VOTE FOR THIS AMENDMENT.

The submission of constitutional amend
ments by the state at national elections is not
q good practice At this time people are so
concerned with national problems and state
political fights, that usually they do not pay
much attention to great economic reforms pro-
vided for in amendments to the constitution.
This year there is one amendment submitted
which should elicit the careful thought of the
voters and it should not be forgotten in the
excitement of political war. It's the amend
ment providing for definite Representation
policy for Wisconsin.
The amendment is fundamentally sound 1t
does not provide for the appropriation of a
single dollar but it does open the way for an
intelligent consideration of one of the great
problems Of Wisconsin and the nation. It is
the most forward looking amendment that has
been offered to the Wisconsin constitution in
many years Some people may not think that
Kenosha is interested in the REPRESENTATION of
Wisconsin, but Kenosha of the future is des-
Iperately interested Every citizen Of Kenosha
and every farmer in Kenosha county is going
to reap benefit from the carrying out of the
things proposed in this amendment
We have been cutting down our own forests
without any recognition Of the debt we owe
to the future. We have lost the chance to buy
cheap lumber from our own state, and the cut
ting down of the forests without making any
provision for other forests has increased the
cost of lumber going to every house in Kenosha
end into every barn in Kenosha county.
The amendment provides for an intelligent
survey of conditions and an intelligent pro-
gram of remedying them. 1t is going to pro-
vide state program for the perpetuation of
the forests It means more than any project
for great state park or any other great state
ir1p rOUQnonn That POu1d ha roodo
Voting for this amendment is debt that
every citizen owes to his children and his chill
drens children. For our own benefit we have
ruthlessly destroyed the forests, and for the
benefit Of posterity we should make tardy re-
tribution and at least pave the way for intelli-
gent consideration of the future of the state.
The man who is honest with himself and his
children will vote Yes for this amendment.
The other fellows-the ones who are selfish
and don't care what happens in the future will
either vote mo" or take no interest in the
amendment.

sioner, would contribute much to public safety.
There are three bad spots on the lake shore
road north of Kenosha which should be I'M
proved One of them is the turn of the road
just north of ST. GATHERINGS hospital. This
jog in the road should be widened out in order
to insure safety At the cemetery corner just
in front of the McWhyte factory, land should
be secured and this turn widened out SO that
it would offer curve at least forty feet wide,
and at the junction of the Birch road and the
North Sheridan road similar treatment
should be given the roadway
All of these places have been dangerous
spots on this road for too long time, and
a progressive county like Kenosha county
should do something to eliminate them
IF the members of the highway committee
of the county board will just take a little trip
down on the Telegraph road they will find
how easy it is to make bad turns congested
turns-safe. There the engineers have made
a study of conditions and needs and have met
them in an admirable manner. The roadways
hive been Widened out to maybe fifty or sixty
feet, and lanes have been arranged to take
care of traffic. It is declared that not a single
accident has taken place at these turns since
the improvements were made. The equivalent
Of half mile of pavement would go long
ways toward safeguarding these dangerous
places in these Kenosha county roads. Money
should be available to make these repairs from
the money received by the county from auto
mobile fees. If there is not sufficient money
to provide for paving these curves in the pro-
per manner, it. certainly would be possible to
find the money to improve them with crushed
stone and gravel until such time as the coun-
ty feels able and-rich enough to make perma-
ment job of it.
Proper protection of the lives of the people
dictates that this work should be done with
the minimum of delay.

DESTROY FEAR.

"Don't do this and don't do that"
were admonitions of the mothers OF
Anyhow, as we'll as of any other part
of the world.
1t is quite natural that a mother
should warn child against various
dangers, but to put definite fear into
the heart of the child is something
quite different.
The proper procedure is to explain
carefully the conditions of a thing
which a child needs to fear-whether
it be automobiles or disease. And it
should be a sense of caution rather
than of fear that is implanted.
The offices of nerve specialists are
crowded with cases Of "fear neu-
rosis." These are people with name

quently found that nameless fears
were implanted in them for years.
Teaching of caution is instructive.
1t is to be found in the lower AMI
mails, but the parent should be most
careful not to confuse it with fear.
For fears are terrible things and lead
to depression and general unfitness
for employment.
Don't brighten the children with

Don't brighten them with fears and

Instruct them, and there will be no
need for threats and fears.

SOME WINTER ROAD WORK.

