BRIGHTON IS FIRST
TO HONOR HEROES
Town of Brighton Erects
Monument to Veterans
of World War.
TO BE UNVEILED SOON
Impressive Ceremonies on Me-
mortal Day Will UnveiI
Granite Monument.

Claiming the distinction of being
the first town in southern Wisconsin
to erect monument to the memory
of those who answered the call to the
colors in the World War, the town of
Brighton en- Memorial day will unveil
a granite monument as tribute to the
young men of that town who served
the flag in the recent war. The monu-
ment, now completed and erected, will
be located in vacant lot adjoining
the church in the village of Brighton.
While the work has all been complet-
ed on the stone, it has been recovered
with wooden scaffolding to await the
unwilling ceremonies on Decoration
day.
On the granite slab, which is more
than twelve feet high, and which is
monument of which any village might
fel proud, are chiselled the names of
the Brighton young men who served
the colors.
One Is Nobly Dead.
High above the names of the other
comrades is the name of Private Mar
tin Hahn, one who is "nobly dead, as
he was killed in France, while fighting
the enemy. 1t is the one casualty of
the war suffered by the village. Be-
those who marched away to war from
the town and returned victorious.
The movement to erect the monu
ment started among the women of the
village, who had organized for war
work during the days of the struggle
proper. At the end of the war, a sur
plus of several hundred dollars was in
the treasury of the war fund of the
town. and at The suggestion of the
mothers and wives, this was made the
nucleus of the fund for erecting a
memorial. During the past year this
amount has been increased to $1,000,
the approximate cost of the monument.
Arrange for Ceremony.
At meeting held in the village ear
ly this week plans were made for the
unwilling of the monument on Memoir
ial day. Former town chairman James
Martin and Reverend Father Krause
were named as special committee to
secure speakers for the occasion. Will
liam V. Gull was chosen as chairman
for the day with John Tighe, selected
to make other important arrangements
for the occasion. There will be mar
tial music and patriotic addresses, the
speakers to be announced later. Then
there will be poppies spread over the
monument in memory of the boys who
came not back.
The town of Brighton invites the
people of all Kenosha county to join
with them in the ceremony of unveil-
ing the monument. 1t is to be a trib-
ute to the manhood of the entire
county who answered the call to the
colors and it is hoped that many from
every town of the county will attend
the ceremonies.

BADLY INJURED
In AUTO CRASH
Stelino Balinski, a Brass
Worker, is Struck by
Auto Monday.
MAY PROVE FATAL

Stelino Balinski, aged about thirty
years, an employee of the American
Brass company, is at the Kenosha hos
pital suffering from severe injuries
received about four o'clock Monday
afternoon when he was struck by an
automobile and thrown to the street
pavement near the corner of Prairie
avenue and Prairie court. The auto
mobile was driven by Fred Michetti,
1867 Prairie avenue, who stopped his
motor as quickly as possible and hur-
ried to take the victim to the Keno
sha hospital.
At the hospital it was discovered
that Balinski had received a basal
skull fracture, broken jaw and other
decorations and cuts. Dr. B. F.
Schwartz, WHO was called to attend
him, declared that the injuries while
severe would probably not prove fatal,
unless the skull fracture developed
to be far more serious than it first
appeared.
Was Riding a Bicycle.
Dd1hohA was IluinS O4CyCle ana III
some way or other was run down by
Michetti. He was thrown from the
bicycle to the pavement and his head
caught between part of the wheel and
the curbing. Several who saw the ac-
cident rushed to the mans aid and lift
ed him into another automobile, in
which he was hurried to the hospital.
Michetti after taking the man to the
hospital, went Immediately to the po-
lice station and reported the accident.
He was not held but was ordered to
return this afternoon in order that an
investigation of the accident might
be made.

C.. F. Nelson OF State
Bank Makes Comment

Money is not loosening up, but it
will in all probability after the first
Of January, according to recent COM
r,,ent of Vice President C. F. Nelson
of the Devils Lake State bank. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Nelson, the idea that
the War Finance Corporation loans to
western banks will relieve the situa-
tion to any extent, is apparently er-
roneous. He pointed out that these
loans will take up outstanding paper
of various banks, but that so far as
bringing in actual or new cash to var
ious communities, it does not do it.
1t will, however, ease up some tighten
ed circumstances as old and some
seemingly "heavy" paper will be wip-
ed out for "fresh" loans, it was de-
clared in another quarter.
Mr.. Nelson, in speaking Of the stu.
alton in the money market, was far
from pessimistic, altho thoroly fami-
liar with the situation nationally and
locally. He was on the other hand
inclined to be optimistic in belief
that altho the money stringency is be-
ing felt here and pinching many bus
mess institutions as well as farmers,
there would be some relief felt soon.

