 l Another rainy week and very lit- tie has happened. But, sh! I think the sun is going to shine. saw bit of blue in the sky tonight.
 School will start in another week or so. It doesn't seem so very long since we were going to school up on the hill, does it? However, those who are school boys and girls now should consider themselves lucky to be able to attend school in such a splendid building, and if l they don't they should just compare it with the school house we had to attend The school teachers will arrive on one of the next boats and those students who have been spend and in the South are beginning to | return. Mrs. Casey and Florence Casey returned on the Humboldt In order to be here in time for Flor ence to enter school. Mrs. Nowell and Frances will be here next week. Y time visiting in Seattle. Donald MacKinnon and Donald Condit have come back from Pet ersburg where they have been sur veying this summer, and-it all means that they, and others who have. spent the snmmarA here in town, will be working, hard, in . l short time.

 MT. and Mrs, Hugh Gallagher left for the South this morning. I think MT. Gallagher is going to or ganize a new department, a claim department, I believe, for his com pany, and he will have charge of 1t when the organization is com pleted.
 It seems so strange not to have any of the Heids in town, "Hetnie" Dupuy, and. "Snooks" and Gertrude Sugden have arrived; in Vancouver. now. They are sorely missed by their friends here
 If you believe that the Germans are not horrible things and that all this talk about Belgian atrocities IS bosh, you should talk to some one who has returned from the Front. Lieut..

 BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug. 31.-- Overalls 4or women workers have been officially approved by the City Council which held a special session to pass upon the propriety of the use of these garments by women.
 This is the home of large fac tory. When the army called many men workers to the colors, women took their places. The State, factory law prohibits the wearing of loose clothing near machinery and overalls were adopted by women workers Their appearance on the street go ing to and from their work caused a protest to be filed with the City Council by the Women leaders of a reform organization The protest was published,
 It was answered by mothers of working girls who held that the over alls were more modest than the pre- vailing styles in women's dress to be seen on the streets of this col lege town. The male employees of the factory rallied to the cause of the overall girls" and the general superintendent. issued an open letter approving of overalls for women.
 Finally Mayor Weaver called the special session of the council. It was attended by women workers and society women After much discus sion the overalls were officially ap- proved.
 HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 31. - Statistics just made public by of ficials in charge of selective draft work in Hawaii show what materials are being poured into the American melting pot at the Crossroads of the Pacific"

Six Year-Old Boy Who For
merry Lived at Wilmot
Victim of Awful Acct
dent at Scion Mills.
HEROIC MOTHER NAY Die
Son of Mrs. VIM. Brennan Was Playing
With Bear at Home Of Grand
father When Torn
to Death.

Like a page from the history of the
lays of the "clcarings'' OF pioneer
times, is the tragic story of the death
Of James Brennan, six year old son Of
Mrs. VIM Brennan, former resident of
the village of Wilmot in the western
part Of this county and with it is a
story Of the heroisn Of a mother
which is scarcely paralleled in the
annals of Kenosha county.
The little boy was torn to death by
a black bear at Scion Mills on Monday
evening and the mother is now hover
villge. People at Wilmot received the
tragic story of the death Of the little
boy and the heroism of his mother
on Tuesday and it has cast pail Of
grief over the village.
The bear which killed the little hoy
was owned by his grandfather, George
Vogel, widely known as an auctioneer
in Southern Wisconsin and Northern
tied up at the Vogel home at Scion
Mills for years. The bear was suppos-
cd to be tame. On Monday evening
the little Brennan boy was playing in
the yard near the haunts of the bear
and he got too near to the animal
which caught him in his clutches and
literally tore the child to death. When
Mrs. Brennan heard the cries Of her
son she ran to the rescue and attempt
ed to tear the body of the little boy
from the clutches of the bear. The
bear rushed upon her and caught her
in it's great paws, tearing the flesh
from her shoulders and digging its
claws into her head and face. Neigh
bors rushed to her assistance and the
bear was stunned when struck by a
stone and the rescuers pulled Mrs.
Brennan from the clutches of the bear
and carried her to the home near by,
On Tuesday evening it was reported
that she was in very serious con
dition and she may not survive
her injuries.
The bear had been owned by "Col. y
vogel for some years and he had been
accustomed to take it with him to auc.
tion sales held in that section of the
country. Of late the bear had shown
signs of being vicious, but he had been
kept securely tied. The children in the
neighborhood had been warned not to
get near the bear, but the little Bren'
nan boy had often played with the bear
and he disobeyed these instructions.
The funeral of the little boy was
held at Scion Mills this afternoon.

DR.. Pennington is a new kind Of q

the soft pedal on some Of the stories
of the sufferings Of men who may be

blems of war-the surgical treatment
of the wounded and the proper care
Of the well--will attend this lecture.

friends of DR.. Sell of the First Congre-

gestion of the Pastor that he offered
to come to Kenosha to give this most
important lecture.
DR.. Pennington has made a close

by European hospitals for the treat
ment of the soldiers. He has some
wonderful pictures showing just what
is being done by the surgeons to save
the lives Of men wounded in battle.
His lecture brings a bright ray of
hope to one of the most serious con-
Isiderations of war. He will show
what is being done to build men from
battle SCARED wrecks of men and the
triumph which surgery is having over
war and carnage. DR.. Pennington is

The lecture will be one of the most
interesting and educational lectures
given in Kenosha since the opening

ton insists that his talk to be most ef-
fective must contain this appeal 70

KENOSHA CADET CORPS
HAS BEEN ORGANIZED

There are few at least in Kenosha
who believe in military training for
high school students. There is a great
deal more to military training than
merely learning the art Of warfare.
Nc one who has had any opportunity
of observing the physical Improvement
in the boys j. the training camps is
opposed to military training.
With the idea of eventually putting
military drill in the schools, where it
belongs, some men with military ex-
perience have started an organization
known as the Kenosha Cadet Corps,
composed of boys from IA to IS years
of age. A picked few have been drill
ling for the last three weeks and are
now far enough advanced that they
have been made the onscommissioned
officers Of the skeleton company now
formed. The movement has the back
ing Of the parents of the boys who
now belong. No membership fees are
charged and no one connected with
the work is receiving any renunera-
tion, but are giving their services be-
cause of their sincere belief in the
cause of military training for boys.
Drills are held twice week, Mon
day and Thursday afternoons from
$3.50 to 4:30. It is thought that ar
rangements may be made whereby the
boys can drill from $3.50 to $3.50 thus
giving those who have to work after
school their usual hours for work.
The next drill will be held Thurs
day of this week at $3.50 and new re-
eruits will be accepted at that time.
Applications can be secured from Paul
Jorgensen who is the first sergeant of
the company. Those desiring to join
the company are asked to report for
drill at the Armory at the time stated.
Any boy who cannot pass a physical
examination or who is below five feet
is barred. The only other require
ment is that the candidate must real
ize that he is joining strictly mill
tary organization and that military
discipline is in force at all times.
Don t put off joining. Universal com
pulsory service is only little way off
and any boy who has had any military
arill is in line for official recognition.
