FARMER IN THE DELL

The entire week is being given over
by county officials, under the leader
ship of Nicholas Roders, chairman of
the county board, to marshalling the
Christmas spirit throughout the county
so that there may be an even division
of food and warmth and merriment by
Christmas Eve. The county officials
got together over the idea last Friday
and Roders was made chairman of a
soliciting committee and Miss Irma
Rasmussen, county nurse, chairman of
the basket committee. John F. Herzog,
Kenosha county highway commissioner
offered the loan of men and teams for
the week, and early Monday morning
the work began with will.
Really Monday morning started out
as if it were going to snow; one bunch
hustled off this way and one that, all
in the effort to arouse the people of
the county to help make Christmas a
merry one for everybody, big and little
large and small. Assisting Herzog
were his construction superintendent,
John Gaggin, Gus Bowman and Walter
Bennett, who went out through the
county asking for donations.
Meanwhile Roders combined with the
sheriff's men, Knipfer, Keul Otto and
Robinson, all Of whom entered whole
heartedly into the plan. Yesterday the
sheriff's crew and Roders combed over
the territory around Pleasant Prairie
and the response of the farmers
throughout that township was so
hearty that it put new life into the en-
terprise at the start. Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday will be used in
soliciting, Thursday in gathering up
the articles promised, and Saturday
will be spent in distribution.
The teams Of the highway commits
sioner will be used to bring in the
produce and Miss Rasmussen will be
in charge of preparing the baskets as
fast as they come in. Already 200
bushels Of potatoes have been promised
besides quantities of chickens, squash,
turnips, apples and other good things
that the thrifty and Woodworking
farmer has stored away in his cellar.

was conceived by an American Soldier,
Walter E. Smith, who opened a shop
when his enlistment expired, after
fifteen years in the army. Germans
didn't pay much attention to the little
cafe at first but curiosity got the best
of them at last and finally they began
patronizing the place, and the food,
served with Chinese trimmings, is
quite popular now with the native
