TO HEAR CALL TO LOYALTY
Members of Club respond to Call of
National Chairman to Aid All Move
nents to Promote Loyalty and Aid
Nation In Every Way Possible.

Nearly fifty of the sixty-eight In
dams belonging to the Kenosha XII
wants Club met promptly at 1915 in
the Kiwanis room Of Hotel Kenosha
on Tuesday. 1t was the largest attend
ahce that the club has ever held together.
The dinner was unusually good, and it
was pronounced one Of the best meet
ings the club has held This was the
first meeting after the completion Of
the work of the district organizer,
Hal Denton. For this reason President
Ernst announced that it would be al
most entirely a business meeting.
However, the silent booster was not
overlooked, and Bode Brothers had at
each plate a very attractive and useful
household article. The attendance
prize, beautiful little clock, was won
by President G. HI. Ernst. One of
the Racine braves, Hilker by name,
made neat little talk and told Of the
doings of the neighboring club.
It was unanimously carried that the
club members pay their annual dues in
one amount. Financially the club is
not going to DE a burden on its mem
bers. The fee is fixed at FIVE dollars
year and this, it is thought,
will furnish ample funds for the regu-
lar business of the club.
10 add TO the interest of the mem
bers, new chairman is to be appoint
ed for each meeting, the business, of
course, to be regularly cared for by
the president. Attorney Walter Ham
mond has the honor of being the first
special president, and he will preside
at next Tuesdays dinner. One week
from Tuesday, Doctor George Stevens
will serve in the same capacity.
The high cost of living crept in and
slight raise in the price of the dinner
was charged A committee consisting
Of Tom Sullivan, Thomas Lockhart,
and Frank Isermann was appointed
to look into the matter, and report at
the next meeting.
A long distance phone from Milwau-
kee announced that Hal Denton, the
oRganizer of the club, was i'll and I'M
able to attend the meeting of the
local club for this week. He promised
faithfully, however, to be on hand
for the next meeting.
A communication was read from
President George F. Hickson, forcefully
reminding the members that at this
crisis of our country's history, the first
duty of every club and every individual
member is to do his bit for the well
fare of his community and Of his
country "That the Kiwanis Club may
have part, even the most humble, in
this noble undertaking, said Mr..
Hickson, 9E1et each individual member

and promoting the welfare of the
country to which we owe our support

operation is assumed both as individu-
