TO IMPROVE FAIR
GROUNDS
BUILDING A LARGE SAM

TOILET
Four Townships Already Apply For
ExhibitiOn-Few Spaces Remain

pair the Grandstand

"Plans for the 1919 Marathon
county fair are progressing in great
shape" Louis Cook, secretary, told
a Pilot reporter following a meeting
of the directors held last week. "The
outlook never looked better. There
are only few remaining spaces for
exhibitions to be disposed of in the
Exposition Hall at $40 a space-up-
to-date the manufacturers and mer-
chants have been seizing them rapid
ly"
Use East Entrance
The northern entrance to the quar-
ter stretch, used for automobiles has
always been. source of nuisance to
the many families and their children
who come from the pike and who are
walking along the fence surrounding
the race track. Automobiles coming
through there in many cases come
close to hitting children and in every
way it has been considered a dan
gerous entrance. Mr. Cook states
that this year use will be made of
the East entrance to the quarter
stretch. Instead of being permitted
to go straight down to the northern
entrance, cars will be turned and
will go around the track. That this
will eliminate an undesirable feature
is the belief of the directors.
Cars will also be excluded from the
grounds Immediately surrounding the
exposition building as they have also
a parking place will be provided. All
hn iol,t
jubilee and exposition in the central
building are to be left intact for use
during the fair. These arrangements
will avoid much confusion.
Build Toilet
A modern and sanitary toilet, six
teen by thirty feet, will be built be-
fore the fair several hundred feet
north of the Exposition Hall, bids al
ready having been called for. The
building will be of concrete. Ar
have been made to run a
sewer to the grounds this summer.
Perhaps no improvement has been
more badly needed.
There is little doubt but that there
will be an elaborate display of grains,
grasses and other crops" Mr.. Cook
declares. ''They have never looked
finer and from all over the county
farmers are signifying their intention
of exhibiting this year. Four town
ships have already made application
to enter the township exhibits, and
from word l have received there will
be seven and possibly eight townships
in the end. The agricultural asso-
citation is having the east wing of
Exposition Hall repaired, as well as
the grandstand. The pike will be wild
ened to accommodate larger crowds
than in the past. Six more feet will
be added to its present width"
The premium list, just recently COM
pleted, was mailed to farmers, citi-
zens and exhibitors last Friday

LOAN STATEMENT
LAST LOAN SUBSCRIBED
TO MOST SATISFAC-
TORiLY IN COUNTY

Thirteen per cent of Marathon
county's 55,O54 residents oversub-
scribed the county's quota in the fifth
OF victory liberty loan eight per cent.
The bond department of the Seventh
Federal Reserve bank of Chicago, for
warded a statement to this effect to
the Marathon county and Wausau
committees last week.
The quota, determined on the basis
of the above mentioned population,
was placed at $1,595,S00. A net total
subscription of 81 ,702, 900 has been re-
corded, which means per capita sub
scription of S30.93 as against the
quota of $2S62 The number of per-
sons III the county and city subscrib-
ing was 6,997. The majority of the
bond holders purchased their bonds
through the eighteen banks of the
county. Five companies purchased
SIT ,029 worth of bands, which pur-
chase was credited to the county. The
amount of $4,000 was subscribed by
220 employees Of the three railroads
operating in Marathon county.
No Derelict
The city of Wausau and Marathon
county during the war did all in their
power to aid in its victory. In no
campaign did the citizens fail to do
what was expected of them. At times
the shedding was rough-in no part
of the county did liberty loan solic-
itors find their work like falling off
a log" Their patriotic purpose met
with response and the number of per-
sons subscribing is adequate proof of
the democratic distribution of the
bonds throughout this district Many
who had purchased bonds in previous
loans did not buy them in the Victory
campaign and for the likely reason
that they were still paying for those
purchased earlier; but others readily
assumed the task of buying and pay
ing for the last issue. And so while
this report shows thirteen per cent of
the population having bought bonds
in this campaign, the percentage of
persons in the county holding bonds
is much higher. Criticism abroad of
this city, the county and it's people
is not warranted; perhaps if others
will stop to peruse their own war rec
OTds they may find them not as favor
able as can be shown in black and
white in Marathon county.
The final appeal was well met
and the citizens of the largest and one
of the foremost and progressive agri-
cultural counties in the state feel
proud of it; also, they stand ready to
do more to settle up the final ac-
count if that becomes a necessity.

WHAT DOES TIT

Trempealeau county farmers are
puzzled by the killing of more than a
score of sheep. Helmer Paulson of
Melvina found six of his animals dead
in the field one morning with a hole
the size of a dime below the ear in
the jugular vein. They had bled to
death. Two of his neighbors had
lost fourteen sheep. 1t is believed
some animal is committing the depre-
dations. The carcasses are not torn
or eaten by the killer.-Shawano
Journal.
