Vacation for Cows
as Well as Music?

Merrill, Nis.-Vacations for cows
are the latest wrinkle in Wisconsin's
bovine raising and dairying industry,
according to Prof. o. E. Reed of the
Radio Farm School of the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute.
"a cow" he declares, SHOULD have
a vacation on full feed every year.
Instead Of being turned into the back
pasture or the stalk field to rustic for
herself, she should receive q balanc-
ed ration including legume hays or
pasture, just as she had to have to
produce the maximum flow of milk
when fresh"
Professor Reed, who is widely
travelled and thoroughly experienced
dairyman at the head of the dairy de-
partment of the Michigan agricultural
college, is convinced that good. strong
calves can be raised only from cows
who have proper care and feed and
are given a rest from producing milk
each year.

ROBERTS WORKED
IN CASE HERE
Medium Sought as Witness
In Milwaukee Trial
Worked Here.
HAD IMPORTANT PART

Added interest was brought to Ke-
nosha in the sensational trial now be-
ing held in Milwaukee in which John
B. Davenport is being tried on the
charge of robbing bank there, when
it was learned that Arthur Price Rob-
erts, the Milwaukee medium who is
being sought as material witness in
the case, also spent some time in Ke-
nosha and is we'll known here. 1t is
recalled that when the fruit boat For
ellie went down off of the Kenosha
harbor two years ago Roberts was
brought to Kenosha in the hope that
his widely-heralded mediumistic pow
ers might lead to some clue as to the
whereabouts of the Forelle. Roberts
was instrumental in the work of at
tempting a rescue of the ship, and his
efforts here gave him wide publicity
throughout the state. He has since
that time given tips on other cases
that have turned out to be valuable
ones.
In the Milwaukee case the defense
in the bank robbery trial claims that
the officials of the bank went to Rob
erts for advice following the holdup
and that it was through his impress
sions that the Identification of Daven-
port as one of the bandit gang was
brought about. The medium is being
sought as a witness for the purpose
of breaking down the states case, but
he has absented himself from Milwau-
kee, it is claimed.

JURY ACQUITS
WARREN KINNE
Jury Says ''Not Guilty" in
Driving While IntOxi-
Gated Case.
TAKES TWO HOURS

The jury in the case of the state
ing an automobile while intoxicated,
deliberated two hours on the case
Friday afternoon, and finally just be-
fore five o'clock brought in a verdict
of mot guilty" In the middle of the
afternoon, the jury sent word to the
judge through the bailiff that they
disagreed and could not arrive at a
verdict.
LET them stay together until they
agree said Judge Slater. II have lots
of time. They are getting one dollar a
day; what more do they want"
Finally the jury did "agree."
Ends Bitterly Fought Case.
The case is one which has been
pending ever since Kinne's arrest
February &c, 1925, on the charge of
drunk driving. Kline maintained that
he had had two glasses only of wine
on the evening in question and that
he was not drunk. His friends who
were with him sustained that testi-
mony. Four police officers testified
that he was intoxicated.
Assistant District Attorney Barnett
made an impassioned plea for the
conviction of the defendant, dwelling
on the tragedies that have happened
in the past through the driving of a
car by a man under the influence of
liquor, and asking that Kline be
made an example.
Roy S. Stephenson, argueing to the
jury as counsel for the defense made
as vigorous an appeal for acquital,
maintaining that the combined testi-
mony of the defense witnesses es-
tabhshed the fact that Kline was in
a sober condition and able to handle
a car in a careful manner.

BETTER OUTLOOK
FOR CROPS NOW
Wisconsin Crops Wintered
Well, Says U. S. Report
on Conditions.
WHEAT IS SUFFERING

A favorable season for spring work,
winter damage to rye and wheat,
winter-killing of old seedlings of al
falfa in eastern Wisconsin, and an
improved feeling among farmers of
the state, are reported in the May
survey of the Crop and Livestock Re-
porting service at Madison.
h The review states that due to dry
weather spring work was started full
" two weeks earlier than usual. seed
ing was finished at an early date, and
seasonal work is we'll along. Although
unusually dry this spring, there was
very helpful rainfall all over the
state just after seeding was finished.
Pastures greened up early but are too
short to provide any amount of feed
up to this time.
New seedlings of clover have winter
killed here and there, but this is not
general situation. In most of the
state, new seedlings of alfalfa have
come through the winter in good
shape, but in eastern Wisconsin old
seedlings have winter-killed to a con-
siderable extent and in a few coun-

