so farmers now on those lines able to
talk with every telephone user in
Wausau at the same price per month
as is charged for residence phones.
Also that between here and Roth

had very little if any affect upon the
Wausau system. 1t was also shown
that, as compared with other cities in
Wisconsin of nearly the same popula-
tion, Wausau was lower in its charges.
The comparisons made are on a yearly
basis as follows:

CITY COUNCIL.

Last Tuesday evening the regular
monthly meeting of the city council
was held with Mayor John Ringle
presiding. There was not a great
deal of business up before the meet
ing other than the reports and allow
ing bills. The general hospital asked
fer refund of taxes inasmuch as
many of the city poor had received
free treatment in the institution.
The fire department reported the
matter of team purchase, in which
there has been misunderstanding;
settled satisfactory to all concerned.
Also that the department has pur-
chased desirable team.
AS was expected the time for the
payment of taxes was extended until
the first of March without the pay
ment of an additional two per cent.
The damage claim Of Minnie Kamp-
ke, who was injured by defective
sidewalk, was ordered settled at the
agreed price ol S&oV.Vo.

A resolution was introduced for the
paving of Forest street from Third
street to Sixth and down Grand
avenue from Forest street to Stroller's
Lane with vitrifed brick. The reso-
luton calls for doing the work in
1916. Action on the same was post
poned until the next regular meeting,
at which property owners may be
present and express their views.
A very strong set of resolutions was
adopted with reference to Wausau's
advantages as site for the new
normal school, which is to be located
somewhere in northern Wisconsin,
and the same was presented TO the
meeting of the Normal regents at
Madison last Thursday.

of the Automatic.

Last Tuesday evening, Feb End,
1915, the annual meeting of the Wau-
sau Telephone company was held in
the offices of the company on Fourth
street. There were over 1000 shares
of stock represented. Two Of the
directors were unable to be present
G. d. Jones, who was confined to his
home by illness, and Senator W. w.
Albers who was in Madison attending
the meeting of the legislature. Nathan
Heinemann, president, presided, stat
ing the object of the meeting and Civ
ing out the information that it was
the Goth anniversary of the life of the
company. 1t was started in 1895 as
cooperative institution, to cut down
the exhorbitant prices which were
then being charged by the Wisconsin
company which then occupied the
field and was giving very poor service.
The company started in 1895 with
about 100 telephone subscribers; now
it has total of 1900 telephone sta
tions in service. 1t has an under
ground system which if all joined to-
gether on one street would extend
over mile and half, and that if
each separate duct Tor tube in which
the cables are placed underground
were to be placed end to end in
straight line they would reach from
the Court House to Rothschild, or
nearly seven miles.
1t has over 20 miles of lead-covered
cable, 3 miles underground, II miles
aerial, to bring the telephone lines in
TO the central office. Some of these
cables have as many as 600 pairs or
1900 single wires in each. If these
wires were all separate on poles and
crossarms as they used to be, and if
we had big high poles with ten cross
arms full of wires on each lone hun
dred wires to EACH it would take sixty
four such pole lines, side by side, up
the street to the Office to carry the
wires which now enter the Office
underground. And it would take a
street as wide as from Third st. to
beyond Fifth ST. just to hold these
sixty-four pole lines.
The reports read showed the COM
pany to be in excellent condition, and
Wausau has the reputation of having
the best telephone system in the
state. 1t is the automatic system
and the only one in Wisconsin. Re-
marks at the meeting were made by

Frank White, another Indian trader.
They hurried to the scene and paci-

having the culprit. By the time che
Indians had dispersed, about one-half
of the men of Jenny were on the scene
and the excitement was very great.
School was dismissed until after the
Indians had gone.

FALSE VALUES IN cHILDREN'S
TRAINING.

