THE FLAG.


BY Kenneth MacOoueall.
The die is cast, the time has come,
The eagle screams once more.
The Stars and Stripes again shall
wave
Upon foreign shore.
Behind the flag of freedom.
Sweep on our fighting men,
To crush the Prussian eagle,
The peace dove bring again.
Regiment, brigade, division
And corps pass smartly by;
Pressing to crush oppression,
That the flag of right may fly.
Men who were known as hyphens,
Russians, Frenchmen, lads from
Spain,
Germans, Austrans, Italians,
Arc Americans again.
To the flag, then! To the PRESIDENT!
A toast: We're in the right!
Forward, march! Wen show the
Prussian
That we're not too proud 20 light.

MOTOR MYsTERIEsEXpLAINED
A Personally Conducted Tour Through
the Nash Motors Company Reveals
to Visiting Ladies the Mechanism
of Quads and Pleasure Cars.

How to float the next issue of
Liberty Bonds or how to extend rural
credits might have bothered the bank
ers of Group Five who were in con-
vention at Kenosha on Tuesday, but it
is certain that their wives, who were
also the honored guests of the city,
did not have time to consider such
questions because of the ample enter
tainment provided for them during
their stay in the city. While the
bankers were receiving the hospitality
of the city, as presented by Mayor
Pfennig in his address of welcome on
Tuesday morning, their wives were re-
ceiving concrete illustration Of this
hospitality in the form of a person
ally conducted tour through the Nash
Motors Company. Quads and motors
of every kind hitherto unknown GUAM
titles for most of the visitors, were
shown in the process of construction.
The mysteries of magnetic and starter,
together with the efficient methods of
the local factory, which have won the
recognition of the government in the
placing of large government orders,
proved to be extremely interesting to
the feminine mind as the visitors were
emphatic in their praise of the visit to
the industrial institution.
At noon the wives of Kenosha bank
ers were hostesses in honor of the Wis
iting ladies at a charming five course
dinner at the Kenosha Country Club
Plates were laid for thirty guests and
following the dinner cabaret dancing
and singing by Benson s Entertainers,
kept up the hospitality accorded the
honored guests. A pleasant social hour,
with tables for cards for those who
desired to play, completed the after
noon program at the Country Club.
Late in the afternoon the guests and
their hostesses returned to the Eagles
Hall, the headquarters of the conven-
ton, where bankers and wives were
taken on an extended automobile tour
Of Kenosha, in which all of the parks
and leading factories of the city were
visited by the guests and their hosts
The feminine element of the bank
er's convention-and it was no incon-
siderable part of the meeting
profuse in declaring that Kenosha
bankers and their wives had made this
years convention of Group Five of
Wisconsin bankers one of the most en-
joyable in the history of the association.

Red Cross Fire
Think It Overt

It's fine thing to say Goodbye
Jim, take care of yourself" but it,
more patriotic to say, Goodbye, Jer-
~, Jim, or Joe, ere going to take
care of you. We're going to send
sweaters and wristlets TO keep you warm
when it's cold and enough bandages
and dressings to save your life if you re
wounded. You re doing big things for
us and we want to do a little some
thing for you just to show you that
we're all with you and are backing
you up in all that you do at the
'front.' Incidentally the most force
full way of expressing that sentiment is
by joining the Red Cross Association
and working your seven hours week
at the new headquarters on Wisconsin

NEW Law AIDS WIDOWS.
Head Of State Suffrage Organization
Calls Attention to New Law for
Division of Estates.

lone OF the laws passed by the last
Legislature which is of especial interest
to women,'' writes Mrs. Theodore w.
Youmans, president of the Wisconsin
Woman Suffrage Association, "is in
relation to the Inheritance of widows.
The new statute provides that of the
residue OF the personal estate of any
person leaving widow and children, the
widow shall receive one-half such ner-
sonal estate when there is only one
child and in all other cases the widow
shall receive one-third of such estate
Up to the time of the passage and pub
lleatlon OF this law d widow shared
equally with her children in the per-
sonal property left by husband and
father. That is, she received one-half
the estate if there was one child, one
NTH II there were four children and
one-tenth if there were nine children.
Thus motherhood was penalized and
the more sons and daughters the wom-
an gave to the state the less money she
mad Tor support during her old age, pro-
v1dlng she survived her husband and
ne did not provide for her by will. The
old law gave opportunity for cases of
extreme injustice. The inheritance
laws IN Wisconsin are better than those
In some other states and are distinctly
less just to women than the laws in the
western states, where women exercise
more influence on lawmaking bodies. -

SWEETS FOR SOLDIERS.
Meeting of Women for Exchange of
Ideas on Canning in Chamber
of Commerce.

