JULY FOURTH

This is a year when patriotism of
country fills the hearts of every in
dividual 1t takes but the flourish of
the stars and stripes, of the strains of
the "Star Spangled Banner" to raise
the enthusiasm of the populace. 1t is
the year to celebrate the greatest day
of our nation-the Fourth of July. A
rousing celebration of that day will
meet with such approval as has never
been in the history of our city. Let
it not be made a money-making af-
fair. Raise few hundred dollars
in gate receipts to pay for incidentals,
such as firing of guns at sunrise, bands
of music; a gathering of the citizens
at 10 a. M; parade on foot, in car
riages, automobiles, etc, to the fair
grounds; reading of the Declaration
of Independence, speeches, music, pic
mic dinner, baseball, foot and hurdle
races. jumping, and games in general;
all to end with fire works; each con-
tributing to the fund that which he
would spend for the purpose at home,
if there was no celebration. Some
one start the ball rolling.
Let us have a celebration that will
give the young of our city something
in the way of a display of patriotism,
to think about the rest of their lives.

GANIZED
Joe Thompson and Herman Katz viii
Have Active Charge of New
Company

Memphis, Tenn, May S.-One of the
most interesting developments in the
Memphis hardwood field recently has
been the reorganization of the Riel-
Kadel Lumber Company. Joe Thomp-
son is now president of the re-organ-
| lied company, and Herman Katz vice
president and these two gentlemen
will have active charge of the bust
ness of the firms. Charles G.
Kadel until recently president of the
company, will continue to act as di-
rector in the reorganized company,
together with William Pritchard, who
was aHo d director in the old COM
pany
The new company takes over the
buying and selling contracts of the
old company and will continue to con-
duct a wholesale business as in the
past, specializing in white ash.
Joe Thompson has had fifteen years
experience in Southern hardwoods,
having for the past five years been
ce-president of the Dudley Lumber
Company, Inc. of this city, the we'll
known ash specialists. He brings to
the company a valuable experience
in the handling of ASH being in close
touch with the producers as well as
with the consuming markets. Herman
Katz has had twelve years experience
in the Southern hardwood business,
principally in Memphis, and is the
nephew of Moses Katz, former vice
president of the E. Sondheimer Com
pany.
| In addition to it's domestic business
| the company plans to conduct an ex-
tensive export business, its cable ad-
dress being "Tomkats. .'-Southern
Lumberman, Nashville.
Herman Katz was a son of Simon
Katz and was born in Wausau. He is
a nephew of our fellow townsman
Moses Katz. Joe Thompson was long
! in the employ of Moses Katz in the
| lumber business at his headquarters
in Chicago. The many friends of the
young men in Wausau are pleased tC
hear of their success.

PILOT FORCE WILL HAVE SATUR
DAY AFTERNOONS DURING
THE SUMMER

Commencing last Saturday, the force
of the Wausau Pilot was given Satur-
day afternoon, so that each member
can spend the half day in recreation
as he chooses. This will continue dur
ing the summer months.
The office will not be closed but
some one will be present to receive
subscriptions, take orders, etc. 1t is
hoped the community will cooperate
with the proprietor and bring in such
work in the line of printing as is
wanted, advertisements, ETC., before
Saturday noon. The Pilot, we think,
is the first paper in Wisconsin to give
its force Saturday afternoon for re-
creation.
part of the afternoon has always
been given its employees since the Pilot
came into the hands of the present
manager, thirty-three years ago.

THE NEW BRIDGE

Everybody is pleased to know that
a new concrete bridge is to be built
across the river at Big Bull Falls -
1t will be built the full width of the
street. 1t cannot be built any too
soon as the old bridge has been con-
demned and an accident there would
mean loss of life and cost the city
much more than a new bridge. Mayor
'Marquardt is certainly doing things
and the many valuable improvements
pushed by him is making Wausau
what it should be. A few years of his
policy will place this city among the
very progressive ones of the country
as well as among the most beautiful.

