For Larger WauSau.

The brief spring that ushers in our
summer weather, will be upon US
presently. Let the start be made
now by our common council to make
Wausau more desirable place to live
in during the summer. 1t is neces-
sary, both for health and for good
looks, that garbage be taken care of
by the city. 1t is utterly unprac-
ticable for the residents to do this in
any proper or sufficient way. What
is needed nO,o is not garbage crema-
tory or any other expensive plant.
We can wait few years for that.
At present, an ordinance compelling
all citizens to stow their garbage in
covered cans, within convenient reach
of an alley, and two or three men
with teams, to call around twice each
week, haul the stuff away and dump
it or bury it somewhere, will answer
the purpose while our city fathers
are looking up ways and means for a
permanent method.
Then there are the street crossings.
Let us not have them covered with
mud any more by the sprinkling
carts. 1t is enough discomfort to
wade in mud when it rains; that can't
be helped, and does not happen often,
nor last long whenit happens. Street
sprinkling lasts all summer, and on
many crossings it makes mud about
che inch deep all summer,-in the
way it has been done. 1t is, of course,
a little trouble TO three or four
drivers of these carts to shut off the
water while they are passing a cross
ing. Yes, it is some trouble for these
three or four men. But then there
are seventeen thousand people in
Wausau who walk over these muddy
crossings more or less every summer
day. Besides there will be a great
many visitors, transients, and people
coming to look us over and make up
their minds about Wausau as place
of residence.

Women and the Commune.

''The mad fury which seemed to
have taken possession of the mob in
Paris found its most enthusiastic ex-
ponents in the women, who were anx-
ious to proceed to the extreme meas
ures which the men deprecated"
writes Lady st. Heller in her book
Memories of Fifty Years" The or
ganized corps de petroleuses were a
savage crew, who had no feeling of
pity or mercy in their hearts and
would have sacrificed even those they
loved most dearly to the cause which
they had espoGse6 They co-operated
actively with the commune, deluging
what public buildings they could with
petroleum and then setting light to
them. and most of the fires that broke
out in Paris on the entry of the troops
originated through their action. They
went down into the streets and fought
at the barricades, showing superhu-
man courage. and when one of the
great fights took place at the barri-
cade in the Rue de la Paix, which was
defended by the communists, the first
person to mount it and to hoist the
red dag of the revolution was a wo-
man"

Does Wisconsin Want An Income
Tax Law?

Yes-a certain kind, but not one
made in Germany or one patterned
after any other foreign law. The
conditions in our state are SO differ
ent from those in Europe that we
should not and cannot use their
goods Wisconsin, with its vast
areas of undeveloped lands, with its
great quantities of other varied natur-
al resources and opportunities, can
not afford to cucumber itself with
laws which will hamper her develop
ment and take away the incentive of
her people TO make the utmost of the
opportunities that are about them.
And this is what the proposed in
come tax law will most certainly do.
1t will take away all the "git and
grit" so necessary to the upbuilding
of new enterprise. 1t Will keep
away from our borders the home
builder we are at the present time so
anxiously seeking, and made for
naught all money and effort that is
being spent at this time by the Wis
consin advancement association. An
income tax like the one proposed is
all right for people who are not
property owners and never will have
an opportunity to acquire property.
In Germany, for instance, hundreds of
thousands of her people never have
and never will own one single cent of
taxable property, and under such con-
ditions it will readily be understood
that an income tax is the only remedy.
But conditions in America are SO
different from those of foreign coun-
tries. We want every man to be-
come property owner; we want him
to be homebuilder; we want our
cities well favored with manufacture
ing plants; we want our country
dotted with numerous farms; we want
everybody to prosper; and for that
reason we want laws which will en-
courage thrift and enterprise. Will
the income tax law as now proposed
give our people this encouragement
Will it help to bring new people to
our state? AMERICA.

FINE WEED.

Ed. lehman has been exhibiting
to his friends of late some very fine
tobacco grown on Marathon county
soil. 1t was raised on land he owns
in the southern part of the city and
is of the crop of 1910. He raised sew
eral hundred pounds. Judges of to-
bacco who have seen it pronounce the
leaf to be the equal of any grown
down in the tobacco belt in southern
Wisconsin. He has made sale of
$50 pounds to local cigar manufac-
turer, and has several hundred pounds
left. The cigar manufactures will
work his purchase up into smokes, so
that his customers will have an oper-
tunity of testing the worth of Mara
thon county "Havana."
The raising of tobacco is fraught
with many difficulties, and it requires
an experienced person to handle it
from the time the seed is planted I'M
til the crop is baled. Most people are
of the opinion that this locality is
not adapted to tobacco raising be-
cause of late and early frosts. Several
people have experimental and dis
proved this. Some farmers have raised
crops for their own use year after
year and never had failure. 1t is a
short growing or rather fast grow
ing crop and requires only few
weeks to develop. After it is har-
vested is when the greatest care must
be exercised the curing process.
Until recently the present winter
has been poor one for curing the
weed, on account of the long contin-
ued cold weather. 1t can be handled
only in warm or moist weather and
cannot be cured when the air is frosty.
When the first warm days in winter
come tobacco raisers work fast, in
some instances all night, as was the
case few days ago down in the Ed
gerton tobacco district, so as to cure
their crop and get it onto the market.
Mr.. Heiman firmly believes that
conditions here are suitable for the
culture of this weed, and intends to
raise another crop next season, per-
haps on larger scale.

