want to know why it was warm and
sunny, you'll have to ask Mr.. Sun
don't know him well enough for that
He's to high above me to be on ex.
actly the same footing as / am"
81 didn't know the sun had feet"
said Billy.
"He hasn't" said Bard. 'That's
why can't walk around and chat with
him."
81 don't suppose can, either" said
Billy.
"What makes you so cross and SC
curious about the May day partyl'
asked Bard.
Because some children were talk.
ing about US to the keeper and look.
ing at me especially. The keeper
was telling them that I was q very
fine animal, and very rare, when they
saw the May day parade, and they hur
ried away and haven't come back
sincei It's enough to make buffalo
mad"
"oh, I see" said Bard you're jeaE
ous."
Perhaps" said Billy. "But dc
wish when they had those parades
and parties with ell those ribbons and
bands and costumes they'd stay away
from the zoo, for we naturally lose
lot Of attention that way, and IL we
don't know about such parties we don't
feel badly.
Mustn't be jealous" said Bard. 1--WE
can't have ribbons and bandS-and the
children only have these parties at this
time of year-whereas they can have
us all the year to gaze upon whether II
is May or November or january"
So Billy felt happier, and the chill
dren still talked happily Of Sbeir sue

musician and now Chief Signal officer
aboard the super-dreadnaught, Okla
homa, is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ches-
ter d. Barnes of Prairie avenue and
he will remain in Kenosha for his ff-
teen days furlough. Lieutenant Pendill
had the rare experience Of being part
OF the men who were welcomed home
by the vast crowds of New York peo-
pie when the Grand Review of the
American fleet returning from war
waters took place on last Thursday. He
slipped away from the big celebration
just as soon as possible and hurried
out to Kenosha to spend his fuelough
before returning to the navy and off to
sea again. Lieutenant Pendill has been
with his ship in Irish waters for sew
eral months. The Oklahoma was one of
the members of the American fleet
which escorted the President into the
harbor at Brest and after the cere-
monies there it turned about an sailed
for the shores of the home land to
have part in the grand naval review.
Scout A. T. Pendill, brother of the
Lieutenant who has just passed his ex-
aminations at Great Lakes and is await

Annual Banquet of the
American Brass Company
Given at the Elks Club
on Saturday Evening.
AT end OF PROSPEROUS YEAR
A. Clark Judd Presides and Many Well
Known Members of the Official
Family Of the Company Re-
spond to Toasts During Evening.

The rare good fellowship and CO.
operation which has been featured at
the plant of the American Brass Com
pany found new expression on Sat
urday evening when the annual ban
quet of the company was held at the
Elks Club.
Covers were laid for more than two
hundred guests and General Manager
George H. Allen sat at the head of
the table and about him were all of the
men in executive positions in the plant
There was dominant note of pride
III the dinner over the fact that the
Zig Kenosha plant of the American
Brass Company had during the past two
strenuous years met every demand
that has been made upon it to aid the
government at war. There was an ex-
pressed feeling Of thankfulness on the
part Of the officials of the company to
the men who had made such a splendid
record possible. Coupled with the con-
CALCULATIONS over the success of the
former year was decidedly confident
prediction for the future of the great
Kenosha plant.
The dinner was served at eight
o clock in the main hall of the Elks
Club. During the dinner music was
furnished by an orchestra under the
direction Of Fred Smith. 1t was an
eight course turkey dinner followed
by an informal smoker and social.
After dinner was over A Clark Judd,
presided as POSTMASTER and there were
short responses by General Manager Al
len, II. G. Beecher, Marvin Moss, A.
II. Quigley, Raymond Bassett, Giles M.
Fritsch and Charles f. Craig. Tt may
have been more or less "shop talk y
but it proved of greatest interest to the
guests at the dinner.
After the short program of toasts was
over there was further entertainment
furnished be Benson entertainers from
Chicago. There was q lot of merry
community singing
The year has been one Of the most
prosperous in the history of the Keno
sha branch Of the American Brass Com
pany. The success of the work of the
plant has reflected great credit on the
management. Tie year has brought
large increases in the output and in the
equipment of the plant and it is today
considered one Of the model brass work
ing plants of the country.
The annual round up of the Brass
Company is always most interesting
sacial event and the one this year was
no exception to the rule.

Annual Charity Ball of the
Elks to Be Held on the
Evening of Jan. 22nd
Will Be Exclusive.
DUKE SMITH TO BRING MUSIC
Plans Announced Today Declare That
the Charity Ball Will Be Notable
Function of the Winter in This
Section of Wisconsin.

