were very Fnerous with their encores.
The success Of the chautauqua was
greatly due 10 the efforts Of Banker r.
@. Humlong and DR.. Dan n. Lloyd both
of Germantown. These men worked a
great deal to secure the chautauqua
and after securing II made IL a success
by issuing a folder of the chautauqua
and urging the farmers to come TO It..
Their work was certainly appreciated
in helping to make the chautauqua a
success.
The Farmers Chautauqua will GER
tainly be an institution in these three
counties in the future. The large
crowds which attended showed that
the farmers were Interested in the
work and many inquiries were made
as to whether another one would be
held next year. The talent was fur
nished by the State of Kentucky and
the Federal Government and was en-
tirely free to those attending. BY all
means a chautauqua next year.

KENosHA TO BE REPRESENTED?
The Woman's Club is Entitled to Two
Delegates to Biennial Convention
But May Not Send Any.

The Woman 8 club Of Kenosha is one
of those fortunate federated clubs that
has direct membership in the General
Federation of Women's clubs and does
not depend for it's representation upon
the Wisconsin Federation of Women IS
clubs. It is only few of the older
clubs that were given the direct mem
bership in the early days when it was
difficult to get a large number of dele
gates to the general federation con-
ventions.
Recently since the state delegations
are so large that it is difficult to en-
terrain the national because of its
numbers, the idea of direct member
ship has been largely discouraged and
many of those who originally paid the
direct membership fee in addition to
that to the state and through that to
the national has abandoned its direct
relationship.
Kenosha, Racine and some other
towns still boast clubs with direct
membership
The Kenosha Woman s club has or
dinarily sent its delegates to the ma
tional conventions, paying their ex-
penses. This year with the project of
a woman s clubhouse and that of main
tanning a maternity bed in the hospital
to deplete its treasury, it does not feel
like footing the bills for two delegates
to the general federation convention to
be held in New York in May. 1t has,
however, let it be known among it's
members that if any member chose to
go as a delegate and pay her own ex-
penses that the club will gladly give
her delegates credentials.
The program of the convention is
said to contain the best material that
has ever been offered at similar con-
vention of the federation.
It is expected that fully 10000 wo-
men including representatives of every
state in the union are to be in attend
ance.
The expenses for convention arrange
ments are estimated at $4,000.

BIG FIRE IN TREVOR.
Residence Of Wayne Bush is Destroyed
With a Loss of $4,000 on
Monday in Salem.

The village of Trevor had one Of
the biggest fires in its history on Mon
day when sparks from chimney set
fire to the roof of the residence of
Wayne Bush and the flames spread so
rapidly that the house was burned to
the ground causing loss of $4,000 on
the building and considerable loss on
the furniture with insurance of but
$1,000. The roof was all IN flames
when the fire was discovered and al
though the people of Trevor turned out
to fight the flames they were unable
to save the building and only small
amount of the furniture and personal
effects of the Bush family were taken
from the house. Town Chairman
Tom Fleming was the hero of the fire
as he managed to rescue fifteen
swarms of bees from a burning pile
of straw with which they had been
covered for the winter. The Bush
home was one of the most modern
houses in Trevor.

their stamp of approval on the work
of Engineer B. G. Brennan on Monday
evening when he was reelected by a
unanimous vote of the aldermen for his
fourth term as city engineer of the
city. No other candidate was consid-
cred in connection with the position.
Mr.. Brennan will also be superinten-
dent OF the Kenosha water works and
it is expected that when he is re-
elected to this position at the next
meeting of the water board that he will
be given an increase in salary. Mr..
Brennan has had an excellent record
ard he is considered by all people who
are connected with the official work of
the city as the best city engineer that
has ever served the city. Alfred
Wood and Robert Smith have been
named as assistant engineers on the
suggestion of Engineer Brennan and
the council made provisions for increase
III salary for both of them.

Did any father miss his opera hat

cap or his dress coats
| It's the News as can be afther tellin ;
We where it was.
It was at the Methodist Episcopal
church parlors and in very good COM
pany, too. Mrs. Peter f. Stair s bible
class of 100 young women gave party,
of masculinity without actually allow
ing the intrusion of the opposite sex,
into the sacred precincts, half of the
young women masqueraded as men by
adding to their ordinary costumes,
coats, vests, hats or walking sticks sur
Ireptitiously borrowed from some male
relative. The only real men who got
across the threshold were the fashlight
photographer and Mr.. Stair who came
in to bring something and went out
| instanter.
One young woman evidently had an
alliance with the aborigines for she
appeared in perfectly good Big
Chief s outfit with the war feathers
trailing to the floor from the band
round her head and Navajo blanket
wrapped round her in dignifed folds.
But long before the grand march was
over that blanket had proved it's worth
and its warmth by so nearly suffocat-
ing her that she had to discard it and
lallow the feathered head covering to
symbolic her manhood.
The grand march was full of interest
to the onlooker because of the variety
Of marchers. There was Chinese wo-
man who had such tiny feet that they
fitted exactly into the tiniest pair of
blue satin shoes, just the kind the late
Empress of China was pictured as
wearing. There was graceful Japan
csc girl with chrysanthemums in her
hair and an umbrella over her head,
showing she had no occidental super
stitions, no matter how many of the
oriental ones were lodged in her pretty
head; there was an Italian brigandess,
the yellow Empress Moth, and a Dutch
| girl, the clank of whose wooden shoes
could be heard above the chatter and
music that accompanied the grand
march.
| One ordinary nurse and a red cross
nurse were among the marchers and
ready to render first aid to the injured,
which, by the way, WASH t needed as
they stood the march as well as the
United States army in Mexico is said
to endure its marches.
The gymnasium was given a Japan
ese like effect with trellis of pink
paper which rooted it. Bouquets of
pink sweet peas were set about.
A program opened with a group of
songs by quartette composed of the
Misses Harriet Macarthur, Florence
Foxwell, Charlotte Stinson and Mrs. G.
Van Covering. Miss Florence Freder-
lex played several violin selections with
delightful effect and was accompanied
by Miss Marion Hale at the piano.
! Miss Florence Foxwell sang a solo;
Miss Metha Lewis gave piano selec-
ton and Mrs. Stair read a dramatic
selection.

der the order of the council the install

Formal notice of the appeal of Mrs.

peal is taken to the circuit court and
it is expected that the matter will be
brought up for trial at This term of the

$1,000 For Grand Army Encampment.
On the recommendation of the finance
committee the council appropriated
$1,000 from the general funds of the
city to aid the Fred S. Lowell Post of
the Grand Army of the Republic in the
entertainment of the department en-
campment here in 1917. AS the county
board has already provided for $500
this will give the post $1,000 as a start
for its fund 1t will be necessary to
raise a thousand dollars by private sub
scription to complete the fun0. Alder
man Goodman was the only vote reg
istered against the appropriation.
The street assessment committee re-
ported that the requisite number of
property owners had signed the peti.
tion for the paving of Wisconsin street
from Maiden lane to the lake and an
effort will be made to have the work
completed by the end of April. The
paving will be of concrete with park
way through the center of it.

sented and given it's first reading. The
provisions of the ordinance were in

the usual course and it will be up for
final action at the next regular meeting.
Notwithstanding the fact that it was
the night before the primary election

til after midnight The last matter to
come before the council was the revo-
cation of the saloon license of Harry
