TO Be REDEEMED IN 1923
Uncle Sam Wants to Know Which OF
II is Children are Willing 20 do Their
Bit Towards Carrying on the
Great War.

Uncle Samuel will find out who
among his many sons and daughters
he can depend upon on Friday, June
%, for Oh that day the great War Saw
ings Stamps campaign will be inau-
gurated.
Every citizen of the United States
will be expected to make his war saw
ings pledge to lend to the government
a certain amount of money with which
to pay expenses, the amount to be paid
in before December 81, Of this year.
The campaign for War Savings
Stamps will not be long one but
it will be a very strenuous one while
it lasts. The entire country is inter
ested in knowing just who can be de-
pended upon in times of stress like
these, and if there are any inhabitants
who are enjoying the blessed privileges
of this land and who refuse to help
with their pocket-books the sooner it
is found out the better. The people
want to know what is wrong with
them.
War Savings Stamps, which are Uni
ted States Government bonds, the
same as Liberty Bonds, can be paid
for during any month in the year 1918,
but it is intended that they will be
signed for ON June 28th. The price of
each War Savings Stamp depends upon
the month during which it is bought.
During June each stamp will cost $4.17;
in July it will cost $4.18, and so on, one
cent more each month during 1918. On
January l, 1923, Uncle sam will redeem
every War Savings Stamp for SIS re-
gardless of the month during which It
was bought
The law provides that no person can
hold in his own name War Savings
Stamps exceeding $1,000 maturity value.
The War Savings Stamps however, may
be purchased for other members of the
family, including minor children IF,
because of some serious financial re-
verses, or calamity, it should be nee
essary to get all or part of the money
before January 1, 1923, one may do so
by giving ten days notice to any
money order postmaster, in which case
one may get the money paid for the
stamps, with interest to date of pay
ment. The stamps are free from all
state and local taxes; when registered
at the postofice they are insured
against loss.
The government of the United States
expects all citizens of every school dis
trict and county to subscribe for a GER
quota and to pledge themselves to save
and economic to help win the war. In
rural communities and the smaller
towns and cities, meetings will be
held in school houses at 2 P. M. School
Officers will conduct the meetings in
each school house, keeping a public
record of the proceedings and reporting
the names Of ali persons present and
the amount Of War Savings Stamps
subscribed for by them.
1t is up to each citizen of this state
to see that his name is on the right
list.

decorated with the prettiest flowers of
the opening summer season; there was
the usual number of visitors, including
many of the former students of the

There was the touch Of the patriotic
which has come to be the custom in all
things at Kemper Hall; there were
bright faces and happy and proud par
ents and everything that goes to make
the "grand old day we graduated :"
one long to be remembered by the
students and their friends.
The class of 1918 at Kemper Hall
was not the largest class in the history
of the school, but the members of the
class had been very popular with the
people of Kenosha and there was an
unusually large representation of
"town people" at the commencement
exercises this morning. Added inter
est was given to the commencement ex-
ercises by the fact that the Misses
. Wo11
Wells, both well known to the younger
society of the city, had prominent places
on the commencement program.
The exercises opened at the Simmons
gymnasium. The annual commence
ment address was delivered by the Rev.
Arthur H. Lord, rector of st. James
Church in Milwaukee. Preceding the

the numbers being given by the Misses
Isabel Marie Wells, Clara Bues, Kath-
arine Story, Dorothy lone Symmes,
Kathryn Norma Staat and Florence
Wells, all of the senior class, and by
Earl D. Blair.
After the address by the Rev. Mr.
Lord there was the annual professional
to the chapel. The students sang the
Kemper Hall song, written by Eliza
beth Kemper Adams, and mingled with
it the "Star Spangled Banner.'
At the chapel Bishop Webb presided
and made the annual awards of medals
and prizes. At the conclusion of the
ceremonies at the chapel members of
the class and the visitors gathered
ON the campus for the laying of the
1918 class stone and the commence
ment exercises closed with the bene-
diction of the bishop.
The following members of the class
received diplomas: The Misses Clara
Bues, Margaretta Elizabeth Fem,
Frances Sidney Hadfeld, Susanna Sit
greaves Kemper, Ann Clark Lorenzen,
Helen Martyr Rhodes, Kathryn Norma
Staat, Katharine Story, Dorothy lone
Symmes, Harriette Walters, Isabel
Marie Wells, Florence Grace Wells,
and Dorothy Zacharias.
Just after noon the Mother Superior
entertained many of the visitors and
the members of the class at the annual
commencement day luncheon.
This afternoon the annual meeting of
the Kemper Hall almunae is being held
and many former students from Chica-
go, Milwaukee and other cities came
to attend the meeting. 1t will close

RED CROSS FIRE.

A new phase in the knitting depart
ment of the Kenosha Red Cross that is
interesting the school girls, is the knit
ting of six inch colored squares for
afghans that are being made for the
Belgian children. The squares are knit
from odd ends of yarn left over from
sweaters, tams and such and are made
all one color or in stripes. Any one
having odd pieces of bright colored
yarn is urged to donate it, no matter
how little it is. The squares when
sewed together make pretty, warm
afghans that viii delight the little SUI
fering Belgians. Many of the girls
are making one together, while others
are trying to knit enough squares for
one without assistance. Bring your
odd ends of yarn up to the Red Cross
the next time you pass and help the
children do their bit

MESA'S FIRST DAY
 NETS LOAN S10,000

MESA, Sept. 2s.-The first day of the Fourth Liberty loan drive started off most auspiciously yesterday when at the close of the days business ap- proximately S10,000 had been sub scribed Mrs. Roger Stadleman is at the receiving desk and is being assisted by Miss Nell Price. The campaign for the first week will depend entirely upon voluntary subscriptions, the con- mittee in charge feeling that it will be a mark of especial interest in the loan when citizens will come forward without solicitation and loan their money to the government. There is no use denying the fact that until the cotton market opens and buying be- gins. it will be difficult for the general public to respond freely, but there is small doubt that cotton will begin moving rapidly within the next few days. However, yesterdays start in dicates that, regardless of the above condition, the people are going to re- spond literally to the call.
