KENosHANs AT. RACINE.
Delegation from Local Christian En-
deavor Enjoys an Inspiring Ser
vice in the Neighboring City.

The Christian Endeavor of the Con-
gregational Church of this city went
to Racine to attend G. E. rally Of
the Southeastern District of the State.
The rally was held at Gorton Hall and
one feature of the program was a
lecture by the Minister of the German
Evangelical Church of Racine on .EThe
Way to VIM
He says, the way to win is to
have an aim, and object, a goal. Too
many people get into rut and unless
there is a sharp turn, strong II,
ana Big Bump the fellow is doomed
to stay there without hope of advance
ment.
"There are few young people who
,eally have an aim in life. They are a
good deal like the gun they used to
have in the times of the Pilgrims. It
was called a "blunder bus" You
could aim at nothing and usually hit it.
That is what happens to young people
who have no definite goal. They aim
at nothing and nine times out of ten
they hit it squarely on the head.
elf you would win don't talk too
much. 1t is dangerous. Don't become
discouraged easily. 1t has never been

service.

BIG SNOW NOW
Mo- just a FURRY
Captain B. G. Cameron Tells About
Real Snow That Struck Kenosha
in the Winter of 81.

Some people in Kenosha may have
been of the opinion that the recent
snow storms had established a record
for Kenosha. Nothing doing. The
record is far from reached and this fact
is indicated by the evidence of Captain
B. G. Cameron, retired captain of the
Kenosha Life Savers. He has for a
half century been the guardian of the
weather in Kenosha and when he saws
that this is mere furry in COM
parison with snow back In "S1D he
insists that he knows what he is talk
ing about.
SO many people are asking me if
there was so much snow in Kenosha
BEFORE" Captain Cameron said this
morning. - tell them this is nothing,
to the snow storm we had in 1881.
In the winter of "S1' the snow was
four feet deep on the level and in
places it was banked twelve and fiji
teen feet deep. One snow bank on Main
street in front of the First National
bank was up to the windows of the
second story and "Stew' Hastings
dug tunnel through it with team
and a scraper. The accommodation
train leaving here at q. m. did not get
started until noon, and it took three
engines to take her out. Farmers COM
ing into the town did not make any eff
fort to keep to the road, but drove
right over the snow piled over the
fences. Lake Michigan was frozen
over clear to the other shore and skat-
ers went out on the ice for eight and
ten miles and brought back all the
ducks that they could carry as there
was no water for the ducks to feed
in. That was real snow and some
real cold. =

NEW LAURELs FOR 'LAvIoLETTE.
Kenosha Composer is Made Musical

Most Prominent Churches.

'FGood fortunes like E'misf fortunes -

At least that is the way they
have come to w. Wesley Laviolette,
one of Kenosha's youngest but best
known musicians,
Three weeks ago Mr.. Laviolette s

come day when peace on earth, good
will to men will become a reality.
Mrs. Mary D. Bradford, in present
ing the diplomas to the class, gave an
interesting account of the history of
the class, so as to show that they are
illustrative that the schools of Keno
sha are melting pot for the great
number of emigrants who come to
America. This was followed by an
appeal to the people Of Kenosha to
continue their support of the public
high school as the best roadway to
success for their children Mrs. Brad
ford called attention to the fact that
two stars In the service flag represent
ed George Head and Arthur Mikelsen,
two former members of the class, now
preparing for service of their country.

for its two musical numbers, as a part

DANCE rs DAZZLING.
Color and Revelry Make the Masquer-
AIDE Ball of the Kenosha Yacht Club
Brilliant Affair.

Zone fairy came in violet, another in
digo; in blue, green, yellow, orange,
red, they made pretty row."
The old song of childhood furnishes
an accurate description of the Mas
querade Ball given by the Kenosha
Yacht Club at Germania Hall on Fri
day evening. Color and revelry reign
ed supreme and made the dance a fu-
turistic "splash" suggesting the ever
changing patterns Of sunsets or kalei-
doscopes.
The music for the merriment was
noteworthy. 1t included real or
chestra, "Hobo Harry's jazz Band'
and the Hula fantasies they were
that, too of the famous "Hawaiian
Six"
Conspicuous among the masked revel-
1ers We're 1.-THE Rainbow Division, a
goddess of Liberty with torch Ffand
everything, Pierettes in pajamas and
pom-pons, girls in trousers, and boys
in skirts, Chinese maidens with let
black queqes, and little queens of
hearts, all checked out' in spades,
clubs, and diamonds.
The dance was formally opened at
HOO O'Clock, when the official bugler
sounded reveille for the Grand March.
1t continued with a dizzy round of
pleasure until the later hours of the
early morning sounded taps and sent
the jewellers to their several homes,
somewhere in Kenosha.

THE SPIRES OF OXFORD


I saw the spires of Oxford
AS was passing by,
The gray spires of Oxford
Against a pearl-gray sky;
My heart was with the Oxford men
Who went abroad to die.
The years go fast in Oxford,
The golden years and gray;
The hoary colleges look down
On careless boys at play,
But when the bugles sounded "War!' =
They put their games away.
They left the peaceful river,
The cricket field, the quad,
The shaven lawns of Oxford,
To seek bloody sod;
They gave their merry youth away
For country and for God.
God rest you, happy gentlemen,
Who laid your good lives down,
Who took the khaki and the gun
Instead of cap and gown;
God bring you to a fairer place
Than even Oxford town.

WREATLESS DAYS and MEALS

To dispel any confusion which may
have arisen in Kenosha and Kenosha
County among consumers and dealers
in wheat and wheat products and in
other articles which come under he
direction and control of the Food Ad-
ministration, County Food Administra-
tor, Henry L. Bullamore is publishing
to-day the new regulations regarding
them. These rules are of interest to
every housewife and every consumer
of wheat flour in Kenosha and Keno
sha County. They are also of invaIu-
able interest to the bakers, restaurant
men and all dealers in wheat products,
who recently pledged their support to
the county state and national food adj
ministration.
These regulations came direct from
Herbert Hoover, National Food Admin
istrator in a special telegram to Mr..
Bullamore on Friday. They are to go
into effect Immediately, the original
order reading that they were effective
on and after Monday, January 28th.
The regulations in regard to the new
wheatless day, Monday, and the sug-
gestion as to the use of wheatless
meals on every day by all patriotic
Americans will be of interest to every
one. The other rules are published to
inform dealers of what may be ex-
pected of them in regard to the food
rules. The rules follow:

SIS Days and Whea
Meals.

To assist further in conservation,
Monday and Wednesday of each week
are to be observed as wheatelss days,
and one meal of each day as a wheat
less meal. This applies both in the
home and in the public eating place,
and on such days and meals no crack
ers, pastries, macaroni, breakfast foods,
or cereals containing wheat should be
used. The only exception to this is
such small accounts of flour as may be
needed for thickening soups or gravies
or as binder in corn bread or other
cereal breads.

wholesaler satisfies himself that the
substitutes have been already purchas-

been made that in making any COM

ers shall set price for each of the ar
ticles so sold which shall not represent
more than normal pre-war profit on
any one of the articles sold.
