DEFEATED AT MARATHON.

The game played between the Wau-
sau Business College and Marathon on
the local floor was one of the most
closely contested games of the season.
1t proved defeat for the Wausau
tossers. Kregal succeeded in putting
the ball through the net for two points
in the beginning of the first half.
Ritger quickly duplicated this stunt.
After the ice was thus broken, the
scores came more freely. The first
half ended 1914 in favor Of Marathon.
The second session was fast and
spirited. At no time did matters look
as though Wausan would turn the
tide of victory. Our lads braced
themselves and by superior teamwork
and shooting, tucked the contest into
their game bag. Kregal of the visit
ors was the bright light of the game,
scoring seven field baskets and two
free throws. A. Schneider's guarding
and ]. Ritger's netting was especially
noteworthy. They held Wausau's
crack shots 10 two lone baskets. This
half ended 35-lS in favor of Marathon.

THE G. A. r. ENCAMPMENT.

AS the time approaches for the
State Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic in this city,
June IA, Is and Is, correspondent of
the Milwaukee Free Press writes as
follows:
"Within few years after Cutler
post Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public was formed it became one of
the largest and strongest in the state.
Today, as members are planning to
welcome the hosts to the state en-
campment, the ranks are so thinned
tie post can not attend to all the
details of arranging for such a gath
efing. The Womens Relief corps
and Ladies of the G. A. r. are doing
what they can in the preparations
for the coming encampment.
Next summer, when every post in
the state is represented at the de-
partment encampment, Wausau will
see such an outpouring of soldiers as
all Marathon county has never before
witnessed. Possibly never again will
the civil war veterans gather for such
a meeting. With the adjournment
of the coming encampment 'taps"
may be sounded for the Wisconsin
meetings.
"The veterans of the civil war are
being aided by the local Federation
of Women's clubs, the press and all
business and professional associations
in the city in making the coming en-
campment the best of ALL"
Active preparations have really be-
gun in Wausau to make this gather
ing of the old soldiers Of this state in
Wausau one of the largest and hap
piest ever held in Wisconsin. Hon.
S. A. Cook of Neensh, department
commander, who was a visitor in the
city last week, at conference of
number of citizens, members of Cut
ler Post and Sons of Veterans, prom
ised to aid in every way to that end;
and also said he would visit the city
frequently in the interest of the En-
campment, in order to assist in max
ing it stupendious success. The
National Grano Commander of the G.
A. R., and Governor Philipp, "Son
of a Veteran" are also to be here
and be in the grand parade.
The key of the city is also to be
dropped into secret crevice in Big

NEW PLAN FOR TAXES.


Every year about this time we hear a
great deal of talk-pro and con--about
taxes. All sorts of ideas are expressed
and many differing opinions may be
found.
Upon a few points, however, all
seem to agree. That taxes are high
enough and that their prompt pay
ment is more or less of problem,
is tie universal opinion.
W. E. Hudtloff, Cashier State Bank,
now comes forward with new sug-
gestion concerning taxes. His plan
is that all tax payers can reduce this
problem to a minimum, and pay their
taxes without any noticeable effort if
they adopt the common sense Thrift
method.
Many banks throughout a number
of states are taking up the the thrift
tax plan as the easiest and best solu-
tion of the tax problem. Those who
join the Thrift Tax Club can adopt
dIJ OlC VI olAOCOlA cosy PioL1 w o0f v
the amount of money needed for taxes
next year. The deposits start with a
very few cents the first week, or even
one cent the first week, and continue
in an easy way for forty or fifty weeks,
when the total sum will be like
money from Home" to the Often dis
couraged tax payer.
The bank Is Offering this service to
everybody, free of charge. They will
pay per cent interest on tax savings
while they are being accumulated.
Those desiring to join this club to
save for any other purpose will also be
welcome. The club will begin March
1st, and remain open for members a
couple of weeks or so. Every one is
invited to call at the Citizens State
Bank and learn more about this
plan. adv

for time In the country near market
town. 1t was known In the neighbor-
hood that she wished to pass unno-

was respected But on the day OF her
departure from the town there was ala
unusual number of people at hand To
