 FUTURE NEEDS.
 The work thus far done ibv fife b,, reau, necessarily exploratory in char acter, points the way to future needs. The investigation of infant mortality in ene; small city offers "orlIy the be- ginning of an adequate study of the conditions upder which children thrive and perish in this country" according to Miss I4athrop, who urges that the results Justify extending the Inquiry SO as to cover fifty typical communf- ties Child labor investigations are greatly needed Thus far, owing to insufficient funds, they could not be undertaken. The problems of tran sition from childhood. to a useful oc- cupation are of prime importance and the bureau should study sindustrial and vocational training
 There is an urgent public demand for information concerning the best ways to care for exceptional children the crippled. blind, deaf and feeble minded President Wilson, according 10 press. d1SpaIcneS, haSs recently ern- phasized the very great need of gov ernmentaI scientific study of feeble minded children. It is this helpless class which in later life furnishes a large proportion of the problems of criminality and prostitution
 The passage of mothers pension laws by many states indicates the great value which would accrue from a careful study Of the various meas ures and methods involved. If prompt ly done. this should aid in avoiding waste and the misapplication of a sound principle. Similarly the varying provisions of juvenile court laws throughout the country show the need for a study in. this field of legislation, putting its results at the disposal of the large numbers of people who are in the most humane and en- lightened care of delinquent children.
 These are only a few of the under takings which the Children's Bureau, in accordance with the scope of work laid out for it by the law creating it, should carry out. In it's success, and in the appropriation of Adequate funds to enable it to render it's highest service to the country, the people of the United States have the very great est of concern

SUSPECTED OF STEALING.

A man by the name of III. C. Leon

rested yesterday at the Northwestern
depot, by detective Henry Schwister
and placed in jail. He was suspected
of going into the gil ~aAg gardens of
Henry Juers, VIM. hornhorst, j. f.
Weigand as from 35 10 so pounds of
roots had been taken from each of
these gardens, besides many plants
were destroyed by being tramped
down. The man had been seen by
Jacob Werle shopping along the
streets, making minute observations
and as though he was bent on some
sort of crime and he SO informed Mr..
Schwister who Swallowed him. At
the time of his arrest he had about
thirty pounds of ginsing roots AID long
pieces of new rope slowed away in
canvass sack. Mr.. ScbwiSter also
found on his person express receipts
showing that he had shipped about
80 pounds of ginseng roots to Chicago.
These he tried to destroy, but failed
to do so. The man seems to- be
smooth, intelligent and we'll educated.
The officers are endeavoring to look
him up. The ginseng taken and de-
stroyed amount to about $3.50.

GUARDS AT CAMP DOUGLAS

The SlXty-SlX WauSau men, cOmpOS-
ing Company g. have come back from
the annual encampment of the Wis
consin National Guards. Company G
left for camp on Saturday, the 18th,
on special train. The special came
down from Rhinelander, carrying up
state companies. The boys in khaki
were cheered off by martial music
and much enthusiasm. When they
returned, one week later, the band
was apain at the station to welcome
them home.
The stay at camp was reported en-
joyable by all of our boys. The
weather was fine, and, barring little
heat, was cool and pleasant. On
Governors Day, however, it WIS in
tensely hot. Fifteen members of the
guard were overcome by The heat, but
the Wausau men were not in the
number. Governors Day, Friday,
was featured by brigade review and
a war strength regiment review,
which is to say, three regiments
maSsed as one in war ranks. Also, it
was der nStrated that the military
forces o. Wisconsin, infantry, cavalry,
artillery, and medical and hospital
attachments, constituting 1920 armed
men, can be modified and demobilized
within the short time of twelve
hours. The entraining of the various
organizations, which left for the
thirty-hve different stations last
Saturday, was executed in less than
four hours ard was carried out with
the same rapidity and promptness
which characterized their arrival in
camr the week before, when they
modified for the joint army and
camp guard. More than S48, 600 was
paid to the state troops wilhelm camp
Much of this was government pay, TO
which the state also added its share.
The feature of the last day in camp
was the review by Gov. Francis E..
McGoyern, ommander-in-chief. The
review was held at p. m. Friday. In
the reviewing place, with the Cover
nor stood Brig. Gen Charles King;
Robert III. Wescott, U. S. A, the
instructor and trainer and the Cover
nor's military s5atf, consisting of
| Coils I'll NJ Seaman, w. j. CROWN,
III. o. kletzsch, Milwaukee,: George
d. Wing, Aigoma, and w. E. Zuehlke,
Appleton.
An interesting phase of the review
| took place as The coloT-bearers, carry
ing both Lifted States and Wisconsin
regimental e.olors, passed the review
ing stand. All regiments tipped their
J colors forward considerably as a
| special salute to the comander-in-
chief This honor is due only to
| Governors, members of the cabinet,
the speaker and American and foreign
| ambassadors.
! On Thursday, members Of the third
regiment went on hike. Towards
evening they pitched camp for the
night. About five a. m. they started
for camp Douglas, the plan being tc
fight their way back in sham battle
They got into camp at 1920 a. M q

Company ID. of the 81. 5. infantry
of Buffalo, NJ Y, were present in lhs
| camp, being detailed for instruction
of the guards. All of the officer:

Wisconsins guard. They said tnai
Wisconsin had the finest and beSt
equipped guard in any state Of tn,
Union. We feel pread of the RECORD
of the state guardsmen and are glaC
that Wausail had a share in the flint
review.

CROP PROSPECTS GOOD.

Northern Wisconsin crops, especial
ly winter grains, will give big yields
this year Winter wheat, is filling
out very well, and the prospects are
good for heavy crop. The indica-
lions are that spring wheat and bar
ley viii also give exceptionally large
yields.
The oat crop will suffer some this
year from the attack OF a blight, prob
ably caused by weather conditions.
Specialists state that the blight is
not widespread throughout the state,
however. Corn and potatoes on the
light soils of the northern counties
are i'm good condition, but both of
these crops were injured TO some ex-,
tent by rains where they were planted
on heavy soils. Hay, particularly in
the north central part of the state,
is very heavy crop.

brought to shore life was extinct. The
supposition is, he was taken with
