SCHOOL BOARD TO
PROVIDE PLAY GROUNDS
Park Board Gives Consent for Use of
BoAds Woods, But it Has no
Money for Equipment

Bonds Woods Park is to be convert
ed into play ground for the children
during the summer months and the cost
of installing play ground apparatus will
be charged to the recreation fund, in
the hands of the Board Of Education.
The Park Board met with the wider
use committee of the Board of Educa-
ton ON Monday evening and while the
board was willing to permit the use of
portions Of the park for play ground
purposes, it had no funds to provide
equipment. Members of the School
Board decided that the need of play
grounds was sufficiently urgent to
warrant taking funds from the school
recreation funds.
The wide use committee of the
School Board has also decided to in
stall tennis courts on the Y. M. G. A.
property on South street; on the Lin
coin school grounds, and possibly later
on the Sheridan Road play ground park
if the Park Board can get this tract of
land in condition for such use.

"National Army, I am from Wiseon-

tag bearing this motto will hereafter
be worn by Wisconsin draft men when
they go to camp. The first consignment
of these tags have already been print
ed, and sent by E. A. Fitzpatrick to To-
cal boards all over the state today.
Large consignments have been sent to
Milwaukee to be used by draft men
who will leave that city in the near

have uniform tags. Sample copies
of the tags have been sent to Wash

HOT: DINNER AWAITS
HUNGRY KENOSHA BOYS
Trip to Rockford is Made Without
Incident and is Accompanied by
Many Ovations at Stations.

Kenosha select men who went to
Rockford on Monday had a memorable
trip and they met with ovations at
every station along the western divi-
sion. Kenosha county towns had heard
that their soldier boys were coming
and at every village along the route
crowds of people were ON the platform
and gifts were showered upon q our
boys" as they made their final stop at
'home' before going into the army
It was jolly crowd aboard the train.
Some kind hearted patriot back in Ke-
nosha had sent along a supply of cigars
ten centers'' and they were distri-
buted through the ears so that the
boys could have a real smoke. Then
there were cigarettes and chocolate and
a lot of other nice little things which
broke up the monotony of the trip.
The Y. M. G. A. workers were on the
train in force and a quartette went
from car to car furnishing music.
The train reached Rockford at 1880
with driving rain storm in progress.
The men were hustled to the camp
where hot dinner was awaiting them
and in ten minutes after dinner they
were off to detention headquarters
to check in.
Every one of the men sent from
Kenosha county checked in on SEIZED
uled time. It will be two weeks be-
fore the men are assigned to the divi-
sions of the army.

hours before they could get the in
formation from the newspapers.
