SAY RAILROADS CAN
 SPARE MEN FOR FRANCE
Pres Looms of Lehigh Believes Revision of "Fu Crew. And Inspection Regulations Would Release Thous- ands of Good Men-Would Also Suspend Valuation Work. 8c

now and the certainty that we are going to do everything to keep the railroads moving at the highest point of efficiency, my point is that this over and super-inspection is one of those luxuries we might forego for the period of the war.
 "Then there is the physical vafua- ton work being. done by the Inter state Commerce Commission. This is tying up several thousand engineers and other experts who are needed badly There is work of a vital na- ture for them either here or abroad, but the practical value of what they are doing now is, to say the least ex- tremely unquestionalble.
 And finally we have the so-called full crew laws, imposing upon the railroads extra men for train service which experience has proven abso- lutely unnecessary. Happily, New Jersey has taken the lead in making l the law less burdensome by permit ting the reduction wherever the rail.
 roads can show the extra men are un'
 necessary. Pennsylvania is expected
 to suspend the law during the war. I other states which have enacted thf
 foolish legislation will follow suit l not only will our man power be in creased but the efficiency of the rail roads greatly improved"

 Vital aid for France and Russia In the. solution of their. transportation problems and increased wartime ef- ficiency for this country is obtainable through the elimination of duplica- ton of inspection service on Amerl- can railways in the opinion Of E. E. Loonis, president of the Lehigh val ley Railroad.
 s'It goes without saying" said MT, L,oomis, "that I believe, in overlook ing nothing which goes to insure ab- soiute safety for passenger ana handle them This railroad complies with all government and state regu- lations and our, inspectors are con- stantly watching that these conditions do not change.
 "Is this then not the ideal time to cut out the duplication and re-dupll- cation of our efforts by state and gov ernment authorities? :? The state com missions and the Interstate Com merce Commission have hundreds o1 expert railroad men in their employ whose only duties are the checking uI of, our efforts to protect our own peo niesethe passengers whos ride on oul trains and the shipments we handle Zeal for safety always is commend able, but with the abnormal deman' for railroad men abroad existing rlgh'

STOCK MARKET ~~~~~


 New York; Aug.f f---Mixed changes at the beginning or today's trading indicated the confusion in the specu- lative market. Motors were, again pressed for sale on rumors and lead ing steels fell away large fractions to a point Some of the equipments and shipping recorded similar reactions. The few strong issues, include tobac- cos, Utah Copper, United States Run- bers aridI Harvester. .S A8
 -Prfces rose and fe1r in ainaess fash ion during the short session. Dealings were nominal and of the customary weekend character. Steels and mo- tors showed a continuance of their re- cent pressure, while other equipments, coppers. shippings and prominent to- baccos moved to higher levels. General Motors lost three points and Maxwell a point United States Steel and asso- cfated stocks hardened later on mod crate support, but railroads and the usual active speciafties were almost entirely neglected. The closing was irregular. Sales approximated 100000 shares. Liberty bonds sold at 99.62, to 99.68,

Straight Dough Receipt
 For Potato Bread

To make four one-pound loaves of potato bread, use: 3 pounds boiled and peeled potatoes; IA pounds bread flour; 1 1-2 level tablespoons salt; level tablespoons sugar; ? cakes compressed yeast: 4 table spoons water.
 Wash thoroughly and bail in their skins about 12 potatoes Of medium size. Cook them until they are very tender. Drain, peel, and mash them while hot, being careful to leave no Jumps. Allow the mashed potato to cool to 86 degrees F., or until luke warm. To pounds 6 solidly pack ed 1-2 pint cupfuls) of the mashed potato, add the yeast, which has been rubbed smooth in cup with table spoonfuls of lukewarm water. To get all the yeast. rinse the cup with the remaining tablespoonful of water and add this also to the potato. Next add the salt the sugar, and about 4 ounces of the flour q scant half-pint of 'sifted flour). Mix thoroughly with the hand, but do not add any more water at this stage.
 Cover the mixing bowl to avoid the | formation Of a crust on top and place out of the way of drafts to rise, where the temperature can not fall below so degrees F., or be much higher than s8 degrees F. Where the housewife l has no thermometer she should see I that the dough in all the risings is
 kept moderately warm, but not up to blood heat. Any water used in mix
 ing the dough should be moderately
 warm, but by no means hot. This
 sponge, If kept at the proper temper
 ature, should, after two hours, be-
 come quite light.
 To this well-risen sponge, which now will be found to be quite soft, add
 the remainder of the flour, knead-
 ing thoroughly until smooth and
 elastic dough Has been formed. The dough must be very stiff, since the boiled potato contains a large amount
 of water which causes the dough to
 soften as it rises. Do not add water
 to the dough unless it is absolutely
 necessary to work in the flour. Set 1 the dough back to rise again-tem- perature at about 86 degrees F.
 until it has trebled in volume, which will require another hour or two. Then divide the dough into four ap- preximately equal parts, reserving a
 tiny lump weighing 2 or ounces for an indicator" Shape the sample into

A MOTOR CYCLE SQUAD
Another Organization for National De-
fenSe-Meeting Called for Sat-
urday, April 2Sth.

