REAL MUSIC DRAWS CROWD.
Classical Program by Community Band
Attracts Thousands of People to
West Side Park.

That classical music can be played
ia such way as to appeal to the popu
lar taste was demonstrated perfectly
in the concert given by the Community
Band on Sunday evening. More than
four thousand people gathered i'll the
neighborhood of West Side park to hear
the interpretations of selections by
Bottle, Painpare, and Waldteufel. Ere
quent applause and numerous encores
gave ample evidence of the ability of
the musicians as well as the appreei-
alton of the crowd Especially we'll
received were the saxaphone and from
bone solos of Frank Locante and Nick
Bilotti's Bass lead in the band s rendi-
ton Of Mefistoefel. Other solo and
ensemble numbers were uniformly good
in both technique and feeling and
proved conclusively that Kenosha s
Community Band is an aggregation of
which the city may well be proud.

We're certain Of a record breaking year
These men, who represent the cream
Of the automobile distributing talent
Of North America, have been assembled
under the Nash banner by General Sales
Manager G. B. Voorhis within the past
five months. Many of them have previ-
ously been associated with G.. w. Nash
and are familiar with his policies. They
are unanimous in their assertion that
the Nash line for 1917-18 will be the
most desired franchise in the industry
and one of the most profitable con-
tracts the trade has ever known.
After spending yesterday in Kenosha,
where verbal contracts made during
the past five months were definitely
set down in black and white, the con-
tingent armed with their franchises,
which outline their selling territory for
Nash products, arrived in Milwaukee
at p. m. They were conducted from
the station by TRudie'' Hokanson and
the local representatives Of the Nash
Sales Company of Milwaukee to the
Hotel Wisconsin, where they were as
sembled in the main lobby under the
direction of fLord = Roberts.
His Lordship then led the way to the
justly famous "Gold Room where
linen and cutlery were laid for one

sembled at the tables an orchestra struck
up The Star Spangled Banner and
all remained standing until the last
strain had died away.
The explicit instructions on the fac
tory program forbade the intrusion OF
business during the dinner Old Man
Care was handed his passports at the
door and the fraternal buzz of good
fellowship was soon enlivening the at
mosphere.
The dinner, which was orthodox from
soup and celery to pecans and Java,
was, however conspicuous by the alb
sence of long canned formal speeches
and business prophesies.
Except for President G. w Nash, all
speakers were limited to five-minute
dissertations with subjects which rang
ed from the pursuit of the willy small
mouth and the lure of the links to to-
bogganing on Mt. Mckinley and Kelly
pool. Those in the "know' had in
timated that Colonel Afford had saved
up his new one for the banquet.

Lieutenant Hardy of the United

church on Sunday evening with his

Kipling's Recessional. The se1ec-
tions were especially appropriate to a

church and brought to all who heard the
stirring message: aLord God of Hosts

the songs, Rev. O. w. Taylor delivered

cence Hospitals.


One patriotic Kenosha woman is go,
ing to follow the soldier boys to the
fighting front and is going to be on
the battle front in France when the
boys from Kenosha take their place in
the great battle line for democracy.
Mrs. George A. Yule of Durkee ave-
rue has sent letters to Washington ask
ing for a passport for France. She has
appealed to the French consul in Chi
cago to secure for her commission to
work in the convalescent hospitals on
the French front and she is planning to
go the first Of September with mis-
sion of good cheer and good comfort to
the Americans and the allied troops in
the hospitals near the battle line.

Mrs. Yule this morning. 81 have al
ready taken the matter up with Miss
Helen Bones at Washington and she has
promised to seek for me a passport so
that / may work with other Americans
in the hospitals for the convalescents.
| only hope that can get the permits
necessary to get into the work.
Mrs. Yule who has been very active
in all of the work for the comfort and
care of the soldiers on the French front
and who has been especially interested
in various works for the American sol

own equipment with her. She is plan

French and American records.
Only a few of the patriotic American
women who have sought the service of
love in France have been permitted to
go to the hospitals in the neighborhood
of the battle lines. With the going of
the American soldiers it is certain that
more American women will gain this
privilege to serve and the application