E Ia ably the first
III state which was
H&A~ created in the
eE%ZZ8 world by a writ
~ ten constitution.
It was really AN offshoot from
Massachusetts, for in 1886 there
was dissatisfaction over the form
of government among the Puri-
tans in Cambridge, Watertown
and Dorchester, the three towns
surrounding Boston. A large
part of these three towns, there
fore, decided to journey to the
Connecticut valley, as they had
heard that there was to be found
excellent farm land, and the
Dutch from New Netherlands
had been forced out the previous
year by the erection by the Eng.
lish of fort at Saybrook at the
mouth of the river. The Cam
bridge people, under the leader
ship of their pastor, Hooker,
founded Hartford. the Dorches-
ter people settled Windsor, and
those from Watertown estab-
lished Wethersfield. For a few
years they remained part of
Massachusetts, but early in 1889
the people of these three towns
met and drew up a written con-
stituion and agreed to govern
themselves. Meanwhile, in 1888.
a large company Of colonists un-
der the leadership of John Dav-
export arrived from England and
settled the town of New Haven,
later spreading to Milford and
Stamford. These two distinct
colonies were later united and
took the name of Connecticut
from its principal river. This is
an Algonquin Indian name mean
ing "long river" 1t became the
fifth state to join the Union
when it adopted the Constitution
on January 8, 1888. 1t Is some
times called the Land Of Steady
Habits, but is more popularity
known as the Nutmeg state from
the humorous accusation that
it's peddlers were accustomed to
palm off WOODEN nutmegs to
their customers. The area of
Connecticut is 1895 square
miles, the third smallest Of our
states. Its population, however,
entities it to seven electoral
votes for president.

Beware Of Eye Strain.

Irr'tability of the stomach, loss Of
appetite, dyspeptic symptoms after
partaking of food, dizziness, nausea
and vomiting are often caused by eye
strain. After the eyes are examined
and glasses are worn the symptoms
disappear. Children during the period
of school life who frequently suffer
from headache, loss Of appetite and
dizziness and are behind in their work
should have their eyes examined and
the eye strain relieved by prescribed
glasses.

GEORGE LOCKE
VISITS FORMER
HOME IN EAST
Local Citizen Returns
Home After Long
Trip To N. Y.

George H. Locke, pioneer in this COM
munity, recently returned from visit
to the scense of his early life at
Rome, New York. The following
story, clipped from the Daily Sen
tinel of that place indicates the pro-
minence of the Devils Laker while
In the east.
When George H. Locke went to
Devils Lake, North Dakota in the
70s went as far as the railroad,
Hills Great Northern, could carry
him.
He took out tree claim on piece
of land which he pre-empted, OBJ
served that Indians were the only in
habitants roundabout and settled
down to wait for town to start. 1t
started very soon. Today Mr.. Locke's
card reads:
Proprietor of Locke Blocke, hot
and cold water in all parts of the
buildings; stores, offices and strictly
modern flats for rent"
There is nobody in the world who
knows more about Devils Lake, the
town, than Mr.. Locke knows. Every
train coming and going he has met,
figuratively, and almost actually he
has congratulated every father of a
newborn.
Not in 45 years before has he vis-
tied Rome.
He is the guest of Fitch Raynsford,
AIT w. Court street. They two were
boys together in the town of Verona,
where they were born in the same
month in 1857. A good many people
in Rome and the Quilting town will
remember Mr.. Locke. William H.
Assessors, went to school with Mary
Elizabeth Haskins, who was Mr..
Locke's mother. Now Mr.. Locke
himself has three grown children liv-
ing, Ray John, and Marie: His wife
is no longer living.
Mr.. Locke is interested in the Barge
Canal. Out in North Dakota, he
says, nobody knows whether or not
it is ready for use. He believes the
western states would be against the
proposed improvement of the St. Law
renee waterway if they knew the ex-
cellent facilities of the Barge for
shipping wheat.
When he first reached North Dako-
ia, he wondered at Devils Lake,
which the Siox tribes call Minne-
waukan, or Haunted waters. It had
in inlet or outlet. Always in the
winter strip of thin ice between
the thick ice reached clear across it.
Men and horses, breaking through,
disappeared forever. That was why
the Indians called the water haunted.
Mr.. Locke went west in 1876. Form
Morris, ILL.,, where he clerked in gro
Gerry store for a year, he went in 1882
to Colorado and thence to Devils
Lake.
Rome, he notices, has grown up as
we'll as out. Our stores looked good
to him, after what they were when he
was 18.
