MEowl ZIP! BANG!

Man-sized but cat-voiced, two gigan-

Sonata to the delighted spectators at
the Virginian on Sunday afternoon and
evening. The act was scream and
elected storms of applause from an au-
dience c0nvulsed with laughter. With
tails swinging and walls ringing the
pussy footed warriors staged back
fence classic that would have brought
smiles to the face of the Kaiser or
persuaded the crown prince that maybe
he was wrong in thinking of st. Helena.
After the bout was over there was the
usual scurry for shelter and the neces-
sary Cleanup" With feline grace
and thoroughness the fur-pawed pugil-
lists licked their chops and washed
their pompadours, in order that they
might be in tip-top shape vhen their
little mistress arrived to fondle them
and call them "kitty-cats A "cat-
act-for-t three but not catastrophe"
the number turned" out "purrty''
fine and furnished a clever climax for
a clever bill.

Dinnerless Day
For Liberty Boys
Letters from Camp Custer Show That
Kenosha Soldiers Were Denied Din
ners on Trip to Michigan.

A day without dinner was the first
experience Of the fourteen recruits
from the city of Kenosha who started
their service for Uncle Sam by report
ing to Battle Creek, Thursday, accord
ing to letters received from John Geh-
ring and George 0 'Malley
The co9scription board had given to
Gehring an order for dinners, which it
was understood would call for meal
for each one of the recruits, but upon
its presentation the steward refused
to grant more than one meal for the
ticket. There was no squabble as to
who should be the one well-fed soldier
for when they saw the perdicament,
all gladly accepted pot luck and as a
result they reached Camp Custer din
nerless. A letter from George O'Mal-
ley who was in charge Of the men from
Kenosha county, showed that the
Michigan Central had accorded the
county boys the same treatment.
When they were within few miles of
Battle Creek, the company decided that
they could risk an offer and then
agreed to furnish the entire quota of
meals but the offer came too late to give
the soldiers an opportunity to accept.
The local boards are puzzled over the
acton and are making EXTENSIVE plans
to prevent the, recurrence of it when
the second detachment of one hundred
and twelve men is sent from Ke-
nosha next Wednesday.
In describing the arrival at the
camp, Gehring, who is enthusiastic
over the soldier life, said: 'The camp
is about five miles this side of Battle
Creek and is only fairly started, being
without water and with but few lights
in each building, but>of course no one
complains as the camp will be wonder
full when it is completed The army is
well organized and systemitized; fifteen
minutes after reaching camp I was as
signed to the headquarters, Company
A, 31Oth Engineers, given two army
blankets, poLcho, cot and an empty
tick which 7 filled with straw AS far
as I could find out all r,en are sent to
mess hall Immediately and were we'll
fed, but l can find mo trace of men
after they left my charge. I am re-
turning all meal tickets and would adj
wise that you send the next installment
well supplied as I am told that iris re-
fusal to serve is a regular thing as
there is no money in selling for 60c
what would readily bring $1.30. We
shall be glad to greet Kenosha com
rades of the next installment.

ALLAH CALLEH KAIsER's GOD.
Rev. w. A. Jennings of Salem Tells
Park Avenue M E. Audience Mo-
hammedanism and Prussianism
are Similar.

81 sometimes think that the God of
the Kaiser must be the same God which
has lead the Mohammedans to their
many fields of bloodshed and barbar-
ity," said the Rev. w. A. Jennings,
pastor of the Salem, Wis, M. E. Church
to the congregation at the Park Ave
nue. NJ E. Church Sunday morning
service. The minister compared the
distinctions Of the past which came
upon Jerusalem to those of the present
war. The Rev. Jennings filed the pull
pit of the Kenosha church in the alb
sence of Rev. 0. w. Taylor, who spent
the Sunday attending the annual con
ference at Wausau.
In his. sermon, which was deeply
spiritual and inspiring, the minister
urged Christians to "turn their faces
towards Jerusalem, = which symbolized
the keeping of their highest ideals with
a steadfast purpose. It was an impas-
stoned appeal for men to attain the
destiny assigned to them and with apt
illustrations frors sacred and secular
history was true inspiration to many
of his hearers.

ICE-MEN PLAN HOT TIME.
Will Stage Annual Frolic at Tennes-
sens Woods on Thursday Morning,
Afternoon and Night.

Kenosha housewives may as we'll plan
"hot-stuff" for Thursday since any
thing colder than that is going to be
hard to get. The ice-men are going on
a picnic and there will be neither morn
ing nor afternoon deliveries to call
them from their gaiety. '%It's fact,
madam" Thursday will be an iceless
day-that is unless the present cold
snap continues and makes icycles avail
able from caves and water pipes. How
ever that may be, the ice men will be
spending rollicking, froicking day
in the quiet of Tennessen s woods.
Forgetful Of ice cards or frenzied calls
of neglected housewives, they will in
dulge in the usual picnic diversions and
consume the usual picnic lunches. Sure,
it may be cold, but they should care.
They re ice-men and are used to it.
Then, too, overcoats and sweaters are
always hanging around somewhere in
Wisconsin, and will be on hands and
backs to fight the rain or snow, which
ever the lake breeze wants to bring.

