Every hour of battle in Europe leaves

more to help in saving the lives Of the
brave men who are left bleeding on

future will see this same organization

WooDMEN AND NEIGHRoRS
URGED TO COOPERATE.
Rev. I. w. Corey in Memorial Address
to Woodmen and Royal Neigh
bors Points Out the Lesson
of Cooperation.

In the regular memorial address to
the Modern Woodmen and Royal Neigh
bors of the city, who had gathered at
Green Ridge in memory of those neigh
bors who have died in past years, Rev.
T. w. Corey said that the great lesson
from the life Of the departed was that
of cooperation. The memorial services
tvpified a continuation of the neigh
borly interest which the two orders
stand for so strongly. A large number
of the Woodmen were present and
marched to the cemetery Sunday after
noon where they gathered around the
grave of Joseph G. Schaufel and took
part in the impressive ritualistic me-
mortal services of the order. Following
the address by the Rev. Corey garlands
were placed upon the graves of all
those of the order who have died in
past wears. Preceding the exercises of
the Woodmen the members of the Royal
Neighbors of the Kenosha lodge met
around the grave of Neighbor Mary
Marx and held fitting services in honor
of the dead, one part of which was a
recitation bv Mrs. Waterstradt. The
departed ones for whom the honors of
the Woodmen and Royal Neighbors were
given yesterday were:

BISHOP CcNFERs HOHORs
Bishop Walter w. Webb Takes Part In
Exercises. Star spangled Banner
Sung on Campus as Part of Cere-
mony Local Students Honored.
From MONDAYS Dailrl

Wartime simplicity, with touch of
patriotism new to the occasion, marked
the commencement exercises at KEN
per Hall this morning at ten clock,
when the eleven members of the grad
uating class were officially ushered
from school life into life itself. Spring
seemed to have attired the campus
with more than its usual beauty for
this gala occasion and many flowers
helped to enhance its attractiveness,
prominent among which was the mar
guerite, the flower of the school. A
mark of patriotism, SO appropriate this
year, was shown when In the regular
march between the gymnasium and the
chapel, after singing the Kemper Hall
song, the procession halted long enough
around the flag pole for all to unite
and make the campus ring with the
martial music Of "The Star Spangled
Banner Following this, in the chap
ell, the Rt. Rev. Walter w. Webb pre-
sented the honors and conferred the
prizes granted by the school The
Saint Mary Cross, the leading honor
of the school, was this year presented
to Miss Margaret Ross Wynne of Mem
phis, Tenn. The laying of the class
stone, beautiful ceremony that has
become a traditional part of commence
ment, ended the school festivities of
the year.
The gymnasium exercises, prepara-
tory to the commencement proper, but
in reality part of it, consisted Of mum
bers by the members of the grauating
class, prominent among which were the
solos Of Miss Jeanette Robinson, of this
city. The baccalaureate sermon was
preached Sunday morning by the Rev.
DR.. Leicester G. Lewis, the professor
of Ecclesiastical History at the West
ern Theological Seminary at Chicago.
The class roll this year contains the
names of two Of Kenosha's young la
dies the Misses Jeanette and Annis
Elizabeth Robinson, the accomplished
daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. fl. B. Rob
inson of Prairie avenue The other
members Of the class are: the Misses
Virginia Austin, Mary Elizabeth Clark,
Elizabeth Scofield Dafter, Esther Eliz-
abeth Dyer, Isabel Weeks Greenslade,
Dorothy Harrington, and Margaret Kiss
Wynne.
There was the usual large number of
visitors and friends of the school pres
ent at the commencement this morn
ing. Many of them are expected to
stay to attend the alumnae meeting this
afternoon at 'clock, which will close
one of the most successful years that
the picturesque school has ever known.

END CONVENTION.
Polish Students Well Satisfied With
the Treatment Accorded Them

The annual convention of the Inter

ton which opened in Kenosha on last
Wednesday, came to a close on Sunday
evening and today the hundreds of
visitors who have been here for the

the convention and large delegations
came from many surrounding cities to
attend the services of the day. There
were services in both Polish and Eng
llsh and just after noon the delegates
to the convention gathered at Library
Park for the convention photograph
Before the sessions were closed resolu-
t1ons were passed thanking the people
of Kenosha for the splendid welcome
which had been given, It's is not
improbable that the next annual
convention of the organization will be
held in Kenosha.

HoNoRs FOR SCHOOL TYP1sTs.
Kenosha Takes a First, Second and
Third in Commercial Contest at
Madison SATURDAY..

Accuracy on the part of the repre-
sentatives of the commercial depart
ment Of the High School was response
BILE for the victories which they won at
the contest in commercial subjects held
at Madison, Saturday. Kenosha car
ried away more than a fair share of
the honors by Miss Reeba Goldberg
winning first place in the 80-word short
hand test and Miss Anna Sorenson tax
ing second and John Young third in
the typewriting contest, in which they
were ranked both according to their
accuracy and speed. The showing Of
John Young was exceptional in that
he was pitted against pupils of three
and four years experience and none of
less than two, while this is his first
year in the work. The contests were
well filed, there being at least twelve
contestants in each one of them.
Madison lost her former prestige in
these contests when the final ranking
of all the schools represented gave West
Allis first place, Kenosha second and
Madison third with the other five
schools who sent representatives COM
peting for last honors Tt is truly a
notable victory for the accuracy and
efficiency Of the local course inasmuch
as this is only the second year that
they have entered while many of the
other schools have had many years ex-
perience.
