rushed as fast as possible. All of the

Week until 1880, when it was de-
stroyed by fire. He had six million
feet Of logs in his pond when the fire
wiped out his property. These logs
were fioated down the river to Ste

erationS before him. Bishop Riber

Perish the thought!

The little child is the most helpless
and dependent of all young animals
Nature has provided sustenance, for
growth and development of body and
mind. Too often the natural order is
changed, and the child's instincts dis
regarded. In short, there is an eff
fort to grow" the child, instead of
letting him grow.
The home is for the child; not
the child for the home. 1t is said
that in the first two years more is
learned than in all after life. What
pity that so many useless, hurtful
things are taught, to be unlearned
laterl
When the little one reaches out to
grasp some object, it's hands should
not be slapped, but we should at once
find some thing it can have. The par
ent should be learning as we'll as the
child.
Walking is a really remarkable feat.
How the little one is hindered in the
preparatory stage of creeping and
climbing, and how many falls it gets /!
A baby walker is indispensable, yet
it is aften lacking. Some say they
have no room for it. When shall we
see home properly fitted up for chill
dren TO live and grow up in?
AS the child grows older, let him
learn, and let him have his way. Il
knew this would call forth a protest
If you are living the life you should
and giving him the proper surround
ings there will be little desire for for
hidden pleasures.
Do let him aloneI

PROGRAM OF BOOSTER TRIP

The program for the Booster trip to
be taken by members of the Chamber
of Commerce and the Rotary club in
the interest of the Marathon county
fair, on August 20 and II, has been
completed. 1t calls for two day
automobile tour of this part of the
state by which about twenty-five towns
and cities in the central part of the
state will be visited.
The first day will be spent in motor
ing to Merrill, Amigo, Aniwa, Biz
namwood, Eland, Elderon, Rosholt,
Stevens Point, and Grand Rapids. The
night will be spent at the Rapids.
Starting early in the morning, Vesper,
Arpin, Marshfield, Spencer, Unity, Col
by, Abbotsford, Athens, Stratford, Fen
wood, Edgar, Marathon City, and MOST
nee will be visited. The party will
enjoy dinner at Mosinee on that even
ing and will then return to Wausau.
Since a number of county fairs in
this part of the state will not be given
this coming fall the Marathon county
fair has an exceptional opportunity
to make itself more than merely To-
cal fair. 1t should draw people and
exhibitors from the entire part of
central Wisconsin. An auto trip of
this type is to be commended and
should do much towards developing
some enthusiasm for the annual fall
celebration in the county as well as
outside of it.
Horns and other instruments, to
make the party recognizable will be
taken along by all. The nominal fee
of So will be charged those not taking
cars, to help defray the expenses.
