FLAG RAISING IN THE
TOWN OF GREEN VALLEY

The day was fine and a large num-
Der of men, women and children gath
cred at the fine new hall of the town
of Green Valley yesterday to witness
the raising of the American Flag and
Honor Flag.
The program was under the direc-
ton of school district six, Miss
Mcguire teacher. w. X. Mitchell of
Wausau directed the community sing
ing.
Stirring addresses were made by the
Rev. Britten of Mosinee and Mr..
Jones of the town of Green Valley.
The raising of the flag was most
impressive. The town board had
erected two flag poles, and the flags
were slowly raised while the large
gathering sang "The Star Spangled
Banner"
The residents of the town of Green
Valley can justly feel proud of their
achievements. The fine spirit of CO.
operation has enabled them to go $50
"over the top" in the third bond sale,
and the ladies in spite of the many
cares that the farm life brings with
it, have done splendid Red Cross work.
w. X Mitchell and C. G. Kruger
represented Wausau at the celebra-
ton.

Whatever faults Chatterer the Red
Squirrel may have laziness is not one
of them. He doesn't waste any time
about anything. No sooner did he
discover that his biggest and best
storehouse was empty than he started
out to find out who had stolen his
supplies. He knew right away who
might have done it. There were sew
eral of his friends, or his neighbors
at least, who could make very good
use Of just such supplies. There was
Happy Jack Squirrel. and Striped
Chipmunk, and Jimmy the Flying
Squirrel, and Sammy Jay, and White
foot the Wood Mouse.
At first he strongly suspected
Sammy Jay. but when he happened
to think that Sammy could never in

His sharp eyes missed nothing, and
presently he discovered a gray hair
caught on a bit of bark. That was
enough. He knew then that Happy

You see. Happy Jack had discovered
two little red hairs on his doorstep.
and these had told him all he wanted

world that Chatterer had stolen those
supplies. So he was on his way to
teach Chatterer a lesson.

of those two Squirrels did go when
they met! If there was anything bad

Corp. 1semann went over the top sew
eral times just before the signing Of the
armistice. First bullet scraped his
wrist, but did practically no damage.
and he did not even have to put
bandage on it. Shortly afterward an
other hit button on the belt of his
overcoat. spoiled the button and glanced
off. Next, one went right through the
top Of his canteen. Finally some Hun
put one through both his jaws, but luck

tongue.

The decision made by Mr.. Baker,

unfavorable comment. 1t would
seem as If all recommendations for

were on file in the War Department
as result of hard and faithful work
should be acted on favorably, and
the desired honor granted to all
recommended if filed with the adju-
tant general prior to the date of the
Not since the war started

ment expressed on any subject as
on this matter. 1t is without doubt
a difficult problem to explain to the
folks at home the reason why the
