CONSTABLES NAB
MONEY MACHINES
Find Seven Machines OPP
Grating Openly in Re-
sorts in County.
MONEY OR NOTHING
Slot Machines Nabbed Were All
of Class Where Player Gets
Money or Nothing.

Three county constables went out
raiding on their own hook on Friday
evening and as result seven slot
machines were resting today in the
county Jail building and six resort
owners in Kenosha county were
facing charges of operating gambling
machines.
The constables who made the round
up were Constables Lee Benedict and
Ward Bryant Of Bristol and Constable
George Higgins Of Wilmot, who were
on hand at court today to press the
charges against the six who are al
legged to have had the slot machines
in their possession. All of the slot
machines were of the. quarter varie-
tyr; they were strictly money ma
chimes, paying in quarters to the
players and not having any sort of
merchandise to sell. They are the
same kind of slot machines which
were in vogue in Kenosha county
prior to the days of the famous
grand jury cleanup.
Two In One Place.
The constables found two of these
machines in the Herman Buck place
at Powers lake, both of them ready
to be operated by any customers who
desired to play them. One slot ma
chine was found at the place operated
by Philip Lewandowski on the Wilmot
road near Trevor; another was taken
out of the Raymond's place at Camp
Lake; another from Peter Gazette's
at Powers lake, another iron the
Nielsen place at Twin Lakes, and the
last one from the Klobuscher resort
at Silverlake.
The three railding constables had
no difficulty in their raids which
spread over several towns of the
county. Once inside the places they
easily located the slot machines as
they were out in the open in all of
the places so as to attract customers.
District Attorney Lewis Powell di-
rectbi that warrants be sworn out for
the men operating these places and
all of them were to be brought into
court late this afternoon to face
gambling charges.

POINTS WAY TO
CURE HLITERACY
Better Educational Ad-
vantages Stressed by
Director Hambrecht.
MAKE PROGRESS NOW

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis. .! -
Greater educational opportunities for
all classes Of people as a means of
reducing illiteracy were suggested by
George P. Hambrecht, director of vo-
cational education, in an address here
Monday. Mr. Hambrecht spoke at the
Tri-City Labor Day celebration of
Wisconsin Rapids, Marshfeld and
Stevens Point.
Every man, who through ignor-
ance, lack of training, or by reason Of
any other hindering cause, is produc-
ing or earning only half as much as
he ought, by his ineficiency is max
ing himself and everybody else in the
community poorer" Mr.. Hambrecht
said.
There were 50,397 illiterate persons
in Wisconsin in 1920, according to
census figures, the speaker said. Of
these, 1920 were men of voting age
and 1886 were women of voting age.
Illiteracy was defined as inability to
read and write. The 1920 census
showed five million illiterates in the
United States, he said.
"The large number of adults among
the illiterates demonstrates the eff
cheney of our school system in ducat-
ing children" M. Hambrecht said.
"Our problem is largely the education
of the adults"
Progress that has been made in
Wisconsin is evidence in figures show
ing that the percentage of illiteracy
in the state has decreased from AT
per cent of the population in 1900, to
"a per cent in 1920, he said.
at is serious thing to have in the
United States five million people of
voting age who cannot read or write"
the speaker asserted. "That is a sit
uation the responsibility for which
must rest largely with our lack of at
tention to broad educational policy.
Our educational policy has not been
flexible enough to adapt itself to the
needs of native born inhabitants in
out of-the-way places, to children Of
the poor in industrial centers, and to
immigrants Of all ages and both sexes
from foreign countries.
"The growing needs of the commun-
ity demand longer period of educa-
tional contact, and the community
must offer greater variety of educa-
tional opportunities for the various
types Of individuals to be served. Ev-
cry dollar wisely invested in fur
nishirg these contacts brings back to
society a wealth return, both social
and economic, commensurate with the
breadth. and intensity of the educa
tional program projected. 1t is only
through wise and diversified public
expenditures for education and train
ing that we can get away from that vi
cious circle that binds ignorance to
poverty and poverty to ignorance.
