| liver short addresses at every town Wis
tied by the company Of boosters.

Besides the passengers the automo-

turn out at these places to greet the
Retailers and their friends so that every
man, woman and child in the county
may have reminder of this, the great
est trip the retailers ever had through
the county.
TThis will be purely and entirely a
| patriotic trip on the part of the Keno
sha Retailers Association and the
| speakers which will accompany them
will devote the remarks wholly to pa
triotic subjects and to the boosting of
the Fourth Liberty Loan, and the band
will have a repertoire of all that is
latest and best in the realm Of patri-
otto music as well as the old tunes that
are ever new.
The automobiles will be decked in
| flags, banners, bunting, flowers, and the
procession will be most beautiful to be-
| hold
Tt is hoped that the same spirit Of
| patriotism will take possession of the
people among whom the boosters will
pass that actuates the Kenosha retailers
and that they will turn out to see the
big event but will join in the festivi-
ties Of the day and assist in making
this really the greatest booster trip ever
had in the county.
One Of the purposes of the trip is to
bring the people of the city and the
country closer together, and the whole
day will be in the nature Of a get
| together meeting, where old acquaint-
ances may be renewed and new ones
made and that both new and old ac-
quaintances may be so firmly cemented
| together that there will never be a
chance of estrangement between the
parties to it.
Now that our boys from Kenosha
county and from the state of Wisconsin
and the land of America are joining
hands with the boys from France, Eng
land, Italy and other Of the allied
countries and fighting shoulder to
shoulder with them, let all of the peo-
pie here at home take one day off to
get closer together in an effort to form
more solid phalanx behind them so
that the united effort of all the people
may be used to greater and better adj
vantage, both for them over there, but
also for those who are left behind in
battle line on this side.
