ALEXANDER PARK

Probably the most popular of Wau-
saus parks is Alexander's on jim
Moore creek. 1t certainly is the most
beautiful with its high wooded bluff
and the Horseshoe spring, and the out
let of Jim Moore creek forming a min
iature lake. Almost at all hours OF
the day and evening you can find some
one there enjoying sromp among the
trees, picking flowers and then finish
ing off with picnic lunch. The little
folks are especially attracted to this
park.
The creek outlet can be easily pre-
pared for a wading place by hauling
a few loads of sand along the shore
line. Then as a canoe beach it is
second to none.
just one Objectionable thing is no.
ticeable. Picnic parties have formed
the habit of leaving the remains of the
lunch, such as tin cans, paper plates
and waste paper, making the place
very unsightly at times. These things
should be destroyed after each meal or
carried off in some out of the way
place. Lets keep our parks and pub
JIG places sweet and clean.

ADVENT OF SUMNER

Last Thursday, June 21st, was the
longest day of the year, with fifteen
hours of daylight. 1t is also the day,
which, according to chronicles, notes
the advent of summer. The day was
bright and sunny, but cool; still it
was the nearest approach to summer
that we have experienced and it gives
us the hope that we may have some
warm weather before winter sets in.
Recent rains have done much toward
helping vegetation and the gardens
and crops are coming along nicely.
But we need good, warm, summer
weather to make the vegetables grow
and the flowers blossom. Just now a
little hot weather would make the
gardens hum, for things grow swiftly
when they get start, and it is for
tunate in this climate that this is so,
for with our late springs, there is
very little time for vegetation to ma
ture. Let us hope that the coming
weeks may bring us bright sunshine
and warm, growing weather.

COUNTRY ROADS

When the farmer really makes up
his mind to do a thing he does it we'll.
Anyone can prove this statement by a
trip through the country on the many
fine country roads, many of them supe-
rior to many of our paved city streets.
Go where you will, everywhere you
will find the roads kept up in good
shape by the use of the road drag.
This is true even in the hewer settle
mentS. Once in while you find a sec
tion where some mercenary road
maker has neglected to properly fin
ish his job by cutting up the sod
which he has hauled into the center
of the road. and rolling it down, but
his kind are few and a few arrests
and fines will finish him. Bue never
theless, our farmers are to be con-
graduated as to the manner in which
they are now taking care of their
roads. Keep it up, boys!

Adjutant General Holway has ad-
dressed a communication to all Wis
consin National Guard commanders
advising them that war department
orders will very probably be issued
in the very near future. Strengthening
the individual units of the state guard.
He intimates that the strength of each
unit may be increased to be composed
of at least $50 men.
The adjutant general strongly ad-
vises the youth of the state to enlist at
once and not wait for the draft under
the federal conscription law.

necessary for Co. G of this city, to en-
list several more new recruits from

MANY WILL BE REJECTED

Americas armies will be made up
of the finest physical manhood of the
nation" says Webb Miller.
Army physicians on Tuesday esti-
mate that nearly 40 per cent of the
men brought to the colors by selec-
tive draft will be rejected upon the
first physical scrutiny, so severe are
the examinations. Nearly 100000
must be drawn to get the 625,000 for
the first levy. At present the rejec-
tions in the regular army average 40
tc 60 per cent of the applicants.
Here are the general requirements
for the army:
Height-Not less than five feet, four
inches, nor more than six feet.
Weight-Not less than 1923 pounds or
more than 100.
Lungs and heart must be we'll nigh
perfect. Any heart "murmur" disqual-
ifies.
Hearing and sight must be good.
Color blindness is not necessarily a
disqualification.
Chronic diseases or mental disorders
cause rejection. Loss of fingers or
toes, or an ear, are qualifications.
Flat feet or deformed feet are also
causes for rejection.
The surgeons examine closely for
any affection of the kidneys or chest.
At least four molar teeth are neces-
sary.
This war will be won by young
men," said an official of the medical
corps. That's why we will win
we've got the most and the best young
men,"

WILL THERE BE A DRAFT
IN WISCONSIN

Adjutant General Orlando Holway
says that when President Wilson pro-
claims the first draft to fill the regu-
lar army and the National Guard, he
will1find Wisconsin ahead of the sched-
ule. AS the general has just COM
pleted a roll of the state, he is in a
position to know.
Under the draft act the quota for
each state is determined according to
the population and credit is to be
given for the number of men who were
in military service in the guard on
April /, or who have entered the
guard or the regular army since that
date. Holway's toll does not include
the men who have enlisted in the reg
ular army since April l. He is still
seeking this information.
According to Gen. Holway's fig
ures the following counties will be
exempt from the first draft: Ashland,
Forest, Green, Pepin and Sawyer.
Marathon county must furnish 430
to be exempt from the first draft.
Gen. Holway, however, is urging en-
Iistment in the guard or regular army
continually in the hope that when the
second draft comes Wisconsin will al
ready have completed it's quota of 32,-
500. A campaign to enlist 1000 men
has been started in forty-five counties
in Wisconsin, and the date set for the
completion of this work is July l. If
the goal is reached, 100 men must
volunteer for service every twenty
four hours, or four to a county.
The following counties must also
furnish additional men to be exempt
from the first. draft as follows:

WAUSAU CITIZENS
TRAIN FOR SERVICE
All Glasses Rub Elbows as Men Drill
in Unique Military Organization.

Wausau has unique military or
ganization, unattached to any branch
of the state or national service, but
one of which the members are fitting
themselves, both physically and in the
rudiments of military knowledge and
drill, for service for the government
whenever they may be called. The
name adopted is the Wausau Citizens
training camp The organization
which has $50 members, is thoroughly
democratic. 1t is also thoroughly
cosmopolitan. Every class and almost
every nationality is represented. On
its roll are the names of capitalists,
men prominent. in the professions,
and business and manufacturing
circles, agents, clerks and laborers.
These drill together, rub elbows as
brothers and in every association
evidence the 'Wausau spirit" which
has made this city busy and prosper
Gus and it's people happy.
The camp was organized for patri-
otic reasons and because those who
have become members realized that
the worlds war is not joke but a
serious proposition. They were will
ing to give of their time for prepared
ness as readily as they were to re-
spond to the call for money for the
Y. M G. A. army work, the fnanc-
ing of the Red Cross and the pur-
chasing of liberty bonds.
The camp is not one of play. The
members meet at stated times, drill
upon the streets and at the high
school campus, striving earnestly to
attain proficiency. They are under
command of former Lieut.. Carl
Behnke, who saw service in the
Spanish American war and on the
Mexican border. During the hours
of drill the discipline is rigid and
millionaire and laborer are put
through their PAGES strenuously.
Former Lieut.. Fred r. Becker also is
a worker for the profici ency of the
camp and Lieut.. Frank n. Drake,
who is here on recruiting duty for
Company G, gives further aid The
members, after several weeks of
training, are getting into fine physical
condition and are fast mastering all
the details of the many maneuvers of
actual army service.
The camp is a lso unique in that it
has no officers except the drill master
and corporals. A board of managers
of which A. P. Woodson, w. B.
Heinemann, n. H. Bells and Lieut..
Fred r. Becker are members, have
control of the affairs of the camp.
They chose the list of corporals which
includes c. c. Yawkey, Guy K. Good
ing, n. FL. Bells, G. H. Barwig,
William thinner, George S. Gifin,
Ralph w. Collie, R. B. Young, D. j.
