GOOD WORDS FOR WAUSAU.

Mr.. and Mrs. S. X. Adams, of Birnam-
wood, attended the recent summer
meeting of the Central Wisconsin
Press association held in Wausau, the
former, editor of the News of that
town. After giving detailed ac-
count of his visit here, he has the fol-
lowing to say about Wausau: 1--WE
spent a most delightful day, and
can only express our sympathy for
those editors who were not only in
vited but urgently requested to at
tend, but who are so tied down by
business that they cannot afford to
attend and enjoy all of the pleasures,
benefits, and social features pertain
ing TO their county, district and state
press associations.
Wausau has a population of 1880,
and j + is one of the most enterpriSing
andkprogressive cities of its class in
the state, and it is also beautifully
located. The citizens are ever on the
lookout for opportunities for boosting
their city, and their motto is "WOrk
for Wausau." The business men of
Wausau are not only not afraid to
spend money for anything that will
advance the interests OF their city,
OuU UIl6y are also WllllHS W oHol
what is often more reluctantly given
than cash, their time and personal
attention to anything calculated to
promote their material interests. NO
wonder that Wausau is fiOurishing
city, and one that does not experience
many of the horrors of hard times.
There is more building going on right
now in Wausau than at any time
during the past past two years. Wau-
sau is a good city to visit, and it is a
good city to live in, and. it is a city
where visitors are always made to
feel that they are welcome. The
guests last Friday were royalty enter
tained by the Wausau club and the
Wausau advancement association,
not that they expected any Immediate
returns, but because it is way they
have of showing their hospitality.
We feel that we have cause for self
cOngratulation for accepting the invi-
tation to attend the meeting of the
Central Wisconsin Press association
at Wausau."

THE LEGISLATURE.

The assembly last THURSDAY. de-
feated the bill of Senator w. w.
AlberS which would reduce the life
insurance taxes of the state Sl5O,OOO.
The bill week ago had many follow
ers, but they turned right about face
and the veto stood 25 for and At
against the bill.
The bill to detach territory from
ShawanO county and attach it to
Outagamie county, which the assem-
bly, engrOsSed recently, was refused
reconsideration by an overwhelming
vote, which means that the territory
will be so detached.
The assembly has passed the bill
repeating the county board of educa-
tlon law, also the bill providing for
the collection of corporation taxes in
May and October.
The governors pet scheme to reor-
ganize the state tax commission was
defeated in the assembly last week.
1t was a great surprise for the admin
istratiOn forces. The bill provided
for reducing the commission from
three salaried members to one, and to
place the income tax wholly in the
hands of the assessors of incomes in
each county of the state.
There is a great fight on against the
bill to create central board OF educa-
tiOn. The governor says that If the
bill passes that DR.. William w. Allen
who made the university survey, will
be named as executive secretary.
The senate has killed the Glenn
| bill providing for the referendum vote
on wOman's suffrage in 1916. This
does away with the question of wo-
mans suffrage this season.
There is a move on foot among the
| legislatures to adjourn the legislature
this week until next winter. The
| idea is not looked on with favor,
nevertheless it shows that the men,
bers are becoming restless, and want
to get back to their homes.
The new cigarette law went into
effect July 1st, and ''cOffin nails" can
be purchased without fear so long as
the terms of the law are not violated,
but if they should be violated, then
| the license can be taken away from
| the dealer. Each dealer has to pay a
| license fee of $500 year. Any man
who purchases cigarettes and gives
them away TO minors may be prose-
cuted.
1t is now lawful for municipalities
to donate "mOney for manufacturing
concerns. The law provides that
money for the purpose of aiding and
encouraging the location of manu-
featuring, industrial and commercial
plants therein and for other purposes
designed to increase the population,
taxable property and business pros
| perity of such city and for the pur-
pose of defraying the necessary Incl
dental expenses incurred in relation
thereto" 1T is provided that money
so appropriated shall be expended by
the council for such purposes.
There was a good deal of talk last
week in the senate about final ad-
| journment of this session and Senator
/ Ackley presented a resolution to take
a recess until July II and adjourn
sine die July II, but it was the gen.
eral opinion that there were too many
weighty matters to be taken into con-
Sideration before adjournment. 1t
does seem rather a pity that these
poor law makers must remain in their
uncomfortable seats while their fam
lilies and friends are enjoying the cool
of the woods and lakes.

