SITE IS CHOSEN
FOR Community
CHRISTMAS TREE
Committee In Charge Select Intersec-
ton of North First and Madison
Streets As Most Suitable.
Place.

The committee having in charge
the work of arranging for the COM
munity Christmas tree, decided at a
meeting held for that purpose to hold
the exercises at the intersection of
North First and Madison streets. The
site is desirable as adjacent to it is
the city hall, the Elks club room and
the Otto hotel dining room, which
can be used to take care of the little
folks in case of inclement weather.
allowing old and young to warm up if
necessary during the exercises. The
tree will be lighted every evening
during the holiday week and the
announcement of the opening exercis-
es on Christmas eve will be made by
the ringing of the church bells in the
city. Mayor Charles Mulberger will
have the honor of lighting the tree,
which will be done by electricity.
The committee in charge of this
work consists of George Richards, G.
H. Lehrkind and Joseph Raue.
The cost Of the tree and accessories
will be considerably more than the
aIuouuI appropriately, 9lUU, despite
concessions made by the Wisconsin
Gas and Electric company and the Of
fer of the Barker Lumber company to
furnish the lumber necessary for the
platform, free of cost. With this in
mind "The Brighter Christmas Club"
was organized with an initiation fee
OF one dollar, payable to w. A. Beur-
haus, treasurer. When total of 16S
members have signed, the fact will be
made public and additions to the club
received sufficient to cover the cost.
A prompt and hearty response is ex-
pected from the public by the COM
mittee.
The exercises will begin on Christ
mas eve at 4:30 and will continue I'M
til o'clock, and as it is the first time
in the history of Watertown that such
an innovation was made, all our peo-
pie are asked to be present and make
the occasion memorable one

err. The schools, movies, bowling al
leys billiard rooms and theatres had
been closed tight for the past two
weeks, but the churches were allowed
to hold short services the past two
Sundays. Shorter hours were MAIN
tanned in the saloons.
But now the people will go back to
the old order before the arrival of the
human scourge known as Spanish in
f1uenza. But people should use great
caution so as not to expose anyone to
the disease. Persons who have colds
and are addicted to sneezing should
keep away from other people. If you
are sick, stay at home until you re-
cover and be subject to quarantine.
Do not visit back and forth where the
sickness is, and by all means do not
expose other people. A stitch in time,
etc. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure.

PLAN TO WELCOME
RETURNING BOYS ON
MEMORIAL DAY
Suggestion Is Made To Hold Open
Air Exercises In Park After
Paying Tribute To Men Who
Died For Country.

A suggestion has been made to de-
fer the public welcome of the SOL
diers returning from overseas and
camps until Memorial day, when it is
believed that most of the men in the
service will have been returned to
their homes. 1t is pointed out that
the weather at that time of the year
is fine and out of door exercises could
be held in Riverside park after the
regular Memorial day services have
been held at which tribute is paid to
the men who gave up their lives for
their country. During the winter
months a public welcome would of
necessity be held indoors as the
weather conditions would not permit
an outdoor assemblage in which all
citizens could join.
Memorial day will be observed on
May 30, when the daylight will last
until well into the evening hours and
which would allow ample opportunity
to carry out a fine program, including,
if not against the spirit of the occa-
sion, repast for the soldier boys
served in barbecue style. Riverside
park is commodious enough for such
an occasion where all can meet to
give hearty welcome to tn returning
soldiers.
Chairman H. Wertheimer of the
committee having inc barge the well
coming of returning soldiers, says
that Memorial day may possibly be
selected, but that so far the commit
tee had not considered the matter as
it was pretty early. He stated that
Memorial day would probably be the
proper day as at that time most of
the Watertown boys would be home
from across the seas and all of them
from the camps in the United States.

State Board Advises.

The lifting of the ban was COM
mended by the state board of health
and the quarantining of the person
afflicted was also commended It was
pointed out by Secretary Harper that
the placing of the ban drew the atten-
ton of the public to the seriousness Of
the situation as nothing else could and
the public therefore is in a better
mood to see that necessary precau-
lions are taken and observed. By
quarantining the sick person and
Keeping members of the family at
home who are not wage earners the
danger from the disease by contact
will be greatly lessened. The number
OF new cases has been steadily de-
creasing for the past week.
The order is in effect now.
