CHRISTMAS RUSH ALREADY ON.
Kenosha Postoffice Busy Getting Out
Parcels to People Living in
Foreign Countries.

It's nearly month until Christmas
but at that the Christmas rush has al
ready started at the Kenosha postoffice
and the men at the office are finding a
great increase in business on account
of the shipment Of parcels from Keno
sha to foreign countries. On account
Of the delays caused by the war many
people have started sending their
Christmas boxes now. Mail is not
sent to lot Of the European countries,
but it is certain that even with these
countries eliminated from the mailing
list that foreign Christmas shipments
from Kenosha will be larger than ever
before. The postofice looked like a
commission house on Tuesday and to-
day as scores Of fat turkeys, ducks and
geese were shipped by parcel post out
of Kenosha. Some of these parcels
went to distant cities and all are ex-
pected to be delivered before Thanks
giving day.

THANKSGIVING OFFERING.

At the union service of Thanksgiving
in the Congregational Church the reg
ular Thanksgiving offering will have
double object this year. 1t has been
the custom for several years to make
an offering here for the Associated
Charities. This year the Charities
have asked that the churches establish
a special fund for the sick poor. This
will be used for procuring medicines,
or sick room outfits, for transporting
needy cases to sanitariums, and other
sick relief. Those attending the union
service are invited TO bring contribu-
tions to start such a fund for local
charity. In addition to this, in ac-
cordance with President Wilson IS
proclamation, "urging and suggesting
our duty, in this, our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples Of the world
upon whom the curse and terror Of war
has SO pitilessly fallen, and to contri-
butte out of our abundant means to the
relief of their sufferings," an oppor-
tunity will be given to contribute, in
envelopes, to the cause of the innocent
sufferers from the war. A report will
be made on the Christmas Ship, which
will sail early in December, and on the
result of the recent Armenian relief
campaign throughout the country. At
tendants at the service are asked to
remember both these offerings.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Underberg Cele.
brate Sunday at Home of Daugh-

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Underperg are

as man and wife for sixty years. They
celebrated the sixtieth anniversary oe
their marriage Sunday night in the
home of their daughter, Mrs. Anna
Mielke of Bristol, with whom they
live and in the merry party that sur
rounded them were their four daugh-
ters, three sons, twenty-five grandchil-
dren, and fifteen great grandchildren.
The affair was delightful one and
many were the congratulations re-
ceived by the happy old couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Underberg are both of
German birth, coming to this country
when less than two years old They
lived in Milwaukee for some time and
later settled near Mansion where they
lived on a farm for twenty-five years,
leaving there to come to their daLgh-
ter's home.
Mr.. Underberg is eighty-two years
old and Mrs. Underberg seventy eight.

perity or depression. Merchants and
manufacturers used the report and
found accurately in what locality it
was advisable to expand or retrench.
This investigation is the only one of
its kind, and is the only plan which
has ever been devised to give every
merchant an opportunity to compare
his record for the year with the aver
age Of his city, the average in his Fed
eral Reserve District, and with the av-
erage for the entire country in his par
ticular line.
Gin answering these questions no
one need feel that he is giving away
any business secrets. No names or
dollars-an d-cents figures are asked for.
All we want is percentages, and all in
formation given is held strictly conf
Dental
"a part of the great value Of this
work rests in the speed with which
the information is collected and the
figures tabulated. We will start to
collect this information Monday morn
ing, December 4th. We hope every
retailer in Kenosha will have his five
answers ready when we call. The re-
ports will be mailed from here before
midnight of December 9TH, and Mr.. Mac
Martin Of the Mac Martin Advertising
Agency of Minneapolis, chairman of the
committee, has promised to have the
complete tabulations and deductions for
the entire continent finished within $50
hours. Last year over a thousand in
vestigators gave their time to this work.
This year I am informed over two thou

in collecting the information from the

Minneapolis works on night and day

last deduction is made.
We want Kenosha represented on
these maps and charts as leading mar

representative merchants whom we have
selected will gladly answer the five sim
pie questions early Monday morning,
December 4th, so that the city will get
credit for the satisfactory and prosper

ale of FIVE million seals and the


DCJCHACGGSNTA fNTs-FNrAFNL~NNA &
accumulation of five million pennies
for continuing and extending the fight
against tuberculosis in Wisconsin is
the goal which has been set. With a
strong determination to regain for
Wisconsin the place which it lost to
New York last year for the first time
in the history of the national move
ment for financing the fight against
tuberculosis by the sale Of seals, the
campaign has been organized both
earlier and more extensively than in
preceding years.
Wisconsin must lead the states of
its class in the sale of Red Cross
Christmas seals. This is the slogan.
The large sale is made necessary both
by the increasing demands which are
made each year on the state association
and by the fact that never before in
the history Of the state campaign have
SO many communities been interested
in supporting health agencies for
which funds are required. In a large
number of cities, local associations or
committees affiliated with the state as
ISOLATION will retain half Of their seal
sale for the financing of local work.
In the majority of instances, the mon
ely will be devoted to the salary of a
school nurse. In some instances this
work is already established and in
others the 1916 sale will be used as a
means of securing the nursing service.
The mail sale, which was tried out
last year as an experiment, proved
such a success that at least twenty
cities in the state will use the plan
this year. 1t has been found that
business men especially appreciate the
convenience of the mail sales plan and
that in this way maximum of people
are reached in a minimum of time,
thus greatly facilitating the campaign
by personal solicitation.
In order to meet the expected de-
mand for seals, the Wisconsin associa-
tion has placed its order for 100000
seals. During last year s large sale,
it was found necessary to buy seals
from other states in order to meet de-
mands.

