COUNCIL OF DEFENSE
THIS EVENING
That 1t is Going to Re-OrganiZe and

The Marathon County Council OF
Defense will meet in regular session
this evening at the court house, at
7:30 o'clock The Council have an
office, after this date in the rooms of
the Wausau Chamber of Commerce,
where H. E. Marquardt, the new paid
executive secretary will be in charge
throughout each day.
The story which has been given
circulation that the Council is going
to take into membership everybody
in the county, la, the Loyalty Legion;
that it has adopted a form of card
enrolment giving the objects of the
new scheme of organization, is all
moonshine; no such action has been
taken by the Council up to this date,
1t is merely going to get its local
councils throughout the county ar
ranged for more active work. Up
to this time the Council has been able
TO take care of all that has been asked
of it by the state. 1t has been de-
cided by the state to get more in touch
with the farming communities to bet
ter look to the farmers wants in the
way of seed, labor, ETC., and to urge
the raising of crops and many other
things, for this reason it was neces-
sary to open room for the more
aggressive work.

are very commonplace at home.
