Young Men From Kenosha
Urged to Fill Up Vacan-
cies in Student Army
Corps There.
MANY ADVANTAGES offered
sixty More Boys Can Be Taken Care
of at the College and Entrance
May Be Made Any Time With
in Next Two Weeks.

With request that Kenosha people
show little neighborliness, Lieutenant
Thompson Of the Student Army Train
ing Corps at Lake Forest College came
to Kenosha on Monday afternoon and
interviewed school officials with view
of securing few boys from Kenosha
to ill up the quota of Lake Forest
College. Two hundred places are of
fered in the corps there and but lao
young men have responded. Lake For
est is only thirty miles from Kenosha
and Lieutenant Thompson thinks that
II is 80 close to home that lot Of
boys from Kenosha might want to get
into very high grade corps. He as
serts that the fact that the corps is
small gives the assurance that the men
win get every possible care. Lake
Forest College has turned the big brick
dormitories over for the army use and
the boys are being provided with ex-
ceptional quarters.
While the college year started two
weeks ago there is still time to enter.
OF course Uncle Sam makes the same
provision for the students at Lake For
est as he does for student soldiers at
any other institution Of learning. The
boys get their board and room, tut
tion and in addition the thirty dollar
stipend that goes to every enlisted man
in the United States Army.
"We have an excellent corps at
Lake Forest" said Lieutenant Thomp-
son. The school is near to Kenosha
and it offers an opportunity for week
end visits home and we know how
much the boys in service like to get
home once in while. So long as we
have these sixty vacancies we should
like to have the places filled up and
filed up by boys from the territory
about the school. Many Kenosha boys
have attended Lake Forest college and
the small student body has made it
possible in the past to give the boys a
lot of individual attention. We are
following this same plan in working
out our army work
Up to the present time not Ken
osha man has been enlisted for the
Lake Forest Student Training Corps.
1t is believed that this new appeal
backed by a string recommendation
from school officials will open the way
for a number of Kenosha BOYS to Get
into the finest service in the world
The United States Army. The time
for entrance is limited and boys to take
advantage Of it must act at once.

TRANSPORT REPRESENTATIVE
COMING.

J. D. Connell, special representative
of the Motor Transport Corps will be
in Kenosha Thursday and Friday for
the purpose of giving any information
persons interested in enlisting in that
service required and to assist in recruit
ing volunteers for that services
This is the quickest way to be as
signed to active duty in the branch
Of military service you would like to
be engaged in. The government is cal
ling for 10000 men, one half of whom
may be of the first class in the army
draft. These men will be trained un-
der the supervision Of the Military
Training Camps Association and sent
direct to the branch of service for
which the volunteer enlists without
waiting the slow motions of the regular
routine.
For the other 5000 men ANYBODY will
be taken, even the sc class men.
James F. Knapp, in the Public Service
Building, is the local chairman for this
association, and he can take your ap-
plication the same or little better
than if you should go to Milwaukee or
Chicago.

o FOR A BOOK
Howard M. Ripley,
1st 1t. M. R. G

80 for book and shady nooki''
You recollect the rhymes,
Written now many years ago
In placid happier times?
To-day no shady hooks are ours.
With half the world at strife,
And dark ambition laying waste
The pleasant things of life;
But still the cry for books is heard,
For solace Of the magic word.
20 for a book, the cry goes forth,
go for a book to read;
To soothe us in our WEAKNESS,
The laggard hours to speed!'
From countless hospitals it comes,
Where stricken soldiers lie,
Who gave their youth, who gave their
strength,
Lest Liberty should die.
How small favor to implore:
The books we've finished with - no
more!
A book can have thousand lives,
With each new reader, one;
A book should have a thousand lives
Before its course is run.
And we few kinder things can do
Our gratitude to show,
Than give the freedom of our shelves
To those that need it so.
Nor let them ask without avail
The sweet beguilement of tale.
A little poem given out by the Amer.
lean Library Association, who is fur.
nishing books to our soldiers, sailors
and marines.

MOTHER RECEIVES LETTER.


Mrs. F. W. Ripley of $50 Fleet street
has received the following letter from
her son, Lieut.. Howard M. Ripley, whe
is with the American Expeditionary
Forces.
Dear Folks
Am now in France. We finished our
trip across the Atlantic without any
serious incident. Land underfoot never
felt better IN my life.
The customs and people here are very
much different than in the United
States. The farms are small fields Of
an acre or two divided off by high
shubbery covered earth fences. The
ground is of course under extensive Gull
tivation and everything in the line
of crops is very carefully harvested.
The buildings are of stone and mortar
and are very quaint. People live in
one portion of dwelling and cows and
horses and chickens in the other.
/ am learning a little French. Sue
ceeded In ordering a meal at a little
restaurant where the proprietoress could
talk and understand very little Eng
lish. It was very amusing on our
march to camp to hear the French
children sing American songs, espe-
cially "Cheer Cheer, The Gangs all
Here" which they did without errors
or omissions
/ rather enjoy living in a tent and
$50 far have been comfortable. Our
food is good, all Of it is cooked on
field stoves Except the bread which
comes from the Quartermaster Depart
ment.) Have plenty Of fresh meat,
bacon, potatoes, beans, tomatoes and
coffee. Can hardly realize that we are
lin the feld.o

frequently,
Lovingly,
