July, and that patriotic meetings
and demonstrations should be held
upon that day, and,
WHEREAS, The use of firemans
and other explosive materials COM
monty used in Fourth of July cele-
brations might be made the excuse
or pretext of unfriendly persons to
have dangerous matter in their po-
session and afford an opportunity
for its use, in case opportunity for
such use should be sought for the
destruction of life and property in
this State.

The Kid Has Gone to the Colors.

The Kid has gone to the colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cudded
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him child, baby,
With never care at all,
But his country called him man size,
And the Kid has heard the CALL
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered
Comet
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriotic joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy
The Kid has gone to the colors;
1t seems hut little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him. shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her!-cried
Yet, blest with mother nature,
She wept with mother pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
Was granddad-for memory ran
To years when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the flag to man!

Last Friday was the last day of the
Find Yourself campaign. This has
been a very successful campaign and
was confined to High school boys. The
idea was to find out what kind of work
a boy was the best fitted for.
The Leaders club met at the Y on
Thursday evening. This line of work
is bringing many young men to the
front to take responsible positions.
Yesterday one of the boys, playin g
billiards run his cue through the win
dow in his efforts to make carom
shot. The glass falling to the side
walk was heard for many blocks.

LETTER FROM WAUSAU BOY IN

Dear Mr. Tobey:
l suppose you will be real sur
prised TO hear from me but I have
been thinking of the High school and

like the life real well and it is very
educational, but / can not get home
on a furlough which I would like to
do, but our country needs our help
and | am going to sea in ten days. 7
wish you would please tell Miss Den
nison where l am, as she always took
so much interest in me and for my well
fare. I am now trying real hard to
make something of myself and taking
all I can get
Mr.. Tobey, I think that you ought
to have military training at the High
school and In all OF the High schools,
as think it is almost a necessity in
the present state of affairs with Ger
many, and I think we will sure have
war. l wish the High school lots of
good luck and to the city of Wausau,
city | will always stand for and live
for. Please write me good letter
and tell me what you think of the
navy and of the feeling I take now
of life. Also, tell Mr.. Painter I would

II o'clock noon on the second day of
April, 1917, to receive a communica-
ton by the executive on grave ques-
tons Of international policy.
'Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will

The past week has been mild and
springlike, and at no time for many
years has the snow melted on our
streets and the water run off so nicely,
as this spring. One Of our city of
ficers says there are several hundred
catch basins in our city. They were
thawed out early and the covering of
snow prevented their freezing. Since
warm weather came it has not been
cold enough to freeze up the catch
basins, hence they have continued to
carry. off the water freely. 1t really
looks as five were going to have spring
right with us from now on.

been organized which have opened up
large producing wells.

There are hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of foodstuffs being
shipped to Europe every week, not
withstanding our own stocks are run
ming low. Should we not profit by the
example of Europe? What would they
have done If we had not supplied them
with foodstuffs? Who will supply or
help US out in case we get into trou-
Bile, or have a failure in cur crops d?
With our present stock of foodstuffs,
running low, should it not be a case
of preparedness to see that our eoun-
try is kept in food in case of trouble q?
Why not be a little cautious for cur
selves and our people, for there is
no country that can help us out now,
as they scarcely have enough for
themselves. We thing it is the duty Of
our representatives and every citizen
Of the country to see that we are pre-
pared in this respect. In fact, it is
absolutely necessary to be prepared in
this regard for future trouble or wars.
Starvation brings on Generalization
and revolutions. This is a simple
remedy, and should be taken advan-
tage Of at once.
