But what are we doing for our
own battle of life9 Mind and
body are our only assets. From his
collar down, man is worth So day;
above his collar, there is no limit to
his worth. We use only about 10 per
cent of our mental strength. We are
inclined to sit about and wait for
something to turn up. In our state
eelymosynary institutions we are TAX
ing idiots and bringing intelligence

with subnormality, think of the posi-
bilities when dealing with persons of
real normality.
~ am sometimes asked if there is
the chance for person today that
there used to be. I say no. But there
is much greater opportunity. These
are the fundamentals. Absolute truth
in business, full measure of goods or
ideas, and the ever present service.
Remember that service is not demean-
ing; it is but the power to serve, to
the end that there shall be satisfac-
ton and profit to both buyer and sell
er. And then you possess the greatest
advertisement on Gods footstool-the

gated by the new ideas of business.
No matter how feeble the knocks, if
constant they will ruin any or every

Kenosha Lodge in Special
Meeting Passes Resolu-
tons Offering Aid to
the Nation.
MEMBERS SHOW PATRIOTISM

President Wilson knows that Kenosha
Elks are loyal to the United States and
that Kenosha Elks are going to do that
part which may be assigned to them in
the defense of the nation and the ma
tion's rights. At special meeting of
the lodge held at the club rooms on
Monday evening, attended by more
than hundred members, resolutions
endorsing the course taken by the
President, were enthusiastically pass
ed by unanimous vote and later in
the evening a telegram was sent to the
President giving him the full text of
the resolutions adopted. This telegram
was signed by Exalted Ruler George B.
Alleman and Secretary B. NJ. DeDie-
mar. 1t was the most patriotic meet
ing ever held in the Elks club rooms.
Flags were waving and after the mem
bers had sent the resolutions Of
loyalty they joined in singing the
Star Spangled Banner. Here is the
resolution as adopted
"Whereas, Patriotism, love of coun-
try and its flag are a part of the
foundation of the creed of Elks, and
therefore it becomes the paramount
duty of every good Elk to lend his
every support to his government when
it needs that support; and,
Whereas, The President has called
an extraordinary session of congress to
convene April 8, 1917, for the express
purpose of considering the question of
national policy with reference to af-
fairs with foreign country, and,
Whereas, The situation seems fraught
with great difficulties and momentous
issus, and,
Whereas, We have full faith in our
President, his immediate advers, and
the congress of the United States,
therefore.
Be It Resolved, That Kenosha Lodge
No. $50, Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks pledges its full and I'M
divided support to whatever measures,
means, or actions may be announced as
the policies of the American people in
this crisis, and.
Be Tt Further Resolved, That at
least the purport of these resolutions
be Immediately wired to President
Woodrow Wilson over the signature of
our Exalted Ruler and Secretary, and,
Be It Resolved, That copy of these
resolutions be spread upon our
records

PROVES HIS PATRIOTISM.
''Bill" Lewis, Son Of Mitchell Lewis
of Racine, Student in u. Of w,
Joins Naval Reserves.

One of Racine's oldest and most
prominent families, socially and fnan-
cially, has come to the front to prove
its patriotism in the person of the son
of Mitchell Lewis. The young man
has been a student in the University
of Wisconsin and within the week,
since the imminence of war has caused
special efforts on the part Of the gov
eminent recruiters, young Mr.. Lewis
has left the university and entered
training as naval cadet. Mr.. Lewis
is well known in Kenosha where he
and his sister, Miss Katherine Lewis,
have been entertained in the most ex-
elusive circles.
Another student at the university
whose home is in Portland, Ore, said
his farewells to study for the present
and packed his trunk, leaving for
Pensacola, Fla, where he has been &C.
cepted as member of the aviation
school there, pledging his services to
his country.
Hundreds of the students have got
ten their affairs into condition to
leave upon moments notice and 1t is
said that they will enlist promptly
upon the call for volunteers being
made after the declaration Of war is
formally announced.
AS there are many Kenosha boys in
the list of pupils there and as the ex-
citement among the students has run
so high, it is more than likely that Ke-
nosha families will have to their credit
number of volunteers in the event
of war.
