OBSERVE GOLDEN
WEDDING TONIGHT
Mr.. and Mrs. J. I'll. Karnes,
Senior, Celebrate Their
5Oth Anniversary
HAVE FAMILY REUNION

Fifty years ago the March winds
blew huge snow banks about Kenosha
county and delayed the marriage cere-
mony of Miss Hattie J.. Fellows and
James H. Karnes, which was to have
been read at the brides home in Bris-
toll, March 10, 1870. The marriage had
been set for the fifteenth, as that date
was also the birthday anniversary of
Mr.. Karnes, but the weather man de-
creed otherwise and it was impossible
to travel until the seventeenth when
the nuptials were solemnized. These
interesting facts were brought to light
when Mr.. Karnes was discussing the
arrangements for the golden wedding
anniversary to be held this evening at
the Karnes home, 433 Grover street.
Just Social Evening.
A dinner, with covers for thirty
FIVE, has been planned for seven-thirty
o'clock, and music and "reminiscences
will serve as after dinner entertain
ment. Celebrants from out-of-town
will be Mrs. Merbill, a sister of Mrs.
Karnes, from Zion, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Karnes of Oshkosh. Frank
Karnes, one of the four sons, is super
visor of manual training in the state
Normal school at Oshkosh, Wisconsin
The other sons are Charles j., James
H. Jr, and Ralph, all of Kenosha. Mr..
and Mrs. Karnes have twelve grand
children who will also participate in
the festivities.
Mr.. Karnes, who was seventy-eight
years old on Monday, has played an
important part in the history of Keno
sha as the founder and promoter of the
Humane society. He has been at the
head of che society since it's organiza-
ton in 1905. He also organized the
Band of Mercy in Kenosha and formerly
served as game warden with authority
to act officially all over the state. He
came to Kenosha county from Bridge
port, Conn, when lad. The journey
from Chicago was made on the second
passenger train which made the trip
between Chicago and Milwaukee. His
parents took up farming near Bristol
and he continued with the work until
1905, when he established home in
Kenosha. Mrs. Karnes was born and
reared in Kenosha county. She is a
relative of Daniel Webster.
Visits from Friends.
The celebration this evening is just
for the immediate family and relatives
but during the day the happy couple
received many visits and phone calls
from their many friends who congratu-
lated them and wished them many
more such merry anniversary celebra-
tions.

MEET SNEERS'
SAYS DORWARD
Rev. G. T. DOrward Pleases
Legion with Lesson of
"The Canine Tooth
SEEK 1000 MEMBERS

Presenting in a new and inspiring
form the old lesson Of "If at first you
don't succeed, try, try again." the
Rev. c. I. Dorward won appreciation
and applause from the more than
two hundred members of the Kenosha
Post of the American Legion whom
he addressed at their regular meeting
on Tuesday evening at the former Odd
Fellows hall on Church street. The
speaker, who is the pastor of the First
Baptist church of Milwaukee, and one
of the most gifted orators of the state
of Wisconsin, united an entertaining
Scotch wit with an abundance of
profitable philosophy in an address
which won rounds of applause from the
service men.
How to Meet Sneers.
The Rev. Mr.. Dorward took as his
subject, "The Uncovered Canine
Tooth" He explained that the theme
for his address came from the SEN
tence in an old text book, which read,
when man sneers or snarls at an
other, the corner of the upper lip over
the canine or eye tooth, is raised on
the side towards the man he is adj
dressing" How to- meet the sheer of
"the uncovered canine tooth" was the
interesting theme of his address.
The speaker took the legionnaires to
the realm of literature where he
showed how Alfred Tennyson, first
met with snarls and sneers, had met
these with devotion to principle and
work, and emerged the man of letters
of his day. He took them to the realm
of invention where he cited Alexander
Bell as man who had met and con-
quered the uncovered canine tooth"
He led them into the field of the pro-
LESSONS, and of craftsmanship, and
everywhere he showed that sneers and
snarls, when properly met, had been
the stepping stones to success,
Achieve Through Difficulty.
"Do not succumb to the sheer of the
uncovered canine TOOTH" declared the
speaker to the Kenosha service men.
eff you ever expect to achieve any
thing of lasting value, It will only be
through difficulties. If you fail, learn
why you fail and then try, try again.
Thank God for difficulties and prob
lens for only in the grave are there
no problems to solve. Buckle into them
in the same way that you answered
the sheer of Wilhelm Hohenzollern
and success will be your reward"

Meeting Is Enthusiastic.

Legion during 1920. Announcement
was made that since the last meeting
more than fifty service men have
Joined the Post and during the even
ing twenty more added their names
to the muster roll. The Identification
cards were passed out to the members
and by this method it was shown that
there were now more than four hun
dred members of the Kenosha Post.
The members present voted unani-
mously to use their personal efforts

the goal of 100 is to be reached.

