Kaukauna Times
By Lyle Hansen
October 1, 1925
Policewomen are now employed in eight Wisconsin
cities. The duties of the policewomen include mainly juvenile cases, protective
work among women and children.
Many in Kaukauna have seen the new improved
Fords for several days in the show rooms.
Three local boys have been detected with
disease. Three girls, who range in age from 14 to 16 years, were arrested and
sent to the Industrial School for Girls, in Milwaukee, for being incorrigible.
The girls were committed because of communicable disease.
Wabeno – For the second time within five months the
safe in the northwestern station was blown by cracksmen. Its contents, $1 in
pennies, were left untouched. The previous job likewise netted nothing.

The Rah Rah Club of KHS is composed of only
senior girls. These girls have been on probation for one week and have finished
their probation satisfactorily. They are interested in promoting and raising
pep in the students.
For several years Mr. Coppes wore the kingly
crown and bore the distinction of being the Schut Society marksman in
Hollandtown. Thursday when the Diamond Jubilee Celebration was held his shots
seemed to go wild in an attempt to bring down the wooden bird perched upon the
tip of a tall pole. Nick Fink of Hollandtown was victorious over the 24
riflemen and toppled the bird.

Little Chute - The grocery store of
De Groot and Verhagen was entered by thieves and about $500 worth of stock was
removed from the store.
One of the most remarkable police dogs is
Rin-Tin-Tin, who is a feature screen player in movies that may be seen at the
Bijou theater this week.
Through a transaction that was consummated this
week the south side store of Herman T. Runte Company was sold to Julius J.
Martens who was president of the Runte Company for the past sixteen years.

Mrs. Henrietta Coppes, whose picture appeared this past
Christmas in the Times on her 100th birthday has died on October 21.
The Times office recently received a letter
from Wurttemberg, Germany from Mrs. Fred Hirt, who was at one time a resident
of Kaukauna. Just a few lines from me to let you know that my husband and I are
still alive. His right leg is in very bad condition, and he is confined to a
wheelchair and the doctors said he would not live six months. On September 2
three men broke into our house, one through a stone that broke two fingers on
my left hand. I called the police, and they came the next day. My husband had fired
a handgun at the men but missed them. The police arrested my husband and called
us d—m Americans. The police then stole three ducks and seven chickens.
Kaukauna is a pretty nice place to live after all.

What does a “K” mean to a student? It shows
that he has sacrificed time and effort to gain a place where he could represent
the school. Since this “K” means so much why should its value be lowered by students
wearing the “K” who have not earned the right to wear it.
It’s not unusual around town to hear someone
wishing for “the good old days”. I wonder how long they would put up with the
discomforts suffered by their grandparents without raising a hue and cry for
the things they now enjoy.
