HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS
MARKED
Marathon County to Enjoy Better
Roads = County is Aided by State
and Federal Governments on Mosi.
nee Road.

The highway commissioner of Mar
athon county. j. H. Vogt recently
opened the road between the Eau
Claire and Plover rivers after it had
been regarded. This stretch of road
in the townships of Ringle and Easton.
and PlOyer and Norrie, is in excellent
condition now and will be found to
improve as it is used.
Rumors, which have been circulated
for some time, that the road to MOST
nee will be greatly improved next
year We're apparently from pretty re-
liable sources. All information now
obtainable points to the construction
OF about four miles of excellent road
probably starting at Pine Grove GEM
etery and running on the state road
from there. 1t is expected that con-
crete will be used for the road bed.
Both the state and the federal gov
ernments will contribute towards the
road fund to the amount which the
county itself contributes. This is
expected to total about $4,000, so that
the total sum available for the con-
struction on the Mosinee road the
coming summer will be, 1t is hoped.
in the neighborhood of 100000. Anv-
thing which may be left over from
the cost of the four miles of concrete
road will be used on a disintegrated
granite road to extend on as far as
the available money will build it.
Rothschild, as an incorporated viii
lage, is willing to construct it's mile
or good road so that will ease the
burden on the county and will make
possible the construction of a greater
distance of road bed.
The state has just completed road
to the east of Plover the cost of which
has been 5000. There is more work
to be done in several parts of the
county fore the entire summers
work as outlined is completed.
The Wausau Chamber of Commerce
together with the assistance of the
Automobile Dealers association, and
with the splendid cooperation of the
towns and villages in the county, are
fully expecting to complete the plac-
ing of markings throughout the coun-
ty on all roads. CloVerleaf markings
OF white and green are being placed
on all local roads and in addition
the markings of the Yellowstone trail.
anu Otu6I TOduS Oh state ana nation
wide Importance, OF red and white
circles, are being placed where they
have not been so far.
The cloverleaf marking consists of
a white band eighteen inches wide
and bearing green cloverleaf. When
the work of the present season is
completed, 300 miles of road will be
well and clearly marked in every part
OF the county. Where it is possible.
every fifth telephone pole is being
marked.
The system of marking which has
been undertaken in Marathon county,
goes very we'll with the rapid improve
ments of roads. A little encourage
ment from the state and federal gov
ernments in the buildings of roads
goes a long way and especially when
II is OF financial nature.
Automobiles prove a delightful way
TO travel and more and more we find
people motoring through this part of
Wisconsin. Natural attractions are
abundant. All We need to do to induce
people to come our way" is to pro-
vide suitable roads upon which they
may travel.

OUR WATER SUPPLY

Work of purifying and clearing our
water continues and w. G. Kirchoffer
of Madison, hydraulic engineer of the
state department, is securing good re-
suits from his experiments. BY means
of sand filter treated with
mongonese oxide and iron oxide he
has succeeded in reducing the per
cent of iron fully one-half and ex-
poets to by further experiments make
much better showing. He is now
connecting up wells to supply the
pumping station by the airlift system
to ascertain how much of iron can
be removed by this process. The air
lift system has produced wonders in
removing the accumulated deposits
and purifying the water. 1t seems
as il We are on the right road to
secure a pure water supply, which
will be hailed with delight when it
is finally accomplished.

Reported By Telephone From Some-
 where in Germany.

(Tudor Jenks, in The Porcupine). Pray tell me, High Born Chancellor.
 what news from Uncle Sam ? You used to say, when he talked loud,
 he really was a lamb; He had no thought of making war;
 was fooled by simple tricks, And if he raised an army they'd have
 to drill with sticks, But now I'm hearing rumors-"
 May, Sir, the thing is naught He's only-well, uneasy. You see our
 foes have bought A lot of stuff on credit. and our Pro-
 fessors say That Uncle Sam has joined the war to
 make sure of his pay. Has joined the war, in theory; but
 there's no telling when" But what about ten millions of
 sturdy fighting men?" "on paper Sire! Statistics have
 proved beyond a doubt He hasn't got an army. and rifles have
 run out!" He's raising several billions to pay
 the piper's fee" Mere Yankee bluff, your Highness-
 all false. from A. to E." But who's this fellow Pershing the
 French and English met?" "Mayhap noted surgeon, Sire, or
 some West Point Cadet You know that Hindenburg's ad-
 vance"
 "Is closing on Berlin! A few more such advances and To-
 phet will begin!" 'The U-Boat Plan is thriving, and
 sure to be a winner!" "Um-yes! I spose so, Chancellor
 You ought to see my dinner! While Cousin George is dieting, and
 looks little pale, Our former Obese Fatherland is thin
 ner than ral Perhaps they'll feel the strain in time,
 if we can see it through But if we starve while waiting-how
 does 1t seem to you? You've Turkey, Sire, bit of
 Greece"
 Don't speak of Hungary! Some topics are too painful to men,
 tion, don't you see!" Dismiss these thoughts, your High
 ness! Just read the Tageblatt; The Junkers still are with you. Not
 all your men are shot What's that? The bell for dinner
 sounds sounds loudly on our
 ear!
 I hear there's potato! cannot

