THE GREAT BATTLE

The great battle on the Western
front still continues to wage with all
the fury imaginable 1t has kept up
constantly now for nearly two weeks;
while the German armies have re-
gained the ground from which they
were driven out last season, when
their forces were divided in battling
Russia. Hindenburg, as he declared,
hoped to be in Paris on the 1st of
April today-but his armies failed to
open the way. There is a weakening
of the entente forces; the French and
English are displaying splendid resist
ance and getting ready to make a
strong counter stroke in which they
will be aided by their reserves. when
ever the enemy shows signs of weak
ening. No one can tell when the bat
tie will end but one thing is certain
and that is the allied lines will be
held, which means defeat for the
Germans and perhaps one that will
be the beginning of their downfall.

REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
Cool Rain and DeIuge Flooded
Fields of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest,
For weeks and months we had no
rain, relates a writer in the Country
Gentleman. Every day big. promising
looking clouds rolled no, broke apart
and drifted away Streams were dried
up. vegetation was burning up and life
was well-nigh unbearable to man and
beast. From u to Is inches of sand
and dust covered the highways; gnats
made life hideOus; heat parched our
skin and throats. Rain was the only
relief. and rain we did not get. Every
night at bedtime four-year-old Robert
on Blended knees by his little white bed
asked God: please don't forget TO
send a nice. cool rain"
One day the big, black clouds rolled
up as usual, but we noticed that they
were all fringed with green. Pretty
soon big wind sprang up and leveled
small houses and barns. broke down
trees. scattered chickens, ducks, straw
and haystacks all over the country. A
big hail followed the wind. and then
came rain-a perfect delugei Streams
rose clear out of their banks and the
water came creeping over the fields
and toward the houses and cattle
pens: pretty soon Il had flooded the
yard and was nearly to the door.
Small Robert took a survey of the
situation. and then in a small. fright
ened voice said: Daddy. don't blame
IT all on me. God had ought TO knowed
a small kid like me didn't need such
awful big. rain"

HALFWAY WORK DEGRADING
Should Confess Our Poverty or Parsi-
mony, But Not Belle Our Human
Intellect, Says Writer.

We are, none of us, wrote Ruskin,
so good architects as to be able to
work habitually beneath our strength;
and yet there is rot a building that l
know of, lately raised, wherein it is
not sufficiently evident that neither
architect nor builder has done his
best. 1t Is the especial characteristic
of modern work. All old work nearly
has been hard work. 1t may be the
hard work of children, of barbarians,
of rustics; but it is always their ut
most. Let US have done with this kind
of work at once; cast off every temp
tation to it; do not let us degrade our
selves voluntarily, and then mutter
and mourn over our shortcomings; let
us confess our poverty or our parSi-
mony, but not belle our human intel
lect. 1t Is not a question of doing
more, but Of doing better Do not let
us boss our roofs with wretched, half
worked, blunt-edged rosettea; do not
let us flank our gates with rigid imita-
tons of medieval statuary. Such
things are mere insults to common
sense, and only unfit us for feeling the
nobility of their prototypes.

Ever See a Dingonek?

The dingonek is q huge, unclassified
aquatic monster, says the Wide World
Magazine. 1t resembles in many of its
characteristics the extinct dinosaur.
huge reptile of the MesoZoic period, fos-
sis of which have been discovered by
paleontologists in the sandstone strata
both of the African and American con-
tinents. 1t lives in Lake Victoria Ny
ANA and its numerous tributaries and
there IS no record of the monster hav-
ing been seen in any other part of the
world. Whether 1t is a descendant Of
one of the huge prehistoric saurians
that has by 8 process of adaptation
living as il does in impenetrable re-
gions far away from the encroachments
OF civilized man-continued with but
slight notifications through prodigious
ages to the present time. or whether it
is an unclasSified reptile or amphibian,
Ii is equally impossible to say, as no
specimen exists either Of its bones or
of its skin. That this monster does ex-
ist, however, there can be no particle
of doubt, as the testimony of authori-
tative eyewitnesSes cannot be reason
ably -discrediIed-

MEETINGS OF THE
COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The regular meeting of the Mara
thon County Council of Defense was
held on Tuesday evening at the court
house, c. B. Bird presiding.
The matter of making more thor
ough organization of the county was
discussed there being present the fol-
lowing members of the county board:
F. ]. Bandy, town of Flieth; C. P.
Paff, town OF Wausau; Fred Broecker,
village OF Schofield, and Arden Par
onto OF Mosinee. Much good resulted
from the interchange of opinions.
G. b. Bird presented his resignation
as chairman, giving his reasons, which
were to the effect that much was
asked OF him in the way of public
speaking and he felt that he could
be OF more service to his country in
meeting these requests. He also sug-
gested paid secretary as Mr.. Thayer
could not give the time necessary
for work which was increasing daily
A committee of three was appointed
to recommend a successor to Mr..
Bird, also paid secretary and a stem
ographer.
A special meeting of the Council
was held at the court house on Sat-
urday morning to meet Reid Murray,
representative of the State Council
of Defense. Mr.. Murray's object was
to discuss with the members of the
Marathon County Council, the matter
of securing more effective local or
CARNATIONS throughout the county.
Last year the officers of each school
district comprised the local councils.
Mr.. Murray told what was being done
in other counties, but owing to the
large territory covered by Marathon
county, which is the largest in the
state, it has to be worked on a some
what different plan. Mr.. Murray is
engaged more especially in the agri-
cultural part of the work and assured
the council that Marathon would raise
its increased amount of wheat this sea-
son, which is 40 per cent.

