Thru the night of inky darkness
Where we dared not have a light,
And we dared not even smoke a
cigerette,
For the Boch above is flying
And with eagle eye is spying
And we couldn't take a chance
with him you bet.
Tho the road is full of shell holes
And the rain in torrents falls.
And the night is inky black, it's all
the same
For the goods we must deliver
DER valley, Hill or river
For to fail, would be eternal, burn
shame.
For the rifle and the cannon
Must be fed, as well as men
They must have their iron rations,
quick and sure,
And on us their life depended
So twas up to us to send it
That the toll and grief of battle
they endure.
From yerdun and Chaleau Thierry
To the last day of the war,
We have done our little bit. as well
we might,
Where the fires of HELL we're
ragang
While the Devil, they were caging.
We were. there, to keep our own
fires burning bright.
And how well we've done our duty.
We will never need to tell.
For the Ammunition n'er was
known to fail,
When the Boches were retreating
After getting ''Beacoup Beating"
We were camping every night up
on his trail.
Now we've followed Heinie here,
To the land of wine and beer
And we're stopping here to have a
little time,
If you'd know. how long we're in
it,
You can tell, right to the minute,

Rhine"

NEW HONOR FOR RED CROSS.
Letter Received by Mrs. Otto Haubrich
Is Added Proof of ohe Efficiency
of Local Chapter.

One of the most difficult tasks of the
postwar period has been the re-opening
Of communication with relatives and
friends in the erstwhile belligerent
countries. That the local Red Cross
chapter solved the problem, despite it's
difficulties, is evidenced by letter re-
eeived late last week by Mrs. Otto
Haubrich Of 7O1 Middle street.
On May LIST Mrs. Haubrich came to
the Red Cross rooms with a letter for
transmission to Gott1ieb Gerrgi, Zwi-
lSau, Sachsen. It was mailed through
Red Cross channels On August 21st'
Mrs. Haubrlch received reply, which
said that the letter had reached Zwikau
on June 30th and that the answer had
been despatched at once. The compar-
atively short time required for the cor
respondence with friends in one,time
hostile country proves conclusively that
Red Cross mail service, as carried. on
by the local chapter was both reliable
and rapid.
The was is used advisedly. The
service has now been discontinued in
view Of the fact that the mails have re-
opened regular service with Germany
and private individuals can now send
communications as quickly al they can
be sent by the Red Cross chapter or
any other welfare agency.

county. Incidentally, not all of the
dances will be new. For the sake of
old-timers occasional waltzes and two
steps will be introduced along with the
fox-trots, tangoes and everything else

SELLS FIVE GENERATIONS.
Bryant Benson, Jr. Helps Henry G
Dodge to Establish Unique
Record in Salesmanship.

A few days ago Bryant Benson, Jr.,
walked into the Barden Store and
bought a lady's handkerchief from
Henry G. Dodge, veteran clerk for that
firm.
The casual observer would have said
he was merely buying birthday
present for his mother and would
have dismissed the affair as trifing
sale. In reality it was anything but
that. It established Mr.. Dodge's claim
to a unique record in clerkship mas
much as it made it possible for him to
say that he has sold merchandise to five
generations Of the same family.
The incidents in the chain of eircnm-
stances supporting Mr.. Dodge's claim
to distinction in the realm of salesman
ship involve the following sales:
In 1856 at White River Junction,
Vermont, be sold cloth for dress to
Hannah Coburn, a prominent young
woman Of that village. Some twenty
years later in the general store Of E. C.
Brown at Bristol, Wisconsin, he sold
similar materials to Mrs. Harriet Bacon,
the daughter Of Hannah Coburn. Still
later he frequently waited upon Mrs.
Bacon s son, W. G. Bacon, and his
daughter, Mrs. B. S. Benson, at various
stores in both Bristol and Kenosha. It
was Mrs. Benson's son, who made the
purchase at the Barden Store the other
day and SO completed Mr.. Dodge's sales
to five generations descended from the
friend of his youth, Hannah Coburn of
White River Junction.
And so it happened that most in
teresting story Of life and pioneering
lay behind the buying of lnilady's hand
kerchief by Master Bryant Benson.

FOOD HELD-UP
ANOTHER WEEK
Shipments of Surplus Food
Not To Be Made Until
Next Wednesday Chi
cago Announces.
JOB IS A RECORD TASK
Kenosha People TO Have Chance TO
Make Other Purchases of Government
Food Through Governments Retail
Store In Chicago Next Month.

