ming the officers elect in the foreign
| association declined to serve, thus
multiplying all the three Minneapolis
gentlemen had accomplished. So
they left on the ten o'clock train
that morning and have not reap
peared since. The movement for a
local association has gone on, how
ever, and nearly fifty men have sig
nified their willingness to 60 into it.
When that number of names shall
have been secured meeting will be
called and arrangements made for
completing the organization. This
movement will doubtless be success
full. Such an association should
have been started long ago. Many
towns much smaller than Kenosha
have prosperous associations. The
need Of one here is very evident from
the scarcity of houses. The demand
is far beyond the present supply and
an association Of this kind would en-
able many to build who otherwise
would go on paying rent for many
years. The movement should be
encouraged and carried to a success.
