DIAMONDS FOR
CARNIVAL QUEEN
Trades and Labor Council
Decide to Make Good
Promise to Ladies.
WILL NOT BUY AUTO


Milady, the Queen of the Carnival,
shall be decorated in diamonds. That
was the conclusion reached at the
meeting of the Kenosha Trades and
Labor Council at its adjourned meet
ing held on Tuesday evening. Although
the name Of girl winning first honors
was not made public at the meeting,
It nevertheless has been decided by the
auditors and will be made known pub
lie just as soon as the diamond ring Is
purchased and presented to the queen
Of the carnival in the near future.
This is in keeping with the agreement
made by the management before the
sale of tickets was started.
Boy Scout to Get Uniform.
In the sale Of tickets by the Boy
Scouts Of Kenosha, scout uniform is
to be presented to the Boy Scout who
sold the most tickets, and no doubt,
the uniform will be purchased in the
next few days and presented to the
Boy Scout winning first place. The
name of the scout has not as yet been
made public and will be given out as
soon as the uniform is presented to
him in the near future.
Money on Auto to Be Returned.
Those people who have bought tick
cts on the automobile that was to be
given away are asked to return their
tickets and receive back the money
they paid for them
Advance Agent Logan Of the car
nival company, for whom a warrant Of
arrest for embezzling funds was is
sued, left Kenosha with several hun
bred dollars Of the money collected on
the automobile, but the carnival com
pany, after some argument, returned
to the Trades Council enough money
to pay back those people who bought
tickets on the automobile.
Net Clear Total Of $500.
The net total to revert to the funds
of the Trades Council is trife over
$500. But if the council had decided
to sell the remaining tickets on the
automobile and had purchased the car,
the carnival would have been a great
failure as far as the financial part of
the local council would be concerned
There was something over $70O more
to be paid on the car, and with only
$500 remaining, the council would be
several hundred dollars Gin the hole. !"
