Directors of Retailers Vote
To Carry Two Vaudeville
Sketches With Them On
the Booster Trip.
BACK TRACTOR EXHIBITION
Vote Unanimously To Boost Tractor
Exhibition To Be Held In Kenosha
County Oct. 9tl-set October End AS
Date For Big Booster Trip.

GA bigger and better booster trip
was the slogan adopted Tuesday even
ing by the directors Of the Kenosha
Retailers Association and the mem
bers of the committees in charge of
the annual tour of the county at the
joint meeting held in the offices of the
association in the Chamber of Com
MERGE building. AS an example of how
the new slogan will be put into effect
! it was voted unanimously that the Ke-
nosha boosters would carry with them
on this trip on October the End, two
vaudeville acts to amuse the crowds
that always greet the merchants as
they go from one end Of the county to
the other.
OF course the "new wrinkle'' will
not in the least interfere with the Gus
tomary features of the Booster Day
program. Secretary Maddox will be
in charge of his usual galaxy of speak
ers to take the good wishes Of the mer-
chants Of Kenosha to the people of the
county and all of the dealers of Ke-
nosha are planning on specialties for
the trip as they have had in years past.
Inquiries from the county show that
there is great deal of interest be-
| ing manifested in the county already
and that if good weather greets the
caravan on October the second there
will be big crowds to greet the mer-
chants at every cross roads.
1t was definitely decided that the
Booster Trip will be held on Thursday
October the End. The, exact route to be
taken has not yet been decided upon
but it will carry the merchants and
their fun makers to every corner of the
county,
At the meeting last night the direc-
tors also voted to cooperate in every
way with County Agent Griffith Rich
ards in promoting the big tractor dem
lnstration which is to be held in Ke-
nosha county near Paddock IS Lake on
Thursday, October the 9th. Letters
nave been received from more than
twenty companies that they will show
tractors at this exhibition and it is be-
lleved that at least 5000 farmers from
Kenosha and neighboring counties will
attend the demonstration. The Keno
sha merchants are also planning to
take part IN making the affair one of
the most successful that has ever been
staged in the county.
The directors will make their report
at the next regular meeting of the Re-
tailers to be held on Wednesday even
ing, September 10th, when the plans
adopted last night will be fully drawn
| up by the dealers.

FAVORED THE SOLDIER BONUS
Attendants at the WalIg Martins Out
ing Take Straw Vote in Favor of
Soldier Bonus Bill.

Those who attended the annual out
ing of the Wallig- Martin families held
at Hannah s Grove anticipated the vote
on the soldier bonus throughout the
Badger State when a straw vote Of the
attendants at the outing showed that
they were unanimously in favor OF
helping those who defended the flag.
The picnic was the most successful
which has been held by the families in
recent years.
One of the most interesting parts of
the program were the musical numbers
by Walter Earl and Ernest Robinson,
the former having just returned from
"over there where he served for more
than sixteen months. The West Side
Stringed Quartette also gave several Sc
lections which won the approval of all
and were followed by several excellent
Swiss yodeling lullabies by Ernest Rob
inson.
Athletics were not forgotten and in
the ball game between the Bachelors
and the Benedicts, the single men won
out 10 to under the captaincy of Aid
erman Martin, while Alderman Weiss
led the married men. Charles Wallig,
and Daniel Ryan were the orators for
the occasion and both talked with fer
vor on the soldier bonus bill. An I'M
expected feature of the program occur
red when goat walked into the field
of the picnickers but Privates Ham
mond and William Earl promptly found
way out for it by naming it Kaiser
Billo and leading it out just as they
helped to do with the German emperor
on the other side of the Atlantic.
The great success of the outing was
largely due to the enthusiasm and eff
forts of Michael Bptera and Richard
HOLMAN, the members Of the commit
tee who planned the outing.

Dollars To Fund For st. Gather
ines - Matt shiel Describes
Life Out There.

