new HOME FOR
SOLDIERS CLUB
Army and Navy Club viii
Probably Move Soon to
New Rooms in Unfair
ian Church.
PARLORs ARE SPACIOUS
New Home Will Have Every Facility
for Making Real Home for Visit
ing Soldiers Final Details Left
to Committee.

The Simmons Memorial Church on
Chicago street will probably soon be-
come the new home Of the Kenosha
Army and Navy Club. This became
evident at the meeting Of the commit
tee held Monday afternoon in the pres
emit club rooms of the organization in
the Kenosha News Company Building
on Wisconsin street, where the ques-
tion of new quarters for the club was
discussed.
The deaf is far from closed yet =,
said W. ID. Martin, chairman of the
Army and Navy Club committee this
morning, "but the Unitarian Church
is much the best proposition which has
been submitted to the club and it will
probably be accepted. A special com
mittee was appointed to make a closer
investigation and to act on the lease
aid from the sentiment expressed at
the Monday afternoon meeting the sail
ors and soldiers will soon be making
the Memorial Church their new club
home wh4!e they are in Kenosha
The Unitarian Church will make an
ideal and picturesque home for the
club. The auditorium of the church
is to be made the main club nom
with Offices in the pastor g study. The
basement OF the church furnishes pleuty
Of room for dining room and kitchen
facilities, which are lacking in any
other rooms now being considered by
the committee. The trustees of the
church have signifed their Willingness
to lease the church for the use Of the
soldiers ard sailors and with both par
ties favorable the deal will! probably
be closed soon.
The only unfavorable feature of the
church as a home for the sailors is
the fact that it is off the beaten path
but it is believed that the visiting
military men will soon find out that
a warm welcome awaits them In the
little church around the corner and
that this viii prove no drawback to
the location. No definite date has been
considered for the moving of the club
to it's new quarters, in the event that
the lease is completed, but whenever
it is done the day will be made one
of the "red letter" ones iii the his
tory Of the Kenosha Army and Navy
Club.
There was little other business
brought before the committee meeting
on Monday afternoon. Reports from
Secretary Newberry showed that in
terest in the work was continuing and
that the club was attracting more sol
diers and sailors every week end. Plans
for greeting the boys "when Johnny
comes marching home" were also sug-
gested and will be taken up at later
meetings.

Three years ago Monday night 6

execution of Edith Caven. They were
impressed by its barbarism and vowed
vengeance on its perpetrators. The
better to effect their purpose they or

progress as we'll as the achievement OF
their sacred purpose they gave a gala
masquerade in Castle Hall on the oc
casion of their third anniversary.
The birthday function was car
nival of post-bellum vim and vivacity
Little fairies were there in fairy, flmy
things shimmering with touches of silk
and tinsel. "Devil's Hoof' and his
bohemian Girlp in gypsy coats of red
and yellow dazzled the Georgians with
gypsy measures and gypsy pleasures
suggestive of the revelry of haunted
forests, phantom affairs, or dreamy
''marble halls. ftThe funniest wo

RAISING FOOD STANDARDS
(By Alice Dynes Feuling, Dept. of Food

| (By Alice Dynes Feuling, Dept. of Food
Economics, Armour and Company
In raising the standard of canned
foods it has been found absolutely nee
essary that product should be canned
as soon as possible after it has been
gathered, if it is to preserve its fresh
taste and flavor; also it should be han
died as little as possible. This first req
uisite makes the canning plant unlike
most industries. 1t cannot establish a
central branch in a large city, take adj
vantage of abundant and cheap labor
Isupply there, and ship its produce to
such place for manufacturing. On the
contrary, it must transport its mechan-
zeal equipment and staff of trained en-
ployes and in most cases hundreds Of
operators to the spot where the prod
ucts for the factory are growing.
This system explains why canned
corn is so much superior to what it was
formerly, and also, perhaps, why there
is so great a difference in certain
brands of corn. Corn deteriorates more
quickly than do most vegetables.
There are whole sections of this coun-
try, down the Eastern coast from
Maine to Virginia and west to Missouri
and Iowa, given over to the raising Of
sweet corn for canning industry.
The corn is gathered sometimes m ton
lots and literally rushed to the plant;
for experience has shown that the best
results are obtained when the corn is
sealed in the can not more than twelve
hours after it is gathered. The corn
season embraces only a few months in
midsummer when the sun is hot and
the nights warm for the ripening. The
tomato season. is about. the same time
and the tomatoes for canning are
grown in practically the same terri
tory.
This, however, does not mean dou-
BILE season for the packing plant, for
corn and tomato packing call for diff
ferent equipments. There are various
complicated machines that husk, silk
and cut the corn from the cob. Toma-
toes, after which they are placed in
another receptacle for sealding and
peeling. Canned food today of the best
variety is fresher and cheaper than
that usually found in the city markets.

of soldier verse entitled "Yanks. y
The tiny gray-backed volume is drab
and insignificant in appearance but in
content it holds the whole catalogue of
military emotions, including homesick-
ness, the hopelessness of it, and even
the tender feeling for the folks they
left behind them.
Take for instance this little fantasy
entitled Camou1age' in which the
soldier-he calls himself "M. G..
tears off the painted mask and shows
his realer self:
"'They tell us tales of camoufage.
The art of hiding things;
Of painted forts and powered guns
Invisible to wings.
Well, it, nothing new to us,
| To us, the rank and file;
We understand this camoufage
We left home with smile.
We saw the painted battleships
And earthen-colored trains,
And planes the hue OF leaden skies
And canvas-hidden lanes.
Well, we used the magic art
That day of anxious fears;
We understand this camoufage
We laughed away your tears.
They say that scientific men
And artists of renown
| Debated long on camoufage
| Before they got it down.
Well, it came right off to us,
We didn't have to learn;
We understand this camoudage
We said we'd soon return.
We understand this camoufage,
This art Of hiding things;

And all the songs he sings.

lain while the bugler blew "taps'' in
perfect rythm with ats tragic refrain:
In the woods they call Rouge-Bouquet
There is a new-made grave today,
Built by never a spade or pick,
Yet covered by earth ten meters thick.
There lie many fighting men,
Dead in their youthful prime,
Never to laugh or live again
Or taste of the summer time;
For death came flying through the air
And stopped his flight ct the dugout stair
Touched his prey
And left them there
Clay to clay.
He hid their bodies stealthily
In the soil of the land they sought to free
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
(Taps sounding in distance.)
There is on earth no worthier grave
To hold the bodies of the brave
Than this spot of pain and pride
Where they nobly fought and nobly died.
Never fear but in the skies
Saints and angels stand,
Smiling with their holy eyes
On this new come band.

And touches the aureole on MS hair,
As he sees them stand saluting there,
His stalwart sons;
And Patrick, Bridget and Columbkill
Rejoice that in veins of warriors still
The Gael 8 blood runs.
And up to Heavens doorway floats,
From the woods called Rouge-B Bouquet,
A delicate sound of bugle notes
That softly say:
Farewell
Farewell

And your memory shine like
