One of the largest shoe concerns in
the world sells to the small country
stores by what they call the silent sales
man. That Is, they pack q trunk of
shoes and send them to one store, where
the buyer picks out what he wants.
After he has done this he packs up the
shoes and sends them on to the next
small town as desired by the makers.
Some shoe manufacturers are reducing
the. amount Of samples their statesmen
carry, supplying them instead with q
small representative line of shoes, the
rest of the line being rssrssented by

bears Allied by G0mpers
The, bears were given al uLexpected
opening yesterday when Mr.. Gompers's
telegram to the President, who had
started on his tour of the country in
behalf Of the peace treaty, was pub
lished. In nutshell it expressed fear
that the labor leaders could NOT hold
the radical elements in the unions in
check unless the President should re-
double his efforts to bring about a CON
ference between them and Judge Gary
pm the subject Of the steel situation be-
fore the union leaders should meet in
Washington next Tuesday.
Why this sudden talk about "bru-
tality," ''thuggery" and awful sit
uation" in steel labor circles, when the
President had just left the capital with
the understanding, which the country
Shared with him, that the executive
eommittee felt II could promise the
auiescenee of labor until the govern
iment could show what it might accom-
Dlish In the way of reducing prices and
at the conference on October 6 estab-
lish better working basis in the wags
matter?
II was a disquieting mystery despite
lfhe relative equanimity with which the
possible steel strike has been viewed.

LANSING URGES
RAISING OF FUNDS FOR EAST


There seems to be an urgent need
for funds with which to care for the
starving and freezing of the far East
The following cablegram has just been
sent by Robert Lansing, Secretary Of

the need:
For Gods Sake raise all money you
can. Conditions indescribable, Poland
Lithuania. One million people perish
ing from hunger and cold. Death rate
ten per cent. Soup kitchens and
asylums for aged and children are
closed for lack Of funds. Children can
not attend school on account OF ex-
treme weakness and lack Of clothing.
An unexampled catastrophe faces the

War Mothers of Wisconsin
Continue Their Efforts To
Secure Passage of Soldier
Bonus Bill.
FEAR FOR The MEASURE
In New Appeal Mothers Point Out
THAT Bill win Be Killed BY Apathy Of
Badgers Unless Something Is Done
Kenosha Mothers Expect TO Help

The second appeal from the War
Mothers of Wisconsin to secure a
favorable vote on the soldier bonus
bin when it is referred to the people
of Wisconsin in the special election to
be held on Tuesday, September the
second, was received in Kenosha today
1t Is the only evidence that has been
shown of any interest in the election
and the mothers appeal to the voters
of Kenosha and Kenosha county to-
wake up' and see to it that Wiscon-
sin does not seem to be ungrateful to
those who fought for the state. Poll
ticians all over the country are watch
ing the fight which the women are wag
ing for the soldier bill. 1T is the first
political campaign ever conducted ex-
cnsively by women in the state and
politicians say that the result will clear
" demonstrate whether OF not the wom-
en- folk have any influence at the polls.
The women are waging an heroic
campaign, one betting the spirit of
the mothers of the boys who whipped
the Germans, and they are slowly but
surely lining up the voters in favor Of
the bonus. Nothing has been left un-
done by the women workers. Pastors,
bankers and practically every trade and
profession have been circularized.
Personal letters have been written to
| the pastors of every church - the state,
asking for sermons in favor of the
bonus. To the bankers it has been
pointed out that the granting Of the
bonus will result in the opening Of
thousands of new accounts
In addition to this appeal, the War
Mothers have not forgotten to empha-
size the fact that many Of the men who
stayed at home in safety during the
war benefited financially while the
service men returned at distinct dis
advantage, and the ten dollars month
bonus is little enough appreciation for
q great, state to show the men who
fought for its honor and glory.
Though many were in doubt, whether
or not the bonus bill would be endorsed
BY the voters, the work of the War
Mothers has practically assured the
passage of the bill.

Many KenOsha Methodists
Will Attend Annual Con-
ference of Methodists
Next Week.
LOCAL PASTORS TO RETURN
No Change Is Expected In Local Pulpits
AS Result of Annual Conference.-The
Name Delegates To Great Church
Meeting At DesNoines.

Many Kenosha people will 60 to Wau-
kesha next week to attend the annual
sessions of the Wisconsin Conference
of the Methodist Church and it is ex-
pected that the meeting will be one of
the most notable gatherings Of Wiscon-
sin Methodism ever held. Four hun
dred delegates from the clergy and lay
members Of tie church are expected to
attend the conference. Bishop G. B.
Mitchell Of st. Paul will preside and
he will make the annual appointments
at the conclusion Of the conference
The meetings Of the conference will be
held at the great stock pavilion at
Waukesha as The Waukesha church was
damaged by fire last spring and the
work of rebuilding has not as yet been
completed.
1t is not expected that there will be
any considerable changes in the min
listers serving the churches of the de-
nomination in Kenosha county. The
Rev. Q. w. Taylor who has had most
successful year as pastor of Park Ave
nue. M r. Church, will undoubtedly be
re-appointed as pastor of the church
for the coming year. Members of the
Park Avenue congregation are unani-
nous for his return and no suggestion
Of o change has been made.
The meeting at Waukesha gathers in
terest on account Of the fact that dele
gates will be elected to the General
Conference to be held next year The
General Conference meets at Des Moines
and It is expected that a large repre-
sentation from the Wisconsin confer
ence will be provided for.

COMMITTEE MEETS TODAY.
First Business Session of the Girls Dt
vision of the w. G. C. s. Presided
Over by New Director.

At the first general meeting of the
executive committee of the Girls, Divi-
sion of the War Camp Community Serv-
ice, Miss Allison spoke briefly of the
plans of the league fer the coming sea
son. She also explained in part some
of the things War Camp stands for,
what the people get out of it, who are
eligible for membership and of the ac-
tivities in other cities.
"The Community Service league is a
national movement for women and
girls, said Miss Allison this afternoon.
fThe league has already an enrolment
of over one million women and girls.
It's object is to federate existing clubs
and to create new groups where neees-
sary, to bring women and girls a pro-
gram which will develope mutual
helpfulness TO themselves and to their
communities, and to direct the use of
leisure time along social, recreational,
and educational lines. What we get
out of it, depends like everything else
on what we put into it. The women all
over the country have shown excellent
team work in patriotic service. Out of
that will doubtless come a, peace time
patriotism, a new sense of citizenship,
real value Of worth while things and
a desire for service. Local organiza-
tions or clubs interested in work for
the benefit Of the girls should have
share in the duties. A program of ae-
tivities will be arranged soon and will
be given later to the press. We are
hoping to have an active year, provfd-
ing all units formerly enrolled will as
sist the director of Girls Work in Ke-
nosha.
The club rooms over the Merchants
and Savings Bank are open and all
girls are urged to come and take ad.
vantage of the conveniences offered
them. Miss Allison is anxious to have
the girls drop in"
In short, concluded Miss Allison,
these club rooms should. mean to the
girls what the Army and Navy Club
means to the boys "
The remainder Of the afternoon was
given over to the discussion of activi-
ties planned FOR the coming year