People in Kenosha who had expected
to eat government bacon along with
fresh Kenosha county eggs on next
Sunday, are doomed to disappointment
for. the surplus food ordered by the peo-
pie of Kenosha is not going to arrive
this week. General Leroy T. Stewart,
in charge of the parcel post movement
Of food at the big Chicago warehouses
of the government, has sent notice that
the shipment of the surplus food can
not be started until next Wednesday.
The government has been flooded
with orders and the sorting and pack
ing of the supplies is going to take a
considerable time and the people of
Kenosha and other cities will just have
to wait until the government is able
to handle the great business it found
in its first venture into the mail order
line. 1t is declared, however, that
practically all orders accepted from
Kenosha will be filled and that allot-
ments have been preserved regardless
Of the demands made by other cities
Tor increased supplies OF the surplus
food products.
Kenosha may continue to buy food
from the government by parcel post
after September 25th, as announcement
is made that a great government parcel
post store will be opened in Chicago
and in this store the government will
offer for sale practically all Of the
kinds Of food products that were offer
ed in the recent sales and it is prob
able that many other products will be
offered. Kenosha patrons will be sup
piled from this Chicago store and prices
will be arranged so that the cost Of
delivery will not be so great as to make
purchases Improbable.

The mayor expressed the hope that
an early solution might be found out Of
the difficulty by the company applying
for franchise for the operation Of the
cars on the streets Of Kenosha and af-
ter consulting with the city attorney
and other attorneys who had been in
terested in the case he expressed the
opinion that the only way that the COM
pany could escape penalties of the Or
der of the court would be through Sc
curing franchise rights.

not take kindly to the order of the COM
pany to operate cars into Kenosha.
Many Of the property owners who had
been active in the battle centering
about the injunction, bombarded the
mayor on Tuesday night and this morn
ing demanding that he issue an order
to prevent the operation of the cars.
Others appealed to attorneys to secure
from Judge Belden a new restraining
order.
Early this afternoon Mayor Joachim
and City Attorney John G. Slater, ac-
companied by Clerk Of the Circuit
Court B. NJ. DeDiemar went to Racine
for conference with Judge Belden
and they took with them all of the
papers in the case with view of hav-
ing the judge give an informal opinion
as to what would be the best way out
Of the controversy.

to act in this NATTER declared the
mayor, in announcing that he had wired

up this matter for a few DAYS that
there will be a way ont of the difficult
les and / am convinced that any at
tempt to bull it through no matter
whether it is with the request of the
Chamber of Commerce or not will bring
a lot of trouble and hard feeling and
possibly make very improbable any fu-
ture settlement of the issue between
the company and the people of Milwau-
kee avenue / have talked the matter
over with attorneys and they are con-
vineed that the injunctional order is
just as binding today as the day it was
issued. To go in direct controversy to
this injunction does not appear to be
fair to the people interested. 1t has
been announced to me that these people
will promptly stop the operation of the
cars should they start running tomor-
row and I thought that it would be bet
ter to ask the company to withhold ac-
tivities until some really workable plan
had been provided. =
City Attorney Slater was Of the opin-
ion that the injunction was binding and
he so notified the mayor.

Thursday Closing To End
This Week According To
Action Of Retailers
On Thursday.
TALK ABOUT ZION ROADS.
Directors. Are Not Bit Backward In
Urging Some influence Be Brought To
Bear On Zion To Get Better Roads
Booster Day TO BE October End.

That the coming Thursday would be
the last Of the 'Close at Noon !"
Thursday until another summer rolls
around appears certain from the ac-
tion taken Tuesday night at the meet
ing of the directors Of the Kenosha
Retailers Association held in the Office
of the organization. The directors
were unanimous in deciding to push
the matter no farther and with the
agreement to keep the stores closed on
Thursday afternoon ending on this week
as the last Thursday in August, it seems
probable that the matter has gone
definitely into the discard. There will
not be meeting Of the Retailers until
September the tenth and it is not be-
lieved probable that after the question
has been dropped it will be re-
vived again.
While the Thursday closing PROPOSE
ton has been popular in Kenosha dur
ing the three summer months, there
seemed to be little support among the
directors for the plan of continuing
the practice throughout the winter.
They also showed that they did not for
the present favor plan of adopting
any other day for early closing for the
fall and winter months. In consider
ing the plans for next summer it was
brought out that Wednesday, the day
on which the stores at Racine close
at noon, might be more appropriate
for Kenosha than Thursday.
The directors Of the Retailers Asso-
citation also talked freely and frankly
in regard to the bad strip of road at
Zion," which has been an eye-sore in
the Kenosha-C Chicago motor route for
some time. The merchants, intend to
let the authorities at Zion City under
stand that their attitude towards the
proposition is not receiving favorable
comment in Kenosha. 1t was suggested
that it might be possible to reach the
officials of the city, who have stead
tasty refused to push any plan for
lettering the roads there, by striking
at the big trade which the Zion City
industries are doing with Kenosha and
Racine merchants. The question will
be reported TO the merchants at their
next regular meeting and united vigil
win probably be sent down to Zion
from the members. Should the mer-
chants be successful in getting any ac-
ton and they are hardly optimistic
enough to hope to succeed where so
many have failed-they believe that
they win be doing real service to
Kenosha motorists.
The directors also talked over plans
for the Booster Trip which will prob.
ably be held ON October 2, a week
earlier than originally planned. 1t is
expected that the 1919 trip will eclipse
all previous excursions of the mer-
chants as the committee in charge has
reported unprecedented interest in the
movement. The plans for Dollar Day
and for the Shop Early campaign were
also discussed and arrangements made
for definite action in regard to them
in a short time.
