had had a teacher who could speak

WORK FOR WAUSAU.

Mr.. EdllOr
Have you ever thought that there
is one way that we could all work for
Wausau, that has been sadly over
looked
Have you ever thought that the
poor drinking water we have to
drink furnished by our water works
system, has deferred some people
from taking up their residence in
our city?
Has it ever occurred to you that
there is pure, clear, palatable wa
ter near us that we should have
Has it satisfied you to have some
chemist report after Analysing the
water that there is nothing deleter-
ious in it, and that it is wholesome !?
Does his analysis prevent you from
spleening when you raise a glass
to your lips, and see the particles of
something" in the glass beside water
and smell the distasteful odor ?
Have you ever noted the number
of conveyances from which pure
spring water is peddled to our citi-
zens.
Did you ever think that we have
an Advancement association, and
thriving Rotary club, but have you
ever heard of either one taking up
this question and taking any active
steps toward lettering this condition :?
Has it ever occurred to you that
they could not use their energies in
any better direction?
Is there any reason why they
should leave this matter to "George?
I mention the above organizations
simply if a change is to take place
it must be through some representa-
tive body, a single citizen can get no
action in this way more then a single
shipper can get a wrong corrected
in their methods from the railroads,
but a concerted united action on the
part of a group of shippers causes
them to sit up and take notice.
l trust that this suggestion may soak
in the minds of our citizens, and I'LL
timately break through some of our
organizations, and receive the loyal
and enthusiastic endorsement of us
all, and that it may result in our be-
ing supple, with the pure Wiscon-
sin water, which God meant us to
have in our beautiful Wausau.
A Citizen.

An exUemporaneous program was
then given as follows:
Mr.. Ross Roy moved that Mr.

is to be complimented in having a
fine voice, with great range,
1t was then moved and seconded
that Miss Eleanor Bartlett and Mr.
Elvin Hartlett play "Chop-sticks,"
on the piano. This also was done in
most pleasing manner.
Mr.. Olson then attempted to make
a motion in Swedish; but was finally
persuaded to translate it into English.
| He moved that "Turk" Larson play a
selection on the piano called, THE
| Shooting Park" The nearest Turk"
could come to it, however, was 1.-THE
Rifie-range." Mr.. Olson said it would
be alright, as long as it was some
thing about shooting After short
speech, the selection was played In
spite of its briefness, everyone was
glad when it was over.
1t was then moved that Franklin
Bump, Benjamin Kuebler, Chester
Hartlett and Lester Komers, sing.
They did this very successfully. After
this the meeting adjourned.

securing a total of Is points for Wau-

The game was a fast and interest
one, all the boys working hard, and

ENGINEERS WANT
FOUR YEAR COURSE
AT AMES THINK 1T
MIGHT HAvE'AN EXTRA YEAR
OF sPEClALTlEs.

Iowa City, May 2.-That the course
to prepare men to become engineers
should include four years of general
work and one of special training is
the opinion Of a big majority Of $50
of the most prominent engineers OF
the country whom Dean w. G. Ray
mond of the state university recently
asked to give their views on engineer
ing education.
The engineering course in most uni
versities now includes only four years
work. The first is usually general
and the remaining three specialized,
the students combining themselves
largely to studies Of the particular
branches of engineering which they
expect to follow.
. There is danger in too much special
ization, according to the engineers
Dean Raymond has consulted. ITO
build high. one must build broad one
of them writes. He, like most of the
others, proposes that students give
four years to study Of the general
subjects in engineering, then concen-
trate during the fifth year on the tech
meal phases Of civil, mechanical, cleo
trical, mining or other kinds of engin-
eering.

to see and hear him, too, for Jupiter

and there was almost steady down.
pour the entire day.
There was tense curiosity as to
what Billy Sunday acted like and what
he talked like. Most of the people had
formed opinions before the day was
over. Those who came to scoff left
with admiring words on their lips.
Those who believed in Billy Sundays
methods before they had heard the
man believed more firmly in those
methods after they had seen the man
perform. -.
He is the most remarkable preacher
Kansas City had ever seen. He is DIFF
ferent from any other preacher of the
gospel Kansas City has ever known.
Originality marked everything that
Billy Sunday did. s"

TREES ARE DYING
OF INVITATION
DAVENPORT IS HAVING SOME
SERIOUS TROUBLE WITH A
NEW DISEASE.

Davenport, May "A new disease
has broken out in Davenport. 1t is
tree asphyxiation.
Over a dozen of the healthy young
trees set out died and the park com.
mission has conducted an autopsy
arboreal and decided that the trees
met their untimely end via the gas
route. .'
It is the first time that the gas dis
ease has broken out here. The park
commission, after consulting with
landscape architects, has decided that
death came about in the following
manner.
The trees we're planted on the
levee, on ground that had been filled
in from city garbage. The vegetable
material decayed and generated gases
so powerful that they stifled the life
in the roots of the young trees.
When the trees were dug up, a
strong gaseous odor exhaled from the
earth. 1t was found that the tree
roots had not grown particle since
the trees were planted. The shrubs
were not set so deeply into the
ground and could find ample oppor-
tunity for sustenance In the top soil.
Other trees Of the same age and
species that were set out on old
ground are living. The park commits
sion has decided that gas from the
decaying vegetable matter caused the
death of the trees.