Misses Title Cohen, Henrietta Sauer-
herring and Agnes Bury whose stand
ings were also above IS.
The unusually high standings and
the large number of over s. standing,
put the class of 1911 up among the
first of the Wausau high school classes
and way above any Of the others that
have graduated in the last few years.
Miss Hitchcock was a visitor in
the high school on Thursday and Fri
day.
The Northeastern Teachers Assn
meeting, held at Oshkosh the latter
part of last week was success, and
was attended by large number Of
Wausau teachers, among whom were
the following:
Supt. Tobey, Prin. Parlin, Mr..
Glenn and Misses auckland, Sustins,
Brady, Dehos, Lewis, Mabel and Jean
Vincent, Chase, Botsford, Colby,
Bessey, Kummerow, Gibbon and Cyr.
Miss Mabel Vincent was compelled
to remain at her home in Oshkosh,
for few days on account Of the III
ness of her mother, and Miss Nc
Guine is supplying her place in the
Washington school.

MARATHON co. PRESS ASSOCI-
ALTON.

Last evening the first move towards
reyiying the Marathon County Press
association was made. This asSocia-
ton was organized in January, 1902,
and was composed of all the news
paper owners in Marathon county,
There were only few meetings held
during that year and since it has lain
dormant. A meeting of the news
paper owners in the county was called
for last evening at the Wausau Pilot
office and besides those living in the
city there were present: B. Z. Walters,
of the Mosinee Times; Frank Luesch-
en- of the Marathon Times and E. B.
Crawford of the Edgar News. b. E.
Walters was chosen temporary chair
man and E. B. Thayer, Sec'y. 1t was
voted to hold another meeting on the
evening Of Saturday, Feb. 18th.

A Good BIZ.

A bill giving counties the authority
to erect and maintain sanatoria for
the care Of advanced cases of tuber-
culosis, and also providing state aid
for such institutions, was introduced
in the legislature last Saturday. The
bill was sanctioned and is being en-
Enthusiastically advocated by the leg
islative and educational publicity
committees of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis association. AT present
counties have no authority to appro-
pirate money for tuberculosis sana-
toria. The bill gives this authority
and also provides for the payment by
the state TO each county maintaining
such an institution of S. per week
per patient who is county charge.
All patients who are able must pay
their expenses in whole or in part.
1t is believed by those who have been
in Madison that there will be Ia OPP
position to that part of the bill grant
ing counties the authority to erect
sanatoria, while an appropriation of
a. least go, 900 a year for the states
share of their maintenance is believed
to be assured. The bill will place the
care of Wisconsin conSumptiveS on
much the same plan as the present
combined care of the insane by the
county and state. The state Sana-
forum for the care of incipient con-
sumptives at Wales is entirely made
ouate to meet the demand. The eS-
tabliShment of county institutions is
expected TO relieve the state inStitu-
tion of this big overflow OF patients.
DIR. j. w. Coon, superintendent at
Wales. has said that 1850 beds are
necessary TO care for all the cases of
tuberculosis which seek admission at
his institution.
Should this bill pass it ought to
prove an incentive 10 have the Mara
thon county sanitarium, proposed at
the last meeting of the county board,
built the coming season.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Wausau high school basket ball
team won the Wisconsin valley
championship last Saturday afternoon
in one of the hardest games ever
fought in this section. This was the
victory over Grand Rapids which is
the first time in four years that a
Wausau basket ball or foot ball team
has defeated Grand Rapids. Our
champions have not lost game this
season, having defeated five teams.
The second team, which played the
Grand Rapids second, also brought
home a victory. The first half of the
game was little in favor of Wausau,
the score at the end being 1913 in
its favor. Johnson made six baskets
in this half. Thielke who started out
at center, while doing fine passing
and field work was unable to keep his
man Buckley from scoring, and in
the later part of the half Turner, off
of whom Buckley got but one basket
the rest of the game, replaced him.
In the second half Grand Rapids
gradually worked up and a basket by
Smith in making the basket banged
up against the wall and laid himself
out. He was back again in a couple
of minutes and the game was resumed.
A double foul was called and Piper
alone dropped the ball in tying the
| score, 1922, and so the score stood
when time was called minute later.
1t was decided to continue the
game, the first team getting points
to win. A foul was called on Wausau
by Umpire Swaziland, but Smith,
who was throwing free throws for
Rapids failed to profit by it. Schnel-
Ter, who was refereeing, called foul
on the Rapids and Piper dropped the
ball in.
The hearts of the supporters of
both sides were continually in their
mouths, for the shots for either
basket were very frequent, and time
and time again one side would start
to cheer only to change it to a groan,
when the ball missed the basket by a
hairbreadth. The ball, however was
down at the Wausau end of the field
more than at the other and the Wau-
sau team was playing around the
Rapids. Schneider at last called an
other foul on the Rapids and Piper
was given the ball for the free throw,
that was to win the game. Deliber-
ately he took the ball, walked to the
line hesitated and then with both
crowds holding their breath, dropped
it in, and the game was won 1892.
The teams with the number of field
baskets made by each man are;

