ROTARY CLUB

The regular semi-monthly luncheon
of the Wausau Rotary club was held
at the Wausau Club, Monday noon.
In the absence of d. G. Everest, S.
B. TObey, presided.
The question of entering into the
arrangements which are to be made
to welcome Company G home, at the
court house Wednesday evening, it
was voted to appoint a committee of
five to attend such meeting. Messrs.
L. Marchetti, A. II. Zimmerman,
@. f. Ogden, M. G. Ewing and G. H.
Hooker were appointed.
A very substantial amount was
donated to the fund now being raised
for dinners for the poor on Thanks
giving day.
Messrs A. Fl. Reid, L. Marchetti
and F. L. Bump submitted a report
as to how funds can be raised by the
city to build the Improvements neces-
sary, as recommended by the Chicago
engineers, 3IessrS. Award & Burdick,
to give US a pure, clean drinking
water and to furnish ample fire pro-
lection. The engineers recommended
three plans, the high level storage,
the low level storage and the direct
pressure systems, any one of which
would cost approximately $500
The committee found that the city
could not do much by issuing bonds,
as the city was already bonded to a
considerable extent and there were
other things for which bonds would
have to be issued. There was one
way, however, by which money can
be raiseI for the improvements and
that is by issuing bonds on the i'm
provementS so made. This the law
permits.
Should the improvements be made,
the city would have TO pay for the
use OF such Improvements, which
would probably be an amount suffic-
lent to pay the interest on the money
invested and enough more annually
to create a sinking fund TO apply on
the principal.
There are two ways to go about the
building of these Improvements, one
is TO petition the council to have the
question submitted to a vote of the
people. To do it will require a two
thirds vote Of the members of the
council. If this is granted it would
then have to be decided by a vote Of
our people. The other way is to go
TO the state railroad commission for
the improvements. If that body,
after a thorough examination by the
most competent engineers of the state,
orders them TO be- made it will end
the controversy and the work can
be entered upon. The report was
quite thoroughly discussed and it was
voted that copy of the findings Of
the committee be given TO the water
commissioners of our city.

PRESIDENTS THANKS
GIVING PROCLAMATION

It has long been the custom OF our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to us as nation.
The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to us as
a people, but the whole face of the
world has been darkened by war. In
the midst of our peace and happiness,
our thoughts dwell with painful dis
quiet upon the struggles and sufferings
of the nations at war, and OF the peo-
pies upon whom war has brought
disaster without choice or possibility
of escape on their part. We cannot
think of our own happiness without
thinking also of their pitifuI distress.
Now. therefore, I, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States OF
America, do appoint Thursday, the
thirtieth of November, as a day OF
national thanksgiving and prayer and
urge and advise the people to resort
to their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings of peace and
unbroken prosperity which He has
bestowed upon our beloved country
in such unstinted measure. And L
also urge and suggest our duty in
this, our day of peace and abundance
to think in deep sympathy Of the peo-
pies of the world upon whom the
curse and terror of war has so pitt
Iessly fallen, and to contribute out OF
our abundant means to the relief OF
their sufferings. Our people could, in
no better way, show their real atti-
tude toward the present struggle of
the nations than by contributing out
of their abundance to the relief of
the sufferings which war has brought
in its train.
In witness whereof L have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed
Done at the City of Washington,
this seventeenth day of November, in
the year of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and sixteen, and of the
independence of the United States,
the one hundred and forty-frst.

The election returns of the state
have been canvassed and the result,
in some instances, is rather surprising
Hughes majority dwindled down to
27,47S, while Phillip pulled ahead with
a vote of 6S,624 and Senator LaFollette
with a grand total of 1858. 1t was,
no doubt, Philips popularity that
saved Wisconsin for Hughes. There is
a split between the progressives and
stand-pat republicans of the state
which will ever be widening. There
has also been a split in the progress
sive faction, otherwise it would have
had its own way in the late election.
Senator LaFollette, from all indica-
tons, will put forth all his efforts
from now on to build up a united,
progressive republican machine in the
state.

A TRIP TO THE WEST

Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Gillian and
daughter, Miss Kathleen, have been
visiting in Washington, Oregon and
Montana, since the early part of Octo-
Der. They returned home Friday,
with the exception of Miss Kathleen,
who remained for visit of several

ninety miles from Portland. All
are in good health and enjoying life in
the west, which they like very much,
especially the climate. Up to the 9th
of October there had been 48 days of
sunshine The roses, and flowers gen
orally in bloom and it was like sum

pie of the weather in that country
up to about November LIST, when the

there about ten days and during the
visit spent much of their time gettin g
acquainted with their little grand
daughter, six months old. Roy is with
the c., NJ. & st. P. Ry., on the Rocky
