BACCHUs HELPS CUPID.
Kenosha Man Declares That Wedding
Wine' Will be Gone IF He Waits
Five DAYS for License.

Bacchus and Cupid staged a partner
ship affair in Kenosha this morning. A
young Kenoshan applied at the office Of
the County Clerk and asked to be is
sued a marriage license Immediately
and said that he meant to be married
this evening and hat a wedding ban
quet would celebrate the nuptials.
Then came the discovery. County
Clerk Holderness courteously but firm
~ reminded him that he must wait at
least five days after the marriage IL
rense was issued before the ceremony
ceuld be performed and if he was to
get a Wisconsin license the banquet
would have to be postponed.
well, all the wedding wine will be
drunk by then, = responded Cupid s de-
voice. "No sir, can It wait. I IN go
ing to Waukegan on the next train -
"Just another instance OF how Cupid
is guiding the Kenosha couples to Illi-
nois to avoid the red tape of the Wis
eonsin law, y was all the comment that
the County Clerk had to make on the
incident.

NEED TONS OF CLOTHING.
Kenoshans Are Asked to Give Old Gar
ments. Tons of Them.-To Save
Thousands Of Lives.

Used clothing blankets, shoes, apparel
of every SORTS needed today in Eur
ope in large amounts and immediately
il thousands Of lives are to be saved.
The American Red Cross is trying to
meet this need by collecting the second
hand clothing which the American peo-
pie are discarding at the present time.
A mammoth collection of used clothing
will be conducted during which at least
10000 tons of garments will be gathered
up and sent abroad. The campaign
opened on Monday and will continue for
two weeks. Every man, woman and
child in Kenosha has something to CON
tribute.
Tt seems hard to imagine any sort Of
apparel that would not prove useful to
refugees and almost any kind Of gar
ment is a godsend. Yet there are a few
garments which will not do.
Ball dresses are the last thing needed
by heartsick mother returning to her
ruined hearth, but in campaigns for re-
lief garments they have been donated
generously. Other articles that have
been offered and which are of CORE
spending usefulness in the situation are
top hats; trimming Of women's hats,
umbrellas, parasols, she trees, feathers,
clocks and glassware.
What is needed, and needed with an
urgency that can hardly be exaggerated,
is a strongly made, everyday clothing
for men, women and children, the plain
er and more durable the better. Inner
and outer clothing for all sizes and ages,
and both sexes, is most acceptable and
if capable of being repaired need not
to be in perfect condition, for there
are thousands Of penniless women
abroad eager to do the necessary
sewing.

PRIVATE ROBERTS WRITES.
Has Considerable to Say About Con-
ditions in French
Camps.


In letter just received from Pri-
vate Edward Roberts, Battery F, 121st
Heavy Field Artillery, dated Gondre-
court, France, he sends the following
in which there is great deal of truth:
The Lord s Prayer Of Battery F.
121st T. A.
Our Father who art in Washington,
President be Thy name, Thy pay day Is
come.
Thy checks we sign in France as in
America.
Give us this day change of rations;
and forgive us our Awol's as we
forgive those that force them upon
us.
Lead US not into Germany but deliver
us from Europe, for Thine is the
power and the treasury and the
transportation home in 1920.
He further states that in his opinion
there are more boys dying on account
of the conditions OF the Camps and wea-
ther than there were in war times
at the front, and if Baker and few
more were over there now to see how
they wade around in mud that no time
would be lost in getting them home.
Private Roberts has just recently
joined his Battery, having been gassed
on November 18th. He was formerly
with the 32nd Division but is now at
tached to the 88th and declares that
the boys don't like it at all inasmuch
as they are obliged to wear the insignia
Of the 88th Ga four leaf clover), in
stead of the red arrow of the famous
32nd with which they fought.

juvenile jamborees the "eats' were
the chief diversion. They included the
inevitable "ice-cream and a birth

AT the Sign of the Shamrock
Kenohans Wear the Green Innumerabe Functions Comem
rating the Great Hibernian Holiday

They wore the green in Kenosha on
Monday evening and they weren It Sim
Feiners either. They were just plain
Americans caring little or nothing
about Home Rude or the fate of De-
Valera but great deal about "a little
bit of heaven to be derived from a
wholesome exemplifcation of the better
Irish spirit, characterized by 'eyes
that SMILE and lips that are vibrant
with sweet lifting laughter like some
faery song.
At Liberty Hall
The Victoria Club held its annual st.
Patrick's Day Dance at Liberty Hall
on Monday evening. While not pre-
tentious the affair was highly enjoy
able. Harps in shamrock green at
either end of the hall gave. the neces-
sary Irish touch to the decorations
and created an atmosphere of wit and
fantasy wholly appropriate to COM
memoration of the great Hibernian
holiday.
Excellent music was furnished by
the Virginian jazz Orchestra, an aggre-
cation that is rapidly becoming popu-
lar among discriminating "dawncers
in Kenosha.
The jewellers were made distinctive
by the wearin of the green. 5 With
some it was tiny shamrocks intertwined
with the ould clay pipes, with
others green carnations, while still
Others contented themselves with green
scarfs or sashes in the latest Partisan
modes. Everywhere there was the
charm of ould Erin freshness, life,
vivacity, and laughter.
Kenoshan Speaks at Beloit.
At Beloit on Monday evening a Ke-
noshan was the chief attraction at a
great Hibernian jamboree. E. T..
Q 'Brien spoke before the Shamrock
Club in that city and thrilled them with
his plea for Americanism in Ireland.
The Kenosha banker and orator urged
sanity in supporting the Irish cause
and cautioned his compatriots against
over-espousal of the Sim Fein cause,
which in its practices if not in its
principles is closely allied with Boil
shevism. Mr.. O'Brien was received
with great enthusiasm and was accorded
an Irish green, Shamrockian, ovation at
the conclusion of his speech.

Page the Eagles. Their first aerie
was not on the Emerald Isle but they
proved themselves high-fyers with a
touch of the ould green when they gave
"a Hibernian dance de luxe at Eagles
Rest on Monday evening.
The feature Of the party was the mu-
sic furnished by Johnson IS Jazz Orches-
ira. It had lit about it that made
it irresistible and strangely reminiscent
of Mccormack or the peerless Chauncey
Olcott. Especially popular among it's
offerings were "That johnson jazz,
"My Birch Canoe and YOU, "When
Irish Eyes are Smiling, and clever
dance adaptations Of "Macushla" and
"A Little Bit Of Heaven
