CHARLIE CHAPLIN
IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, Nov. 1.-THE fam
Gus Charlie Chaplin arrived in Hon.
olulu, October 10, and while he in
tended to come for rest between
custard pie throwing contests, he
was kept extremely busy sightseeing.
Photographers camped on his trail
and snapped him riding the ST #
lboards on the Beach at Walk, eat
ing two fingered poi, dancing with
the hula girls and even flirting with
Pele. the Goddess of Fire, on the
edge Of tho Volcano at Kilauea.
1t is expected that as soon as his
contracts permit he will bring over
company and be filmed with an
Hawaiian setting which will be uni
que. He was accompanied by Robert
Wagner. the well known writer and
they returned to the mainland, Oc-
tober II, tired, but happy.
Charlie Chaplin. movie king, small
boys loud his praises sing. He will
be back with us today from a trip
to Hilo bay here he went to visit
Pele and TO see the lava jelly. Char
lie likes Hawaii's style and he fain
would stay awhile, loafing on the
sun kissed sand, eating poi with
either hand listening to the ukuele
played by Waikiki, Bill Bailey; eat
ing dog in guise of pig; practising
the hula jig. But he's got to get
back home and with us may no
more roam-back to make nation
smile in rare Charlie Chaplin's way.
When his pictures come this way
as they will on some fine day. we
shall watch for something new in
the moving scenic view. We shall
hope His Nibs to see in the surf at
Waikiki, look to see him gaily prance
in the festive hula dance. and find

THIS WAR OF SCIENCE

Potash seems long way removed from
the trench armies in France. Yet many
of the scientists say it is vital factor.
A prominent German expert says that
America is fighting with rope around
her neck. That rope is potash, and Ger
many holds the business end, by her
monopoly of that vital plant food.
The United States needs 100000 tons
of potash annually. Yet last year by our
best efforts we could produce but 10000
tons. Next year we expect to get out
$4,000 This figured with all by-products
utilized, we may be able to develop $4,000
tons.
According to this German authority,
the United States can not fight long be-
cause we lack this essential element. No
doubt that idea is useful in deluding the
German people, who believe anything
their divinely appointed leaders tell them.
They do not realize that the larger share
Of American food products are being
raised without fertilizer.
1t is poor policy to keep on taking out
of the soil and never putting back. The
Germans would never do it. They are
correctly trained to know that in the end
that means agricultural bankruptcy. But
our soils are rich enough to see us thru
this war, though the lack of this element
has hit us hard already. After the war
we must stop this pernicious practice Of
using a soil up, and then moving some
where else. Now that our free lands are
all taken up, there is nothing for it but to
adopt the true principles Of soil conserva-
ton.
1t remains to be seen what political use
Germany will make of her potash. When
the terms are fixed up around the coun-
ell table, will she hold US up, and refuse
to give us any potash unless we concede
her demands?

PROTECTING FOOD SUPPLIES

Every few days you read in some news
paper about food products being burned.
One day it is a storage warehouse along
the Atlantic port docks. Next it is grain
elevator in the West. Then it is some
carloads of potatoes on lonely side tracks.
This thing was going on last year, and
the spies and plotters are at it all the
time.
The people who have food supplies in
their safe keeping have serious respon-
sibility A systematic effort is being made
by our enemies to destroy them. No mat
ter how peaceful a neighborhood, you can
never tell what lurking villain is hang
ing around looking for dark night and
favorable opportunities.
Food product warehouses should be
strictly guarded Here is work that the
organizations Of Home Guard could do.
If they are not available, police forces
should be used for this purpose or spe-
cial police created.
There is a feeling among the spies and
plotters that the American people are
easy going, and if they are caught they
will not have to suffer much. The Ger
mans would quickly enough put under
ground any one caught in such acts. But
we have not shot any spies yet, and there
is feeling that we are too soft hearted
to do it. Wait until the American peo-
pie lose some of their soldier boys over
across. There will be different senti-
ment against those that are trying to
prevent us from feeding them.
This danger exists equally in the big
city, the quiet country village, the At
lantic port where foods are stored up,
and the interior town where grain is
stored or cars stand on side tracks. 1t
is for everyone to help protect these sup
plies, and lurking strangers should be
closely watched.

