COUNCIL OF DEFENSE

The Marathon County Council of
Defense met on Tuesday evening at
the court house, c. B. Bird, presiding.
1t was voted to have a food and
canning demonstration at the county
fair in charge of Miss Mary Brady,
during fair week.
Miss Brady was reappointed demon
strator in food conservation for an
other year.
The questions of farm labor was
discussed. 1t was very evident that
sa many young men going away to war
would create scarcity of labor on
the farm. 1t was voted that the sec
rotary, H. E.. Marquardt and county
agricultural agent, A. G.. Burg, be in
structed to canvass the factories and
business places for help and secure
list of those who will be willing
to give few days of their time to
the farmer. The same committee was
also instructed to call convention
OF the threshermen of Marathon coun-
ty, on the 25th of July. 1t was further
authorized that A. g. Burg arrange
for such convention, and to publish a
list of threshing machines, which are
in first class condition.
A number of circulars were read
from the State Council of Defense on
various matters, but upon which ac-
ton was not deemed necessary.

BUILDINGS BURNED AND STOCK
KILLED

The farm buildings of Mr.. Ship
way of the town of Wausau, six
miles northeast of Wausau, were

products stored in the barns, as
well as farm machinery, etc. Some
stock was also lost.
Henry Henig, whose farm is near
Rib Falls, lost nine head of pure
bred Holstein cattle last night; they
were struck by lighting and all
killed.
Jos. Kuchera's farm home, across
the river from the Marathon Paper
Mills Co., was burned last night.
1t was struck by lightning and
entirely destroyed.
A number of other places are
reported struck during the heavy
electrical storm but particulars, up
to the time of going to press, not
confirmed.

PUBLICITY AND CRITICISM.

Congress shall make no law
abridging the freedom of speech or of
the, press" so reads a clause in our
Constitution.
This is q wise provision. The citi-
Eens of a democracy should at all
times know of and be able to criticise
the management OF their affairs. In
vestigation and criticism in the pres
ent war have been of great benefit
In Fastening our preparation by point
ing out errors that have been made,
There Is no doubt whatever that the
great safeguards in the conduct of the
war are almost unlimited publicity and
the right OF criticism.
We are told that constructive crit
tcism is always welcome, but who is
to decide what is constructive? Why
not criticism without the adjective?
Most citizens believe that Universal
Military Training as : corrective of
our appropriateness would have been
constructive. and yet it was not adopt
ed. Who can tell, If It had been &C
cepted when first proposed, what the
result would have been on this warl
If we had had more publicity upon
the production of neroplanes, shipping
anu ordnance, the suggestions of think
Ing men would unquestionably have
stimulated the rapidity with which
these articles were being produced,
end the delays that have occurred
might have been avoided.
There are things the Government
cannot make public, and these the peo-
pie do not ask TO know. But In the
main full information concerning the
progress of preparation can safely be
given to the people. 1t is the peoples
war; IL is a war supported by the peo-
pie, financially and physically. and
suggestions by them should be sought
and considered

knitting machine, so that the feet may

ers. One thousand pair must be fin
ished by the first of September.
Surgical dressings also need much
attention. The quota for this month
has not been completed, and there are
only a few days left in which to get
the work done. Rush to the Red Cross
rooms as many as can, and as often
as you can.
Supplies from branches throughout
the county are continually showing
up at the headquarters.
A "rag-ball" social was given a short
time ago for the boys at Trappe and
Granite Heights leaving for military
service. 1t was also Red Cross bene-
tit affair, and 1882 was turned over
to the headquarters here.

bers realized $25O0 from the affair
which has been turned in to the head
quarters.
l.. A. Pfadt, chairman of the Mara
thon County Chapter of the Red Cross,
has received notice from the Central
Division, requesting that no more en-
tertainments be given at the present
time for the benefit of the Red Cross.
The reason for this is that enough
money was raised during the last
drive to take care of things for the
present.
A donation of an electric fan would
be very much appreciated at the Red
cross work rooms. There is much
work to be done and during these
terribly warm days, a fan would be
relief to the workers.
The town of Cleveland sent in a
check for $500 yesterday to the Red
Cross headquarters.
