Looping along in Kenosha today and
Uncle Sam was busy checking up sales

that the sale Of the bonds today was

Willingness to pledge their credit to
buy more bonds
No one on earth could tell just how
many bonds have been sold in Ken
osha up to noon today" said one of
the members of the committee. "There
has been steady stream Of applica-
tions and the banks are selling
hundreds Of bonds over the counter
The big factories are working out their
lists rapidly but not one of them has
been able to make complete report
and the reports that could be given
today would be nothing more than esti-
mates We have just had report
from the tannery that the men en-
ployed there have taken over 5000
worth Of the bonds in the big drive
that started on Tuesday morning but
the full report is not ready and the
same is true of every other of the big
industrial plants. We know that the
Kenosha people are buying bonds as
they never bought them before. The
big news from over on the Western
trent is doing a lot to add enthusiasm
to the sale in Kenosha. A lot Of our
boys are fighting right in the thick
Of it and the people back home feel
deeply the call for them to get behind
the advancing Kenosha troops"
The thirty FIVE committees of the
Retailers Association which made the
rounds OF the stores on Tuesday got
away big and these reports while not
complete as yet show sale of a total
Of $25,500 worth of the bonds. Many
of the Retail merchants had purchased
through other agencies and lot of
them declared that they were ready to
buy more bonds if it was necessary to
put Kenosha over the top.
The sale in the county is going for
ward with lot Of enthusiasm. Som
ers brought in the first report on Tues
day. It showed that Somers had sold
$500 worth of bonds in the first two
days of the sale.
The total quota for the county out
side the city is pretty close to half a
million dollars and it is believed that
the county will go over the quota. Or
ganized work to push the bond sales
is being carried forward in every
town of the county.

The street car in charge of Motor

two came together at the crossing with

around, threw the car off the track and
threw the three passengers in the car

Motorman Reise said that his car
was probably travelling at a rate Of
ten miles an hour. He said that he
did not see the truck coming in time
to come to standstill but that before
the collision occurred he had shut off
the power of the car. Rommelfnger,
who was driving the truck, declared
that he had sounded his horn at the
corner and that he was running at a
low rate of speed. He declared tha+
he attempted to turn his truck to the
east and avoid the collision but that
the car was coming at such high rate
of speed that it was impossible for him
to make the turn. The motorman de
clared that he was ringing the bell and
witnesses said that they had heard the
bell just before the collision but that it
had rung for only a short time.
The smash up of the car tied up
traffic on the lines for half an hour.

tional institutions having the proper
facilities of doing the work, prepare
tory training courses for pupil nurses.

first of the Kansas schools to offer this
course The course was to begin the
first of October. but on account of the
prevalence of the influenza it was
postponed until December l.

this course are: That the candidates
shall be graduates from some ac-
credited high school, or its equivalent;
shall be of excellent health, and at
least 20 years of age. 1t is desired
that no one engaged in teaching shall
be taken from her work, nor that any
one who has already entered college
shall be taken from her school.