From the pen of G. H. Cooke Co. G. 25th Wis.
in Mondovi Herald, June %.
Ages ago, Damascus was deemed
the most beautiful city in the world,
1t was next to- Paradise. in the view
of the sensuous Moslem. "See Damas-
Gus and then die'' was the eXhortation
of the Faithful.
Since the State Encampment with
in Wausau's gates on the 18th of this
month, the Cry of the G. A. r. has
been, "See Wausau, the Queen City
of the Badger state, see it in the garb
of holiday attire, feel the hearts
throb in the warmth of its hand
shake and. live forever in dreams of
scenic beauty and brOtherly kind
ness"
With the old fellows themselves,
mingled with laughter and with tears.
During the entire session of three
days, there was not the least hint OF
perfunctory kindness, nor cold civil
ity. 1t was a SOULS feast from the
rising to the falling of the curtain.
Wausau in its eager welcome, its
gala dress of flags, its bunting, its
streamers, and kindred emblems, its
Court of Honor, its prOdigality of eX-
pense, and above all else its glad
greeting in every face has never been
equalled in state or national encamp-
ment.
Street cars and autos galore, con-
tended for the privilege of carrying
the visitors free. Boys mingled in
the crowds with badges on their
breasts bearing such mOttOs as: 81
live here, ask me-" Il am at your ser
vice, what can | do for you ?"
The one striking scene, contributed
to the parade by the city, was the liv-
ing marching flag of little girls, num-
bering more than thousand. LII
was picture never to be forgotten.
One Thousand little Misses of about
twelve years, scarcely hairs differ
ence in height, marching in column
of UWenty-SiX to the rank, each wear
ing a crown of ribbons, stepping with
the precision of trained veterans, and
so exactly in line, the old fellows
were nearly paralyZed at the scene.
And mind you, the G. A. r. was
not the only OnlOOker of this gorgeous
spectacle Thousands upon thou
sands packed the walks and windows,
the balconies and house tops, yea, the
chimney tops as we'll, to view this
moving picture of unmatched lowell
ness.
DO you wonder that the old boys
in the ecstacy of the moment, for
getting that comparisons are apt to
be unkind to the absent party, gave
voice to the feeling that kept tugging
at their hearts that Wausau was far
and away the nearest of all former
Encampments TO Paradise?

WAUSAU CHAUTAUQUA..
Speakers Way Above Par-An Will
Have Interesting Messages to
Deliver.

Let us again call your attention to
the Wausau> ChautauQua to be held
this year, July 18th to 25th inclusive.
The Chautauqua program this year is
considered to be even better than the
one of last year, and it would be
most difficult undertaking to have
secured much better musicians, speak
ers and entertainers than were booked
last summer. The WauSau Chautau
qua has been successful in the past
and the 1915 one is assured to be
more successful. Seats are being re-
served for the entire eight days and
can be secured by calling at A. G.
Schmidt's office.
This issue, the PILOT desires to
give it's readers just an idea of what
excellent speakers will participate in
the program. A group OF practical
business men with the gift of Oratory
gives a good understanding of the
type of speakers that have been
booked.
The first speaker of the Chautauqua
will be DR.. Stanley L. Krebs. AS to
the character of the addresses de-
livered by this eminent psychologist
and master of minds, all those who
had the pleasure of listening last year
can vOuch. Dr. Krebs is distinguish
ed as an author, a great lecturer and
a teacher. The magnetism of this
speaker, his personality, together
with the remarkable language he
seems to have at the tip of his tongue
causes an audience TO listen to him
with drawn breath, at least this was
the case here last year. In the box
kept last year for the purpose of find
ing out what speakers were most de-
sired to return, DR.. Krebs was in
cluded on the list of practically every
one. One article in a well known
periodicle, says: "It is an intellectual
treat to listen to the man; an educa-
tiOnal process to absorb his teachings"

GOOD TREATMENT
FOR OILY SCALPS

Men and women whose hair and
scalp are excessively oily suffer more
in the warmer months than at any
other time. The summers dust and
dirt mingle with dandrutf, cling to
the oily hair and scalp, clog the scalp
pores, stifle the hair roots and make
proper cleansing almost impossible.
Partisan Sage is an ideal treatment
for this trouble. Wash the hair not
oftener than once week, but use
Partisan Sage twice daily, pouring a
little into the parted hair and rubbing
briskly right into the scalp With the
finger tips. 1t drives out dandruff,
dissolyes the excess oil and stimulates
the scalp into healthy normal action.

