PERSONAL LETTERS MAILED
Conserving Food Supply for the United
States and Her Allies to Be Held a
Patriotic and Religious Duty
Local Arrangements Made.

Food Saving Day" is set for Sun.
day, July 1st, and every minister in
Kenosha has received letter from
Herbert Hoover, the newly appointed
food dictator, to take the morning
service to present the need of food
conservation to his congregation. This
is national movement, as Hoover
with the untiring energy, which work
ed wonders in Belgium, has mailed to
every. minister in the United States
whose name he could secure, letter
under his signature asking that they
should preach on this Sunday on the
subject of food conservation as a patri-
otto and religious duty. 1t is believed
that by this plan more people could be
reached than by any other way and
that thus it may be made the purpose of
every household of America to "Save
the Waste and Win the War;
That America must furnish the grain
supply for the Allies is one of the
stupendous tasks assigned by the mill
tary boards to this country and is at
the present time the most important
duty given to us.
Herber G. Hoover, who is now in the
name Of the government appealing to
the people through the pulpit, has been
during the past two years in Belgium
in charge of the distribution Of the
grain sent to the starving Belgians
from this nation. There, as he has re-
ported, he has seen many families live
and be thankful for what the average
housewife in America throws away.
If America is to play her role the public
must see that this useless waste, which
would be welcomed by the starving
thousands of our allies, must be done
away with and that quickly. The
present plan has been adopted as the
quickest one to educate the people and
the most persuasive in leading them to
follow the suggestion of the pulpit.
Plans have not as yet been announc-
ed by local ministers as to what they
will do in answer to the appeal, but
all those seen expressed a readiness to
comply with the request of Mr.. Hoover.
Definite announcement in regard to the
local churches, will, however, be made
the latter part of the week.

HAIL HIKE ON SATURDAY.
Southport Troop of Boy Scouts Enthu-
siasticalIy Greet Proposal of Cross
Country Walk for the Week End.

Permanent organization and plans
for the future comprised the program
at the Monday evening meeting Of the
Southport Troop of the Boy Scouts of
America, held at the Chamber of Com
merce under the direction of acting
scoutmaster Richard T. Kaiser. The
first business transacted oy the boy
volunteers, who represent more than a
hundred Kenosha families, was affilia-
tion with the national association of
the order. This accomplished they
proceeded to demonstrate their serious
ness in the work thus authorized by
planning a long hike for Saturday af-
ternoon, which will test both the ex-
ecntive abilities of the officers and the
endurance of the tenderfoots. The
"near Marathon will start at one
'clock from the Chamber of Commerce
building and will include in its timer
airy various points of interest in the
surrounding country. 1t will furnish
ample opportunity for study of
woodcraft, which plays so large part
in the work of the association, and
also provide occasion for some little
signalling and trailing Of strictly
practical sort The expedition will un-
doubtedly attract most of the members
oe the troop and will certainly prove
an suspicious opening for their official
program for the summer.

PAcIPIsM OR PATRIOTISM?
The Tragedy of Unpreparedness is Wv

Man and militarism, womanhood and
war-these are the problems depicted
III the "real0 reel show now playing
at the Burke Theatre in this city. An
aeroplane raid over the Atlantic coast,
an, invasion of the United States. the
execution of an American Joan of Arc.
the complete mobilization of our ma
tional energies and resources, a last
desperate battle ON land and sea, In
which concealed trenches, invisible
bombs, super submarines, and "fire-
bugs" bring decisive victory to the
troops of Uncle Sam, the surrender of
the Arch-Invader to the Hero, and the
elimination of perilous romance in
a grand pageant of patriotism that in
tabloid is the story of Womanhood. -
Blackton and Brady's film production
which has both pleased and inspired
Kenosha audiences for the past two
days. Impossible as it is, the picture
gives a wonderful conception of the
deadly methods employed in modern
warfare and also demonstrates the
grave danger to the United States or
any country in persistently pursuing a
policy of pacifsm rather than practic-
ing reasonable preparedness. 1t is
true that the scenes occasionally de-
generate into the melodramatic or even
the sensational but the whole produc-
ton is charged with splendid patri-
nfTc al
technical and artistic shortcomings.
Its appearance in Kenosha is timely.
There is much in it which will inspire
the Stacker with new sense of duty
and it is not at all improbable that
volunteering in this city will be stimu-
lated by the tragic revelations and
logical deductions of Womanhood.

COMMENDED BY ARMY OFFICERS

Working under handicap which
would have disheartened a more exper-
fenced team, the newly formed drill
team of Pike Woods Camp, No. 391,
Modern Woodmen Of America, made
an excellent showing and was highly
complimented by the United States
army officers who acted as judges at
the Forester encampment held in
Grant Park in Chicago last week.
Going down with full team of six
teen men, last Sunday night at one o.
clock they received blow to their
chance of taking any of the prizes in
having three members of the team
called home on account of the death of
their mother.
This made it necessary to drill with
twelve men and suffer loss of five
points for the missing of four to begin
with as well as having the other men
drill in positions to which they were
maccustomed to drill
Captain Cain commanding the team
was advised by experienced officers not
to try to drill with less than full
team, but Captain Cain and his men
insisted on going in to see what they
could do and ran up a score Of eighty
nine points, taking the eleventh place,
tenth place being the last to receive
any money, and received the COM
mendation of the other officers and
men on account of the score and their
gameness in drilling in spite of the
handicap under which they drilled.
On account of the fact that large
number of the drill teams and officers
have entered the army, the encamp-
ment was not as large as some held in
former years, but was a great success
In every way.
