Heavy Rainfall of Monday Night and
Today Promises to Bring Buster
Crops in the County.

The farmers who drove into Kenosha
over the muddy roads today were all
smiles and everywhere that the farm
ers congregated they were talking
about the Fmillion dollar' rain of
Monday night and today. The rain
fall was general all over this section
of the country and the farmers declar-
ed that with this rain right at the
proper time that the district was GO
ing to be assured crop Of pretty
nearly everything. 1t is certain that
the rain has added tens of thousands
of bushels of corn to the corn crop of
Kenosha county and that the wheat,
just ripening, is going to be an infinite
ly better yield on account of the rain,
It came just in time to be of greatest
help to the late potatoes and the farm
ers now believe that what looked like
bad prospect for potatoes will be
turned into real crop. Tie thrift
gardens are also greatly improved by
the rain and it is certain that
the yield of the gardens will be great
ly increased.

Are the patriotic women of Kenosha
willing to match their patriotic serv-
ices with the same services rendered
by the men of the cityg
This is the question that is being
asked by members of the city local ex.
emption board. Ever since the draft
Jaw was passed patriotic, men of the
CITY have been serving free to aid Uncle
Sam raise his army to fight the Huns
With repeated calls for men, the
young men Of the city who can dc
work in the Office of the exemption
board have been pretty well exhausted
and the board today is issuing a call
for twenty patriotic young women OF

Ito aid in this work.
The work is not going to be hard
They are wanted to aid in the arrang'
ing of files, the copying of records and
The filing out of blanks to aid in the
great work of getting Kenosha young
men registered SO that they may be
called into the service of the nation.
I'VE believe that the women of Ke
nosha will respond to this call, said
One of the members of the board this
morning. ''We are head over ears in
work and with draft calls coming along
every few days we have not been able
no take care of q lot of necessary work
that has been placed on the board. The
women of the city should have a part
I'm the great work of raising the army
This work is just as necessary as fight
ing in the trenches and the call we are
issuing now is for women to serve Gin
the army" With twenty patriotic
women giving short period of their
intelligence and their handiWork to the
board we would be able to get all OF
The work cleaned up. This work should
prove especially attractive to young
girls in high school, to school teachers
and to stenographers and others who
Feel that they should tender some
patriotic service to their country in
their spare time.
The women of Kenosna have met
every call that the war has made upor
them and it is certain that they viii
meet this call for army service. !"
The work is being laid out at Room
at the City Hall with the confident
feeling on the part of members Of
Of the board that the women will