We are apt in schools, as elsewhere
in life, to put wrong emphasis upon
values. There is the perfect attend
ance ideal, for example. Too much
worship at this shrine drives Johnnie
and Mary to school with beginning
scarlet fever or other dangerous dis
ease, to endanger the lives of the
other children as we'll as their own.
Then there is the struggle for "high
marks" too frequently won at the
expense of red cheeks, robust bodies,
and that invaluable asset. perfect
balance of the nervous system. While
it is well for every child to be- held
to his best in scholarship, sight should
not be lost of the fact that ''his best"
stops short of the ruination of his
physical equipment.
To too many parents, education is
looked upon as an end rather than as
one of the means to the end. This
is particularly so in the instance of
parents who have themselves felt the
sting of want in scholarship, and this
includes, in some measure, every par
ent not utterly lacking in intelligence.
At best, schools only stretch and
mold child's physical and mental
capacity, thinning out here and add
ing reinforcement there. What the
school puts into a child's head isn't
half so important as is the question
as to whether or not the school has
leSsened OF increased the carrying
capacity of the pupil after gradua-
tion. At their worst, schools balloon
child's capacity at points where it
is most elastic, and fail utterly to
stretch the constructing bands which
limit it as certainly as does a short
cord about the middle of wheat
sack.
When the value of developing phys
ical strength is apprehended, there is
likewise danger of the institution of
false standards. Physical culture fad
dists are prone to worship false gods,
for their own mental training is likely
to have been lacking and left them
without fair sense of proportion.
Just as mind culturist is most
fascinated in developing the mind of
a naturally bright pupil, so is the
physical culturist most interested in
making physical freak out of the
boy or girl with we'll born physique.
The result is too often an undeyeloped
heart and prenaturally large pair of
lungs, far too large for the demands
Of ordinary pursuits.
When the owner of such lungs and
heart enters upon a sedentary office
career, as he is quite likely TO do, dis
aster is constantly invited. For, be
it known, nature abhors and at.
tempts to annihilate over-deyeloped
tissues not fully exercised. thus 1t
Is that we read with surprise of the
death from pneumonia, tuberculosis
and heart disease of famous athletes
in what should be their very prime.
After all, balance is the price and
reward of successful education.

LOOK OUT FOR THEN.

From different parts of the country
come stories of swindle successfully
worked on farmers who thought they
were going to get cheap groceries.
Two smooth strangers went through
the communities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to sell
a standard brand of sugar and flour SO
cheaply that every farmer visited
took from $40 to $50 worth, and other
things besides. Because of the low
prices the flour and sugar had to be
''paid in advance" 1t is alleged that
in one community the swindlers pick
ed up some $4,000 and no groceries
delivered.

What a Trust Company Is

III is company organized for the purpose of taking
care of peoples property Some have money or
property left to them. Others accumulate money or
property. No matter how it comes, the important
question with men, women and children who own
money or property, is-How to take care of money?
How to invest the money, how to manage the prop
erty that the safest and best be obtained
The owner of money real estate often finds it
difficult to determine how best care for his prop
erty widow a child without business experience
finds wealth any degree great burden or respon
s;bility Women and children not infrequently come
to poverty through inexperienced handling of their
possessions.
The Trust Company meets all these requirements.
1t is company made up of men of wide experience
and sound judgment 1t is organized as to do the
work with greater wisdom and economy than can be

YEARLY REPORT OF ST.
MARY'S HOSPITAL FOR 1914

st. Mary's Hospital has completed
its seventh year in the new building,
erected in 1907. The year just closed
has been prosperous one for the in
stitution and high degree of appre-
citation of the work done has been
shown by the community.
The attending physicians and sur
geons have assisted materially in the
success of the years work just closed,
not only by their generous care of
patients entrusted to them, both
private and charity; but also, in as
sisting the Sisters to elevate the
standard of efficiency by giving lee
lures to them several times a week on
such subjects as bacteriology, anat-
omy, physiology, therapeutics, etc.
The Ladies' Auxiliary has, also, been
an important factor in contributing
to the hospital success. The pride
and interest this body of women take
in the institution is shown by their
support of free-bed for the worthy
poor; which during the year has been
occupied by 13 patients with 276 days
treatment on the free-bed. The Sis
ters are always glad and willing to
help the needy poor, but because of
the fact that the instition is still
heavily in debt, the possibilities of
charity are necessarily limited and
for this reason the Ladies' Auxiliary
has done good work by maintaining
the additional free-bed. Patients
who are the beneficiaries of this char
ity receive the same careful and con-
scientious attention as those occupy
ing private rooms.
The following is the report in de-
tail:
