GOOD BOOK WEEK, DECEMBER 4.s

The Library Commission of the Boy
Scouts of America celebrate what is
known as Good Book Week." The
libraries, instead Of having their
Christmas exhibits, have united with
the Boy Scouts in this move, and the
Good Book Week" or Library Week.
will be celebrated during the week of
December 40. The slogan for this
week will be Buy the Best Books for
Your Children" The purpose of this
campaign is to stimulate more inter
est in the work of the public library,
and to give the parents an opportunity
of getting in touch with the best Sc
lection of books for their children
Library Week" will be held at a
good time of the year, as many parents
buy books for their children as Christ
mas gifts, and at this time sugges-
tions will be offered regarding the
form of books that should be pur-
chased for children. The local Ii
brarian is arranging for an interest
ing exhibit of books for children. A
new lot has arrived and more are
expected. The book stores of the city
will cooperate with the library dur
ing the week in having their books
on display. The librarian will feature
Boy Scout books during that week. 1t
is hoped that many parents will take
advantage of this week by visiting the
library where they will receive in
formation on desirable books for chill
dren and the Importance of childrens
reading. The children are also urged
to visit the library at this time. The
librarian hopes to have story hours

Billy Allen informs us that John
Mercer's logging crew cut a pine tree
on Section 3, Town of Reitbrock, that
made twenty saw logs, eleven of which
were sixteen feet long, seven were
twelve feet long, one fourteen feet
long, and one eighteen, averaging 100
feet board measure to the log. The
tree would have made twenty-three
logs had it not been broken by falling.
Billy says he has been in the woods all
his life and never knew of over eigh-
teen logs being cut out of one tree be-
fore. This tree of MERGERS was per-
fectly sound for a distance of about
six feet above the roots where it
branched into five, what lumbermen
call ''prongs," each prong" making
four logs.

PLAN n SUGGESTED
TO BRING TOURISTS
Man Thanked by Wilson's Campaign
Manager for Suggestions
OfierS Others.

Although Alexander Weinfeld, treas
urrr Of the Gross-Weinfeld Millinery
company, who says he first suggested
tenders for street cars in New Or
leans and hammered at his sUgges-
tiun until the tenders were obtained,
made two suggestions relative to the
conduct of President Wilson's cam
Jaign which brought him a letter of
thanks from Vance G. Mccormick, he
declines 10 make the suggestions pub
lie. Instead he makes a suggestion
of % method of increasing the great
number of tourists who already visit
New Orleans each year.
Mr. Weinfcld suggests that each of
the daily newspapers of New Orleans
publish a special tourists edition de
picting the beauty and attractions of
New Orleans. and the country there
abouts He would then have the bust
ness men of the city decide which was
the best. then purchase 100000 copies
of the winning edition, and $4,000 of
each of the others, and place a copy in
the hands of each tourist in Florida by
sending special men there to person
ally distribute them.
The hotels of New Orleans are far
superior to any in Florida, where run
ming water is an unknown quantity
and bowls and pitchers furnish the
equipment for bedrooms. he says. He
also thinks New Orleans, even though
it cramped the residents, should ac-
cOmmodate many thousands of visitors
by renting them apartments and fur
njshed rooms.
Mr.. Weinfeld does not limit his sug-
gestiOns, and Friday afternoon was in
conference with railroad representa-
uves. regarding a suggestion of his for
q better railroad ticket
His campaign suggestions will re-
main a secret, however. unless Presi-
dent Wilson or Mr.. Mccormick make
them public Mr.. Weinfeld reserving
them against the time when some
friend OF his runs for office.
There were just two suggestions
regarding the method of campaign
and ! do not care to make them pub
lie said Mr. Weinfeld. Il would have
made them to Mr.. Hughes. but | was
boosting Wilson. The suggestions are
good and | am pleased at Mr.. Wilson's
reelection. They are applicable only
to elections of governors. senators and

CELEBRATED S2ND BIRTHDAY
Mrs. Sebastian KrOnenwetter Hale and
Hearty Though in Evening of Life.

