Of Miss Fergus compositions.
Of Miss Fergus, Amy Leslie Of the
Chicago Daily News, says: ''Miss Fer
gus writes almost sensationally original
and choice etudes and fowery songs
with delicious Accomplishments especial
ly designed for the art of parlando
singing. And whilst most Of her songs
are too exalted in poesy and musicianly
endowment to be a tall appropriate for
regular vaudeville exploitation, still the
clever people who put over converse
tion rhythmically set to music could
find among the Fergus songs much
exquisite and humorous as well as
unique material"
No tickets have been printed for the
musicale but nominal charge of
twenty-five cents will be made at the
door in order that the expense incurred
in bringing these gifted artists to Ke-
nosha may be partially covered All
Kenosha music lovers are invited to

club, also announces that club members
who have not received their year books
may secure them at the door tonight.

viii Help Probation ofIicer.

A communication from the State
Council was read asking the Kenoshans
to cooperate in the constructive work
of the knights throughout Wisconsin
in cooperating with probation officers
of the state to protect the children of
the state from falling into misfortune.
It was pointed out that there were
in Kenosha many boys from the state
schools who needed this protection and
that the knights could aid materially
in furnishing this. The council voted
that committee should be named by
Grand Knight Edward Dayton who
would cooperate in every way with the
probation officer of the county in deal
ing with these cases.

Nine Thousand Kenoshans
Hear and Answer Third
Red Cross Roll
Call.
ONE or BEST IN The STATE
Kenosha Retains Place Among Leaders
Of StateA-Exact Total From Incom-
plete Returns Is s741, Which Tt Is
Thought Will Be Increased.

Nine thousand Kenoshans heard and
answered the third annual roll call of
the Red Cross which was staged in Ke-
nosha during Armistice week. This
was evidenced this morning when Miss
Marie Farley, secretary of the cam
paign committee, announced that prac-
tically complete returns from the drive
set the total for Kenosha and Kenosha
county at 8,741 with enough district
yet to be heard from to place it in the
nine thousand mark.
This record, while it did not reach
the 10000 mark originally set for the
campaign, will keep Kenosha as one Of
the leading cities Of Wisconsin in the
Red Gross work. Everywhere through
out the state the committees failed to
approximate their quotas and from re
ports from state headquarters, Kenosha
has done much better than the majority
of the cities of Wisconsin and of the
nation.

Life of Herzl
The purpose of the Study Circle of
the chapter is to delve into the lives
of the great Jewish historians, Zionist
promoters and like characters. Mrs. S.
GottEeb, who has charge of the re-
organized circle, started the course of
study with most interesting and in
strUctive lecture on Theodor Herzl, the
sponsor of Herzlian Zionism She COW
cred the life of this heroic man from
the time he first thought Of the complex
Jewish problem as brought forth in the
famous Dreyfus trial in Paris in 1895,
and which he attended as a news
paper correspondent.
The Jews in western Europe at that
time were fast taking up the reformed
faith or assimilating entirely while
those in Eastern Europe were being
harassed by prosecutions. He was a
man of prominence and when he deter.
mined that the only solution for the
problem was the founding of a home.
land in Palestine he set to work with
vim to accomplish this purpose
After many distressing experiences,
most of which were with the reformed
element of his own people, his dream
seemed to be coming true. However, he
died in 1904 when the first rosy dawn
was just appearing and was unable to
rejoice in the fact that Palestine is at
last to become an established home
land for his people.

musical life has been the outgrowth.

first sponsored it but with the expected

necessary to make new plans to enable
the work to go on, and the chorus feels
