WASHINGTON DINNER.

The Wausau club will give dinner
to its member next Wednesday even
ing, at the club dining room. Owing
to the fact that it comes on Feb. %,
it is called a Washington dinner"
The dinner will be followed by an
address on the "Tri-Science of Busi-
ness" by William T. COTE, who has
the reputation of being very able
speaker. He recently addressed the
United Commercial Travellers at st.
Paul, and the secretary of that society
says of him: "It is with pleasure we
bespeak for Mr.. COTE our high regards
personally and our deep appreciation
and thanks for his very clear, concise
alignment of psychological facts. We
wish we could have many more of
such exalted talks at our meetings"

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Editor Pilot
Being reminded that tomorrow is
the anniversary of G Washington's
birth, puts me in a thinking mood,
and | would like to burden you with
a few thinks. It seems to me that
we ought to divorce ourselves from
the Third street paving, the street
car company's double loop, the pro-
posed rendering stinkery and other
matters, just long enough to celebrate
that illustrious gentleman's birthday
Only two men have ever lived who
made the hatchet famous. Geo.
Washington was one; the other is
Carrie Nation. Georgia demonstrated
to the world that Tittle hatchet is
as destructive to a cherry tree as
gang of woodpeckers. Carries long
suit has been destroying mahogany
bars. Washington has many name
sakes, but no successful imitatOrS.
In his youth George wanted to go to
sea, but his mother objected She
told him he could stay at home and
see enough. At an early age he dis
tinguished himself in the French and
Indian wars, which is much better
than if he had extinguished himself
in those wars.
Having tired of mending his clothes
and using the back of Barlow jack
lypifo i'm fOrcipc~ a mazda tLrC,,oI, tho
waistband of his trousers, he decided
to marry. Being man of good judg-
ment he selected a widow. No chill
dren came to bless their union, SO
George did the next best thing-he
adopted the union. In other words,
Washington was the father of his
country by adoption. He believed in
revolution and evolution. 1t was his
firm conviction that if a country
didn't revolute it couldn't evolute.
Down in Mexico at the present time
they are OF the same opinion.
When Geoage went to the front
after independence had been declared,
he stopped to rest under every elm
tree between Yorktown and Boston.
The elm trees are still standing to
prove it.
One of the brilliant achievements
in the life of Washington-that of
crossing the Delaware when that river
was full of floating ice-is without a.
parallel. Eliza, in "Uncle Toms
Cabin" has often tried it, but never
equaled the feat. The trouble with
Eliza's ice is that it is hand made.
During the terrible winter at Valley
Forge, when his soldiers went with
out shoes, and when it was a long
time between rations, George indorsed
what Sherman said about war, when
he said it was what he said it was.
1t is said that Washington never
told lie. 1t may be true. If it is
ne certainly was disqualified from Civ
ing evidence in a Standard oil suit.

SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

Rural mail carriers are to receive a
salary of $1,000 per ye&r, beginning
July l next. This will be joyful
news to four Wausau men. There is.
not much money in the job at the
present rate of pay, after one has
paid for the keep of his horses and Of
himself and family, horseshoeing and
repairs to rig, etc. And it is not a
pleasant job at certain times of the
year
The city treasurer reports that
taxes are not coming in as fast as
they ought to. Even some of the
large concerns have made no remit
tance to date. All who pay now are
obliged to add three per cent, as a
penalty for not paying when the roll
was first opened. There is outstand-
ing about $40, 200. This must be paid
before March Is. At that time the
tax roll will be closed, and what then
remains outstanding will be returned
as delinquent.
The farmer who owns a farm is the
particular person who is fixed. Banks
may fail and factories close, work
men strike and mines suspend, mer-
chants fail and town burn, times
may be panicky and even crops may
be short-hut the farmer who owns
his acres will get along. He will live
in comfort and quiet. with plenty to
eat, drink and wear. He is the most
independent man on earth. Yet
there are lote of them who do not ap-
preciate their situation.
Word reached here Thursday even
ing that Henry Larson, residing at
521 Stark street, had been seriously
injured at Amigo. His family went
over the following day to his bedside.
Mr.. Larson is a sawyer and Went TO
Amigo about two weeks ago TO work
in the new mill of the Amigo Lumber
&C. Thursday afternoon, while set
ting down near the log roll waiting
for logs, he was caught ia the roll
and drawn against the frame work
with such force that his skull was
fractured and his arm injured. His
case is a serious one

THE FARMERS COURSE.
Great Interest Being Manifested and Promises of Large
Attendance

