"DoN'T, PLEASE DON'T"
Say That You Can't Knit Kidd
sweaters When it's Easy and the
Riddles Need Them so Badly.

And in spite Of the fine weather for
knitting only seventy-fve Kidd
sweaters out Of possible seven hun
dred have been turned into the local
Red Cross Rooms.
Accordingly the following bulletin
has been issued by Kenosha knitting
officials:
Take little time to think over
the matter of little sweaters that must
be made promptly. Don't say that you
have lost interest; everyone is feel.
ing certain slet-down' but don't let
the children suffer because of this.
Don It say the garment will not reach
them before hot weather that is up
to the Central Division and it knows
all about shipping conditions and
when tonnage can be secured. Don It
say that these things are not needed;
the request for them has come from
Red Cross workers over there who
have seen and consequently speak as
those having authority
BY way Of showing the ease of knit
ting kiddisweaters one Kenoshan re-
Gently completed six Of them 6 -
in five days and then asked for yarn
to make some more.
Which suggests that If there were
more of the same spirit there would be
more kiddisweaters at the Red Cross
Rooms ready for shipment overseas.

KoNs1DER THE KAsE OF KELLY
Interesting Little Pamphlet Circulated

Story of Ultra Heroism.

Interesting Little Pamphlet Circulated
in Kenosha Today Tells
Story Of Ultra Heroism.
Visitors at various banks in Keno
sha today were presented with little
booklet bearing the cryptic title stFor
Distinguished Service. The pamph-
let contained a record of stthe kase of
Kelly, little matter worthy Of the
consideration of all patriotic and
altruistic Kenoshans.
For conspicuous gallantry and in
trepidity above and beyond the call of
duty in action with the enemy at Blanc
Mont Ridge, France, 5 October, 1918.
Private Kelly ran through our own
barrage one hundred yards in advance
Of the front line and attacked an en-
envy machine-gun nest, killing the gun
ner with grenade, shooting another
member Of the crew with his pistol,
and returned through the barrage with
eight prisoners.
Home address: Mrs. B. L. Kelly,
Mother, 6149 Kimbark Ave-, Chicago,
Ill.,
This is the citation of the War De-
partment of the heroic exploit of Pri-
vate John Kelly of Chicago. For his
gallantry and intrepidity he has been
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross.
Private Kelly saw his job cut out for
him and he went through with it.
Never swerving, as long as his duty
was plainly before him, he acted and
won.
Most Of us would think we had done
a pretty good day 3 fighting if we broke
through hot artillery barrage and put
a machine-gun nest out of commits
sion. If, after that, we put the ma
chinegun helper out, we would GER
tainly feel all fed up on fighting for
that day.
Private Kelly started where you and
would have stopped He captured
eight prisoners and returned with them
through the iron hail Of his comrades
barrage.
In the Victory Liberty Loan one
thing is certain-we will subscribe it
as we have subscribed the others. Our
banks must not bear the burden Of
absorbing this loan.
The banks of the country must keep
their funds available for the business
men, in order that they may continue
along normal lines. If the money of
the banks is tied up, interest rates will
have to be raised, thus seriously Grip
ping business of every size.
We can't say, "Let the banks do
it." Private Kelly didn't say, "Hey,
you fellows over there cleaning out
that trench-come over here and take
these eight prisoners think we done
enough for one day..
It is your individual responsibility
to subscribe to the Victory Liberty
Loan. There IS no sidetracking on the
line of clear duty.

Proverbial Lamb Becomes
Goat AS Red Cross Chap
ter Far Exceeds Three
Bags Full".
TWO TONS or CLOTHING
Two Hundred Bags Of Wool and Cotton
Garments Are Sent TO the Poverty
Stricken Refugees in War
Torn Europe.

That "Baa-baa- Black Sheep" of the
nursery rhyme has been put to shame
by the Red Cross Chapter of Kenosha.
Whereas he had only "three bags full"
of the much-desired wool the local re-
lief association has recently shipped
two hundred bags full Of approximate
~ the same commodity to the poverty
stricken refugees of Belgium, France,
Poland Montenegro, Italy, Serbia and
Palestine.
The record-brealing shipment-at
least it broke the black sleeps rec
ord-represented Kenosha's contribu-
ton the "Old Clothes Drive' begun
on ST. Patrick g Day and concluded
with a grand flourish on last Wednes-
day afternoon. The donations totaled
in the aggregate more than two tons
of clothing, which will mean literally
thousands Of tons Of warmth, comfort,
happiness and life, to the ragged regi-
mentals" and their equally ragged
wives and children in the countries that
bore the heaviest burden of the war.
Local Red Cross officials are shaking
hands with themselves on the success
Of the ''Old Clothes Drive" Although
the apportionment in tonnage was not
quite reached the quality of the contri-
buttons was such as to more than
counterbalance the trifling shortage in
amount.
incidentally, it was no small under
taking to receive, fold, pack and ship,
1000 pounds Of clothing. In this rather
prodigious task the chapter was great
ly helped by John I. Chester of the Al
len Tannery who detailed Archie Vena
of S15 Market street to sew up sacks
kindly donated to the Cause by the
Dunnebacke Company. Mr.. Vena prov
ed himself an artist at making one
sack hold as much as two and then sew
ing it up so neatly and tightly as to
make it fit exactly in the larger pack
ING boxes. Thanks to him the work Of
shipment was made much more rapid
and much more efficient than would
have been possible with the work Of
efmere women even Red Gross pa
triots.
Other Kenoshans deserving Of special
communication in connection with the
drive are the Rev. j. j. Conway and
his troop of Boy Scouts, who establish
ed subsidiary station at the st.
james school and volunteered their SER
vices as deliveryboys and collectors.
Everyone worked splendidly, =
Miss Marie Farley said this morning,
in comment on the drive. "The wo-
men in charge Of the various sub-sta-
tions were regular dynamos Of energy,
the volunteer packers at headquarters
belonged to the same dynamic class,
and Just everybody who had anything
at all to do with the drive did much
more than was expected Of them. So,
even if we didn 1t get quite as much as
we did last year, we feel as if what
we did get was Of better quality and
that the whole thing has generated new
enthusiasm for the chapter and its
postwar work y
The latter includes-"lest We for
et''-the knitting Of kiddisweat-
ers 81 one little item of clothing strange
~ lacking in the 200 "bags full' that
went to the war-torn countries of west
ern and southern Europe.
