ALL READY TO DO THEIR BIT
Local Manufacturers Will Confer With
Federal Commissioners Later in Week
and Make An Inventory of Men
Able to Take Civilian Posts.

Kenosha manufacturers are to be
asked to do their "bit'' toward help
ing out the nation at war and their
" bito is to aid the government in
turning of machinery now making pro-
ducts for peace into machinery whica
will manufacture munitions of war.
Kenosha is one Of the largest manu-
featuring cities in the country and it
has some Of the best skilled labor. 1t
has men of brains who are OF inven-
tive turn of mind and men who can IN
a short time work out wonderful ma
chinery to make pretty nearly every
thing. The possibility that some of
the big Kenosha plants will be taken
over by the government for operation
is not remote one, but it is thought
more probable that Kenosha manufact-
urers will ask that the government use
part of their wonderful machine
equipment for making things necessary
for war. The Black Cat Textile Com
pany has offered the government the
entire output Of its great plants at Ke-
nosha, Sheboygan and Bennington and
other companies in the city have assured
the government that they will be will
ing to answer any patriotic call to turn
over their plants, either in part or as a
whole, to provide for the manufacture
of munitions or for the manufacture of
a. nj II
Federal representatives will be in
the city within a few days to confer
with the directors of the manufacture
ers association of Kenosha and it is
certain that at the time plans will be
worked out by which the greatest pos
sible service can be rendered to the
government by Kenosha factories 1t
is not planned to disturb in any way
the statutes of the men employed in
the great plants, as should the federal
government feel the need of any of the
Kenosha factories all of the men will
be retained and it is probable that it
would be necessary to make large adj
ditions to the employed forces.
Alioduy HoVeuieH6 mas DeeH SbafI-
ed to list every unemployed man in
the city with view Of furnishing this
list to the government. Thousands of
skilled workmen are going to be need
ed to man the plants Of the government
in different parts Of the country and
it is expected that some Of these men
will be contributed from Kenosha. 1t
is probable that meeting at which
the details of these plans will be work
ed out will be held within the next
two or three days. The movement is
one of the biggest of the kind ever
attempted in the city and it is in
common with similar movements now
on in all the leading manufacturing
centers of the country.

MANY old timers MEMBERS
Order Had Recruited to It's Membership
Many of the Best Known Men of Ke-
nosha,-May Be Forced to Lose Ben
efits Paid Through Many Years.

Two hundred members of the Royal
Arcanum in Kenosha were shocked to-
day when it became known that Thorn
as J. Boynton, former attorney general
of Massachusetts,, had been appointed
receiver for the suprem council of the
Royal Arcanum by Federal Judge Aid
rich in that state. There is much
speculation among the local members
of the big national organization as to
what the final outcome of the receiver
ship will be. The asking for receiv-
ership for the order came like a bolt
from clear sky. Some months ago the
supreme council decided to increase the
rates and tn g new schedule of rates
went into effect. Assessments of many
of the older members were more than
doubled as a result in the change of
rates and many members of the
order in Kenosha had signifed their
intention of withdrawing.
The appointment of the receiver was
made on the petition of q member of
the order who alleges that the reserve
fund Of the order, amounting to three
million dollars, has been illegally ad-
ministered and that it would be en-
tirely depleted within two years up-
less the court interferred. The petit
tion states that in the year 1915 the
sum of one million five hundred thous-
and dollars was illegally used for
the payment of preferential death
claims and asks that the receiver
wind up the business of the supreme
council.
The Royal Arcanum is one of the
Oldest of the fraternal organizations
in Kenosha and it numbers among it's
members many men who have been
loyal to the order under changing rates
and conditions. 1t made strong APP
peal to the older men of The community
and many men in Kenosna have been
paying dues and benefit assessments
for years. They are now past the age
when it will be possible for them to
purchase any kind of insurance and if
the order is forced to close up its bust
ness the closing will come as a heavy
blow to these men who have no
other source of protection for their
families in case Of death.
Local members of the order who
have been prominent in its affairs, ex-
pressed great surprise at the appoint
ment of receiver The formal, an
nouncement of the receivership has not
as yet been made to the members of
tn local council When it comes the
members will be up against the propo-
sition of deciding as to whether they
will lose all they have paid in or re-
main with the organization until the
battle has been fought out.
The officials of the local council as
shown by the city directory are:
Charles J. Nieman, Charles E. Turnock,
A. E. Bounssll and Edward McDermott.
1t is expected that the matter of the
receivership VIII be discussed at the
next meeting of the council scheduled
for next Thursday evening. The
council holds its meeting at the Danish
Brotherhood Hall.

Russell Fanmuller, twelve years old,
and Longo Freemon, eleven, were pick
ed up by the Racine police On Satur-
day. They had left Kenosha to see
the world, but got only as far as Ra-
cine. The police officers in that city
put them on a car for home and mott
fed the Kenosha police. Their parents
were notified. It is probable that a
SWoodshed" interview ended the
desire of the boys to wander from
the old home.

More men who are not 'sslackers'
were discovered in KenoSha today and
total of ten offered themselves for
service in the United States army and
navy. Seven of the boys went to Mil
waukee after signing applications as
regular enlisted men in the United
States navy. These boys are all ex-
peeted to be accepted before the day
is over and assigned to training ships
probably somewhere in the east fol-
lowing month IS stay at the training
station at Great Lakes.
Harry Grissenger, William Jaegers
and William Voight went to Chicago
early today and reported at the gen

they be assigned to that branch of she
army and navy to which they were
best fitted. 1t is certain that all of
them will be acceptable for service.
The order against the enlistment Of
married men or men who may have
relatives dependent upon them, has
caused some disappointment to Keno
sha as a number oil, married men had
made arrangements to enlist.

TELEPHONE OMPANY
PAYS TEN PER CENT
Annual Stockholders Meeting Held
Last Monday-All hut One Mem
Der Of Old Board Retained.

The annual stockholders meeting OF
the Iron County Telephone company
was held in the Company's Office last
Monday afternoon, when the mana
gers financial report for the past year
was read and discussed by those pres
ent. The declaration of 10 per cent
cash dividend for the past twelve
months was announced by the board
and approved by the stockholders
The election of officers resulted In
the retention of all but one member
of the old board of directors, which
member was absent from the city.
The board as it now stands is COM
prised Of the following: Henry, w.
Lunt, John S. Woodbury., John II.
Cory, Henry Leigh and C. S. Wilkin-
son, all of Cedar City; John H. Gurr
and S. A. Matheson, of Parowan.
Besides earning an amount suffic-
lent to pay ten per cent dividend on
the outstanding stock Of the company
the business has been strengthened
during the past year by the invest
ment Of goodly portion of the earn
ings in new equipment and extensions
10 the company's system.
The telephone as an institution has
passed the point where it is looked
upon as novelty or luxury, and has
come to be one of the peoples greatest
onveniences and necessities. The
increased demand for telephones
throughout the county is usually a
title in advance of the company's re
sources and ability to furnish, but the
ystem is being extended quite rapid
Y, and will soon reach practically
every part Of the county with net
work of lines.
