THE GIVING OF GIFTS.

If one is going to give Christmas
present it should be with cheerful
heart. If you can't give in this spirit
do not give at all. We give presents
to relatives and friends at Christmas
because we derive pleasure from such
giving. In the giving of Christmas
presents there should be none of that
spirit which suggests commercialism.
There should never be any expecta-
tion of a reciprocity. The giving Of
a Christmas present should be from
the heart. The present itself counts
for little. The spirit and motive
which prompt the giving are all i'm
portant.
Now that Christmas shopping is
again in full sway, and local mer-
chants are showing an unusually
choice line of goods appropriate for
the holiday season-from floor to cell
ing the stores being crowded, the as
sortments are so temptingly arrayed
that you just simply can't resist.
"Work for Wausau" should be the
thought when planning your purchas-
es. Do not carry or send your money
to the larger cities. Our merchants
need and are entitled to your trade.
No public enterprise in launched
but what your home merchants is
asked to contribute. No donation or
subscription list is circulated but
what your Wausau business man is
sure to give literally. With stocks
so complete as our merchants carry
| there is no excuse for out-of-
town trading. See those beautiful
arrays in the show windows, and in
side of the stores in show cases, in
cabinets, on shelves and counters-in
fact everywhere, aren't they charm
ing, superb, tempting and enticing ?
Go to them, get busy and buy early.
So blessed be the spirit of Christ
mas Exercise it during the closing
days of December and yoI can't help
tbut be better for it, and you cam t

MEETING POSTPONED
OF Northern Wisconsin Development
Association Scheduled For Superior.

The meeting of the Northern Wis
consin development association,
which was scheduled to take place in
Superior, Dec. s, 9 and 10, has been
postponed on account Of the inability
OF many of the members and direct
ors to attend, and will not be held
until some date after January 1.
Several local men are members of
this organization, which was formed
for the purpose of opening up north
ern Wisconsin for migration, and
to furtner the interests of this Sec
tion of the state.
The postponed meeting was to take
up the question of migration, par
ticularly the stimulation of imi-
grafton from Belgium, Flanders and
southern Germany, and the methods
of handling and distributing them to
the best advantage. This was also a
reason for the postponement, as more
time is needed in which to make in
vestigations, secure data and prepare
plan of action. The association
feels that this is question OF great
Importance, and will devote much
time and thought,to the carrying out
of it's plans.-Superior Telegram.

SHOULD ORGANIZE.

Potato growers are getting low
pice this year for their crop. The
PILOT has often wondered why the
raisers of potatoes in this locality
did not organize and get away from
the buyers and not be at their mercy.
On this subject the Oconto Enter
prise has the following to say:
Why this talk, thruodt the North
ern part of the state, about potatoes
being 20 cents bushel The mark
ct reports show that potato prices
are for, wisconsin, Minnesota or
Michigan, red stock, fancy, sacked,
per bu. 40 at 45c; white stock, As at
soc; Michigan, fancy, white, IS at soc;
home grown, as to size, IS at 55c.' y
And these are good prices. 1t is we'll
known that, for time, it seemed as
if rot would seriously affect the crop
and in some sections did to a certain
extent. This interfered with ship
ments and demoralized the potato
market temporarily but the price of
potatoes is now compensating.
1t is just possible, however, that
the Chicago commission men have
made money making combination
on potatoes, if they have the farmer
is, to that extent, victimized. Some
weeks ago potatoes were being sold
by the car load in Waupaca at 80
cents. They were retailing then in
Oshkosh for 80 cents. The managers
of the Wire Grass company there
bought three car loads and sold them
to their employees at cost, 45 cents a
bushel.
There is no good reason why con-
diticn should not be brought about
where the potato grower may con-
tract a season ahead for his potatoes
the same as the sugar beet growers
do.
If the farmers took the same in
terest in organization as other busi-
ness men do the price of potatoes
would take care of itself.

WASTING OUR LIVES.

stead of taking care that we have
time for real comfort and home hap
piness. What have we, after all, to

nerve in time, to keep up the race
How much better it would be to
lead simpler lives, To keep little
away from the outer edge of our in

not bring happiness, heaping up

HUNDREDS RECEIVE
HOLIDAY CHECKS
All Members of the Christmas Saw
ings Club ofthe National German
American Bank Receive Their
Deposit Plus Interest Last Friday.
Means a Boon to the Merchants and
the Shoppers.