AS the days pass the interest i'm the
farmers course. which is to be held
in this city in March seems to grow.
There are ample assurances of large
attendance, but it is desired to have
every farmer and his wife present at
at least some of the sessions. Accom-
modations will be made for ALL
March 1879 are the dates, and the
sessions will be convened in the cir
cult court room of the court house.
No admission will be charged-every-
thing is free. Farmers are urged to
come to the city, do their shopping
and attend the meetings. They are
also urged to bring exhibits of grains,
grasses, root crops and fruit, and
compete for the prizes offered.
Lectures will be given daily by
practical men on practical subjects
on conditions which the farmer meets
every day. These lectures will be full
OF information and shall act as stimu
lus to those who. are farming by hand
instead of by head.
The evening lectures will be of a
more general character, and will in
terest the city residents as well as
the country people. On Wednesday
evening A. S. Alexander OF Madison,
win give an illustrated lecture on
'The Farming apd Live Stock of
Scotland" which viii be accompanied
by Scotch music. This has proved a
very popular lecture wherever deliv-
cred, and in most instances it has
drawn so well that halls have been
insufficiently large to accommodate
the people.
Two features which should interest

farmers will be rope splicing and
butter-making by F. r. Crane of
Menomonie and 0. j. Delwiche of
Madison, Practical demonstrations
will be given, so that farmers with a
little practice can do their own splic-
ing or make their own haltefs. Every
farmer who has a rope to splice is in
vited to bring the same.
The merchants of this city and
seed companies and different concerns
of the state have offered prizes on
grains, root crops and fruit grown in
Marathon county. Farmers are urged
to bring something end compete, and
show what can be produced here in a
season SO unfavorable as the past
vas.
Ten ears of corn and one quart of
grain viii constitute a sample. Grains
must be placed in glass jars, and all
exhibits should be entered March I,
the opening day, in the forenoon if
possible.
A quart vi pure bred Golden Glow
seed com will be given to each exhib-
itor by j. f. Kadonsky, principal of
tie county agricultural school, This
corn was raised on the county school
grounds, and is of very high quality.
The complete program for the three
days is given below. The ladies of
Wausau and Marathon county are
urged to look over that part of it
which deals with the home, and to
attend. They will find something to
interest them.

ANOTHER BANK STORY.

Smith bought some pigs from his
Jones. The price came to
s6.42. Smith paid Jones in cash, and
as usual neither had the proper
change, and Smith said: ''Just make
it even money" Smith lost cents.
Jones bought some pigs from his
neighbor Johnson. The price came
to s6.42- Jones had his money in the
bank and gave Johnson a check for
the exact amount. Jones did not lose
cent. This is only one of the ad-
yantages Of checking account. Come
in and let us explain further.

THE question of municipal own ership of the public utilities of this city is being discussed, and it is the consensus of opinion that the water supply and lighting plant should be the property of the city itself. THE NEWS believes that bond issue for the purpose of raising funds to purchase the water system would meet with the approval of the tax payers of Williams. The payment of these bonds would scarcely be felt, and this ownership would re. dound to the benefit of every inter- est of the city.

THE opportunities today are as great, if not greater, than fifty years ago for an active young man to rise up in the commercial and indus trial world. It took hard work and patience fifty years ago to locate the right road to success; the same requirements are still in vogue. The young man who begins at the bottom of the ladder and does his work we'll and willingly, and with stick to-itiveness is bound to reach the top of his coveted goal. The shiftless, irresponsible, happy-go- lucky and aimless youth will never climb very high on the ladder of success, and he has no business there-it's dangerous; he might have fall and give out altogether. The ups and downs to the ambi- tious youth are encouragements to try again, but harder than ever before.

THE year 1911 promises to be one of the most prosperous the country has experienced since the panic of 1907. The railroads will expend more money in the con struction of new lines and the bet ter equipment of old ones than for years past. If Arizona is so fortu- nate as to get statehood this year, and THE NEWS is inclined to be- lieve we will, period of prosperity will ensue that has never before been equalled. The eyes of thou sands of people ara turned Arizona ward, and when statehood is con- ferred there will be a movement of people and capital here that will make every portion of the new state flourish like the proverbial green bay tree.

In his infancy be is an angel; in his boyhood he was everything from human hyena to a pie-faced mutt. If he remains single he is selfish and lacking in his duties to posteritys If he mar ries and raises a family, he is a chump and easy. If he raises a check he is a thief and the law raises hades with him. If he is a poor man he is failure and has no sense. If he is rich he is dishonest, but copsidered smart. If he is in politics, he is a grafter and crook. If he isn't, he is neglecting his duties as citizen. If he goes to church, he is hypocrite. If he stays away he is a sinner, sure of everlasting damnation. If he do- mates to foreign missions and chari- tY, he is a four-husher and looking for notoriety. If he doesn't he is a grouch and tight wad.
 When he first comes into the world, everybody wants to kiss him. Before he goes out of the world everybody wants to kick at at him.

AFTER reading the opinions of some of Arizona's leading lawyers on the status of our constitution, THE NEWS is compelled to confess that it has gained but little enlight- eDment on the subject. There seems to be as great a divergence of views among the legal lumina- ries of the territory on this question as there was few years ago among the people when that important topic regarding the age of Ann was up for consideration.

THE significance of the move ment of 10000 soldiers to the Mex ican border can be appreciated when the cost is considered. This body of troops is equal to so per cent of the standing army before the Spanish war. It is as large an army as was utilized in the field in the war with Mexico. It is certain that the United States is not going to so much trouble and expense for maneuvers alone.
