CAMPAIGN BEGINS THURSDAY
Representatives Name and Announce
Town Committees, Which Meet Tues
day Afternoon-Plan Substantially
Same as One Used in Kenosha.

The first convert to adopt the Judd
Kenosha Plan" of providing for the
systematic Election of all war relief
funds, has been gained Kenosha
County will "follow suit according
to the plans made at the meeting of it's
representatives at a dinner at the
Park Hotel Thursday noon, and lead
ers in the various communities will at
tempt to put into practice the plan
which is being advocated in Kenosha
city. Every town and unit of the
county was represented at the roeeting
and took up enthusiastically with the
project to "set the ball rollin - and
put Kenosha County back of every pa
triotic venture for helping the soldiers
at the front.
The plan is to be modified to meet
the conditions in the rural communities
but it is substantially to ask every
wage-earner of the county to subscribe
for the "Patriots Fund eighty three
one hundredths of one per cent of his
income-the equivalent Of one half
hour week. The chairman of each
town is to act as the head of the com
mittee in his district and all subscrip-
tions of the fund and payments to it
are to be made through him. The
oughly determined, but arrangements
will be made, similar to those cosidered
for the city, whereby the small wage
Garner, may pay his subscription to the
committee through his employer. The
minimum that each township is ex-
pected to raise by applying the "Ke-
nosha Plan" was figured out on popu-
lation and the valuation of the dis
trict, and one chairman advocated the
plan of setting an average of the
amount-about $40 per year, which
each family should give to raise this
amount.
Immediate steps were taken at the
meeting to put the plan into action
by the appointment of the committees
in each town. These are to make a
thorough canvas of the township and
give every wage-earner an opportunity
to subscribe voluntarily to the fund
The meeting of the members of the
nine committees, at which each mem
Der of each committee is to be present,
will be held at the Circuit court Room
in Kenosha on Tuesday afternoon at
one O'Clock, at which time definite
plans will be developed for carrying On
the campaign in various parts of the
county. It is hoped that the county
will be able to finish its organization
as quickly as the city, and be able to
share in the glory of establishing a
systematic and efficient method Of sup
porting the war funds.
County Clerk Jones, as secretary of
the board sent out letters late Thurs