AN OLD MANS STOMACH

AS we grow older and less active.
less and less food is required to meet
the demands Of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-

the advanced age OF IS or 90. you
will find that he is a light eater. Be
as careful as-you will. however. you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need of

clamation planned for issuance.
The effect as forecast by the
food administration, would be to
standardize bread, waste in distribu-
ton to consumers and to gradually
force prices for pound loaves down
perhaps to seven or eight cents O
loaf.
While prices are not to be fixed,
fancy breads are to be eliminated
and all bread baked in regular sizes
of one, one and half, two and four
pounds with a midway increase on
each to permit the sale of half
loaf.
Fixed standard weights are to lot
the consumers know which loaf ~
really the cheapest. Three pounds of
sugar instead of six are to be allow
ed for a barrel of flour, and two
pounds of vegetable oil instead of
six pounds of lard or oil.

THE FOOD PLEDGES

The government is about to commence
a campaign for food pledges. There will
be systematic canvasses wherever posi-
bic to persuade people to observe wheat
less and meatless days, and save sugar
and dairy products.
The people of Cache Valley should CO.
operate in this movement and undoubt-
eddy they will. But it is one of those
things in which everyone has comfort
able feeling that everyone else is attend
ing to it, therefore we personally do not
need to. The practical result of that at
titude is that nothing is accomplished.
AS long as the thing was simply a mat.
ter of general agitation, only exception
ally conscientious people paid attention
to it. To secure cooperation and over
come popular inertia, solicitors will have
to be sent from door to door, 1t is sur
prising to see how quickly the kickers
and the grumblers will fall into line when
some prominent business man or pretty
girl asks them to come across.
The reasonableness of the thing hard
ly needs argument. Our country has all
ample food supply. But our allies have
only a short supply of the leading food
staples which they are accustomed to and
fitted up to use. They have not the ma
chinery to prepare corn for food. It is
simply common sense to send them much
OF our wheat, and let us get along more
on corn and potatoes. A man who would
kick on such nourishing and appetizing
food if well prepared, ought to take his
turn at the canned "bully beef" of the
trenches and see how he likes it.
No doubt it is only question needing

ADVERTISING LOCALITIES

States, cities, and sections are Just
waking up to realize how they might gain
by advertising their advantages. The
Southern Commercial Congress took a
far reaching step when it appointed q
committee to raise 81, 100000 to advertise
the South. No doubt they will get lot
Of new travel and many residents there
from.
There is good deal in this idea if it
were judiciously carried out Summer
and winter resorts are doing lot Of this
thing now and they find it pays. They
distribute booklets and cicrulars descrip-
tive of their locality as whole. Hotels,
railroads, and other interests combine to
get out this literature, SO that no large
burden is placed on any one interest.
The resources of our state may be
thought to be thoroughly realized and un-
derstood by the country at. large. Yet
there is much land not developed as it
might be, many admirable sites for fac
tory production not yet used, many de-
lightful vacation resorts not well known
outside of the small circles of habitues. A
judicious use of publicity work can bring
these things to the attention of people
who travel or might locate their bust
ness here.
There should be interesting booklets
available for all inquirers, and some or
ganization whose business it is to see that
they are distributed in hotels and other
places of popular resort.
One good way to advertise your local
ity is to send away copies of your home
paper. Take an issue with accounts of
some important civic or industrial event
and send dozen copies around to your
friends. You will be surprised to see how
much interest they will express. The i'm
preston will circulate around that Logan

