Money from st. Matthew's.

AS a consequence of the success of
the "Gift Shop and Baking Sale" held
at Guild Hall on last Wednesday after
noon material contribution has been
made to the Red Cross Christmas Fund
by the Ladies Aid Society of st. Mat
thew's Episcopal Church. The novel
function brought all and more than it's
most optimistic exploiters had hoped
for it. Something over three hundred
dollars was realized on the venture
and all of it has been given to the
treasury of the Kenosha county chap
ter. The money Will be used to buy
sweets for Sammies in connection with
the Christmas packets now in the
course of preparation at the downtown
headquarters. The Red Cross officials
are highly grateful for the donation
and are congratulating the "patriot-
esses" upon their loyalty and effic-
iency.

RED CROSS IN EVIDENCE.
Entertaining and Profitable Party Civ
en- Tuesday Evening by Miss Marie
Woods, GOT Dayton Street.

Miss Marie Woods proved a very en-
tertaining hostess to sixteen of her
friends Tuesday evening at Red
Cross party given at the home of her
aunt, Mrs. Anderson, GOT Dayton street.
The rooms of the home were very beau
tifully decorated in the insignia of the
cause of humanity and suggested the
Red Cross work which furnished enter
tainment for the evening. At the close
of the work, which netted a good sup
ply Of finished articles for the Kenosha
chapter, luncheon meatless, of course
was served and the guests departed
convinced that duty and pleasure can
now be mingled in a marvelously en-
tertaining way. This will probably
lead to number of Red Cross parties
among the attendants on Tuesday even
ing.

MANY INVITES FOR SAILOR BOYS
Twenty Recruits from Naval Training
Station Already Have Names in
Pot for THANKSGIVING

Kenosha mothers have taken kindly
to the suggestion to act as mother
to some recruit at the Naval Training
Station on Thanksgiving Day and be-
fore noon today nine Kenosha homes
had opened their doors for the enter
tainment of twenty of the boys from
the station on Thanksgiving Day.
Postmaster German s telephone was
tinking every few minutes as some
other patriotic woman announced her
intention to do her part TO welcome
the Naval Training Station boys to
Kenosha on Thanksgiving Day. ~
want two of them was the usual re-
quest to the postmaster, but some
motherly woman wanted to take a
whole company. II have two boys off
with the army and / know that T
would appreciate it if some good kind
motherly woman would have them
round to the house for Thanksgiving
Day. was the comment of one woman
at least three Of the boys as her guests
on the "Turkey Day. Many of the
hostesses declared that they wanted
the boys to come to Kenosha and
spend the entire day with them.
They declared that they would have
both dinner and supper in honor Of
their guests and that they would
provide entertainment for them dur
inp +bn afternoon
II expect that more than hundred
Kenosha people will be hosts to the
recruits two weeks from tomorrow, -
said the postmaster this morning. cit
is going like wild fire. I have already
sent letter to Commandant Moffett
asking that he make arrangements to
have the boys come to Kenosha. We
have told him that the Kenosha moth
ers want the boys who are so far from
home that it would be impossible for
them to go home for the day. The
plans for the assembly of the boys and
the detailing them to different homes
will be worked out in detail some
time before Thanksgiving Day and
I know that we will be able to
provide a place for all the boys
who want to come
If you want to be one of the patrio-
tic homes to entertain the men from
the station send in your name to the
postmaster right away so that he will
be able to see just how many detach-
ments of the sailors he is going to be
able to take care of.

Good But Not Enough.

Despite the fact that the past week
at the local work-rooms has been the
most successful in the history of the
chapter the 700 sets Of knitted articles
apportioned to Kenosha are not yet
ready for shipment. This means that
immediate work is necessary on a scale
much larger than has heretofore been
attempted in Kenosha. The need is for
more workers who can knit rapidly and
who are willing to devote a great deal
of time to war-work for the next two
weeks. It is highly important that
people with yarn out should complete
their sets as soon as possible. Sweaters,
ers, wristlets, scarves and socks must
be ready to send to France within the
next two weeks if they are to be of real
use in safeguarding the soldiers against
an early winter. Mrs. Terrell is doing
wonderful work in completing socks
but is in need of more helpers if she is
to finish this service in the time
allowed her by the government.

camp or on the firing line. It is little
thing but it will mean great deal to
the Sammies- possibly the difference
between a disgruntlement that threat
ems complete defeat and a fighting
morale that insures victory. Kenoshans
who are patriotic enough to volunteer
for this important service are asked
to see George Greiner or Walter Ham
mond and enlist at once for service
with the Soldiers Pals.

For Efficiency in Service.

AS a result, of willing and efficient
service in providing Red Cross supplies
the residents at Pennoyer Sanitarium
and Kemper Hall have been granted
special auxiliaries by the local chapter.
This makes it possible for the patriots
at the hospital and school to work more
extensively than they have thus far
done and without the rigid supervision
exercised at the work-rooms. It is
thought that this action will stimulate
even greater enthusiasm at these cen
ters of service and by SO doing increase
the city's contributions to the cause
of Country and Humanity.

tingents at Waco and Battle Creek.

fully accepted by officials in charge of
the Christmas packets.
