STATE GUARDS GO
TO CAMP
co. C, AND TENTH INF.
BAND TO BE AT CAMP
DOUGLAS A WEEK

Co. G., and the Tenth Infantry Band
of the Wisconsin State Guard, left
Saturday morning at 800 on the
Northwestern for Camp Douglas,
where a week is to be spent. A pro-
gram that is full of activity and athle-
tics has been arranged. The company
was headed by its captain, Fred R.
Becker, and its other officers, Thomas
H. Ryan, LIST lieutenant, and Judd ID.
Alexander, second lieutenant, also &C
companied it. Lit. F. G. Dana, the
highest ranking state guard bandmas-
ter in the state, was unable to at
tend the camp, being too ill. Thirty
nine members of the Tenth Infantry
band went to camp.
All Attend
With the exception of but three or
four the entire companys personnel,
as published in the Pilot two weeks
ago, left Saturday. Several of the
members, delayed by urgent business,
went down Saturday evening, Sunday
and Monday The record of attend
ance will be exceptional. The organ
izations were accompanied by Major
Frank L. Gottschalk, who is to take
VI Tic IOSlAiChL III
commanded by Col. Yawkey, Adjutant
A P. Woodson and P. V. o. Van
Vechten, color bearer.
Among the other organizations
which were picked up on the way to
camp were Co. | of Neillsville, Co. L,
of Menominee, Cos. A and B of Su-
perior, Co. H, of Ladysmitb, Co. F, of
Eau Claire, and the 18th Separate Co.,
of Spooner. Several trains were made
into one along the line. Dinner was
served the guardsmen at Mcmillan
Jet, and the camp was reached the
middle of the afternoon.
At Neillsville the Tenth Infantry
Band, responding to a request re-
ceived by Drum Sergeant w. l. La
Certe, played. The local organization,
it is felt, is equal to the best of the
state guard companies. For two
months past Capt Becker has kept
the men hard at work on two drill
evenings each week.

Andrew Carnegie was man born
among poor people. He was raised
among them, and later, he worked and
saved with them. He will stand as an
example of what will, energy and in
itiative can accomplish. He did not
selfshly retain the immense material
wealth that became his after he had
worked hard and early in life, but
with it endeavored to afford others an
opportunity to learn. The Wausau
Public Library stands as a monument
to the philanthropic work of Andrew
Carnegie. 1t is one of thousands,
which his money made possible. His
gift to the local institution amounted
to 100000.

new SLEIGH BRAKE
EMIL HACKBARTH, OREGON
RETURNS TO CITY TO
MAKE INVENTION

Emil Hackbarth of Enterprise, Ore,
a former Marathon county man, ed
ucated here and more recently lum-
herman of the western country, ar
rived in Wausau, Sunday, accompan-
led by his wife and children, Verna
and Raymond, motoring from the
west. Mr.. Hackbarth recently invent
ed sleigh brake, the equal of which,
it is declared by those who have seen
the invention, has never been placed
on the market Sixteen years ago, he
left this county for the west, where
he sought greater opportunities, but
friends say he never gave up the idea
of returning to his old home.
Still a Wausau booster, who has
made good elsewhere, Mr. Hackbarth
plans now to reside in the city for
quite a time. He will complete ar
rangements this week, it is expected,
to have the sleigh brake manufactured
in large numbers by local concern,
following which he will sell them
from Wausau. The brake works eff
GENTLY on a sleigh and does not scrape
or tear up the road bed as so many
now ON the market do. That a ire
mendous sale should be developed
throughout the states In which there
is sleighing, is the belief of many
men who have seen the product. Mr..
Hackbarth emphasized the invention
as a "Wausau Product" every place
he stopped while enroute to the city
from Oregon. While in the west he
had much opportunity to test his in
vention and in every emergency it has
weathered the trial.
The concerns name according to
Mr.. Hackbarth. will be the Automatic
Sleigh Brake Co.
Description
1.-THE brakes manufactured and dis
tributed by this company represent at
once a new invention and a device
| that has been tried out in actual op-
GRAFTON under all the varying condi-
tions met in sleighing," says the
pamphlet issued by the company.
"As implied by it's name, the brake
is automatic, and is so arranged that
| at all times when the pull of the team
is not on the load, the brakes are in
operation. When the tugs are slack
| the brakes are on, and remain on
until the tugs are frightened. The de-
VICE Vi Tie uTdk0S Call D6 attached &c
any sleigh, and the brakes work the
same, automatically and whenever tbs
grade of the road Is down hill, nc
matter the size or shape of the load
| Thus being able to brake a sleigh load
| of hay as easy as a compact load
| adds to sleighing a safety that has
never before been accomplished. Nc
force. other than the weight Of the
team itself, is required to operate the
brakes and small boy can as easily
and safely take heavy load down &
steep hill on a sleigh equipped with
these brakes as can the strongest
man. Any load that can be hauled
up a hill by a team can be taker
down sleeper hill by the same team
with the greatest safety. These as
| sertions are all facts that have beer
proven by actual use and demonstra
ton of the brakes. The operation O.
the brakes is economical, as the only
wearing part of the brakes are the
bits which engage the road bed, anC
the brake is so constructed that these
bits may be easily removed, and re
placement made at small cost"

A Travelling Mans Experience

You may learn something from the
following by w. H. Ireland, a travel
ing salesman of Louisville, Ky. "In
the summer of 1888 had a severe at
tack of cholera morbus. l gave the
hotel porter fifty cents and told him
to buy me bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy and to
take no substitute / took a double
dose of it according to the directions
and went to sleep. At five o'clock
the next morning 1 was called by
my order and took a train for my
next stopping place, a we'll man."

The first member of the organ

was PHILIPPE Baucq, whose arrest
was Simultaneous with that of
Edith Cavell, the English nurse
whose execution by Germans sent
thrill of horror throughout the
world. Baucq was shot on Oct y,
1915, with the brave English nurse.
Miss Cavell, however, was never
charged by the Germans with es-
pionage, but with aiding Belgians
and others to escape from Belgium.
Baucq was succeeded as Buyls
right-hand man by another man
man named Dubois. On June /,
1916, Dubois, with 60 others, was
arrested and imprisoned at Has
self. The Germans boasted that
they had smashed the Belgian or
ganization which had evaded them
for two years. Dubois and three
others were shot on Sept 25. 1916,
and sentences aggregating 200
years were imposed upon others
accused of acting with them.
Both Baucq and Dubois knew
that Buyl was head of the organic
alton and both took their orders
from him. For days before the eX-

Brussels. - Correspondence of
the Associated Press. )-Stories of
heroism, patriotism and devotion
of Belgians during the German oc-
cupation are continually coming to
the surface of the miasmal pool of
intrigue, treachery and selfishness
which the Germans left behind in
Belgium.
How two men gave up their lives
and two went to prison for a period
which would have lasted 20 years
had the Germans been victorious,
that the man higher up" might
live and continue managing the
underground organization which
was sending valuable information
out of the occupied country has
now been related to the Associated
Press correspondent by the man
whose life was saved by their sac
rifice.
Adolphe Buyl, liberal member of
the Belgian parliament, alderman
of the commune of Ielles in the city
of Brussels, is the man for whom
two men died and who for four
years conducted the organization
and lived continually in the fear
OF execution by Germans.
Late in 1914 the Germans had
not organized the Dutch frontier
with that murderous efficiency
which sent to their graves many
young Belgians attempting to cross
into Holland. Buyl had access to
