WHEAT PRICES TAKE
A BIG TUMBLE
Wheat Drops Nearly Six Cents a
Bushel as Result Of Anticipa-
tions of Bumper Crop.

Chicago, Ills 80, Nearly six
cents bushel drop in price took place
in the wheat market today as a re-
suls of government reports showing a
much larger probable 1925 yield wheat
in the United States and Canada than has
recently been expected. May delivery
fell 1902 as against 1.66 1-8 to 1.66
3-8 at yesterdays finish
Exceptionally high selling developed
as soon as trading in wheat today be-
gan. Active buying quickly set in al
so, however, and the market rebound
ed about cents bushel. Subsequent
price changes were very hard.
Taken as a whole the wheat market
today opened with a general smash in
values all the way from 2 So
cents to 5 7-8 bushel. The extreme
break in price for the leading specula-
tive months, September and December,
amounted to 1-8 cents in the De-
cember delivery Surprise over the
government crop figures was all the
greater because the wheat production
for this season in the United States is
almost 100000 bushels above the
average of recent private estimates.
Owing largely to these unofficial fore
casts, the market of late hash scored
big advance in anticipation that the
government report would confirm the
estimates from private sources.

w. L. Evans, Green Bay attorney, in
an address here today before the
convention, said that the paramount
problem in Wisconsin, "is to eliminate
extravaganza and waste in public
expenditures"
The speaker Landed the economy of
President Coolidge and criticized the
administration at Madison because it
did not follow his example. He de-
clared federal expenditures were de-
creasing, while disbursements for
Wisconsin jumped from 100000 in
1919 to more than $30,0O0,00O in 1924

Referring to the recent action of
the University board of regents in
deciding not to accept donations
from incorporated endowments, the
attorney said: So
"The reason given for the regents
action was that the soul Of Wiscon-

"Who is to interpret the soul of
Wisconsin? 1 would not wish to have

some of the real tainted money in

Investigations last winter, that a GER
tain woman, prominent in administra-

indicate that her knowledge of oil
was extensive, but she made three OF
four inspections, taking two or three

one thousand dollars.
ct also developed that many Iawy-

from a few hundred to few thous-

Furnace Heated
Pasture for Cows
Waukesha Dairy Man Building Mann
moth Barn in Which Cows May
Wander AS In Pasture.

Waukesha, Wis., - Furnace
heated pasture, large enough to COM
fortably accommodate 100 cattle, is
one of the latest inovations in dairy
ing, now being planned by Howard T,
Green, owner of Brook Hill farm, near
here. The structure is to be huge
barn, in which the dairy cows wander
as they might in an open field.
Mr. Greene was faced with the prob
lem of turning high-priced pasture
land into grain crops and at the same
time providing comfort for his milk
producing cows. He solved the diff
Guilty by constructing barn 100 feet
long by so feet wide.
"Land is too high priced to provide
pasture for several hundred cows, y
Mr.. Green declared. "The barn will
have to serve as a makeshift for the
pasture and will give the cows room
to exercise. No stanchions will be
placed in the barn for 1 want the cat
tie to have the comfort of moving
around which they would not get
were they CHARTERED in stanchions.
The barn is under construction and
under present plans, it will be finished
before fall. Among its special fea-
lures is loft, which, when filled, will
hold 100 tons of hay. The walls and
floors of the structure will be insu-
lated against heat, cold, and excess
moisture with layer of sawdust
Flues provide for circulation of hot
air supplied by a furnace in an ad-
joining building. The barn will be di-
vided into four sections, each to hold
% cows
Under the proposed plan, each COW
will spend third of the day in the
roomier quarters of the exercise
barn." where formerly it would be on
pasture. Other parts of the day will
be spent in regular barn in stanch-
ions.

Insulated Home
Is Economical

1t is just as easy to build warm
home as one which can not be heated
and the cost is very little more. A
warm home in winter means cool
one in summer as the insulation. is
equally effective against the en-
trance of heat as its loss.
In building home, build for com
fort and minimum cost of mainten-
ance as you must live in it for long
period. The cost of heating a house
is not decreasing as the years go by
and the only way to beat that in
crease is to build warmer and better
homes.
The best heat stop is dead air and
it is the forming these dead air
spaces which makes valuable certain
materials called insulation.
The old method of insulation of
walls was crude, the air space be-
tween the walls being filled with live
air, a condition which gave no in
sulation value to the space. Air that
is moving and constantly changing Is
worthless as insulation.
We have today a number of fabrics
which have very high insulation
efficiency. They are made to place
between the walls and under the
spaces between the roof and the Sec
ond floor and when properly installed
give excellent results.
The greatest heat loss in home is
through the roof and 1t is at this point
which must be given the first atten-
ton. The heat loss through this
source can be reduced to almost moth
ing by the proper insulation of space
above the second floor.
Every home owner knows that the
hardest part of the house to heat is
the second story and this is caused
by the open space between the con-
ing and the roof and the current Of
cold air which is constantly passing
over the plaster and lath.
An excellent method of protecting
the heat loss through this point is to
place the insulating material between
the studs and against the plaster.
This should cost little more than 500
for large home and this cost will be
saved in fuel alone in the course of a
couple of years.

Police Early Today.

