THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

That Christmas is not far off has
been made evident by the Christmas
appearance of the stores, decorations
having been put up and quantities of
Christmas goods on display. The
season will be more realized from now
on as the stores will be open every
night until Christmas, giving the
Wausau shoppers an opportunity to
do their holiday trading in the even
ings. Wausau people should read
the advertisements of the local
merchants in this paper this week
and then inspect the complete lines
of seasOnable and serviceable goods,
which can be purchased here. The
early shopper has the larger variety
to choose from. This is also the sea-
son of the year when the perplexing
question comes up, "What can l give
them for Christmas ?" We suggest a
years subscription to the WAUsAU
PILOT, as a gift for an absent relative
or friend. The real Christmas rush
at the post office will soon commence.
Packages should be mailed early and
labels mot to be opened until Christ
mas" used. By doing this it may
avoid the probable delay in delivery
and your packages will not be caught
in the late rush. Begin your shop
ping and mail your packages now.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1915-12-14
FOLLOW THESE RULES.

Postmaster T. II. Ryan has issued
the following "uOnt's" to be observed
by senders of mail matter during the
holiday season, and the following Of
these rules will save confusion and
insure prompt delivery of mail mat
ter:
l. Don't place Red Cross stamps or
other non postage stamps on the ad-
dress side Of mail matter.
,. Don't place Red Cross stamps or
other nOn-postage stamps on the
outside of foreign letters, as such
letters are unmailable.
3. Don't mail cards with glass,
metal, sand, tinsel or similar sub
stances unless enclosed in an envelope
as they will not be permitted to pass
through the mails.
4. Don't stamp tinsel cards and
then mail them in a transparent
envelope. The stamps should be
placed on the outside of the envelope.
5. Don't expect your carrier on
schedule time.
&. Don't mail your parcels at the
last moment and expect to have them
delivered on Christmas morning un-
less you mail them by special delivery.
Parcels mailed early may be marked
on the outside, "Do not open until
Christmas"
!. Don't mail your parcels without
first presenting them to clerk at the
office who will inform you if they are
properly prepared for mailing.
s. Don't use lead pencil for address
ing your parcels. Use pen and ink.
9. Don't mail sealed parcels unless
prepaid at the letter rate of postage.
10. Don't mail parcels without a
reture address, and it is advisable to
also place the address on card in
side of the parcel for protection in
case the wrapper becomes destroyed.
IL. Don't use ordinary stamps for
special delivery service when the
special stamps can be procured, as
the ordinary stamps may be taken for
a part of the postage.
u. Don't forget that special deliv
cry service applies to parcels, the only
extra charge being 10 cents for deliv
cry fee.

HOUSE AND BARN BURN.
1t Was at the Home of W. D. KollOcle
That the Fire Occurred.

The fire which destroyed the w.
ID. KOllOck home and barn in the
town of Almond last Saturday morn
ing was discovered at about 10 o'clock.
One of Mr.. Kollock's daughters had
left home shortly before and gone to
Bancroft to meet the Portage train.
Mr.. KOllOck had gone to the barn
and upon returning to his residence,
found the interior a mass of flames.
Mr.. Kollock and his neighbOrs who
went to his assistance began remOv-
ing household effects and succeeded
in saving a small amount of furni-
ture.
When the roof of the residence fell
in burning embers and sparks were
carried, by the wind, to the barn a
short distance away. The building
caught fire Immediately and suffered
a fate like the dwelling. Both builb-
ings were totally destroyed.
An insurance of $4,000 was carried
on the buildings in the Shumway
agency and 81 800 on household goods
by E. w. Sellers, both of this city.
The Kollock home was one Of the
oldest and also one of the pleas

MEETING OF LUMBERMEN.