CITY BIDS ADIEU
 TO DEPARTING MEN
(Continued from First Page)

there were not the scenes which oc- cured two weeks ago. The only case of which the police had any knowledge was a little 14-year-old girl whose brother was leaving. AS she saw the train pull out, the little child went into mysteries and Captain T. w. Grace, in charge of the police who kept the crowd in order. had to care for her until she regained her com posture.
 Wednesday Night Farewells.
 Last night most of the men who were scheduled to leave today spent their time visiting their relatives and friends to say farewell, while the mar ried men spent their last night at home with their wives and families. some of the single men, several of whom are engaged to be married out nave had to postpone the nuptials because of the war, spent the even- ing with their f1ances. Several others spent the last night in New Britain in getting into trouble and only through the 1eniency of the police were they not obliged to appear in court this morning. Gustave Johnson and Her man Johnson got into a fight on Park street and were arrested by Officer M. J. Cosgrove Inasmuch as Gus tave was one of the draftees. he was excused, as was James McAmee, ar rested at the railroad station by De- tective A. J. Richardson for breach of the peace. Thomas Birmingham, former regular policeman, was also arrested last night on a charge of as- sault, but, as the offense was a minor one. he, too,, was excused in order that he might go this morning.
 Among the men who left today were a number of prominent Hebrews. and last night they were given a fare well party in Turner hall by about 800 of their friends. Benjamin Clark was chairman of the committee in charge, and each of the 16 soldiers was presented with shaving outfits. The young men for whom this party was arranged were Frank E. Abel. Leon Katz, Harry Berson, Irving Conan, Louis H. Kranowitz David B. Fendall. Edward Honeyman, Aleck Berg, Samuel H. Gross. Isadore Vein berg, A. J. Leventhal, Milton Welin- sky, Jacob Wrinkle. Jacob Goldberg. Samuel Dubray and George Sperry.
 Mayor Quigley Absent. Conspicuous by his absence this marched away, was Mayor George A. Quigley, who is away on a trip. Mayor Pro Tenn M. Irving Jester was also absent, and Alderman Angelo Paones- sa, senior alderman in the council, marched in the parade as acting mayor.
 There are several m nen whose names have been previously printed who did not have to go today, but will leave with the final fifteen per cont which Is to be called at some later date.

attended a ball. While in the mazes

attended a ball. While in the mazes of the dance the diamond bracelet was missed from her wrist Upon the discovery of it's absence she set up a cry of theft. AS she could not find the bracelet either then or on future searches she supposed 1t was stolen. Years after fortune dealt cruelty with her family and the girl raised in opulence was forced to work for a living. Having secured a posi- ton, she was forced to resort to her old clothes for garments in which to work She found an old cast-off worn-out cloak and set about re- modelling it. While sewing the lining of the garment her fingers touched the hidden treasure which had lain for years where it had fallen on the night of the ball. When the diamond bracelet was brought to light it netted her five thousand dollars. It merely goes to show that if young men and girls will look long enough and faith fully they will find treasure in their own sphere. Opportunity is general ly within hailing distance.

April 6, 1917, will always be a date or more than usual importance to all Americans for it was on that day at Ill D. m. President Wilson affixed his signature to a document announce ing that state of war existed between the United States of America and the German Empire.

Crossing Ocean in the Air.
(New York Herald).


 The promise, which sometime mes sounds like 8 threat, to cross the ocean in an air machine appears now and then in the columns of the press and undoubtedly has taken a firm hold on the-public mind. There are those still living who can recall the Graphic balloon that failed to start about forty years ago, and a greater number remember other fiascos of more recent years.
 That the feat eventually will be ac- complished Is alm most a certainty and 1t will go far toward establishing the commercial value of air traffic It who crosses the high seas in this fashion a renown that he will have no difficulty in marketing. For we are living in an era in which fame, once symbolized by the wreath of laurel, has been thoroughly commer- cialized and can be made to earn an income for it's possessor.

He was not worth a dollar when he struck the water, but when he reached the surface again un- harmed he knew that he had a for tune within his grasp. He who first crosses the Atlantic may profit by his example.
