Kaukauna Times - By Lyle Hansen
September 4, 1919
The Seymour Press is dead against the state minimum
wage of 22c per hour prescribed for women and minors. The Press calls it “The
Fool Law”. Many young boys and girls will lose their jobs as it is not worth
the cost to teach young people a trade. I person while learning a job would
have to be paid three to four times more than what they are worth.
Private Edward Wyro - A letter was
received by Mrs. John Henningsen this week regarding the death of her son,
Private Edward Wyro, who was killed overseas on October 15, 1918. Sergeant W.
P. Bogan of Appleton, Wisconsin states: “Private Wyro and I were lying in shell
holes about 10 yards apart, when a shell exploded in his area which wounded him
severely. Other soldiers and I immediately bandaged him and carried him to an
aid station. He died late that afternoon and was buried by Chaplain Kennedy of
this battalion.” The Red Cross extends
to you it’s very deep sympathy.

As increased enrollment mark the opening of
public schools of the city. Every department showed up stronger than last year.
The high school will hold 121 students but will now have 187. The need for a
more adequate provision has been called for over the past several years.
A study was done counting vehicles in towns for
one day. Appleton and Kaukauna had 1477 Wisconsin autos, 62 foreign autos, 35
trucks, 128 motorcycles, 1 heavy horse drawn rig, and 22 light horse drawn
rigs.
Our city is not in such urgent need of wading
pools for children as would be indicated. Every street in the city has its
large and small pools after any rain.
Chris Gerrig returned last week for overseas
having received his discharge from the army after more than a year with the A.

Members of this year's Kaukauna football team includes
Harold Remond, Fred Mueller, Lloyd Scholl, George Wiggers, Roland Schrader, Ted
Fargo, Stanley McCarty, Floyd Schrader, Stanley Whitman, Howard Delbridge,
Melvin Trams, Charles Husting, Edwin Miller, Norman Boettcher, Lester Smith,
Melvin Lockow and Dan Fredendall.
The Times takes
pleasure in adding to the Soldiers’ Honor Roll the name of Anthony Kroll, one
of the city’s young men who brought honor to this city and country by their
service during the war. He was seriously wounded in action while fighting on
the front in France. For a time, he was paralyzed but has gradually improved in
health and is on the road to recovery.
Grand Avenue Little Chute
Said a Little Chute man to
a Kaukauna man as they were inspecting the building operations and paved
streets of our enterprising neighbor, “If you fellows don’t look out you will
soon be nothing but a suburb to Little Chute.” The progressive little village
to the west of us has the habit of doing things in a way of all pulling
together for the common good of the community which many a larger place might
well envy.