In the city of Wausau and in Mara
thon county there are' about $50 men
Who operate motor cycles. Some are
very expert on these machines.
1t goes without saying that motor
cycle squad is far superior to the cav
airy. A motor cycle costs no more
than a horse; can get over the ground
many times faster; never gets tired;
can carry much more and with an
equipment of machine guns can do
quick and effective work.
The following circular which eX-
plains all was sent out today to the
motor men of the county and it is ex-
pected TO have squad of 100 on the
roll within a short time, viz:
''Wausau, Wis, April "A, 1917.
Dear Sir: We would appreciate your
presence at a meeting which will lbe
held April 2Sth. at 500 p m, at the
club rooms of WauSau Motor Cycle
club, corner Third and Washington
streets, for the purpose of organizing
Motor Cycle Squad.
AS this organization will answer Ma
tional Defense purposes we appeal To
the red blood in your veins and your
patriotism. Every red blooded rider
is welcome to join
Hurrah for the Wausau motor cycle
squad!
Other cities are having their caval,
~. Let Wausau give aid and assist
ance 10 the motor cycle squad.

GARDENERS NO MORE

There will be keen disappointment
to many when they come to look for
the trailing arbutus at Gardeners, for
the real beauty spot at Gardeners is
gone, nothing but the remains left.
And that beautiful drive down the
river through the pines is no more.
So they go one by one. While other
communities are spending hundreds
and thousands of dollars to re-create
breathing places, where the people can
again come close to nature, we here
are absolutely Indifferent with regard
to what we have in the way Of natural
parks and groves, and being owned by
individuals they are destroyed, in our
mad chase for the dollar, as though
the dollar without these things will
bring JOY, health and pleasure TO us,
and our children.
To preserve these wooded spaces
is good for the health and higher life
of the people We should therefore
think earnestly about keeping for pub
lie use what there is left of the nat
ural beauty spots.
There is Rib Mountain, Mosinee Hill,
Alexander and Forest parks, the pine
grove at the head OF East Washington
street, the Yellow Banks up the river,
and the islands right within our city
gates. Why not appropriate these for
public use. Options can be secured on
them at very reasonable prices. Well
never miss the money, and they would
be worth much to retain the picture
of beauty in which our city is set.
Life is more than getting the dollar,
let us cultivate the better parts of life.

WHAT DO, YOU THINK OF THIS

There was a hearing recently of the
State Board of Control relative to the
removal of a woman from the board.
For the reason perhaps, that Mara
thon county's assemblyman, d. S. Bur-
nett, being a new member, and desir-
ing more attention brought to his
bright budding genius, bobbed up
to give his evidence, why in his opin-
ion, woman should not be kept upon
the board 1t was the most braZen-
faced insult to the members of the
Associated Charities of Wausau, that
can be conceived. Jessie L. Hooper,
who was present at the hearing in ref
erence to Assemblyman Burnett
says:
"He said that a Judge has commit
ted a family of small children to the
State Home at Sparta and that two
nurses from the Associated Charities
had snatched the children from the
parents, taking a nursing babe from
the arms of its mother who that the
men present, officers of the law, stood
with bowed heads before the grief
of that mother and could not do such
a heartless, cruel thing He said it
was done in the cruelest way posi-
BILE, that the women were absolutely
heartless. l asked him if the children
had not been committed by the Judge,
if some one did not have to take them
from the father and mother, and if he
did not think it was cowardly to re-
fuse to do it. He said of course they
had to be taken. but it was the heart
less way in which it was done. He
also stated that hundred and fifty
cases had occurred in Wausau where
nurses. of the Associated Charities
were absolutely heartless."
At a meeting of the Associated
Charities recently Mr.. Burnett's state
ments were branded as absolutely
false From all accounts it looks as
if the Federated Charities has gained
the i'll will of the Assemblyman at one
time or another and he had taken this
way of getting even.
He must remember, however, that
an untruth is a boomerang.

TROUBLE AT BEVENT

Warrants were issued Tuesday and
Wednesday for the arrest Of Emil
Dahlman. Barney Dahlman, Tusensk,
John Wanta and Stephen Willow
ski. all of Bevent and charged with
assault with intent to do bodily harm
TO BAIL Hoppa of the town of
Pike Lake. The trouble arose over a
line fence between the properties of
Mr. Hoppa and his neighbor, Andrew
lick Mr. Hoppa attempted to destroy
the fence and while thus engaged he
was shot from ambush, the charge
entering his left side.-but he has no
knowledge of who fired the gun. The
wounded man was brought to this
city and taken to st. Mary'S hospital,
with fair chances for his recovery.
Those arrested charged with the as
sault, were arraigned in municipal
court Wednesday forenoon and the
date for their examination was set
for next Saturday; the bail bonds of
each was fixed at $1,000. Much interest
it is expected will be conferred in this
strangely complicated case.
