Senator Thomas j. O'Neill,
Chickasha, Okla.
My Dear Senator have your
favor of the 18th. inst and was sur
prised to know that you had an op-
ponent. In tines such as these it is
hardly befitting that any person
make struggle for a political Of
flee, inasmuch as the country needs
the entire energy Of each Of its
citizens in other lines, than political
activities. Again it would appear
that those already serving the people
where that service has been reason
able successful, should be retained to-
assist in carrying forward the pub
tice work, It would appear just as
reasonable to change our generals,
in a war campaign, as to change our
public servants at II time like this.

your opponents, but without regard
TO thcig ability, they cannot hope
to accomplish much during the first

perience, and as it is, the state will

Relative to the local institution at

the institution will not have a more
successful representative in the fu
ture, chan it has had in the past.
Your position on the committee on
appropriations gives you great adj
vantage, and this position you can

For the best interest of the state, as
well as the local college, am sur9
that you should be returned to the

complished

tion that you may have viii develop

it should hope that you will feel

Wishing you success, aud with

CYRUS H. K. CURTIS.

A passage in a story Rudyard Kipllns
was writing for Mr.. Curtis referred to
the hero, in his excitement and despair,
gulping down a glass of brandy. As
Mr.. Curtis objects to any reference to in
toxicating liquors in his publications, he
telegraphed to Mr.. Kipling asking him
10 change the passage He received the
following reply. "Strike out brandy
and insert Mellins Food"
Curtis first adventure in the publishing
business was made on borrowed capital,
but his determination to push ahead and
ability to hold on soon enabled him to get
out OF debt and place his magazine
among the leaders,
His ability to build II clearly shown in
his efforts with the Saturday Evening
Post. When he purchased 1t, it was in
a deplorable condition with circulation
not over a hundred and scarcely no adj
vertlsing. One editor was all it could
boast but through his untiring efforts and
shrewd business management it now
boasts thirty editors and q million and
q half circulation.
He is determined. snterprising, and
thoroughly self-relient Absolute honesty
In all things is his motto.
The protection Of his readers in ths
nefarious advertisements IS a matter Of
history in the publishing world.

physicians of the city and he is giving
up very large practice in order to do
his part in making the world a decent

as a special courtesy to Mr.. Dawson, all
Red Cross workers who may visit the
Exposition on that day are asked to
wear their uniforms.
Hundreds Of thousands of women
workers in their immaculate uniforms
win mean a magnificent display for
"the Angels of Mercy" and thousands
Of visitors are looking forward to the
event with much interest. Tt is ex-
pected that moving pictures will be
taken, which eventually will be shown
over there to our own boys who are
doing the real work in our fight for
democracy.
The object of the exposition and
Of the Red Cross participation in it,
is to stimulate patriotism and a clearer
understanding of our part in the war.
It is national and international in scope
and it will be well worth a visit by
those engaged in Red Cross work.
There is no doubt but that the Ke-
nosha Red Cross Chapter will be well
represented at the Exposition on We'd
nesday. 1t is just possible that in or
der that their workers in uniform win
count in the great panorama of the
day, the Kenosha women viii attend in
groups, each taking her apron and Golf
with her to wear in honor Of the
speaker of the day.

Annual Holiday Of Toll is Hard Hit by

Labor Day failed to win a smile from

Of rain which he handed out for the
greater part of the day played havoc
with plans for the observance of the
day in Kenosha. Only little hand
full Of people went out to Central park
to attend the annual Labor Day picnic
and while the committees in charge
made an effort to carry out the pro-
gram the picnic was not success. The
Municipal band concert arranged for
Bond s Woods and the Municipal dance
planned for the sailors also gave way
on account of the rain.
Out at the Country club the annual
Labor Day handicap matches were
staged with very small classes COM
peting and the annual play for the
club championship was eliminated this
year. Players will play final matches
for the Labor Day trophies on We'd

The city was closed down tight in
honor Of the holiday for toll but for
the most part the day was one of the
grayest ever known in Kenosha.

Kenosha Man, Left With the
National Army in April,
Dies from Disease Near
Battle Line.
PROMINENT AMONG MOOSE
Madison Letters Bring the Word That
Claude Forbes Has Been Seriously
Wounded in Western Offensive
Degree of Wounds Not Stated.

Another Kenosha man has given his
life in the great battle for world free
dom as on Monday the officials Of the
Loyal Order of Moose received a tele-
gram fom the Office of the adjutant
geneal stating that Bernard j. Man
they, Kenosha, had died in France.
Private Manthey was serving with the
engineers and he died from an acute
hemorrhage of the pancreas on Aug.
18th. 1t is not believed that he was
wounded in action.
Private Manthey was a member of
the quota of selected men that left Ke-
nosha on April goth last and after a
short training at Camp Custer he was
sent to France with the van guard of
the eighty fifth division. He had been in
action and recent letters received from
him told Of his work on the battle line.
These letters brought no warning of
his serious illness.
Manthey was one OF the men repre-
sented by the sixty-four stars on the
service flag Of the Kenosha Lodge Of
the Loyal Order OF Moose and ne was
one Of the most enthusiastic members
Of the order in Kenosha. Before leav-
ing for army training he had been en-
ployed by Alderman Ernest Schroeder.
Private Manthey had been trans
ferred from the infantry to the en-
cheering corps before he left Camp
Custer He is survived by his mother
who resided in Sheboygau and brother
Anton B. Manthey, who is resident
Of Kenosha. The remains have been
buried in the American cemetery near
the base hospital in France.