Sunlight Distressing.

In addition to the wind there is an
other popularity of the inland ice
which adds TO the difficulties to be
encountered in the Arctic. That is the
extreme intensity of the sunlight,
which can be realized only by those
who have experienced it. During the
summer months the sun shines as
brightly there in clear weather as any,
where further south, and this contin-
uous brilliancy is intensified a hun
dredfold by the reflection from endless
fields of glistening, sparkling snow,
unrelieved by a single object. The
strongest eyes can stand such a blind
ing glare only few hours without
protection. We always wore heavy
smoked glasses, and when in camp
found it impossible to sleep without
still further protecting the eyes by
tying a narrow band of fur about them
TO exclude the light. Only when a
storm is brewing does this intense
light become subdued. At such times,
however, the sky and snow take on a
peculiar gray, Opaque light, which is
even more trying than the sunlight

SET AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY
Street Car Passenger Left Fare With
Woman Who Took Advantage of
Opportunity to Be Dishonest

The man in the corner seat looked
worried. At last he spoke.
Madam" he said, twill you kindly
take this nickel and give it to the con-
ductor when he comes aroundf have
been trying to catch his eye, but he ap-
parently does not see me. VIII you see
that he gets it?'
The woman sat bewildered in the
presence Of such extraordinary hon.
esty, but she good-naturedly accepted
the trust. After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish line
Of communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
But you shouldn't have been so &C
commodating," said her husband. you
should have got off at your corner"
''But how could II" the woman ar
gued. "With that mans honesty be-
fore me as an example Of right living
1 simply had to turn his nickel over to
the conductor"
Maybe you are right" said the man
admiringly. Women certainly do have
fine notions about these things. But
it is too bad. You had to walk back"
ooh, no, didn't walk" she said. "I
rode"
"And that cost you another nickel"
'No, it didn't" she said. '9The con-
ductor never even looked my way
when he came through, and I got on
without having to pay"

EASTER SUNDAY

Easter Sunday dawned beautifully
upon Wausau and ideal spring weather
was had in this city throughout the
entire day. The Easter festival was
observed here as in previous years,
but undoubtedly with more serious
ness and impressiveness than ever be-
fore on account of the critical condi-
ton of this world today.
Early in the morning our people
could be seen in large numbers on
the streets vending their way to
church. Our places of worship were
all well filled during the services on
this great and holy day The churches
were beautifully decorated with palms,
ferns and flowers, the Easter lilies,
the flower of purity and spiritual
beauty, predominating Special SER
mons appropriate to the significance
of Easter were preached from the
pulpits Of the various churches by
the pastors. The holy Easter season.
is the time of the year when this
world celebrates the reclamation of
Christ from the catacomb. Easter
music was rendered by the choirs and
by individuals and in some of our
churches Easter programs were given
by the children. On Easter Sunday
evening concerts were given in some
OF the churches. In all churches
happy voices hailed the joyous Easter
greetings that Death reigns no more.
The Lord hath risen! Life the grave
doth scOrn."
For many years the custom of send
ing out Easter greetings to relatives
N no oh 0f
cards has been kept up, and the same
held good this year. Eggs have al
ways been associated with the day as
symbolic of the resurrection. Candy
eggs of all colors are always good.
Flowers and growing plants are es-
pecially appropriate to this season,
and especially the beautiful Easter
Lily.
Easter morning is always looked
forward to with great interest by the
children, and they are up brighter and
earlier than on most mornings. The
children are anxious to hunt the pref
tily tinted Easter eggs left for them
by the Easter rabbits on this particu-
lar morning. The rabbits are careful
to place the eggs in secure places,
and often times the children have a
hard time finding them. The Easter
pleasure is looked forward to by the
children every year.
The Easter season is also a home
coming season. Many of our young
people attending colleges, universities
and other schools spent the season in
their homes here. On account of there
being no spring vacations in the
schools this year, {. goodly number
were unable to get home for Easter.
Easter Sunday is a very quietly
observed day, as is the Lenten season,
and especially Holy Week.
Easter Monday was observed by
some of our churches with morning
services

CHIME CLOCKS SET AHEAD

At four o'clock Saturday afternoon,
March 30, 1918, in every state in the
union more than two thousand of the
o. B. McClintock company clocks and
chimes announced the commencement
of the governments daylight saving
program. The First National Bank
of this city have one of these clocks
and chimes, which was also set an
hour ahead Saturday afternoon at
four o'clock. This happening on Sat
urday afternoon caused a great deal
of amusement. People forgetting
themselves hurried home an hour ear
ly for supper, and found the evening
meal not in readiness, wondered what
was wrong. All of a sudden these
people tumbled to the fact that the
chime clock had been set ahead.
