CHAIN SHOP SALE OF THRIFT STAMPS
 IS OVER THE TOP

The American Chain company, in corporated, has gone "Over the Top" in their sale of Thrift Stamps.
 Starting March 25, they have just concluded 16 weeks of active cam- paigning for a grand total of stamp sales, $6, 6,25S.4O which, for an average number of employees covering the en- tire period of 800, amounts to s12.53 nearly equivalent to one $50 bond year. Considering that in the in terim, the Third Liberty Bond cam Cross drive, this is record that they may we'll be proud of.
 The sale in the factory Is conducted by the foremen, while in the office 10 young ladies are doing the solicit ing. The campaign has taught thrift where it never existed before. Thrift Stamp cards and War Saving Stamp certificates are proudly exhibited wherever employees gather for social chat during the idle moments. This is noticeable among employees of for eign birth, particularly our Allies from Sunny Italy. If an employe sewers his connection for any reason and has paid installments on Liberty Bonds, stamps are rendered for such money and in most cases cheerfully accepted.
 Frequently in the First Aid Depart ment where an employe has been given attention for some slight in- jury, his gratitude is shown by vol untarily buying a Thrift Stamp or two. Several weeks ago, a Thrift Stamp club was formed within the company along the lines of the Bridgepost War Savings club by near ly every employe signing a pledge to buy a certain number of Thrift Stamps each week The several col lectors are now making a thorough canvass to learn how many employees failed. to register or to sign the Ma tional War Savings pledge at their homes and pledges will be secured for such derelicts and turned over to the local chairman of the War Savings committee.
 Small illustrated cards are enclosed each week in the pay envelopes, each card telling the story of Thrift, illus trating the life of some prominent American and appealing to the patri- otism of the workmen and encourag- ing them to invest their savings in government securities. These cards are in series and will cover 26 weeks for the balance of the year and should further stimulate the sales of Thrift Stamps.

Social Happenings

attaining a position of influence and
distinction in this field than in many
Of the more crowded professions,
especially those where the prior
claims of men may put woman at
some disadvantage.
g Nursing is essentially democratic,
and women of any race, color, creed
or social position are admitted to its
ranks if they have the essential quail
ties and preparation demanded. 1t is
calling, however, which treasures
the proudest traditions. All down the
centuries it has had the service of
women of rare character and social
spirit and often of marked ability and
distinction. AS in other professions,
the social position of the individual
members is what they themselves make
it, but nurses as a class have dignl-
fed place in the community and their
social status is similar to that Of
other professional women.

To Young Women Of Wisconsin:

Many of you have written to me
in the past year asking me to sug-
gest ways in which You might serve
your country. Sometimes | have
not been able to direct you to any
thing very definite. But today your
call has come. The government
needs $4,000 girls to fill up the
ranks of the Student Nurse Reserve.
1t has asked Wisconsin to enroll
1850. What are you going to do
about ita You girls who are afame
with patriotism and who have been
eating your hearts out because there
seemed little that you could dog
When the call came to your bro
theirs and your sweethearts they left
their work and their studies and
responded, eagerly and joyously.
They have gone into training camps
and overseas into the far flung line
of battle and we who must stay be-
hind are thrilled and uplifted by
our pride in these splendid youths.
Now comes your opportunity your
chance to make the whole state as
proud of its girls as it is Of its boys.
They heard the call of their country
and responded. Will you do lessg

APPROXIMATION FOR VICTORY
Rev. George PAUL Terrence Sargent
Speaks at st. Matthews Church Sun
day on Work Being Done for the
Men in the United States Navy.

The attention of America is so riv-
eted upon the struggle at Chateau
Thierry and in the pocket Of the
Marine, that we are apt to forget the
cardinal fact that but for the services
Of the navy and the merchant marine
the other events would be impossible.
This fact was brought home forcibly
to Kenosha people on Sunday morning
when the Rev. George PAUL Terrence
Sargent, M. a., rector Of Grace church,
Grand Rapids, and chaplain Of the
naval forces at Camp Logan, and
assistant chaplain of the Great Lakes
Training Station, preached at st. Mat
thew's church here.
While the army is supplied with
men by the draft the replenishment of
of the navy is entirely by voluntary
enlistments, said Mr.. Sargent, and
few Of us have any idea Of the mag
nitude of the work Of the navy, either
in this country or in France, where
three seaports have been turned over
to the American forces, where miles OF
store houses have been built and dock
age and wharves to accommodate
hundreds Of ships. Four locomotives
of the largest type are turned out
every cay in shops and the work OF the
navy can not be over estimated. =
Mr.. Sargent made a strong plea for
support of the navy as one of the
great contributing features to the sue
cess of the American army
Mr.. Sargent knows the navy as few
men know it. Thousands of young men
of all sorts and conditions, pass through
his hands and the tact and sympathy
required to meet the situations, cali
for infinite resource Of mind and char
acter Mr.. Sargent spoke of the thous-
ands of letters which must be written
every week to maintain the proper
relationship between the boys 10
the camp and their social circles IN
the home town.
At the service the Rev. Charles
Everett Mccoy, rector of the church,
made a strong appeal to the members
Of the parish to aid in the great drive
that is being made for the enlistment
of nurses to aid in army work.

Aggressive Campaign Being
Made to Secure a County
Visiting Nurse in Every
Wisconsin County.
kENOsHA STILL DELINQUENT

At least one county nurse IN every
county in Wisconsin, is the slogan
under which aggressive campaigns for
the employment of county nurses are
being organized in connection with the
Children s Year Drive for the saving
of baby lives in several Wisconsin
counties. The extension of public
health nursing service in rural and
small town communities is being en-
phasized by the Child Welfare Depart
ment Of the Woman's Committee of the
State Council Of Defense as one of the
most important factors in an adequate
state program for the saving Of the
Wisconsin quota of 2,410 lives.
Campaigns already initiated indicate
that resolutions asking for the employ
ment of county nurses as a needed de-
Tense measure will be presented to a
large number Of county boards of sup.
ervisors at the November meetings. IN
these campaigns the local defense
council COMMITTEES are having the co
operation of the Wisconsin Anti
Tuberculosis Association which secured
the law authorizing the employment Of
county nurses. and which has been in
strumental IN securing the appropria
tions in those counties which now en-
ploy nurses. Within the last month
the association has furnished local COM
nittees with thousands of copies of its
Illustrated pamphlet, What the Pub
lie Health Nurse May Mean to You"
for distribution.
Certainty Of an increased demand
for both county and city nurses has
also influenced the association to begin
its fall course for public health nurses
early in September, thus making grad
yates available for county and city
positions in January. There viii be a
large number of openings as a result
-of the high percentage Of public health
nurses who have enlisted for overseas
service and the state association al
ready has long list of requests for
nurses, from communities IN all parts
of the state.
Among the counties which are cam
paigning for a county nurse are Sank,
Vernon, Kewaunee, Wood, Richland,
Dane, Jefferson, Grant, Barron, Mar
uuette, Outagamie and Monroe.
