walter Alexander for Governor

An effort is being made to induce
Walter Alexander Of this city to be-
come a candidate for the Office OF
governor of Wisconsin, on the repub-
lican ticket. There is no stronger
man in his party today than Mr..
Alexander. In fact, there is no repub-
lican in the state, who will pull more
democratic votes than he will if nom
mated. 1t is not so sure that Gov.
Philips will step aside for Mr.. Alex
ander or any one else. He has held
the position of governor for two
terms and it is said is DESTROYS Of
hanging on for two years more. The
TOmahaWk Leader proposing Mr..
Alexander for governor says:
while Mr.. Alexander has always
supported the conservative faction his
personal attitude has been such as
not to unnecessarily antagonize the
pTOgressiVes.
Mr.. Alexander has been a resident
of Wausau for many years and is
recognized as one Of the foremost cit
liens of Wisconsin.
While a farmer and breeder on a
large scale Of pure bred cattle the
fact may not be generally known, for
the reason that his other business in
terests have occupied most Of his time
and attention.
Many of the leaders in both fac
tiOns Of the party think that the time
is right for the nomination of a can
didate whom all republicans can sup
port without regard to past fractional
differences, and leading prOgressives
incline to the opinion that it is pref
cradle to endeavor to unite on a can
didate who has been recognized as a
conservative, whose loyalty is unques-
toned, and who will be absolutely fair
in his official actions, rather than to
endeaVOr to unite on a candidate whose
political convictions have not been
pronounced enough to identify him
with either faction.
Mr.. AIexander's ability as vote
getter was demonstrated when he was
candidate at the primary for dele
gate to the National Convention and
was the only conservative elected in
the State of Wisconsin,"

WAUSAU WAR WORK
APPRECIATED IN PARIS

The Wausau committee of the
American Fund for French Wounded
have been holding a jubilee the past
week because of commentator re-
ceived for their work direct from
the Paris office to Chicago Headquart-
ers. This work, the making of
pajamas, has been carried on for a
year and half, at the home of Mrs.
c. c. Hawkey, and it is very crafty
ing to the group of women to know
that the garments have been so CRATE
fully received and have helped to
supply the hospitals, of France. The
letter says in part: 'When | tell you
that letter from one of our work
ers in the Paris Office contains the
following paragraph, "PaiamaS of the
NauSau sort are asked for at every
turn" you can readily understand
how valuable your output is and how
much it is appreciated as an individ-
Ual contribution.

INTERESTING CONDOLENCES

Several interesting condolences
have happened in the camp libraries,
which will be of more than passing
interest to WaUsau people. It is well
known by citizens here and in Mara
thon county that the public library
has sent out a very large number of
books to the different training camps
but the work of distributing these
books has been carried on il a little
different way than in most places.
Our librarian has notified the people
mere OF the urgent need of books for
the soldiers and sailors, and the
response has been most enCOuraging
III the way of books and magazines.
The reading material has been sent to
the library, where it has been packed
up and sent out directly to Wausau
and Marathon county boys, who have
written to the librarian for the same.
Recently the librarian adopted a new
way Of getting the books into the
hands of the soldier and sailor bows.
which has been considered about the
best way of handling this matter.
Every time contingent of men left
the city, she would provide them with
books, usually averaging one to each
man. This saved the necessary ex-
press and freight charges, also got
the books to the various camps much
quicker than by sending after the
boys had reached the camps.
The past week an interesting letter
was received by Miss Hannah r.
Koran from her brother. Corporal
John I. Koran, who is with Company
q, 12S Infantry, Somewhere in
France in which he stated that he
had just finished reading a book
marked, "The Library or J. n. Manson.
Wausau, Wis" On the fly leaf was
written, 'Helen S. Manson" The bows
look through the books first for names
of the donors, and if they find a name
which they know, and especially from
their home town, the books prove
doubly interesting.
Miss Helen Curtis heard from a
sailor lad on one Of our TRANSPORTS
some time ago, stating that her dona-
ton in the shape of a book was on
this particular transport, and being
read by all the boys.
Several incidents similar to the two
mentioned above have happened with
books sent out from here. and we can
Wen imagine how happy it must make
the boys feel when they strike books
from their home town, with familiar
names in them. The same is true of
magazines, which have some out from
here.
Do the men in the camps read
When do they find time for it?
Some people have been asking the
one question, and others have been
doubtful about the second. There is
no one thing that is of greater value
to the men in the environments in
producing cOntentment with their
surroundings than properly selected
reading matter. Many times men who
nave been drilling, marching and dig
gIng trenches all day are too tired in
the evening to walk any great dis
lance for books. and an effort has
been made to bring the books as near
TO the soldiers barracks as possible
Travelling libraries have been resorted
TO with very great success.
Between 1900 and 2500 books have
been sent out from the library in
this city, and out of this number. about
oO0 were sent to Chicago. from which
place they were sent out where needed
badly, to different camps here. on
transports, and TO France.

