When the bugles blow for "chow."
No more apple Ipies CT dumplings,
For we're in the army now.
And they feed us beans for breakfast,
And at noon we Lave EN- TOO,
And at night they fill our tummfes
With a good old army stew.
No more fzzes, beer or highballs,
When we've got an awful thirst.
If you're thinking Of enlis ng,
Learn to drink plain water first.
For the lids on tight all over
And the drilling makes us warm,
But we can't cool off with liquor
cause we wear a uniform
No more shirts Of silk and linen,
We all wear the 20. D." stuff.
No more night-shirts or paJa.aas,
For our pants are good enough.
No more feather ticks or pillows,
But we're glad to thank the Lord
That we've got a cot and blanket,
When we might have just board.
For they feed us beans for breakfast
And at noon we have 'em too,
And at night they fill our tummies
With good old army stew.
But, by jinks, we'll lick the Kaiser
When the sergeants teach us how
For, hang him, he's the reason
That we're in the army now.

School Budget is Passed.


$l77,0S6.35 out Of the next levy of
city taxes. This was the recommends
tion of the finance committee of the
council at the meeting Monday even
ing and it was adopted by the council
without "a dissenting voice. It is I'M
derstood that the Recommendation meets
with the approval Of the members of
the finance committee of the Board of
Education. The joint committee in
session agreed that the question OF
raising $4,000 for the building of the
proposed Washington school should be
referred to the people for a referendum
vote at the spring election. The
finance committee of the council de-
clared that there was no need Of MAX
ing an appropriation to meet the de-
felt named by the Board Of Education
and this suggestion Of the board was
turned down. The finance committee
of the council asked that the sum of
$1,000 be added to the original budget
of the school board in order to meet the
costs Of the building of a portable
school on the Grant school grounds.
The committee also recommended that
a two-tenths mill tax be levied for the
support of the recreation movement.
Two Departments Ask Raise.
Formal petitions, signed by the
members of the police and fire depart
ment, were presented to the council.
They asked that an ordinance be
passed increasing the salary of men
in these departments. The new scale
as provided is as follows:
For the first years services IS a mo.
For second years service. 90 a mo.
For the third year IS service 100 a mo.
For captains ITO a mo.
The petitions were referred to the
finance committee with the police and
fire committee added. IF any change
is made in the salary schedule it is
understood that it is to be made
previous to the making of appropria-
tions for the new year.
DR.. W. E Nelson, in charge of the
municipal collection of garbage, made
a report to the council showing that at
the present time the city is collecting
garbage from $40 homes in Kenosha

showed that forty-two tons of gar
