FIND RELICS OF SCHOONER
kenosha Workmen Excavating for
New Intake Find Timbers Of
Boat Wrecked in 1870.

Kenosha. Interesting history of one
OF the old tragedies of Lake Michigan
was recalled here when workmen ex-
cavating for the new intake of the
Kenosha Water company found the
wreck of a schooner. An investigation
brought out the fact that the timbers
were part of the old schooner E. M.
COPYRIGHT, which foundered in gale
off the Racine reef on Nov. 25, 1870.
The boat went on the beach just north
of the Kenosha harbor on the follow
ing morning, and the captain and mem
bers of the crew we're rescued by a
volunteer band of lifesavers.
The hulk of the boat had been left
on the beach and the shifting sands
of the lake had buried it years ago.

According to the members of the
French Commercial and Industrial
Mission, of which Maurice Damour is
at the head, France is to spend $1,000
100000 in the United States on machin-
cry to reconstruct her industries, de-
stroyed or crippled by the war. The
commission arrived aboard the new
liner Lafayette. None of the money,
said NJ. Damour, who posed especially
for this photograph aboad the vessel,
will be spent on ammunition. All will
be spent for agricultural, Industrial
and commercial materials. While the
mission will not do any purchasing, it
will make arrangements for the pur-
chases, so that shipments may be
started as soon as there is definite
indications of approaching peace. M.
Damour is well known in New Orleans,
where he was the former French con-
sui general. He is secretary of the
committee of appropriations of the
French chamber of deputies.

blown away or get killed by something
flying thru the air, as the air was full
of everything up to a steam engine,
and the rain cut us just like gravel'

taken us two hours to walk to town,
and when we did get there the water

YOU.

If YOU want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on a long, long hike
You'll only find what yon left behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's knock at yourself when you knock your town.
1t isn't the town--its you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise town from the dead
And while you make your personal stake,
Your neighbor can make one, too;
Your town will be what you want to see,
! 1t isn't your town-its you
