Young Men Provided Tent.

workers found some good people who
said that they would be glad to have him
at their country home for the summer.
where he could work around the place
for his board, except that there was no
place for him to sleep. Then some young
men who were interested in Friendship
House were drawn into the game and they
contributed tent for him.
THAT solved the problem for the
summer. but when the fall came and the
invalid returned to town, while he was
much improved, he was still in need
Of fresh air and not yet strong enough
for real work.
80 the tent was set up in the back
yard down there at Friendship House,
and for several months longer served
as a home for the sick man. who
earned his board of good nourishing
food by tending the furnace. making
such flower beds as never were before
at Friendship House. and doing nu-
merous other useful things now
greatly improved in health, he is re-es-
tablshed with his family.

It's Usefulness Not Ended.

THE story of the tent does not END
there, however" he continued. This
summer mother and five children
wanted and needed very much to go
to Camp Goodwill. but the Oldest boy
was thirteen years old. year too old
for the camp He could not be left at
home alone, as the father worked at
night. It looked for awhile as though
they would all have to lose their va
cation. Friendship House was appealed
to to help solve the difficulty. and there
was the tent, an opportunity TOT VIII
liam to camp out, too, and be well cared
for. So the mother with the four chill
dren had a good vacation, free from
anxiety. and you may be sure william
enioved the fun of tent all to him-

Future of the Nation.

The future OF this nation depends
upon the self-control and loyalty of its

loyalty felt in every throb of the heart
can you become true citizens

people which does not need to be

Il like to think that in the days to
come America may interpret the
thought Of the world. / like to think
that the only thing that disturbs Amer
ica are not things which interfere
with her ambitions but with her SYM

Il like to think that when it comes
to the settlement of the present war
we shall be able to assist in interpret

other nations.

things against our ideals" he contin-

us show that we are not interested

Let US show that we want no boun-

Urges Loyalty to America.

Speaking at new citizens" meet
ing last night, the President declared
that foreign-born citizens of the United
States should put their American al
legiance above all others. He praised
the ideals that bring new citizens to
the United States, and outlined his be-
lief that in the determination of the
future Of the world after the present
war America will play an important
part.
A demonstration lasting more than
five minutes greeted the President at
the new citizens meeting. Men stood
on chairs and cheered. waving their
hats. The President stood and bowed
again and again. The applause ended
when clergyman. began an invocation.
The preliminary speakers were con-
stantly interrupted by shouts of will

ed, some distinctions have been drawn.
A man or woman who becomes a citi-

try are expected to put their new al
legiance above every other allegiance

HAVE ANNUAL FRoLIC.
Supervisor Tobin of Pleasant Prairie
is the stGoat' in Annual Fun Max
ing of County Board.

Pat Tobin, genial member of the
county board of supervisors from the
town of Pleasant Prairie was stuck for
the cigars Tuesday afternoon when the
members of the county, board pulled
off their annual frolic. Tobin, who is
considered something of a joker him
self, was the goat at the annual
frolic. He staggered away from the
court house (not staggered) after the
meeting Of the board on Tuesday wear
ing rather handsome seal cap and a
good black overcoat. It was admitted
that Tobin had good seal cap and a
fair overcoat but it happened that the
ones he wore were the property of
Thomas Fleming, supervisor from Sa-
lem. Tobin found himself in durance
vile in short order when Sheriff Stahl
landed him on a charge of petty lar
ceny. He, was saved the ignominy of
going to Jail by the fact that Judge
Randall was in the court room and be-
fore the court the luckless Tobin was
hailed in short order AS he was en-
titled to jury of his peers six mem
bers of the county board were called as
a jury and with Judge Randall presid-
ing Tobin was duly tried. The jury
just as duly retired and brought sin the
verdict. Pat knew what it was before
it was read to him and he had the
cigar store on the telephone to settle
the fine and costs when the jury fled
in. District Attorney Drury looked
after the prosecution of the case and
John T. Yule the veteran of the second
ward was there to defend the Pleasant
Prairie supervisor. 1t was some trial
and some frolic.

STORM FLOODS SIDEWALKS
Little Children Wade Through Water
Ankle Deep on Way to School and
Many Are Sent Home to Avoid
Being Endangered by Wet Feet.