Last Sunday Mrs. NJ O'Connor OF
Kronenwetter, invited in relatives and
friends to the number Of thirty-fve, as
a surprise to her mother, Mrs. S.
Kronenwetter, who on the 18th inst
reached the SIND year of her earthly
existence.
The aged lady's name was Mary Bire
She was born Nov. 13, 1884, at Dana
dorf, Elsac, France. When a young
girl she came to America and settled
in Pennsylvania. On Oct. Is, 1855, she
was married at st. Marys, Penn, to
Sebastian Kronenwetter, the ceremony
having been performed by Rev. r
Seidenbusch, who afterward became
Bishop of Minnesota.
In October, 1857, they came to Mosi-
nee and engaged in the hotel business
In 1861 they moved to Wausau, which
then was busy small city. Lumber
ing was booming and for two years
they prospered in the hotel business
when their place was destroyed by
fire, cleaning them out entirely OF
worldly possessions They then moved
to where Mrs. Kronenwetter now re-
sides, at that time called Keelerville
and Mr.. Kronenwetter became actively
engag ged in the lumber business which
he followed up to the time of his death
which occurred ten years ago. When
Mr.. and Mrs. Kronenwetter first To-
Gated in Mosinee in 1857, what is now
perhaps one of the busiest small towns
on the Wisconsin river, consisted OF
three families.
Mrs. Kronenwetter is the mother OF
nine children, two of whom are not
living. The remaining ones are Henry
and Carl, of Kronenwetter, George OF
FallOn, Nevada Mrs. NJ. Lutz and Mrs
NJ. O'Connor. of Kronenwetter; Mrs
Eugene Wirth, of Mosinee, and Mrs
Louise Kretlow, of Even, Mich. Aside
from her immediate family she has
fifteen grand children and ten great
grandchildren.
Mr.. kronenwetter and wife were
prominently identified with the devel-
opment of Mosinee, and surrounding
country, the town of Kronenwetter
having been called after them. Mr.
Kronenwetter was active in politics
and aside from numerous offices he
held at different times, he also served
as a member of the legislature.
Mrs. KrOnenwetter is the last sur
yivor of the old settlers and none
among all of them were, ore are
more dearly beloved than she. Al
though advanced in years she is as in
terested in the welfare and upbuilding
of the community and surrounding
country as ever, and aside from an in
jury received in a fall some years ago
her health is very good.
A six o'clock dinner was served in
courses after which all entered into
the spirit of the occasion, and music
both instrumental and vocal, with a
recitation by Earl Lutz, pleasantly
passed the evening away. And al
went home hoping Mrs. Kronenwettel
may remain many more years among
US to enjoy the evening of her vel
spent life. Aside from the immediate
relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Knollel
were also Mosinee Times.
Mrs. Kronenwetter has many warn
many more years of happiness OF
earth.

WHY NOT 4?

Why not have several skating rinks
in our city this winter? If several
places can be kept flooded, arrange
ments can be made to keep them free
from snow. The boy scouts of the
city might do it, and then some of the
societies might club together in keep
ing couple of them clear of snow
Think of the good times the boys and
girls will have, and the older people
too. There was a time when Wausau
had a rink every winter, and in con-
sequence the city developed some Of
the fastest skaters in the state and
the contests created much enthusiasm
Then, let's talk up a hill for coast
ing, and another for skiing. It is time
to get busy on these things.
There is no doubt but what tht
city will furnish the water for the
rinks, and perhaps do the sprinkling
if it is assured that others will keel
them clear of snow.

TAKE CARE OF THE BIRDS

The following is kindly appeal by
a reverend gentleman, who has nature
at heart, and the Pilot is glad to give
the article publication:
Now is the time when the Chris
tian people can show their love of
God and all his creation by feeding
the birds and relieving suffering.
Deep snow covers the earth and the
little birds cannot find their daily
bread. Let the children of God have
pity on them and clean the snow off
some little place in their yard and
thaw out all such scraps and refuse
which the birds can eat. Instill in the
hearts of your children the Christian
virtues of piety and charity, the exer-
else of which they will learn to en-
joy and be paid a thousand fold and
your heavenly Father will be pleased.
Respectfully,
Rev. G. r. Book, Schofield, Wis.
