This list Of Honor Men is now
hanging in the parlors of the Congre-
gational Church in Kenosha. It repre-
SCENTS the members of the Congrega-
tional Men 8 Club who are serving
in the armies of Uncle Sam and was
presented to the association at dinner
held at the church on Monday evening.
The NAM s of the volunteers are writ
ten large on a card emblazoned with
the arms of the Allied powers and
framed in polished mahogany. The
trophy was unveiled by Walter Ham
mond, president of the club, at ban
quot ia which the Four-Minute- Men of
Kenosha were the guests Of honor. The
latter were ably represented on the pro-
gram by A. E. Buckmaster, their
"General,'' and Judge Clarkson, who
delivered one of the most eloquent pa
triotic addresses ever heard in this city.
AT seven CLOCK the members of the
club and their guests assembled in the
church parlors for the dinner and
"tallfest" which followed Gracious
ly received by committee appointed
for that purpose the jewellers were
soon at home in an admirable atmos-
phere Of sociability and patriotism.
The banquet which followed was char
acterized by the same spirit not to
mention a menu that would make most
any stag party successful. "Swiss
steak" hot rolls, and apple pie fea-
tured the "bill Of eatsp and made
" everybody happy for the coffee and
Etoasts" which concluded the even
ing's festivities.
''Toasts yes, that's what they
call them because they re usually so
"dry," but in this instance they cutie
beled their name. After-dianer speech
es, with the accent on the I" speeches.
is the more appropriate term in this
instance. President Hammond presid-
ed as POSTMASTER and introduced the
various orators of the evening. "Gen-
eral" Buckmaster started the fireworks
with rousing prese ltation of the ma
ture and purpose of the I" -Four Minute
Men" Logical aud concise, his speech
gave a clear conception of the Battalion
of Oratory from the standpoint of or
ganization and general results. A more
detailed report of the work from a
''private IS" point of view was pre-
scented by Earl Marlatt, who semi
seriously-or was it half-humorously-
described his experience as a Four
Minuto-Man in Kenosha. He was sue
eeeded by Judge Clarkson, who made
the real address IF the evening with
an eloquence and power unsurpassed in
the history of the club.
"Some of you may rccall,'' began
the judge, the vigorous little verse
that begins I'm a double iointed
huckleberry, aching FOR fight. Well,
I'm a Four Minute-Man huckleberry,
whose blue hue is owing to imposed
construction of speech" Then with a
rich vein of humor the judge explained
the peculiar relief he felt in knowing
that he had unlimited time to speak
and that the operator would not be
getting nervous after he had passed
the four-minute mark.
More Seriously he continued,
the world is in the throes of new
birth. What the child will be, perhaps
no one on earth can tell. Perhaps some,
now here have glimpsed ahead in time
and are aware of the future s store for
us and ALL Some through vision in the
past have claimed to know Some
through vision in the present now claim
to know. Many believe that the great
prophecy of old is in the course of full
fllment-' Nation shall rise against ma
ton, and kingdom against kingdom
and then shall they see the Son of Man
