Bulgarian Makes
Seed Increase Yield

Altos, Bulgaria = Prof. Metodi Pop
off has been called the Luther Bur-
bank of Bulgaria because of the re-
markable success he has attained in
increasing grain crops by the use of
chemically stimulated seed. In an ex-
detrimental area the wheat yield was
increased from 1880 to 312 Kilograms
and rye from 218 to 279 Kilograms. BY
using the chemically stimulated seed
the rice crop on farm was increased
from 100 Kilograms to more than AGO.
Prof. Popof explains that the slim
ulation of the seeds does not deprive
them of germinative powers and points
out that second crops have shown the
same stimulative effects. His method
has been adopted in Germany, Czecho-
slovakia and Hungary with results, it
is said, similar to those achieved in
Bulgaria.

in terrible voice, like that of a
stage tragedian.
He whipped out his gun. Several
shots slit the air. Schultz felt them
whistling past his ear, and throwing
affection and dignity to the winds,
he ran. He didn't stop running until
he got behind the door of the bathroom
in the home of John Hansis on South
Park avenue and hid there 1t was
with difficulty that he was persuaded
to come out.
Hansis Calls the Police.
Mr.. Hansis called the police depart
ment at 8:50 p. m. and informed Ser
geant Kramer who was at the desk that
H. Schultz had reported to him that
his friend had been shot and that
he himself was shot at by someone.
Assistant Chief Cyzak, Officers Tus-
Ter and Pecan went out with the am
bulance. They found Schultz, still
trembling after the unlocked for en-
counter, and Schultz told the police
that his friend Matt Meyer from the
North side had been shot.
Sergeant Kramer meanwhile at the
desk had notified Detective Bredit
and Harold Rock of the auto patrol
when they called in at Box 27. They
stepped on it for South Park avenue,
going as fast as their Nash car could.
Not finding anyone upon the scene,
living or dead or half dead on the ave-
nue. at the south, they steamed on to
the state line. Nobody home. They
called headquarters again and were
directed to come back to the police
office.
There had arrived Assistant Chief
Cyzak, Officers Tusler and Pecan and
the victim of the evenings fun, H.
Schultz. Three of the officers went
to the home of Matt Meyer, 315 North
Sheridan road, found him. safe and
sound and brought him also down to
the police office.
Both young men then admitted, ac-
cording to the police that they had
met two girls at the Eagles, arranged
to meet them early Friday evening,
and were met instead by an irate man
with revolver, believed to be the
husband of one of the girls. 4;
According to the police report, both
young men we're SO frightened that
they could hardly talk, and said "Never
again" Both had been shot at, they
said, but neither winged.
This morning friends of Meyer were
saying that the affair was practical
joke, which had been played with
Schultz as the object. The police are
anxious to know if indeed it was q

KENOSHA CLOSE
ON RACINE'S HEELS
Kenosha May Pass Racine
in Paving Mileage
i'm 1924.
CAUSE OF COMMENT

Statistics given out last week by the
Office of the city engineer of Kenosha
showing that Kenosha now has 47.O8
miles of paved streets and That TIE
total would be increased to not less
than 53.0S in 1924 has set Racine to
thinking. Kenosha according to the
statement made by Racine news
paper is close on the heels of Racine
in paving and if both cities carry out
cheir present programs for 1924, Ke-
nosha before January 1925, will have
more paved streets than Racine.
This Racine newspaper says regard
ing the situation, heading the article
'Kenosha May Beat Racine in Paw
ng': h4
"Racine's paving mileage will be
Exceeded by 30 miles by Kenosha the
coming year, if the paving program
mapped out in that city is carried
out and Racine holds to its restricted
1aving program which was inaugural
d in 1923. Kenosha, in 1923, added
zine miles of street pavement to it's
otal, increasing it to 47.03 miles. The
export of the Racine board of public
works shows that but rs of mile of
pavement was added to Racine's total,
making the present mileage 1886.
Kenosha Has More Planned.
Kenosha is planning to build six
niles of paving the coming year, con-
inuing its street improvement pro-
gram on much the same scale as that
carried out in 1923. There is a pro-
spect of further extension of the
1924 program, the administration hop
ing to add three more miles, that ac-
tion Ringing on the bids received on
the six miles of pavement which has
been decided on. If that is done its
paving program for 1924 will equal
that of 1928 and give it considerable
lead over Racine"

SEEKS MISSING
SISTER HERE
Florence Mitchell When
Last Heard from Was
in KenOsha.
GONE NINETEEN YEARS
Mrs. Alta Stahl in South Bend,
Ind, Tries to Trace Her
Sister Here.

