this fall, says the Dallas Times-Her-
aid. This statement, of course, il
not true Of all Texas agriculturalists
for many of them have demonstrate
ed their wisdom and judgment in
crop planting year by year. 1t seems
strange that some of their neighbors
do not profit by the experiences of
the successful men The low price
of cotton has forced hundreds of
North Texas farmers to plant winter
wheat and oats. The acreage in this
small grain Is probably greater than
ever before in this section. One adj
vantage Texas has over Northern
states is that our farmers may pillow
up their wheat fields in the spring.
If the grain crop is failure and re-
plant in corn Or cotton. The double
cultivation of the land makes it more
fertile for the second crop. During
the winter livestock find excellent
pasture on the wheat and oat lands
The recent rains have done much to
encourage the agriculturalists who
planted grain this fall and this en-
that has spread to the Texas bust
ness man. The Denton Record and
Chronicle in discussing crop condi-
tons, says:
Farmers generally agree now that
SEED has a better chance to mature
in the ground right now than it has
had this early at any time since the
floods of 1905 AS a result wheat,
some of which was believed to be
dead, has come out Of the kinks and
is flourishing. Wheat pasturage is
now matter of only short period

ducing the consumption of feedstuffs

drouth, are so scarce. We printed
some advice from a successful farm
err the other day-to plant more corn
and oats and less cotton the coming
year. Such advice is entitled to a
respectful hearing, coming from any
source; but, coming from mos suc~
cessful farmer himself, it is entitled
to more-to emulation 1t is, as he
pointed out, a fact, that the Texas
crop in both oats and corn, are al;
ways the first on the market, and
that means the sale of the Texas
crop on this years prices instead of

ing at the age of seventy-nine years.
A year ago last January he was taken
suddenly i'll with paralytic stroke,
and for time was quite i'll. During
the summer he recovered sufficiently
so that he was able to be about as
usual, but during the winter he began
to decline and for several weeks had
been confined to his home. He was
feeling fairly well yesterday up to
shortly before his death. He talked
with visitors who came to see him
and expressed himself as hopeful of
getting out soon. During the after
noon another stroke came on and at
4.45 he expired.

Ger, April %, 1882. He emigrated to
the United States in 1856, settling

until eleven years ago, when he moved
to Wausau. Three years after coming
here he followed blacksmithing. a
trade he learned when a boy. For
the past eight years he lived in retire
ment from any business activity.
He was married in October, 1860,
and last October he and his wife cele-
brated their golden wedding. Many
out of town guests were present at
that time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mohr were the parents
of ten children, seven of whom are
surviving: Mrs Edward Nichols,
city; August Mohr and Mrs. Ben
Bonberg, both of Augusta; Charles
and Conrad Mohr and Mrs. Fred UNI
brett, all of Columbia; Henry ]. Mohr,
Oak Park, Ill.
Shortly after coming to to this city
Mr.. Mohr formed the acquaintance

ANNUAL STOCK
HOLDERS MEETING.
The Wausau Telephone Company's An
nual Meeting Held on Tuesday
Evening.

:
Last Tuesday evening, in the super
visors' room of the court house, the
annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Wausau Telephone company was
held. Over two-thirds of the stock
was represented. The meeting was
called to order by Nathan Heinemann,
president, and the minutes of the last
annual meeting were read and ap-
proved.
g. ID. Jones made statement that
owing to a misunderstanding the an
nual report had not been completed,
so that it could be presented at the
meeting that evening, but that it
would be in readiness in few days
and published. But Mr.. Jones was
able from the figures taken from the
books, to give the business transacted
by the company the past year, all of
which was very satisfactory.
The matter of building new fire.
proof building, which the company
ordered a year ago, was taken up.
The directors had rushed matters to
try and get the work started last sea-
son, but were unable to do no more
than to secure the plans and adyer-
tise for bids. 1t was expected to put
about $4,000 into the building, but
it was found when bids were received
that it would cost at least $4,000,
and SO the matter was brought up for
discussion as to whether that amount
should be be put into the building ;
how the money was to be secured, etc.
1t Was finally ordered to have the
building constructed according to the
plans shown at cost of $4,000 That
there should be six per cent. bond
issue to cover the cost and ''that the
directors of this company be author
lied to sell the treasury stock of this
company amounting to $4,000 at the
par value of $4,000 per share to the
present stockholders to be prorated
according to the present holdings in
the company, which is one share for
each three held"
A paper was passed around and a
large amount of the treasury stock
was subscribed for.
The contract for the erection of the
building has not yet been let, but
arrangements will be made so as to
commence work early in the spring.
The following directors were re-
elected for the ensuing year:
DirectorS-Nathan Heinemann, G..
ID. Jones, w. w. Albers, James Mont
gomery and E. B. Thayer. The meet
ing then adjourned.
The directors met Immediately
after the annual meeting and elected
officers as follows;
President-N. Heinemann.
Vice-Pres.-E B. Thayer.
Treasurer-James Montgomery.
Secretary-W. W. Albers.
Counsel-G. ID. Jones.
The annual report will be published
in the PILOT in its next issue.

