THEY ARE AFTER
GARDENERS
Save Natures Beauty Spots.-0nly a
Few Left.

Unless something is done immedi-
ately, at least part of Gardeners will
be waste spot within few months,
as negotiations are under way to sell
the timber for commercial purposes.
One by one we are allowing natures
beauty spots to be ruthlessly destroyed
by the ayarice of man who sees moth
ing more than dollars and cents in
the things that make life worth living,
that bring health and happiness to
mankind. The beauties of old Rib
Mountain have been destroyed, the
south peak of Mosinee Hill is a ruin,
Rothschild's has been commercialized,
Stewards islands have lost their at
Effectiveness, the Dells on the Eau
Claire are becoming unattractive, and
for the past two years the destructive
bent of man has had his eye on Gard
ners, nine miles below Wausau, on
the Wisconsin river. The PILOT can
not add anything to what every
man, woman and child knows about
the beauty of Gardeners, the home of
the pine, the arbutus and the blue
berry. The place where our citize4-s
for many years past have spent SO
many happy hours away from the
noise and hurry of city life. 1t is
place, near by, where one can go to
and get away for a little while at
least from the busy life of cares and
worries Of the week days to gather in
sunshine, health and strength for
new weeks work and toll. Here is
where the children have gone to revel
to their hearts content in natures
garden, unconsciously acquiring love
for the beautiful and the great out of
doors.
Are we going to allow the hand of
man to destroy this the last one of
our beauty spots; planted by the hand
of God himself. Ye men and
women of Wausau, will you sit by
and allow the things which bring
health and happiness and make life
worth living in these grinding, heart
less days of ours, to be wiped out fol-
ever? Someone start a Gardner Park
association and then find some way
to preserve this beautiful piece of
pine woods. Many of our city and
Mosinee will donate money, the land
on the bank of the river can be leased
for number of years for cottages.
The property will always increase in
value. If the association can not get
enough interested and is forced it can
let it go. But now is the time to do
something If we want to save it.

DEATH OF MRS. LAKE.

Word was received by friends yes
terday morning of the death of Mrs.
g. w. Lake of Madison, who died the
night previous of heart trouble. The
sad news was very startling to the
family's many friends in Wausau.
Mr.. Lake and family, for many years,
made Wausau their home. They con-
Quoted "The Naples" for several
years, and it was filled with teachers
and others of our city, who found
there a veritable home. Mrs. Lake
was possessed of the most gentle and
kindliest of natures, this coupled
with good common sense and an in
exhaustible store of pleasant humor
made her host, indeed, and those
who knew her best mourn most
deeply her sudden deaCh.
She was about tifty-iiye years of age
and is survived by her husband and
one son, Earl, and one daughter,
Miss Dora. Mr.. and Mrs. Lake left
here several years ago to live in Mad
ison TO be near their children who
were being educated in the state
university.

Little Mothers and Fathers

A book has lately been published
which attempts to prove that child
labor under certain conditions is not
disadvantageous to the child. In
stances are given which are rather
convincing. These cases DO not prove
that children ought to work in fac
tories. And yet the author is wise,
very wise in this: that he recognizes
the value Of responsibility to the
child. / have been deeply touched
within the last week or two by some
little fathers and mothers Of my &C
quaintance. They are the children
of a janitor in an apartment house.
The care they give one another Is no
less than beautiful If these children
don't grow up to be better men and
women than do the inexperienced
children Of the rich, my judgment Is
decidedly at fault.-New York Press.

given to the winning team, but this
must have to be won three times by
the same school before permanent
possession of it is given.
The high school notes may be
somewhat out of whack and very
meagre this week because of the ill

tertainment yesterday afternoon and
evening which was greatly enjoyed by
the large audience in attendance.

ment this afternoon and this evening

opticon lecture at the Longiellow

DEATH OF MRS. SYNN0TT
Passed Away at the Home of Her Son
on Grand Ave. on Tuesday.
April 20.

OF six months, from ailments Incident
to advanced age. She was residing

full of energy. She had reared a
large family; all growing up into
stalwart men and women, each striv-
ing to make the declining years of
their mother filed with happiness
and contentment. Mrs. Synnott had
long since passed the years usually
allotted to man, and her great inter
est pertaining to those who were
near and dear to her made her ever
prominent in the family circle as well
as in a wide circle OF friends down to
the very last moments CT her life.
Mrs. Synnott was born in Ireland
on the 22nd day of February, 1929, and
at the time of her death she had
reached the good old age of "a years
and two months. She came to Amer
lea with her parents when a child of
two years. They settled in Eastern
Canada where deceased resided until
she and her husband came to Wausau
in 1880. A year later Mr. Synnott
died, since that time Mrs. Synnott
has continued to reside in Wausau.
She is survived by four sons and five
daughters, as follows: Mrs. Hugh
German, Buckingham, Canada; Mrs.
John Crane, Merrill; Mrs Hugh Nc
Donald, Seattle; Matt Synnott, Gran
ite Heights; Frank, William and
John and Elizabeth Synnott, and Mrs.

Use Of the Toothbrush.

On the subject Of the toothbrush a
grea. deal has been written OF late.
Some condemn il as septic and use
less instrument, and demand that 1t
shall-be either boiled or soaked in
very strong antiseptics every time
after usage. Others still hold that
regularity in the use Of the toothbrush
is one of the cardinal virtues, and win
be rewarded by an undecayed set or
teeth. Probably the truth lies some
where between the two extremes; the
toothbrush regularly used is valuable.
