by oliver HEREFORD.

Johnny get the mon, get the mon, get
the mon,
Help to down the Hun, down the Hun,
down the Hun,
Money talks, let money shout
Turn your pockets inside outi
Hurry, buy bond, buy bond, buy a
bond.
Help them over yond', over yond', over
yond',
Let them hear the Eagles scream
Over herei Give a cheer!
Tell the lads over there not to fear;
That the ranks are swelling, and the Scouts
are yelling,
And the bonds are selling, over here;
Never fear, never fear,
We are all on the job over here
Tell the Kaiser he'll be wiser
When he meets the troops we're raising
for him here.
Johnny, dig the dough, dig the dough,
dig the dough;
Let your dollars go, don't be slow, let
em go;
Help to give the Teutons fits,
Put the Kaiser on the fritz:
Make the Teutons roar, then some more,
then some more!
Help to win the war, win the war. win

Do your bit the bond to float:
Help to get the Kaisers goat!

THE RISE OF AMERICA.
DR.. Halsey Reviews the Process by
Which the United States Became
An international Power.

The romantic series of events by
which the United States has risen from
few struggling colonies along the
Atlantic seaboard to mighty power
shaping the destiny of nations and civ
ilizations-that was the thrilling story
told by DR.. Halsey of Lake Forest Uni
versity in the third of his series of lee
lures, delivered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. z. G. Simmons on Monday evening
Beginning with the immortal Monroe
doctrine he discussed in succession
American intervention in Mexico in '67,
the settlement of the Alabama Claims
following the Civil war, the Boxer mas
sacres in China, the Venezuelan en-
broglio in the nineties the Spanish
American war, and the present conflict
for the freedom Of the seas and the,
recognition Of sfneutls lIzaiion. = In alt
OF these incidents ne demonstrated that
TIE United States was moving slo VIZ
but surely toward a position of inter
national power, based upon principles
of arbitration rather than war, and
standing steadfastly for the freedom of
nations and the rights of Man, Grip
pingly interesting and dazzlingly acute
the address was easily the most modern
and popular of the series and convinced
those who were privileged to hear it
that DR.. Halsey was an historian and
speaker of the first magnitude.

Hospital Supplies.

This work is conducted under the di-
rection of committee of fourteen
women and has been exceedingly active
under the leadership of Mrs. E. G.
Theirs.
Mrs. FL. B. Robinson, recently elected
to succeed Mrs. Theirs, is extremely
anxious to increase the activities and
i'll view of the work room at headquar-
tiers being open daily from a. m. to 5
D. M, all women who can sew are urged
to assist in making garments for the
hospitals. The articles required are
numerous, but an unlimited supply Of
convalescent gowns, surgical shirts, pa
jamas and hospital bed shirts are
urgently required. During the month
of September there were shipped to the
Central Division at Chicago 721 gar
ments, and since the work commenced
up to October LIST the total number of
garments shipped ehceeds 1850. With
more effort the work can easily be
doubled It should be noted that where
it is not practical to sew at the work
rooms arrangements can be made to
take the work home.
Miss Hahn, who has charge of the
cutting, will cheerfully assist any per-
son desiring to work either at head
quarters or at home. AS the garments
have to be passed upon by a competent
Inspector it is necessary that the neces-
sary requirements be understood.
While many of the women's clubs
and societies have shown generous in
terest in this work, much more can be
done and it is urgently required that
the several organized associations ar
range to give as much assistance as
possible in making garments for the
patients in the military hospitals of the
Allies. If the war is continued our
own troops will soon be under fire, the
casualties will be numerous and in an
ticipation of these losses no time should
be lost in preparing for their comfort
while convalescing.

NOW FIRST CLASS SEAMAN.
Casimir Rochnowski, Kenosha Sailor,
Receives Promotion by Result of
Recent Examination.

Kenosha Jackies are making good.
This was demonstrated again this morn
ing when the parents of Casimir Roch-
nowski, 271 North Sheridan Road, re-
ceived a letter from their son, Casimir
RochnoWski, in which he relates how
he has now passed the examination and
has been ranked as a first class seaman
The letter is from Somewhere on
board the U. S. S. "New jersey and
states in addition that the writer likes
" the navy better every day." The
only intimation which passed the cen
sors that might suggest the location of
the ship is the closing request when the
sailor says, IF you have any more of
those homemade socks, send them along
because it is cold down here y Young
Rochnowski was one of the first of Ke-
nosha young men to answer the call to
the colors, having enlisted the first of
April He is now only Is years old and
for this reason his recent promotion is
more remarkable. When in Kenosha
he was employed at the J. A. Winberg
garage as truck driver and the knowl-
edge of machinery gained in this err
perience has been of inestimable value
to him as a seaman. The promoted
jacky has many friends in Kenosha
who will rejoice that he has received
recognition so early In his career as a
guardian of the flag.

ADD MONEY TO SERVICE.
Kenosha Soldiers Not Content With
Offering Services on the Altar
of Their Country.