MEMS CLUB UNIVERSALIST
CHURCH.,

The regular meeting of the Mems
club of the Universalist church will
be held in the dining room of the
church on Thursday evening next
Feb. 10th. Supper will be served at
$50 O'Clock and all members are in.
yited to be present. A splendid treat
is in store for them. On that occa-,
sion Supt. Frank L. Randall Of st.
Cloud, Mimi, will make the address
of the evening. Karl Mathie, who
has had long acquaintance with Mr..
Randall says of him:
''Supt. Randall is at the head of the
Minnesota state reformatory tor boys,
which is located at st. Cloud. He be-
longs to that class of humanitarians
that believe in the inherent goodness.
of boys, if that goodness can only be
brought out through right treatment.
He is to speak on the New Penology,
a subject made famous by such men
as Judge Lindsey. Supt. Randall is
peculiarly fitted to give a rational,
helpful address. He has startling
ideas however, regarding the func-
lions OF trial judges, ana would take
away from them the imposition of
the sentence upon wrongdoers. He
thinks that the ordinary Judge is
usually unfit to suggest what should
be done TO reform a hayward or incor-
rigible boy.
f'Supt Randall also has progressive,
ideas concerning the care of boys and
girls committed to reformatory or
penal institutions, including the
whole subject of malformation OF
skull, as one of the causes of delin-
ouency. Most striking of all, how
ever, is that he traces many viola
ton of law back to the home, that
primal master of our destiny.
Not only is Supt. Randall full OF
electrifying ideas, but he is blessed
with the ability TO address an audience
in a magnetic and inspiring manner.
Every man that is in favor OF
a sane method of Furnishing
boys for their first offence, should
hear this lecture, for it will set
ont in bold relief the iniquity of
our modern procedure, which turns
BOYS into criminals instead self-re-
specting and self-supporting citizens.

LINCOLN CELEBRATION.

Cutler Post observed the anniyers-
airy of the birth of Lincoln with eX-
ercises yesterday afternoon in the
court room of the court house. Those
present were mostly veterans of the
civil war, and it is to be regretted
that more people were not present.
The speaker of the afternoon was NJ.
B. Rosenberg, who had carefully
prepared address, which, as many re-
| marked, should have been heard by
all our citizens. Mr.. Rosenberg
brought out those qualities of Lincoln
which have made his name revered
the world over, and which have caused
him to be recognized as of the highest
type of citizenship. His unfaltering
love of country and humanity, his I'M
dying devotion to this union, his wise
craftsmanship and patient mind in
trying situations were dwelt upon by
the speaker. He closed by reciting a
poem or rather an ode TO the death
mask Of the president.
The program was extended and
Judge A. I'll. Reid was called on. Mr..
Reid had come to the meeting as a
listener and was not prepared for an
address. He characterized Washing
ten as the father of his country and
Lincoln as the savior of the union.
He said that the one thing in the
lives of these two men that appealed
to him was the purity of their patri-
otism. Washington, reared in luxury,
and with everything to lose and moth
ing to gain, took up the brunt OF bat
tie and gave twenty-five years of his
life to his country, without one dollar
of recompense. OF Lincoln we know
more personally, for many are living
who remember his activities.
Judge Louis Marchetti was called,
and said that he, too, had not expect
ed to be summoned for an address
and what he might say could not be
taken as an address. He said he
wished that biio meeting had been
well advertised so that there could
have been large assemblage. To the
veterans of the civil war, he said, is
due in a large measure, the instilling
of patriotism in the minds Of the
growing generation. They have prov
en- patriotic in peace as well as in war,
and patriotism is needed as much in
commercialism as in times of trouble
on the field. Mr.. Marchetti's remarks
were directed mostly to the spirit
which has been characteristic of the
soldier since the war.
A rising vote of thanks was extend
ed to the speakers and the meeting
came to close.

FOUL TIPS.

