There is a movement on foot to get
money for our Wauwatosa boys who
are in the army to secure funds to
buy tobacco. There are petitions at
the drug store, near the bridge and at
the barber shop, where you can sign
and give as much as you desire. The
money is for Wauwatosa boys only.
A typographical error was made in
last weeks issue of this paper in the
last item of the local news, giving an
account of the marriage of one OF our
Wauwatosa young ladies. The bride
was Miss jeanette Wade, a favorite
with many of our citizens. We beg
your pardon, please, but accidents
sometimes happen in the best regu-
lated families"

The recital given by Miss Salome
Wilson, last Friday evening at the
NJ. E. Church, proved success, and
was indeed treat to the public. Miss
Wilson proved her ability as a reader
by her portrayal of the dramatic and
patriotic. She amused her audience
greatly by her rendition of 1.-The Re-
forming of Bridegroom in Pennsyl-
vania Dutch dialect. In her Songs
You Know" Miss Wilson brought
tender feeling of sentiment to the au-
dience, and THE Rosary" was espec-
tally effective 1.-The Maker of
Dreams" was sweet little English
fantasy of love and tenderness. Her
last number, When the Fleet Goes
By" brought out a fine patriotic spirit,
and made every one present thrill
with true American patriotism
