AUGUST KICKBUSCH GROCERY co.
MOVES INTO MORE MODERN
QUARTERS

The August Kickbusch Grocery Co.,
wholesale grocerS, have moved into
their spic and span new quarters at
All Washington street, and now have
one of the finest and best equipped
suit of offices in the state, for the more
convenient and practical transaction
of the large and constantly increasing
business of this successful and enter
prising firm. Not alone for the COM
fort and convenience of this progress
sive firm but for their faithful and
competent employees as well.
The different departments are par
titioned off in native red birch finish
ing lumber and plate glass, maple
flooring, tiled hall way and large
plate glass front which affords splen-
did light for the occupants. The fur
niture and furnishings are Of the latest
and best, including large steam
heated and well ventilated lobby, and
large concrete and steel vault for
the safety of their books and valuable

tion room, managers room, the pres
ident's private office, a shipping room,
treasurer's room, accountants room
and commodious store room OH the
second floor Thirty employees are

Germ.
The founding of this establishment
in this city was conceived in the mind
of the late August Kickbusch, one Of
the early pioneers of Wausau, and a
large sized crayon likeness, framed
and draped in the American colors,
hangs suspended on one of the walls
of the managers room and is mute
testimonial Of this statement. The
business since then has been handed
down to his son, Robert Kickbusch,
and his son, August, to whom deserved
credit is respectively due for the in
creased success of this large and well
established mercantile concern.
A walk through the entire establish
ment will convince the most skeptical
'the truth and the whole truth of the
above article.

DO NOT ALLOW IT

Last Tuesday afternoon, Grace, the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. D.
Earle, fell from a sleigh on which
she was riding and one of the runners
passed over her body, fracturing a
rib. There is great deal of catch
ing onto sleighs by the children these
days, and it is a wonder that more
injuries are not reported.
This has been a source of great
trouble in the past, when. sleighs were
more in evidence, and there have been
many injuries and some deaths which
have occurred every winter. The Pilot
can only publish the oft repeated
warning, caution your children not to
jump onto passing sleighs.''

Stomach Troubles

If you have trouble with your stom-
ach you should try Chamberlain S
Tablets. So many have been restored
to health by the use of these tablets
and their cost is so little, 25 cents,
that it is worth while to give them a
trial.

Supt, BIume to Remain

The people of Oakes are congratu.
lating themselves and the board OF
education in being able to retain tho
services of Supt. c. e. Blume of our
public schools. Supt. Blume had full
filled his three-year contract with the
board and at their February meeting
had handed in his resignation. The
board tried in every way to retain
him, but it was the superintendents
ambition to take a post graduate
course and fit himself for higher work.
1t was quite relief this last week
to learn that the board had prevailed
on Mr. Blume to remain for three more
years. The salary is consido-"s'n
higher than Oakes has been in the
habit of paying, but at the average
salary per annum of $4,000 there is
genuine satisfaction. This is a sacri-
flee on Mr.. Blume's part that is appre.
ciated by the Oakes people. After
signing the former contract he turned
down proposition that would have
paid $4,000 per annum. In being able
to retain him for the Cakes schools
the board of education made ten
strike.

SYNOPSIS OF HIGH SCHOOL
GLASS PLAY FOR FEB. 22nd.

Preparations for the fifth annual
operetta are progressing nicely The
finishing touches are now being put on
that all may be in readiness for the
final presentation on Washington's
Birthday at the opera house. The
name of the operetta to be presented
this year. is: A DREAM OF FAIRY
LAND. A synopsis follows:
Two orphans, dressed in ragged
clothes are on their way to fairyland.
They lie down to sleep on the ground
and soon their dreams begin.
They believe they awake in Fairy
land with beautiful, good fairies sur
rounding them. Their own garments
have been changed and they are told
that they, too, are now good fairies.
All are very happy and join together
in dance of Joy.
Soon a group of evil fairies troops
down upon the little company. The
good fairies tell the orphans of the
wicked designs of the evil ones and
succeed in keeping the newcomers
with them for a while. The angels,
also, warn the two children not to
leave the good fairies. Before, long,
however, by their brilliant promises
of a wonderfully happy life the evil
fairies succeed in making the orphans
leave the fairies who have shown them
so much love, and come with them.
The first act closes with the orphans
yielding to the evil fairies, who trium-
phantly lead the newcomers off with
them.
The second act begins with the good
fairies in deep sorrow over the loss
of the two orphans to the evil band.
They decide to follow the evil ones
and see if they can recover the little
wanderers. At this same time the
orphans have been deserted by the
evil fairies. They had led the little
ones astray and then cast them off.
The good fairies find the two in hid
ing and wishing they dared return.
They are forgiven and heartily well
coined back again. In the midst of
rejoicing the evil fairies again appear.
They say that they have never been
really happy in their evil ways and
ask to join the band of the good fair
les. Their request is granted and all
slip away. The little orphans are
seen once more just waking from their
sleep and dream of fairyland."

