of the soil,
the field men go over the land at in
tervals of every quarter MILE" Geib
said explaining the process. They
carefully examine the soil with three
foot auger and determine its quality.
The surveyors then map the soil dis
tribution.
"Soil samples are collected and sent
to Madison where they are examined
chemically and physically, and analy-
ses are made to determine the amount
of the various plant food elements
which each soil contains. AS the field
work progresses studies are made of
the methods of farming on each kind
of land, the crops being grown, meth
DDS of fertilization, cultivation and
crop yields.
"When the field work is finished and
the analyses made, a report is pre-
pared fully describing each soil, and
suggesting means through which the
various souls can be improved"

white haired old lady in Stockholm,
who may be seen any day sitting in
an avalanche of newspapers, with

map of the projected route on the

come to her home as soon as they
are off the press, and she scans the
cable columns for every scrap of news
Of the airmen and the progress of
their undertaking. At times. her eyes
grow big with apprehension, but more
often they sparkle with vivid satisfac-

Wisconsin Lakes
Belong to All

Now that the summer season is in
full swing, the question again arises
who may use the lake shores.
Private owners have no lawful right
to obstruct the lakes of Wisconsin
from use by the public through con-
struction of fences across pathways or
by any other means that would keep
the waters out of public use, the at
torney-general of the state has held in
an opinion to the conservation commits
sion. The stand of the attorney-gen-
eral opens all of the lakes of the state
to any persons who. care to make use
of Them, without permitting private
owners of abutting land from exclud-
ing them. Itspoints out that the shores
of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
are included within this Interpretation.
'"The rights Of the public In naviga-
Bile waters of the state and on the
shores of lakes, the beds of which are
owned by the state, below the high
water mark are paramount to the pri-
vate rights of owners of abuttlng
lands" the opinion states.
1t is important Lnat THESE EiSnbS OC
maintained. The principle Of state own
ership of our lakes and the beds there
of to the high-water mark would be
meaningless and impotent if the use
and enjoyment of the public water
could be monopolized by owners simply
by permitting them to exclude the pub
lie from access thereto, in denying the
public its right to use Of the shore
below the high-water mark.
"The state Of Wisconsin Is not prop
agating and protecting fish at public
expense for the benefit of the favored
few who may own the lands abutting
upon public waters. The property own
er has no right to prevent any person
from entering to any lake, or to ex-
cMde people from any part Of lake"
This opinion is said by the attorney
general to be in conflict with the COM
mon notion of private owners of lands
about lakes. 1t is broad in its scope
and will mean the opening Of hundreds
of lakes now excluded from the public,
to their use.

URGES CHURCH ADOPT
RECREATIONAL WORK
Speakers at Madison Conference See
Need of Putting Pep Into
Church Work.

Madison.-The way to reach the
youth of the nation, and particularly
of rural communities, in church work,
is through recreational activities, in
GLIDING athletic events, games and
contests, Prof. F. E. Schlatter of the
University Of Wisconsin declared to-
day, speaking before the National In
ter Church conference here.
Ministers from practically every
state attending the conference turn
ed aside deeper church subjects today
and gave attention to lighter topics
Of physical education and recreation
in rural communities.
"A minister can do the most good
for his church community of the pull
pitt" Prof. Schlatter said. "If every
body could be convinced from the
pulpit, there would be no need for
jails and courts. A live minister is
one who can throw off the veneer of
his position and be chum to his con-
gregation. He can best get hold Of
boys and girls, particularly in rural
communities, by games and physical
education"
Prof. Schlatter urged ministers to
be the leaders Of their commUn ties in
recreational and athletic events He
said the minister should be one CT the
most ardent participants in games
aid contests.

The federal tax on long distance
