WAUSAU CHAUTAUQUA NOTES

Last evening concluded another
| chautauqua in Wausau. The program
this year was of high quality and in
cluded poetry, painting, sculpture,
music, science, etc.
The chautauqua was held at Roth
schild park again this year, which al
so helped a great deal in making it
a success. The park is an ideal place
for meetings of this kind. The beauti-
full Lake Wausau offers splendid OPP
portunities for boating, swimming,
bathing, etc. Many of the chautau-
qua goers had picnic suppers at the
park during the season. Mr.. Chris
tiansOn, who is in charge of the din
ing room, had all kinds of good things
to eat for the hungry people attending
the entertainments.
An article on the chautauqua en-
tertainments is published elsewhere
in this issue, but a few important
things were left out, which are men
toned in this article.
Last Saturday afternoon and even
ing the Vested Boy Choir of st. Paul's
Episcopal church of Chicago, enter
tanned. The choir includes forty
voices with John Allen Richardson as
conductor. Their programs were un-
usually interesting, possibly because
of the young soloists. Master Brad
ley Davies deserves special mention,
and the appreciation of the audiences
was plainly noticeable by the ap-
plauds given the young solo boy.
On Sunday afternoon and evening
the Runners Ladies' orchestra ap-
peared on the platform. Miss Helen
Coates, daughter of Mrs. Jeanette
Coates of this city, is a member
Their programs were very entertain
ing. Miss Coates gave two pleasing
violin selections at the afternoon pro-
gram.
Sunday evening Rev. o. V. Wheeler,
pastor of the local Baptist church,
conducted services in connection with
the chautauqua at the park. Miss
Vaughn had charge of the singing.
Rev. d. ID. McLaurin, d. D., of the
Madison Baptist church, gave a good
lecture on "Americanism.9
The children's play hour and COM
munity singing was in charge of Miss
Vaughn, who became well acquainted
with the Wausau chautauqua goers
before the season came to a close.
She was accompanied at the commu-
nifty singing by Miss Lenora Schultz,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Schultz
of this city, as pianist.
We must not forget to mention the
Red Cross booth, which had been ar
ranged at one end of the pavilion,
and in charge of young ladies of the
city interested in Red Cross work
This proved to be a popular stopping
place for many people, where surgi-
cal dressings, bandages, knit goods,
ETC., for our soldiers were on dis
play. The young ladies in charge
were costumed as Red Cross nurses.

COLBY METEOR is CAUSING
SENSATION

S. A. Williams of Colby, was in
Marshfield Wednesday and had with
him a good sized piece of the meteor
that fell at that place on July 4th. The
past week hundreds of people have
visited Colby to view the scene of the
phenomena and examine the frag-
ments of'the big metear that were un-
earthed by Mr.. Williams on the Jor-
dan farm in the city limits. Mr.. VIII
ments of the big meteor that were un-
OF the largest that has ever fallen
and been recovered in this country,
weighing over 300 pounds. When it
entered the earth it struck a large
stone and was broken and splintered,
the largest piece being found between
four and five feet below the surface.
AS terrific explosion occurred Just
before the meteor struck, and explo-
sion that was heard 20 miles distant
from the scene, it is figured that the
huge meteor burst when entering the
atmosphere that surrounds the earth's
surface. This is evidenced from the
fact that one of the fragments fell
back OF the Lutheran church and the
other on the Jordan farm, half mile
ulo IenI nI.--NndISull61u f10TdIU.
Prof. Williams further says of the
meteor in a letter written and pub
lished in the Colby Phonograph: "A
careful calculation shows that the
Colby meteor probably had an energy
equal to 1000 ton body moving at
the speed of rife bullet. Had the
meteor fallen at night all northern
Wisconsin would have been brilliantly
lighted up. Observers near Thorp,
35 miles west of Colby, saw the mete-
or as bright ball of fire. The same
appearance has been reported to the
writer by several other observers. The
sound of the explosion probably
reached the earth some time after the
meteor ceased to be incandescent.
When it was near the earth it's speed
had been so reduced that the friction
of the air was slight, the thin melted
surface had cooled and it gave off
little or no light

DYNAMITE CACHE UNCOVERED

Dynamite to the extent OF ten
pounds was found very close to the
tracks of the 500 railroad near Wau-
paca, recently. The cache was Welt
protected by brush
The discovery of the dynamite has
given rise to various stories and ru-
mors that spies had planned to blow
up passing military train engaged
in the mobilization of state troops.
Ii was thought that if the dynamite
were owned by a farmer intending g
TO use il for stump-blowing, il would
have been claimed Immediately No
claim has as yet been made. An in
vestigation is being carried on in
Waupaca and vicinity to locate the
owners. The farmer on whose land
the dynamite was hidden, denies any
knowledge of lis being there.

