WOMEN IN WAR

4 woman war worker submits the
following editorial:
"a few weeks ago one Of our fin
est women died suddenly. he fam
lily physician told the household that
the beloved lady had died Of over
work. She was full of love for hu-
mankind and she had labored too
we'll for the poor, the sick, teh or
phans, and the brave men in France.
Why was the sacrifice necessary?
Because for 100 devoted women
telling without recompense day and
night there are 1000 slackers who
live but for themselves and the mo-
nlents pleasure. Because for dozen
women making surgical dressings
there are 800 in the next room play

We see twenty who have knitted for

she knitted cheerfully every moment

there that we asked the reason The

LETTERS TO SOLDIERS

Domestic postal rates will apply to
all mail matter sent from the United
States or its possessions to members
of the American EXpeditionary forces
in France, according to an announce
ment received recently by Postmaster
Frank Rogers from the post office de-
partment at Washington. The domes-
tic rates will also apply on mail sent
by the soldiers to the United States
but soldiers will also be allowed to
take advantage of the provision of
the postal laws which permits mail
matter being sent on the collect or
delivery plan. Specific instructions on
how to address soldiers in France are
also contained in the bulletin received
by Mr.. Rogers, The proper way to ad-
dress a soldier is to give his rank and
name, company, regiment, branch of
service and finally American Expedi-
tionary Forces" No attempt may be
made to designate the location of the
unit on the envelope. All mail mat
ter addressed to soldiers in the eX-
peditionary forces will be sent to New
York from where it will be despatched
to wherever the units are located. One
difference between addresses which
Will reach American soldiers and
those for soldiers in the British army
is that il is necessary to give the SOL
dier's number in writing to men in
American forces.

ON STORAGE OF. potatoes
Pointers for Growers In Marathon
County Are Given

The storage of potatoes of the main
crop can be accomplished most salts
factorily throughout much of the
United States in the dugout pit or po-
tato cellar in some of it's various forms
of construction, says recently pub
lished Farmers Bulletin of the United
States department of agriculture, on
Potato Storage and Storage Houses"
In general, the bulletin says, no at
tempt is made to store potatoes of the
early crop, since usually they are sold
for immediate consumption.
The temperature should be the high
est at which potatoes can be main
tanned firm and ungerminated, and
which will at the same time hold fung-
Gus diseases in check. Experiments
of the department with artifcially re-
frigerated storage indicate that 96 de-
grees fahrenheit is sufficiently low for
all practical purposes and that in the
earlier portion of the storage season a
temperature of 40 deg. fahrenheit is
just as satisfactory as a lower one ex-
cept where powdery dry rot infection
occurs.
All natural light should be excluded
from potato storage houses because
when the tubers are exposed to even
modified light, they are soon injured
for food purposes.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL HAD A GOOD
YEAR

The report of the Wausau Indus
trial school for the past year has
been completed, and the same is a
good and encouraging one. There
were It's boys and 140 girls in at
tendance, making the total enroll
ment S15. During the day sessions
one man and two women were en-
ployed at full time and one woman
at half time during the entire term.
Seven men and seven women were
employed during the evening ses-
sions of this school. Two evenings a
week were given over to the night
school. Many useful subjects were
taught to the boys and girls attending
this school. The boys received in
struction in arithmetic, spelling, pen
Elanship, reading, wood work, iraw-
ing, forging, cement work, etc. The
girls studied cooking, sewing, draft
ing and pattern making, English, pen
manship. millinery, nursing, etc. The
total cost of the upkeep of the In
dustrial school here for the year was
S9,144.63. The total receipts were
s9,420, leaving s275.S7 as balance.

PURPLE CROSS ORDER

In the District of Columbia an or
ganization has been effected, which is
called the American Purple Cross as
sociation. This society has been
formed for the express purpose of
caring for the bodies of our men killed
abroad. that they may be sent to this
country following the war in saDi-
tary and recognizable manner and
placed at the disposal of friends and
relatives for interment. The order
has been incorporated under The laws
of the District, and has It's officers.
The trustees include prominent men
from all over the country, such as
governors and millionaires. The plan
is now up in the House of Represent
atives. 1t has been suggested that
the Purple Cross association bear the
same relation to the quartermaster
generals department as the Red Cross
does to the medical. department of the
army. Over S150.000 has already been
pledged, and if the movement is sane
toned by Congress, it is expected that
funds from all oyer the country will
be coming in.

