The registration ON last Saturday in
dicates that old Father Stork was
pretty busy in Kenosha city and
county during the summer of 1897. It
is just possible that he anticipated
the war and wanted Kenosha county
to be prepared for it.

The small boy who forged check

not a criminal but just homesick. The

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE NOTES.
WoMAN's COMMITTEE.
CONTINUED from page 81

sr~~~~~~~e~-~o~~~~-c-~~~ S-~1o~c~-~~1~~N~-~
The lectures for mothers given by
the Child Welfare department Of the
Woman s Committee have been well
attended up to date. One change In
the schedule as printed has been neces-
sary. The lecture which was planned
for Thursday, August 20. to be given
In Lithuanian, is indefinitely postpon-
ed as the translator hes not arrived
from Washington. The date will be
announced as soon as the translator is
received by the committee.
Foreign born mothers and fathers
who are brought together during pa
triotic play week will become interested
in how their children compare ply
sically, with the children of their
neighbors. Thus, it is hoped, a feeling of
common responsibility for all Children S
Welfare will be fostered and more COM
munity measures for the protection of
children result.
The following resolution, accepted by
the Woman 3 Committee of the Coun-
lcil of National Defense and approved
by the Council, will interest all men,
bers Of the Kenosha Woman s Com
mittee. The question of uniform
expression of allegiance to the flag
and the national anthem has already
been discussed in Kenosha. 1t is pro-
babe that the action Of the National
Committee will be endorsed by the Ke-
nosha Woman s Committee at it's next
regular meeting.
The resolution IS as follows Where
as it is fitting that civilians as we'll as
soldiers and sailors should adopt some
uniform and appropriate manner of
expressing their allegiance to their flag
when it is Displayed and their respect
for the national anthem when it is
played in their presence: Therefore be
it
Resolved, That the Woman's Com
mittee Of the Council of National De-
Tense recommends that as an express
sion of loyalty and respect to the colors
and the national anthem the women
of the United States shall stand at at
tention when the flag is passing or the
national anthem is rendered.
The expression at attention = means
standing erect, head up, eyes front, and
arms straight at sides.

Judge Raj Speaks.
Judge Joseph r. vls., 1son presided
at the meeting and before the address
|of Senator Lockney, Judge Randall
made short talk to the people. The
Judge was suffering severely from a
double fracture of his. right arm but
he declared that he could not lose this
chance TO speak to the people of Ke-
'nosha. He spoke strongly in favor of
the great issue, defeating the I'M
|perial German Government and
pledged his support to every measure
for a speedy, winning of the war. He
paid high tribute to American forces
fighting abroad and declared that the
only real business of the nation at this
time was to back up the sacrifice of
these boys and make it worth while.
He bitterly denounced the profteer as
the worst enemy to his country and in
sisted that laws be made which would
prevent any man gaining riches as a
result of the sacrifices Of the nation
to make the world a decent place to
live in.

Report Shows Patriotic Support
of All War Driues in County

Fund campaign were by Mr.. John NJ
Lontz To these men and the various
committees and township chairmen,
the county owes a debt of gratitude
for the results achieved
If to the above amount of $4,000
were added the subscriptions made
for other causes related to the war,
such as the X. of c., the Salvation
Army, the Wayne County Red Cross,
Assyrian and Armenian relief, Bel
gians, French orphans, American Lii
brary Association, War Camp Commu-
nifty Service, Jewish Welfare Board,
Smilage books, and dozens of others.
the amount approximate nearly half
a million dollars. The things which
cannot be counted in dollars and cents,
such as the labor given by the good
women of the Red Cross in the max
ing Of thousands of garments and the
donation of clothing by the ton to the
Belgians will add to the glorious rec
ord of the citizens of Wayne county
in giving expression to their patriot
ism and interest in the greatest war
in the history of the world to deter
mine whether might or right shall rule
the world
Wayne county can be proud of her
record in her contribution of $500 sol
diers and the support given them in
the generous contribution of money.