Not content with offering service to
their country, the eight Kenosha boys,
who are members of the Racine Am
bulance Corps No. 2, have backed up
this support by subscribing to the
Liberty Loan and subscribing literally
for them from the salary which they
receive from the government. They
have agreed to buy of the second Lib
erty Loan eight hundred dollars worth
Of bonds. The company now located
at Camp Macarthur in Waco, Texas
has a splendid record for its support
of the bond issue and the Kenosha
members to man have entered their
names for at least one hundred dol
lar bond each. The Kenosha bows who
have thus added sacrifice to service are
Albert J. Elsen, Louis M. Metten, Fred
A. Scholey, William N. Plumber,
Louis J. Pitseh, Harold W. Knoedler,
Lawrence J. Shovel and Edward j..
MencefeldoWski.

MOTHERS BE CAUTIOUS.
Scarlet Fever Spreading With Great
: Rapidity In the City With Twenty
Eight Cases Under Quarantine.

A personal call is being made to the
mothers of Kenosha today to aid in pre-
venting a further spread of scarlet
fever in the city. The report Of the
Health department today showed that
there are twenty eight cases of scarlet
fever under quarantine in Kenosha.
Most of the cases are among children
who have attended the Lincoln and the
Columbus schools but vagrant cases are
bein greported from other portions Of
the city. Thus far there have been no
deaths from the disease and while it is
admitted that the most of the cases are
of a light FORM these light form
cases often develop into a very serious
epidemic. Mothers Of children are urged
to notify the family physician at the
first appearance of illness among their
children that they may be able to aid in
preventing the spread of the disease.
Do not seek to avoid quarantine but
protect th9 children Of your neighbors
by insisting on proper quarantines even
If they affect your own home.

NO sLACKERs AT PARIS.
John Spartz Sells $500 Worth of Lib
erty Bonds Before Breakfast in
Outlying Settlement

"There are no siackers in Paris. [
sold $4,000 worth of bonds be-
fore breakfast today. Everything
looks good and and IN sure our little
town viii do its part. -
With these words John Spartz, town
chairman of Paris, informed E. T.
O'Brien, chairman of the subscription
committee for the second Loberty Loan,
of his success in his first half hour 8
work in selling government bonds.
Realizing that fFthe early bird gets
the worm he was on the job at sun
rise and easily persuaded his break
fastless neighbors to start the day right
by buying Liberty bond. The results
achieved speak we'll for his patriotism
as well as for his salesmanhip and
guarantee liberal subscription from
the town of Paris.
1T surprising" said Mr.. O'Brien
In comment on the message, chow
much can be done in such little time
and all because the people of the
county have realized that the war is
right and are ready to fight to finish. y

PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM
Feminine Financiers Show Enthusiasm
and Efficiency-R. E. Kaiser Makes
Excellent Speech Ward Chairmen
Are Appointed and Approved.

That women can be practical as well
as patriotic was perfectly demonstrated
on Monday afternoon when feminine
representatives of six wards in the city
met at the Chamber of Commerce rooms
and completed arrangements to sell
Liberty Bonds to the fairer sex in Ke-
nosha. Enthusiastic end energetic they
disposed of business with efficiency and
despatch and proved conelusively that
they were ready and able to raise their
quota for the second Liberty Loan
Mrs i. M. Theirs, chairman of the Lib
erty Loan committee for the Woman Is
League, was the moving spirit in the
conference and with the aid of r. r.
Kaiser ably presented the various prob
lens connected with the sale of bonds.
Mr.. Kaiser was the leading speaker
Of the afternoon. In a few well chosen
words he discussed the necessity for
supporting the Liberty Loan and the
most effective means of securing large
subscriptions. He made deep impress
sion ON his hearers and persuaded them
that they were attempting task at
once patriotic and humane.
"The war hash II hit me as hard as
it has millions of Others he declared,
"but / wonder sometimes if appre-
ciate the fact that it has hardly come
my way. If brave mothers can loan
their only sons--if loyal wives can loan
their husbands---if little children can
loan their fathers-can hesitate to
loan few of my dollarsg Can / per-
NIT my family and myself to be pointed
out after the war--can let it be scorn-
fully said that they wouldn It even
buy United States government bonds to
help us wine No, that is 8 stigma that
none of us care to have-a distinction
that brands us as men and women who
had the chance but failed to do the lit
tie that we could for freedom and de-
mocracy."
Mr.. Kaiser Is conclusion was especial.
ly forceful. "a Liberty Loan certif-
cate" he said, "has the greatest face
value of any security on earth. There s
only one thing better than a Liberty
Bond and that IS two or even three. If
you have one, go it one better, and buy
one moreno, buy two or three more
or as many as you can with the money
you have on hand or can borrow from
your banker. 1t will cost little but
1t will pay more and at the same time
aid the greatest republic in the world
to defend its rights against the tyranny
OF Prussian despotism."
Following Mr.. Kaiser 8 talk names
of ward chairmen for the Forthcoming
canvass were presented by Mrs. George
Eddy, chairman of the organization
committee of the Woman IS League, and
properly approved by Mrs. Theirs and
the delegates at the meeting. The ros-
ter, as finally completed contained the
names of the following people, who will
now appoint their own solicitors and
begin their personal calls upon the
women of Kenosha: First ward. Miss
Mary Langan; second ward, Mrs.
Douglas Newell; third ward, Mrs.
George M. Bennett; fourth ward, Mrs.
