lister to the boys who were fighting the
battles of the country. But these thou
sands were but representatives of tens
of thousands who remained at home
and rendered service by taking up the
work where the boys had left it.
Those of you who are older know
how soldiers aid societies sprang up in
every village and hamlet; how women
scraped lint, rolled bandages, knit
stockings, and wrote letters by the
bushel to the boys at the front to make
the condition little bit more endur-
able. After the war was over, these
societies disbanded thinking that their
work was over. Not so, however. In
1866 the Grand Army of the Republic
was organized in Decatur, I'll. Tt did
not take them long to find out that 1t
| was no. well for man to be alone.
They asked the women to meet them
in Denver, Colo, and in 1883, while
Paul Van Dervort was commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, fifty eight women responded to the
invitation and then and there organ
lied what is today the largest, the
grandest, most charitable and patriotic
order of women on earth, the Women IS
Relief Corps, auxiliary to the Grand
Army of the Republic.
0no of the objects of the Women s
Relief Corps is to maintain true allegi-
ance to The United States of America;
to inculcate lessons of patriotism and
love of country among our children and
in the communities in which we live
to encourage the spread of universal
liberty and equal rights to all. All
this and more we offer upon the shrine
of the Grand Army of the Republic by
whom we were called into existence.

complishment will make the way easy
for another accomplishment. With
you fighting for one thing, me fighting
for another, and Professor Trenary for
another, we can t gain anything We
must have the Kiwanis Club, the Cham
Der of Commerce, the City Council, the
Red Cross, the women IS clubs, etc., to
help in one movement if we are going
to accomplish a definite aim and get
results.
There isn't anything that such
bodies of men cannot accomplish if
they go at it with a definite aim.
They stand in the arteries of trade,
they reach the pulse of the people ev-
cry day, and they have a chance to
boost and chance to knock. An army
of knockers might not be really
valuable thing to town, but if we
knock the right way, we will accom-
plish what we aim for.
Now, gentlemen, the plea want
to make to you is for definite aim.
Set out line and keep straight to that
one thing, and If you can start a move
ment of that kind in Kenosha, you will
have justified the existence of the Xxi.
WanTs Club and you will make it the
greatest thing in the life of Kenosha. =

Make kidnapping Capital Crime.

The chubby fingers Of baby Keet ex-
tended in mute appeal from the aban-
bonded we'll on the Crenshaw farm out
in the Ozark mountains, are making a
mute appeal to the people Of civilized
world to make kidnapping a capital
crime. The Wisconsin legislature is
still in session and even though In
Wisconsin the death penalty is not ex-
acted for murder, bill should be
passed making death the penalty for
any man who kidnaps a child.
The horror of this crime of the
Ozarks has shocked a civilized world.
Men of Missouri with the warm blood
of the mountains in them are to be con
graduated that hey did not lynch
suspects" but the men Of Missouri
are expected to follow relentlessly
these men who were guilty of the death
of baby Keet and when they get them
there should be no doubt as to their
punishment. The only question should
be of guilt. No form of punishment
could be too terrible for men who
would take the life of an innocent
child rather than give up the demand
for money. The fate of baby Keet is
determined. Hundreds of mothers and
fathers throughout the country have
sat in agony for weeks awaiting the
return of their children, others have
gone bowed to early graves because
they never knew the fate of kid
mapped loved ones.
Men of Wisconsin demand for this
state the adequate punishment of kid
napers. The only adequate punishment
is death. If legislatures of all the
states can not be brought to pass such
legislation kidnapping should be made
an offense against the federal code
with provision for the death penalty
under the federal supervision. The en-
tire civilized world has heart beats in
sympathy with the stricken family in
Springfield and these heart beats must
be crystalized into legislation which
win make the crime of kidnapping
one which will have but one penalty
the death penalty.

to sail south for about fifty miles.
Had to Fly High.
in order to cross the high noun
tains it was necessary to travel high,
averaging more than 1000 feet. From
this altitude it was impossible to de-
tect very strong north wind which
l encountered in the mountains.

about thirty minutes on this course I
could see distinctly through haze a
large body of water thought to be
the Salton sea- The only mao of this
section | had showed Salton sea
much too far south so this confirmed
my belief that was right. As my gas
was running low my only course was
to keep going farther south in order
to strike Calexico. Bishop thought
this body of water to be the Salton
sea, so both of US were satisfied we
were following the correct course.
Neither Colonel Bishop nor myself
could possibly inquire on the Nr1ft OF
the machine. AS it was hazy it was
impossible to see we'll enough to pick
out objects clearly. The strong north
wind also made our rate of travel
much faster than was figured on.