The highway program for Kenosha county
is pretty well cleaned up for the opening of
winter, but in the Indian summer days which
are always promised to this section of the
country, it might be an excellent plan for the
highway engineers and builders to give some
attention to safeguarding roads already built
rather than to see to inaugurate new projects.
In these weeks of Indian summer, it would
be an excellent time to widen out some of these
curves on the lake shore road and make it less
of a menace to the travelling public. A few
thousands Of dollars intelligently expended
under the direction Of the highway commits

How To Do It!

Try the first puzzle, printed herewith.
Starting at the upper right corner,
you will note that there are three
white squares on the horizontal line.
The definition for / (the number in
the square where the first letter will
fall) horizontal, is: whence a golfer
lams the pill" Little or no thought
suggests "tee." Correct! There are
three white squares in the vertical line.
The definition for vertical is Gone
more than nine" Easy, when you know
that it must BEGIN with at" and that
it has three letters! Ten! Of course!
Now try 10 horizontal. When you
have that, it will help give you tho
first two letters of vertical,
Do not be discouraged if you can't
solve the problem from beginning to
end Skip around, and then go back.
Remember that each horizontal word
solved will give you few letters for
your vertical words. And each YER
teal word solved will give you LETT
ters for your horizontal words.

Crossword puzzle solving is the lat
est fad. If you have ever solved puz-
zles, you like crosswords. If you've
never solved puzzles, you'll like cross
words.
It's game that's educational, yet
it can be enjoyed by the first grader
as well as the erudite professor. Once
you've started, it's hard to stop. The
puzzles are fascinating and challeng-
ing.
Here's how they are solved:
Each white square is to be filled
in with letter. When filled out, the
letters form words that can be read
either vertically or horizontally.
To find out what the letters are, first
find the words.
Each word is defined. The numbers
indicate where the first letter falls.
You can determine the number Of let
tiers in each word by the number if
squares from the first letter to the
next black square to the right or be-
low, or to the edge of the puzzle. Each
letter occupies one square.

1t costs little over 10 cents mile
to own and operate a passenger auto.

All indications point to existence of

Despite the terrific cold on Mars, at
least two forms of earth life could
exist there. One is evergreen" vege-
tation The other is the salmon trout,
which always lives in water at tenn

Furthermore, nature adapts all life
to fit it's environment. Or life adapts
itself, if you prefer. Vanity suggests
otherwise, but there may be special
forms of life on Mars that couldn't
exist under similar conditions on earth.

Columbus

The life of Christopher Columbus
is story of faith.
1t is a beautiful story, as history
recites, because it is filled with trust
of men and brave confidence in self.
Perhaps faith came easily to Column
bus because he was deeply religious by
nature.
But it was a gift that served him
in good stead.
1t handed down his name to poster
ity as discoverer Of the New World.
Lasting Faith.
Faith at the outset enabled him to
brave the wise men Of his time and
tell them that the world was round
when they believed it fiat.
Faith it was that girded him with
fortitude when twice on the outward
voyage mutinous and terrified crew
made ready to cast him overheard.
Land had not been sighted and the
sailors grew afraid.
They had been taught that on the
edg of the horizon was a precipice
and that any ship venturing near the
edge would plunge off into limitless
space. s
SCllle0 reaTS.
Through his faith, Columbus stilled
their fears. He changed his course to
soothe them and on the morning of
Oct. IL, 1892, the island of San Saliva
dor hove in view.
Columbus was born a poor boy in
the city of Genoa, Italy, some time
between Aug. 26, 1451, and Oct. 81, of
the same year. Confused accounts
have made the exact date uncertain.
His fathers name was Domenico
Colombo, who was a weaver by trade.
And the maiden name of his mother
was Susanna Fontanarosa.
Up until 1472 Columbus followed
in the business of his forebear.
He had neither university instruc-
tion nor was he at any time a nayi-
gator during his youth.
Family of Artisans.
All of the family we're artisans.
Columbus came into the world with
nothing but strong, clean body,
honest parents and his faith.
He is last heard of as having per-
manent residence in Italy on Aug. Z,
1473. Followed several trips in mer-
chantmen to England and once almost
to Iceland.
During 1477-78 he was engaged in
commerce in Lisbon and in 1479 mar
ried one Felipa Moniz Perestrello of
the same city, who bore him a son
whom he called Diego.
All the while he was working on
his new theory of round world and
lands undreamed of beyond the setting
sun. "
