The church is built of solid rubble

The stone walls are pointed with a
light gray mortar, the whole mass
giving one the feeling of great
strength and solidity. The large
stone buttreSses of the church take the
thrust from the roof trusses and add
greatly to the feeling of strength and

MEMORABLE OCCASION.
A Dinner Given at the Waussu Club
House by the First National BanS
in Honor Of A. Horace GIout.


Last Thursday evening the First
National Bank gave dinner in honor
of A. Horace Grout, to celebrate the
10th year of his connection with that
institution. Seventeen were present
which comprised the directors ano
clerical force of the bank. viz: d. L.
Plumer, President; A. III. Grout,
Cashier; John Ringle and G. S. Curtis,
Vice-presents: Directors: 6. ID. Jones'
f. P. Stone, j. Gensman, G. E. Turn.
er, }. n. Manson and E. B. rhayer
G. G.. Kruger, : Ringle, Jr., Emmel
| Lampert, John Prahl, Edward 6
Hunger, Charles Parcher and Harry
r lander.
MIR. Grout came TO Wausau from
Menasha, on May lst, 1875, having
been induced to do so by the private
bank of Silverthorn & PIumer and by
the efforts of Charles f. Dunbar, who
had known Mr.. Grout in Menasha.
He had been represented as an expert
accountant and young man whose
integrity, honesty and ability had
brought him into the lime-light; large
institutions we're casting about for
just such young men and the old
banking firm of this city was FORUM
ate in offering him inducements to
make Wausau his future home. Not
only the bank, but the people of
Wausau in general, have ever since
rejoiced because of this.
Dinner was served at 7 O'Clock and
the post-prandial exercises with John
Manson presiding, consisted in brief
talks by each of the directors; some
upon the history of the bank and
Mr.. Grout's connection with the
same; others told interesting reminis-
cences of Mr.. CIRCUITS early life in
Wausau and G. G Kruger repre-
sented the clerical force in a pleasant
talk. Interspersed, were inspiring
songs led by Messrs. Jones, Stone anu
Ringle.
Mr.. Jones presented the guest of
honor, with handsome, gold watch,
chain and Masonic charm attached,
in behalf of the bank, upon which
was engraved:
"To
A. II. Grout
from
The First National Bank
Wausau, Wis.
1S75-19l5"
Mr.. Curtis, also in behalf of the
bank, presented gift of more sub
stantial nature. Mr.. Grout responded
with words of the deepest apprecia-
tion and told of the pleasure it always
lad been to him to be associated with
the founders of the bank as we'll as
those who had guided its destinies
down to the present time.
At the close there was a brief re-
ception and Mr.. Grout received the
sincere congratulations of all with the
hope that on May l, 1925, the bank
might be able to again celebrate in
his honor.

Important Battleship Changes.

Perhaps the most important change
in the construction of the new battle
ships win be the increase in the angle
of the fire Of the large guns. This
change will be made in response to
the demand for longer range guns.
There is a report that in engagements
between British and German warships
hits have been made at ranges which
up to this time were regarded as be-
yond the limit, at which the fire of the
largest guns could be controlled
While the accuracy of some of these
figures has been questioned by United
States naval officers, it is understood
that it is thought wise to increase the
angle of fire in the battleships author
lied at the last session of Congress.
As has heen frequently stated, there is
not much difference between the pow
er of the 14-inch guns in the United
States fleet and the 15-inch guns in
the British dreadnaughts.
It is claimed that the muzzle yeloc-
ity and other features OF our guns
about offset the difference in the size
between them and the British 15-inch
guns. Aside from this, the triple gun
tuIret construction of the latest Uni
ted States battleship gives more op-
DoTtunity for hits than The two-gun
tUrret of the British ships. With the
increase in the angle of fire, it is stat
ed,f the range of the 14-inch gun can
be extended to the limit Of vision or
any sea a1d under any condition.

LASSEN VOLCANO NOW SAFE.
California Peak Has Spent Most Of Its
Energy, investigators Say.

Lassen volcano. California spent
most of fits energy in it's violent erup-
tions last May, according 10 reports
received by the Forest Service and IL
is believed that there IS little likeli-
hood Of further destructive outbreaks.
Since the upheavels of May 90 and
%. the volcano has been nder the OBJ
servation of officers OF tho assen Ma
tional Forest,in which the aak stands,
and for the last month a yo canoIogist
of the United States Geograps fcal sur
vey has been making a scientific 1dy
Of the mountain.
The investigations have confirm cd
the opinion that the eruption of three
months ago, when the river of mud
was blown out of the north side of the
crater and down Hat Creek with con
siderable damage to government and
private property. was caused by the
melting of the snow on the peak, the
snow water running into the crater
and being converted by the molten
lava into steam.
Although il is possible that the vol
cano is simply conserving its energy
for another outbreak, the indications
are. according to the government vol
canologist on the ground, that no fur
ther eruptions are likely 10 occur. al
least until next spring, when another
influx of snow water may cause
another slight disturbance.
The first authentic report of the dam
| age done by the eruptions of last May
shows that early reports were greatly
| exaggerated. Forest rangers who
have made a. careful survey of the
| neighborhood of the volcano and have
made several ascents to the rim OF tho
crater, report that the total extent oi
| government land rendered useless by
mud and lava is somewhat less than
| 1000 acres, and that of the privately
owned land rendered useless less thar
| 1 900 acres, comprising all told tn,
grazing range of about 220 cattle.
In addition. by reason of temper.
airy injury to other acres. range has
had to be provided for about 500 cattlt
which are grazed near the mountain
| Inasmuch as some 10000 cattle ant
| 5000 sheep are grazed on the LASER
Forest every year, this curtailment ol
the range, according to the Forest Ser.
vice, is almost negligible.
The Forest officers on the ground

Treatment For Hog ChoIcra.

Farmers should be on the alert these
days for the least indications of chol-
era among their hogs and should
prepare TO combat this dread disease
vigorously. IL has been discovered
that we'll hogs may be treated with
hog cholera serum so that they viii
not take the disease if exposed later
This method of treatment has Dasset
the experimental stage and is now OF
a practical working basis
The Agricultural Station at College
Park. Md. will furnish serum at cost
The cost usually runs about 20 cents
for half grown hogs. This cost may
seem high, but it is securing insur
ance at a figure which is far lower
than the losses which occur when th,
disease visitsR q herd. The county dem
onstrator has been teaching many O
the farmers of the State how TO inoc
ulate hogs with serum. Are you go
ing TO be one of the many farmers tC
be taught?
After cholera has been on your farm
do not put your hogs in the same pens
before they have been cared for. AS
soon as the last victim of cholera ha:
either died or recovered burn all the
bedding that has been contaminated
with the discharges from the sick an
