BASEBALL LEAGUE
ORGANIZED,
Wednesday; Rules and Regulations
Made.

The organisation OF the Wisconsin
River Valley base ball league has at
last been perfected after several weeks
of hard labor by several Wausau men.
Wausau needs base, ball but organized
base ball has proved too costly in the
past SO this year it was decided that
instead of entering into another
league and having the great difficulty
OF raising large funds for the pur-
pose, new league of valley cities
would be formed. 1t is believed that
the people will give their hearty sup
port to the team and there should be
no lack of good playing.
Representative present at the con-
ference neld at the Hotel Bells last
Wednesday for the purpose of per-
fecting the organization, were as fol-
lows: ID. Christianson, j. NJ. Winet-
xxi, Wausau; M. E. Bruce, Stevens
Point; E. w. Kroll, f. d. Abel, G.
NJ. Nash, Grand Rapids; II. A. Kolls,
Merrill. Officers were chosen for the
coming year as follows: J. NJ. Winet-
xxi, president; H. A. Kolls, vice
president; f. d. Abel, secretary; NJ.
+. Bruce, treasurer.
1t is expected that the league will
become six club circuit. Only the
four cities, W2nsau, Grand Rapids,
Stevens Point and Merrill, had repre-
.sentatives at the conference last
week. However it is known that
Marshfield and Nekoosa have desired
to enter the circuit and ten days
have been given them in which to
make a decision. If they decide
negatively there will of course be
only the four clubs named above. A
six club circuit makes the race more
interesting and we all hope that
Marshfield and NekooSa decide af-
firmatively.
The season as the directors have
determined shall begin ON May the
twenty-third. A schedule is be-
ing drawn up at present and will be
in complete form by the latter part
of the week. AT the meeting of the
representatives, set of bylaws was
framed. A forfeit of $50 will be re-
quired from each club by the first of
May. At the end of the season this
money will be divided among the
various teams according to their per-
centage. The teams are to be made
mp entirely of local players with the
exception of battery which can be
salaried. Even at this no more than
800 can be paid per month for the
hire of battery. Every player who
has the ability and who resides in
this city will probably be given the
chance to try out. Practice will be-
gin in very short time.
The success of a league of the
nature of this one seems assured.
The people will turn out on Sundays
to see base ball games, for that is
the only chance many get to attend
them. Wausau can more than pay
for Sunday base ball and especially
since the players will be well known
to local fans.

SONS OF VETERANS.

The Wausau Camp, No. 55, Sons of
Veterans had large and enthusiastic
meeting in the G. A. r. room at the
court house last Thursday evening,
to make arrangements for the coming
G.. A. r, and Sons of Veterans En-
campme1t to be held here in June.
The meeting was called to order by
Junior Vice Division Commander L..
w. McComb, of Stoughton. A num-
Der of candidates were mustered. 1t
was thought advisable to leave the
charter open another week. The
camp meeting is to be on the second
and fourth Tuesday of each month in
the G. A. r. room in the court house.
The camp will start with charter
list of about fifty members.
Junior Vice Division Commander
L. w. McConb asks the Sons of Vet
erans' Camp of Wausau to pledge
themselves by making the following
statement: '"There is a new relation
between myself and yourself. We
have entered into partnership to
make the Sons OF Veterans more
nearly what it ought to be. l have
pledge myself to work in hand, and |
want you to pledge yourself. The
work is manly and self-satisfying. 1t
is worthy and should have your as
sistance. The assistance should be
given continuously and not spasmod-
ically. 1t should be rendered as 10y
ally as possible.
For the first time in a generation
has our membership gone over $4,000
Sons of Veterans, all working togeth-
er in unison to accomplish desired
object, and my brothers, the only
reason we don't sweep irresistibly
across the entire continent is because
we do not all work to accomplish the
desired end. Only a few are really
enlisted. But my plea is to you. l
want you to help; you can; you ought
to, God Grant that you may.
Be an enthusiastic Son ola Veteran
every day in the year, as imbued with
the principles of the order all the
time, as on Memorial Day. Be loyal
to the old soldiers. Love them, seek
opportunity to help them. They are
our country's heroes; they are our
fathers comrades. They are leaving
us at the rate of 1000 a month, and
no one can take their places. But
we can flock to the standard of the
Sons of Veterans and as they decrease
we must increase"
The State Encampment of the Sons
Of Veterans will be held in June,
and will have about 400 delegates
present.
The Sons of Veterans expect to
have membership of 5000 in this
state at the Encampment. The En-
meeting will be presided
over by State Senator Edward T.
Fairchild of Milwaukee, division COM
mander of the Sons of Veterans.
S. OF V. AUXILIARY.
Mrs. Minnie Groth of Baraboo, or
ganizec f1c the Sons of Veterans

getting members for a new auxiliary

ing the week and many are joining
the order and she has received much
The wives, sisters,
daughters and grand daughters of
veterans and wives of the Sons of

THE ELECTION.

Last Tuesday, April 9th, was cleo
tion day. In Wausau there was no
opposition to the judicial candidates
to be voted for-JusticeJ John b. Wins
low and Judge A. III. Reid-and in
consequence there was no interest
manifested, hence the vote in tie city
was very small. In the county TIE
contest was betweenJ. E. Giessel of
Edgar, and r. III. Fischer of Mara
thon, for County Supt. of Schools.
The former was elected by a very
decisive vote, as follows:

Eight Crops Worth $44sss.soo.

The government crop report gives
the value of eight crops in Colorado
this year as s4i.363.S0O. The crops in
cluded in the figures are corn, wheat
oats, barley, rye, flaxseed, potatoeI
and hay. The figures give an increase
of 3,3O6.000 bushels in the productio,
of grains and decrease of 19s.o0t
tons in the production OF hay. The
prevailing prices on Dec. were gen
orally lower than on the same date
year ago, so the total value OF ths
eight crops is s3SS.2O0 less than lnr
year. The most valuable crop In the
state was hay, which reached totA
of $l6.1Ss.O00 for 2.130.000 tons. y
showed a decrease in value in eIcesi

Or. take another very general New Year
resolution that of getting up at certain time
in the morning. When the day dawns, any rea-
son whatever is grasped at to evade this. The
weather is too cold. the alarm not loud enough
he is his watch is fast, he doesn't really
feel well enough to risk getting up earlier than
usual and, after all. he asks himself is there
any real why he should? A thousand and.
excuses the average individual will make to
himself rather than perform what he has designed
TO do. The world is full of wobbers OF this kind.
and the more they wobble tho weaker they be
come
Another reason perhaps why the average reso,
luton makers so seldom achieve their purpose In
that they attempt too much. They make two.
three. sometimes six resolutions at once. whereas
20 carry through one resolution successfully Is
quite an admirable feat

And so IL happens that the large army OF peo-

reformation in their lives seldom success
ful in carrying out their intentions. They are
not possessed of the spirit OF energy anG resolu.

argued that II is better to make good resolutions
even though they are not carried out, than not
TO make them at all. This is open to question
however. Unless is absolutely determined

his conclusion was that Stafford was