The annual Charity Ball of the Ke-
nosha Lodge is going to be little ex-
elusive this year and the attendance
is to be limited to three hundred
couples. The formal notice of the big
annual social event was sent out to
the members of the lodge by the chair
man of the committee this morning.
The date is set for January 22nd and
the dance will be- the one big social
event in connection with the ceremonies
marking the dedication Of the new club
home. With the view of making the
crowd just the right size for enter
! tainment in the big hall the number of
tickets to be sold has been limited
to the three hundred mark but pro-
visions will be made 70 take care of
the usual number of extra ladies.
Duke Smith Of Chicago will have
charge Of the music and it is planned
to have many features in connection
with the musical numbers arranged for
the evening. The tickets for the
dance this year will be five dollars and
a charge Of two dollars will be made
for extra lady guests
Chairman Joseph G. Rhode is plan
ming to make the dance the most not
able social event in the history of the
city. Dancing will begin at nine
clock and continue until early morn
ing and starting at eleven o'clock din
ner will be served in the main dining
room and other dining rooms Of the
building. The committee is hopeful
that the big west dining room will be
ready for use on the night Of the Char
Iity Ball.
The tickets for the dance are to be
offered first to the members of the or
ganization and they will be on sale ex-
clusiyely to the members up to and il
GLIDING January 10TH After that time
all tickets which remain unsold will be
offered to the general public subject
to the usual restrictions placed on the
Elks Charity Ball.
That the party will be one of the
really big social events of the winter
for this section Of the state is shown
by the fact that the committee has al
ready received applications for tickets
from members of the Racine and Mil
waukee lodges and it is expected that
a large delegation will come from both
cities to attend the party.
Myron FL. Hale has been named as
chairman of the committee in charge
of the refreshments for the evening and
r. B. Whitaker is chairman Of the com
mittee in charge of the sale of tickets.
Other members of the committee in
lclude: Clarence Hawley, Marvin Moss,
John Schmitt, Roy Todd, Robert Cros-
set, Roy Blair, Ned Meers, Ed. Reitzel,
Ed. Higgins, Jay Glerum, G. Sullivan,
| J. Blair, A. Schneider, Harold Wells,

LAST CALL MADE FOR
WAR STAMP PLEDGES
People Must Make Their Purchases This
Evening or on Tuesday or City Will
Miss Mark Set

u41SS N1dIh Oct.
IF you want to save your own honor
and the honor of Kenosha you must
keep your pledge to buy War Savings
Stamps either today or tomorrow. These
two days remain for the clean up of
the sale of the 1913 stamps and at
midnight Tuesday night the green War
Savings Stamps will be off the mar
ket. The failure of Kenosha to meet
it IS full quota is in no way failure
of the members of the committee In
charge of the sale. This committee Sc
cured pledges to the total amount as
signed to Kenosha by the Secretary Of
the Treasure and in addition the COM
mittee has sold more than 100000
worth of the stamps. The failure Of
Kenosha to reach the mark set is going
TIC be the failure Of its individual citi-
zens. There was an active demand for
the stamps today and scores of people
were filing up the cards so as to con-
vert them into the hundred dollar baby
bonds. The stamps may still be
bought at banks of the city or at the
post office and they are on sale in scores
Of stores and offices. The special ap-
peal has been made to all subscribers to
make good their pledges today.
The new 1919 War Savings Stamps
will be placed on sale on Wednesday
but as yet the quota for Kenosha has
not been announced. $4,000 worth
of the new stamps have been sent to
the local post Office.

Society and Club Life.
Red Cross Fire

Judging by their mis-statements,
either malicious or made through ig-
norance, some Of the Chicago papers
are just as pro-German as Bernsdorf
or Dernberg could wish them to be.
One Chicago paper Of Sunday carried
on article entitled Stack Your Nee
dles,v and contained the misinforma-
ton that there were ten millions of
sweaters and other articles accumulated
somewhere for the soldiers and that
there was 70 more use for the Red
Cross workers to continue to knit.
This story caused the local Red Cross
chapter a good deal Of trouble from
the fact hat it had to get into touch
with the headquarters Of Central Divi-
sion this morning and find out the true
facts in the case. The secretary of the
Kenosha chapter Of the Red Cross in a
telephone conversation with the Gen.
trail Division this morning ascertained
that the story carried by this Chicago
paper had no bearing whatever on this
division 1t may be true as far as the
point is concerned from which the story
was dated, but the Central Division is
still behind in it's quota of knitted ar
ticles and the section of the army it is
supplying is greatly in need Of the
garments. AS far as Kenosha is con-
cerned there can be no stacking of
the needles for some time to come.
More and more workers are needed to
get out what is already on hand.
+ + r
The new sock yarn is here and ready
to make into q thousand pairs, per
quota. The troubles will begin now
for the knitting committee because of
the short feet and mis-mated feet. The
Central Division viii not accept socks
shorter than 1919 inches 1t is hoped
the chairmen from the different
branches and units will send for yarn
according to the number Of knitters
they can depend upon. The time limit
ON the sock yarn is two weeks.
In regard to the seventeen sweaters
noted as being short in the News of a
few evenings ago what was intended
to be said was that these seventeen
sweaters have been overdue for more
than three weeks. Besides these there
are forty or fifty sweaters that are
overdue from a few days to q week
and these are holding the committee
back. The committee can not pack
its quota and make its shipments until
the full quota is in and the persons
who have these sweaters are urgently
requested to finish them and bring
them in. You are not only lying down
on the job yourselves but you are hold
ing back the shipment of the articles
made by persons more prompt than
yourselves.
