On siderowfs next serve for the Washers, Inkelbach missed and the Washers scored. on the next serve Siderowf to the Nlndies, Hergstrom on returning the serve netted the ball and the Washers scored. Both sides for several mln- utcs repeatedly gained point only to have the score brought back to deuce. Thompson on two tantallz- ing serves for the Washers, whlch the Whales failed to return, won the two necessary points for hls team.
 The Whitwashers having won the first game proceeded 10 win the next and deciding game as quickly as possible and early scored seven roint lead with the Whales t1ghtlng hard to overcome it. Losing the f1rst game after hard fight when every thing was in their favor seemed 10 break down the morale of the team and the Washers finally won by the score of 15-11. Siderowf, Thompson starred for the Whitewashers; Leu heck and Dorsey played their usual good game for the Wirdjammers.

Islands Withdrawn
from Settlement
Islands In Mississippi River Are With
drawn BY United States Govern
ment From Settlement.

La Crosse, Wis fe The federal
government has withdrawn from set
Element, location, sale, or entry, all
islands owned by the United States in
the Mississippi river between Rock
Island, ILL.,, and Wabasha, Mimi, and
has reserved them for use of the De-
partment of Agriculture in connection
with the establishment of the Upper
Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish
refuge, it has been learned here.
President Calvin Coolidge signed
the order for the withdrawal, the re-
port received here states.
Early action in withdrawing the
islands from entry or sale was agreed
upon to give the projects good start
and eliminate the possibility that the
lands would have to be purchased
from private owners.
The islands regarded to, with other
islands in the river north of Cairo,
ILL.,, were first withdrawn from public
entry in 1891 for the use of the War
department in connection with possi-
bic improvements of navigation on the
upper Mississippi river, but were re-
stored to entry and disposal by the
Secretary of the Interior, April %,
1925.
BY the order of President Coolidge
there is retained once more under
government ownership all islands
within the limits Of the new wild life
refuge.

The conditions have changed so that
the farmer realizes that if he doesn't

the country now comes from Chicago.
The farmers are willing to pay the
fares of any man who will come out

"But in spite of those things farm

the reasons is that he can go to work
in a factory as common laborer and
make more money with regular hours

BLAINE CLOSES
FIRE PREVENTION
Governor Makes Closing
Address on Fire Proven
tiOn at Gordon.
HAS BEEN SUCCESS

Gordon, Wis.-''zPH The advant-
preventing and suppressing fires were
outlined by Governor Blaine here to-
day at the closing meeting of series
that were held this week in the forest
sections of Wisconsin.
"The objects of these conferences
have been accomplished" the governor
said. "In short, those objects are to
tie together cooperative undertakings
in the prevention and suppression Of
forest fires in a logical, practical,
complete organization.
81 pin my faith to this program,
with the judgment that it promises
genuine constructive accomplishments.
To assure continuance of the en-
thusiasm and determination in carry
ing out organized efforts in the pre-
vention and suppression of forest
fires it is necessary that no one go to
sleep on the job.
Merely Launches Program.
''This conference closes the forest
district meetings for the week. 1t
does not bring to close the regular
program which has taken shape and
form at our five prior meetings. Meet
ings with the several conferences,
am fully persuaded that the people of
northern Wisconsin are in hearty ac-
cord with the objects of these meet
ings.
"The necessity for complete organ
ization in fire prevention and fire sup
preston is best demonstrated by the
statement of fact
Fires Were Destructive.
During the forest fires last spring
in one section of the state, a partly
organized fire district, there We're

less than 500 acres burned over. This
particular section was partly organ.

tors, summer resort keepers, and all
other citizens of the area, while
loosely organized, were we'll organized.
Gin another area of Wisconsin,
there we're some 80 odd fires, and over
$4,000 acres burned over. In that
area there was practically organiza-
tion and the forest fires burst out up
on the settlers and cities and villages
almost to the point of producing
community panic.
"These two illustrations conclusive
ly prove that organization for FIRE pre-
yention and fire suppression will re-
duce loss from forest fires to almost
zero. They prove the tremendous possi-
bilities of cooperative, interested, or
ganized, power.
Urges Them to Garry On"
"But as said at the beginning, the
program for organization and CO.

The chief foresters in each forest dis

spective districts from the general or

laws we now have.
son the other hand, the conserva-

structive development in affording to
the people of northern Wisconsin such
assistance as is due them from the
state, not only in the interests of
northern Wisconsin, but as well in the
interests of the state as whole"

their funds toward providing shall
homes and apartments a. REASONABLE
rental for young couples just getting
started in life, is already bearing
fruit is the belief of C. M. Towne of
Milwaukee, who has written Levitan
calling attention to recent clipping
from the Chicago Tribune telling of
RRockefeller's decision to go to the
rescue of the New York labor unions

homes for their own workers at rea-
sonable cost.
The Empire Mortgage company,
Rockefeller institution, has taken,
over the title to the block purchased
by the Labor Homes Building Cor
poration last spring at the grand con-
course, Sheridan avenue and 1853 and

for beautiful garden apartment
which would provide small homes for
workers at about half the usual cost.

layed the building; then Rockefeller,
suddenly came to the rescue and as
first step purchased the property. The
apartments viii probably be sold on
cooperative basis to working men as
was the original intention of the
unions.

Teller influenced him to engage in this
undertaking" says Towne.

SEARCH FOR F. BIJDA

Kenosha police are working on the
theory that a man found shot to death
in Chicago on October and since
remaining unidentified, might have
been F. Buda, who FIVE years ago re-
sided at 61s North Sheridan road.
The only clue to the mans identity
found by Chicago police at the time
of discovery of the body was pair
of spectacles contained in case bear
ing the name of s. M. Russell, 169 Main
street, Kenosha
Mr.. Russell, an optometrist, now
with Offices in the Schwartz building,
received the case and the glasses yes
terday for purposes of Identification.
He at once recognized the case as one
sold by him, but the glasses they con-
tanned were not his. This may be ac-
counted for by the fact that eye pa
tients often get glasses changed but
retains the old case.
A search of his records by Mr.. Rus

SAYS HIS WIFE
DESERTED HIM
James L. Martin is Granted
a Divorce from Edyth
Swift Martin.
EHLERT CASE HELD UP

Judge Slater in municipal court has
granted one more Milwaukee divorce,
although he has admitted that it goes
against the grain with him even to
"listen in" at these Milwaukee cases,
particularly as certain Milwaukee at
torneys have persisted in bringing
down case after case.
But the municipal judge has writ
ten one Milwaukee lawyer, who has
been more pestiferous than any other,
telling him that he did not care to
hear any more cases brought by him
in this court. This particular attor-
ney appears, Judge Slater says, to
have made habit of carrying his
cases down to this court from Mil
waukee, and has not used this court
in an emergency which the Kenosha
judge would always be glad to meet.
Another Case Granted.
James L. Martin has been granted
a divorce in the municipal court from
Edyth Swift Martin. They were mar
ried at Lansing, Mich, October ~,
1916. The couple have been living in
Milwaukee. Wilful desertion August
10, 1928, was charged, and the divorce
was granted on this showing. The
divorce complaint furnished more
truly discreet" reading than has
been the case in other Milwaukee
divorce cases brought down here.
Erna Ehlert has sued for divorce
from Fred Ehlert, but after hearing
the testimony Judge Slater held the
matter up for further evidence, hold
ing that there had not been sufficient
grounds shown him.
The Ehlerts were married March 10,
1922, at Koenigsberg, East Prussia,
and have one child, Gerda, for whose
custody the mother. petitions.
