Boost War Savings.

That instead Of the Liberty Loan
campaign and the War Savings move
ment conflicting they really supplement-
each other is the gist of a speciai state
ment issued by j. HI. Puelicher, State
Director of War Savings for Wis
consin. The statement is as follows
The Liberty Loan campaign and
the War Savings movement are no
more rivals than the super-dread-
naughts and the destroyers of our navy
are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and War Saw
ings Stamps are two forms of the same
financial operation of the United Gov
ernment They were authorized by
the same vote of Congress and are
intended to supplement- each other.
They are both of paramount impor-
lance to the financing of the war;
The Liberty Loan campaign is pri-
marily to obtain the many billions Of
dollars necessary toward paying the
expenses of war and lending to our
Allies.
|'The peculiar significance of the
War Savings movement is to teach the
nation TO save and to invest its 81
ings in War Savings Stamps in rider
that the Government. may not mercy
get money, but spend this money for
the support Of the army.
Successive Liberty Loan Bonds
will be sold in campaigns at intervals.
The War Savings campaign will last
throughout the year-no doubt until
the war is over. 1t aims to develop
ing habits of thrift that shall make
the sales Of stamps cumulative. And
the persons of United means who in.
vests in a few War Savings Stamps
does his share as we'll as the weather
man who buys a quantity of Liberty
Loan Bonds. Millions who could not
afford to invest in Liberty Bonds will
be able and glad to help by investing
in War Savings Stamps. The two
campaigns are, in reality, but one -
that of financing for victory"

PRAIRIE
JUMPS THE GUN
Kenosha County Town Takes Flying
Start on Liberty Loan Campaign
by Voting Purchase of $4,000.

The town of Pleasant Prairie has
jumped the gun. In the race for honors
among the towns Of Kenoshq county in
the Third Liberty Loan campaign it
took flying START on Monady after
noon when at the meeting of the vot-
ers in the town hall, it was unani-
mously voted that the town of Pleasant
Prairie would purchase $4,000 worth
of he third loan. The entire amount
is to be available within two weeks
and will constitute the first pledge
in the county.
The budget for the roads of the
town also came up for consideration at
the meeting of the voters and it was
voted that $4,000 was to be raised by
taxation in the event that the town
voted dry and $1,000 in the event that
the town went wet in the election.
1t is believed that at least $1,000
would be derived from the liquor IL
censes if saloons came back to the

IT. J. Stahl, L. E. Hulse, J. Fl. Sweeney,
and Fl. w. Cady all of Waukegan, I'll.

business enterprises of that neighboring
city. Mr.. Stahl is also president of the
Security Title and Trust Company of
Waukegan. He will continue his bust
ness interests in Waukegan, but will
divide his time between the two cities
in assisting with the organization and
development Of the business Of the new

Joseph FL. Sweeney has been con-
nected with 7. J. Stahl & Company of
Waukegan, for several years and comes

will devote his entire time and atten-
ton to the business of the new com
pany here.
The local company 8 utilization with
the Waukegan company, which we I'M
derstand is capitalized for a similar
amount, makes one of the largest and
strongest concerns financially doing
real estate business along the North
Shore, and Kenosha is glad to welcome
this new concern to a place among her
established business enterprises.

The City Election.

The city election did not go our way.
We had hoped for different result,
but the people of the city by their
votes have selected Alderman John G.
Joachim to be mayor Of the city for
the next two years
Witt the victors we say, "The King
is Dead--Long Live the King. We
extend to the mayorelect our congrat-
ulations The people of the city of
Kenosha have paid him mighty big
compliment. They have said that he is
the man to preside over the destinies
of 5he best city in Wisconsin and a
city that is trotting dead heat to be
the BEST city in the country.
The election is q wonderful oppor-
tunity for Alderman Joachim. His
election is victory for the people who
believe in enthusiasm and pep and
tumult with possibly just a little bluff
mixed in with it.
He can put these elements 10 work
for tho city of Kenosha right away.
We hope to ave his aid in the contin-
uation Of the battle for better gas;
for better streets; for municipal
coal pile, and lot of other things
that Kenosha needs.
Mayor-elect Joachim was not our
candidate, but he is going to have our
support in everything that he does for
the advancement of the city Of Keno
sha 1t is not going to be begrud-
ing support We are for Kenosha first
and it's mayor afterward and so long
as its mayor is for Kenosha we are
standing in the front rank behind him.
or if necessary we are willing to go
ahead and point the way.
We have only good wishes for Mayor
elect Joachim He is entitled to be
given every assistance that the people
of Kenosha can give him regardless as
to whether or not they voted for him.
1t is a matter for regret that excel
lent members of the council were de-
feated at the election on Tuesday but
it may prove that untried men who
have been named to succeed them may
prove worthy of the trust imposed on
them by the people.
The people have shown their good
sense in leaving the council free 70
issue bonds for the new schools. This
means that the education of the child
rem is going to be taken care of.
Just glancing at the election it
would appear that the spread of the
Socialist propaganda has been rapid in
Kenosha county, but second examina-
tion would indicate that the votes for
Berger were a protest against the war
rather than an advance of Socialism
They might have been cast for any
other candidate who took the same
stand ON the war.
The election is over for another two
years. Kenosha needs your help to be
greater city. The men elected to
Office need your help to see to it that
they wisely act to advance the best
interests Of their. home town.

Davies Wins Ke-
nosha County

Joseph E. Davies, the Democratic
candidate for United States Senator,
carried Kenosha county. His long lead
in the city made it easy for him to
overcome the lead which Lenroot was
given in the county towns Berger
was third. The vote was: Davies, 1857;
Lenroot, 2348; Berger, 1888. The most
interesting fact in the race was the
big vote cast for Davies in the city
and the fact that the town of Wheat
land gave the large majority of it's
vote to Berger. The vote in detail for
the county follows:
