SAGE SAYS: "BUY BONDS
Professor Eugene Davenport Of the Uni
versity of Illinois Comments on
the Third Liberty Loan.

Showing that investment in Liberty
Bonds is not sacrifice but common
sense, Professor Eugene Davenport,
Dean of the College of Agriculture at
the University of Illinois, has sent the
following message to the citizens of
Kenosha:
'"All war means loss. There is no
way for anybody to profit in time of
war except by means that are either
disloyal or piratical This war calls
for sacrifice. Some will sacrifice their
hands and arms, others their feet and
legs, still others their eyes, and more
than ten millions of men, women and
children already have sacrificed their
lives in the great struggle to determine
whether Liberty shall perish from the
earth.
FEvery loyal man, woman and child
will be willing to sacrifice all that he
or she has to give. From this country
only the soldier will be called upon
to sacrifice life or limb, but everybody
is called upon to sacrifice in food, in
clothing, in comfort, and in property.
"The Liberty bond is not a call to
sacrifice. It is financial investment
at rate higher than is afforded in
many lines of business. The invest
ment is as safe as the government it
self. I wish sometimes that the Liber-
ty bond were call to sacrifice, for if
we lose the war it will be through the
failure of our civil population to learn
the lesson of sacrifice. Will the bonds
be lost if we lost the war; Possibly,
and SO will the title to our homes. If
we lose the war, the deed to the farm
er's home is not worth the paper it is
written on. Therefore we economic,
save, scrimp, wear old clothes, rake and
scrape in every way to get funds for
Liberty bonds. Then shall we win the
war. In no other way can it be done.
How much are we who do not fight
willing to sacrifice? How much will
we earn and save in order to win the
war;"

LINE UP FOR LIBERTY LOAN.
Simmons Company superintendent and
Foremen Continue Organization
at Monday Dinner,

Lining up for the Liberty Loan drive
in the Simmons Company factory, was
the chief business which occupied the
attention of the superintendent and
foremen of the Simmons Company at
their regular dinner and meeting
held Monday evening at the Elks Club
rooms. Otis L. Trenary started it off
with a timely -Four Minute Man" ad-
dress in which he appealed to the men
to use every influence to back the
soldiers with money. An additional
subscription of S., 900 was taken and
plans made for a canvass of the en-
ployees of the factory. Following the
regular business meeting, a song fest,
full of melody and enthusiasm, was
staged by the simeoes, with the Sim
co orchestra to help along with the
festivities.

A SCHOOL and CHURCH
Parish Plans to Use Site on Corner Of
Anton and Selleck Street, Extended,
for School and Church for Kenosha
Italians, to BE Started Soon.

The dream for a mission for the
italian population Of Kenosha took a
long step towards realization on Mon
day afternoon when papers were signed
by which Anton Westerhoven, long a
resident Of Kenosha, gave the Holy
Rosary Parish site of land on Anton
street which is to be used for the es-
Enlistment of the st. Joseph IS Mis-
sion. The plot of land is situated on
the west side of Anton Street and at
what would be the northwest corner
Of Selleck avenue, if it was extended
cast from Pleasant street. 1t has a
frontage of 129 feet on Anton street
and l07 feet on Selleck avenue and will
furnish large enough location for the
expansion of the work among the
growing italian population of Kenosha.
1t is valued at $4,000.
The benefactor, now more than
eighty years of age, has long desired
to start movement for a mission
among the Italians of Kenosha. He
realized that the Holy Rosary Church
and school has been inadequate to
meet the demands placed upon them
and feels that his gift will help great
ly to solve the problem. Tt is given
with the provision that it shall be
used for religious purposes, under the
auspices of the Holy Rosary Parish.
The land was transferred to the archa
bishop under whose direction the work
will continue in the near future.
The gift was gladly received by Rev.
Peter Perardi, the pastor of the Holy
Rosary Church, who welcomes the OBJ
portunity of expanding the work of
the parish to approximate the needs of
the italian population. Tt is the plan
Of the parish to build school and
church on the property as soon as pos
sible, which shall be know as st.
Joseph s Mission. The quarters of the
Holy Rosary School have long been
inadequate and this will furnish a
suitable addition to the buildings Of the
parish. A house which is on the pre-.
misses is also included in the gift and
will probably be utilized for the new
structure.
While no definite plans have been
considered by the parish, it is consider.
ed probable by the members of the
committee which accepted the gift, that
four room structure, built so that ad.
ditions may be, made, will be started
in the near future. This will provide
g small chapel and rooms for school
and will leave opportunity for rebuild,
ing whenever the parish may be fnan-
Cially able to continue their work.

The Opium Habit.

There are three different forms OF
taking opium. Some people, for exam
pie the Turks, eat it; others, like the
Chinese, smoke it, while the inhabi-
tants of more civilized countries usual
ly drink it as laudanum. The drug is
obtained from the unripe fruit Of the
common white poppy. Incisions are
made in the heads Of the plant, from
which a creamy Juice exudes, harden
ing on its exposure to the air. This is
scraped off and made up into small
cakes, in which form it is sold. The
confirmed opium eater or smoker re-
duces himself to an indescribably
wretched state Of mind and body, and
very seldom lives to be forty If the
practice has been acquired at an early
period in life.

