~" FOR VICTORY IN NEW LOAN
Kenoshans Admire the First Posters
for the Liberty Loan, Which APP
pear Here this Morning.

"V is for Victory and for the
Victory Loan
Maybe that is not exactly the way it
used to read in the old primers but
that was the first thing that same to
the minds of scores Of Kenoshans this
morning when they saw the first posters
for the Victory Loan Drive.
It was a blue "V'', bordered in
white and set in field of red. That
was all - no printing but no one
needed to ask what it meant. 1t is the
forerunner of other posters which will
announce the dates for the drive and
which will appear in Kenosha soon.
The publicity committee was busy
this morning painting the town red,
white and blue with the brilliant and
attractive posters and many more will
be distributed before the end of the
week.

A WoULD-BE DERAUCHEE.
An Amateur Lady Killer Features
"Parlor, Bedroom and Bath,
Laugh Classic at the Rhode.

One Of those men "who are pure and
chaste - the purer the less chased
had his inning at the Rhode on Mon
day evening and made a big time hit
with an audience that crowded both the
main floor and the balcony Of Keno
sha's popular playhouse.
The production was gloom-chaser de
luxe. Even the horrors of war were
forgotten in the humor of lines and sit
uations that compelled laughter and
won whole oceans of applause. There
was not a dull moment in the play.
It started to move the moment the
curtain rose and it moved everyone
to hilarity by the time the end Of the
act was reached.
The parts were extremely well taken
especially the roles of the good little
man who wanted to be a bad little
hubby" and the "big" bad woman
vghe was viking tcv kelp him out if
he hadn It been such hopeless anna
teur.
The plot of the play concerned prin-
cipally a Tsvirtuous wife,, whose hus-
band was too virtuous'.. She was
constantly wishing that Minister Per-
kins' had more of the sfblue DEVIL in
him to make him more dashingly, dare
devilishly, attractive. 1Perkins' tried
to please her and in the process - it
was laughably painful all but had
himself shot for a heartless wretch
with no regard for another man s af-
finities.
The show proved to be one of the
real hits of the local season as was at
tested by the congratulations showered
upon Manager Rhode both Monday eve
ming and today as he went about his
business getting ready for "more of
the same0.

WAKE UP, KENosHAl

There ism It a closet in Kenosha
that can It produce enough to
keep at least one refugee in
Europe alive.
In the nation wide used cloth
ing Grive which is being conduct
ed this week by the American
Red Cross things Of little value
are asked for. There is, probably
not a person in the city who
not willing to contribute old
clothing.
This is not a matter Of ma
terial sacrifice. 1t is a question
of taking a little time. It is
really only matter Of getting
started. Start rummaging in the
closets, gathering together the
shoes and clothes and bedding
which will save the lives of the
refugees of France and Belgium,
of the Balkans and Poland and
Palestine. The closets and rag
bags are full Of things which
will be veritable treasurs to the
people of Europe.
Take your donations to the
nearest Red Cross station. It is a
small request. Yet it means life
itself to many people.

HER ONLY WAY.
Associated Charities Asks for Frrni-

Family Of Four Children.
Just a little outworn furniture will
help one Kenosha family keep the
Fwolf from the door,. IF you are
interested read the following and then

ciated Charities.
Several weeks ago a family IN Ke-
nosha lost its bread-winner when the
father died of influenza, leaving the
mother with four children to support
and with little to do it except deter
mination to keep the home going. She
had the furniture for the little home
and the few dollars in the savings ac-
count which are now almost gone. It is
impossible for her to leave the same
and work outside because of the four
children and she has finally struck up
on plan by which she can support
all if a little help is given now.
The mother is an excellent cook and
can secure enough boarders and room
ers to help her keep the home if Ke-
noshans viii furnish her spare rooms
with furniture from the attic. She
needs two single beds and bedding,
some curtains, a couple Of mirrors and
a chair or two.
The Kenosha Associated Charities
has thoroughly investigated the case
and is ready to assure anyone who can
help her that the gifts viii be very
timely and will be used proftably.
This, Miss Elizabeth Timme, secretary
of the Kenosha Charities, says is all
that will be necessary to keep this
family from being separated and be-
coming case for public help.
