Mrs. Mary D. Bradford of
the City School Urges

for War Work.
NAY WEAR ARMY UNIFORM
Special Courses Offered VIII Point the
the Way to Commissions in Army

81 hope the following win be read
by ever graduate of the Kenosha High
School who has passed his 18th birth
day and is not yet in Army service.
In order to give greater efficiency to
the young men of high school educa-
tion who are capable of developing
abilities required for commissioned
positions there viii be organized this
fall at the University of Wisconsin,
the Student Army Training Corps. By
this, boy equipped to enter college
may go to the University Of Wisconsin
or school Of equal rank, under army
pay and in army uniform, and pursue
those academic and scientific studies
which will make him an ADLER and
more intelligent defender of our liber-
ties.
An editorial in the Wisconsin State
Journal, says,
"This is the greatest endorsement
college education has ever received.
What it will mean to the future well
fare and enlightenment Of the state
cannot now be measured. Many poor
boy who would otherwise never have
had chance to see the inside Of a
great University will now be sent at
government expense to our great Uni
versity of Wisconsin, ambition will be
whetted and comprehension of what
American democracy is and what
American citizenship means, will come
to thousands upon thousands Of our
brightest American boys. And through
them this realization of all for which
America stands and is fighting for will
reach the masses and contribute in
fnitely to the building Of great,
strong, rational, national spirit, keen
sense of loyalty, love for our country,
and deep appreciation of the liberties
that are ours.
The student army is a great step
forward not only in army building but
in education. Every boy who is fitted
to enter this great student army corps
should write at once to the University
of Wisconsin, for Bulletin No. 954 of
General Series, No. 739, and find out
about this opportunity and what it
holds for him.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN FULL PROGRESS
School Boards Have Adopt
ed Uniformity Systems by
Which Greater Interest
VIII be Manifested.
UNIFORM REPORT CARDS

Kenosha county schools are in full
progress. Many new teachers with
many new tasks before them, but they
are equal to all problems and the school
work will move with more zeal and
vim since the new books are being in
troduced this year. Thirty six school
boards have adopted uniformity. -
Uniform report cards will be furnished
this year. These will be sent out ev-
cry month by all the schools and great
eT interest will be taken in the child IS
welfare. Giving a report Of each
month IS work to the parent will help
to check the progress made by the
pupil and help to keep the attendance
record better. Each month an atten-
dance report as well as the non-atten.
dance record will be sent to the office.
Our schools must not fail In this work.

gained into a school society.
The children In each public
school of the state will in September

the teacher, into a school society, adopt
a constitution, elect officers and appoint
committees for the transaction of such
business as will be brought before
them. VIII the people that take the

papers as part of the library money

slider is daily newspaper in each
school house, and at least a weekly
paper would help to further education.
Many school boards are helping to
improve their schools by adding new
equipment, better salaries paid to the
teachers, neater buildings, but there
is plenty Of room for vast improve
ments for the outbuildings.
The first institute of the year will
be held at Kenosha High School, Sep

Enlisted One Year Ago,
Most of Which Time Has
Been Spent on the
West Front.
LONGS FOR BASE BALL DOPE
Wants the Kenosha Diamond Kept in
Good Shape Until His Return
When He expects to Make
Up for Lost Time.

While Billy Ball, one of Kenosha s
former crack baseball players, is over
in France lodging Boehe balls, he is
still longing for baseball news from
his old home town. In letter to the
editor of the News he describes some
of the events through which he has
passed in the year which has rolled
round since he enlisted. He says:
Just year has passed since / en-
Listed; a year full Of adventure, new
and exciting experiences and methods
and ways of living that were before
unknown to me. And at the end of
my first year In the army feel my
self over there, In a country parts OF
which have been almost entirely dew
astated by German shells and bombs
from Bocheplanes. Not until one actu-
ally secs with his own eyes, as we
have done, and is convinced of the MUIR
derOus and inhuman tactics the Huns
have used against not only the fighting
element, but against the helpless WON
EN- and children who have fallen in
their path; not until then will they
see and fully understand why Uncle
Sam not only begs for, but takes his
men from their occupations, and puts
them into training camps, whence they
will be sent to where we are, to help
defeat nation of barbarians who have
degraded whatever former honor, hon
esty, character and standing they pos
sessed in 1.-THE eyes of the world to ae-
complish--whats All this and more
have they done to obtain so-called Ger
man Kultur, control of small nations
and defeat of larger ones for what
purpose9
But surely time has changed con-
ditions and the same supreme power
that helped the inferior Allies not only
to check, but to entirely defeat the
Huns drive for victory in that great
battle Of the Marine, is again helping
the reiuvenated and reinforced Allies
in pushing the Hpn off the invaded ter
ritory and bringing about slow but sure
defeat of German autocracy.
Ell have spent practically all of my
time in France in the trenches, and
was among the first to 60 over the toE
in the present push on the Marine and
was lucky enough to get out all togeth-
er. But, believe me, lighting for a
boxing championship is decidedly tame
when compared to fighting artillery,
machine guns, Boche, gas and bombs
Ell have heard how the city has
stripped itself Of its men, how it sup
ported the Liberty Loan campaigns and
of its subscriptions for war babies, and
I am proud to tell everyone of your
great work.
CT would surely enjoy some baseball
dope from Kenosha for the present sea
son. also hope you II keep baseball
diamond in shape, as I'm surely going
to kane up for lost time when I get
back. T have had very little time for
sports thus far''

/" Dollars will receive adequate pay,

themselves ON the other side. All idle
dollars and Stacker dollars refusing TO
enlist will be routed out and drafted in
the Tax Brigade, in which there is no
honor and no pay.
Never again will you have an oppor-
tunity TO attain glory. Never again
will you have the privilege and the
satisfaction Of doing such a noble serv-
ice as that Of feeding, clothing, arm
ing, equipping and transporting our gal
liant fighting men. You are just as es-
sential to the winning of this war as
they are. When the annals Of this
great conflict are written, the sacri-
fees you have made viii be recorded.
District organizers met Saturday
with E. J. Kearney, federal reserve di-
rector Of sales for Wisconsin, and re-
ported that the organizations in the
various counties which are to direct the
coming loan campaign as being practi-
ca1ly complete. "

rounding territory should be brought IN
closer contact with the various institn-
tions of the county, whether CONNER