f. M. Haas, secretary OF the Wayne
County War Fund committee, has sub
mitted the following report:
All pledge cards for the United War
Fund are at the Dickinson Trust com
pany where subscribers should call
and make payment. One-half of the
amount subscribed is now due and
should be paid. Hundreds have al
ready called and made first payment,
but there are still very large num-
Der who have not yet responded. The
second payment of one-fourth~ is due
January Is and the last payment will
be due March /.
Owing to the very large list Of about
10000 subscribers it has been found
impossible to publish the names of
subscribers. 1t would take about 8
pages Of a newspaper to print all the
names. The cost of publication and
the season of the year when the news
papers are using their space for holt
day advertising makes the publication
impractical at this time. The lists are.
however, prepared and are open for
inspection to anyone desiring to see
mercial Club rooms. and at the Dick
inson Trust company.
In closing what is probably the last
campaign that will be made by the
Wayne county war fund committee, |
desire to state that this organization
served the county in a patriotic ca
pacity that called for great sacrifice
of time and earnest effort No one,
unless closely connected with a cam
paign knows the amount of tremen-
dous hard work there is involved
There were four campaigns made by
this organization and it raised total
of $4,000. While it is greatly to be
regretted that the full quota was not
subscribed in the United War Fund
campaign, yet there are some extern
uating circumstances accounting for
It. 1t came just when the armistice
was signed and many people consid-
cred the war over and the need for
the money ended, however, Wayne
county can glory in the fact that the
total quotas for the four campaigns
made two for the Red Cross, one for
the Y. NJ. c. A. and the United War
Fund were over subscribed $25,500
The total of the four quotas amounted
to $184500, while the total amount
subscribed amounted to $4,000. OF
this total amount the City of Rich
mond subscribed $126,215 and the
townships out side of the city, $685.

revenue collection districts may be
re-arranged during the next year to
make boundaries coincide with state
lines, Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper announced today.
Experience gained and careful
analysis of existing conditions" said
Mr.. Roper warrants the belief that
superior efficiency will result from an
alignment of the collection districts
to coincide geographically with
state lines, assigning one district to
every state and two to several of the
more populous and larger revenue pro-
ducing states
In addition that plan now being de-
veloped contemplates subdivision of
collection districts, arranged accord
ing to units of population, with a
deputy collector in charge, stationed
at the most central city.
The cost of collecting taxes last
year was $12,0O3.0Q0, or one-third OF
one percent of all collections, as com.
pared with s7,699,000 or nearly one
percent of collections. the year previ-

NICK LARNEY

Next morning instead of going to
his shop at the machine works Ned
Flowerton went to the big city in quest
of a promoter whose gilt promises
he had noticed on an Office door.
Nicholas Larney, Promoter. Quick
and Splendid Returns Guaranteed on
Inventions, Real Estate and Mining. !"
The bold golden letters had been with
Ned since he had caught sight OF
them on his unsuccessful campaign to
sell his heater.
A shrewd-faced man of indeter1nin-
ate age in loud but conspicuously
''dressy" regalia announced himself
as Mr.. Larney and asked suavely what
he could do for Ned.
"You can come up to Arcadia and
look at a water heater I've invented.
Then if you see in it what see
want you to promote it-put it on
the market-sell shares. in it-make
money on it before I'm too old to en-
joy it,
A thin, inscrutable smile flashed
across the smoothly shaver counter
ance OF Mr.. Larney.
Lead me to it, Mr.. Flowerton-and
leave the money end of it to mel"
An hour later Ned was showing
his heater to Larney with Edith, Fay
Summers and John Ferrol as addi-
tional audience. Ferrol noticed that
while Larney seemed to have his full
share of intelligence, the really telling
points of the heater escaped him. His
mind seemed to be more engrossed
with calculations which were not de-
pendent on the real worth OF the in
vention.
He reached his final decision sud
denly and delivered it with gusto.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said
theoretically, turning to them. 81
congratulate you all, and myself We
are in on the start of bonanza. Mr..
Flowerton, accept your offer of fifty
fifty to promote your heater. Con-
slider that the Superperfect Heater

do Not Tempt Returning
Soldiers with Drink"
Urges Secretary Bake,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. T.
Secretary Baker appealed today to
friends of soldiers returning from the
front for assistance in discouraging
the giving of intoxicating liquors to
the men as part OF home coming cele-
brations.
'In the celebrations that welcome
our troops from abroad many men in
uniform have been given intoxicating
drinks" Secretary Baker said. This
is contrary to law. 1t is breach of
military discipline. 1t is an injury to
the returning troops.
"A drunken soldier is disgrace to
his uniform. an insult to the flag, a
shame to himself and a danger to the
community. No loyal citizen who has
the interest OF the men at heart will
offer them the temptation Of inebrie-
ty. l appeal to the friends Of our
boys from the front to discourage this
abuse Of hospitality.
Our army in service has had rec
ord for cleanness and sobriety Of
which the country has the right to be
proud. appeal to that pride to help
the men live up to their record"
