nosha Will Be on the Program.
(From Wednesdays Daily

Tomorrow IS Thanksgiving Day and
it is going to be generally observed
in Kenosha. Stores and factories will
close and business be generally sus-
pended during the entire day. 1t is
going to be day of happy family re-
unions and hundreds of sons and daugh-
tiers came in this afternoon from other
cities to spend the day at the old home
with the members of the family.
The high cost of living is not going
to interfere with the observance Of the
day in many homes in Kenosha, but
with the turkey up about the forty
cent mark and nearly everything else
in proportion it is expected that lot
of Kenosha people will content them
selves with eating their Thanksgiving
dinner in the hotels and restaurants of
the city and the managers OF these
places are making preparations to
have the largest crowds in their
history tomorrow.
Uncle Sam is observing the day just
little different than ever before this
year and there will be no delivery
of mail from the Kenosha postoffce.
Mails will be dispatched from the
Office as usual

Road Race in Early Morn.
The annual road race under the aus
pieces Of the Kenosha Retailers Asso-
citation is to take place at nine O'Clock
in the morning and with a fast field of
thirteen entries for the annual mara
thon it is certain to prove decidedly
attractive to the big crowd of people
which will be out to see it. With fair
weather it is expected that no less than
five thousand people will watch the
annual contest for the splendid trop-
HES offered. Although Elmer Lucas,
the winner of the race last year, is con-
sidered something of favorite, there
may be big surprise in the race and
one of the dark horses get away
with the main trophy.
Turkey day without football game
would have something lacking. The
football game this year is between the
Kenosha High school team and the
team of the Evanston Academy. The
two teams are evenly matched and it
is going to prove a great settler for
the turkey dinner. The game will be
played at the north side field

fering special programs for Thursday
afternoon and it is expected that these
programs will appeal to thousands in
