An effort is being made to rejuvenate
the Business Mems Club This organiza-
ton had almost gone into "innocuous des-
uetude" through the apathy of its members.
It deserves better fate. 1t is rather ex-
pensive for printer to belong to, but it
has our endorsement just the same.
Get on. to this. Knute Knutson sold
a COW for thirty dollars. He bought it

The erection of several buildings IN
Kenosha has been delayed this spring be-
cause OF the scarcity of brick. AS soon as
they can be obtained several buildings will
be started. Brick are rather expensive this
spring on account of the scarcity of them.
A little later they can probably be had for
less money.
Uncle Sam appears to be doing a very
encouraging business in Kenosha these
days. The total number of pieces mailed
at the post office in Kenosha last week was
1899, weight 6991bs, postage $117.88. One
of the strongest evidences Of the growth Of
this city is seen in the increased business
at the post office.

The annual catalogue of the University
School has inst been issued from this office.
| 1t shows the school to have had a very
prosperous year so far with bright promises
for the future. The facilities and attractions
of the school are being increased constantly
and under its present able management it
is destined without doubt to grow into an
| important factor in the educational life of
this city and state. The catalogue typo
graphically considered is certainly the finest
piece Of work of that kind that has ever
been turned out Of Kenosha office.

Christian Association Tuesday evening the
association was reorganized under a charter
from the state and officers elected as follows
President, L. A Cass; Vice President, F
II. Lyman; Secretary, F. w. Engel; Treas

was increased to twelve and the following
named gentlemen elected: Messrs. J. H
Charles, Z. L. Grant, F. Becker, L. M.
Theirs, c. G. Theleen, James Spruce, Hazel
Lance, w. j. Frost, w. G. Burr, j. V.
Crate, Joseph Harry and David Rahr.
This change in no way modifes the char
acter of the work Of the association, but it
was thought best to have the association
chartered as legal organization and with
a view to the future work of the institution.

only four hits being credited to each side.
