WILL CASH AND CARRY
Speech of Food Administrator Bulla-
more Inspires Action--C Chapter Elects
Delegates The Program Is
Highly Interesting.

Resolved that we, as a chapter and
as individual citizens of the United
States of America, will support the
present administration at Washington
and comply with every request that it
may make directly or through subor-
dinate bodies so long as our coun-
try is at war and in dire need of ma
tional unity to insure an early peace
with victory"
With the proposal and passage of
this ringing resolution the KenOsha
Daughters of the American Revolution
displayed the real Esprit of '76" in
an inspiring meeting held at Guild Hall
on Monday afternoon. The action of
the association followed a stirring ad-
dress by Food-Administrator Bullamore
and was intended as a thorough in
dorsement Of the "Cash and Garry
Plan" or any other projects the ma
tional administration may introduce to
promote conservation or reduce the
price Of food-stuffs. The motion was
carried without dissenting voice and
subsequently placed on record as an
evidence of the true-blue, simon-pure
Americanism of the local descendants
of the ''Sons of Liberty"
In other ways the session Of Mon
day afternoon was noteworthy. Pre-
ceding the formal program for the
gathering delegates and alternates were
elected for the Continental Congress
to be held ait Washington in the near
future and to transact important bust
ness relative to the participation of
the ID. A. r. in the "Great Adven-
ture" now claiming the money, the
time, and the best blood of the great
est nations in the world.
The successful candidates in the
balloting, who will consequently repre-
sent Kenosha in this important con-
clave, were: Regent, Mrs. A. e. Buck
master; Regent IS alternate, Mrs. o. l..
Trenary; Delegate, Mrs. William Pur-
nell; Alternates, Mrs. III. G. Beecher,
Mrs. Harry Baldwin, Miss Mildred Ny
rick, Mrs Harry Skinkle, Mrs. ]. T..
Todd Mrs. G. H. Adams, Miss Matte
French, Mrs. E. Il. Shippee, Mrs. Rob
ert Whitaker, and Mrs. J. b. MaIoney.
The personnel of the roster insures
kenosha an adequate representation in
convention that will be nation wide
in its interest and it's influence.
The program for the meeting was
especially attractive by reason of the
fact that it presented so many paral-
lels between the days Of '76 and their
logical successors of 1T and '18. The
offerings of the afternoon showed that
then, as now, men of all nations and
all creeds were engaged in Titanic
struggle for the triumph of democracy
or despotism and were offering their
lives with heroic prodigality on the
affairs of monarchy or freedom. They
proved, too, that conservation was
not new idea inasmuch as the wo-
men of Revolutionary days had been
forced to forego their tea and sugar
rather than yield to the tyranny of a
republican people powerless beneath the
will of a near-despotic king.
The general topic for the afternoon s
discussion was Picturesque Foreign
Characters For and Against Us in the
American Revolution. - 1t included
The following papers all of which were
'houghtfully written and forcefully
tesented: Count Pulaszi,'' Mrs. J.
g. Maloney; FKosciusko,'' Mrs. R. Y.
Cooper; "Baron DeKalb and the Hes
hans," Mrs. G. H. Ripley. The hostess,
W were Mrs. lei. X. Gebhart, and her
daughter, Mrs. e. T. Dunn.
Following the program the meeting
closed with social hour character
Ted by the sociabihty and patriotism
typical of all functions given by Ken
osha Daughters Of the American Re
volution.
