SOCIETY ITEMS
Social Gatherings of the Past Week
In Wausau and Vicinity
For Pilot Readers.

The Red Cross drive which opened
| one week ago and closes this Christ
mas eve, has been the one topic of
interest during the past few days,
and the workers have been true to
assigned to them. Social life has
been given over entirely to this work.
Attractive booths, decorated with
flags. patriotic colors and Red Cross
emblems have been fitted up in stores,
banks and all principal business
houses through the city; and each day,
morning and afternoon, these booths
have been occupied by young ladies,
who dressed in the immaculate and
becoming uniform of the Red Cross
order, have gained the attention of
many Christmas shoppers and by
their earnest talk have added many
names to the membership list. The
ladies in almost every instance have
been treated ocourteouSly. In some
cases, people who seemed disinterested
at first, were won over by these
earnest workers and have taken men,
berships. A house to house canvass
has also been made by the men of the
city. AS yet it is impossible to tell
the complete returns of the drive, but
it is safe to say that the week has
been most profitable one, and those
who have given their time and ener-
gies to this work can feel amply re-
paid for their efforts; for the past
week has added scores of names to
the already long list of Red Cross
membership.

AMERICAN STEAMER
 FIGHTS SUBMARINE
Fired Six Shots at U-Boat Off Irish COast-Is Not Known Whether Any of the Shells Hit the Mark.

New York, May 9.-An armed American line steamship which ar rived here tonight from a European port reported that her gun crew fired six shots at German submarine off the coast of Ireland on May 2. The undersea boat immediately submerg- ed and it was impossible to determine whether any of the shots took effect.
 The periscope of the submarine was sighted about 6 p. m. and the Ameri- can vessel immediately swung around to afford the American gunners an opportunity for accurate aim. The undersea craft disappeared simul- taneously with the firing of the first shell, it was said, and did not reap pear. The American ship then put on full speed and proceeded on her course.
 On board the vessel were six mem- bers of the crew of the Norwegian bark Skiold, sunk off the Irish coast by German submarine on April 1, and three members of the crew of the Norwegian bark Vestelo, sunk April p. The Skiold was bound from New York to Glasgow and the Vestelo from Mobile to Belfast.
 In addition to the crews of the Nor wegian barks, the American liner had on board 29 first, 2S second and 34 third class passengers.

GAINING EFFICIENCY IN LABOR

Farm work like labor anywhere may be irksome or pleasant according to whether or not the laborer is inter- ested or works under compulsion. If the task urges one on, one will hardly enjoy it; but if the interest is so great that one feels that he is doing some thing really worth while he will hard ly realize that the task is a difficult one.
 To make difficult work light we should understand the task fully and realize the value of the results.
 We should have good reasons for everything we do and strong desire for doing it well. When we have such incentives the work is likely to be easy and we generally get pleasure from having accomplished the task.
 But it is very difficult to find pleas ure in a task where we must contend with the forces of resistance without the aid of implements, machines and other conveniences needed. If the hands must compete with machines and implements then the worker does not find pleasure in the work. Such work is irksome and causes fatigue.
 We owe it to ourselves, to the busi- ness of farming, to save our physical strength and general efficiency by making use of labor saving aids in farm work.
 Improved machinery, farming i'm plements and household conveniences give pleasure and comfort. They are required to rest the body and exercise the mind. They interest young peo- pie and thus help them train the mind. Farm and Ranch

COALITION MINISTRY
 FOR RUSSIA FAVORED
Provisional Government Issues Declaration to That Effect Letters Are Addressed to the Several Organizations.

Petrograd, May 9, via London.- The Russian government today issued a declaration in favor of a coalition ministry.
 Minister of Justice Kerensky has sent letters to the Duma, the com mittee of the Sodiers and Workmen's Council and the Socialist parties, in- viting the representatives of the de- mocracy to share the burden of power.
 The present provisional government was formed shortly after the revolu- tion to hold office until a national as- sembly should determine the form of Russia's political institutions. This government, and particularly Foreign Minister Milukoff, have been opposed on questions of international policy by the radical Council of Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies, and recently threatened to resign unless given a free hand to prosecute the war vigor- ously and observe the agreements en- tered into by the country with it's allies.
 The workmen's and soldiers dele gates then decided by a close vote to uphold the government, and it was stated that the crisis had been passed.

LETTER TO JUDGES REGARD
 ING MOTHERS PENSIONS

Little Rock, May 10.-State Labor Commissioner Ben D. Brickhouse has addressed letter to the county judges of the forty counties in which the Mothers Pension law applies, be- ing Act No. 326. This gives the judges discretion to allow maximum pension of $10 for the first descend ant child, and $5 for each additional child, under the age of 15, where the mother has no other means of sup port. He says:
 "As this law comes under our de- partment, and as I understand, be- fore money could be paid out by the county there would have to be fund created by the quorum court for this specific purpose, which 1 presume would be called the Mothers Pension Fund, I thought it would not be bad idea to call your attention to the fact now, so if you desire, you could call it to the attention of your quorum court in order to have a specific ap- propriation provided for so that if any such matters were referred to you, and you thought you would be justified, you would then be in a posi- tion to re' der whatever help you saw ft"
