There is no business right now so
serious as the nation S business. Just
on this account everv man in Kenosha
who has been educated at the expense
of the city and state, is due to pay a
little interest on that education by of
fering himself for service in the of
ficers reserve This is patriotism plus
excellent Judgment and that makes an
ideal combination for any one who
wants to be a good citizen.

Sunday night when Fred Dayton re-
turned to his home on Exchange street
he found that he had been visited by
providers. The desks and sideboard had
been ransacked but nothing of value
was taken The providers, who were
evidently boys, were in search of money
and bothered nothing else.

With flags flying over them, the
merry whir of Whizzing power sewing
machines about them and with an
earnestness which showed how deeply
interested they are, nearly twenty
women started the work of the Red
Cross branch IS supply department this
morning in their headquarters, with
Miss O'Donnell cutting out and plan
ming the garments sewed upon.
Mrs. A. I'll. Lanse whose efficient
work for the French Front Wounded
committee has been Of greatest value
in that organization, was the first
woman to arrive this morning after the
head of the branch, Mrs. e. G. THEIRS
Next came the Mines. Oscar SLIDER
schmidt, Frank G. Isermann and Fred
Schroeder, followed almost Immediate
" by Miss Julia Allen, Mrs. Fred Per-
kins and others.
Work Goes Ahead Rapidly.
Facilely and deftly Miss O'Donnell s
scissors shipped out pajamas and
shirts, keeping up with the demand for
sewing on the part of the women. And
as fast as the bolts of cloth took
definite garment-form they were
snatched up by the eager seamstresses,
basted and then turned over to the
operators of the power machines who
rapidly ran up the seams, and Lol
while one looked; pajamas appeared
before the eyes where was only striped
bingham before. It is believed that
this aftrnoon many more will be en-
gagged in the work than this morning,
for as every housekeeper knows, Mon
day morning is : bad day to cut loose
from home ties, even to do one S pa
triotic duty and go sewing for the sol
diers.
Announce Large Gifts.
Everyone was in the highest of good
spirits and the work started off auspi-
ciously. Not by any means a small
factor in the cheeriness which reigned
in headquarters was the announcement
of a 5000 gift by George A. Yule, 800
from Nathan Allen and $40 from Mrs.
John Chester, all Of which amounts are
to be used for materials. Another en-
couraging announcement was that the
membership had taken sudden Jump
up to 1870, and even while this was
being told another new member came
forward with her membership fee.
Committees are Busy.
The finance and executive commit
tees had both called meetings for this
morning and every other standing com
mittee is to meet sometime before the
end of the evening.
The next work meeting will be on
Friday from a. m. to p. M, and
everyone who can give even an hour
during the day to assisting in the work
is asked to do so. Again it is empha-
sized that each worker is asked to
bring a clean cotton apron large
enough to protect the garments upon
which she is employed from any dust
that may have gathered on the cloth
ing worn through the dusty streets.
Each is also asked to bring her own
white thread, thimbles, needles and
scissors.