Der of the winter lyceum course under
the auspices of the Wausau Ministerial
association was given at the First
Presbyterian church and was equal
to the previous numbers.
The Chicago Male Quartet appeared
before a large and enthusiastic audi
ence. The personnel -ef the quartet
is as follows: r. G. McMullen, tenor
John G. Hedgcoxe, tenor; Frank H.
Collins, baritone; = Smith, basso
This musical organization gives the
public the very best, that can be OBJ
tanned in the field of artistic four part
singing. They are singers with much
experience in quartet work and are
among the most prominent concert
artists and church soloists in the
musical society of this country. Their
entertainments are of high artistic
value and the striking feature of their
renditions is the perfect harmony OF
their voices from the softest notes
to the most powerful. The solo mum
bers were also enthusiastically re-
ceived.
This course has been one of con-
tinuous interest throughout, each sue
ceeding number having something new
to offer to the lyceum goers. 1t Is
/ hoped that the Wausau Ministerial
association will make arrangements
for a similar course for the coming

FLAG ETIQUETTE

Every good American loves and rev.
erences the stars and stripes, but the
average American is deplorably ig-
norant of how to do his flag homage.
Discourtesies to the flag, constantly
to be noticed in this country-dis-
courtesies which occur, of course, only
through ignorance - amaze visitors
from other countries where flag eti-
quette is part of every child's edu-
cation.
An American audience will get to its
feet, enthusiastically-or hesitatingly,
when the Star-Spangled Banner is
played, but will sit stolidly while the
stars and stripes are flung out on
stage or platform. Yet the flag de-
serves recognition and honor much
more than the national anthem. At
this time when the American flag
looms large in every Americans mag
ination, few words about flag eti-
quette may not come amiss.
The flag should never be allowed to
remain floating all night from the
house front, no matter how good the
weather is or how much trouble it is
to get the flag up and down. Etiquette
demands that it be raised not before
sunrise, and must be lowered by sun
set. In a harbor where yachts are an
chored "colors" go up on the club
house staff at eight in the morning
and come down at sunset, and it is a
pretty sight to see the flags running
up on every trim little craft in the har-
Dor when the commodore's big flag
is flung out to the morning breeze.
When a flag is formally raised, all
present stand at attention with the
right hand lifted to the forehead in
salute. Have -'ou ever visited at an
army post, or in the officers quarters
at a navy yard? When the flag comes
down at sunset everyone stops what
he is doing and stands at attention.
The young officers may be never so
busy playing tennis with pretty girls,
but at the sound of the sunset gun
the game stops temporarily and men
and girls alike wait quietly while the
flag is lowered. To a civilian it is a
beautiful and impressive sight.
A flag which is to be displayed at
half mast for mourning, must first be
raised to the top of the staff and then
lowered to position.

BEAUTIFUL, BUT, OH MY

Notwithstanding the fact that every
one is tired of winter and deep snow,
the out of doors was never so beaut1-
full in winter as now. The frequent
storms have kept the blanket of snow
white and clean, and everything is so
thoroughly enveloped in its snowy
mantle that the effect is almost start
ling. The trees are beautiful. 1t would
pay one to take walk to the Grant
school on the west side and view the
beauties of the scene. The beauti-
full red brick building with its snowy
roof stands in grove of pine trees,
which are laden and bent down with
the glistening snow and this combined
with the green of the pines and the
bright coloring of the building makes
a most vivid and picturesque winter
scene. And this is only one. There
are other places in the city equally as
attractive in their winter beauties. So,
although we are very tired of the beau
tiful snow, there few points in its
favor

READY FOR THE BUILDING
Now That the Site Has Been Selected
for the LamsOn Truck and Tractor
Company, Plans Win be Rushed.

The site for the Lamson Truck and
Tractor company has been selected
and now comes the construction of the
building. The contract for drawing
up the plans, as stated in the last is
sue of the Pilot, has been let to
Swarthout e. Speer, architects, who
will also supervise the construction.
Mr.. Swarthout has been looking over
large plants in various parts of the
country the past week with S. r. Bur-
ley, engineer of the company, with
view of making the plant one of the
most up to date buildings of its kind
in the country.
The building is to be 200x300 feet
ground space, one story, and will have
receiving platforms running parallel
with the building. 1t will be known as
daylight construction and the building
will be of brick, steel and concrete.
The work of construction will COM
mence on May 1st and the building
completed on the 1st day of July.
