HOME SUNSHINE

Sunshine making is a blessed task;
CHEEKY hearts, like lovely, wide blue
Danish weary, gloom and give fresh
hope,
Check the rising tear or thot-less
sigh.
Put the golden sunshine in each day;
Others need the cheer that comes
Need it most when outer sky's dull
Leaves the sunshine making yours
to do.
JUANITA STAFFORD.
And what a blessing that the sun
shines for all, high and low, rich and
poor alike. Even so, all may have
Sunshine in the Soul" all who re-
ceive and cultivate this blessed gift
will be as the shining light" spoken
of in Scripture, and as "the city set
upon a hill, which cannot be hid"
We often hear the remark that GER
tain persons cannot but be happy
and cheerful because Fortune has al
ways smiled upon them, and they have
had no cause for gloom. But if you
will take note of such whom you know
you will find that almost without ex-
ception they are more or less selfish ;
having little thot or care for the needy
ones about them.
When such people grow old and
helpless their case is sad indeed, for
if sunshine in the soul is not given
out it soon dies, leaving an empty
void. l call to mind an aged saint
whose life all through, had been a
succession of hardships and privations
| yet it was said of her that the years
had been full of blessed ministries
she had outlived her near friends anC
relatives, and was dependent upor
charity. Partial blindness and deaf
ness added to her troubles, yet she
had smile and word of cheer fol
all. A clear mind, and a good memor!
was a great comfort, she spent hour!
in repeating poems by the best auth
ors, and dictated those of her own
whenever some one kind enough t.
write for her was found.
But Auntie, what have you to b.
thankful for?" asked one. to whicl
she replied, 81 am thankful for
thankful heart,"-and said she, Z"
came away with feeling of fresl
hope and courage"

SALVATION ARMY
WAR FUND CAMPAIGN

The Salvation Army War fund cam
paign is becoming statewide, and the
organization is expecting every coun-
ty in the state to make a substantial
contribution to the fund. Numbers
of campaigns have been held, while
many more are set for early dates in
June.
Contributions intended for the Sal
vation Army War fund should be given
to persons duly appointed locally to
receive and remit contributions. The
Salvation Army has no individual So
iicitor in Wisconsin collecting for this
fund. Authorized persons will usually
be named by the County Council of
Defense or special committee, or the
postmaster.
The Salvation Army huts furnish
homes for the boys 'over there" They
sell papers, canned goods and sun
| dries and sometimes pies and dough-
nuts. On Sunday evening there is SER
| vice, and once during the week song
service. American girls work in these
| huts, and they do all they can in the
way of bringing cheer to the soldiers
as they come back from the front lines

WATER SUPPLY AT
STEVENS POINT

e. ]. Tully, State Sanitary Engineer;
DR.. l.. E. Spencer Of Wausau and S.
B. Bugge, expert for the Wausau Sui
phate and Fibre Co., located at Mosi-
nee, have made a report to the city of
Stevens Point. They found that the
bad odor and dark color of the water
are due to natural conditions in the
river, from which the water for the
city is obtained. The Mosinee COM
pany was exonerated from blame for
the condition of the water, but the
engineer recommended that steps be
taken to eliminate lime from the
water, to dispose of the bark else
where and that the waste In general
be consumed, without discharging it
into the river. He also recommended
a coagulating unit be added to the
present liberation system at Stevens
Point, as soon as possible. He pro-
nounced the present liberation plant
at Stevens Point of no value.

Treasurer-Edwin Sparr.
Last Thursday evening, May %, the
Wausau High School class of 1918,
made it's last appearance as Seniors,
and joined the ranks of Wausau alum
nj.
The commencement program opened
with the following appropriate selec-
tions by the High school orchestra:
"Over the Top" by O'Hara; Keep
the Home Fires Burning" by Novello;
"Over There" by Cohan; "The Stars
and Stripes" by Sousa; Third Degree
Waltzes," by BendiX. The members
of the orchestra deserve much praise
for the splendid music rendered on
this occasion.
The 1918 graduating class entered
as the "War March from Alfalfa" by
Mendelssohn was played.
Next on the program was a song,
"The Flag by Hadley, and given by
the Senior Chorus, which included
members carefully chosen, and their
efforts were very effective.
A vocal solo, when the Great Red
Dawn is Shining" by Sharpe, was ably
taken by Miss Kathryn Geier. The
combination of her pleasing person
ality and voice, appealed greatly to
the audience, and she was we'll re-
ceived.
DR.. John Merritte Driver of Chicago
delivered the annual address, and took
an appropriate subject to speak on,
namely, young America and His
Mission" His lectures make a uni
versal appeal to human interest They
grip all his listeners from the college
president to school boy, and ground
ed in great fundamental principals
that vitality concern human welfare,
and surcharges the atmosphere until
every hearer goes home with his heart
and mind full of it. DR.. Driver is a
famous lecturer, also a preacher, nov
elist and composer. He has travelled
extensively through the European
countries, and is familiar with the
people, country and customs of the
old world.
DR. Driver talked on education and
patriotism, placing the two together
and construed it as the means to the
highest state of citizenship. The high
est citizenship stands first for the
highest possible physical condition.
He cited Chicago as city that has
never seen a darker day than right
now, when Thousands of young men,
desiring to serve their country, have
been turned away because of being
disqualified.
He said, "I've been seeing our great
American soldiers hurrying to the call
of the colors. I have seen all the
soldiers of the world. These Amer
ican boys of ours are the biggest
handsomest body of young men on the
face of Gods green earth. Don't i'm
agine they can fail. These brave boys
of ours will plant the Stars and Stripes
all up the Rhine; they'll never stop
until they nail Old Glory on the speak
er's desk in the imperial palace OF
Berlin"

THE "OTHER MANS WIFE"

The eternal triangle, the man, the
wife and the other man, or the wife,
the husband and the other woman;
this is the basis for all stories and
naturally is as old as time. To treat
this age Old basic principle in a new
or clever manner 'is a consummation
devoutly to be wished" and in "The
Other Mans Wife," the Lambert Pro-
ducing COmpany's (Not Inc) play a
new treatment of this old theme is
to be found.
The play is from the pen of Victor
f. Lambert, and abounds in a sue
cession of clever situations. The COM
edy scenes arc numerous, and the
press has been most flattering in what
they have had to say about the play.
"The Other Mans Wife," will be
seen at the Grand tomorrow, Wednes-
day, May 29