1he Red Gross Needs Money

The Cakes Volunteer Fire Depart
ment voted s25 as present to the
Red Cross and check for the amount
was handed the local chairman this
morning. This is highly appreciated.
1t might be said in this connection
that the great interest taken in work
ing materials needed by the Red Cross
makes the money demand heavy. A
call has been sent out by Chairman
Graham of the County Chapter tellin"
of the almost depletion of the treasury.
The sums raised in the athletic exhi-
billions has been held to meet local
needs but that too is about ex-
hausted. Individual offerings will be
thankfully received at this time. Fol
the nice lead made our fire ladies
and keep the nimble and willing fing-
ers moving. The different churches
and lodges of the city could maybe
spare little Of their funds at this
time.

FREIGHT TRAINS
IN COLLISION
500 ENGINE BUMPS FREIGHT ON
N. w.
500 Engine DeraiIed and Two FREIGHT
Cars and Bunk Car OFF Track on
N. Who One Seriously Hurt

A side-on collision came between
the 500 and Northwestern freights
last evening at the crossing in Oakes.
The accident occurred about five
o'clock. The Northwestern freight
was pulling into the city. when the
500 engine, to which was attached two
freight cars, bumped into the rear
cars of freight on the NJ W. cars Of
cars of freight on the N. w. Two of
the N. w. cars of freight were turned
on their side and the bunk car just
ahead of the coach was partly derailed
but not upset. Three carpenters were
in this bunk car and one of the men
had his nose broken. The collision
would have bumped into the coach of
the N. w. had it only come a few Sec
onds later.
1t was the west bound 500. The
engineer was eating dinner and the
conductor and fireman undertook to
do some switching in the 500 yards.
The approaching train from the south
was not noticed until too late. The
500 engine was derailed but kept on
it's "feet.'
Traffic on both roads is held up
while the track is being repaired. A
wrecker arrived in the night from En-
derlin and is getting things in shape
for resume of traffic. The 500 east
passenger of last night is on the Y
waiting to have the track cleared.
The collision will cost better than
$4,000.

that he had just received word from
Washington to this effect The field
work was completed two years ago by
Mr.. Hard and the report and maps of
the two counties filed with the govern
ment ready for publication. But for
war work the geological map should
have been in the hands of citizens long
ago. II is Il matter Of keen regret to
Mr.. Hard that the publication should
thus be delayed.
The maps are to be of special value
in connection with the artesian water
supply. gravel and concrete materials,
soils and the historical side OF the or.
lgln OF the features and formations of
the Dickey county prairies and of the
James river valley. Until the govern.

COUNTY AGENT RICHARDS
RESIGNS POSITION HERE

AT meeting of the board of direc.
tors of the Dickey County Farm
Bureau, keld at the Office of the Farm
ing agent in the court house last
week. Better Farming Agent w B.
Richards rendered his resignation as
agent for Dickey county, which was
reluctantly accepted by the board.
Mr.. Richards returned just shortly
from Fargo where he had been assist
ing in relieving the congestion in the
office of the extention department of
agriculture. caused by the resignation
of Director Thomas Cooper and the
unprecedented demand for better
farming men all over the state. While
at Fargo Mr.. Richards was offered
position as agent in Cass county at
an advanced salary, and this, together
with the fact that Fargo is, in a way
home" to MIR. Richards. since he owns
property there, is the reason for his
making the change.
Mr.. A. J.. Norling, who has been
county agent in Grant county, Mime
'o't1, ioi IsC yCttiS, WIS pieSeIlI dl tuC
meeting last week, and while not a
candidate for the Dickey county posi-
ton, will be considered by the direc.
tors, who will fill the vacancy caused
by Mr.. Richards resignation shortly.
The Farming Bureau, organized
last year for term of three years,
and supported by funds raised from
the members, will so on as usual, the
only chance being in the person of
county agent. The county commits
sioners have been asked to reconsider
their action of a year ago, when they
voted to withdraw county support of
the better farming work, but what
their decision will be problematical.
The work of the bureau during the
past year has been very successful
and satisfactory TO the directors and
members, and a continuation of the
same high standard is expected the
coming year. The loss of Mr.. Rich
ards, who thoroughly understood local
conditions, will be felt, but it is hoped
that his place may be satisfactorily
filed

The National Lutheran Commission
for Soldiers and Sailors Welfare, with
headquarters in New York city, will
begin great drive next Monday, hav-
ing for it's purpose the raising of the
enormous sum of $750OOO for war
time service. The campaign will be

now being perfected. r. A. Nestos of
Minot has been appointed state chair.
man, and he has appointed ] B. Gron-
beck as the chairman for this county,

munities. Local chairmen will organ
ize sufficient teams to canvass every
Lutheran in the locality. The canvass
is strictly congregational one and

now and the start of the drive, this
matter is to be brought before the
congregation, the men. women, chill
dren and the Sunday School. Leaders
declare that it is necessary for what