CHANGE ROAD IN WnEATLaND
Farmers Demand That State Provide
Road from Burlington to Lake &C.
neva Which Will Offer More Ad-
vantages to County Farmers.

The Geneva Road is to remain a part
of the state highway system in Keno
sha county and as such will receive
the state and federal aid under the new
road laws. This was definitely de-
cided at the meeting held at the Court
House on Saturday afternoon when
members of the state highway COM
mission cane to Kenosha to take
up the matter of the state road system
with the people of the county.
The crowd attending the meeting
was largely made up of people who
live along the Geneva Road and the
effort of the Plank Road property own
ers to have changes made in the sys-
TEN did not get far. The whole ques-
tion of the merit of the two roads as
a part of a state system was discussed
but when it came to vote the Geneva
Road won by vote of sixty to four.
This ended the budding hopes of the
Plank Road residents and the repre-
sentative of the commission held that
no change would be made in the sys-
tenn so far as the east and west road
was concerned. While the Geneva
Road won an easy victory it won it
without any aid from the people of the
city. Not a single Kenosha man ap-
peared to show any interest in the
roads to be set aside as part of the
state system and regardless of the fact
that the city is paying some sixty-fve
per cent of the taxes for building
and maintaining the roads the officials
and road boosters Of The city seemed
to be willing to leave the matter en-
tirely to the commission and the repre-
sentatives of the rural districts.
One change in the state system for
Kenosha county is probable. The sys-
tenn as originally laid out provided for
the improvement with state aid of the
road which runs from a point a quarter
of a mile west to SHADES Corners to
Burlington. This was to be a part Of
a road running from Milwaukee to
Lake Geneva. People from the town
of Wheatlan6 at the meeting on Sat
urday declared that this road was Of
little value to the people of this county
on account Of the fact that it was at
the extreme west corner of the county.
In place of this road they suggested
that thee state commission place on the
state system the road starting half
mile east Of the village of New Nuns
ter and running from this point into
Burlington. There seemed to be an
almost unanimous opinion that the i'm
provement and maintenance of this
road would be of greatest value to this
county. The commission will take the
matter under advisement. The new
road proposed for the system is slight
~ longer than the road which had
been selected before, but it is thought
that changes in the five thousand
mile state wide system can be made
so as to make the change in Kenosha
county possible.
No suggestion was made for the i'm
provement OF any. north and south road
with the exception of the Lake Shore
Road and it will be continued on the
maps as part of the state system.

tural hall the schools of Kenosha and
Kenosha county will both have large
exhibits in connection with the show
ing made by the educational institu-
tions of the state.

er large crowd was in attendance.
Nearly all CT the exhibits were ready
for the visitors on Sunday evening.

Tony Cernoski Who Claimed That

BORE WAY into BUILDING
Burglars Manage to Get Into Pool Room
and From this Room Get Into Drug
Store and make One of Richest
Hauls in Several Years.

Burglars got away with one OF the
richest hauls known in Kenosha in
several Zeals some time between mid
night last night and early this morn
ing when they made their way into
the store of the People Drug Com
pany on West Elizabeth street and af-
ter ransacking the entire store they
got away with booty to the value Of
more than two hundred dollars. The
robbery was discovered with the open
ing Of the store this morning and po
Ice officers were on the job making an
effort to find some clew to the guilty
parties. So much stuff was taken from
the drug store that the police believe
that the men must have used
some sort of a conveyance to car
ry away their swag.
The booty included five thousand CT
garettes, a lot of candy, cameras and
Photographic supplies and a large
amount of miscellaneous merchandise.
The men evidently knew just what
they were looking for and where to
look for it and they appear to have
been busy at the job for several hours.
They evidently found their way about
the store by the use of flash lights
as a couple of dozen of these
lights were listed as part of the
booty secured.
The police believe that the burglary
was the work Of experts. Adjoining
the store which was robbed is vacant
store room which was formerly used
as a pool room. 1t was through this
vacant store that the burglars made
their way into the drug store. They
managed to make an entry to the pool
room through one of the rear windows.
Before they could get into the drug
store it was necessary to break through
a sliding door. The entrance through
these doors was effected by use of an
augur With considerable labor the
burglars bored holes about the doors
until it was possible to take the lock
off. This opened the way to the door
leading to the drug store and this was
lOiCVd WItu VI
people must have passed the store dur
ing the time that hetburglars were at
work but no one seems to have seen any
suspicious characters at work about the
place and the police officers and night
watchmen on the beat saw nothing
which would arouse their suspicion.
1t is thought that an effort will be
made to dispose of the stuff stolen in
the store and police officers in other
cities have been instructed to watch
the pawn shops. A part Of the booty
taken was valuable cameras and
it is expected that the thieves will
make an effort to realize on this
part of their booty.
Chief O'Hare after loking into the
burglary declared that he was con
WINGED that the crime was not the work
of small boys but of some thoroughly
matured criminals who knew just what
they planned to do and just how they
were going about it. No arrests have
been made in connection with the case.

prise on Sunday evening when members