CAMP DOUGLAS

| Camp Douglas is an ideal reserya-
tion. The place is surrounded by
bluffs; has fine parade grounds and
range; adequate bathing facilities,
| ETC.
The Badger troops are continually
pouring into Camp Douglas, where
| they will remain until further orders
are given them. Notwithstanding the
sweltering hot weather of the past
week there was considerable activity,
and the soldier boys say the heat is
good training for Texas weather. The
officers let down somewhat on the
grind of work last week because of
the heat, fearing prostrations among
the men. The Badger fellows are anx-
ious to get further than Camp Doug
las, and are anxiously waiting for the
call. Physical examinations are go
ing on every day and the percentage
of those rejected is remarkably low
The good health of the soldiers is due
to the regularity of meals, regularity
OF training, regularity of training, reg
ularity of rest and perfect sanitation
The men take excellent care of them
selves. There is something in the
atmosphere at Camp Douglas that
makes the men throw back their
shoulders and walk with pep"
1t is about the busiest place in the
state. Everywhere you look, people,
mostly soldiers, are hurrying and
scurrying around. The lack of uni
forms is regretted by many of the
boys, because it is hard to feel like
a soldier without a uniform, but all
will hn sa1
expected the soldiers will be trans
ferred from Camp Douglas to Waco,
Texas, for intensive training. Ef-e
forts are being made to keep the boys
in the north until fall, but no def
mite plans have as yet been made. AS
to the boys entering service in France
will depend wholly upon the continu-
alton of the war, and the demand for
men.
The authorities at Camp Douglas
have voted to appoint a full time sani-
tary officer to enforce cleanup of all
streets, alleys, toilets, cesspools and
other places where sanitary condi-
tions have been below the standard.
The water supply is well taken care
of, so as to avoid impurities. The
dairymen supplying the camp with
milk have agreed, in order to insure a
pure product, to keep milk pals and
strainers clean, etc.
Company G of this city, stationed at
Ashland, has not as yet received or
ders to go to Camp Douglas, but it is
expected the boys will soon leave for
that place.
Many of our people have at one
time or another visited Camp Doug
las, but at this time it must be an in
teresting place to go to. The grounds
are visited daily by relatives and
friends of the boys. Excursions are
being arranged for and thousands of
people will visit the camp during the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1917-07-31
GUIDES MUST PAY LICENSE

A new law has been passed, MAX
ing it compulsory for guides in our
heavy wooded country to buy a license,
costing them 81. They must also give
bond of 5000 that they will not vio-
late in any way any of the laws of
the state of Wisconsin, which point
toward the protection of fish and
game. The state will prosecute every
guide who violates his oath, his bond,
or the fish and game laws. Conserva-
tion wardens will see to it that every
guide in this part of northern Wiscon-
sin is given an application blank, and
they are expected to fill them out at
once, pay their 81 and have their
bond filled out. Each guide will be
given badge with his license.

PICTURESQUE SCENES" IN RAIL-
ROAD YARDS ON CIRCUS DAY

At the railroad yards picturesque
scenes are shown by lighted torches
which throw a yellow glow over hur-
rying men who make every minute
count with the Gollmar Bros. Circus.
AS matter of fact, the first section,
or flying squadron" leaves the exhi-
bition city at 1000 o'clock at night,
before the evening performance is
over. This is done that the first train
may reach the next "stand" long be-
fore daylight, if possible. The other
trains begin departing shortly after
midnight.
Rain and mud sometimes retard the
quick moving circus, but extra efforts
in a great measure nuliify their pres
ence. Workingman and beast are
slumbering deeply when the engines
couple for the nocturnal journey. The
flying squadron" is the train that
carries the stables, the cook tents.

DROWNED IN WISCONSIN RIVER

Last Thursday the angry waters of
the Wisconsin river claimed another
victim. Albert Finch of Schofeld,
while performing his duties for the
Marathon Paper Mills company, by
whom he was employed as gate ten
der at the company's dam, was acci-
dentally drowned. While swimming
below the dam endeavoring to re-
move plank the swift current seemed
to be getting the best of him, and w.
G. Whitney, who was bathing near
there at that time, went to rescue
him. j. P. North, who was standing
on the dam, also jumped into the
water, to give his assistance. They
dragged the dying man to shore, and
as Finch was quite large and heavy
man, it was quite task to get him
ashore in very short time, which
they did. Immediately the lungmotor
and various ways of restoring respi-
alton were tried on the man, but to
no avail
Mr.. Finch had worked for the Mar
athon Paper Mills company ever since
the company started up business. He
was well known to many as one of
the old time river men.
The deceased was born in the state
OF New York, December 8, 1868, be-
ing Tifty-three years, eight months and
seventeen days of age. He came to
Marathon county with his parents
when a young lad, and has been
resident of the county ever since.
Mr.. Finch was a member of the Scho-
field lodge of the Modern Brother
hood of America. His widow and
nine children survive: Mrs. John
Kersten of Wausau, Mrs. Wallace
Shiddell, Thomas, Esther, Estella
Alfred, Elva, Nell and Josephine Finch
all of Schofield. He also leaves his
mother, Mrs. Charles Finch, of
Trappe, four sisters, Mrs Patrick
Door of Gallon, Mrs. Louis Gums of
Ringle, Mrs. Benjamin Dean of
Trappe, Mrs. Laura Hartso of this
city, and two brothers, Frank Finch
of Everett, Wash, and George Finch
of Amigo.
His funeral was conducted yester-
day afternoon from the family home
in Schcfield, Rev. Donald West of this
city, officiating. Interment was made
in Pine Grove cemetery.
