EXPECT 200 TO MAKE TRIP
Committee Of the Chicago Organization
Here on Wednesday Looking Over
Ground and Making Plans for All
Day Outing in Next Two Weeks.

later in the month The Wisconsin
Society Of Chicago, composed of Iun-
dreds Of Badgers who have become
prominent in the business and profess
sional life of Kenosha, has taken no.
tice Of Kenosha and committee of the
leading members of the organization
was in Kenosha on Wednesday after.
noon laying plans for the organization
to visit Kenosha in body.
The Wisconsin Society has evils
| consin outing every year. The mem
| bers have been going to Milwaukee
and Whitefsh Bay, to GAINESVILLE and
| Lacrosse, but this year they are COM
| ing to Kenosha. The rapid growth Of
| Kenosha has been watched by former
| Badgers in Chicago and the committee
believes now that the members have
been overlooking bet for some time
and that Kenosha is the real logical
place for the holding of the annual
outing. Somewhere about the twenti-
eth of this month the members of the
| society are coming up to Kenosha.
They are coming by special train and
automobile and in boats on the lake
and the outing is going to be held on
the links Of the Kenosha Country Club
if plans of this kind can be worked
out. A lot of the Chicago Badgers like
to play golf. All Of them like to loaf
in comfort and after going to a lot
of places in the state the committee in
charge of this years outing decided
that there was no better place in the
Badger domain to play golf than on
the links of the Kenosha Country Club
and that If the members wanted to
bask in the sunshine and be famed by
the lake breeze, there was no place bet
ter for basking and tanning than the
wide porches of the Country Club
home. Members of the committee who
played golf here on Wednesday de-
clared that it was all settled and that
the Wisconsin Society of Chicago
would make the "Old Home Pilgrim
age" to Kenosha this year. This will
mean the coming of lot Of men who
have helped make Chicago famous and
some of them have not visited Keno
sha since the days that it was South
port.
Many men who have gone to Chicago
from Kenosha are now members of the
Wisconsin Society and these men have
for years strongly urged that Kenosha
be the destination for the annual out
ing of the organization. The program
for the day has not as vet been out
lined but it will provide for a golf
tournament in which it is expected
that there will be as many entries as
are usually found in a state tourna-.
ment. Then there will be banquet
and joy fest at the clubhouse in the
evening at which some prominent ex-
Badger will be expected to act as

Mayor Charles Fl. Pfennig declared
on Wednesday night, 1t will be one
| of our greatest pleasures to entertain
the members of the Wisconsin Society
It only for day. We want them to
see the best city in their native state
and it may be that some of them will
want to stay week or just keep on
staying indefinitely
Many Kenosha men have been &C.
tive at dinners given by the Wisconsin
Society IN Chicago and these men are
going to be active in the entertainment
of the Badgers in Kenosha. It is ex-
pected that no less than two hundred
of the members of the society will
make the trip to Kenosha. The pro-
gram for the outing will be announced
to the members of the society within
the next few days.
