dairy herd have been the prime factor
in an economic evolution, which is
rapidly providing farmers with an all

Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois

economic change is the tendency
away from one crop farming which
dairying has led, and it's most inter

dairy products suffered the least of
all farm goods.

dairy products underwent smaller

BIG BOULEVARD
PLAN DISCUSSED
Edition Beach Officials
Discuss Plan for Extend
ing Boulevard.
READY TO COOPERATE

Plans for the development of a bou-
levard which will wind its way through
subdivisions to be built south of the
present limits of the city of Kenosha
and will link up with Durkee avenue
as an opening to Kenosha and with a
boulevard extending into Edition
Beach, the resort city to be built south
of Kenosha BY the Edith Rockefeller
Mccormick interests, we're made pub
lie today. Officials Of the Kren-Dato
company, who are in charge of the
Edition Beach project, were in Keno
sha today for conference with Keno
sha city officials regarding the project.
The plan for the boulevard was de-
veloped by Kenosha city officials as a
part of the city plan. The new angle
developed today is largely that it will
connect up with broad boulevard ex-
tending into the resort city to the
south.
The boulevard as planned by Keno
sha is to start at Gvandview avenue,
near the corner known as Four Cor
ners, 1t will extend in southeasterly
direction towards the lake, joining
with Durkee avenue not far from its
present terminus in the city. AS new
subdivisions are being added to the
city in this district, each is being
asked to lay out its plat with an idea
Of falling in with this boulevard move
ment. The city is accepting plats only
when this provision is met
The officials from Edithton Beach
showed willingness to co-oper rate
with the plan. They have made some
changes in the plat for that city so
that the main boulevard Of Edithton
Beach will connect with the boulevard
which is planned by Kenosha.

Postmaster General Declares That Era
of Commercial Aviation Has Ar

Washington, D. c. Achieve

New as demonstrating that CONNER
cial aviation "is an entirely feasible
thing"
One motive la instituting the trans
continental air mail service, he said,
had been to demonstrate to "men of
means" that Commercial aviation is a
possibility"
How far that had succeeded in at
tracing capital to new industry was
best shown, ne thought, by the fact
that the department recently received
10 bids for eight mail routes it pro-
poses to place in operation.
The postmaster general prefaced his
statement to the board, with an allu-

clared at is of course understood that

in any differences existing among mil

"Our activities in the air" he con-
| tinued, "havs been directed toward the
performance of an independent public
service in manner to demonstrate to

unsatisfactory experiments with the

Chicago and st. Louis, the other be-
tween Chicago and Nthe Twin Cities,
undertaken in 1920, failed to justify
their continuance and were abandoned.

much greater scale of operation and

"The service has attracted attention

After the navy department had dis
approved his plan for starting at tho

made no further protest, Captain

correspondence showed that the de-
partment was very anxious to have the
great airship visit state fairs in Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and other
western states during the first two
weeks of September Commander
Lansdowne replied that since there
would not be time to complete prepar-
atoms at Scott Field, Ill, for the re-
ception of the ship, he would suggest
that the voyage be deferred until the
second week.
The navy department disapproved Of
this plan, fixed the itinerary and Com

been suggested for July, but Com

Captain Paul Foley, the judge advo-
cate, developed that Commander Lans-

and his reasons for recommending
that the start be made in the second

MARTIN SCHMIDT
IN SWAN SONG
Auto Stop Inn Proprietor
Declares He's Through
for Good.
PAYS HIS LAST FINE
Fined $3.50 and Costs for Moon
Found Under Ice Cream
Parlor Benches.

Martin Schmidt, erstwhile pro-
prietor of the Auto Stop Inn, was in
the municipal court Tuesday after
noon, saying goodbye. Incidentally
he appeared before. Judge Slater and
pleaded guilty to the charge of I'M
lawful possession of grain alcohol,
colored diluted alcohol and red wine,
all of which were found at his place
of business less than a week ago. But
Martin Schmidt declared that it was
the very last time that his face would
be seen in court on such a charge.
Taking into consideration the fact
that Schmidt stated he was going to
leave the saloon business for good,
Judge Slater tackled smaller fine to
the costs than he would have done
otherwise, since the conviction fol-
lowed on the heels of a number of
prior convictions.
Fined $3.50 and Costs.
The fine imposed by Judge Slater
was $3.50 and costs, which Schmidt
fastened into the clerks Office to pay.
He declared himself genuinely re-
,ieved to be tout u it, Only Last
week, just the day beforSA the last
raid which netted the wine and alco-
ho1 a fine of 5000 and costs was paid
on plea of guilty entered for Ma
thilda Schmidt, wife of Martin
Schmidt, a license had been pro-
cured in her name at time when 1t
was impossible for one to be OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Schmidt himself, and
while she was the license holder but
not the active proprietor, illicit
liquor was found on the premises.
The last raid was made by state
prohibition officials aided by Police
Officers -Bauscheldt and Ambelang.
The alcohol was found concealed in
the lower panel of an old refrigerator,
and the WING beneath the patrons
seats in the ice cream parlor adjoin-
ing the Inn proper.
Martin Schmidt declared that he
had sold both ice-cream parlor and the
soft dring parlor business. He said
that he would go into some other
business not connected with the, sale
of liquor. By trade he is an expert
enced barber, but he did not indicate
that he would resume this line.
AS he departed from the stage as a
saloonkeeper character, he had as
usual a little speech to make, declar-
ing that he had had an interesting
experience, and learned that there
was bunk and humbug in the saloon
business as we'll as in, as he declared,
the prohibition law.
