shall have to take the train at mid
night, and how can ever get along
with the baby and this heavy suit
case, I" she thot.
To US 1t seemed like little glimpse
OF the war zone we had read so much
about. The baby had begun to worry
it was tired, and missed the home
surroundings. 1t seemed heartess TO
see her go to hotel Luckily there
was one of our "loyal" members who
had room, and was willing to invite
them to her home.
Say you that such an one-has not
the right to wear or display the flag
because she is opposed to war?
She did her bit, soothing the baby
to sleep and comforting and cheering,
as well as she could the little fearful
mother. They remained until Sun
day night, the husband taking his
meals at the armory. He was allowed
to go as far. as Marshfeld, where his
| wife had t0echange cars for her des-
tination. Then they separated; per-
! haps forever.
We can but hope that this man nay
| yet be excused from the service, and
some unmarried man, who is crazy to
! go, sent in his place.

LOYAL TO the Stars and Stripes

The following is from the pen OF
Frank Lueschen of the Marathon
Times, and it contains that spirit OF
loyalty and patriotism which should
be in the heart of every American
citizen in the present crisis. War has
been declared against Germany. The
test of loyalty is to present solid
front; to cherish in our hearts that
love of country which will not per-
NIT in thought, word or deed, one
thing to mitigate against the perpe-
tuity of the United States of America
the 'land of the free and the home of
the brave"
Along these lines, brother Leuschen
has struck the keynote of patriotism:
We do not wish to pour oil upon
the fire, as we are full well aware that
opinions differ widely as to the advisa-
biIity of our country entering into the
war. We have said it before and we
repeat it here again, that we are con-
vinced that all of our readers, wheth-
er they are of German blood or not,
will all be loyal to the stars and
stripes when the time comes, just as
loyal as they were in all of our wars
from the Revolutionary war down
through our history until the present
day. And though MAN, heart may
tremble or bleed in this crisis, still
will they be loyal to the land of their
adoption America Though fond
memories may still cling in their
hearts of the land of their birth or
that of their ancestors, still will they
in grateful acknowledgement of the
blessings that this country has be-
slowed upon them-the greater bless
ings of a free government, and greater
enjoyments and opportunities for bet
ter conditions in regard to the acquisi-
ton of the necessities of life or even
wealth and ease-yes, we are con-
WINGED that nearly every American Of
German birth or ancestry, in grateful
recognition of these things, will stand
loyalty and steadfastly by the Ameri-
can flag in this clash between the
United States and Germany. He will
know but one flag and one country
America.

RESULT OF ELECTION

Election day was an ideal spring
day, but owing to the fact that there
was not much a contest in the city
the vote was very light. In the coun-
ty there was considerable to call the
vote out as there were chairman,
clerk, treasurer, and assessor in each
town to be elected The result in each
town can be found in this issue of the
Pilot
1t was great surprise to learn that
Attorney General Owen defeated r. D.
Marshall for Associate Justice of the
Supreme court. 1t was generally sup
posed in this part of Wisconsin that
Justice Marshall would have an easy
victory. The total vote in this coun-
ty for the various candidates is as
follows:
For Associate Justice

DEATH OF JASPER w. TILDEN
Passed Away Attending to His Stock
on the Farm
Written for the Pilot

News of the death of Jasper w.
! Tilden, which occurred late Friday
afternoon, was a great shock to rela-
| tives and friends in the city. 1t is
believed that while caring for his
| cattle, Mr.. Tilden may have been sub
! ject to strain, which proved too much
| for his unusual vigor of body and
mind and heart failure followed
quickly, resulting probably in death as
soon as he fell to the barn floor,
where he was found. The unusual
| conditions at the barn called the at
| tentiOn of Mrs. Tilden who was alone
| on the farm, and also that of the
neighbors. They came quickly and
rescued Mr.. Tilden from his danger
Gus situation, but with little sign of
juries, whatever, from the cattle,
though they were loose within the
barn during the time.
Medical attendance was secured as
early as possible from Wausau, but
to no avail, as life had already gone.
Miss Chloe Elizabeth Tilden, his
daughter, had just returned to Wau-
sau that afternoon, and hurried out
with the doctor and others as fast
as the heavy roads would permit, to
relieve and comfort the Borrowing
wife, who has always been true and
efficient helpmate.
One son, Guy Morrison Tilden,
completed the family circle. He was
on visit in the southern part of the
sta but was reached Immediately
and arrived home this morning. He
has been closely associated with his
father from earliest boyhood in the
care of the farm, and of late years
had relieved him of much of the
work.
Brief services are to be held at the
home farm in the town of Easton,
Monday forenoon at ten o'clock and
at Pine Grove cemetery where he will
be buried upon arrival there, Rev. d.
J. Williams and Rev. d. S. West offici-
ating.
Jasper Winfield Tilden was born
in Milford, Jefferson Co., Wis, April
l, lS4S. His occupation, like that of
his immediate family, was that of
farming, and he was thorough and sue
cessful in it. The family of his moth
er, Chloe Allerton, was among the
company coming to this country in the
Mayfiower.
Mr.. Tilden was united in marriage
with Amelia c. Muck, of Jefferson.
Wisconsin, March %, 1884, and the
two children above mentioned were
born to them, Chloe, a student and
now a successful teacher in the public
schools at Ishpeming, and Guy, the
fathers companion and assistant.
Four brothers, also, are living, at and
near the old home and in Ohio: Milo.
Edwin, Henry and Joseph.
Mr.. Tilden was modest and retir-
ing IN disposition. hut to those friends
who knew him, he was always true
and genial, and it was his pleasure
to have them visit and talk with him
in his home and the family circle he
loved so much.
About seventeen years ago he de- |
sired greater opportunity in his bust |
ness of farming and with great faith |
in the future of the northern region |
of Wisconsin, he sold his farm in |
Jefferson county and with his wife |
and children started in anew on the |
new farm purchased in Marathon
county, where he has spent a busy
life since.
He was always hard worker and
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1917-04-10

