HEAT WAVE HERE TO STAY

The chief weather forecaster of the
United States, Prof H c. Franken-
field, of Washington, D. c., said on
Friday:
we had just as well be cheerful
about it, for the weather has come for
continued stay. In the middle West,
temperatures are to be around the 100
mark for probably a week yes. and
when change does come, it is prob
able that it will be gradual
Not in the history of the valley has
there been such scorching weather as
has been handed out to us during the
month of July, 1916, with the exception
of couple days, the temperature has
been above 80 degrees. Wausau has
had no heat prostrations, but it has
simply baked humanity, as if in ovens.
During the time since the 1st of July
we have had several rains during the
night time, the days have been, usual
ly, without clouds, and the sun has
blistered us with all the intensity it
possessed.
1t is said that Hicks predicted this
great heat to a day, but he declared
that conditions would be broken by
heavy rains and hail storms on the
29th, but they did not come, nor could
the various government bureaus see
any storms approaching throughout
the country on that date Our gov
eminent weather bureau has regis
tered each day as follows, up to date:

COOPERATIVE CATTLE BUYING
Big Advantages-Farmers and Bank
ers Working Together.

The plans of the Marathon County
Bankers, which have been developing
and growing for some little time, to
aid and further the purchasing of
better dairy cattle by the farmers of
this county, are meeting with the great
approval of all who might in any way
be interested. 1t is very likely that,
should present indications continue
to be as favorable, an order for a
carload of high class dairy cattle will
be placed sometime in the near future.
Cooperative buying of cattle is dis
tinctly advantageous to the indepen-
dent farmer. Should he buy several
COWS alone, he would have to pay
freight accordingly, nor would he have
the aid of buyers who are scientific
in their choice of the animals. The
farmer who takes advantage of the
Bankers ideas is sure to secure the
best cattle at the lowest prices, since
car load would be the average pur
chase, and he would secure the great
advantage of superior selections in
purchasing, besides the substantially
reduced freight rates, granted as a
result of car shipments.
At the present time it seems that
not only those who are not able to
finance their buying will take advan-
tage of the suggested method but that
those who are financially able to buy
their cattle outright, think that such
benefits would be secured from the CO.
operative buying scheme, that they
are also going to secure cattle with
the others. The plan is adaptable to
all classes of buyers.
Practically all the county bankers
are joining in the movement to help
the farmer enlarge his stock, better
it, and to bring better cattle to a
county which without doubt is des-
tined in the near future to become
one of the best dairying centers in
Wisconsin.
Not only will those who join in this
cooperative scheme ship in cattle
from a distance. They will endeavor
to scatter the surplus stock of those
who have their limit of cattle now.
However, most local dealers hold their
price too high and cattle can be ship
ped in in carload lots at cheaper
price per head than one would have to
pay for the surplus stock here. Far
mers throughout the county can get
in the swim by communicating with
the banks or schools in different dis
tricts.
The bankers can see the possibility
of our having the finest farms in the
state They see the advantage of hav-
ing the finest cattle that can be pur-
chased. The Marathon county far
mers are realizing the same things.
With all factions working together
in a single interest, ultimate success
must result.

CENTRAL SWIMMING POOL

During the hot stretch of the past
four weeks every single person in
the city, when they were not occupied
has been endeavoring to keep cool.
Perhaps the most popular places were
the swimming holes at Rothschild and
the Eau Claire villa. The late after
noon of each sultry and tiresome day
saw many of our people cooling off,
at one place or the other. Both places
have enticed hundreds into the water
and have done excellent service. How
ever, the distance to each of these
points is so great that an up town pool
of considerable size, so all could be
accommodated, would surely be appre-
ciated. If we are to judge by the
turnouts at the other places on hot
days, there is no telling how many
of the local people would become ex-
pert swimmers were the opportunity
to swim in safe and clean place af-
forded them. We can all look forward
at least to an up town swimming pool,
such as has recently been provided for
at Grand Rapids.

