FOURTH OF JULY

The United States is approaching
another birthday. The Fourth OF
July this year will be the most glor-

ever known, and still it will be cele-
brated in a quieter way possibly imam
ever known in our history. With q
spirit of patriotism never before DEM

crate Independence day. On Amerl-
cas- great day in this year, practlc-
ally every nation in the world has
been drawn into the world war whirl-

eping; and a year of wonderful
achievements in our history. The
whole country marches with the
American flag, and all respond to the
call of Liberty. The peoples of this
great country Of ours stand faithfully
by President Woodrow Wilson, who
has called the nation to service, and
they are a unit behind him. Our
splendid American army and navy at
home and abroad are growing rapidly
in numbers and power, and have now
arrived on foreign soil to meet the
enemy, and before returning will
make the world free for all peoples,
and will carry Old Glory home again
unstained.
The day will be quietly celebrated
in Wausau. All places of business
will be closed, and our hearts and
minds will be set on our brave men,
who are spending the day in the
trenches.
AT Rothschild park a patriotic pro-
gram and community singing will be
the afternoon entertainment. S. B.
Tobey will read the Declaration of
independence at $3.50 in the after

Schultz orchestra will furnish the
music for the evening. Refreshments

this water sport.
At the fair grounds picnics will be
enjoyed and general social time
will be had in the grove of pine trees.
The entertainment committee at the
Wausau Country club will be in charge
of the doings at that place.
There will be very few firecrackers

July. 1t has been found necessary
to Hooverize on these, and all kinds

stamps as they can possibly save for
during the balance of the year.

receive subscriptions every day and
subscriptions will also be taken at
all banks.
