STATE LEADERS ARE COMING.
Men and Women Prominent In the Bat
tie Against the White Plague in Wis
consin to Come to Kenosha For For
NAL Celebration Late in June.

County Supervisor Louis R. Grosve-
nor, head of the special committee of
the county board in charge of the
building Of the county tuberculosis
sanatorium, has decided to bring an
other feature to the Home Coming
celebration This is to be the laying of
the corner stone of the new sanatorium
and he announced today that the corner
stone would be laid on one of the days
of Home Coming week. The cere-
monies will be arranged to meet plans
made by the general Home Coming
committee. Tt is probable that the
stone will be laid on the afternoon of
June Oath or 25th. The contractors are
just completing the work of putting in
the concrete footing and the first car
load of red brown shale brick for the
walls has arrived in Kenosha.
It is probable that the work of lay
ing the brick will be started before the
close Of the present week and there is
no doubt but that the contractors will
be ready for the laying of the corner
stone during Home Coming week. The
handsome stone has been donated by
William III. Morse and John T. Yule
who served two consecutive terms as
chairman of the county board, is to
have the honor of placing the stone in
position. The laying of the corner stone
of the Kenosha sanatorium is going to
bring to Kenosha a great gathering of
men and women who have been inter
ested in the humanitarian fight against
the white plague in Wisconsin.
DIR. Hoyt e. Dearholt, head of the
state organization in the fight against
tuberculosis, will be on hand and will
probably be one Of the speakers. Miss
Elizabeth M. Tate, who was the pio-
neer agitator of a sanatorium for Ke-
nosha county, will also be here, and
occupying prominent places on the
platform will be half score of
prominent men and women who met
more than decade ago and planned
the first organization to fight tubercu-
losis in Kenosha county. It was large
" through the work of these men and
women that the sentiment was develop
ed in favor of the erection of the in
stitution. Dr. g. Windesheim, who is
one of the oldest battlers in the state
against the white plague, is going to
be one Of the real honored guests at
the corner stone laying. 1t is just pos
sible that Governor Philip will find it
possible to be here and have part in
the interesting ceremony.
Tt is certain that the Kenosha sana-
forum is going to be the best erected
in any Of the smaller counties of Wis
| consin and the committee has taken a
| pride in inviting officials of other
counties to be present at the laying of
the corner stone.
The rainy weather has interfered
badly with the progress of the work
out at the Runals farm but with any
thing like settled conditions the con
| tractors expect to see the building com
pleted by the first of November and it
/ is expected that it will be ready for the
acceptance of the county board at the
| fall session. Many people are asking
for the privilege Of doing something
towarG the furnishing of the big build
| ING and it is certain that a large
| amount Of the furniture and fixtures of
the institution will be donate 4 by peo-
/ ple interested In the movement.
| The formal program for the laying of
| the corner stone will be issued as q
part Of the program for the Home
| Coming and the date for the ceremonies
| will be set at the next meeting Of the
general committee in charge Of Keno
sha IS big festival of Renaissance.
