WOULD HOLD CELEBRATION.
Society Wants to Observe Anniversary
of First Raising
of Flag,

Green Bay has taken the lead IN a
movement to celebrate the centennial of
the raising of the Stars and Stripes for
the first time over the land west of Lake
Michigan in the great northwest terri
tory.
It was on August Z, 1916, that the
American fort was established in Green
Bay and the first flag "of the United
States was unfurled in that district.
which comprised Wisconsin, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana,
Nebraska and Idaho.
At meeting of the Green Bay His
torical society the question was dis
cussed, and decision was reached to
invite the Wisconsin State Historical
society and civic organizations through
out this part of the country to partici-
pate in a celebration.
No form of observance was decided
upon, but it is planned to erect Glib
erty pole - on the courthouse lawn at
Green Bay on that date.

BUYS NEWELL HOMESTEAD.
DR.. Thad w. Ashley Purchases Beauti-
full Property on Park Avenue
on Thursday.

Announcement was made today that
the former Frederick Newell home on
Park avenue, just south of Deming
street, had been sold to DR.. Thad w.
Ashley and he will take possession of
the property the first of April. The
consideration is not made public but it
is said to have been in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
With the sale of the Newell home
stead, the other property surrounding
it, consisting of lots on both Park ave-
nue. and Exchange street, will be put
on the market. 1t is probable that the
famous pine grove on Exchange street
which has long been one of the beauty
spots of the city, will be cut out in
order to provide homes. It 10 expected
that the property will be sold during the
coming spring. The property is regard
ed as among the best residence property
now available in the city and it is said
that there are many prospective buyers
for the frontage on both Exchange
street and Park avenue.

RIFLE CLUB FOR KENosHA MEN.
Meeting to be Held on Thursday Night
to Take First Steps Along the Road
to Preparedness Here.

The seeds of the big preparedness
movement have found root in Kenosha
and the first result is to be the forma-
tion of the Kenosha Rifle club, to be
composed Of well known men Of the
city. Alfred Terrell has issued call
for a meeting to lay plans for the or
ganization Of the club and it is to be
held at the Terrell home on Park ave-
nue. on Thursday evening. At this time
the plans for the organization will be
considered by few of the interested
citizens and later on formal call will
be sent out for the awakening Of the
general public in The movement. It is
the first movement along the. line of
preparedness to be started in Kenosha
and it is certain that it is going to
meet with the most cordial support of
a lot of Kenosha people. Kenosha has
no military company or any other or
gained body which might be called
into service in case such service was
needed for the defense Of the nation.
The Rifle club would be- fully organ
lied by the national government as it
is planned to organize it under the
formal act of congress providing for
such organizations. Membership will
entail the payment of no dues, no duties
or responsibilities which will in any
way interfere with the business of the
men belonging to it. Under the act of
congress the rifles, ammunition and or
dinance supplies of the club would be
provided by the United States govern
ment at the same rate that they are
charged for to members of the national
guard. Members of the Kenosha club
would have the privilege of the use of
the rifle range at either Camp Logan
just south of the state line or at South
Milwaukee.
The movement is patriotic move
ment that has been started among BUSH
ness men in many parts Of the country
and it is expected that it will prove
attractive to 8 lot of the business men
of Kenosha who feel that they should
take some steps to make themselves
capable Of rendering real service to
their government should such service
ever be demanded. The meeting on
Thursday night will be of preliminary
nature and after this conference of
leaders IN the movement general call
will be sent out to the men Of the city.
It is certain that there will be many
responses to this call.