Thousands of dollars were put into
circulation in Wausau, last Friday
when the National German American
Banks Christmas Saving Fund sent
out its checks to hundreds of its
members. Members of the Christmas
Club who had acumen last year to
look year ahead, received the re-
ward OF their thrift. H. G. Flieth,
cashier of the National German
American Bank, has been busy man
signing the hundreds of chec';s which
ranged in value from S12 so 90 S63.75,
according to the class each member
entered.
These checks coming right at
the Christmas season, means a boon
to the merchants and shoppers. Any
of the local merchants will be glad to
cash these checks, which are in the
same form as the common bank check,
except for the fact that they bear a
picture of an up-to-date Santa Claus
who is driving an automobile.
The next years club will open
Monday, December 2lst, at which
time many new members will be per-
mitted to join. This club has taught
many people how TO save small
amounts, without whose aid they
might be unable to purchase presents
for the friends they wish to remember.
Many memberships are kept up by
husbands for their wives as a present,
and parents keep up the payments for
their sons and daughters in the club
1t is anticipated that the club will be
an unusually large one next year, as
another class has been added to the
four classes already existing, namely
5 A Class, wherein one makes de-
posit of 81 so the first week, and re-
duces it 5 cents each week for so
weeks. This club is indeed a "Work
for Wausau" Club in every sense of
he word. adv.

COOLING DOWN
The War at Eau Claire Over the School
Girl With Flowing Curls.

For few weeks past there has
been real hot time in the high
school at Eau Claire 1t seems that
principal Jack took occasion tc chide
16-year old girl for wearing her hair
down in curls. Nearly the whole
school took the matter up and it
looked as if the upheaval would break
up school for time. The school
authorities stood by the principal
and large number of the students
struck, declaring they would not at
tend the school again unless the prin-
cipal apologized or was discharged.
About thirty have returned to school,
complying with the school boards de-
mand, never to participate in dem
onstration against the school author
tiles. The parents refuse to force
their children to sign the boards de-
mands and are taking steps to rein
state them unconditionally. There
may be more trouble yet The young
lady's father is bringing suit against
the principal.

Perhaps it was curiosity that

FARM SELLS FOR $35, 900.

A deal was closed the past week
whereby the farm owned by c. e.
Milward, located one mile south of
Dancy in the Town of Eau Pleine on
the line of Portage and Marathon Co.,
was sold to parties from Eau Claire,
Wis, for $4,000. The farm COM
prises 400 acres, one-half of which is
under cultivation and the remainder
pasture land, 160 acres being in the
Dancy drainage dist About twenty
years ago on which is now one of the
highest priced farms in this part of
the country, stood the saw mill of
Segleke-Petty & Co. and which was
operated for some years. The late
Thomas Petty who was one of the
firm, purchased these lands at few
dollars per acre selling off from same
enough timber to pay for the land
many times. About the time the
numbering industry was becoming a
thing of the past, Daniel Coolett who
was son-in-law of Mr.. Petty, took
over the lands and began developing
same for agricultural purposes and
in this he was not mistaken.
Mr.. Coolett continued developing
and raisirg blooded stock up to 3
yeafs ago, when he disposed of the
farm to A e. Dafoe of Stevens Point
for S25, 1000. In less than one year
Mr.. Dafoe sold to G. e. Milward of
Madison brother of Prof. j. G..
Milward, who is one of the faculty of
the State University, for $4,000 and
now Mr.. Milward sells to Eau Claire
parties, reserving his herd of pure
herd cattle for S35, 900.
1t is understood to be the intention
of the purchaser to engage in the
cattle business almost exclusively,
the farm being especially adapted for
those purposes, as there is never a
shortage Of pasturage. That land
values are rapidly advancing all over
this section of state, there is no deny
ing and judging from the class of
people who are buying, the advance
has not yet reached the top mark.
With cattle and dairying the farmer
who can raise fodder and not have to
hire too much help and is willing to
hustle little bit, can not help max
ing good.

BE ON THE WATCH.

Scarlet fever is closing many of the
Wisconsin schools and quite exten-
sive epideGiics are threatened in some
quarters Every parent should be on
the lookout for any suspicious symp-
toms, for the protection OF his own
and his neighbors' children.
When scarlet fever is rampant
every sore throat should be considered
suspicious, as should any sign OF
feyerishness. Accompanied by a
rash, these symptoms should lead to
prompt treatment and isolation as
scarlet fever.
No haral can possibly come from
isolating case which may later
prove tc be something else than this
properly dreaded disease. On the
other hand, all epidemics have their
beginning with single cases which
have not been quarantined. either
from failure in diagnosis or from
careless or willful suppression of the
truth.
