The Kenosha Retailers at
Luncheon Today An
nounce Date of Feb.
CTS for Big Sale.
CARNIVAL OF BARGAINS
Dollar Days of Past to be Surpassed
by Three-Day Feature Sale of the
Members of the Kenosha Retailers
Associations Get Ready for It.

Get ready; it's coming the Red
Tag Sale.
This was the announcement made by
Kenosha Retailers at their luncheon
held at noon today at the Pompeian
Room Of the Elks Home. The date
set for the sale is February 9th, 7th
and 8th and plans were made to make
it one of the real events in the COM
mercial history Of Kenosha.
This carnival of bargains, which is
to be offered to the public on these
three days, is to be participated in
only by the members of the Kenosha
Retailers Association. Every store
which has the right to participate in
the sale will display prominently a
large Red Tag bearing the trade mark
of the Retailers Association.
The idea of combined effort on the
part of merchants in advertising and
staging value giving sale is not en-
tirely new in Kenosha. Dollar Days
have in the past been extremely sue
cessful in Kenosha but their reputation
is destined to suffer before the new Red
Tag Sale. The merchants have de-
cided in this sale to Guido "Dollar
Day. by making sale prices on every
item in their respective stores and
thus bargains will be greater than
ever were on Dollar Day.
There are ninety members of the Ke-
nosha Retailers Association and to a
man they have fallen in with the spirit
Of the sale and each and every one
will offer exceptional bargains on the
eventful 9th, 9TH and 9Th of February.
This alone assures the public that this
will be the greatest bargain festival
that has even been staged in Kenosha
and it is believed that it will attract
crowds from all parts of the county.
The plan of the sale was merely out
lined by the retailers at their luncheon
at the Elks Home this noon. Further
details will be made public from day
to day in the 'sKenosha Evening
News and the buying public is urged
to watch for the surprises. Bills will
be carried throughout the county an
nocncing the great sale and exceptional
bargains which will be offered by Ke-
nosha dealers.
Start looking for the sign now,''
said one Of the leaders in the sale.
"It's big Red Tag and wherever it is
displayed on the 9Th, eth and Sth of
February it will mean that that store
is offering real-for-sure bargains

On the "Y" Circuit
Clyde Stoneman of Kenosha Is Busy
Entertaining the Boys Winter
ing in Germany

Clyde Stoneman, one of Kenosha s
soldiers now wintering in Germany,
does not expect to be back home in
the very near future. In fact he is
afraid that he may be kept in Germany
as long as any of the American
soldiers. He was recently placed on
the "Y'' circuit whose business it is
to entertains the soldiers in Germany
and his musical talent will probably
keep him on this detail indefinitely.
Young Stoneman is son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Stoneman of Kenosha and
he is a member Of the 127th Head
quarters Company. His recent appoint
ment to service for the ssY'' as a part
of the soldier troop was explained in
recent letter received by his mother.

Managing Poet No Hard
Task, Says NObIewoman.

Lady Dunsany, however. does
not seem to have found it a hard
life managing such a tremendous
playboy. She was in their liv-
ing room, a slight, charming wo-
man with one of those high
checkboned broad browed faces
with wide set eyes which have
put the stamp of beauty so often
upon the Irish woman face. She
sat down in a corner to talk; but
she first extracted her husband
from another room and turned
him over to a waiting publishers
agent. The poet bounded in like
a great Irish terrier. shook hands
all around, grabbed. another cup
of tea from the breakfast tray
and settled down TO business.
Then his wife. with an eye on
him, tried to prove what SIM
pie task hers was, this managing

At this point the discussion
ceased, for Lord Dunsany called
over to- ask if his wife would
please suggest some story or play
to give this publisher? And that
had to be settled. Lady Dunsany
found the play in the bookcase,
