day evening. Mr.. Casselberry had Iiv-
ed retired life for many years and
had spent much of his time with his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. William C. Cas-
selberry, at Lake Forest. His death
was due to natural breaking down

This is Kenosha s first list of "Hon-
or Men," selected to carry the colors
Of Kenosha to the cantonment of the
new National Army and next Thursday
morning just after o'clock, in com
mand of one of their number they will
leave Kenosha for Battle Creek On
Thursday afternoon they will be among
the men in camp with the army
It is expected that these fourteen men,
the first to be contributed to the great
selected army of the nation will be Civ
en- one Of the most notable sends-offs
known in Kenosha since the days of
the Civil War. The members of the
exemption board are urging the loyal
people of Kenosha to provide for
great outpouring of the people to start
these men off to camp with a cheer
and smile. They are to be shown
the honor due to them for they are the
first men selected to fight for the rest
of the men in Kenosha.
Eleven of the men were selected on
account of the fact that their numbers
were drawn first in the list drawn for
Kenosha. The other three men asked
the permission of the board to be sent
with the first list of Kenosha troops
going to the cantonment. Harvotune
Ahronian was the 295th man drawn
from Kenosha but he went to the mem
hers of the board and declared that he
wanted to be the first man sent for
army service. Gehring had tried to
rtt into the service before and he has
heen one of the helpers of the exe0p
ton board. He asked to be included
in the first list regardless Of the fact
that he was far down on the list Of
names Of men called for service. Tom
Gibson. in going away with The troops,
Is fulfilling his ambition to be sci
der. He escaped certification for serv-
ice by the local board. Doctors, two of
them. declared him physically unfit.
Before he was called for examination
or for registration he made an effort to
enlist in the aviation corps, then he
tried the ambulance corps but they de-
cHned to take him. Finally he insisted
that another examination of him be
made and this time he was passed by
the physicians. He filed no exemption
and told the members of the board
that he wanted to be one of the first
men sent out of Kenosha.
The plans for the departure Of these
men have all been made. They will not
be actually called into the service of
the United States until the morning they
are to entrain for the encampment. 1t
is certain that every one of them viii
be on hand at that time ready to 90
and fight for his country. Six differ
emit nationalities are represented in the
first group of men selected from Ke-
nosha.
The plans fOE the big demonstration
to be held in honor of the men going
away to war will be made the first part
of the week and it is expected that these
men will be given the same cordial-fare-
well as was given to the members of
the militia companise when they left
for Camp Douglas.

Kenosha was liberal in the entertain
ment provided for the members of the
Grand Army Of the Republic at the re-
cent state elcampment here. This is
shown by the report of the receipts and
disbursements of the committee in
charge which have just been made pub
lie. More than forty-five hundred dol
lars was received in contributions to
the fund for the entertainment Of the
veterans and with this fund every ex-
pense in connection with the most sue
cessful reunion ever held by Grand
Army men in Wisconsin was promptly
paid. Tho report of the auditing COM
mittee shows that there remained a bal.
ance Of $482.71 and it is probable that
this amount will be placed in the reg
ular funds of the Fred S. Lowell Post
to meet its regular expenses in the fu-
ture. The report of the auditing COM

Patients and Big Crowd of People
Enjoy Excellent Concert Given
on Friday Evening.

The Since band showed its willing
ness to bring little pleasure into sad
dened lives on Friday night when the
members of the band gave one of the
best concerts that it has offered out on
the lawn at Willowbrook. The Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company had
made all the lighting arrangements for
the concert and in addition to the
patients of the hospital great crowd
of people gathered. The concert pro-
gram was one of unusual charm and
its rendition brought out the best eff
forts of the splendid musical organiza-
tion. Willowbrook was not unmindful
of the work of the musicians and after
the concert was over a luncheon was
serving in the dining room at the sana-
forum. The members of the band are
making elaborate arrangements for the
concert on next Wednesday night. In
addition to program of high merit
there is to be featured vocal duet by
Mr.. Hawke and Miss Becker.
