A French officer said of our boys,
They are always ready to press on. -
When we know what they are doing,
do we not feel that all of the Anglo
Saxon strength that we have been cul-
tivating really should come out and
that we should talk heart to heart with
every man, woman, and child of this
land about this tremendous and splen-
did living
Chairman Brown in outlining the
campaign for the county gave little
history of what Kenosha had done in
the past. He called the roll of the pa
triotic response that this county has
made to every call upon it showing how
the county had not only furnished ev-
| cry man and every dollar it had been
called to furnish but how it had in
many cases given more than double the
amount. He paid tribute to the splen-
did organizations among the factory
managers, the factory workers and the
ranks Of the women of the city, the
schools, organized labor, the fraternal
organizations, the boy and girl scouts.
We are all fighters declared chair
man Brown. "Some of us are fighting
over on the front line but it is just as
important that the rest of us must
flight on the line here at home. Every
one of us must have the same pa
triotism and the same love Of country
as the men who are barring their
breasts to the bayonet. Americans are
beginning to appreciate that Napol-
con was right when he said, the
three things necessary tocarry on war
are money" "more money! and
still more money
| In concluding his address Mr.. Brown
declared that he was coAvincted that
the splendid cooperation Of Kenosha
county people would make it possible
for this county to meet and meet fully
the great demands made upon it.
Every township in the county and
every ward in the city was represented
at the meeting and every member Of
the general committee carried away
with him patriotic message and ap-
plications for bonds.
The great opening of the campaign
will take place on Saturday evening
and it will be featured with great pa
triotic festival. A great mass meet
ing is to be held in the Armory and

SCOUTMASTERS PLAN
FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

Plans for the participation Of the
Boy Scouts of Kenosha in the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign were made at
the preliminary meeting of the Liberty
Loan committee and the scoutmasters at
meeting at Hotel haywood Tuesday.
The plans mapped out are similar to
those adopted in the former Liberty
Loan campaigns. The Boy Scouts will
be cleaners after the reapers in the
coming campaign and will assist as mes
sengers and in doing errand duty.
No soliciting for subscriptions by
Boy Scouts will be allowed until afetr
the main campaign has been made.
The town will be laid off into districts
and the various scoutmasters will be
the chairman of these districts. The
Boy Scouts will not be allowed to
solicit in the factories.
The Boy Scouts will be assigned to
districts by the scoutmasters and they
will be assigned, not by troops, but as
individual scouts in the district in
which they live. No scout viii be al
lowed to know to which district he will
be assigned until the night before his
part of the campaign begins so that
he viii not know who to solicit in adj
vance or viii not know who to approach
to ask him to wait until he gets started.
The district chairman win report the
work of the scouts to the headquarters
and not directly to the banks, and the
scout executive viii go over these re-
ports and check them up. If it be
found that scout has taken sub
scription from person living in an
other scouts district the subscription
will be credited to the boy in whose
district the subscriber lives.

ILLINOIS

The last lap in the Sheridan Road
lis q subject in the minds of all auto
mobile owners in the Middle West.
Today the Kenosha Evening News re-
ceived a "cut ~ showing the present
status of this famous road.
S'Plans are being made by the Good
Roads Association of Wisconsin for the
biggest good roads celebration ever
held in the Middle West on the occa-
sion Of the completion Of the Sheridan
Road to the Illinois line.
With the exception Of a one mile
stretch at the south end of Racine
county, adjoining the Kenosha county
line, all of the concrete construction
work on this road will be finished in
October. There is a possibility, al
though frankly it is remote, that this
one mile may be finished ALSO The
delay in getting work on this piece is
due to the fact that the road at this
point is to be relocated to remove
two grade crossings on the G. & n.
w. railroad and the negotiations have
not been completed.
The Sheridan Road beyond it's value
as an economic highway, is road of
military Importance. It passes the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station,
probably the greatest station of that
character in the world, and Fort
Sheridan. In addition to that, humid
reds of army trucks are going over
this road every month on their way
to the sea, board from points in Wis
consin. Finally, it is a great artery of
traffic for manufacturing plants in
Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha engaged
in essential war industries.
For this reason and for the further
reason that the people are today think
ing in terms of the war the celebration
which it expected to hold in October,
will partake of a military aspect. A
committee has already begun work on
these features and on the day Of the
formal opening it is expected to have
bodies of troops carried over the road,
trains of motor trucks, artillery, etc.
The theory of the celebration is to
Ishow by actual demonstration the
value of the road rather than an oc-
casion for speech making and iollifca-
ton solely. Arrangements are being
made to have a man of national
prominence deliver the address on the
occasion of the opening.
The cut shown herewith visualizes
the exact status of the work on the
road at this time.
