The proclamation follows

The proclamation follows:
Inasmuch as the war fund of l9l/
so generously contributed by the
American people TO the American
Red Cross for the administration
of relief at home and abroad, has
been practically exhausted by ap-
propriations for the welfare OF men
in our military and naval forces and
those dependent upon them and TOR
the vet more urgent necessities OF
our allies, military and civilian, who
have long borne the brunt of war;;
And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law and international convention as
the public instrumentality for war
relief;
And, inasmuch as the year OF our
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands
upon the patriotism and liberahty
OF our people and made evident the
necessity of concentrating the work
of relief in one main organization
which can respond effectively and
universally to the needs OF human
itV under stress OF war;
And. inasmuch as the duration OF
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation OF the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy,
with governments OF our allies and
with foreign relief organizations,
have resulted in the discovery Of
new opportunities of helpfulness un-
der conditions which translate op-
portunity into duty;
And. inasmuch as the Red Cross
council and its commissioners in
Europe have faithfully and econom-
ically administered the peoples
truSt;
Now, therefore by virtue Of my
authority as president Of the United
States and president Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. |. Woodrow Wilson,
do hereby proclaim the week begin
ming May 20, 1918, as Red Cross
week during which the people of the
United States will be called upon
again to give generously to the i'm
portant work of relieving distress,
restoring the waste of war and as
sisting in maintaining the morale OF
our own troops and the troops and
peoples Of our allies by this mani
festation Of effort and sacrifice on
the part of those who though not
privileged to bear arms, are Of one
spirit, purpose and determination
with our warriors.
In witness whereof | have here

Adulterated Tobacco"

London Chronicle: Archimedes

the German soldier find the mini

Raleigh convinced Queen Bess
that he could tell the weight OF tine

by weighing the tobacco first and

CLOCKS SET ONE HOUR AHEAD

Commencing with Sunday morning,
March 31st, the clocks of Wausau
were turned ahead one hour, in fact
all over the United States the more
daylight plan was adopted, according
to the law of our country. Those who
did not set their clocks ahead an
hour on Sunday found themselves at
church much sooner than the accus-
toned hour. According to the clock,
one goes to work and quits at the
same hour that he previously did; he
eats his meals according to the hour.
indicated by the clock, that he did
formerly, and if he wants to get the
number of hours of sleep that he did
formerly he must go to his bed by
the Gle ok. This will give an hour
longer of daylight from the hour of
supper, which time one can work
his war garden" In reality this is
what should be done to help the
country, but it's dollars to doughnuts
that it will save more time to play
golf or other amusements. Il is easy.
All one has to do on Sunday morn
ing was to turn his clock one hour
ahead and then go on as before
All railroad schedules will remain
unchanged and go according to the
new time. For instance a train due
here at Z o'clock a. m. will arrive by
| the clock at D. m.
All western union clocks were regu-
lated Sunday morning from a master
clock at Washington, d. C.
Ii should be understood that the
act is mandatory. The change is not
matter for local discretion or in
dlyiduai preference but is required
throughout the United States.
1t is Wausau's first experience and
no doubt, old timers will watch the
sun and when the line runs straight
north and south, they will eat. and
when drowsiness oyertakes them they
viii go to bed-that is for few DAYS
at least When they fad they are an
hour behind time and are lacked up By
their wives to be on time for meals
or go without" they will get on to
the new order of things.

OH, THAT FLAG!

At the speech given by Gov. Philip
on Wednesday evening, it being in a
sense a patriotic meeting, it was
expected that there would be a rather
copious display of colors, but there
wasn't even piece of bunting decora-
ton to indicate the important nature
of the meeting. When the enormity
Of the oversight was realized there
was CONSERVATION behind the scenes
and cold drops of perspiration trickled
down from the faces of a few I'M
comfortable patriots. The longest
legged individual among them was
selected to make run Tor the colors.
He eXcitedly rushed into the Wausau
Club but found that it's flag was fly
ing at the most head
Der the land of the free and the home of
the free"
Wild-eyed, he then sought a near
by church and seized it's colors and
beat hasty retreat for the opera
house, and it is safe to say that no
flag ever tapped in the breeze as that
one did in passing through the air for
two blocks. A helper placed the flag
on the stage back of the governor and
the country was saved.

FROM IDAHO

The Pilot received a letter from
Conrad Steltz the other day from
Genesee, Idaho. Conrad is a Wausau
boy, born and raised here. He says:
sleighing only for day or two and
the robins have been with us all win
ter. Now we are having real spring
weather and expect TO pegin work in
very few days. California has moth
ing on Idaho, when it comes to elm

concise and to the point and if they
could only be the slogan of every
American citizen, there would be no
shortage of food for our boys, no
peace, only a victorious one.