The Northern Hemlock & Hard
wood Manufacturers association met
in Milwaukee on the 9th. The meet
ing was called to take into co nsidera-
tiOn the matter of manufacture and
grading and have a uniformity in
the stock turned out in this state
and Michigan, so that the purchaser
could be guaranteed in the lumber
contracted for.
This was thought very essential be-
fore the campaign of advertising,
I which was arranged for at a previous
meeting, should be commenced, other
wise it would not be effective. 1T
was strangly advocated and favored
that trade mark be adopted for all
guaranteed graded hemlOck passed
upon by the association inspection.
1t was also thoroughly discussed the
necessity of having thoroughly COM
petent statesmen and a closer cO-Opera-
tiOn in meeting the requirements of
the retail trade.
An apparent feeling Of. optimism
prevailed such as has not been known
for years regarding the outlook for
business. There is every indication of
great activity in lumber circles from
now on. J. H. Johannes Of this city
and NJ. P. Mccullough of Schofield
attended the meeting.

RED CROSS SEALS.
Your Opportunity to Bring Christmas
to Those Who Need Cheer.

~@~-N.0-NO-N-O-NNo-0.0-NN0N~

Let everybody join hands and boost
the sale of Christmas seals. The
committee has planned systematic
campaign. The community should
respond literally to the appeals made.
Special committees are calling upon
the merchants, manufacturers, bank
ers and professional men. Seals are
on sale at Albers' drug store, Ploss
Pharmacy, Weichman's Pharmacy,
Sixth street and Scott street; ROhde's
book store, Collie's book store, Rick S
grocery and August Krueger's grocery.
The public school teachers are selling
to the children. Each child is asked
to buy one or more Christmas seals.
Street sales will be conducted by
boys under the direction of the Y
NJ. G. A, two Saturdays. The citi-
zens are asked to give heed to their
appeal. Young women are to make
the usual sales at the post office,
Every seal purchased is bullet in
the fight against tuberculosis. This
is our mast Obstructive disease. and
it is chief cause of poverty. The
health committee can give needed
care and provide means for prevent
ing the spread of the disease if the
Christmas seal fund is large enough
to carry on the important work.
The red-cross-seals offer a good way
to wish Merry Christmas to many
sufferers who cannot have the same
happy time that people with perfect
health enjoy.

CITY COUNCIL.

The regular monthly meeting OF
the city council was held in the city
hall last Tuesday evening, Mayor
Ringle presiding. Considerable busi-
ness of importance was transacted.
The much talked of matter Of an.
nexing to the city of Wausau part
of the town of Weston was finally
consummated at this meeting. The
question had been under cOnsidera-
tion for several years, the main object
sought by the owners Of the property
the people of that sectiOn school,
| lighting, sewer and other facilities.
J. D. Christie appeared in a strong
plea for the town of Weston against
the proposition and S. B. Tobey,
Supt of schools, talked to the council
in favor of it. The vote was almost
unanimous in favor. The addition
comprises the land north of Broadway
running to the Wisconsin river, west
of Emerson street. For informa-
tiOn see ordinance in full in this
issue of the PILOT.
Emmer E. Lampert who recently
went to Neenah to reside, resigned as

r. Schmidt were also named for the
position.
1t was voted to purchase the output
of tar of the Wausau Gas company,
the same to be used on our macadamed
streets.
1t was also voted to take out $4,000
Casualty insurance to protect the city
in case of accidents from the motor
driven fire truck. 1t was conceded
that it was necessary to go at great
speed to the fire, but that it seemed
unnecessary to do this returning.
There were several changes made
in the street lighting and several arc
lights ordered placed at various places
in the city.
The city attorney was authorized
to settle the claim of Mrs. Matthias
Graf against the city at a cost not to
exceed 8135. 90. Mr.. Graf was in the
employ of the city in the water de-
partment and met with an accident,
which resulted in a broken limb. The
city continued to pay his regular
monthly wage for a year after the
accident and shortly after that time
Mr.. Graf died.
An ordinance was adopted relating
to the burying Of any dead animal,
fowl, or offal in any public dumping
grounds, or placed in any sewer of
the city of Wausau. Ordinance in
full can be found in this issue of the
PILOT.
A proposed ordinance was ordered
published in the PILOT, the official
city paper, relating to the changing of
the boundaries and REMEMBERING OF
the various wards of the city. The
ordinance can be found in full in this
issue of the PILOT.
Reports were submitted by the
various departments and the usual
amount of bills allowed, and the
council adjourned.
