The Fourth of July holds no at

clowns whom il is his one end and
aim i'm life to emulate, occupy his
dreams until the dawn of the great
day. on the evening before the ma
tional holiday he may lose sleep-on
the eve Of the circus he does not get
any at all.
We are speaking of the ordinary
bovs. What does the boy know Of
the JOYS OF circus day whose parents
furnish him SO lavishly with spend
ing money that he can buy a ticket in
The ordinary way and iostle with the
women and girls at the general en-
trance? 1t is the boy who carries
water for the elephants, who carries
feed for the horses and who sees the
clown in his dressing tent who enjoys
the circus. II is nothing to have seen
the fat lady on her platform in the
side show. To have been dragged by
one brown heel from beneath the
canvass OF her dressing room Is the
thing to be able 10 boast Of to ones

And death hath not greater dreau

To carry water to the monumental

eed Youngsters now dragged squirm-
ing from beneath the canvas walls.
The small boy no longer eagerly runs
errands for a penny. is not satisfied
with n nickel wherewith TO celebrate

the spirit of enterprise which made
his fathers famous for "gettin IN

Well. the circus will be here to
morrow. When ordinary folk rise in
the morning a new city will have
risen. as from the earth. organized
and complete. During the night this
s~leepless tribe will have come, and in
their mysterious way settled in their

dering array of the most varied as
sortment of attractive costumes set
off against backgrounds that are quite
the latest and most beautiful things

listening is concerned, the reward will
be typical of Irving; Berlin melodies

FINE WEATHER

This section has had nearly two
weeks of as fine Indian summer" as
il has ever experienced. During this
time there has been no cloudy or cold
weather, excepting at night, when it
would get down into the frost tenn
perature. The days have been really
warm and all sunshine. 1t has given
the farmers an opportunity to dig
their potatoes and to finish up their
fall plowing. If the season is favor
able next year, old Marathon will roll
up large crops. Unlike last season.
there is plenty of seed on hand and
it will not require a fortune to plant
an acre of potatoes. hence there will
he much new ground planted. And
farmers should remember this-the
war will be in progress and every
thing that is raised can be sold at
good prices. The labor problem will
be a factor, but even this can be over
come. if the farmers will cooperate
with those who are ready to assist.

LETTER FROM WAUSAU BOY IN
WACO, TEXAS

The following interesting extracts
are taken from two letters written
recently by Lewis j. Sullivan, son OF
Mr. and Mrs. John Sullivan, 1902 Grand
avenue, this city, to a friend here:
This weather is punk. You have
seen wind storms and how the snow
will fly; well, down here the dust
and gumbo comes so thick, a fellow
! looks like negro in a short time |
will be a regular washwoman soon, for
1t is wash every time we turn around.
Every Wednesday and Saturday af-
ternoons we have regular ball games.
Good pastime and good exercise. Won
der if they think we can lick the
kaiser with ball game, if so, they are
badly mistaken.
l have a fine job shoeing mules and
doing the blacksmithing for the sup
ply company. | have a mule, but
don't know as YOU can call him one
One day he acts like he ought to and
the next day he is stationary ami
NAL. To get him going right some
times | need pair of blinds, long
spurrs, and all the clubs and sticks
on the reservation and lot of cen
sored vocabulary. We got our con-
signment of long cared side kickers
yesterday, so l will be pretty busy
shoeing them. l believe if | had a
pair of roller skates, l could miss
half the kicks that come in my direc-
ton during the day They say the
Lord handed them back in the olden
times. Well, He can't complain of
our vocabulary now in our haste to
whip the kaiser, and everything is fair
in love and war. Today | went to the
Brazos river for some sand for weld
ing purposes and when | went across
the river he (the muleJ stopped about
ten feet from the shore and l don't
believe all the dynamite in North
America would have moved him until
he was good and ready himself, which
was about three-quarters of an hour
later. All / could do was to sit in
the saddle and -. | have given him
up as he was too deep for me.
Things around camp have livened
up some lately since Packy McFar-
land, the pugilist, arrived last week,
and the Y. M. C. A. with it's free
movies every night and lots of good
reading material.
Get mother to show you the photo
of the regiment | am in. Some bunch
and all from the northern part of
Wisconsin. We expect to be on the
move about January 1st or there
abouts. | am anxious to see the old
country, but under the present con-
ditiOns, don't believe it will be much
of a pleasure trip.
l hear from Wausau almost every
day, letters and papers, so keep up
with the happenings up there We al
so get magazines and papers galore
from different societies and prayer
books until we are blue in the face.
Must close; will have more news next
time"

MEETING OF THE COUNTY
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the County Council of Defense was
held at the court house on Tuesday
evening, Nov. 9Th. c. C. Yawkey, vice
chairman, presided in the absence of
C. B.. Bird
A report was made by Mrs. w. H.
Nablo relative to the campaign for
signing of the Hoover food pledge
cards. Mrs. Nablo had appointed six
assistants in the work and they had in
all so helpers to canvass the city Up
to this time she reported 2000 cards
signed and the work would be contin-
ued until the entire city was covered.
About 500 had refused to sign, most
ly because they did not fully under
stand the motive of the work Many
had an idea that it was a scheme to
find out what they had in the line
of food and that it was to be confis-
Gated by the government. After some
discussion it was the opinion of those
present that those who had not signed
should be waited on by a committee
and given another opportunity Mrs
Nablo will submit a detailed report to
the council when the work is com.
pleted, showing the number of cards
signed, and the number not signed
and the reasons given by the latter
which report will be sent to the State
| Council of Defense
Several communications from the
state were read and placed on file.
A report from the county commit
| tee in charge of the Hoover pledg,
card campaign was made to the eff
feet that the county had been covered
through the 225 schools. The teacher.
distributed the window cards ant
asked TO have each pupil secure tn
signature of his mother to the pledg
card. These cards when signed, wer
to be mailed directly to Magnu
Swenson, who has the work of tb
state in charge.
The lext meeting will be held OF
the evening of Nov. 20th.
