WAUSAU ROTARY CLUB
Luncheon at st. Johns Church Flee.
ton of Officers and Addresses

The Rotary luncheon held at the
noon hour at St. Johns Guild hall on
Monday was an unusually interesting
one. Lieut.. Norman Stone, who is at
home on a furlough from Camp Grant,
Rockford, Ill. was the guest of James
Montgomery at the club and when
called upon at the close of the lunch
con, the latter introduced the lieuten-
ant, which was only formality, as he
is known to every member of the club.
He gave a most interesting talk on
the various phases of the war, explain
ing many things which were not clear
only to those in the service. The
! lieutenant was given an ovation.
Judge A. H. Reid made the principal
address of the luncheon, it being upon
! Boys Work" He thought there was
a great opportunity for organization
in Wausau, preferably in Boys Scout
work, but it would require labor on the
part of many men who were fitted for
it, for central body and for scout
masters, if a movement was made
success. He dwelt upon formation of
"a boys character in the steen age"
and felt that if intelligent direction
was given a growing boy during his
recreation hours, much good would
result; that if young man reached
the age of q without getting into the
courts for a dismeanor it was very
likely he would pass through life with
clear record, with exceptions under
certain conditions Judge Reid spoke
in behalf of a committee which had
been appointed,on Boys Work" by the
oInh No 1I1oo do 10
and the question left open for further
thought, and action will be taken later
On the question of "Smileage Books"
Geo. w. Phillips hit upon happy So
luton. The club had undertaken to
furnish smileage book to every Sc
lected man leaving for the war. AS
these are $1.00 apiece it meant large
outlay. Mr.. Phillip suggested having
a dance to raise the necessary funds.
and there is no hall in the city to
accommodate the crowd Messrs. B. F.
Wilson and M. G. Ewing being present
offered the use of Rothschild pavilion
free for the occasion. 1t was voted to
hold the party as suggested and the
following named committee was ap-
pointed to take charge of the affair:
Geo. w. Phillips, Fred G. Wiechmann,
w. H. Thorn, p. V. o. VanVechten,
w. F.. Weinkauf and VIM. thinner.
The chairman of the "War Chest
Fund" committee, made a report and
it was suggested that the question be
referred to the Marathon County Coun-
Gil of Defense.
Ballots had been printed and Just
before going into luncheon each mem

Herbert III. Nicholas will Talk at the
Court House Friday Evening

On Friday evening next, at the court
house, Private Herbert H. Nicholas,
one of Gen. Pershing's men, will give
an address on "Winnngi the War;
Private Nicholas is a member of Co. A,
1O1st U. S. Engineers. He went across
in September, 1917, and until his re-
turn, last April, he was in the zone
OF advance, spending fifty-fve days
in the trenches.
He gives graphic account of what
our boys are doing to help win the
war. He will speak of the things he
saw and did. He is one of the fifty
veterans, who were sent back to this
country by Gen. Pershing to tell the
American people the inside facts about
the great struggle for freedom.
Baptised with the fire of German
guns, clear-eyed with the "look of
Eagles" which comes to men only
who have been to war, quietly and
modestly assuming, even about the bit
OF ribbon which means wars highest
honors for bravery, Private Nicholson
is making tour of the country under
orders of the war department.
He comes under the auspices of the
Wisconsin Loyalty Legion, and the
meeting is being arranged for by the
Wausau Chapter of that body.

MAKES IT'S DECISION

The State Railroad Commission has
at last rendered it's decision in the
matter of whether the street cars of
the Wisconsin Valley Electric company
shall be stopped to take on or let off
passengers in front of the Eau Claire
Villa or 300 feet south of that boating
resort. 1t decided in favor of the
latter.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric Co.,
up to 1916, stopped its cars in front of
the Villa both summer and winter:
Gray street, on which there are a num-
Der of homes, runs directly west from
in front of the Villa, and I contend
that the street cars should stop at Gray
street, where 10 of its patrons will be
accommodated to /, 300 feet below
where cars are now stopped. Those
who have watched the progress of the
proceedings from the beginning. feel
that it is an unjust discrimination as
it now stands. 1t certainly does not
accommodate the hundreds of people
who visit the Villa every warm, pleas
ant day in summer.
There are a great many angles TO
this controversy which the public do
not understand. l desire at this time
to extend my sincere thanks for the
patronage accorded me in the past and
shall appreciate a continuance of the
same in the future, and will endeavor
to make it so pleasant for all, that the
annoyance of being carried beyond
their destination will be forgotten.