In connection with the canning day
on Thursday under the auspices of the
women s committee of the County
Council of Defense, there win be an
open meeting for all women of the city

change of helpful suggestions and dis
cussion from every one will be eneour-
aged.
A place has been found for the jams
and preserves which the committee has
been preparing in the last meetings for
they have determined to send these to
our soldiers at Camp Douglas. 1t is q
well known fact that the government
cannot take care of the sweet tooth of
the soldiers and the women have de-
termined that the recruits shall not
lack in spite of this. Kenosha women
are urged to make additions to the
growing donation of jellies, jams and
sweets which will be sent in the very
near future to cheer the soldiers. Wom-
en- are urged to bring contributions to
the meeting on Thursday so that they
can be forwarded at once to the Sam
mics
The work already completed in the
previous meetings of the canning COM
mittee will be on display at the Cham
Der of Commerce Thursday and bulle-
tins and recipes will be ready for dis
tribution. Each and every Kenosha
woman has a three-fold duty for the
meeting; first, come to the meeting
without fail; second, bring friend
and help thus to reach larger percent
of Kenosha housewives; third, bring a
glass of jam, jelly or preserves to help
send concrete appreciation to the Ke-
nosha soldiers who are risking all for
US.

somers Men Promise Support.

Under the inspiration of music by
Mrs. Truax and Marjorie Miller, and
speeches by E. T. O'Brien, W. E. Cox,
and Dr. Helen Harbert, the men of
Somers Fcame to themselves on Tues
day night and pledged united action for
the American Red Cross branch in that
community. The meeting was impress
sive from the Introductory speech of
the chairman to the ice cream and
cake in the parlors. Mr.. O'Brien was
at his best. In ringing address he
presented the urgency of military serv-
ice and the efficiency of Red Cross
work. He was succeeded by Mr.. Cox,
who gave vivid description of army
life which persuaded his audience of
the need of supplies such as are now
provided by sewing rooms throughout
the country. A novelty was introduced
at this point in the form of a vocal
solo by Mrs. Truax, accompanied by
Miss Marjorie Miller. With splendid
tone and effective feeling, the soprano
interpreted "When I'm Big TIL be a
Soldier The number was SO well re-
ceived that an encore was made neces-
sary and Mrs. Truax responded with
"The Battle Hymn of the Republic. !"
The audience Joined her in the choruses
and so created an admirable atmosphere
for DIR. Harbert's speech which follow
ed. With a keen insight into war
work, DR.. Harbert presented the serv-
ice of the local Red Cross chapter and
converted her audience entirely to the
Justice of the cause. So successful was
she in her arguments that men who
had before been skeptical became mem
bers Of the branch society and promised
undivided support of the auxiliary in
all future movements. In the business
session which followed the oratory the
provisional officers were made a per-
manent cabinet for the Somers asso-
citation and appointed committee to
handle a membership campaign to be
launched at once. While not so largely
attended as it might have been the
meeting was highly successful and gave
promise of larger things for the next
assembly in Somers.

PRAISES CAPTAIN MATES.
Lieut.. Alexander, in Kenosha on Fur
Tough, Tells of Acquaintance With
Victim of Southern Tragedy.

"Captain Mates was the best soldier
in our regiment said Lieut.. Alexan-
der this morning in discussing the kill
ing of the Illinois army man by the
Infatuated colored soldiers at Houston,
last week. '"I was with him when he
was sergeant in an Illinois regiment
some years ago. continued the lieu
tenant, "and he was known for his
bravery and devotion to duty. Just
such patriotism as stimulated him to
follow the course of duty at Houston,
Texas, even though it led through peril
of death, was characteristic of his life
as a soldier. AS a member of his old
company, I feel personal loss of a
friend and an exemplary soldier.''
Lieut.. Alexander of Troop e is in
Kenosha on forty eight hour f1rlough
and reports that his troopers are look
ing better than ever. There was praise
from the lieutenant for the food given
the soldiers as he described it as the
"fat of the land.' One look at the
lieutenant convinced his many friends
that his report must be absolutely true.
We're making soldiers out of the Ke-
nosha recruits and they re going to be
defenders of Old Glory that will make
Kenosha and their officers proud of
them," were his prophetic comments
upon the members of the company, in
which SO many Kenosha people are in
terested.

Playing to a full house at the Rhode
Opera House on Tuesday evening, the
Sherman Kelly Stock Company delight
ed it's audiences with its production of
"The Cutest Girl in Town. A clever
drama of western democracy and Eng

It's Up to You!

Gone thing about Northern France
that I have discovered, is that it rains
about three out of every five days.
Consequently the roads and camp
grounds, including our floor, are a sea
of mud most of the time No lights or
fires are allowed because of air raids
and I dread to think what the cold will
be when winter is fairly upon u.s.
This quotation from letter of Rouse
Simmons, now on the firing line in
France, gives some conception OF what
il means to orally round the Stars and
Stripes.'' This is real statement
from a real Sammy and cannot be de-
MED. 1t is interesting because it car
ries a direct appeal which should not
be neglected.
IF winter in France is to lose its fear
full aspect for the soldiers the women
back home will be largely responsible
for the change. Wristlets, sweaters and
mufflers would make a big difference
and the time to provide them is now.
The local Red Cross chapter is meeting
the situation with patriotism and eff
cheney and those who are loyal enough
to aid it should enlist for service be
fore November storms have already
taken their toll from the frozen fields
of France. It's up to you. Go to it
and make good

The sun shines ever brightest
