Members Of Danish Lutheran Choir
Assist in Dedication of
Service Flag.

The members of the Danish Lutheran
Choir of Kenosha were the guests Of
the Danish Lutheran congregation of
Hartland, Wisconsin, Sunday at the
dedication Of it's service flag to the
boys now in service. Several selections
were sung by the Kenosha choir at
the morning church service, and after
very appetizing dinner served in
the church parlors, an automobile tour
to the many lakes around Hartland fol-
lowed. In the afternoon a very pleas
ing musical program was given by the
choir, together with aa eloquent de-
dicating address by w. A. Griswold,
attorney, of Milwaukee. The results
of the afternoon concert were so graft
flying that members of the County
Council of Defense in Hartland re-
quested the Kenosha choir to sing at
a patriotic meeting of some 400 9peo-
pie in the town hall Sunday night.
The choir has reason to feel proud
of it's work inasmuch as most of it's
members are new and unframed
voices.

REFUSE TO WORK
WITH A STACKER
Man Who Urged Fellow Workmen Not
to Buy War Savings Stamps Finds
Himself out of a Job.

Men in Kenosha factories are loyal
and patriotic and they refuse to work
with Stacker. One properly classed in
this section found this out at Nash
plant on Friday afternoon. He not
only declined to buy War Savings
Stamps but he referred to the men who
bought them as "fools. This parti-
cular man is declared to have been
earning very large wages and he could
well have afforded to join pretty close
to the limit club. The men gave him
one last chance and then told him that
he would either buy War Savings
Stamps or get out.
They promptly carried their grievance
to the foreman and when the man per-
sisted in his refusal to contribute to
the support Of the government he was
given his time Of course the facts
in the case and the statements the
man made have been reported to the
Federal officials and he will have q
chance to do his explaining later.

First for My Country and Next
for My Native State

State Senator Charles H. Everett of
Racine, today announced himself as a
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. He

he says:
For several months, letters and pc
titions have been coming to me from
all sections of Wisconsin urging me to
become candidate for the Republican
nomination for Lieutenant Governor,
and after careful and earnest consid-
GRAFTON, [ have decided to accept the
call and submit my candidacy to the
voters of the state.
In regard to the issues confronting
the people that must be solved now and
after the war, / shall have more to say
in detailed statement later on
My work in the last three sessions
of the Legislature is Of public record.
I have stood at all times for such legis-
lation as would benefit the people of
the state and have strenuously opposed
legislation intended to benefit the few
at the expense of the many.
The people are the government, and
men selected to represent them in pub
lie affairs have no other honorable course
as servants of the people, but to serve
them faithfully without fear or favor.
IF nominated and elected, / shall,
as in the past, hold strictly to the
policy of serving all the people of my
state to the best of my ability. AS q
public servant, shall endeavor to full
fill a public duty.
"The one great outstanding clear
issue before the people of this country
at this time, is the winning of the war.
One hundred per cent loyalty, is of SUI
preme necessity if we would preserve
this great free republic and its splendid
institutions to the people.
fTogether with the thousands of citi-
zens of Wisconsin, stand first for
my Country, and next for mye native
state, and the present and future well
fare and happiness Of its people. =

INJURED ON MARINE FRONT
Kenoshan Enlisted on November 21st of
Last Year and Was Formerly Well
Known Employee of the Sim
mons Company Here.


Corporal Herman f. Levin, $50 Mar
ket street, Kenosha, has paid the tlll
mead of his devotion to his nation, as
the casualty list of General Persh;ng
received by the War Department from
France this morning announces that
this Kenosha soldier died of wounds
in one Of the base hospitals just back
OF the lines In France following wounds
received in action against the Ger
mans. The announcement of the death
of Corporal Levin was received in ke-
nosha early today and the announce
ment of it in the spring r, Of the
Simmons plant where he had IL. one
of the most popular of the employ ees
OF the company, brought intense sor-
row. No details of the woGnding Of
| Corporal Levin has been received in
Kenosha, but his name is listed in the
long list of casualties which came
from the ranks of the. men who had
been fighting with the American
forces along the Marine.
Corporal Levin was twenty three
years of age and he had lived in Ke-
nosaa for number of years. He was
a native of Denmark and SO far as is
known all of his relatives are still liv-
ing in that country. He formerly made
i his home at the residence of Henry
Vandenberg, $50 Market street.
He left the Vandenberg home on
November 21st of last year after he
had enlisted as volunteer and after
he had been ordered to report to JEFF
ferson Barracks in st. Louis. The last
letters received from him were filled
with enthusiastic phrases of his love
of the army service. These letters
came from somewhere in France /"
and at that time he was ready
Ito go into action.
Levin had been anxious to get into
the army and had offered himself as a
volunteer early in the days after the
United States entered the war, but it
was not until November of last year
that he was accepted for service.
The name of Corporal Levin is the
first Kenosha name to be listed among
the dead Of the American forces in the
hospitals of France. He was in service
"over there some time before any
of the other units from Kenosha reach
ed the front line trenches.
His star in the great service flag of
Simmons Company was turned from
blue to gold today and it is the first
gold star to appear on that great flag.
Efforts will be made at once to To-
cate the relatives of the young
soldier and the sad news of his death
serving his .country--will be convey
ed to them.
The remains of Levin will be buried
in one of the American soldier burial
plots just behind the lines on French
soil and when peace comes again the
remains. will be either brought back
to this country or sent to the old
home in Denmark to find a permanent
resting place.

CHIEFS GASOLINE SCENT
RECEIVERS STOLEN CAR
Automobile Stolen from Garage Of
Henry Roper is Found in Garage
at JanesYille.

The new REQ automobile stolen from
the garage of Henry Roper on Charles
street last Thursday night, is back in
the possession of its owner, little the
worse for wear, but still running. The
gasoline scent of Chief of Police
O'Hare is responsible for the return of
the car and it has been in Kenosha
since Sunday morning while the chief
has been hanging around the counters
of Kenosha banks waiting for the man
who sold it to a garage owner in James
vile to come in to cash check which
he received as the purchase price.
The chief added this to his long list
of recovered automobiles early Sunday
morning. He had been "touring" out
about New Munster when he heard that
young man driving a REQ ear, had
asked to be directed to the road to
GAINESVILLE. The chief promptly hit the
trail to GAINESVILLE and began a search
of the garages there. He was success
full in locating the car. The garage
man said that he had given the young
man who had the ear check for 1925
but that later on he had stopped pay
ment on the check.
The chief took the car and returned
to Kenosha. The check has not been
presented for payment as yet. 1t was
declared by the GAINESVILLE man that the
seller of the car claimed to be Keno
sha man and that he gave the names
of several people in KenOsha as refer
enees. The people whose names were
given declared that they never heard
of him. The lettering on the doors of
the car had been defaeed and covered
with paper, but otherwise the autOmo-
bile was in excellent condition.

Many Of the youngsters now
coming in to enlist for the navy are
far under the draft age and lot Of
