TINES CHANGE.

1t appears this year that the Gus
tom of merchants giving away fancy
calendars, with their advertisements
printed thereon is becoming obsolete.
At this time other years every
freckled faced boy in town could be
seen running around the streets with
one or more calendars under his arm.
But times have changed. They must
now denend on the limited supply
doled out by the insurance agencies.
Another custom which has become
obsolete is the New Years address
handed out by newspapers and by
which their subscribers are held up
for an additional 10 to % cents. There
was a time, years ago, when a New
Years address means something
matters of local address, in verse or
otherwise, but now it meane nothing
only "a verse from some unknown
writer, or just ''the carrier wishes
you a Happy New Year" 1t puts

He found he could get money for his
drinks in a more genteel way than

no matter what time of the year it
was, he accosted him thus, Happy

got his ten cents. Now, no up-to-date
paper thinks of sending out New
Years address to ''hold up les patrons.

tan dailies, who every year present

THEY TRADE EARLY.

Wausau merchadts report that a
large part of the Christmas buying is
over. They make this deduction from
a comparison with the business of
other years. This is sign that the
public is becoming educated to the
fact that it is not only better
for the merchant and his clerks
to buy early for the customeras well.
There are still lot of people
who, put off their Christmas shopping
to the eleventh hour, and they must
of necessity be satisfied with what is
left them to choose from. Another
thing the merchants say is noticeable
is that a large portion of the buying
is done in the day time. In other
years the stores were so crowded
nights that the clerks couldn't give
customers the attention they wished
and the latter couldn't get around to
look at merchandise. BY reason of
the stores bring crowded, the mer-
chants lost lots of articles through pill
fering.

CHIEF INJURED.

Henry Miller, chief of the fire de-
partment, was quite badly injured
this morning shortly after the hour
of Seyen. At the time the alarm was
sounded for the Zastrow tire, part of
the tiremen were home for breakfast,
and the east side company was there
fore short of men. Henry was assist
ing the men in getting line of hose
up onto the building. He and one of
the tiremen climbed a ladder and he
was holding the nozzle of a hose.
There was very high pressure on at
the time which made ii hard TO keep
the hose from being jerked out of lis
hands. The Hopping Of the hose
caused him TO loose his balance and
he was thrown TO the ground He
was picked up, placed in a street car
ana hurried TO his home and medical
aid summoned. His left side was in
Jured and he has since suffered great
pain.
So far as has been determined no
bones were broken, and it will require
several days time to tell just how
badly he is injured. Following the
accident a partial paralysis developed.
1t is estimated that he fell about
fifteen feet.
In twenty-four years service in the
department this is the only serious
accident Mr.. Miller has suffered. This
was his last day, his resignation to
take effect tomorrow morning. 1t
was an unfortunate ending after 50
many years of service.

INCREASED STOCK.

A stockholders meeting of the
Wausau Ginseng Co. was held last
evening, at which there were some
present from out Of the CITY. The
company has an acre and half near
the city devoted to ginseng culture,
and for some time the stockholders
have been contemplating spreading
out and doing business on a larger
scale. To do this requires capital and
SO at last NIGHTS meeting it was de-
cided to increase the capital stock
from $40, 600 to 5000 This increase
will give the company an opportunity
to lay out more land to the cultiva-
ton of ginseng, build enclosures, etc.
The following were elected a board
OF directors A. l.. KreutZer, w. II.
Koehler, III. j. Seim, Henry Denfeld
and j. Ii. Koehler. The board of
directors will meet later and elect
officers.
1t is quite likely that the york of
extending the business will be taken
up early in the spring.

SUGGESTS MAKING AN EXPERT
MENT.

At the hearing of the special legis-
lative committee on forestry at Hotel
Pfster Wednesday, State Forester
Griffith recommended the burning Of
pine and hemlock slashings as a
means of conservation, saying 1t
would be the means of preventing
disastrous forest fires. He said the
time was not yet ripe for the burning
of hardwood slashings.
In reply TO a question by q. ID.
Jones, Wausau, Mr.. Griffith stated
that he believed the cost of burning
slash to be excessive if it was over 90
cents per 1000 feet.
Inasmuch as there is nothing on
which TO base the cost of this method
of disposing of slashing, the lumber
men Who appeared at the hearing
suggested that the state make an ex-
pertinent on section or half section
OF land.

DID NOT VIOLATE
RULES OF DEPARTMENT

BY United Press Leased Special Nire.
WASHINGTON. Sppt. 30.-AIajor-Gen-
eral Grant has not the slightest fear of
losing his commission in the army or
even Of being scolded by the Secretary
OF War, because he wore his uniform in
the temperance parade at Chicago last
Saturday.
The general. who arrived in Washing
ton 10 visit his son. Lieutenant L. s.
Grant, 3rd told a United Press reporter
that he did not regard the occasion as
political demonstration but rather a
movement for social oetterment and as
such there could be no possible objection
to his appearing in full uniform. He said
he was keenly interested in all such
movements and that he would appear
at any gatherings Of this sort at which
he felt his influence might be useful.
There is no army regulation regarding
the wearing of the uniform, upon which
criticism of General Grants action can
be based. An officer may wear his uni
form at all times if he likes. The regu-
lations merely stipulate tho occasions
upon which it is necessady TO appear in
uniform-while with troops and at cerc-
monial functions. General Grant, holds
moreover. that there is no precedent
which could be construed as standing in
the way of his action. He is enroute
from New York where he attended the
Hudson-Fulton Celebration TO his post in
Chicago. He will remain IN Washington

FOR CENSUS OF
MANUFACTURERS
EnumeratOrs TO Take lnven-
tory Of Nations Indus
tries January |.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The cen-
sus of manufactures, canvass for which
will be begun January 1, has since 1910
been one of the most difficult ques-
tions TO be met with in census taking,
according to Prof. Carroll w. Doten.
Professor Doten is one of the group
of college professors Of economics and
manufacturing who have advised Di-
rector Of the Census Durand as tol
methods of proceeding with this branch
of the census taking.
Professor Doten is the secretary Of
the American Statistical Association
and holds the second chair of economies
in the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. He has long specialized in lab
or problems. factory systematizing,
railroad economies and accounting.
From 1910, when the first attempt
was made to secure data concerning
industry" said Professor Doten, 'one
Of the most difficult problems involved
lin census taking has been in the census
of manufactures.
while It is the primary aim Of a
census now, as it has always been, to
take inventory of the nations resources
and productive capacity, still it seems
desirable to secure other economic and
social data at least as a by-product
Of this great enterprise. The United
states Census has come to be re-
garded as a model the world over, and
other countries are falling in line with
its methods. Its reports are more and
! more being used as a storehouse Of ma
, teral by economists and social invesii-
b gators not only in this country but
abroad. In view of these facts the com.
mittee has felt that no backward ster
should be taken at the present time
/ and that every legitimate effort should
! be put forth to secure accurate and
complete data in regard to wages,
, hours of labor and regularity Of en-
, ployment, as evidences Of the we'll
being Of industrial laborers.
quite as important, on the othei
hand, however, are the inquiries show
ing the improvements in machinery
and in the methods of organization
which make it possible to utilize oui
natural resources to the best advantage
