DANA-DANIELS NUPTIALS

A pretty home wedding of the early
fall, involving two of Wausau's prom
inent young people, was solemnized
last Wednesday evening, October 8,
1917, at six o'clock, when Miss Mar
garet Dana, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
F. G. Dana, became the bride of Mr..
Frank c. Daniels, at the home of
the brides parents, Gil Fulton street.
In the presence of the immediate
relatives and a few intimate friends,
the marriage ceremony was performed
by DR.. D. j. Williams, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. The bride
was given away by her father, and the
only attendant was Miss Ruth Alexan-
der.
The bride wore an exquisite robe
of white satin, yelled with silk tulle,
with silver trimmings. Her tulle veil
was caught with orange blossoms and
she carried a shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and roses.
Miss Alexander was gowned in
white lace, and carried an arm bou-
quet of pink roses.
Following the rendering of congrat-
ulations and good wishes, the we'd
ding feast was served. The Dana
home had been deliberately done in
scheme of various shades of pink,
chrysanthemums and roses being eff
fectively used.
They young people departed during the
evening for parts unknown, and will
soon occupy the Kiefer, apartment.
The bride is prominent in Wausau
social circles, and was given much
social attention after the recent an
nouncement of her engagement. The
pre-nuptial affairs were published in
our last issue.
The groom is popular in the social
and business activities of our city and
has been a resident of Wausau for
the past six years. He is connected
with the Marathon Paper Mills COM

ceived was a beautiful chest of

ADDRESSING MAIL TO SOLDIERS

The post office department has is
sued the following instructions rela-
tive to the proper addressing of mail
to soldiers in the regular army, ma
tional guard and national army:
Regular Army
Private John Smith,
Company A, Gath Infantry,
Camp Lee, Virginia.
National Guard
Private John Smith,
Co. G., 72Sth Infan:ry, Ord Wis.,
Camp Macarthur, Texas.
National Army
Private John Smith,
Co. 1, 341st Infantry, (Wis.)
Camp Grant, III.
1t will be noticed that the designa-
ton for National Guard will show in
parenthesis their present state desig-
nations, including the number of their
regiment in the National Guard, while
the designations of regiments in the
National army show in parenthesis
the state from which each organiza-
ton or the bulk of it, was taken.
The war department has adopted
the following system of numbering
the regiments: The Regular army
from to 100, National Guard 1O1 to
300 and the National army, 3O1 up.
Patrons should be careful that each
letter and parcel bears the address of
the sender and to see that all mail is
addressed to the company and regi-
ment in accordance with the above
instructions, or the mail may be seri-
ously' delayed and probably returned
to the writer as unbelievable.

CAMPAIGN FOR WAR LIBRARIES
AND BOOKS FOR OUR SOLDIERS
CONDUCTED IN WAUSAU

The past week the Wausau public
library working under the American
War Library commission, conducted
a campaign in this city for funds to
build war libraries in the various
environments throughout the United
States and to furnish the same with
good books for our soldiers, also for
the boys in the trenches, war hos
pitfalls, etc, and the sailor boys. The
sum collected here amounts to about
$4,000.
On Saturday, the big day of the
campaign week, large number of
High school girls thoroughly can
vassed the city, visiting every home.
The business districts were in charge
OF young ladies of the city. The
spirit of this community is shown by
the good results of the campaign.
Our people want the boys of our
country we'll supplied with good read
ing material.
AS every section of the country will
furnish troops, every section has been
invited to assist in providing reading
matter for the troops. 1t is believed
that the camp libraries will not only
provide recreation for the soldiers,
but will go a long way toward coun-
teracting evil influences in the vicin
ity of the camps. The good libraries
to be established will also help to
make camp life wholesome and at
tractive along with other activities
planned for this life. There is no
question but what the efforts of the
American Library commission in this
noble project, will meet with imme-
date and encouraging response from
all over this country.

EXPENSE OF IMPROVED ROAD
Manifest Advantage, as Well as Neees-
slty for Good Roads Seems to
BE Educating People.

Within very recent memory the ex-
pense Of good roads has been bitterly
opposed by farmers. The increasing
tax rate. due to many causes, has been
viewed with the greatest alarm. With
In the last year, the manifest advan-
tage, as well as the actual necessity, or
better rural highways seems to be
gradually educating the public to the
Viewpoint that good roads are an ac-
compartment to the changing times In
the agricultural world. The only ques-
tlon now Is whether or not, with all
the vast sums expended for road i'm
provement, we can get good roads soon
enough.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian., 1917-11-27

himself that the policy of the state
highway commission Is the correct
one. Let us consider first OF all the
expensive type Of road construction,
such as concrete, or the best grade
of macadam. This type of road will
cost approximately $4,000 per mile,
and let us suppose that the cost OF
construction is met by issuing 20
year AZ per cent bonds. The annual
expense on account of this first cost
would be about $3.50 per mile. And
these roads will need some maintc-
nance, possibly not much over $50 per
mile per year. THIS brings the total
cost up to about $500 annually per
mile for the expensive or so-called per-
manent type of road.
Now take n well-constructed gravel
road and the cost for this road will
run about $1,000 per mile for con-
struction. figuring again on a basis Of
2O-year Az per cent bonds and the
annual account for first cost will be
about $50 per mile. The cost for
maintaining these roads, if properly
done, runs M pretty high, and it can
be well done with an expenditure Of
about $240 per mile per year.
This makes a total annual cost then
for the surfaced road of approximate
ly $3.50 annually per mile. A compari-
son Of these two annual costs shows
$3.50 per mile per year In favor Of the
cheaper roads.
