All paths in the city
last Friday led to the salesroom of the Kaukauna Farm Implement Company, where
hundreds of people gathered to examine the big exhibit of farm machinery and
listen to the lectures and advice of expert demonstrators whom the company had
secured for the occasion. Second street was crowded with automobiles and
vehicles and a stranger would have been justified in thinking that a circus was
in town, or a contingent of soldiers was about to entrain for an army camp.
Teachers’ Salaries
Raised
– The city board of education last evening resolved to increase the salaries of
teachers in the Kaukauna schools $150 per annum. The board also appointed a
committee to ascertain whether land could be secured on the island for a new
high school.

North Side Garage who has been handling the Crane, the Grant and Stanley
Steamer has added the Nash to the number of cars he is selling.
The City Honor Roll – The Times is
desirous in securing an accurate and complete list of all the returned soldiers
and sailors of this city and vicinity. The list will form an accurate record of
those who helped to “make the world safe for democracy”.
Foxes Win – The Fox Club Basketball
team defeated the High School Friday night. The high school boys had no
practice before the game since high school basketball is over and the boys
could not obtain the use of the auditorium. Bill Garvey and Bill Haas played
the best ball for the Foxes and Schrader and Brenzel played good ball for the
high school. The lineup for the Foxes was: Rennicke, Garvey, H. Olm, Hass and
Spindler. The high school lineup consisted of Fargo, Schrader, Delbridge,
Wiggers and Brenzel.
Theodore Molberg of The Times, who was recently
mustered out of service at Camp Zachary Taylor at Louisville, Kentucky, has
placed in The Times’ office window a wonderful picture of a group of 11,000
soldiers so arranged as to spell out the words “Camp Zachary Taylor.” The picture
is nearly three feet long.

Rest room and social headquarters for the union
men of the city have been provided by the Kaukauna Trades and Labor Council
which has secured rooms over the Hilgenberg Bowling Alleys on Wisconsin Avenue.
Young Ladies Bowling Team – The bowling fever
has caught on with some young ladies of the city who have organized themselves
into a team for Monday afternoons. Those who have shown interest in knocking
down the ten pins are the Misses Regina Lehrer, Valeria Gerend, Blanche Gerend,
Angeline Leddy, Elizabeth Coppes and Gertrude Timm.
Home from France – Edward Filen who
enlisted with Kaukauna’s volunteer company at the outbreak of the war two years
ago returned home from France last Monday. He was wounded in fighting and spent
four months in the hospital. He tells of how in attacking the Germans they found
young German soldiers chained to the machine guns to prevent them from
retreating.

Purchases New Car – Mr. H. W. Fargo went
to Hartford Saturday to bring home his new four passenger Kissel Car which he
purchased from the Kissel Motor Co. The car, called the Silver Six, has a
beautiful light blue finish.
The Seymour Press calls the offer tender to the
citizens of Kaukauna the Hotel La Salle property by the Thilmany Pulp and Paper
company for a soldiers’ memorial an offer the citizens of Kaukauna should
except.
Hotel La Salle
Little Chute Band – The Little Chute
Band made its first public appearance on the streets of Little Chute Easter
Sunday and rendered some highly appreciated music on the streets of the
village. Passing automobiles lined up along Grand Avenue taking on all the airs
of State Street, Chicago.
