SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In Wausau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. f. Ross and Mr..
and Mrs. d. c. Everest entertained a
number of their friends last Wednes-
day evening at bal-masque, given at
the Country club. The guests assem-
bled at about $50 O'Clock and were
welcomed at first by dummy figures
and later by the hosts and hostesses.
Each guest was dressed in fancy
costume and masked, and the fore
part OF the evening was spent in
guessing who the different characters
were. Mrs. Russell Lyon, in quaint
ol5-fashioned dress, received the
homer Of having the best ladies' cos
hume, while M. P. Mccullough, as a
Swedish girl, was chosen as having
the best costume among the gentle
men. Dancing was the order of the
evening and later supper was
served. The event taking place on
April lst, the usual number of jokes
and lake offs'' were played on the
guests, both during the dancing pro-
gram and the supper and the carni-
val spirit was heightened by the use
of confetti and other appropriate
favors in accordance with the day.
One amusing incident connected with
the evenings fun was a joke perpe-
trated upon the hosts and hostesses.
A strange lady appeared upon the
scene masked and in costume Many
looks were cast in her direction and
many wondered who she was; but the
lady kept her own counsel and when
the time came to unmask managed
to place herself in front of Mrs.
Everest, who was greatly surprised
to find that the intruder was her
sister, Mrs. Earle of Muncing,
Mich. Mrs. Earle had heard of the
party and came to Wausau on the
evening train. She dressed at the
Hotel Bells and was accompanied to
the party by DR.. and Mrs. S. NJ. B.
Smith who of course were in the
secret. 1t was a successful capri
Fool and added greatly 20 the even
ing's fun. The function proved to
be one of the most enjoyable events
of the season.

vocal number by Mrs. P. l.. Sisson
and duett by Miss Montgomery and
Mrs. Sisson.
The closing party of the younger
pupils of Miss Cornelia McCrossen's
dancing class, took place Saturday
evening at Castle hall. 1t was a
mask party and all attended in
costume. There were about twenty
couples on the floor and the galleries
were filled with spectators. The
grand march formed shortly after s
O'Clock and was led by Miss Cornelia
Mathie and Jennings Alexander.
There were quite number of sur
prises when time came to unmask.
During the evening, Miss McCrossen
and Jack Burt gave an exhibition of
number of new dances which added
very much to the pleasure of all
present. 1t was very delightful
event and especially enjoyed by the
young people.

PREDICTS ORANGES ACTION.
State Convention at Monmouth to
Discuss Many Things.

The forty-frst session of the Ore
gon State Grange will convene at
Monmouth, next Tuesday. The ses
sion will continue four days, closing
Friday evening. In outlining some of
the things that will be done by the
meeting, the Pacific Grange Bulle-
tin says:
"There will be "some resolutions "
this year being election year. The
present tax collecting system. will be
blown to-atoms. The $1,000 tax ex-
emption will look about as sick as a
last years potato when they get done
with it. Doing away with the senate
will get a good boost; likewise the
proposition to give the governor veto
power on appropriation bill items.
The question of raise in road tax
will be handled without mittens, and
general appropriations will be slash
ed to slithers. In fact, when they
get done with some of the commits
sions the ruins will look like a Chi
cago slaughter house, minus the
blood, and there will be no knives
used, either. just pen and ink and
lead in a pencil. Then that 8-hour
law for farm laborers is likely to
need ventilation.

