BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR YOU.
It is to be Given at Park Ave. Metho-
dist Church Dec IA and AL Are
Asked to Come and Make Merry.

You are to have a birthday party,
though you may not know it. 1t is to
be given December 14th whether that
is the exact date you usually celebrate
upon or not. Do try and be there, for
if you are not, your hostess, the Park
Avenue Methodist church, will be quite
sad at your absence.
1t happened this way. Mrs. Peter F..
Stair, the PASTORS wife, has never in
all her life had birthday party and
she told some of the members of the
church. Immediately they wondered
if it could be possible there were others
who had never had one, and thought
it might be.
Then the brilliant idea occurred to
them to give a birthday party for
everyone who wishes to come, whether
they have had them before or not.
The party will be an elaborate af-
fair. There are to be twelve tables
and each table will be for the children
Of that month. In order that no one
may be tempted to dodge the correct
number, the diners will not be asked to
pay the amount of their ages for their
dinner seats. Instead, each will be
asked to pay the number of pennies
that would mark the number of the
day of the month on which he was born
as the price of his dinner.
Each table will be presided over by
bride, and the dinner is to be real
birthday affair with birthday cake
and candles in the center-no ordinary
church social supper.
Everybody is invited to attend and
have an individual birthday celebration
as well as joining in the communal
merriment.

mil WAUkEE GETS HIGH HONOR
Is First County Along the Route of Old
Road to Have Concrete Highway
Milwaukee Boosters to Invade Ke-
nosha and Racine Counties.

Kenosha Next was the slogan of
half thousand good road boosters from
all over southern Wisconsin who gath
cred at a banquet in Milwaukee on Sat
urday night to celebrate the completion
OF Milwaukee county's portion of the
Sheridan road. 1t was the sentiment
proposed by the governor Of the state
who was the principal speaker at the
banquet and it was echoed by good road
advocates from both Illinois and Wis
consin. The completion of the Milwau-
kee county portion of the Sheridan road
brought the biggest demonstration in
favor of better highways ever seen in
the Middle West Five hundred auto
mobiles passed in parade over the road
and little Ruth Smith the daughter of
the president of the New Wisconsin
Sheridan Road association broke bot
tie of Lake Michigan water on the
surface of the new road and formally
declared it open to the public Milwau-
kee is the first of the counties in either
of the states to secure the completion Of
a permanent highway on what is known
as the Sheridan road.
Kenosha county was represented at
the big celebration by former mayor
Dan 0 Head, County Clerk Russell Fl.
Jones and Peter Rhode, the three men
who have been most active in seeking
the completion of the Sheridan road
through Kenosha county. All Of these
men had an active part in the celebra-
ton. Now that Milwaukee county has
completed it's portion of the road the
enthusiasm of the Milwaukee county
boosters is to be put behind the move
ment to secure the completion of the
road through Kenosha and Racine coun-
ties and Milwaukee missionaries are to
be sent to both Of these counties to see
what can be done to line up town and
county boards in favor of the imme-
date completion of the road. It is pro-
posed to hold a celebration similar to
the one held in Milwaukee, in Kenosha
just as soon as this county's portion of
the Sheridan road has been permanently
improved.
It is expected that some fifteen thou
sand dollars will be spent on the Sheri-
dan road in the town of Pleasant
Prairie during the coming year and it
is possible that plan will be worked
out by which this work can be extended
further. IF the town officials will be
able to aid it is probable that consid-
cradle sum will be raised by subscrip-
tion for the building of the road.
The Sheridan road north of Kenosha
is nearly completed. There is stretch
from Central Park to the county line
and this may be built during the COM
ing year. Racine county is making
plans for the extension of the road in
that county and it is possible that the
concrete road will be extended to the
north line of Kenosha county during
1916.
The meeting in Milwaukee was a big
roads love feast and representatives
from many counties in the two states
were present. Prominent among the
speakers was Mayor Clendening from
Zion City who gave assurance that Lake
county would not be behind the Wiscon-
sin counties in the completion of the
permanent road work.

 obviously artificial basis and charac- ter. would have but one result, name ly. that it is both ashamed and afraid to let the truth be known. The many attempts made by the Associated Press correspondent to throw some light on the Armenian situation resulted in failure, because the Turkish officials would not talk and the censorship would not permit the free passage of dispatches on the subject
 Punish Innocent and Guilty Nevertheless it must be said that the Armenians are not blameless. Divest- ed of all factors related to the nation al ambitions of the Armenians their
 conduct toward the Turks and the Ot- toman government has invited con- stantly measures of repression. The rising of Zeitoun, Bort Jul and Van, and wholesale assertions of Armenian soldiers to the allies on the Gallipoli peninsula, and to the Russians in the Caucasus, have turned the Turks heart into stone in matters Armenian, he is now wreaking vengeance upon guilty and innocent alike.
 Constantinople has for weeks had it's daily crop of Armenian rumors. One of the most interesting of them is that even the Sheik-ul- Islam had pro- tested against the excesses from which the Armenians have suffered There is possibility that this is true, because the Sheik -ul-Islam Is a man of moder- ation and very progressive tendencies.
 It is asserted in Constantinople that the German government has for some time, even at the beginning of the war, taken a special interest in the Arme- nians. The Germans feared from the very start of the war between Tur- key and the entente that the Arme- nians would make an attempt to re- establish by force their independence.
 Prominent Armenians were informed that Germany would continue, and even increase, it's benevolent interest in the during the war For time the in- trusted with the dissemination of this promise had the desired result. But last January and February. more es- pecially in March and April, when the allies had begun to attack the Dar- danelles in real earnest the services of these intermediates ceased to be of value. Exaggerated reports of entente victories inflamed the imagination of the Armenians and in many parts they rose in revolt.
 What has happened since then Is stil1 an unwrtten chapter. No newspaper men are allowed to visit the affected districts and reports from these are altogether unreliable. The reticence of the Turkish government cannot be looked upon as a good sign however especially when viewed in the light of what the German government has been obliged to do.