GRADUATION EXERCISES
Of the Wausau High School, at the High
School Auditorium, Wednesday
and Thursday Evenings

nized Gilbert Eckerle as Gaspard, a
Miser, was very much appreciated,
playing his part in a very 'creditable
manner. The work of Howard Wiiter-
ding in the part of the Baiili, is
worthy of much praise william Al
bers interpreted the part of The
Registrar in pleasing manner. AL
bert Halder' was very good as The
Assessor and added greatly to the play.
The Notary was taken most ably by
Warner Bump, who portrayed his part
in a pleasing manner. The Misses
Gertrude Papkalla, Verna Gensman,
Stella Mohr, Winifred DeVoe and Mona
Becker, as Village Maidens, deserve
much praise. The above named were
the principal characters in the opera.
The Maid Servants, Citizens Wives,
Farmers Wives, Citizens Daughters,
Fishermen's Wives, Peasant Girls,
Coachmen, Grooms, Footmen, Men
Servants, Citizens, Farmers, Fisher
men, Sailor Girls, and Sailor Boys de-
serve much credit for the triumphant
presentation, but as there were a large
number taking part in the above roles
in ensemble numbers, individual men
tions are limited A bewildering var
iety of striking costumes and some
beautiful singing was displayed by
the above characters.
The task of directing a production
of the proportions of 'The Chimes of
Normandy" or THE Bells of Corn
VILE" is no light one, and Miss Emma
Roeser and Miss Marilla Zellhoefer,
deserve much praise for the artistic
success of the same. The excellent
work of the soloists and of the chorus
es is due to the splendid training given
by Miss Roeser, while the most beau
tiful dances and the exact movements
are due to the untiring work of Miss
Zellhoefer.
Excellent music was rendered by the
orchestra directed by Miss Roeser,
and it was not without a good deal
of work, both on the part of the
director and the players, that such
splendid music could be furnished.

Receiving of Diplomas

4
Immediately following the class play
the graduates gathered upon the ros-
trum to receive their diplomas. When
the curtain raised, it was upon a scene
which thrilled the audience, for it was
perhaps the first time that this large
gathering was conscious of the fact
that these young men and women were
about to receive the reward for four
years of hard wark, and the gradual
ing class of 1917 was given an ap-
plause, which they will long remember,
and which they so well deserved.
Standing in front of this splendid class
was S. B. Tobey, superintendent of our
city schools, who in the absence of
G. D. Jones, president of the Board of
Education, and W. w. Albers, vice.
president, made an eloquent presentas
tion speech to the graduates. Mr..
Tobey, as usual, gave a beautiful adj
dress, replete with excellent thought
and advice, in which he urged the
graduates to assume their response
bilities with courage and with aim to
to all things right. He also compli-
mented the class very highly and
wished them all possible success.
Following the presentation of di-
plomas, Rev. Donald S. West, associ-
ate pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, gave the benediction.
The graduates then received the
sincere congratulations and best wish
es for the future from their relatives
and friends.
Thus passed the Wausau High school
graduating class of 1917 into history.
Following are the names of the
graduates and the courses from which
they graduated:

Last Wednesday and Thursday even
ings, June 9Th and 7th, the Wausau
High school class of 1917 made its
last appearance as Seniors, and joined
the ranks of Wausau alumni.
The Opera
On Wednesday evening one of the
most successful and beautiful operas
ever presented by a graduating class
was staged and the heavy production
was THE Chimes of Normandy" or
"The Bells of Cornville," and those
participating did themselves proud in
their excellent singing and dancing.
The opera is by Robert Planquette and
staged in three acts, taking place in
the old French village of Cornville
in Normandy. Henri, Marquis .of
Cornville, who has been since child
hood, owing to civil war, an exile, re
turns to his ancestral home on the
occasion of a great annual fair, which
is being celebrated in the village that
receives it's name from his chateau.
It is one of the old-fashioned Norman
villages of the seventeenth century.
The play opens with an assemblage
of village gossips, discussing scandal
and small talk. Serpolette is the main
topic of conversation among the Bellies
of COrnville. Gaspard, an old miser,
wishes to marry his niece, Germaine,
to the principel magistrate of the dis
trict, the Bailli. This does not suit
Germaine, nor young fisherman, Jean
C~eniCheux who pretends he saved
her from drowning at one time. The
second act is in a hall of the castle
of COrnYille, while the third act repre-
sents the grand fete given in honor
of the return of Henri to his ancestral
home A love duet between Germaine
and Henri, and the reconciliation of
all the parties, bring the opera to a
close.
