HAVE GREAT STREET PARADE
Buffet Luncheon Follows Initiatory
Ceremonies and ''Song Birds" from
Chicago Make Cabaret Feature at
Close Decidedly Interesting.

The Since Club of the Simmons men
had its biggest meeting on last Satur-
day night when six hundred men from
the ranks of the employees of Sim
mons Company marched behind the
band and showed their interest in CO.
operation for better things by present
ing themselves as candidates for the
activities of the SINCE goat.
The ceremonials of initiation were
put on at the Coliseum and more than
nine hundred people attended 1t was
the one big night of the year for the
men who are part of Simmons Com
pany. There was music and feasting
and with it all there was the develop
m1ent of the big idea of cooperation
not only for the advancement of the
interests of the men but as well for
the advancement of the interests of
the company by which they were en-
ployed. 1t was the biggest class of
travellers ever taking an initiatory rite
in Kenosha and stories of the trip over
the burning sands indicate that the
Since secrets were given with an i'm.
pressiveness which will linger long in
the memory of the men who had part
in the big night.
just before seven O clock the clans
began assembling at the corner of Mar
ket and Exchange streets. There were
all the old members of the club and
the six hundred new members. Then
there was band of more than thirty
pieces in charge of G.. A. Smith Just
after seven o'clock the parade started
and it was some parade. It numbered
more than eight hundred men. Many of
them were men who have high places
in the manufacturing world of Keno
sha and they marched shoulder to
shoulder with the men who came up
from the plant to join the new co-opera-
alive organization.
The parade passed over all of the
downtown streets and led the way to
the Coliseum where the exercises of
the evening were all ready. Then
there was a band concert of twenty
minutes while the six hundred candi-
dates who had been heard in the base
ment of the building were prepared
for the initiation. The initiation was
in charge Of Harry Kupfer After the
initiation was over buffet lunch was
served under the direction of Charles
Martin. Covers were laid for more
than nine hundred. There were no set
speeches but at the regular social
which followed the initiation lot of
the men who had been leaders in the
big movement had something to offer.
Then there was cabaret. Five en-
tertainers from the Benson agency in
Chicago furnished the entertainment
and it was interesting enough to keep
the crowd about the Coliseum until
midnight.
In all it was one of the biggest
nights ever staged by the men of any
of the great industries of Kenosha.

Speaking of men who drive the band
wagon: page Richard Dowse of Pleasant
Prairie. When 1T came to working out
the salvation of road building in Pleas
ant Prairie it was Dowse that hitched
the team to the band wagon and he just
kept eternally at it until he had riders
enough to insure the carrying out of
his plan. He is entitled to a lot Of
credit for starting Kenosha county along
the right way toward the building of
better permanent roads.

The shocking death of David E.
Pierce on that railroad bridge in the
town of Salem should teach the railway
company the necessity Of making tres
passing impossible on such bridges.
One Of the real troubles with railway
company is that it is constantly MAX

Of putting up bar against the people
who might be tempted to use the
tracks.
