Shots From the Gun Club

The bunch met at the usual place
and took the "Jitney Bus" for the
grounds on account of the rain, slush
mud, etc., that goes to discourage such
hard work as walking. Someone was
kind enough to remark that the Jitney
was loaded with fools, but they stayed
on. although it certainly was wet. Yet
nothing can dampen the enthusiasm oil
the true sport. There were tw~enty-six
shooters present and about a dozen on
lockers. The trap was kept smoking
with the rapid progress of targets across
it and the way those hot pigeons were
smashed up was a caution. Just to
think that the good, bad and indifer-
ent shooters all taken together only
missed SCI targets out Of 1850 shot at,
that a goodly portion Of the time they
were shooting in a steady rain and fog
that obscured the vision, and that they
were shooting loads that were too heavy
for trap work, would but impress one
with the great progress that is being
made by the members, their persever-
ance and enthusiasm and evident in

them is willing to reduce his speed to
ffteen miles an hour in order to lessen
the destructive wear of the machine on
the road surface. The fact is becom-
ing apparent that legislation must be
turned against the automobile owners
In order to stop the destruction they
are causing to these expensive roads.
A law that would prevent an automo-
bile from being sold or run in the
state, that could make over fifteen
miles an hour would save millions of
dollars annually in the expense of es-
tablishing and maintaining good roads.
And we want to say to the automobile
fraternity that If they do not stop
their wild and dangerous practice of
driving from twenty to forty miles an
hour over country roads they will soon
hear from the farmers in way that
they will remember. The farmers are
not mutton headed fools nor are they
blind to the destruction to their roads

BILE for. The fact that farmers own
automobiles will not hinder the mighty
protest that will soon go up to the law
making power to correct this glazing
injustice. They are not going to sit
patient and keep building up expensive
roads for the autoists to destroy with
out making their influence felt in the

ing and you will stop the principal

The time honored paragraph "laid

sha City cemetery which has been
published in Kenosha papers since the
days of old Southport is to be forgotten
for at the annual meeting of the Keno
sha Cemetery association held little
while ago the members of the associa-
ton voted unanimously to drop the old
name of the resting place of the dead
| and in the future the large cemetery at
the south end Of Park avenue is to be
known as sGreenridge Cemetery Ev-
| er since the organization of the present
cemetery association change in the
name of the cemetery has been in pros
lpect. With the many improvements
that have been going on at the cemetery
| the men in charge of them have kept
in mind that some time the cemetery
would have new name.
The name Greenridge was suggested
some time ago and after thinking over
the proposition for more than year,
| the members Of the board of directors
IrecommendeGits acceptance. Hereafter
the cemetery will be known officially as
lGreenridge and the Kenosha City Gene
terry association will officially change its
name to the Greenridge Cemetery asso-
citation.
The new name is decidedly appropri-
ate for there is no more beautiful
| !" Greenridgeo in all Wisconsin Than
this one now used as the final resting
| place of hundreds of men and women
who have lived in the city.
At the annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION the annual reports of the
officers showed that the association
| was in excellent financial condition.
While there was no large balance report
ed in the treasury the association has
been able to meet all obligations and
considerable sum has been spent dur
ing the past year in permanent i'm
provements The roads have been i'm
proved and a great amount Of work
has been done to make the general APP
pearance Of the cemetery more attrac-
tive, The fund for perpetual care of
| lots in the cemetery is growing rapidly
and many residents and former resi-
dents are showing renewed interest in
the care of the cemetery.
At the annual meeting the following
were named as members of the board
of trustees: Peter Fisher, G. G. Allen,

In the history of the lodge, the chairs

The opening entertainment will be

ably remarked upon by San Francisco
