A NEW FEATURE.

Those who are seeking to have their
names printed on the official ballot
next fall will be confronted with a
new condition at the primaries in
September. Under the old law names
of candidates for each Office were ar
ranged in alphabetical order, and all
Of the ballots were printed alike, ex-
cept where two assembly districts in
one county made few changes neces-
sary. Thus if John Adams and Tom
Jefferson were candidates for nomina-
tion for the same Office, Adams was
supposed to have some advantage, his
name appearing first on the ballot.
The wooden heads non-intellect,
whose vacuum pate tells him to put
an X after the name of the first can
didate he sees on the ticket has cut a
large figure in elections. He signs
his name to commercial paper the
same way-with an X. To get away
from the influence of this fellow, the
last legislature passed two amend
ments to the primary election law
which reads as follows:
"For the purpose of determining
the order in which the names of can
ination papers have been filed in the
office of the county clerk shall be
placed on the primary ballot, the
olnply cl1oll lief Of
the election precincts of his county.
Such list shall be prepared by ar
ranging the various towns, cities and
villages of the county in alphabetical
order, and the wards or precincts of
each city, village or town in numeri-
cal order under the name of such city,
village or town. The precincts in
each assembly district within the
county shall be arranged in the same
manner"
''The county clerk shall arrange
the surnames of all candidates for
each office for whom nomination
papers have been filed in hiG Office
alphabetically for the first precinct
in the list: thereafter for each sue
ceeding precinct; the name appear
ing first for each Office in the last
preceding precinct shall be placed
last"
These amendments will have a
tendency to give each candidate,
where there are more than one, the
same advantage. A candidate has
heretofore had sample ballots printed,
with an Y after his name, and dis
tributed the same throughout the
county. He will now have to have
separate ballots printed for each vot-
ing precinct. The law also applies to
candidates on the state ticket, but
the rotation will be in assembly dis

j. A. UNDERWOOD.
One Of Wausau's Most Prominent Bust
ness Men Passes Away.

j. A. Underwood closed his eyes up
on earthly scenes last Wednesday
morning and passed into the slumber
of death. The end came at about
the hour of five that morning. At
his bedside we're his wife, his daugh-
ters Susan and Louise and Neil Camp
bell. The news of his death was a
severe shock to friends of the family,
for encouraging news had been given
out the day before which portended
recovery from the surgical operation
he had undergone.
Mr.. Underwood had been a sufferer
for number of years, due to an en-
largement of the prostate gland. Re
Gently his condition became aggra-
vated and physicians advised an oper-
alton for its removal, to which he
consented. He entered st. Mary's
hospital on the Thursday previous
and the operation was performed.
Following this his condition was
very critical for few days, when a
change took place and he rallied.
The day before his death he was able
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1910-08-02

to sit up awhile and took more nour-
ishment than previously, which was a
hopeful sign. Again at about mid
night of that day another change
came-not so encouraging. From that
time until the end he failed.
Jarvis Augustus Underwood was
born in Yonkers, N. Y, Jan. Is, 1887.
When a boy he moved with his par
ents to the vicinity of Fit. Edward,
n. Y, and there, some time later,
engaged in his first business enter
prise. He was married to Miss
Eunice Shopleigh June IA, 1860, at
West Lebanon, Me- They lived in
Ft. Edward until 1871, when they
moved to Glenns Falls, N. Y. They
resided there twelve years, when
they changed their residence to Ap-
pleton, Wis, making that city theiI
home until 1895, when Mr.. Under.
wood and family came to Wausau tc
live.
Mr.. Underwood at once became
identified with the business interests
of our city, and the family with oul
social life.