search fo- the Southern Pacific rail-
way, which | knew to be near Salton

The landing was almost completed
when the aircraft struck soft ground
and the plane tipped up. This was at

eminent Assessment,
TENTATIVE DRAFT OF BILL

Washington, Jan. 20.--A tentative
draft of the administration revenue
bill was completed today by house
ways and means subcommittee. 1t
will be laid before democratic mem
bers OF the full committee Monday
and caucus Of the house democrats
may be called some time next week
to approve it as a party measure
The bill proposes to raise $23o,000,-
600 from tax on excess profits OF
business and increased rates on in
heritances, and $2S9,000,000 from a
bond issue.
May Increase Maximum.
A provision may be incorporated
later to increase to $300.000,000 the
maximum amount of certificates of i'll
debtedness which may be issued TO
tide over the treasury until the new
taxes come in.
The treasury now has authority to
issue not exceeding $200,000,000 OF
these certificates limited to year
and to 3 per cent interest.
In levying the excess profits tax OF
8 per cent upon all profits of corpor
ations and co-partnerships in excess
of 8 per cent of capitalization the bill
defines capitalization as including
actual money paid in, actual property
used or owned, and all surplus and

nual profits of $1,000 or less would be
exempt as would profits derived from
agriculture or from solely personal
services such as the income of pro-
fessional men.
Taxed Heavily Enough
The subcommittee framing the bill,
which comprised Representatives
Kitchin, Rainey and Hull, exempted
agriculture on the ground that the
farmer already is taxed heavily
enough, and that it is impossible to
tell how much farmer has invested
in his business.

STARVING AYIATORS
FOUND IN DESERT
Missing Army Airmen Rescued
200 Miles South of Border
In the Wilds of Sonora.
NO WATER FOR FOUR DAYS

Wellton, Ariz., Jan. 20-Lieutenant
Colone! Harry G. Bishop and Lieu
tenant w. A. Robertson, missing
army aviators. exhausted from walk
ing four days in the wilds Of Sonora,
Mex. without food or water, were
found yesterday more than 200 miles
south Of the border by a civilian
searching party from Wellton.
Robertson was brought here today
by the searchers. Bishop, too weak
to walk, was left in charge of four
searchers in the Rosario mountains,
where he was found last night at 10
o'clock.
Supply Of Food Short.
Two sandwiches and two oranges
each was all the food the men had
tasted since they left the North Island
aviation base at San Diego, January
10 on their fight. Robertson told the
searchers.
Water, which they took from the
radiator Of the aeroplane after they
landed on the east coast Of the Gulf
Of California, was exhausted four
days ago, Robertson said They had
tasted none since, he told the
searchers.
Robertson was found yesterday fol-
lowing the automobile tracks. He was
following the base of the ella noun
tains. 200 miles south OF the border.
He directed the searching party to
the Rosario mountains. thirty miles
farther south, where he said he left
Bishop the day before.
He had been travelling alone for
the last twenty-four hours, he said.
Bishop had become exhausted and
was unable to walk.
Leaving Robertson in charge OF
two OF the searchers, other members
of the party passed southwark and
found Bishop lying on the ground in
mountain pass. He was unable to
talk and barely able to recognize the
searchers.
First Humans Seen.
Robertson said the members of the
searching party were the first humans
he had seen since he landed. He was
unable to give definite information as
to the district where they landed, but
thought it was $50 miles or more
south of the Arizona border.
After his arrival here Robertson at
tempted to talk over the long distance
telephone but he was too weak.
Members Of the party who took
charge of Bishop are expected to ar
rive here tomorrow. The searchers
said neither of the men was delirious
when found.
The propeller of their airplane was
broken, Robertson said, when they
made landing about 1890 p. M
Wednesday, January 10. Enough
gasoline for thirty minutes fight re-
NAMED in the tank, he said.
The aviators remained with the air
plane until 4:30 that afternoon and
then abandoned it, starting across the
desert toward the mountains and
heading north. They drained gal
lon oil can which they carried and
filled with water from the radiator of
their airplanet This they carried
with them.
Robertson gave his story in detail
tonight to representative of the AS
sociated Press as follows:
