 This list will suggest some of the lines along which you should work, whenever you have the chance. Many of the nou-commissioned officers in the National Army will be chosen not only because of the knowledge or skill they already possess, but also because they show capacity for further devel- opmont and for leadership.
 Developing SoldierIy Qualities
 This question of winning promotion a,l comes back to the question of mall- ing yourself a thorough soldier, of de- monsuatur that you possess loyalty disciplined obedience. physical fitness,  intelligence. cleanliness, chcerfulness, spirit. tenacity and self-reGance-the nine qualities of a soldier.
 The National Army must it itself for effective service at the front in the shortest possible time. To accom- p.tsh this result 1t must produce out O.. its own ranks men who are fitted for promotion first to places as non commissioned officers. either in the first contingent or more probably in later yontugents.
 This need is your opportunity. It is am opportunity not merely for per- souM adyauccment-which in time of war is small thing to work for-but more than that am opportunity to render ,o your country the most et- tecrtve service of which you are cap able. Strive to fit yourself for the duties and responsibilities of leader ship. Make yourself count to the ut most in the victorious defense Of our American rights and principles to which the National Army will devote itself

: DEATH OF ABRAHAM Simmer

Abraham Simmer, 81 years of age,
of Dubuque, Ia, died suddenly at his
home on Thursday. He was one of
the widest known Jewish philanthro-
pists in this country. While he made
gifts to charities and benevolent in
situations in Omaha, Waverly, Ia, st.
Paul, Milwaukee and Chicago, he has
strenuously objected to any notoriety
in connection with his donations.
Philanthropy was his creed and sec
retarianisn offered no bar to his field
of charity, which was bestowed on in
digent age, the sick and the orphan
He started poor boy and became
immensely wealthy. He read litera-
ture on broad scale and the bible
was a fertile field of study. From it's
pages he cleaned the text that it is
more blessed to give than to receive,
and made it his guiding light He
said Il regard my wealth as God-given,
am merely the custodian of the mon
ey with which l am blessed
He was an uncle of Jacob Simmer,
formerly of this city, and an init
mate friend of our fellow townsman,

BIG SCARE IN PORTAGE COUNTY

These are the days when a few
words spoken in jest or said in a
meaningless remark, after passing
from one person to another, is en-
larged so that when it finally reaches
the public, some truly loyal person
stands out as disloyal and a subject
fit to be transported, and by some, to
be put to death for treason. So one
must take the hearsays with a de-
gree of allowance and before peddling
them about, sift them to the bottom
and get at the truth and set the
wronged persons right. A sample is
told by the Stevens Point Journal,
showing how hysterical some people
are:
Residents of Bancroft few days ago
were startled to receive a warning
over the telephone from a woman liv-
ing on farm in that vicinity that
stranger, doubtless a German ennis
sary, was at work in the pastures,
working with a strange instrument.
She believed he was trying to poison
the stock. The alarm was quickly Civ
en- and 40 men, armed with rifles and
shot guns, hurried to the scene. The
informant pointed out the place where
the man was last seen and a section
of the woods was quickly surrounded.
Nobody coming forth, a search of the
thicket was made without finding the
fugitive.
Returning to the village the posse
overlook a stranger walking along
the track, carrying a net on a pole.
1t kept kept close behind him as far
as the depot and maintained a watch
over him until the train departed.
Some favored arresting the stranger
on suspicion and notifying the sheriff,
but evidence not being considered suf-
ficient, he was permitted to depart in
peace.
Later it developed that the unknown
man was naturalist who was search
ing the woods and marshes for
strange specimens of butterflies and
other insects. He did not know that
he was under suspicion or how near
death he was at. the time the posse
was considering firing into the woods
to rout the intruder. Evidently he
attributed the attention he received to
friendly curiosity. Some of the Ban
croft people, who did not credit the
spy story, were of the opinion that
the visitor was one OF the members
of the Stevens Point State Normal
faculty. Inquiry today, however, of
r. w. Fairchild, who has charge of
expeditions of this kind, disclosed that
none of the Normal teachers had been
at Bancroft on work of this kind in
the last couple of weeks at least. Mr..
Fairchild thought the naturalist might
have been University Of Wisconsin
man, or if Normal man at all, posi-
bly, student.

MERRILL FAIR

The Merrill fair proved an attrac-
ton to many Wausau people who have
cars and for several evenings the
east and west roads to the Lincoln
county city were constantly used by
automobiles going to and from that
city. The fair was success despite
the early date at which it was held.
Inc exhibits, so it has been reported.
were not as inclusive or extensive as
usual, but with a late season for some
crops this could well be expected. In
attendance the fair was satisfactory.
Automobiles are bringing the cities
of the Wisconsin river valley closer
together and if extensions of interur-
ban and street car lines cannot be Sc
cured, why not the jitney or some
plan of similar nature?

me wisconsin Retail Grocers and
General Merchants association con-
Guided its final session last Wednes-
day, after holding a three day con-
ventlon in this city. Delegates went
home feeling that they had derived
much benefit from hearing the ex-
perience OF others and also from the
several excellent talks on subjects of
general interest to all members of
the association.
among the things of interest which
the association did the last day was
the placing of the question of the state
legislatures putting a tax ON all
goods sold in this state by mail or
der houses in the hands of it's secre-
tary, M. Slattery. The matter will
later be taken up with members of
the legislature. This is at least pro-
lection for local dealers who are often
seriously affected by intruding mail
order houses. s.
Other things of especial interest
were taken up. The association dis
approved employers purchasing sup
plies and other necessities for dis
tribution to employees. This. they
claimed, crowds dealers out. The CO.
operative delivery plan was approved
and it was urged that an effort be
made throughout the state in cities
to introduce the cooperative deliv-
cry system.
Sheboygan was chosen for the 1918
convention. An effort was made by
Madison to secure it, but the vote
was 40 to q against that city. Late
Wednesday afternoon an invitation
was received from Milwaukee.
Among other things of interest the
latter part of the session were the at
tempt to change the name of the as
ISOLATION and the raising of dues to

day afternoon with the election of the
following officers for the coming year:

man, of Racine.
Wednesday afternoon the visitors

the shooting park, where a short time
was spent.
The Hotel Bells was the scene of
an evening party and cabaret on the
same evening. There was also band
