Miss Campbell and Mrs.

BIRDS ARE FLOWN
Two Girls, Helen MOntetOn and
Esther Drake Just Walk
Through Door Out.

Every inside has an outside as the
philosopher in the Crock of Gold
expounded to the world, and two girls
who were staying in the detention
home at the corner of Market and
Congress streets, decided that that
was true saying. They were inside
and the outside was outside, and the
only thing that kept them on the inside
from the outside which was outside,
was a street door. They just naturally
walked through.
And that is why when Miss Sybil

Beulah Mcneil, policewoman, arrived

cost about $4,000 each, and the rents
will pay for them in about seven years.
Each will be held in trust for the first
three years while, the owner works
with me and learns how to manage
the building.
81 wouldn't insult these fellows by
Offering them a gift. Most young men,
anyway, if they got $4,000 in lump,
wouldn't know what to do with it.
But they will know how to manage
this property when they get it.

dances, when it looked as if the tango
and jazz had me beaten, these boys
gave me their savings. l got it all
without request and without the
scratch of a pen. Their loyalty and
hard work won the battle. A reward,
yes. But this property will make
them better citizens and better en-
ployes."

More Interest in
Cow Testing Shown

Fredonia, Wis.-An average of two
and one-half cow testing associations
in every county in the state is the
goal which has been set by state test
ing officials. During the past year,
26 new associations have been added
to the 127 which existed in 1922 and
executives express belief that this
record can be duplicated during 1924.
The principle way COW testers have
been of assistance to dairy farmers,
according to officials, has been thru
encouraging the feeding of well bal
anced rations.

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR NEW P.O.
Government Architect Is
Here to Go Over New
POstOffice Plan.
BIG STEP FORWARD

Kenosha's hopes for the building
of a new post Office in the compare
lively near future, doomed up brighter
today when A. A Packard, SUPERVISE
ing architect for the post Office depart
mentv for the entire midwest district,
came to Kenosha to confer with Of
ficials here regarding the plans for the
new building. This is the first result of
the passing by the House of Repre-
sentatives early this week of the
Cooper resolution calling for the TAX
ing of steps by the government to
secure the site proposed for the new
Kenosha Post Office in keeping with
the civic center project now being
developed here.
Mr.. Packard wired Postmaster Cor
man Thursday afternoon asking him
to arrange conference with city
officials today. This conference was
held this morning in the office of the
city manager, city officials and Post
master German meeting with the fed
eral official.
Ready With Complete Plans.
City Manager Osborn had equipped
u1IHSGlI Will q SOlIp lCGS SSO VI dAo
ings and photographs demonstrating
how far Kenosha has gone in the de-
velopment of the civic center project
and how the new proposed post of
flee would sit in with the plans. These
were being compared with the
needs of the postal service here as
mapped out by the post Office depart
ment and it seemed most probable
that there would be no serious objec-
ton to the project launched by the
government.
The city stands ready and has here
tofore offered to do its, 1art in bring
ing about the exchang. of land for
the deal inasmuch as lie site occup-
led by the present post Office would be
taken up by the proposed widening of
Market street to make the court 20
extend between the public buildings.
The conference also included a per-
sonal tour over the district included
in the civic centeg plan with special
attention to the site proposed for the
new post office.
Visit Has Significance.
The visit of the supervising archi-
tect to Kenosha was taken to have a
significant meaning by those in Ke-
nosha who are pushing the new post
office here, which is so badly needed
because of the crowded quarters in the
old post Office building. 1t was point
ed out that the visit showed that the
United States government was moving
fast in carrying out the various steps
needed for erecting new post office
here in as quick time as the govern
ment regulations allow.

MOTOR SWEEPER
PAID FOR ITSELF
Kenosha's Street Sweeper
Saved City Money Dur
ing Past Year.
REPORT FOR YEAR

It was a blessing in disguise II
April 1928 when the city found u
self unable to secure laborers TO az
the work of street cleaning IN TINS
CITY. Because of this situation the
CITY purchased a motor street sweeper
and the report of Peter j. Hurtgen
director of public works, which ha:
lust been filed with the city manager
shows that the sweeper has perform
ed the work formerly done by th'
street cleaners and has done II at
saving of $2O,073.62.
This has worked to the advantage
of all, for the workers employed or
the streets were given employment i.
other branches of the city work.
Report Shows Saving.
The report of Director Hurtgen ex
plains what has happened. It reads
"The motor sweeper has saved the
city considerable money and as re-
suit of it's operations city streets are
cleaner than they were under the ole
hand system. This is evidenced by the
fact that the, department has hat
fewer complaints because of dirty
streets this year than we had IN
previous years.
Under the system of hand cleaning
the records show that it required one
man for each Ia miles of pavement
During the year 1923. it would have
required therefore "a, sweepers to
cover the AZ miles (average for year.
of pavement This work was done by
II. ho1I
sweepers operating in the down town
busy streets, also the paved alleys and
such other business sections in which
it was not practical to operate the
sweeper"
Here Are the Figures.
1t follows therefore that the motor
sweeper does the work of 81 hand
sweepers. If the sweeping were done
by hand, we would require three trucks
for pick up work, while only one is
needed to follow the motor sweeper
