Our County Fair.

The great success of the Marathon
County fair, has made the event
talked about all over the northern
part of our state, and it is only neces-
sary to continue along the lines
adopted by its managers, to make the
annual event easily the most attrac-
tive affair in this part of the state.
But this work is arduOus; very few
men can handle such an affair
successfully; and those who can,
can hardly afford to give their
time and energy to boost a
county fair just for the love of it; and
then there are those who will "kick"
at anything and everything, Just be-
cause they are born that way. To
have continuation of such fairs as
have been given us by the Marathon
County Agricultural Society for the
past few years there must be the
fullest cooperation by the entire
population of the county. The man
who finds fault should be told TO go
back ard sit down. among the old
fossils, who are eternally retrograd-
ing. Marathon COunty'S fair Just
ended, is beyond doubt. taking every
thing considered, the best one ever
held in the county. There may have
been q lew shortcomings, bat these
can't be helped They are trining
and can be overlooked
1t is generally TO be hoped that the
management now in control can be
induced TO keep on with the good
work. 1t is rumOred that some of
the leading officers feel that they
have done their duty and desire to
give way to others. The PILOT hopes
this is Just rumOr, without fOunda-
tlon. We are sure that these men
can get the assistance of every prOmi-
nent man in Marathon county to pitch
IN and make our county fairs even
greater and better than they have
been.
The farmers need such annual
events to break away from their farms
and mingle aud get acquainted with
their city brethren and for the same
reason the population of our citv and
towns In the county desire a bang up
county fair such as was had this
year. Ii Is true that fairs have wealth
er conditions to meet, but with sim
cere cooperation of our people. as a
whole, and with such able men as r.
+. Wilson, the SOciety'S presidential. d.
christie, its secretary and A. II.
zimmerman, its treasurer and its
splendid executive board, all difficult
les could be Surmounted.
Let us all pull strong and hard for
the success OF our county fairs.

LOW PRICED LUMBER.

The Barker & Stewart Lumber Co.,
of this city, has started to take down
some of their trans and buildings at
their mill on the island. In doing
this they find that they have large
quantities of used lumber, which is
very good for use again and are sell
ing this lumber at low price This
should be taken into consideration by
anyone who is contemplating build
ing, as considerable money can be
saved by using this material and
large part of it is as good as new.
They are still doing a general retail
lumber business and are always ready
to give special attention to rush or
ders for Lath, Shingles and Lumber
of all grades. adv.

A FEW weeks ago an article ap-
peared in one of our city papers,
which argued against a circus like
Barnum & Baiiey's. 1t said there
was no good in it for a city. 1t took
thousands of dollars away and left
nothing in return. OF course, if such
a question was put to vote of the
people, there would be just one
against having the circus and the
balance for it. The attractions at
our county fair can be placed in the
same category. The large number of
tent attractions at which admission
was charged, the merry-go-rouDd,
horse racing, and the amounts paid
for the various attractions, all take
much money from the city. Yet, be-
cause of that should the great mass
of people of the city and county be
deprived of amusements ? What are
we here for-just to work, eat and
sleep? Without amusementS, such a
life would be about on a par
with the EsquimeauX, in Iceland.
But this same writer who is "agin"
the circus, has nothing to say about
the side-shOws, the horse racing, the
-gO-round, ETC., at the county
fair-withOut, which, as all know,
there could he no fair, for lack of
patronage.
Wausau people will always be a
good patroniZer of the circus, the
county fair, theaterS and other good,
clean amusements. Otherwise the
city would be as dead as door nail.

sary. 1t certainly is giant in
strength and endurance and the fire
department is now well fortified and
the city we'll protected to cope with
all blazes expeditiously.
Nearly 400 automobiles appeared on
the grounds Friday afternoon on
parade on the race course, a number
of them artistically decorated. Two
uted by the fair association as pres
ents to some of the participants, as
follows: Louis Marquardt 800, Ralph
of the town of Maine, $40.
While this city may not have the
largest fair in the state, it most assur-
eddy can lay claim to having one of the
finest and best displays and one of
the largest and most enthusiastic
exhibitions to its credit ever held here.
Thursday was the 'big day." every
store, office, factory, bank, shop, ETC.,
was closed for the afternoon, and
everyone turned out on that occasion
and we're we'll paid for lending their
presence there.
The motorcycle races were spirited
and interesting, the contestants.
Thursday, being Ted Doering and
Geo. Dern. 1t was a five mile race.
which was won by Dern in six min
utes and forty-two seconds. Ted was
thrown from his machine when on
the eighth lap, receiving slight in
jury. He was working yesterday.
Fridays race was contested by Aug.
Erickson and Geo. bern, the former
winning In seven minutes and twenty
one seconds.
Thursday evening was one long to
be remembered, for its great crowd
and for the excellent entertainment
given. The band was out and added
| much to the pleasure of all. The
| debris from the circus had been raked
| up into large piles inside of the race
track and at about s o'clock it was
| lighted and 1T was a bonfire which
lighted up the entire grounds. The
new ire truck with it's mammoth
search lights made an exhibition run
from the city to the fire.
Again much credit is due President
b. +. Wilson, Secretary, j. ID. Christie,
Mrs. Christie and Mrs George Hal
der, the latter genteman's assist
ants, and other officers for their
| devotion of time and labor and
lndefatigable work in making the
fair such pronounced success
They all strove early and late
TO fulfill their duties in their ca.
pacities and how we'll they have
succeeded is left to the public for more
pronounced endorsement.

NEW YORK newspapers today with
out exception, characterized the
settlement of the German-American
situation as a great victory for the
United States and for President Will
son. The comment included:
World - president Wilson's pa
tient, but unyielding devotion TO
vital principles of law and humanity,
has brought peace with honor out Of
the German crisis"
president Wilson is in a
position to say with the fervor of full
conviction that Truth is mighty and
will prevail The great diplomatic
triumph which he has achieved in the
long controversy with Germany is
one for which the world will award
him great credit; it will bring him
high distinction.

FOLLOWING a precedent set by the
comptroller of the currency with res
pect to national banks, Commissioner
knott has issued an order prohibiting
state banks from issuing Overdrafts.
Instead of being classed as loans, he
declares, oyerdrafts should be charged
to the profit and loss account. Over
drafts in state banks, according to
banking reports, average 81, 10000 a
month. A bill fOrbidding the practice
failed of passage at the recent session
of the legislature.

Soon there will be no such thing as
idle men. President Wilson has plan
for a federal employment bureau, the
object of which is bringing together
the employer and the man seeking
work. Sometimes it is very hard to
find employment for man who would
rather be idle.