MISS WASHBURN.

Miss Alice Washburn, who appeared
at the Grand Friday with Martha's
Rebellion, an Edison comedy, told
how motion pictures were made. Un-
like some film favorites, Miss Wash
burn does not consider the work
mechanical except in the hands of the
unimaginative who come on, but
nothing comes with them. She at
tributes much of her success to a
careful study of the costumes. "Mrs.
Mushroom, bursting into society of
the Goldfish class, would never select
the dainty gowns worn by Univers-
ity graduate, nor would the stubborn
spinster in dress, millinery or coiffure,
speak her characteristics on the
screen in fluffy rutfies, curling locks
and nodding plumes."

TONY FEHL INJURED.

Tony Fehl was very seriously in
iured last Tuesday evening when
riding his motorcycle on Grand ave-
nue. near the breweries. He sustained
a broken left leg, and foot pretty
badly smashed up. For some time
following the accident it looked as if
Mr.. Fehl would lose his limb.
Immediately Mr.. Fehl was hurried
to the General hospital where the leg
was set and the injuries bandaged.
There was a side car on the cycle
in which John MOnian was riding
When the collision with the street
car occurred, he was thrown onto the
boulevard but was uninjured. Mr..
Fehl was trying to pass an automobile
and a wagon and in order to do this
had to turn onto the car tracks. He
did not notice the approaching car
which after warning had been
sounded was stopped. The motorcycle
passed so near that Mr.. Feh's leg
was caught and in this way so serious
ly torn. The motorcycle was stopped
twenty-five feet beyond the car. Mr..
Fehl is now improving very well.

NEITHER MEN NOR
MONEY EXHAUSTED
European War Not to End
Soon Says Review of New
York Bank.

NEW YORK AuE- How the
world stands from a financial view
point after year OF war is ably set
forth in a review issued by the
National City bank today
The war expenditures have
equalled the most extravagant pre-
dictions," says the review. The
lighting has been continuous and the
casualties appalling but the results
signify practically nothing as 20 when
the conflict will end. There are no
signs that either side is running out
OF men or money. or that the people
OF any OF the warning countries are
weakening in resolution or conf
dence"
The review continues:
1.-THE developments of the war it.
self have shown the futility of an
necing hostile populations; they
cannot be dlspOssessed of the terri
tory OF compelled 20 be Ioyal citi-
zens, and while they swell the vol
ume OF domestic trade and pay taxes.
they cost at least as much as they
contribute.
If all the responsible MINISTRIES
had known as much a year ago as
they know now. it is safe 20 say that
peace wOUia not have been broken,
and If they could know now as much
as they viii a year hence. IL is prob
abe that peace conference would
not long be deferred.
Excluding italy. which came into
the war at the end OF the tenth
month. and for which few figures of
expenditures and loans are available.
the war loans OF the Combatants have
aggregated approximately S15.5OO.
100000, and this about represents the
governmental expenditures for the
year. The total Indebtedness of these
countries at the outbreak OF the war.
including the debts Of the several
states of the German empire, was APP
prOXimately $4,000, 900. 600. but a
large portion. perhaps one-half. rep
resented Investments in railways and
other review producing utilities so
that IT is safe 10 say that the debt
which must be carried by taxation
has been more than doubled"
Accepting as fact that Great
Britain cash expenditures. recently
stated TO be $4,000, 600 a day. are
larger than those OF any other coun-
try. the review says:
1.-THE expenditures Of the German
government are probably next to
those Of Great Britain. The govern
ment has realized $3.49O.OOO.O bv
means OF tow loans. which il is un-
derstOOd will carry the war into this
coming fall. but as its expenditures
have been growing. il is probable
that they are now as much as So
100000 per day. Altogether the esti-
mate Of $4,000. 600 per day for the
allays OF all the governments is seen
not 10 be improbable"