Mrs. Celia Krechczinski, 673 Elm
street, was again in court this morn
ing, with two charges against her, one
na1ning statutory offense and the
oEher charging unlawful possession OF
hcme brew. The woman has been ar

called up by telephone asking the
police to come to some restaurant or

it might be one of the occasional
calls that they receive from drunken
persons and fools. Nevertheless they
investigated the case.

HOLD UP INQUEST
PENDING SEARCH
Coroner Adjourns Inquest
While New Motive is
Seen in Mystery.
SEEK JEALOUS WOMAN
Tip Is Uncovered Telling of
Threats Dead Woman
Received Here.

Inst as the scene was set for an IN
ouest into the death of -drs. Paullna
Ripinski, who was mysteriously killed
IN the night Of July 8, Coroner JOS
eph Friend dismissed the coroners
Jury for the afternoon and declared
that the inquest had been adjourned
until Sept. 10. The coroner declared
that he had just uncovered additional
information of the utmost Importance
in tracing the identity Of the person
or persons behind the gun whose bull
let killed Mrs. Ripinski.
II have just learned he said on
FRIDAY afternoon, chat there is pos
sibility that jealousy was at the bot
tom of the shooting, and we have sew
eral angles to work upon which would
bring out some valuable evidence hing
ing on the motive"
Coroner Friend will take up these
new angles, he said, together with
Lieut.. Charles Rock of the police de-
tective squad, and they will begin to
question several people at once, who
heretofore have not been connected
with the case.
Hear of Threats.
The investigation which had begun
1ust before the inquest was to start
led through tangle of vague infer
ences, all of which have been given
due consideration by the authorities
working on the case. According to
the coroner, he has information that
someone had made yelled threats upon
the life of Mrs. Ripinski several weeks
before the fatal shot was fired, and to-
day that source is being questioned.
The coroner refused to divulge any
information which might lead to the
identity of this party, other than to
saw that the person was a Kenoshan.
The district attorneys office has al
ready placed itself at the service Of
the coroner with the offer of coopera-
tion in prosecuting any man or woman
against whom the finger of suspicion
Is placed in connection with the death
Of the woman.
But in spite of the new information
dug up by the coroner Friday, addi-
tional knowledge of another kind which
was to have been brought out in the
inquest on Friday afternoon still ex-
lists. Here Kenosha man was to have
been questioned regarding several
phases of the case which had pointed
to him.
Won't Give His Name, Either.
The authorities likewise refused 70
give out this mans name, declaring
that it would be unreasonable to at
tach any suspicion definitely upon any
one unless that information should
come in open court at the inquest. 1t
was learned from other sources today
that this man had been held for ques-
tioning in the early investigation into
the death of Mrs. Ripinski, but that
he had been released following his in
sistant denials that he had anything
TO do with the death.
The coroner declared today that as
soon as any definite information could
be secured it would be given out, and
if present clues lead to something
tangible it may be possible that the
coroner's inquest into The death of
the woman may be called for an ear
lier date than Sept. 10.

OPEN ANOTHER
FARM MARKET
Additional Space Provided
for Farm Market on
Garden Street.
NOW HERE EVERY DAY

Announcement was made today from
the office of the city sealer of weights
and measures that third public mar
ket would be open on Monday morning
on Garden street between Ridge street
and Rowland avenue, on the edge of
Columbus park for the convenience of
people of that section, and for the
purpose of providing an additional
market for the farm produce of the
farmers who come to Kenosha each
day to dispose of vegetables and fruits
grown on their farms in Kenosha
county.
There are already two other markets
located at the corner of Dayton and
Pleasant street on the grounds of the
vocational school and at the corner of
Exchange and Wisconsin streets, res
pectively.
Revise Schedule of Days.
A new schedule has been drawn up
by Felix C. Mayer, city sealer, which
makes every weekday a market day
at at least one of the markets. The
revised schedule is as follows: Mon
day and Thursday on Garden street;
Tuesday and Friday on the vocation
al school grounds; Wednesday and
Saturday at Exchange and Wisconsin
streets. This arrangement provides
a market day for practically everyone
in the city on every day in the week.
That the public markets are assum-
ing tremendous proportions of inter
est on the part of the Kenosha people
who attend them each day to purchase
the fresh vegetables and greens offered
blythe farmers, is indicated by the fig
ures kept by Supervisor Mayer. Dur
ing the year 1928, the value of produce
sold in Kenosha reached the total of
$81, 900, with a total of 2,025 loads
brought to Kenosha from the county.
Set Record This Year.
In 1924 the figures slumped to 1900
loads valued at $4,000. But in 1925,
with the season just started on July
1, there is every indication that the
record of 1923 will be greatly exceed
ed. There has been sold thus far ap-
proximately $4,000 worth of produce
and the heavy season is yet to come.
"The 1925 garden season." according
to Mayer, twill be better than usual
and the farmers are taking advantage
of the heavy crops by trying to sell
them at the markets which the city
provides for them in Kenosha. At the
present time the loads are not as
heavy as they will be in a few days.
Cucumbers of all sizes are beginning
to come in, together with gold bantam
corn and tomatoes. There is always
something for every housewife at
every market and the prices are most
reasonable"
The supervisor checks the weights
and measures at each public market
daily and an assessment is made upon
each farmer Of $500 per month for
the stalls on each grounds. This takes
care of the cleaning and other prep
arations before and after the wagons
gather.
