Miss Agnes S. Tenant died at her
home on North Main Street, this
city, Tuesday evening, June 26, at the
age of 20 years. The deceased was
we'll and favorably known throughout
the county. She was a member of
the Methodist Church and a prominent
w. C. T. u. worker. The funeral will

The President has called for 10000
unmarried men between the ages of
18 and 40 to volunteer this week for
the period of the war in Infantry and
Field Artillery branches of the United
States Army. The fact that an indi-
vidual has registered need not prevent
him from enlisting. Four Wisconsin
counties have raised enough and will
have no draft. Others have raised
nearly enough. For further informa-
ton enquire of Postmaster
Attorney w. A. Hayes of Milwaukee
was the acceptable speaker at the
Baptist church last Sunday morning
on 1.-THE War Situation and the Red
Cross" Mr. Hayes is a student of his
tory and his comparison of world ma
tions and the United States affords an
opportunity for afterthought Rev. r.
Percy Hutton of Oregon will speak
next Sunday morning on THE Mighty
Sweep of Temperance Sentiment Over
the United States and the World"
Some of our Wauwatosa young peo-
pie are as patriotic as any one might
wish. A little miss living on the
Kenwood Avenue was a great help to
her mother about the housework, and
her father presented her with a hand
som flag as a reward of merit. Of
course, there must be q flag raising,
and all the children in the immediate
neighborhood were invited to be
present, regardless of their national
ity. All were requested to raise their
hand in salute (even a little man too
young to understand but whose nurse
held his little hand up) while their
young hostess read the salute to the
flag.
THE city of Wauwatosa and its sur
roundings was hit quite hard by the
last Friday nights storm. The river
was never known to be so high. No
bridges were washed out in the city,
but a large amount of damage was
done to our streets and several wash
outs and bad ones. A large number
of Easements were flooded and the
people in the lowlands had to be got
out with boats. Diedrich Bros gar
age on Wisconsin Avenue had the
back wall caved in causing considera-
BILE damage. No houses were struck
by lightning. w. B. Morse is heavy
loser. The city has a large gang of
men repairing the streets. X
On Sunday and Monday last, Team
18, under the leadership of Captain
Paul E. Thomas, 447 Wauwatosa Ave
nue., made a canvass of the Wauwa-
tosa homes in behalf of the Red Cross
work. The Young ladies on the team
were Margaret Cross, Marion Tully,
Marie Maxson, Carol Maxson, Cath
crime Wheeler, Lorraine Tragard, and
Margaret Thomas. The young ladies
went from house to house in couples
and were very successful. The total
amount raised by the team was over
5000, most of it in small amounts.
Mr.. f. d. Underwood and Mr.. E. d.
Hoyt subscribed $3.50 each, these be-
ing the largest amounts obtained by
this team. Mr.. Underwood had previ-
ously given $1,000 to a Milwaukee
team, and many other of our business
men had also given to Milwaukee
teams, thus decreasing the amount
apparently given by our city to this
great need.