AS recognition of his service to his
country as Captain of Infantry along
the firing line in France as well as Of
his service to his Church in raising more
than fifty thousand dollars for the pur-
chase of st. GATHERINGS Memorial
Hospital in Kenosha, Captain Edward
Dayton was elected Grand Knight of
The local Council Of the Knights Of
Columbus in an inspiring meeting held
at X. Of G. hall shortly after eight
o'clock on Tuesday evening Other of
Ulcers chosen at the gathering included
Deputy Grand knight, Walter Cumis-
key; Chancellor, Phillip Bleichcr; FL
nancial Secretary, James Crossin; Re
corder, Elmer Smith; Advocate, Edward
r. Higgins; Warden, Ben Lcutritz; In
side Guard, James v. Murray; Outside
Guard, Matt Shiel; Trustees, John B.
Mayer and Christopher Martin.
The election followed one of ths most
Impressive sessions in the history OF
The local Council. Grand Knight John
Zcas presided at the ceremonies ana
gave an appropriate dignity to the vari-
out proceedings of the evening. The
speaker for the occasion included Matt
Shiel and Captain Dayton.
The former, who has only recently re.
turued, from *. of G. service in France
spoke briefly but Illuminating of his
experience with the colors. He insisted
thai tie time allowed him at the gath
ering was so short as to permit only a
sketchy account Of his adventures with
the dough-boys going in, following on,
or coming back from the field of honor
known as No Man STAND. This was
given very graphically with a Few bold
strokes that completely reconstructed
the life and atmosphere Of trench and
camp for even civilians who had never
seen it or lived it as had the speaker
and many Of hif hearers. In conalnd
ing Ais outlintar talk Mr.. Shicl said
that there was much more which he
might say Of the work Of the order in
France and promised to say it at a SER
vice-men g meeting of the Council
scheduled for early October.
Captain Dayton's talk was largely a
plea for support of st. Catherine IS hos
pital. That it was effective, as supple
mented by speeches from other officials
of the order, is attested by the fact
that more than seven hundred dollars
were subscribed during the meeting to
"help the Sisters help the sick 1t
was said this morning that this contri-
button would pass the thousand mark
before the end Of the week and that the
money would be turned over to the Do
mlnican Sisters as soon as it could be
collected and properly recorded. 1t will
be used by them either for new equip
ment at the old Pennoyer or to defray
the expenses of moving from the Madi-
son house to the Memorial Hospital.
Following the announcement Of the
installation meeting, which will be
held within the next month, the ses-
sion concluded with obetter-than-
ever" luncheon and several offerings in
Scotch and Irish costumes by the Ben
son entertainers of Chicago. The acts
were in keeping with the high standard
always maintained by these artists.

Industry says that factory workers i'm
that line are not more than SO per
cent efficient.
Increased production is the crying
need of the hour. For a while en-
1argernent of factories and great ex-
pansion Of machinery is not the thing
to solve the problem. But skilled
hands and trained minds directing
them can increase production without
expense and Without lengthening the
hour of labor.
Today there are 800 training de-
partments in American factories, and
their number is steadily increasing. In
these training schools workers are
made really efficient. Their increased
skill gives them greater satisfaction in
their work. Acquired skill in one
line, too, opens the way to acquire
skill in others as well, and SO enlarges
the field of progress Skill brings an
increased wage to the worker, and in
creased product to the manufacturer
and to the public, which needs it most
OF all.

TRAINING FOR SKILL.

Foresighted Employment service
workers and factory managers, are
now seeking to speed up production
by producing skilled workers. Ameri-
ca. has been paying too much atten-
ton to perfecting machinery. they tell
us, and has allowed human machinery
or fingers to remain unframed.
A. representative of the U. S. EN-
ployment Service gave these striking
statistics recently: In certain small
New England district there are 5000
fdie mechanics. In that same locality
the railroads want 500 skilled locomo-
tive repairmen. Out of that 5000
only 210 men can be recommended
as having sufficient skill for the work
Many boilermakers are wanted, but
only one man in ten applying for such
work is really skilled. They are cal
most good enough, but just miss TT