seldom left his work and home ex-
cept when necessary to go to Wau-
sau on business connected with the
farm.
His family relations were most kind
and helpful. He took much interest
in good books and papers and was
well informed, in current affairs. He
was held in respect and esteem by
his neighbors for his ability and high
personal worth and will be very much
missed by all who knew him.

asked to gather violets, which are now
very plentiful, and other flowers and
take them to the residence of Mrs. An

where they will be made into boquets
for the purpose mentioned. The flowers
should be delivered to Mrs. Anderson

Subscription Statements

A few days ago The Messenger sent
out quite a number of letters to those
who were in arrears on subscription
account. In these letters our present
need of money was stated with accura
cy and candor, but experimenting that
many would find it inconvenient to pay
at this season of the year we asked
those who were thus situated to ack-
nowledge the receipt of our letter and
state when we might expect a remit
tance, the purpose being to ascertain
if they were really desirous of receiving
the paper. The whole appeal seemed
to us as fair as we could make it and
yet a surprising number have failed to
respond at all. Now, the fact is that
we cannot afford to send The Messen-
ger to those who do not intend to pay
for it, have no desire to do so, and
within a few weeks we shall discontinue
sending it to those who have not at
that time replied to our letter, as re-
quested, and further, we shall be OBJ
liged to take such steps as may be
possible to collect what is coming to us.

c. \. S. BALL TEAM
WOLLOPS FLUSHING
WILLIAMS PITCHED CLEVERLY AND
HAD GOOD SUPPORT
Flushing Outclassed All Around and
Lost Steadily From Start
TO Finish

Clio High School base ball team
which has been playing exceptionally
good ball all season. under the direction
of Coach McLane, went to Flushing
last Friday and in a game with the
high school team of that place came off
with a greatly enhanced reputation.
School was dismissed on the afternoon
of the game and a large number of
students and base ball fans of this place
attended the game and boosted enthus-
iastically for Clio. The lineup for the
home team was as follows: Don Little
field C, Elwin Williams p, Evart Sheri
dan 1st b, Bernard Doyle I'd b, Ralph
Jones Sd b, Lloyd Miller So. Howard
Lewis rf. Ray Metchell CT, Stewart
Stuber If, McLane and Taylor umpires.
Flushing made her best showing in
the first inning with the only score on
either side to her credit. In the second
Doyle and Mitchell scored for the Wis
itors while Flushing retired without
scoring, In the third Jones and Little
field scored for Clio and the opposition
again drew a blank. The fourth inning
produced three more scores for Clio,
Mitchell, Jones and Littlefield safely
crossing the plate, Flushing again fail
ing to score. In the fifth Mitchell ran
in another score for Clio and Flushing
revived her hopes with a score. In the
sixth both sides quit as they started in.
The seventh resulted in another run to
the credit of Mitchell and another for
Flushing In the eighth Doyle scored
for the visitors and Flushing failed
again. In the ninth Flushing made the
desperate effort she should have staged
earlier in the game and ran in three
scores when Williams frightened up and
brought the game to finish, the score
standing 10 to in favor of Clio.
Features of the game were the first
class hurting by Williams who struck
out three men in the second inning and
several others during the progress of
the game, the consistent support ac-
corded him by the other members of
the team and the moral supper, given
by the big crowd of Clio boosters.
Clio High School now has one of the
best teams in her history and has a fair
chance for the county championship
which will be decided in series of
games with other high school teams,
the finals being played on county field
day which will be held in Clio on June
l6.
