AUGUST THIRTEENTH
rs PERSHING DAY
First Honor Day. for the People
Saving War Savings and Thrift
Stamps Announced.

Honor day is the most important
happening" in the present War Saw
ings and Thrift campaign-there will
be a series of them, beginning with
the second Tuesday in August.
Because of the great American drive,
the first "honor" day, which will be
August Is, will be known as "Persh-
ing" day, and will be observed
not only in Wisconsin, but in every
state in the union.
On this day, the various campaign
county chairman will, through their
organizations, see to the collection of
outstanding pledges, increase them if
possible, and gather new pledges. 1t
is expected that this will materially
increase the pledges already taken out
and in this way, also, add to the total
amount of War Savings for Wisconsin.
The fact that twenty-four counties
have already made their reports as to
the recent pledge campaign, is speed
ing up other counties to get in their
reports and it is expected that every
county in the state will eventually show
at least hundred per cent quota or
more than that.
Just now, the important thing is
Honor day. 1t is urged that all
those who already have pledges, in
crease them if possible, and that those
who, for any reason, did not sign up,
will do SO on that day.

fairness to myself and others ask the
people to release me from further serv-
ice. 7 have given twelve Of the most
pleasant years of my life to the office
of the County Clerk. I can not say
how deeply appreciative I am of all
the favors that the people Of the city
and county have shown to me and it is
on account of this appreciation that I
feel that / should retire. The county
clerk Is office demands all of the energy
of the man who holds the office and it
is just possible that I might not be
able to give that service in the future. -
County Clerk Jones is retiring from
political life with clean record from
every standpoint. He is one Of the
few men in Kenosha county who has
been before the people for more than a
decade and has been uniformly success
full. His success in office has been the
result of the splendid service which he
has rendered to the people. During the
twelve years that he has administered
the business Of the office of county
clerk the business of that office has in
creased manifold. He has kept in the
very front rank Of the county clerks
in the state and in leaving his office
he has the satisfaction of knowing
that it has been declared one of the
best maintained offices in the state.
During the time that he has been in
office Mr.. Jones has brought many
changes to methods of keeping the
county records. Not once during the
twelve years have his records been called
into question. An accountant of rare
ability he has made the Kenosha county
system Of bookkeeping a model for
the other counties of the state.
The uniform courtesy which Mr..
Jones has shown to every one has made
him one of the most popular officials
ever in office in the county. His COM
bination of courtesy and competency
has won for him the respect Of all peo-
pie of the county regardless Of politi-
cal belief.
County Clerk Jones has rendered
splendid service for the county and he
will carry with him into his new bust
ness career the best wishes of every
member of the county official family
and pretty nearly every man and wo-
man in the county.
His announcement that he would re-
tire at the end of the present year came
as surprise to many people. How
ever among his close personal friends
it has been known for some time that
he had planned to give his attention
to his new business venture at the close
of his present term.
AS yet no candidate has appeared
fer the office of County Clerk. Many
men have been mentioned for the Of
flee but without exception they had
declared that they would not be can
didate if Mr.. Jones elected to again
seek the office.

MANY MEN TO The cOLORs
Kenosha Has Made Great Strides to
Furnish Men and Financial Assist
ance for the Cause of Nation and
Her Allies in World War.

Today is the first anniversary of
Kenoshas' actual participation in the
war to make the world decent place
to live in. Just a year ago today
Troop e under the command of Cap
tain Coney and Lieutenants Steinert
and Alexander, entrained for Camp
Douglas and the people had their first
great patriotic demonstration at the
station as they said "Good Bye and
Good Luck The first unit of Keno
sha fighters has been in France for
half year doing valiant service near
Or ON the fighting line.
Since the first men left Kenosha to
put their strength into the army Of
the nation Kenosha has done her full
share to win the war.
More than two thousand Kenosha
men are now either fighting side by
side with the gallant French or are in
training camps getting ready to take
their full part in the great struggle.
Since Captain Coney and his men
and Captain Dayton and the members
OF Company M marched away to war,
more than two thousand men have fol-
lowed them and it is estimated that
Kencsha county now has more than
twenty-five hundred men in actual
service or in training. Of this large
number ten hundred and lightweight
have been called from the city under
the selective service law and more than
two hundred have been called from the
county. Hundreds of young men have
volunteered for service in the United
States navy; q half a hundred men
have been commissioned as officers in
the army and navy; scores of men
have gone to the aviation corps; al
most as many have gone into the vari-
Gus ambulance units, and almost a
dozen have joined the ranks of the
medical corps. In the marines, the
real fighting men, Kenosha has more
than sixty enlisted ready to go to
the front.
Kenosha has suffered some losses as
a result of the first year Of war and
in the twelve months eleven men have
made the supreme sacrifice in the cause
of the nation, while one man has been
severely wounded fighting at the battle
front. The list of gold stars added to
the service flag during the year include:

Selling liquor on Sunday is an Of
tense in Kenosha. Selling liquor with
out license is another count under
the state law. If man can violate
both with impunity it is time that some
one is calling halt. We would re-
spectfully call the attention of the
police to the soft drink parlors. We
believe in a square deal and if one sa-
loon closes on Sunday all of them
should be closed no matter under what
designation they are operated.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1918-07-25

every call Of the first year of war has
been met and met fully. During the
year the people of Kenosha have in
vested nearly seven million dollars in
the various issues of the Liberty Loan
Bonds. A million dollars werth of the
interim treasury certificates have been
bought in the city and more than eight
hundred thousand dollars worth of War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps
have been taken by the people of the
city and county. Kenosha county S
financial support of the war is pretty
close to the ten million dollar mark
during the first year since her boys
started to the army.
Big Gifts to War Work.
Kenosha has led the nation in the
great plans for financing the work
behind the lines and in the year peo-
pie have contributed more than three
hundred and twenty-five thousand dol
lars for the various movements to back
up the boys. More than hundred
thousand dollars has been paid out in
the past few months for the support
of these various win the war move
ments and other hundreds of thousands
are waiting the call to help.
Kenosha manufacturers have not
been slackers in the great task impos-
ed upon the nation by war. With a
loyal body of workers these great
plants have given much of their ener-
gies to keep the glow in Old Glory.
Kenosha trucks, beds and cots,
stockings and underwear, harness and
shells have been going in a steady
stream to aid in keeping the men at
the front and in camp properly sup
piled with the munitions Of war.
A record production by these great
plants has made it possible for them to
meet every call made upon them.
Red Cross Most Active.
The year has brought from Kenosha
wonderful contribution of women to
the great task of winning the war.
Women working with the Red Gross,
the French front wounded, have con-
tributed Of their time and their money
to make Kenosha a leader in taking
care of t. great demand of war.
The Kenosha 1 Gross has been
warmly praised as one Of the most
efficient working organizations in the
whole country.
It has furnished comforts to nearly
all of the soldier boys who went out
from Kenosha and it is following close
ly their life in camp and cantonment.
Kenosha has given literally of her
man power in the year in all lines and
prominent among the workers behind
the lines have been Fred Hathaway,
secretary of the Kenosha Y. M. G. A.,
who has been constantly with the
colors. David o. r. Fogwell recently
joined the forces working in France,
and Warren S. Stone is now on his way
to take up the field work of the Y. M.
G. A., while Ray Kupfer is on his way
to serve in similar capacity for the
Knights of Columbus.
In all, Kenosha people may feel very
proud of the showing of the city on
this, the first anniversary of participa-
tion in the war.
