MADE AN EXCELLENT START
But IN A WRONG DIRECTION

Ike Graham, one of the youthful
horse thieves who stole a band of
horses in the northern part of the
county a short time ago, and who
gave the sheriff a long chase before
their ultimate capture, stole a horse
at the Industrial School last night
and escaped from that institution.
Graham put up a plea to the officers
at the time of his arrest that brought
confinement in the Industrial School
rather than in the p~enitentiary. The
young fellow promised to lead a diff
ferent life in future. He has made
ar excellent start-in the wrong di-
rection. The sheriff will start after
the culprit again today.-[Elko indie

GRAY Wolf MUST
PASS FROM RANGE

The gray wolf, responsible for a
large percentage of cattle and sheep
losses in the western part or the
country, will be exterminated in Utah
within two years, and the Western
States will be freed of he animal
within five years, through the cain-
paign against predatory animals now
being conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This is
| the opinion of DR.. A. X. Fisher, in
| charge of the economic investiga-
tons of the Biological Survey of the
department, given during a recent
visit to Salt Lake City.
DR.. Fisher said there were only
about one hundred gray wolves left
in Utah. He estimated that each
such wolf destroys $1,000 worth of
stock annually. He says that $4,000
was paid the government for hides
of predatory animals last year, and
that the various states received al
llOSl q llhC diiiOuh1 iS
that $4,000, 900 worth of wool and
meat and $10,0 600, 900 worth of gram
and produce were saved last year
through the killing of predatory ami
mails.
Sheep and cattle a be turned ont
on the range in places where it for
merly was impossible before the de-
struction of predatory animals by
government trappers and various
boards, according to DR.. Fisher, IL
crops are raised with profit where ii
formerly was impossible because of
activity of misunderstanding rodents.
DR.. Fisher predicts an increase in
the efficiency in this work annually.

the Salvation Army" declared the
state manager, "and I am here today

ing year" He added that the site

tically chosen and that plant for the
home were well under way.

than Racine IS because Racine had a
lower expense budget than this city,
due to the fact that home had al

lists in that city. Reports from com
niittees showed that he campaign was
progressing as well as could be expected.

KenOshans Respond To the
Appeal Made To Raise Ke-
nosha's Quota of $4,000
For Salvation Army.
DRIVE ON FULL BLAST
All Committees Are Busy Pushing the
Claims Of Salvationists Here Many
Respond But More Must Hear Call
If Campaign Goes Over Top.

"Good but not enough" was the an
nopncement made this morning by the
committee in charge Of the work Of
raising Kenosha's quota of $4,000 for
the work Of the Salvation Army. The
drive started officially on Monday and
is now on in full blast in Kenosha
Everywhere that the committee has
been able to reach, Kenoshans have
opened their hearts and their purses
and in consideration Of both the peace
and wartime work Of the Salvationists
have given literally to the fund.
At noon today, the committee met
in the Pompeian Room at the Elks Club
and made temporary reports on the
status Of the drive. No totals were
given out but Chairman Dayton de-
clared that the campaign was proceed
ing slowly and reports showed that
Kenosha was interested in the work
and would help in reaching the quota
assigned to this city.
Campaign is Well Started.
The drive was started last week when
the Elks, under whose auspices the
drive is being carried on, donated $500
as an order and assessed each member
dollar to add $1,000 to the fund. In
several Kenosha factories interest has
been shown in the venture and various
means are being used to bring it to the
attention of the thousands of workers
of Kenosha. Many individual subscrip-
tons for varying amounts are also be-
ing made to the committee Anyone
desiring to make contribution is asked
to get into communication with Chair
man Edward Dayton, Treasurer Frank
Wolfe or Secretary G. A. Mittesteadt,
the members of the executive commit
tee of the drive. Contributions will
also be received by any of the mem
bers of the subcommittee as made
public last week.
Plan Many Innovations.
"Our only trouble declared one
member Of the executive committee this
morning, lis to get the appeal before
the people. Everyone that has been
approached and told the nature Of the
work of the Salvation Army has been
willing to dip deep in his jeans and
help out. We must, however, reach the
majority of the people of Kenosha if
this city is to go over the top this week
in the campaign. /"
| At the meeting today a plan was
discussed for having a Salvation
1 Army performance at the various mo-
ton picture and play-houses of Keno
sha This with "doughnut frys' Sal
walton Army boiling pots on street
corners and possibly tag day, may
be features of the closing days of the
campaign.

citaI At Army and Navy
Club Monday Night and
Are Well Received.
DANCE FOLLOWS PROGRAM
Herth's Orchestra Plays For Informal
Dancing Party Which Follows Var
led Program - Little Stars Make
Hit With the Audience.

An appreciative audience thronged
the Army and Navy Club Monday
evening when the Girls Community
Service League presented program of
local talent. The platform at the west
end of the large room had been draped
in flags and palms and chrysanthemums
were used in forming lovely back
ground. The orange hooded lights also
threw softening glow over the scene.
Miss Alberta Kratz gave the pro-
gram a delightful opening touch with
her song II Am Lonesome That g All. y
The second number was given by one
of the two baby stars, Miss Janice
Gottheb, who recited "Baby Brother"
and "Puzzles' to the delight of the
audience. Miss Marjorie Sershon, the
popular little singer, captivated the
audience with Lullaby Land ~ Mic
key" and "Oh, Frenchy Miss Mar
jorie Wright next gave an interpreta-
tive dance. Gas the Fleet Goes By"
was dramatically read by Miss Edna
Mayer.
Hawaiian Act Pleases.
The next number was a novelty act
which met with favor. Miss Clarice
Smith sang Hawaiian Lullaby" to
the strains of soft southern melody
produced by Charles Newhouse and
Richard Van Lone with guitars and
Edward Van Lone with a ukelele.
Miss Smith also danced to music pro-
vided by this trio who are winning
recognition for their clever act.
Miss Cecille Barnett, dancing instruc-
tor at the Kenosha School Of Music and
physical education instructor at the
Balm school, gave delightful interpre-
tative dance, Chapeau." Miss Helen
Barden, who is coming to the fore as a
dramatic reader, gave Barrie's "The
Twelve Pound Look. - The three char.
acters in this clever little reading
were remarkably we'll taken by Miss
Barden who brought out all the humor
of the situation.
Stina Yonson Appears Last.
The last number on the program was
novelty act by Miss Yvette Goldberg
who gave an impersonation Of ''Stina
Yonson," Swedish maid Miss Gold
berg has given this impersonation at
various affairs but the act is never the
same. She has just hazy idea of what
she is to do before she makes her APP
pearance and then, after sizing up her
audience, she works in jokes, songs and
dances which are bound to get large
especially in her ludicrous makeup.
The entire program was SO good and
so varied that it would be difficult
matter to say just which number had
been most enthusiastically received
The costuming throughout was very
appropriate and added to the general
effect. Both Miss Creekmore, director
of the Girls Community Service League
and the girls in the units are very well
satisfied with their venture and be
heve that it augurs well for the sue
cess of other affairs which they expect
to put on in the near future.
Herth's orchestra furnished a pro
gram of delightful dance music for thc
informal dance which followed the re
cital and, because of the special occa
sion the crowds were permitted K