The Christian Endeavor Society of
the Congregational Church has invited
the Christian Endeavor societies of
every other church in the city to join
with it in 6 a. m. service in the
church, to be followed with break
fast in the church parlors.
Fourth of July sunrise parties are
not unusual but Thanksgiving sunrise
parties certainly could never have
been devised by any young people who
had not the strain of the Puritan in
their composition.

POLICE WONDER AT HIS GAME
Clever Salesman Who Offers Towels at
Low Cost Also Has Few Samples
of Dress Goods to Dispose Of
Towels Remain Undelivered.

There are a lot of women in Keno
sha who are puzzled and perplexed.
They want to know just what the par
ticular game of a man selling towels is,
He has made a lot of the residence
streets of the city and he has offered
real Irish linen towels at price so
low that the women could not book
their orders fast enough. The orders
were taken with the understanding
that deliveries are to be made in three
weeks. As yet no deliveries have been
made. At some places he offered large
sized Turkish towels at the low rate of
fifty cents a dozen Of course he had
a good story. He told the women who
rushed to book their orders that these
towels were a part of a consignment
shipped to some one somewhere which
had not been claimed and that they
had been turned over to him to be
disposed of at the best possible price
for "quick moving" The plans for
quick moving have been made pretty
well in Kenosha and it is certain that
several hundred women Sin the city
have sought to bat the I'll, c. L. by
buying of the peddler. None of the
towels have arrived as yet.
Men who sell towels in Kenosha are
unanimous in their, statement. ''It
Can It be Done. 1t is Just possible
that solution of the workings of the
salesman has been found in the fact
that at some Of the places he has dis
posed of merchandise for immediate
delivery and has secured the money for
the delivery of this merchandise. At
nearly every place where the sample
towels were shown and offered in dozen
lots at ridiculous low rate, the man
also brought out some other sort of
merchandise. There was not the deep
"cut in this merchandise and lot
of the women who ordered towels
bought this merchandise only to find
that they could have bought it for
considerable less in the stores right
here in Kenosha Some of the women
have ordered as high as a gross of the
neglected confscated towels and they
are planning to fill most Of their Christ
mas obligations by giving their friends
Irish linen towels or embroidered
Turkish towels for the bath, rooms
The attention of the police has been
called to the fact that the man is
working in the city. They have sought
him, not to find out whether he had
any towels other than the samples, but
to find whether or not he had a license
to dispose Of certain pieces Of dress
goods. They have a lurking fear that a
lot of women in Kenosha have been
stung by the fellow, but they are not
making any charges until they find him.
The prosperous conditions in Kenosha
have made the city happy hunting
ground for all sorts of agents and their
wares range all the way from a fifty
cent book to thousand dollar option
on oil lands. Of course, these PROPOSE
tions may all be good, but the people
are warned to keep an eye open for the
niger in the wood pile. = Most
trade wood piles have them and it is
probable that when man seeks to
give something for nothing he has a
real purpose. just for this reason, if
the towel man comes to your home
ask to see his city license before you
buy anything

LUKE HEADS new COMMITTEE
Sheriff Elect Hermann Makes Contract
With the County Board With $4,000
as Figures Salary to BE $500
for Coming Year.

Kenosha is to be the first county in
this section Of Wisconsin to have an
agricultural agent regularly employed
by the County Board and working I'M
der the direction Of a committee from
the board. just before noon this morn
ing the Board of Supervisors by vote
Of thirteen to four passed a resolution
providing for the employment Of such
an official and an appropriation of one
thousand dollars was added to the bud
gets of 1916 and 1917 in order to pro-
vide for the payment of the county s
share of maintaining the new office
The remaining cost will be paid by the
state. The board elected as an agricul-
tural committee Supervisors Luke,
Fleming and Bacon and this commit
tee will have the important task Of
selecting the man to take up the
work in Kenosha county. Tt is ex-
pected that man will be sent from
the College Of Agriculture so that
he can begin his work by the first
of the new year.
The members of the County Board
from the towns voted unanimously for
the employment Of the agricultural
agent and the four votes against
the plan were cast by Supervisors
Burg, s. Anderson, Roders and Elsen,
all of the city.
The action of the County Board puts
Kenosha county in the van guard Of
progressive counties Of the state in the
development Of the farming interests.
For several years the employment of
the agricultural agent has been CON
sidered. The resolution on which
the plan was finally adopted was
presented to the board by Supervisor
Luke of Wheatland.