Dodge, Washington and Ozaukee-
large acreage will be plowed. Lack
of rain this spring probably kept many
fields from recovering from damage
caused by exposure to severe winter
weather. Heavy seedlings of alfalfa
last spring will more than Offset the
loss in acreage of old seedlings that
winter-killed.
Rye and Wheat Suffer Winter
Damage.
Winter damage to rye and winter
wheat is general this year, and in the
central Wisconsin rye region stands
are thin and spotted. Farmers re-
port the condition of rye on May 1
as SO per cent of normal, which com
pares with SO per cent last year and
an average on May 1 of 90 per cent.
The acreage for harvest is estimated
to be 900 acres or IS per cent of
last year.
Twenty-Five per cent of the winter
wheat acreage winter7kil I'd. Three
or four per cent is usual but only
once during the past 13 years has
there been such high per cent. The
acreage in Wisconsin has been getting
less and less each year and this years
acreage of $1,000 is the lowest on
record. The 1925 acreage of both
spring and winter wheat will prob
ably not exceed 100000 acres-a strik-
ing contrast to 100000 acres back
in 1876 when Wisconsin was a leading
wheat-gr owing state.
A Better Outlook This Spring.
Sentiment among farmers of the
state is noticeably better than a year
ago. High grain prices have influence
e. dairymen to feed sparingly causing
butter and cheese production to run
lower than last season. Storage stocks
have been cut down to levels that do
not menace prices. Butter and cheese
prices are holding at a substantially
higher level than year ago. Hog
prices are at high levels and promise
to be good for at least this spring
crop of pigs. The crop season has an
early start. Early pastures will cut
down feed costs, and in southern Wis
consin considerable old hay will be
carried over for next winter.

SALVATION ARMY
DOES BIG WORK
Community Chest Support
Makes Possible Great
Work With Many.
HELPING THE YOUNG

One may be down, but he's never
out. With that as one of the UNDER
lying principles of its working phi
losophy, the Salvation Army is filling
a real need in Kenosha. Organized
as one of the most efficient corps in
the lake division, and recognized as
one of the most progressive in its
work, the army corps has taken lead
ing part in relief work among unfor-
tunate people with which it comes in
contact.
Under the leadership of Field Ma
iors Thomas and Florence B. William
son, officers in command of the Saliva
tion Army here, the work of the corps
has flourished to a point where it has
demanded extended quarters and the
present building which is being com
pleted on Church street between Wis
consin and South streets is aimed to
meet that demand.
Willing To Help All.
The army is undenominational. 1t
does it's work among all classes
creeds, and religions. Army workers
are available for relief work in the
field night and day and they each give
a great deal of time and effort in
helping others where help is needed
Meetings are held nightly for the gen
eral public and these are largely at
tended. Sunday school classes are
held each week for children, and
these are given special tutoring in
music. One Of the features of the
work Of the local corps is its Saliva
ton Army band on which young and
old hold positions.
The corps leads a class of over soc
boys and girls In the city of Kenosha
who are given instruction in the care
Of body and soul, and who are offered
direction to the path which makes
for a proper foundation for good
and useful life.
Hundreds Given Aid.
A record of some of the work done
recently by the corps workers enum-
crates 1920 hours Of visitation by
some member Of the corps to some
one in need of counsel or aid. Army
leaders advised and prayed with l.
1877 persons; rendered material aid to
2,296 persons; found employment fol-
IS; sent to social institutions 10; or
dered hospital attention for three
persons who could not otherwise have
provided this care; sent eighty-foul
mothers and their families to the an
nual summer camp Of the Salvation
Army at Center Lake for one week
free of all charge to them, register
ed over 70 conversions; and did many
other things.
All of this work could not be done
effectively only with the free will Of
ferings of the many people who dror
their little contributions in the tam
bourines Of the army lessie. 1t is
through the wholehearted support OF
the Community Chest association IN
Kenosha that most of this work Is
made possible. And it is TO this Com.
munity Chest that Kenoshans are be-
ing asked to pledge bit out of each
paycheck. The drive is ending today
but the work will go on. The word
has gone out to all those who have
not yet been approached by field work
ers for the Community Chest and who
wish to be placed on the pledge list
with their contribution, to get In
touch with the Office of the Chest
Association in the Schwartz building
where eager and grateful attention
will be paid to their desire.