Prof. Henry Lund, state weed in
spector, will spend this coming week
in Marathon county, in the interest
of the eradication of weeds. There
are very few fields in this locality
which are seriously troubled by them
but at several places they have proved
troublesome. Weeds are detrimental
to the reputation of our farms, so Mr..
Lund's visit is very welcome. The
local Agricultural school will coop
crate with this expert.

TRUCK AND AUTO COLLIDE

A collision between the fire truck
and an automobile owned by August
Bahr, of the town of Stettin, occurred
at the corner of Genesee and West
Main streets yesterday afternoon, and
the automobile was almost complete
ly demolished as a result.
The fire truck was returning from
a fire in the Sixth ward and the Bahr
car, which was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. August Bahr and son, and Mr..
and Mrs Herman Bahr, was turning
south on Cenesee street. The fire
truck reached the corner before Mr..
Bahr anticipated it would, and his car
was struck by the truck, smashing
both front wheels. bending the body,
and doing untold injury to the front
part of the car.
The occupants escaped uninjured
with the exception of Mrs. August
Bahr, who received a cut across the
forehead and two stitches were nee
essary to close the wound.-Merrill

Aluminium discs, with name, rank
and address of each one in camp have
been distributed and each one of Co.

There are $4,000 men at Camp, Will
son, the balance are at various places
along the border. These soldiers
have to drill six hours every day.
1t is reported at the front, that all
college students are to be discharged
from the federal service. This af-
fects 80 Wisconsin guardsmen.
One soldier writes home that Camp
Wilson is a splendid camp, nicely To-
Gated and perfectly sanitary. Our
menu for yesterdays dinner was Ar
mour's steak, real bread, potatoes and
rice pudding.
Tarantulas are plenty in Texas and
there is about as much danger of be-
ing bitten by one of these poisonous
reptiles as there is of being hit by a
Mexican bullet. All are guarding
against them by putting in floors in
tents and using mosquito netting.
The weather now is what the north
ernerS call warm in Texas, but the
natives say, it is what they call cool; ;
that temperature will grow warmer
until about Oct. 1st, and very little
rain is expected during that time.
There is not bit of grass, not a tree
or bush on the whole reservation.

all were glad because none OF us

would have had a rough time of it.

mainland in China and through the
old walled town. 1t was the filthiest
place l ever saw. The Chinese and
their hogs live in the same room, and
the owners seem to take lot of pride
in showing their premises. This is
the way they make their living. The
butcher shops are all open and they
have no ice, the meats being laid on the
counter, while large blow flies crawl
all over them. IL is no wonder people
get sick here.
A few Americans were met in Hong

the time away. Singapore is fine

A BATHING BEACH AND PARK
Editor Pilot:

| Editor Pilot:
There has been much said about a
bathing beach, but no move has been
made to provide one. Why so much
talk anad no action? 1t has not even
been suggested where such beach
could be had, centrally located. AS a
citizen of Wausau, looking forward to
its best interests, and having children
who cannot swim a stroke, I would
urge upon our people to make sub
stantial move towards securing a
piece of ground on the river, which
could be used for a bathing beach and
a park, together with a playground
for our young people.
The people of Merrill are securing
grounds for a bathing beach by pri-
vate subscription.
Why cannot Wausau do the same,
and do it now?
Select such place and go after it.
Have it centrally located. 1t will
not do to have it placed only where
automobilists can have the benefit
of it
1t will not be so bad to have it
along the street railway line. where
it can be reached at a sc fare.
1t needs moderately high ground
where there is fresh running water
not contaminated by sewers.
A few thousand. dollars will pur-
chase the ground for park of ten to
fifteen acres.
This would be an excellent thing
for some of the clubs to take up and
do something worth while.

self life saver Friday evening of last

save himself. The boy had gone out
to swim in the lake and had gone
into deep water. Mr.. Seim hearing
his cries, siezed boat and rowed out
towards him, the boy in the meantime
going down twice. Just as he was
going down again Mr.. Seim reached
him and brought him ashore, the lad
being a little the worse for his ex-
perfence, and yowing he would never
again go near the water. Mr.. Seim
