Agrarian Measure Threat

Washington. D. c., Aug. More
than a thousand Americans are
threatened with loss Of millions OF
dollars in investments by a new agra
rian law enacted by the congress of
Sonora Mex. at the direct instruc-
tons Of Gov. Gales.
Several American companies have
already filed complaints with the
state department against the opera
ton Of this law and other complaints
are in preparation. The department
is preparing representations to the
Carranza government against putting
the law into operation because Of in
justices this government contends il
works upon United States citizens
who have invested In Sonora agricul-
tural lands.
State to Pay With Bonds.
BY the terms Of the law it IS pro
vided that the state will pay for
lands appropriated with agrarian
bonds issued by the state. redeemable
at a time and manner to be stipulated
later.
The new constitution OF Mexico pro-
vides that the states shall issue agra
rian bonds under authority Of law
that has not yet been enacted by the
federal congress. The Americans point
out that these bonds are Of no value
and, inasmuch as the national govern
ment OF Mexico has not paid the in
terest on its bonds since 1913, there
is no Indication mat the agrarian
bonds will be of any value.
The alternative for the American
holders Of these lands Is TO sell them
TO Mexicans and take pay IN 20 annual
instruments Of Mexican money. Any
dispute is to be left in the hands of
the governor. who may act arbitrarily

War Orphan Fund.

"It was SO lively and so lovelyO,
was the comment Of one Of the guests
this morning in speaking Of the Bridge
Party given at Guild Hall on Tuesday
afternoon for the benefit of the Father
less Children in France
The party sounded "taps" for the
pre-Lenten social season and furnished
a fitting finale for year Of ultra-bril-
liant affairs.
Guild Hall was appropriately decor
ated with flags and flowers and SO be-
came an ideal setting for post-bellum
party in the interest Of the kiddies
left orphans by the World-War.
A non-elaborate but wholly delight
full luncheon concluded the festivities
of the afternoon.
And today Mrs. George II. Milne,
president of the War-Orphan Associa-
ton in Kenosha, and Mrs. Joseph
Clarkson, Chairman of the Social Com

Howard Sershon, Kenosha Is popular
tenor, was the feature of the program
furnished at the regular meeting of the
Kenosha council Of the knights of
Columbus at the K. G. Hall on Tues
day evening. His rendition Of several
old time melodies won the merited APP
plause of the knights and re-established
his reputation as a singer of rare
ability among the members of the
order. He was accompanied by Ed
ward McCaffery, whose work was of
equal merit.
The meeting on Tuesday was the last
social gathering Of the council before
the Lenten season and was very well
attended. In the social meeting the
members showed a lively interest in the
industrial enterprises now evident in
Kenosha and promised their support to
all of these The meeting was marked
by the introduction of a large number
of petitions for membership and ar
rangements are being made for the
initiation at an early date.
A luncheon followed the regular
meeting. The business meetings of the
order will be continued during the

GIRLS CLUB AS NUCLEUS
Racine Y. w. G. A. Expected to Take
the Lead In Carrying Out Plans for
Organization in Kenosha and Prom
inent Women are Asked to Aid.

+ Members of the state organization
committee of the Young Woman s
Christian Association, have designated
Kenosha as one Of the cities of Wis
consin in which special effort is to be
made this year to secure a foot-hold for
the organization. Several prominent
women of the city have been invited to
aid in the work and it is expected that
within a few days meeting will be
called at which plans for the organiza-
tion will be discussed.
Lack of leadership for the work is
the biggest handicap that the state COM
mittee is facing in its effort to organize
Kenosha young women into the nation
wide organization
The carrying out of the plans for
Kenosha is to be left largely to the
Racine leaders in the Y. w. G. A., and
a committee of that organization will
come to Kenosha in a short time. The
plan is to arrange for mass meeting of
all the leaders Of women IS work in
Kenosha with the idea of getting these
women to take charge of the organiza-
tion, of Kenosha branch.
The Y. w. G. A. never had an or
ganization in Kenosha. Many women
of the city feel deeply the need of such
an organization and it is believed that
ample financial support for the move
ment could be secured if the organi-
cation is made. The need of organiza-
tion among The young women Of Keno
sha has been strongly urged and it is
thought possible that the women and
men who have been interested in the
:" Girls Club here can be induced to
take up the work Of forming a larger
organization with a more definite pro-
gram of work which could be united
with the great organization of the
young Christian workers of the nation.
A. Y. W. G. A. club room or club house
in Kenosha would meet a great need
of the city.

also cold Folks at Home' as it made
them down hearted.
At time like the present when pa
triotic songs are absolutely necessary,
it becomes the duty of every person to
learn something Of the history of the
songs that have lived.
''The Star cpangled Banner
The first to be considered, of course,
is The Star Spangled Banner. Most
people know the origin of this famous
song but this paper would not be com
plete without an account of its history.
The author of the words, Francis
Scott Key. was born in Frederick
County, Maryland, Aug. 9, 1880. His
family was among the earliest set
tiers. He was educated at st. John s
College, Annapolis, and became a law
yer in Baltimore, in which city he
died January IL, 1843. During the
war of 1912, when the British feet
lay in Chesapeake Bay, Key went out
on a vessel which was used to bear
flag of truce, to ask for the release
of his friend, DR.. Beanes, who had
been captured. The doctor had been very
active against the British and it seems
would have been strung to the yard
arm, if it had not been for the inter
vention of his friend Key, coupled with
the fact that he had been very good
to the wounded British soldiers. His
release was granted but as Lord
Cockburn had just completed his plans
for an attack on Fort McHenry, he
decided to keep the Americans on
board till the next day.
The bombardment continued through
a day and night. Key was therefore
exposed to fire from his friends and
he anxiously watched the flag which
Lord Cockburn had boosted "would
yield in a few hours" floating over
the fort until darkness obscured it.
When morning dawned and he saw the
flag still held its position, so great was
his joy that snatching an old unsigned
letter from his pocket and laying it
on barrel head, he gave vent to his
feelings by writing the first stanza of
the "Star Spangled Banner" which he
entitled the "Defense of Fort Me-
Henry" Key finished the poem in the
boat that took him ashore.
The melody to which the Star
spangled Banner was adapted is an
old English drinking song entitled
!" Anacreon in Heaven" It was in
troduced to this country by Matthew
Carey in collection of songs publish
ed in 1906. The fact that it is so well
known here, led people to the belief
that it was composed by an American.