Well, we have been in the beauti-

WORK COMPLETED
About 10000 Acres of Swamp Land
In Marathon COUNTY Is Reclaimed

After about two years OF toll
the work of ditching the Dancy
drainage district has been completed
The job was finished the past week.
The work has cost approximately
S15O,OOO. About fifty miles of ditch
has been dug, draining an area OF
about 10000 acres. Foresthal & Down
ey of Milwaukee had the contract,
employing three dredge boats to do
the work, large Oh and two smaller
ones. The shovel of the large one lifted
three square yards of earth at every
jab. The boats dug their way through
the marsh, floating III the channel
they created. The main ditch runs
from point west of Rice lake to the
Wisconsin river, Strengthening out
the kinks in the Big Eau Pleine river
and in some places following the bed
of that stream. 1t is fourteen miles
in length and 80 feet wide at the top.
The smaller dredges dug 30 miles of
lateral drains, % feet wide at the top.
Phat section has heretofore been
practically worthless, but there are
evidences that it is now capable Of
raising excellent crops. 1t is a black
muck soil, which, it is said, holds
moisture. Farmers at the west end
of the district are raising crops this
year which have not been affected by
the drought and which look excellent.
While the land is capable of raising
almost any crop, it is particularly
adapted to root crops. Possession of
this land, we are informed, gives the
farmers an opportunity to raise crops
net generally raised in Wisconsin.
Experiments have been made around
Rice lake with peppermint and worm
wood, and both turned out excellent.
There is large profit to be derived
from these two products.
The opening upof these 10000 acres
may mean much to Marathon, Wood
and Portage counties, in which the
district is located 1t will make room
for a great many more farmers on
land easily cleared. Those who have
been instrumental in having the land
drained hope to see settlers tiocking
there ere long. So far, quite num-
Der have made purchases.
The first start towards the draining
of these lands was made number of
years ago, but before actual work
was started legal fight developed.
Contestants owning land in the dis
trict opposed the move for several
reasons, principal among them being
that the assessment for the work was
too heavy and that the benefit to be
derived would not warrant the eX-
pense. After being threshed over in
the courts for several years, Judge
Fowler of Portage rendered decision
giving the promoters the right to go
ahead with the work. Geo. Reynolds
of Marshfield, j. p. Malick of Stevens
Point and G. G.. Knoller of Dancy,
were appointed commissioners and a
contract was let, and today the work
is completed. 1t was big undertak-
ing-one of the largest of its kind
ever pushed in WiSconsin-and has
been completed in an incredibly
short time.

How to Wash Corsets.

To wash corsets first rip the fronl
seam OH both sides and take out the
steels. Then dissolve some soap jelly.
made by shrpdding half pound of the
best yellow soap in Il quart of boiling
water and Simmering until dissolved
in warm water. Two tablespoonfuls
of jelly to half gallon of water are
usually sufficient. but hard water may
require more. Put the corsets into the
suds and allow them to soak for five
minutes. Then spread them Oh a
board and brush thoroughly with n
we'll soaped nailbrush. dipping them
occasionally into the suds to remove
the lOosened dirt. When clean. rinse
through two lots Of warm water and
hang up to drip ury. When almost
dry iron on the inside with warm
fatiron and after thorough airing re-
place the front steels and sew them
firmly in. If this is carefully done the
corsets will emerge from the washtub
as good as new.

other greens may be planted by those
who are engaged in chick growing in
small way. but Il cheaper and more
feasible way Is to sprOut oats. Oats
are sprouted by being soaked in warm
water and allowed to remain in a
warm place for several days. They
are ready for feeding when the sprouts
are two or three inches long and are
devoured greedily by chicks Of all
ages. This absurdly simple idea has
been extensively sold as get-rich-
quick poultry scheme.
Young chicks should be provided
with grit of some sort Special care is
necessary to keep fresh water before
them at all times. The water dish in
the brooder ought to be partitioned off
in such a way that chicks can reach
their heads only to the water dish i;
otherwise they will get themselves
wet. The customary chick watering
fountain is made by inverting bottle
or can in shallow basin so that the
water will run out as the chicks re-
quire.
1t Is especially desirable that all
young growing poultry be given free
range. as there is no time in the life
of an animal when exercise and liberty
are so essential as during the growing
period. Chicks from the age of four
weeks to six months are very easily
taken care Of. as practically the only
loss during this period occurs from the
depreciation Of thieves. human or ami
NAL. II good rat tight coops are pro-
vided which are closed at night and
fresh water. grit and hoppers of beef
scrap and cracked corn are kept before
te chickens at all times they will
thrive upon the ranch ind need little
care.
