highSchOol gymnasium. One at 2 100 p.
m. at which the gymnasium will be re-
served for the exclusive use of the
| farmers and their families. The even
| ing meeting will be held at Z 100 p. m.

| the Ladysmith concert band, Lady
smiths Home Guard company of 75
men, who were mustered into the SER
| vice Wednesday evening, the Boy

| automobiles.

well as the old ones will be sung.

! Minute men will have speeches espe-
cially prepared for both the afternoon

Canadian Officer Principal Speaker
The principal speaker at each meet
ing will be an officer of the Canadian
/ .uSl ICCNully IClulhCu iloili thS
trenches, Lieutenant Bruce King. The
Liberty Loan committee succeeded in
securing the services of Lieutenant
King for Sunday under great diff.
Guilty and competition and the people
of this vicinity are indeed to be con-
graduated for the privilege of hearing
plain facts of the war from one who
has been in the service for two years
and i'm the trenches for nine months.
Lieutenant King was first assigned to
Ladysmith for Friday evening, but as
this would not give the farmers an
opportunity to hear him the wires were
kept hot until this date was changed TO
Sunday.
i Lieutenant King is one Of the sur
vivors of Vimy Ridge, one of the
greatest battles of the war in which the
Canadian forces so bravely distin-
guished themselves. He will have a
great message for the people of Rusk
county and no doubt will draw crowds
that will tax the capacity of the gym
nasium. "s
NJ G.. Martin, manager OF the
Unique theater, has wired in and can
celled the films booked for Sunday, so

LIEUT.. HERBERT RIEBE
OF ROCHESTER,. MINI.
Nephew Of Mr.. and Mrs. B. e. Riebe
of this City, Home After Eleven
Months i'm the War Zone

Lieut.. Commander Herbert Riebe,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Riebe, of
Rochester, Mimi, and a nephew of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. e. Riebe of Wausau,
was at home on a short leave of alb
sence, after spending eleven months
in the war zone, as commander of
one of the submarine chasers which
convoy American transports to Europe.
The boat of which Mr.. Riebe is COM
mander conveyed IT'S transports to
France.
Lieut.. Riebe stated that there are
many more Sammies in France than
generally believed, and the German
submarine is failure. He went on
saying that the Germans have sunk
ships, but most of them were of
minor Importance, and that they have
not done enough to affect the trans
porting of American troops to France.
The Germans have also laid hundreds
of mines in the harbors, but most of
these were exploded before they ever
came In contact with an allied ship.
Lieut.. Riebe was ordered to take
command of the first sub-chasers to
reach French waters, and he had
many exciting experiences to relate.
After getting to France, his boat was
ordered to watch for submarines, and
as this was at the time the Germans
were working hard undersea, it was
an exceedingly perilous and difficult
task. When this country began send
ing troops to France, the boat was put
into the convoy service. Lieut.. Riebe
said, Life on a submarine chaser is
nothing easy"
He came to New York short while
ago on an empty transport, and was
fortunate enough to get short leave
to visit his people at Rochester. He
departed again last Friday for the
East, and by this time is probably
out on the rolling Deep" again.

RED CROSS

The workers in the Red Cross
rooms are as busy as usual, and
it is worth while to make that place
a visit, in order to get any kind of an
idea of what these noble women are
turning out for. the care and comfort
of our soldier and sailor boys.
Boxes of finished articles are con-
tinually going into the headquarters
from some Marathon county branch
of the local Red Cross, and the work
ers here in turn pack more with these
boxes and send them to the Central
Division. This has been the program
the county and a great many boxes of
finished necessities have been sent
away.
The Athens and Ringle branches
sent in a box of hospital garments
and knitted goods Thursday.
Two knitting machines are now in
steady use at the work rooms here,
c. G. Yawkey having donated another
which has just been put into opera
ton.
The work on the new quota of
sweaters for Marathon county, num-
bering seven hundred, is well under
way. Yarn has been given out to
the various branches and auxiliaries
throughout the county, and many in
dividuals have called for yarn. There
is now no question, but that Mara
thon chapter will have it's sweater
quota ready at the time specified for
this work.

ORGANIZATION OF CIVILIAN RE,
LIEF BEING SHAPED IN
THIS COUNTY

The Home Service or Civilian Re-
lief department of the Marathon coun-
ty Red Cross chapter is progressing
in organization in this city, and at
a meeting held last Friday afternoon,
Charles Stillman of Chicago, associa-
ton director of the Civilian Relief
Bureau of the Red Cross, was present
and explained the dire necessity of
such a department of the Red Cross
in every community at this time. He
stated that even though the war
should end in a few days, it would
still mean that the Civilian Relief
would continue it's work in the care
of families and lettering of home con-
ditions for a long time to come.
e. p. German, who has been acting
as chairman for the Civilian Relief
committee here, also reported that
numerous letters are received by him
daily asking aid or information about
soldiers families in this county.
Mr.. Stillman further stated that the
business of this war activity is to
give accurate and definite informa-
ton, the providing of money, and the
rendering of general service. 1t was
decided that the local committee on
Civilian Relief include seven members
with headquarters in the Anderson
building on Jefferson street. A secre-
tary will take charge of the field
work of this department, who will
be assisted by a paid clerical helper
to look after the correspondence etc.
The following are members of the
committee: E. P. German, chairman,
Mrs. D. j. Williams, Mrs. c. A. Bar
wig, Miss Marie Bird, w. E. Hudtloff,
DR.. R. w. Jones and Judge F. E.
Bump. The secretary or field worker,
should be carefully appointed, and
the position should be held by a per-
son, who has had some experience
and training and aptitude for social
work.
