HOLD HARVEST HOME BALL.
Country Club Plans Most Important
Social Event of It's Year for Night
of Septemher 18th.


Mrs. Harry Robinson who is the gen
cral social chairman for the year Of the
Country Club announces the appoint
ment of Mrs. Richard Welles as meals
chairman and Mrs. w. w. Vincent
chairman of decorations for the harvest
home dinner dance to be given in the
Country Club the night Of September
Is. This is an annual affair and is al
ways an interesting OCCASION Ordi-
narily the guests come in fancy dress
and this will doubtless be the case this
year although the entertainment chair
man, w. A. Bell, has no5 made an
nouncement of this as yet and will not
do so until after the meeting of the di-
rectors of the club the latter part of
this week when the matter will be de-
cided. 1t is also to be decided at that
cabaret or otherwise, if any, will fill
the interim between the dinner and the
opening of the ball.
Benson s orchestra of Chicago has
been engaged for the event, and it was
due to the fact that Benson IS could not
be procured for Saturday night that
the date Of the affair was made Friday
instead of the 10th as was originally
planned.
AS is usual when there is an i'm
portant social event at the club, it is
expected that number of Racine IS
society people will attend.

Little Brothers Of Elks Tell Tale Of Adventure

SunbroWned and burned from a
tramp of GALS miles across country,
two Little Brothers Of the Elks, young
men in their late teens, arrived in Ke-
nosha Friday night. Saturday saw
them again on their way toward New
York. They had come from Seattle,
Wash, living demonstrations of the
splendid work which the Big Brothers
of the Elks are doing for lads who need
theJ encouragement of brotherly re-
lation which their own families do not
afford.
The lads are both handsome, manly
youngsters, Edgar Maycock and Claude
Schellhammer by name.
These boys families were unable to
give them aid in getting their educa-
tions or in establishing themselves I'm
Seattle. They were fortunate enough
to be chosen by two benefcent mem
bers of the Elks who, having no chill
dren Of their own, decided to adopt
"little brothers,
Cannot Give Money.
According to the rules Of the Big
Brothers they may use their influence
to procure work for their adopted
brothers, they may give them educa-
lions, they may advise them and are
expected to visit them frequently,
keeping in touch with the joys and
woes that 60 into the life Of every lad,
but it is denied them to give their
little brothers, financial aid except
footing school bills, without the mat
ter being put before the Big Brother
hood and a special dispensation being
secured.
When the two youngsters decided in
the spring that they would like to
hike across the continent, they
talked it over with their Big Brothers.
1t was decided that they might do so,
combining pleasure with business, the
pleasure being the adventures of the
highway-and they have had many
and their business, the dissemination
of knowledge to the people whom they
met in regard to the Works CO the Big
Brothers.
Big Brothers are Helpful
Rather more is being done by the
Big Brothers in the west than in the
east. In Seattle alone there are thirty
five lads who are ''little brothers, all
OF whom are being made useful, self
respecting men when their chances for
straying from the straight and narrow
path would have been legion without
the kindly, guiding hands of their Big
Brothers. The Seattle lodge has an
active membership of 1854 and, ac-
cording to the boys, one of the hand
soonest club houses in the country, and
as they have staid in many on their
Way, they are competent to Judge.
They did say that the Racine clubhouse
is a close second and that so far as the
view is concerned it surpasses that of
its western rival. They said they were
so Hospitality treated by J. S. Adrian.

they have staid two days, occasionally
to replenish their purses by working.
Forty Miles Days Stint for Them.
They have been averaging forty
miles day since they got fairly hard
ened to their task, although when they
left Seattle at 2:15 p. m. June and
for several days thereafter they aver
aged less than twenty miles day and
felt the discomfort Of the results Of
their tramping Now they say it is a
joy to tramp forty miles in a day and
one day, between Dallas City, N. D.,
and Fargo, they made ffty-six miles
but they heightened their day from
twelve to eighteen hours.
Tramp Attacks Them.
It was just out of Livingstone, Mont,
that they had the most exciting Incl
dent Of their trip. They were held up
by knight Of the road as they were
walking down the railroad tracks, but
they managed BY dint of the use Of
craft to persuade the man to let them
go, although they had considerable
money on their persons.

more than that, accumulated as they

The hardest walking they found was
crossing the Cascade mountains when
they encountered snow eight feet in
depth. So far they have worn out two
pairs of shoes each, each of which has
been soled three times and forty-fve
pairs of socks. They say that the only
sock which is comfortable for long
walks is a light, fine, Atwood article
for which they pay 81 a pair. All they
carry is an army knapsack and they
try to keep twelve pairs of socks

feet must be bathed at least three
times day in order to keep them from
swelling or firing when they are doing
forty miles day.
They expect to reach New York in