GREAT AUCTION SALE
FOR THE RED CROSS
Thousands of Articles Given by Our
People Sold and Nice
Sum Realized

Last Saturday evening was the oc-
casion of the auction sale for the Red
Cross, and it was certainly the liveli-
est event ever held in Wausau. Scott
street was roped across at Third and
also at Fourth, leaving a space from
the North side of Scott to the Court
House for auctioneers and the buyers.
Thousands of people turned out and
there were six platforms, where the
auctioneers sold the goods. At these
platforms were:
L. H. Wheeler, G. K Gooding, Frank
Timlin, H. E. Smith.
NJ. G. Bells, Oran Liljeqvist, Louis
Kretlow.
j. A. Sullivan, o. Belanger, 2. Speer,
V. Atherton
A. w. Trevitt, E. C. Dawley, A. M.
VanDuser.
G. N. Phillips, H. E. Schiller, VIM.
Anderson.
G. R. Bennett, M. M. Scholfield, w.
E. lille.
This sale was to have been held on
Saturday the 25th, but on account of
the rain, very little selling was done
and it was postponed until the even
ing of Memorial day. The evening
was in every way favorable and from
1880 until IL o'clock the sale was kept
up with all the speed ina ginable, I'M
til everything was sold. Everything
from candy to horses were sold. The
amount realized was $1,533.57.
ECHOES FROM THE AUCTION
The auctioneers were not slow in
suggesting that certain patrons of their
booths return the article won, so that
it might be put up again. A little
disappointing for the winner but fine
for the Red Cross.
George Washington's CRADLE" went
for generous sum.
The band encouraged the spending
spirit When some thought they had
reached the limit of their purses, the
band would strike up some patriotic
air, reminding every one of the boys
over there" and they all dug" again.
One man is now the possessor of
four gold watches. Lots of timei
One woman won a bag of -four,
which as she could not carry it home
was missing for day or two. But
she finally located it with the help of
the promoters of the auction.
One little girl bought twelve chances
on a pound box of candy before get
ting satisfactory results. "Persistency
thou art jewell
A neat travelling bag went for a
goOdly sum at one of the booths.
Later it was discovered that it be-
longed to one of the auctioneers, who
had used it to carry tickets from head
quarters to the grounds. When he
came to get it to go home, it was gone.
But it's all for the Red Cross.
Among the donations was a pig
donated by William Albrecht, Jr.,
which brought the nice sum of $4,000,
d. G. Everest being the purchaser.
Saturday evening the pony and a
large stallion were auctioneered off
and the latter was secured by a man
from Waukesha. The Shetland pony
is now owned by John He'll of the
town of Flieth. Roth horses brought
the Red Cross, 1925.

returning home with others from the
Monday Evening Five Hundred club
which met at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Dreyer, Mr.. Green met
with a very painful accident, and one

and on the west end near the ice
house, Mr.. Green stepped aside to let

step right after that, and fell down
the high embankment, about fifteen
feet. At the bottom of the embank-
ment are some stones, and it is
thought he probably fell onto them,
He was picked up and hurried back
to the Dreyer home, and it was found
that he had received gashes in his
head, which required several stitches,
and that he had also injured his back
A doctor was Immediately summoned
and fixed him up for the remainder
of the night, and this morning he was
taken to the Wausau hospital. This
noon he was reported as resting COM
fortably. Mr.. Green was fortunate in
escaping without more serious injury.

WAUSAU WOMEN VOLUNTEER
ING FOR OVERSEE SERVICE

1t has been known and noticeable
ever since the United States declared
war with Germany, that the women of
this country took an active part in
the various activities coming up from
time to time because of the situation,
but it has not been made known to
many that fourteen of our local wo-
men have filed applications with H. H.
Davis, secretary of the Y. M. c. A.
here, for Y M. G. A. work, near the
trenches. Two of the ladies out of
this number have offered to pay their
own expenses if they can be permitted
to enter into this work, somewhere
in France" Mr.. Davies has written
to headquarters at New York to find
out whether the services of our Ameri-
can women are wanted abroad for this
work, and word has come back that
applications from women would be
considered only if the applicant was
between thirty and forty-fve years of
age, and providing they were willing
to pay most of their expenses.

Sour Stomach

This is mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating
too rapidly or too much, or of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
If you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour stom-
ach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain Tablets
to aid digestion.