CHAS. SINGLE, DRUM MAJOR

Out in Anacortes, Wash, the Elks
have organized band, and its drum
major is Chas. w. Single, formerly of
Wausau. The Anacortes paper pub
fishes the following concerning him:
''The most resplendent and gor-
geous of all is the uniform of Drum
Major Chas. w. Single, the tallest as
well as the handsomest Elk in the city.
The suit is a full frock with rich
gold trimmings, gold chains and
golden epaulets. The lofty helmet
which accompanies the suit will give
the drum major total height of
eight feet and four inches.
Under the leadership of F. E. Ber-
trand, the musical organization is
rapidly getting down to the fine points
of band work. They are also practic-
ing marching maneuvers and Drum
Major Single is practicing up all kinds
of stunts with his golden baton.'

HOW TO DRY FOOD STUFFs
Series of Practical Articles by United
States Department OF Agriculture :
to be Run by the Pilot.

Every woman reader of the Pilot
will be interested in the series of
three practical articles covering the
drying of fruits and vegetables, which
we have arranged to publish. This
issue contains the first article, which
gives reasons for drying, the princi-
pies and methods of drying and the
preparation of food for the dryer.
The two following issues are to con-
tain articles treating of drying ap-
paratus and giving actual directions
for drying. The United States De-
partment OF Agriculture prepared
these articles to aid in the food con-
servation campaign. We hope that
the series will not be missed by any
woman in Wausau or vicinity.

THE FOOD PROBLEM

Why is it that Wausau, together
with a few other cities inl this part
OF Wisconsin, experience exorbitant
prices on many food products which
are almost necessities? 1t does not
seem that the small addition to freight
rates can make the entire difference.
Most of the cities in the vicinity 0f
Milwaukee are securing food necessi-
ties at prices that are considerably
lower than are paid in this city.
Something, someone is back of it all,
and the only way in which this can
be determined is by investigation. 1t
is noc fair that in such a critical pc
riod eXOrbitant and unnecessary pric-
rs should be allowed to prevail
In comparison to the increase in
wages of the average laborer the cost
OF living has gone out of sight, when
considered in proportion. Under the
present conditions, when congress is
urgently admonishing housewives ito
lower the amount of consumption of
foodstuffs, to prevent waste, and to be
economical to an extreme as far as
their tables are concerned, the rise
in the price of food products, con-
stantly on the increase, has more
than made up for the decrease in con-
sumption by the evident economy now
practiced in the majority of homes.
In fact despite the fact that the wom-
en- OF the country are conserving food,
By serving smaller rations, cooking
foods second and third times, and us
ing all odds and ends, the actual cost
of living cannot be reduced because
it is met by the always climbing
prices.
The efforts of the American house
wife to reduce living expenses are
therefore futile. Is it just that she
should exercise her ingenuity in en-
deayoring to save consumption of food
when she has not opportunity to re-
duce the cost of food items? We think
not, and unless the cause remedies
itself, surely it is time that a repre-
sentative government should take
hold of the question, solving the prob
lem. 1t can be done. The task is far
from impossible

WORK OF MILKING MACHINES
Test Made by United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture in Dairy
Regions of Many States.

The United States department Of ag-
riculture has put out a bulletin on
milking machines. They made studies
in dairy regions in New York, Michi-
gan, Ohio and Illinois. They found
that in herds of IS COWS or less the
average time required to milk a COW
by hand is a fraction over seven min
utes, and by machine a fraction under
five minutes. In herds of so cows the
average time required is seven min
utes, but by machine just a little more
than four minutes.
The cost per year to milk a COW In a
herd of Is cows or less is S10.91 by
hand, and $1O.45 when the herd num-
bered so COWS or more. With machines
the cost was $11.75 per COW in herds Of
Is cows or less, against 1874 per COW
per year with so COWS or more in the
herd.
In computing these figures, a total
Of 156 farms were investigated. Inter-
est or the investment, the value of
gas and oil, the cost Of repairs, de-
probation and labor were all consid-
cred.