TRAPS TO CATCH PESTS.
Fly Superintendent Miles Institutes
Campaign Anew,

The Commercial club and the Wo-
mans club, two organizations that
Dallas could not dispense with with
out retrograding, have renewed their
efforts to eliminate the disease breed
ing fly, with Secretary w. E. Miles
as superintendent of the campaign.
1t is the purpose of the undertaking
to make Dallas absolutely fyless, and
to this end a large number of traps
of an approved design has been or
dered by the fly superintendent, and
these will be distributed among the
merchants of the city for use in their
respective establishments. The trap
is patterned after one recommended
by DR.. Hodge, an authority on fly
elimination; and is about two feet
high, two feet long and fifteen inches
wide. Once a fly enters the trap it
is doomed to die. Every housewife
will be invited to install in her home
a fy-catching apparatus of some char
acter, while the sterner sex will be
urged to have at least one trap in
the barn.
There is much logic in DR.. Hodge s
statement that the fly should be i'm
prisoned instead of people. Screens
are placed upon doors and windows,
giving freedom to the pests, whereas
the contrary should be the rule. The
proposed traps will confne the flies.

DAVIS COST BILL PAID.
Trial of Once Convicted Man Takes
Sill From Treasury.

Through an order of the Supreme
court the County court at its regu-
lar monthly session last week paid the
cost bill in the Louis w. Davis case,
the same amounting to Sill. 1t will
be remembered by readers of The
Observer that Walter j. Tooze, Jr.,
was appointed to defend Davis, he
being without means. Davis who is
charged with having murdered Eliza
Stewart of Ballston, was convicted
of murder in the second degree. The
lower court overruled motion for
a new trial, but the Supreme Court
reversed its decision, and Davis sec
ond trial will come before the August
term of court if a change venue
is not asked for and granted. There
is a probability that an effort will
be made to take the case to Marion
county on account of sentiment being
unfavorable to the defendant in Polk.

STUDY OF GOOD ROADS
LITTLE ATTENTION THE YEAR
THROUGH Is PROFITABLE.
Some Interesting Figures Concerning
Benefits Derived from I'm
proved Roads.

The cost of hauling over country
roads is largely determined by the
size of the load that can be hauled
the number of trips that can be
made in day and the wear and teal
on teams and equipment. STEEP
grades, as well as ruts and mudholes
serve to decrease both the speed and
the load. On the principle that ga
chain is no stronger than its weak
est link" the maximum load that a
team can draw is the load that it can
draw up the steepest hill or through
the deepest mudhole on that road
In studying the relations of grade
to distance, the following principle
offered by a good roads student
should be born in mind: To lift a
ton one foot high requires 5000 foot
pounds of energy; on road, the sur
face of which offers 100 pounds of
tractive resistance per ton, the same
energy would roll the ton horizontal
distance of 20 feet. To save one
foot of grade the road may therefore
be heightened 20 feet. The elimina-
tion of one or two steep hills on a
line or road will frequently enable
horses to draw three or four times
as much as they could draw on the old
road
In order to dispose of storm water
quickly before it has time to pene-
trate deeply into the surface, the road
should be properly crowned. For an
earth road which is "a feet wide, the
center should be not less than six
inches nor more than IL inches high
er than the other edge of the shoul-
ders. The total fall of grade from
center to side ditch should be about
an inch to the foot. The main
thing to bear in mind in building cul-
verts is that they should have suffic
lent capacity to quickly dispose of
the miximum flow of storm water,
and that they are given sufficient
slope or fall to keep themselves clean.
Because Of its simplicity, its eflic-
iency and cheapness, the splitlog drag
is an excellent device for, maintain
ing earth and gravel roads.
The best results have been obtained
by dragging once each way after
each heavy rain. In some cases,
however, one dragging every three or
four weeks had been found sufficient
to keep a road in good condition. The
dror done itc host work WHEN tha

SEPTIC TANK NECESSARY.
People Must Provide Ways and
Means for Its Construction.

On June 10, at special election,
the voters of Dallas will decide upon
an amendment to the charter giving
the city council power to issue $1,000
in bonds for the purpose of construct
ing a septic tank and changing the
sewer outlet. The State Board of
Health, after carefully considering
the matter, ordered the city to dis
continue spilling its sewage into the
Rickreall river, which order must be
obeyed within a reasonable time. 1t
would therefore appear that the con-
struction of the proposed septic tank
is the only solution of the problem,
and must be built even though the
amendment is lost at the coming
special election.