The weather man played into the
hands OF the doctors in Kenosha Tues
day night when the storm of snow
turned to sleet and then to rain and
this morning the walks throughout the
city were well nigh impossible. In
lot Of places thin coating of the ice
and snow covered pitfall Of water
IN some cases from six to eight inches
deep and hundreds of workmen and
working girls In Kenosha this morning
went to work with their feet soaking
wet. In lot of places where no
efforts were made to clean away the
Ice and slush from the sidewalks they
were deep in slush and water and the
early pedestrians over the streets had
no chance but to wade where the water
was in some places above their ankles.
There will probably be lot more
grippe, said one Of the doctors this
morning. wet feet are just about
as good a thing to get one ready for
grippe as anything [ know Of and a
lot of them stood about the factories
and stores this morning with soaked
feet Little children going to school
had the same trouble and in many
rooms children were sent home on ac-
count Of the fact that their feet were
soaked with the slush and water. The
appearance Of the walks were decep-
tive and the children who left home
without rubbers and leggings were all
pretty wet when they got to the schools.
The storm which was the first Of
the kind of the winter did not inter-
fere badly with The operation Of the
Kenosha utilities. The telephone com
panv reported but ten lines out of or
der this morning and even the country
lines were working. The street rail
way company was vigorous in fighting
the storm and with the snow pillow at
work on the lines they were kept open
during the night and the early trips.

trouble. The storm brought a lot Of

CLAIMS TOWN rs LIABLE.
Alvin Marsh Serves Notice That He
Will Claim Damages from the
Town of Pleasant Prairie.

Sheriff Stahl this morning served a
formal notice on the town officers of
the town of Pleasant Prairie in the
claim Of Alvin Marsh against the town
for damages to himself and his auto
mobile as a result of an accident on the
night Of December 81, last. In his
formal notice Marsh claims that his in
jury and the damage to his automobile
was directly due to the fact that the
town officials had not made proper pre-
cautions to protect the new concrete
portion of the Geneva road. He as
serts that the lack of guard rail at
the point in question made it impossi-
BILE for him to prevent the accident.
No amount Of damages is stated in the
formal notice. The demand on the
town is interesting on account of the
fact that similar defects are to be
found on other roads throughout the
county. The hearing of the claim will
probably be take.l up at the next meet
ing of the town board.

peal. Under the holding of the SUI
preme court the city of Milwaukee
must pay twenty-five percent of the
cost of the elevation of tracks in that

RACINEMENURGEA
Members of Local Board Seem to Be of
Opinion That School Would Be of Lit
tie Value Located at Union Grove
Await Attorneys Decision.

The fate of the proposed joint Ra-
cine-Kenosha county training school is
in the balance today and the members
of the county board gave up nearly the
entire day to the discussion of the pro
ject. While it is not thought that Ke-
nosha county will join with Racine
county in the movement considerable
time was given over to listening to the
arguments in favor of the joint county
school SIS made by Superintendent Zim-
hermann and the members of the board
Of trustees of the Racine county school
The Kenosha county board members
raised two big objections to the plan
The first is that the location at Union
Grove was so inaccessible that the ma
jority of the teachers of Kenosha coun-
ty had shown no enthusiasm in favor
of the school, The other was the abso-
lutte lack of way to withdraw from
the plan should it prove unsatisfactory
after two years trial It was adj
mitted that the plan might be helpful
in discovering the need of such school
in the two counties. Attorney George
W. Waller, one Of the trustees of the
Racine county school, addressed the
Kenosha board on this subject this
morning and he stated frankly that he
doubted the possibility of one of the
counties withdrawing from the agree
ment at the end Of the two years with
out the action being taken with the
consent of both parties. He declares
that in his examination of the law he
had found no provision for the disso-
luton of such a county partnership.
He urged however that the two coun-
ties should unite not only in the train
ing school plan but also in other plans
for the maintenance of institutions.
Principal Denny of Racine, another
member Of the board of trustees, spoke
especially of the fact that this was the
last one of the schools to be opened
under the appropriation now made by
tho state legislature.
County Superintendent Zimmerman
reviewed at some length his arguments
in regard to the school made before the
board at the November session and in
sisted that the cost would be decidedly
small for Racine county and just half
as great for Kenosha county.
Supervisor Willis Epson, the chair
man of the special committee Of the
Kenosha board, which has looked into
the matter, asserted that he was not
favorable to the school. He declared
that he had made quiet investigation
throughout the county and had found
that many people who might have boys
and girls to send to the school would
be just as willing to send them to Mil
waukee or some other city as to send
them in round about way to Union
Grove.
There was a strong Sentiment on the
board in favor of having some county
aid for prospective teachers from this
county who might desire to attend the
Union Grove school
The matter was still under consider
alton of the board this afternoon and
it may be laid over until later in the
week.