A meeting Of club owners in the
NV. base ball league will be held in
Rochester, Mimi, March IA; a notice
to that effect having been sent out by
President Force. The purpose of
that meeting is to adopt a schedule,
which will be worked out in the
meantime. President Force has asked
each club to make known what holt
iday games it is desired shall be
played at home. The Wausau man.
agement will try to have two games
scheduled here for July 4.
AT this same meeting each club
will post its guarantee to play cut
the season, and the president will an
nounce his selection of umpires. One
of these will be man of the name
|Giesler who worked last year in a
state league He will work in the
WI. as well as in this league. Presi-
dents Mol and Force are going to
try this plan of exchanging umpires

discipline and satisfaction.
Up TO the present only few clubs
have chosen managers. Wausau is
one of the teams which is without a
head, but this is not bothering the
club officials, for Wausau probably
has less new material to pick up than
any other club.
Some of the club managers have set
to work gathering new material.
DARBY" O'Brien is reported to have
small regiment of recruits signed
up.
Eau Claire, Red Wing and Lacrosse
expect to get the kinks taken out of
their financial troubles within a short
time. In the latter city efforts are
being made to prevail upon John
Elliott to take the presidency of the
club. 1t has been said that if he ac-
cepts he will make ''Pink" Hawley
manager.
A fellow named Swanson has APP
piled for job on the WauSau team.
He says his principle qualification is
that he can run like ''hal."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Said 'Teach economy; that is one
of the first virtues. 1t begins with
saving money"
1t is. but fair and proper that we
should commemorate the birthdays OF
our great men. We can do this most
proftably by studying the history OF
their lives. 1t is. a peculiar incident
that really great men Of all times
have preached economy. 1t must be
for the reason that the stability OF the
individual, the home and nation rest
upon economy. 1t is and always has
been the purpose of the First National
bank to aid parents in their effort to
teach their boys and girls the habit
of saving money, earned either by
their own efforts or given them.
Take this time and occasion to i'm
press them still more with the i'm
portance of economy.

A NEW CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED

Arrangements are now being made
by the property owners in Forest
park to organize a club, Only the
property owners in Forest park addi-
tion are to be members. The inten-
tion of the club is to build hand
some club and boat house on the river
front. Brown & Gilbert have given
the property owners piece OF land
$50 by $50 feet long on the bank of
the river joining Forest park addi-
ton, which will be graded and beau
titled with lawns, hedges and flower
beds, and will be one of the very pref
" spots of our city when completed.
Invitations will be sent out TO all
property owners this week, giving
date of meeting which will be held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H.
Nablo. on Second street.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-02-14

the PILOT would suggest that owners
of property on Second and Main
streets get busy. Second street. graded
down from Forest, would lave very
easy incline and Main would have
scarcely any. In twenty years, with
a direct outlet to the SOUTH either OF
these streets would be prominent
business ones. Nothing can be done
by sitting down and dreaming but
what is necessary is to ''get there. :"
To secure Oak island for public
park; to bridge the Wisconsin river to
Oak island, this will be very short
and inexpensive BRIDGE; to extend
either Third, Second or Main streets
to the bridge and across Oak island
to Stroller's bridge and then to build
a good macadam road to Mosinee, on
the west side of the Wisconsin river,
would again place the south end OF
the original plat of the city OF Wau-
sau on the business map; it would
give Wausau the prettiest park in
Wisconsin and beautify our city I'M
mensely.
''This will require pile OF money,
some will say; very true, but the out
lay can be strung along for the next
100 years, but start should be made
sometime and there is no better OPP
portunity than the present.
At present Wausau has but one
direct outlet to MoSinee and that is
on the east side of the Wisconsin river.
This is all right so far as it goes, but
there is going to be large population
between here and Mosinee, mot to-
morrow, but in the next twenty years.
and first class road is needed for the
convenience Of those people and Wau-
sau and Mosinee will not be doing
their duty, if they do not open
direct thoroughfare on the west
side of the river.

FOR A LARGER WAUSAU.
Open up a Good Road South Across Oak
Island to Mosinee.

Last week the PILOT created quite
stir in proposing that Third street
be extended south to and across Oak
island to the road and bridge crossing
to the west SIDE of the Wisconsin
river, and our progressive citizens to
interest themselves in the building of
a good road on the west side of the
river to Mosinee. The feeling is al
most unanimous that an outlet should
be given our citizens in this direction.
Some have set their heart upon hay-
ing the city hall facing Third street,
and of course, if the owners of prop
erty along that street at the south
end, desire that this shall be done,
they will have to be let alone and
some other street. built up from this
source. There is one thing certain,
that, without grasping this oppor-
tunity, Third street has seen its best
days.
One who is "agin" the proposition,
says that tie city will never vote to
open up a street down on the fat and
across the island, the cost of which
would be fully S50,0O0 Well, suppos-
ing that it cost twice that much and
worked for the convenience of our
people and the upbuilding of our city,
the cost should not be considered
This same individual thought it pre-
posterous to propose constructing a
street With grade so steep as that
part of Third street would be-
If the street is properly con-
structed it would be no different than
Washington street is from Third to
the city hall. But where there is one
who is against extending Third street,
there are dozen who favor it, if the
proposition can be realized, and it can
be by the determined effort of few
men. If this move is not made by
Third street property owners, then
