KEEP UP DRIVE
FOR WAR SAVINGS
Pershing Day to be Second Great Fes-
tivsl for People Who are Aiding
the Nation at War.

"Pay Up! Sign Up! Match Upi'
is the latest slogan Of the War Savings
workers throughout the state of Wis
consin. It is included in government
notice sent out, announcing August
as -Pershing Day, the first of series
of fhonor" days to be noted before
the close Of the War Savings and Thrift
period ON December 81.
The g honor days have been selected
so that War Savings. pledges may be
promptly paid as they fall due, so that
increased amounts may be pledged and
SO that new opportunity viii be given
to every one to make a pledge.
On Pershing day, it is urged that
every one go to their bank, post Office
or other place Of payment and pay all
sums then due, including August pay
ment, md, if possible, increase their
pledges 70 the best limit. It is also
urged under the "sign up slogan,
that all those who have not already
pledged, do so on that day.
"Match upv says John H. Pueicher,
director Of War Savings for Wisconsin,
with our boys over there to whom
Gen. Pershing has said: Your country
is proud of you. I am proud to COM
mand such body of men. You have
fought splendidly.'
Our boys over there are making
good all their pledges We must see to
it, here at home, that we do likewise. :
War Savings societies are asked to
present the matter of Honor days,
in full, to their members, so that all
may be ready to pay their pledges on
Pershfng day-the first Tuesday in
August. Each first Tuesday Of the
month, thereafter, will be an honor
day, and it is expected that all will take
advantage Of the opportunity to pay
their pledges on that day.

from him since the breaking out Of
the war and he had not been advised
that his brother in Kenosha was fight
ing with the Americans.
Frank Hormac, former employee Of
the tannery here, had been one of the
first men in Kenosha to go into the
United States regular army after the
breaking out Of the war. His company
was one of the first to be sent to the
European battle fields and it was bri.
gaded with one of the French units
and with this unit sent out to aid the
gallant Italians when the Austrians
made the first great drive into Italy.
According to the letter received from
the Kenosha soldier, the fighting had
been bitter along a long line. Aus.
trian~~and allied troops had been re-
peatedly caught in the charges over
"No Mans Land' and finally the lit
tie American unit was called to take
its place in the front line of the battle.
with the order to sscharge' Hormac was
one of the first men to go over. His
bayonet was lifted to strike when the
CLEAN of recognition passed over the
face Of the weathered Austrian soldier
in front of him and Frank Hormac
heard the call "Stop Brother. Tt
was call of surrender, but call Of
kinship and the Kenosha man at once
recognized it.
Hormac promptly took his brother
and he was taken to the rear where the
allied ranks had pitched their camp.
He expressed willingness to leave the
Austrian army and gave the American
unit valuable information as to the To-
cation of the Austrian divisions. Later
the Americans and French, working on
the information which had been given
by the Austrian brother of the Keno
sha soldier, made their way behind the
Austrian s lines under his guidance
and they captured one large gun, fifty
machine guns and more than two
hundred hand grenades.
Frank and John Hormac are now
united somewhere back of the Italian
lines along the Piave. The brother
who wore an Austrian uniform until
he met his brother from America in the
charge, is now non-combatant while
Frank Hormac is still fighting with his
American comrades. Sometime when
the Huns have been driven back the
two brothers are coming back to
America.

"sTOP BROTHER" HALTs FOE
Former Austrian Serving in American
Army Finds Ties Of Blood are
Stronger Than Call to War
Soldier Gives Information.

Truth stranger than fiction; the ties
of blood bringing stronger call than
the call Of war, are featured in the
strange story Of Frank Hormac, former
Kenosha man, serving with the United
States army as told in letter from
Hormac to John Ferkan of Kenosha,
employed at the N. R. Allen Is Sons
tannery. 1t is the story of brother
meeting brother on the field Of battle
lin the whirlwind of the charge-and
the story of the appeal of the Stars and
Stripes to freedom loving people which
united brothers in common cause to
battle for world wide democracy.
Frank Hormac and his brother John
HorInac, long separated from each
other, met for the first time on the
Piave in Italy. The brother who had
been fighting with the Austrian army,
is now a I" friendly enemy in the keep
ing of the allied forces somewhere along
the long battle line in Italy.
His coming to the allied lines makes
one Of the most dramatic stories of
the world war;
''Stop brother man shouted as
Frank Hormac went over the top in the
charge of the Italians and the allies
in one Of the first offensives Of the
Austrians in italy. Frank Hormac,
wearing the uniform of United States
regular, drew back minute, lowered
the menacing guns and abyonet and
a second later the charge went on
while the two brothers were in each
others arms.
The brother who had been left in
Austria years ago, had been called for
service in the Austrian army. His
relatives in Kenosha had heard little

er to be denied the right of serving

.nounced that he had been advised that
a recruiting station for the United
States army will be opened here on

cry police officer in the city is acting

PUBLIC MARKET DAYS
ARE ESTABLISHED
Wednesday Morning it win be Held on
Exchange Street and Every We'd
nesday and Saturday Hereafter.

Wednesday Morning it viii be Held on
Exchange Street and Every We'd
nesday and Saturday Hereafter
These are the permanent places and
dates at which public markets will be
held in Kenosha from this time on:
Tuesday and Friday on the Continual
ton school grounds at the corner of
Pleasant and Dayton streets; Wednes-
day and Saturday on Exchange street
where the market was held last year.
The County Council Of Defense and
the Chamber Of Commerce have been
giving no little attention toward es-
tablishing the markets so that every
body, sellers as we'll as buyers, can be
satisfied and for while it was thought
and even announced that a market
would be held on Monday. But after
some discussion with the farmers and
the housekeepers it wassdecided to elm
mate Mondays from the program.
Monday is the traditional wash day of
the American housewife, and therefore,
she cannot get away from the house
that day long enough to go to the mar
ket. On the other hand, the farmer
has to gather his stuff the day before in
order to get to town on time, and by
having a Monday market he would be
compelled to work on Sunday.
After considering these two phases of
the matter it was decided to not hold a
market on Monday but to hold it on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.
Wednesday morning the market will
be on Exchange street. Now that the
dates and places have been decided up
on placards will be placed at each of
the market places giving the times
and places where they will be held in
the future.