The results were as follows:
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1911-02-14

Piper got 10 out of the Is free
throws and Smith out of the same
number. AS the field baskets made
| by the two teams are equal, twelve
apiece, it was just this difference in
the free-throwing that won the game.
The second team ran away with
the Rapids second team defeating
them. The Wausau seconds were:
Montgomery James G
Brown Eggebrecht
Sampson f LYMAN sub.
A very large crowd of Grand Rapids
people, mostly students attended this
matinee performance and this
swelled by over thirty from Wausau,
filled the gymnasium to over crowd
ing. Among those who went down
from this city to support the team
were: E. e. Ramsdell, Walter Liv-
ingston, Charles Gilbert, Ben Alex
ander, Archie Spatz, Jack Burt, Carmi
Vaughan, Harold Ingraham, Walker
Boswell, Walter Daily, Jack Melon
aid, Wallace Miller, John Manson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Genrich, Miss
Helen Genrich, and Fred Genrich, Jr.,
F. W. Hilgensdorf, Mrs. G. d. Jones,
Misses Vogt, Stoddard, Hester Jones,
Jeanette Reid, Ruth Albers, Helen
Coates, Constance Harger, Marion
Wilson, Helen Stone, Maude Messer-
vey, Jean Boswell, Pearl Rumpf,
Mary Anderson, Emily Smith and
April Ellis.
Most of the above named returned
Saturday night, but few remained
and returned Sunday noon. A good
share of these would have stayed over
| but for the fact that the Rapids did
not give the dance which they had
planned, because, as they said, they
understood the ''papas and mammas"
of Wausau wanted their children
back that night.
Next Friday the basket ball season
here will wind up with a game with
Waupaca high school. Waupaca is
reported to have strong team, but
our fellows expect to end the season
with the sixth victory.
Much to the surprise of the Senior
class, their request to be allowed to
have their Baccalaureate address in
the st. Stephens church, was met
with an emphatic refusal from the
management Of that church. This is
very unusual as it is the first time
that any church has been anything
but pleased to have been honored by
the graduating class.
The commencement opera this year
will be 1.-THE Little Tycoon" Miss
Lentz and a faculty committee will
select the cast.
Miss Agnes Bessey, principal of the
Longfellow school was i'll Wednesday |
and her place was supplied by Miss |
McGuine.
The water in the high school was
shut off, on account of stcppage in
the pipes, on Wednesday and part Of /
Thursday.
Five dozen kindergarten chairs have
been purchased for the new building.
The name for this building the new
Sixth ward school will soon be de-
cided upon.
Supt. Milne, Prin. McCreary and
Mr.. Muir, physics teacher, all from
the Merrill high school, called at the
high school between trains on Thurs
day enroute for Oshkosh.
The vaIedictorian for the class of
1911 will be Miss Ruth Tobey, she
having gotten the highest average
standing for her high school course.
Her average was 93.07. Miss Caro-
line Lund is next with 92.45 and she

The game which the Y. NJ. c. A.

Normal was walk-away for the. Y
NJ. G. A. The Normal team was able
to make but a very few scattered
baskets, while the 'sY" team shot the
ball in at will. The final score was Al
to 10.
The Y. NJ. c. A. team was some
what changed about. the lineup
being: Young, c.; Sipes, f.; Ringle, f.;
Wegner, g.; Lampert, G.
The RIGHTEOUSNESS men game
which was played as a preliminary to
this, was very interesting. The bust
ness men being in better training
defeated the faculty team, but not
without hard fight. The Runkles,
forwards for the faculty, played rings
around the business men, but had
been out of practice SO long that they
did not get many baskets. Schneider,
who was playing center for the
faculty, was as usual the star of the
game, but Middleton, the business
mems center, was not not lar behind
him. The score at the end of the
first half was lis, and the final score
24-9, both in favor of the business men.
The teams consisted of:
