Moose Plan Broader
Scope of Helpfulness

Mooseheart, IlL-Stop the separation
of families, make it possible for every
boy and girl to get at least high
school education, service for babies
in the slums and tenement districts,
service for distressed girls and pro-
vide sufficient food for all school chill
dren, are some of the high-lights of a
program for broader service by the
Loyal Order of Moose, according to
Rodney H. Brandon, executive secre-
tary of the order. *
Secretary Brandon said that plans
are being made to enable every Moose
lodge, and there are '1,700, to procure
acres of land at the edges of their
respective cities, upon which are to be
erected bungalows, so that emergency
service can be given to all stricken
families, whether or not they are in
any way affiliated with the Moose or
der.
"The most interesting thing in the
world" Mr.. Brandon said, sis a baby.
The Loyal Order of Moose has a cor
ner on babies. We have more babies
under our wing at Mooseheart than
any other agency. Over 100000 ba-
bies year in the United States are
taken from their mothers and given
out to institutions and then adopted
out, under numbers, until they get a
new name, and they never again know
their parents or brothers or sisters.
Not one mother or father, if on a
death bed, would ever be willing to
agree to such care for their own chill
dren, yet they permit it for others.
"The Loyal Order Of Moose, in its
short life of 10 years, can pat itself
on the back for it's achievements, the
greatest in history. 1t has collected
millions of dollars and has expended
the money in giving the best kind of
homes to 1000 children, several hun
dred mothers and hundreds of aged
Moose and their wives.
There are millions of babies in dis
tress, and we must take the role of
crusaders and look over the earth and
save the army of babies who may be
lost
ave are working out a system
whereby men and women who are
members of the Moose order will give
service to all helpless babies in their
communities and provide them with
the necessities of life and schooling
to help make good citizens of them.
We are going to have Moose com
mittees in every city rap on doors of
school rooms and learn the identity
of all undernourished children, and
feed them. We are going to provide
food for all hungry children, so that
children whether or not their parents
are members of the Moose, will be
enabled to get at least a high school
education. Under our system no child
will have to leave school to help
earn money for the family, We are
going to eliminate poverty and eco
nomic reasons which compel children
to leave school before they should"

KenOsha County History
Reflects Pioneers Spirit
Contributions of Early Kenosha Leaders Make Up Brilliant
Period of Progress that Has Continued
to Present Day.

The city OF Kenosha can claim no
regular settlers earlier than 1885. In
February of that year an emigration
company had been formed in Eanni-
bal, New York, for the purpose of set
Ting q colony in the West. The ex-
piorers left New York state in March,
1885. Milwaukee was fixed upon as
the first destination but on their ar
rival the committee found that the
means within their control were too
limited &c purchase real estate, but
learned that there were several points
on the lake shore toward Chicago
which might be favorable and where
as yet there were no settlers. The
exploring party reached Pike Creek
June 6, 1886. piEe Greek, which at
that time spread OGt che width of a
wide river at once suggested the idea
of harbor for prospective commences
in short, everything seemed favorable
for the location of town.
The lure of the West with its ma
tural resources and its many advan-
tages for the speedy requirement of
wealth at that time became a subject
of absorbing attention throughout the
middle and eastern states.
The people were mainly from New
England, New York, and Ohio, with
comparatively few Germans, Irish,
English, and Scotch. The control of
public affairs was largely in the hands
of the native Americans but the for
eign born population was Of more
than average intelligence and enter
prise.
Among the occupations of the early
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1925-07-30

settlers we find the different profess
sions and trades necessary to that pi-
oneer life, lawyers, doctors, ministers,
merchants carpenters, etc.
Regular religious meetings were
held in the fall of 1895. Some want
cd the Baptists to organize but OBJ
jeetions were made that this would
produce sectarian feeling, so the
meetings remained open to all, many
coming miles to attend.
No church was constituted until
January, 1887. when the Methodists
founded a society. The Congregation
alists organized in June, 1888, the
Baptists in September of the same
year, and the Episcopalians in 1870.
There were few or no Roman Cath
olics in 1896, but as early as 1887 a
number of this faith located here. In
June, 1841, congregation was found
ed. The German Catholic population
increased to such an extent in the
north part of the city, that in 1849 a
church was built The German Lu-
therans formed "a society in 1850.
The pioneers of Southport of all
nationalities were not excelled in in
telligence and culture by those of any
section of the West. The early set
tiers brought their books with them
and their love of learning gave tone
to their social life. 1t is not remark
able that such community became a
pioneer in the cause of education.
In the winter of 1886 a school was
organized by Rev. Jason Lathrop with
thirty scholars.

RELEASE WATCH
ON PERI PLACE
Decision of Judge Belden
Allows Building to Be
Opened Again Today.
CLOSED SINCE MAY rs

The vigil which members of the
sheriff's force have been keeping on
the place owned by Domenico and
Josephine Peril, at the corner of Di-
vision street and Rowland avenue,
and formerly operated by, Robert
LUCKY Strike" Rein, has been relaxed
and today the owners are free to do
whatever they wish with the premises
providing, and the proviso is backed
with bond of $500 furnished by the
efendants-that at no time shall the
building or anything in the building
be used in violation of the law. The
place has been closed since May 26,
the day after the police made their
last raid on Rein, and the day upon
which he began to serve sentence in
Jail imposed because of his illicit IL
quor activities.
On June 80, when the paddock pa
pers were signed by Judge E. B. Bel
den in circuit court and ordered
served on the defendants in the case
the premises were formally declared
closed and locked up by Sheriff Will
lens, pending the hearing in the case.
The temporary injunction was then in
force.
Then on July FL the hearing in the
case was held when the defendants
were ordered into court to show cause
why the paddock should not be made
permanent. AT this time the Ferris,
owners of the property, presented an
answerNto the charges filed by District
Attorney Lewis Powell, acting as Unit
ed States attorney and representing
the United States of America in the
case. The answer hinged about two
important points-that the place was
not nuisance at the time of the
serving of the paddock injunction, and
second, that the Perris had no knowl-
edge that Rein was violating the law.
The judge found for the defendants
in their first claim in his decision, but
insisted that the owners must have had
knowledge of the repeated violations
of the liquor laws in the place, eff
they did nothing else except read the
local newspapers"
What the next step in the series of
paddock injunction will be remains to
be seen. The district attorney declared
on Monday that he was ready to start
actions against other nuisances in this
city and county in his drive against
the illicit trafficking of liquor.