PARADED FOR
THE RED CROSS
Young Girls Make s23.43 to Help
Win the War

Yesterday afternoon, thirteen enter
prising young girls of our city ar
ranged a parade for the benefit of
the Red Cross. The idea was con-
,ceiyed by Catherine Curtis and carried
out without hitch. The girls were
dressed to represent Red Cross work
ers. At the head was a drummer boy,
two girls carrying flags, four girls
carrying a flag into which money was
thrown for the Red Cross. The march
was up and down some of the princi-
pal streets and to few of the homes
and the result of the patriotic work
of the little girls was $23.43 for the
Red Cross. The following were in the
parade: George Foster, drummer;
Catherine and Emma Curtis, Nancy
Gamble and Betty Thorn, carrying
flag into which money was thrown;
Harriet Curtis, Betty Gamble, Helen
Everest, Virginia Pardoe, Lucy Gale
Lockhart, Josephine Foster, Margaret

Several kodak pictures of the par
aders were taken.

What Your Country Expects.

Your country is counting on you to
furnish the sinews of war in this, the
mightiest contest that the world has
ever known. 1t is counting on your
money, your labor, and your spirit Of
self-sacrifice. World wars can not be
won by talk alone, and they can not
be won by resources unless those re-
sources are so directed that they count
in the actual prosecution of the war.
America, as we all know, is the rich
est nation in the world. 1t has the
most money, the most factories and
the most natural resources. But the
money will not do us any good in the
war unless it is modified for the use
of the Government.
This is why the War Savings Stamp
campaign was devised by the Govern
ment. 1t gives every man, every wom-
an and every child an opportunity to
do something for the country they
love. You do not have to be million
aire and buy a lot of bonds. Your
Your twenty-five cents for Thrift
Stamp or your $4.16 for War Savings
Stamp will help your country and he1p
it now. And the fact that ysn did
without something to get the money te
purchase this stamp will help even
more, for the country can not get its
war work done if the factories are busy
ministering to your pleasure.

Ignite Goals May Provide
Many important Supplies

Secretary Lane has recommended to
congress an appropriation Of 100000
to investigate the commercial and eco
nomic practicability Of utilizing the
Ignite Goals of the United States for
producing fuel oil, gasoline substitutes,
ammonia, coal tar and gas for power.
There are immense quantities Of Ignite
deposits in the public lands OF the
United States lying near the surface Of
the earth and cheaply mined, but the
coal is Of such character that it does
not stand transportation in its natural
state and is Of small value for fuel ex-
cept in the immediate vicinity Of the
mines. If satisfactory method OF ex-
tracing fuel oil and other substances
is secured it would be Of enormous
value and add immensely to the re-
sources of the United States. 1t is pro-
posed to have the Investigations con-
Quoted through the bureau Of mines.

How About 1t, Mr.. Banker?

The bankers of Kentucky do not yet
fully realize the importance Of the War
Savings campaign as part of the much
greater campaign to defeat the Huns
of Europe 1t is not the primary pur-
pose of the War Savings campaign to
get two billion dollars for the Govern
ment, important as that is. Our pri-
mary purpose is to give direction to
the tremendous, but scattered energy OF
Mr.. Average American. Every twenty
five cent piece put into Thrift Stamp,
every four dollars and fifteen cents
put into War Savings Stamp is just
that much more energy released for
the blow our Government is striking.
OF all people in this country, bank
ers ought to be the first to see this,
and to appreciate also the great and
valuable lesson of thrift which will be
driven deep into the minds Of the pres,
ant and rising generation if the War
Savings campaign really succeeds.
Many OF the banks in Kentucky are
not yet actively interested in the War
Savings movement. A great many OF
hem. indeed, have the stamps on sale