See the Other Half

Glow the other half feels" might
aptly characterize a little visit which
Mrs Mary d. Bradford and Mrs. Simon
Gottlieb made to the Americanization
class for Russians of the Greek ortho-
dox faith in the newly erected church
on the corner of North Pleasant and
Bronson streets, and which was de-
scribed to the members of the Keno
sha College Club Saturday afternoon.
Relate Troubles.
Mrs. Gottlieb was able to talk to the
men in their native tongue, and their
JOY in the opportunity thus afforded
them was pathetic, One man who had
been here for six years wanted to
know why no interest had been mani
tested in them at an earlier date, and
they were forced to tell him that the
educational policy had not been of the
best and that the present Americana
zaztion on movement is an outgrowth
of the war.
The men poured out all their troub-
les to Mrs. Gottlieb and were extreme
ly bitter because it had been impossible
for them to send aid or even letters
to their loyal ones in Russia. Their
mail is returned to them after reach
ing New York, and they bombarded
her with questions as to why the gov
eminent did not do something for
them. They said that people in Ger
many with whom the United States
was at war, might be communicated
with but that this privilege was denied
them.
One person, prominent in the city,
sent check for fifty dollars to a
starving relative in Lithuania. The
check came within five miles of where
the relative was located, but, because
of the fact that there has been such
terrific fighting putting the towns
first in one country and then in
another, the Polish officials in the town
refused to forward the check to the
town in enemy territory. The check
came back last week after months of
travel and, because of the fluctuations
in foreign money, the person can
claim only twenty-four. dollars.
Affected by Visit.
Mrs. Gottlieb said that she had been
greatly affected by her visit to the
people in this class and her brief talk
proved the sincerity of her statement
and Of her desire to aid, in some meas
ure, these unfortunate people. The lit
tie visit portrayed so wildly by both
Mrs. Gottlieb and Mrs. Bradford Great
ed much interest in the club women
which will possibly lead to their visit
ing this class of eager pupils, who
are striving to grasp American ideals
and trying, in some small measure, to
id them in their problems.

MRS. MAY MILLER
WEEDS AT FLINT
Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. w. Nash Bride Of Bas-
il Winter de Guichard.
CEREMONY QUIET ONE

Announcements received in Kenosha
on Tuesday read as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Basil Winter de
Guichard will be at home after April
IL, 1920, at TOT East Kearsley street,
Flint, Michigan"
The announcement is very inter-
esting one to Kenosha society as Mrs.
Basil Winter de Guichard before her
marriage was Mrs. May Nash-Miller,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w.
Nash of Durkee avenue. The an
nouncement came as a happy little
surprise to many of the friends of the
bride in Kenosha
Ceremony a Quiet One.
Coupled with the announcement that
Mr.. and Mrs. de Guichard will be at
home after April 18th, comes the an
nouncement that the marriage cere-
mony was very quietly celebrated at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Champion,
mutual friends of the bride and groom,
in Flint, on the afternoon of Monday,
March 9Th. Only a few very near
friends of the bride and groom were
present at the marriage ceremony.
Following merry little wedding din
ner, Mr.. and Mrs, de Guichard left
Flint for the south where they are
now spending their honeymoon.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. de Guichard are
we'll known to Kenosha. Mrs. de
Guichard made her home with her par
ents here until the latter part of De-
cember when she went to Flint. She
was well known to Kenosha society and
had been active in many lines Of social
work. Mr.. de Guichard is connected
with the Champion Spark Plug Co., OF
Flint, and he is widely known to the
world of motors.

Society and Social EUents
Looks In Vain
for Old KenOshd

Here's true story for those Keno
shans who believe the city is the same
little village it was years ago.
Thirty three years ago William Neu-
bert, then young man, left Kenosha
for the east to make his home and his
fortune. He had been born in Ke-
nosha, was educated in the schools here
and when he left the city was we'll
acquainted with every nook and corner
of the then fourishing city OF some
few thousand inhabitants.
Business has kept him away from
Kenosha from that time until very
few days ago when he came to Kenosha
to visit his mother at 463 Park street.
He came to Kenosha unexpectedly and
like the days of old thought he could
easily find his way to the home of his
childhood.
"Now would you believe it,, he said
in telling of the experience, 81 had
to have some one direct me to 463
Park Street and mind you l was born
and raised in this town. That shows
you how this city has grown during an
absence of thirty-three years. In
all my travels have never been in a
city that has grown so quickly as my
home town."
Although Mr.. Neubert proudly sticks
to the claim that Kenosha is "his home
town, he could remain here but few
days and returned Tuesday to his home
in Lynn, Massachusetts,, after per
sonally conducted tour of the village
that had grown into city while he
had been gone.

various phases of the work. Follow