Great Conclave to Begin on Thursday
at the Cathedral in Milwaukee.

Thirty-Second Degree Masons in
Kenosha are anxiously awaiting the
great convention of their order to be
held in Milwaukee the latter part of

of the Consistory and consequently will
attract large attendance from Ken
osha.

recently sent out from Milwaukee, j.
A. Watrous passes the following COM
ment on the gathering:
fThe ffty-ffth semi-annua1 reunion
of the Wisconsin Consistory of the Ac-
cepted Ancient Scottish Rite of Free
Masonry will begin in the cathedral,
corner of Van Buren, and Oneida
streets, at l O'Clock, on Monday after
noon and end Thursday night with
the customary banquet, in which 1000
thirty-second degree Masons will parti-
cipate.
cit will be the third assembling of
the consistory since the United States
took its place by the side of its allies
in the war.
CAT the session last May, the con
sistory dedicated the highest Liberty
pole in the state. Every day since
then the national emblem has been
displayed. IF the day was clear, it
was large flag; if stormy, smaller
one, known as storm flag, appeared. =

miss Henderson Serves wen.


Mrs. Edward Hammett of Milwau-
kee, president of the Wisconsin branch
of the National Congress of Mothers
and Parent-Teachers' associations, has
been made a member of the advisory
council of the woman's committee,
Wisconsin State Council of Defense.
Splendid work is being done by Miss
Henderson in her food demonstrations
under the Home Economics Committee
of the County Council of Defense. The
women in the country are showing much
interest and on last Thursday class
Of fifty were present for the demon
stration at Bristol. On Tuesday, Miss
Henderson will give a demonstration
before the italian women at $3.50 in the
afternoon in the Balm school. On We'd
nesday she goes to Woodwork for a
demonstration and on Thursday at 2:30
she is to meet the women of the Ger
man Lutheran church, with their
friends, at the German Lutheran school.
Miss Henderson is an interchangeable
worker and as her mornings are COM
paratively free she would be more than
willing to give time and help to any
housekeeper who is perplexed over the
pressing question of feeding her family
and at the same time obeying the
rules of conservation.

Yiddish,

Yiddish is a term used to designate
a language which is spoken at the pres
ent moment by some millions Of peo-
pie. Strictly speaking, Yiddish is not
a language, nor dialect, but jargon
the jargon used by Judeo-German
communities dwelling chiefly in Ger
many and Russia, and by the immi-
grants coming from those countries to
the United States. Yiddish owes its
existence to the persecution to which
the Jews were subjected in Germany
at the time of the Reformation. Its es-
sential basis is high German, with an
admixture of Hebraic and Slavic ele-
ments.

admire them because they do 1t
all with smile. !" This is the high
tribute paid to the English people by
Corporal Frank Singer, better known as
"Sweet" Singer, Kenosha soldier in
old Company NJ now attached to the
Headquarters Of the 128th Infantry,
Somewhere in England,'' in recent
letter to his mother Mrs. Hilda Singer
of APT Tully Court. It is a special
message to the chronic kickers-if there
are any in Kenosha - sent by special
request from the Kenosha soldiers
nearest the fighting line and is worthy
the consideration Of all the folks back
home.
GA body can easily see that Eng
land is at war; writes the Kenosha
Corporal. ."Good night! At home I
have heard them kick on our wheatless
and meatless days-I wish all Of those
chronic kickers would spend month
OF so over here. No matter how hard a
man works he is allowed only one
pound of meat week and now heat
at all, a pound Of sugar is worth a
fortune, every night is lightless night
not even the street lights are burning,
every place you look women are doing
men IS work, as in factories we passed
we saw them shoveling coal and I ad-
mire them because they do it all with
a smile. +" The corporal adds that the
situation does not mean that Great
Britain is starving or anything like
that-they are just saving to the limit
to beat the Hun.
The letter also contains items of in
terest in regard to other Kenosha sol
diers in England. "The first thing I
ran into when I arrived here was old
Company "M" now Truck Company
B, who were on the ETuscania. They
are all as happy as ever and all well
though some of them have had the
mumps and they say they can't give
too much praise to the people Of Ireland
where they were landed for their
splendid treatment of them. Arthur
Junker is the only one missing and no
trace Of him has as yet been found"
"When I told Albert Larsen he was
father it was the first he knew that
he had a nine pound son at home and
believe me, he was tickeled to death
almost. The boys all call him "dad-
dy" now. Don't worry now; we are
as safe here as we were in the States.
When we get into any real danger,
I'll let you know; until then, heads
up and smile-we II all be back better
for our experience. !"
Private David Goldstein, son of Mr..
and Mrs. L. Goldstein, also has written
a message from England, where he has
landed safe and sound and ready for ac-
tive fighting against the boche. "Abe"
-as Private Goldstein was known be-
fore he shouldered gun is having
troubles of his own. '"I got some Eng
lish money" he writes, "but I don u
know how much it is. When I get
something I get my hand full of small
change and let them take what they
say is right. Everything is new to me
here but it viii not take long to get
used to the ways" He closes with
praise for the English and American
Y.M.C.A which has done so much for
this company of Kenosha soldiers.
