strong Of Racine Praises Kenosha
Lodge Hundreds March In Parade.

Kenosha was the mecca for the
Eagles Of southern Wisconsin on Sun
day when the Kenosha Aerie celebrated
at the Eagles Home on Wisconsin
street, the fourteenth anniversary of
the organization Of the order in this
city. Hundreds Of visiting Eagles with
the majority of the members of the
local aerie, filed the home and helped
pay honor to the Eagles who had march.
ed away to war by helping to dedicate
the service flag Of the lodge.
The celebration started at one 'clock
when the Kenosha Eagles met the Ra-
cine degree team at the Chicago, North
Shore and Milwaukee Electric Station
and escorted them to the club rooms
The parade, which was one Of the most
notable fraternal demonstrations ever
seen in Kenosha, was headed by Mayor
Armstrong of Racine, and Mayor
Joachim of Kenosha. A feature Of the
parade was the appearance Of the Ra-
cine degree team in the costume of the
East and attended by members Of the
teams Of Kenosha. The SINCE Band was
also in the line and furnished excellent
music for the parade.
At the Eagles Home, the program
started with the initiation Of large
class of candidates, the work being ex-
emplified by the Racine Degree staff.
Prominent among the addresses which
followed was that Of Judge George w.
Taylor, who in dedicating the service
flag OF the order, paid high praise to
the patriotism of the one hundred and
two Eagles who had answered the call
to the colors. He mentioned especially
the names Of Privates Charles Chris
tiansen and Charles Langenbach, the
two who are listed among those "who
come not back, and whose supreme
sacrifice would ever be an honor to the
Kenosha Aerie.
Mayor Armstrong Of Racine, in the
anniversary address, Landed the Keno
sha Eagles for the spirit Of enterprise
and progress which had made them
known throughout the state. He urged
all Eagles to stand hereafter for the
principles of Americanism which DOM
mated the order and denounced strong
ly all tendencies towards Bolshevism
which might arise in America to under
mine such orders. Grand Warden s. P.
Weeks Of Oshkosh, was present at the
gathering and in a short address COM
plimented the Kenosha lodge on their
splendid war record and upon their hos
at the Sunday gathering.
Following the program a delightful
luncheon was served by the Kenosha
lodge and a social gathering held the
visitors and local Eagles alike at the
club until late hour. This evening
the annual anniversary dance Of the
Kenosha Aerie will finish the celebra-
ton at the Eagles Home.

WIDE APPEAL IN
'KORAL KONCERT'
Varied Program Will Be
Given By Kenosha Kom-
munity Korus At the
Virginian Theater.
SOMETHING FOR EVERY ONE
Bill For Tuesday Evenings Recital
will Feature Popular Songs, Semi
Classical Airs and Group Of
"Old Malodies''.

| IF anyone has any doubts as to the
kind and quality Of the music on the
bin of fare at the Kenosha Kommunity
Koncert tomorrow night at the Vir-
ginian Theatre, casual glance at the
appended program will help dispel those
doubts because it has been arranged
with the thought in mind that there are
many music lovers here in Kenosha who
would enjoy numbers full of melody,
rythmn, "pep', and "go'', and still
have what is called good music along
with the rest. IF anyone attends the
concert and finds not a single number
on the program that they really enjoyed
then there is something wrong with
them, or they are impossible please.
The first group of songs are ballads
that are enjoying favor with the pop
ular audiences today, and are being
sung on every provocation or lack of it.
They are "Mary'', and beautiful
Ohio''. John Alden Carpenters fine
song of "The Home Road, with its
fine swing and melody and touch of
the popular "Tipperary" tune is billed
along with patriotic parody Of words
on the tune Of ssThe Battle Hymn Of
the Republic". Both are particularly
appropriate at this time Of home-com-
ings and the ending of Kaiser Bill.
Popular oratorio, operetta, and can
tata excerpts comprise the second
grouping. 30 Gladstone Light from
Arthur Sullivan g "Golden Legend" is
an evening hymn to the sunset and of
praise to the Almighty. Sullivan has
always been popular as the writer of
the stMikado'', "Pinafore" and other
operettas, also cantatas, ballads and
songs, including the ever-popular Lost
Chord'.
"The italian Street Song" from
"Naughty Marietta viii be familiar
to many Victrola owners. It is cap
tivating mandolin song sung with the
chorus and brilliant soprano obligato
which win be sung by Miss Harriet
Lewis on this occasion. It has " ling
zing" to it and a captivating swinging
melody, with some fire climaxes in it

this group. 1t is one of the most at
traetive and popular patriotic paeans
that was ever written. It literally
sings itself and makes one glad to be
alive and above all, proud to be an
American. This is score of broad

which goes up to make up Yanksl
Miss Edna Falk, one of our popular
young contraltos, win sing group of
solos especially selected and prepared
for this concert. Especially notable are
her Sailer's sBurst Of Melody (The
Month of May is Princess charming)
and Salter's "Cry of Rachel.
The program will be closed with
group of old southern melodies which
have become endeared to our hearts by
long and familiar associations.
