BIGGER AND BETTER.
E. F. U. Starts Campaign in Kenosha
to Make the Local Branch a
Stronger Organization

The Kenosha branch of the Equitable
Fraternal Union is starting this week
campaign to make the organization
stronger and better known in this city.
State officers are satisfied with the
splendid work of the order In Kenosha
but are convinced that with the reputa-
ton which the organization has secured,
many members may be secured by an
intensive campaign here.
The home of the Equitable Fraternal
Union is at Neenah, where twenty
years ago it was established. 1t is to
the credit of the society that among the
nine men who organized it nearly q
quarter of a century ago and who still
continue active in its affairs are Su-
preme President E. A. Wilson, Supreme
Treasurer J. G. Hilton and Supreme Sec
rotary Orrin Thompson. In 1909 the
company erected beautiful and com
modious Office building at Bedford stone
with granite base at an expenditure of
not less than 100000.
The work of the order has gradually
spread from one state to another until
to-day the E. F. U. is writing fraternal
contracts in twelve states and its mem
bership of $4,000 extends from Wiscon-
sin to the Gulf of Mexico and from
coast to coast Honest intelligent and
capable management of the society and
its funds on the part of the supreme
officers, coupled with an unusual careful
medical selection accounts in a large
part for the excellent showing of the
Equitable Fraternal Union.

EVIDENCE.
Local Sammy in Training at Camp
Dodge Pays his Respects to the
s'Rotten'' Gas Back Home.

He isn't an official Etsmellero but
his nose was physically ft'', at least,
and he is now in training at Camp
Dodge, Iowa, for service overseas.
And yet with all the glamor and
glory of army life about him he some
how can forget "the gas, the gas, the
gol darn gas' and accordingly includes
a little comment on the "joy-killer - in
his last letter to the folks back home.
The communication reads in part as
follows:
"Gee I feel god since / got away
from that rotten Kenosha gas. 1t sure
kill kill someone in time. know it
nearly ruined my eyes. They are much
better now and-talk about appetite
why, man, I can eat anything
SPECIFICS, but better yet, evidence
that may persuade the railroad COM
mission that Kenosha gas-patrons are
worthy of consideration, redress, and
protection.

CANT PRAISE IT ENOUGH /.
Albert Bonn, Kenosha Soldier, Declares
That Red Gross Cannot be Praised
Enough by the Soldiers.

"We soldiers cannot praise the Red
Cross and the Y. M. G. A. enough for
what they are doing for us boys-they
certainly are trying to do everything
they can for the soldiers. This is
the glowing praise accorded the Red
Cross by Albert Bonn, a Kenosha
soldier, a member of 121st Battery,
Heavy Field Artillery, in letter to
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bonn, 454 Grant
street. The artillery man has been
stationed at Camp Macarthur and is
thoroughly in love with the life of
an American soldier.
The letter is chuck-fullo, in the
soldiers language, of praise for Uncle
Sam in his management of the south
ern camp so that Kenosha mothers may
dispel the fears which may have arisen
due to the recent Investigations.
"Please do not worry about me, as I
am well taken care Of" starts one para
graph of the letter. HWe are having
fine eats here and am getting all |
want every day. Uncle Sam ism It
going to let his boys starve. I
am certainly enjoying every phase of
army life''.
One line in the letter will gain the
sympathy of every Kenoshan. This
line reads: ''Talk about the sunny
South-we had snow about two feet
Deep. If there is anything in the old
adage "Misery loves campanionship "
the story of the Kenosha snow deluge
will tighten this trouble of the Keno
sha soldier.

| am coming not in weakling 3 verse,
with a milksop's feeble whine,
With uplifted hand and with soft-voiced
drawl, aghast at the battle line
But come to praise the fight that is
fought for the sake Of Truth and
Right,
The fight that is fought for God and
for Home, that will mate the Right
with Might.
Yes, patience is good, and humility, too,
and SO is the pipe of peace;
But the time will come when forbear-
ance ends, and your sugary miles
must cease;
Then either your hand must grip at
your gun and brighten the sword
from its rust,
Or your slavish neck must bend to
the yoke, and your mouth must chew
the dust.
You must fight for the fire that toasts
your feet, for the roof that shelters
your head,
For the herd that yields you its milk
or meat, for the field that gives you
bread;
You must fight for the bed, you must
fight for board, for the woman you
love the best.
And oh, you must fight with tenfold
will for the baby at her breast.
When mad dog comes down your vii
lage street, with the green foam in
his jaws.
Do you greet him with Bibles and hymn
books, and lovingly bid him pause?
When a rattlesnake rises amidst your
path, alert with its fiery sting,
Do you pet him, and pat him, and wish
him well, and song of welcome singg
When a big-armed bully among the
Powers says the folks of little land
Must sprawl in the dirt and confess to
a crime that never besmirched their
land,
Do you blame that people that rises
up a pigmy ready to fight,
A David aroused, with only a sling,
defying Goliath s might?
When vain war-lord with swollen
head, infamed with brute desire,
Through little State that was Tapped
il. peace comes tramping with blood
and fire
.Despoiling the fields and looting the
towns-do you blame that blameless
state
For rousing in Godlike righteous wrath
and hitting with righteous hate9
And war is the great Arouser; it sill
ences whimpering tongues;
II toughens the muscles, it hardens the
fist, and brings fresh air 70 the lungs,
Though it comes with torch and it
strikes with steel, and shortens life 5
petty span.
That life it exalts to herioc heights, so
man is twice man.
Yes, patience is good, and so is peace;
but he is not worthy of good
Who will not rush forth when the
spoiler comes to defend it with his
blood;
When the spoiler comes with his bandit
crew to shatter with shot and shell,
Let the good man rise, with a fervent
prayer, and give him hell for helll

APPEALS LIQUOR CASES.

U. S. Asks the Supreme Court to Set
Aside Decisions of Lower Tribunals.
Two appeals from Federal court
decisions multiplying in part the Reed
Amendment prohibiting interstate
shipment of intoxicating liquors int
div States for beverage purposes
were filed Wednesday in the Supreme
Court by the government. The court
was asked to expedite consideration
Of the cases. i
In one case, the lower court hello
that the act does not prohibit trans
portation of liquor through a dry
State. In the other the court held
that while the liquor was transport,
ed into dry State from another
State, it was not transported in in
terstate commerce because intended
for personal USE"
The government contends that the
movement of liquor from any State
to another except for purposes dehn-
cd in the law, is violation of the
law.