Search in Kenosha for a sister, Flor
ence Mitchell, who was last heard from
in 1905, was commenced here today in
behalf of Mrs. Alta Stahl, 637 South
Eddy street, South Bend, Ind. Mrs.
Stahl writes that she was separated
from Florence, her only sister, when
they were both children and that she
herself is forty-four years old. and
anxious to get in touch with the SIS
ter from whom she has been separated
involuntarily so many years.
Mrs. Stahl, through the Michigan
Childrens Aid society succeeded IN
tracing her sister as far as Kenesha,
where she lived in 1905, but there the
record stops. The officials OF the
Children's Aid society wrote Mrs. Stahl
that they had never had a response
from a letter written Florence Mitchell
at that time in answer to a letter from
her.
Chief is Directir, Search.
Anyone knowing of Miss Mitchell at
the time she lived in Kenosha or of
her whereabouts prior to or after 1908
are invited to communicate with Chief
Logan who is representing Mrs. Stahl
in her quest here.
An effort was being made today to
find out in the record of marriages and
deaths whether there is any name OF
Florence Mitchell. So far the effort
has been unavailing.
The letter from the Ghildren's Aid
society to Mrs. Stahl shows that Miss
Mitchell as a child was under the SUI
pervision of the society and was placed
out in a family which she left.
Letter From Secretary.
The letter from Secretary Closson
of the Michigan society in response to
Mrs. Stahl's inquiry, reads as follows !:
''In looking up the record of your
sister, Florence Mitchell, find that
we have heard nothing from her since
1905. At that time she wrote letter
from Kenosha, Wisconsin, saying that
she had left the home where we had
placed her in 1895, and had been going
about from place to place doing house
work. She stated that she was tired
of that and wanted to know if there
were any vacancies in our home where
she might work.
"Our superintendent wrote her a
very friendly letter in reply, stating
that if she would come to st. Joseph,
he would be very glad to help her find
work, and asked her to let him know
where she had been and what she was
doing. No reply was received to that
letter. She gave her address at that
time as R. F. d. 81, Kenosha, Wiscon-
sin She SiCned her own name IF Flor
ence Mitchell (Signed) E. M. Closson

ciety, Lansing, Mich"

CREAMERY COOP
HGROWING FAST
Many Have Joined the
Wisconsin Cooperative
Association.
LIKE TOBACCO POOL

Madison. Wis-Since the organlza-
ton of the Wisconsin Cooperative
Creamery association a month ago
creameries, producing 100000 pounds
Of butter have signed contracts with
the organization, according to q sur
Fvey of the progress made by the
new cooperation.
These creameries are largely in
what has been designated under plan
of organization, district 2, composed
of Sank, Juneau and part of Colum-
bia and Vernon counties. This is the
first district in which officials of the
department of markets have been
active.
Under the plan, put in effect by the
state department of markets, the asso-
citation must sign up creamerles pro-
ducing 25,000,000 pounds of butter to
make the contracts valid and the or
ganization operative.
Woman Has Been Leader.
The leader in the organization work
has been Mrs. L. Mattson of the de-
partment of markets, who has been
instrumental in signing up those who
have already become members of the
pool.
When the cooperative plan gets
under full; swing it is thought that it
will market at least 70,000,000 pounds
of butter which will be sold under
association labels and through per-
fected sales organization. Mrs. Matt
son expects within the course of the
next few months to sign at least as
large amount in the other seven dis
tricts into which the state was divided
as were signed in district 2, making
total from these seven districts OF
$4,000, 900 pounds. ~
Creameries signing the contract
agree to sell all butter produced to the
association and in its function it will
be very similar to the tobacco pool
which has proved highly successful in
the state. The association also agrees
to take all butter produced by the
creamery and to charge for marketing,
an amount to be pro-rated by the di-
rectors but not to exceed one-half cent
per pound of butter for the cost of
grading, testing, preparing for :he
market and selling out butter in
the original form in which it is de-
livered to the association and with
out storing.
To Establish State Office.
AS soon as the required number of
creameries are signed state office for
the association will be established
where the board of directors VIII have
their headquarters. The board at
present is made up as follows: George
A. Nelson, Midtown, president; V. S.
Keppel, Holmen, vice-president Mrs.
L. Mattson, secretary, Madison; Jens
Jensen, Luck; w. Woodward, Bloomer;
Ellsworth Mckinley, Barron; R. C.
Walker, Kilbourn; Frank Holt, Elm
wood; and John Norgaard, Ettrick.
The board will also establish Soon
centration" point at either Milwaukee
or Chicago which will be the head
quarters of the sales organization.

Friday night, when most people, old
and young, were glad to have "all their
adventures by the fireside and all
their journeys from the blue bed to
the brown" after the fashion of the
Vicar of Wakefield. two young men
started out, happy as larks, on little
sally of their own.
"A youth he would a-wooing go,
Heigh-Ho. says Rowley,
Whether his mother would let him or no,
With a rowley-powley, CANNON and
spinach,
Heigh-Ho, says Anthony Rowley'
The youths were Matt Meyer, 31J
North Sheridan Road, and H. Schultz
1873 Newell street. According to the
story told later to the police, the young
men had met two charming girls at
eagles hall and arranged to meet them
about eight o'clock at trysting place
IN South Park avenue.
Why! Where Are the Girls?
They went to the spot indicated in
the agreement and no fair lasses came
to meet them. Our gallant men blew
upon their fingers and stamped their
feet, but the extreme cold did not
diminish their ardor.
"See yonder pawky shepherd
That fingers on the hill
His ewes in the fold
And his lambs are lynn still
Yet he dare-na gang to rest
For his heart is in a flame,
To WOO his bonny lassie
When the kye koom hame."
Presently there was a sound of boot
nails on the crunching sound, crunch
crunch-crunch, they came along. Not
