Disarmament Unachieved.

There is no mystery in Mr.. Wilson'S
message to Congress advocating 4
naval appropriation. but it is simply
a record of the fact that disarmament
is unachieved, and America cannot
anord to pause until absolute inter-
national agreement has been actually
reached regarding armament. On the
other hand. when the time comes to
disarm the nation which will have
small force will not demand as much
attention as the country possessing

which was fundamentally recognized
by the nations themselves, namely the
process must be gradual to be effec-

Therefore, sthe league of nations,
which when completed will be the
most remarkable advance the world
has yet made toward averting war,
will be embraced here as the first
step of the new international order
but none of the conferrees with whom
I talked today gave the impression
that they will consider their work
complete with this peace treaty.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
SHOW NO HASTE

That no action on the organization
of Marathon county society of
world war veterans is to be taken un-
til after a state society has been per-
fected April z, was the sense of a
meeting held in the court house last
Wednesday night. Forty returned SOL
diers and sailors attended. There
were few who expressed desire to
organize hastily, disregarding possible
action at Madison.
A committee of five, appointed by
the chairman, Patrick T. Stone, will
report on a proposed constitution at
the next meeting, which is to be called
at the discretion of the chair. Louis
A. Pradt, Jr., Norton Kelly, Roman
Deutsch, D. S. Burnett and Jack Burt,
were appointed on this committee.
The question of dues was raised and
a motion to assess a dollar as an in
itiation fee and twenty-five cents a
month was lost. Veterans of all wars
will be permitted membership and the
organization will not restrict itself to
Marathon county, according to a vote.

At Madison last week Gov. E. l..
Philip addressed meeting of forty
engineers, particularly regarding the
drainage laws Of Wisconsin. Over
100000 acres, it was stated, could be
reclaimed for agricultural use were
the state only able to use the proper
method in draining it. That this
would make desirable farming land
was the general opinion, though it was
urged that an investigation of soil
in various areas be made. The Iegis-
lature will be urged by engineers to
pass more efficient drainage law.

BUTTER FACTORY LOCATES
IN WAUSAU
kielsmeier Co. Men Visit City, and
Obtain Temporary Build;ng-W Whey
To Be Utilized

A whey butter factory will soon
commence operations in Wausau
President Otto A KieIsmeier, vice
president, Arthur P ZeIm and Adolph
Valleskey, field manager, of the Kiels-
meier company, manufacturers and
distributors of butter, cheese and ice
cream, of Manitowoc, visited Wausau
Wednesday. Through the aid of the
Wausau Chamber of Commerce they
were enabled to obtain a building at
oil Forest street, for temporary use
as factory.
Whey Butter Good Product
Whey butter is made from whey OBJ
tanned from cheese factories It is
exactly as good as butter made from
pure cream. The product used in it's
making has been of no practical use
until recently, when it was discovered
that much butter fat remained in the
whey, after the substance for cheese
had been taken from it.
The concern is capitalized for
S15O,0OO, this amount soon TO be in
creased according to members of the
company. At the start the Wausau
factory will employ five persons, this
number, it is expected, to be increased
as soon as the business is successfully
running.
Shipping Station Established
Shipping stations have been estab-
lished at Grand Rapids and Merrill
already and others will be arranged
shortly. Cheese factories constituting
the source of supply, the area from
which whey will be obtained is large.
1t will extend to Shawano, north to
Rhinelander and west to Marshfeld.
Factories of this concern are located
at the present time in Manitowoc,
Milwaukee, Owen, AlVerno
and Loyal. According to W. r. ChelIis,
secretary of the chamber of commerce,
the company is composed of sound
business men and the location of a
factory of this nature in Wausau is
most desirable. A manager for Wau-
sau has not as yet been engaged,
though several are being considered, it
is understood.
