FIRE AT gLKs' CLUB HOUSE
Building Damaged Last Evening to
the Extent of About $1,000

Last evening, at about $3.50 o'clock,
the Elks' club house. Fire was dis
covered by those in the rooms at that
hour. There had been a card party
participated in by the ladies of the
members, after which some Of the Elks
dropped in. and as they were smoking
the ladies did not pay much attention
to the smoke which was filling the
rooms, only remarking upon the quail
ity of the weed used. However, the
volume of smoke grew larger until 1t
dawned upon all that the building was
on fire. A hurried investigation proved
that the west side OF the basement was
all ablaze and before the fire depart
ment arrived, fire broke through the
outer walls on the west side and had
also eaten its way through the first
floor. The four fire departments of
the city came out and in short time
it was supposed had the fire under
control but a moment later flames
were coming through the roof 1t
required two and a half hours of work
by the departments to extinguish the
fire, because of the fact that it was
working its way in the walls and par
titions. Holes were cut in the roof,
in the floors and in the walls. The
entire west half of the larger build
ing is practically destroyed. The east
half was damaged very little excepting
by the dense smoke and water. Most
all of the fine furniture was soaked
with water smoked up and damaged
in moving The pool tables which
were in rooms in the west half were
more or less damaged. When it
comes to redecorating, replacing fur
niture, etc, the damage will show a
considerable, and then the Elks' will
have building in which there is
much charred timber, emitting creo-
sote fumes in damp weather.
The building was insured for $4,000
and there was an insurance of $4,000
on the furniture. The loss will prob
ably figure up to about $4,000. The
Elks purchased this property several
years ago and this will necessitate
near future.

controversy about the matter, because
the income tax returns speak for

You state that the bituminous coal
operators will welcome the publication
of just as full current tax returns for
the bituminous coal industry as are
published for any other industry. The
publication of returns for any other
industry has nothing to do with this
case. Coal is vital to the life of the

Garfield and McAdOO on the Coal
Situation

Fuel Administrator Garfield, after a
thorough investigation of the coal
question finds that the public should
not pay the increase in coal asked
for by the owners of mines. He did
not consider the raise necessary to
provide reasonable wages to the mine
workers and a reasonable profit to
the mine owners. Mr. Garfield pre-
scented to the coal operators and work
ers on Thursday the terms of settle
ment of the mine strike proposed by
the presidents cabinet The chief
features of which were:
A wage advance averaging ii per
cent, instead of the so per cent origi
nally demanded by the miners, the
31.61 per cent proposed by Secretary
of Labor Wilson and Endorsed by the
miners, and the 20 per cent offered by
the operators.
consumers. Creation of a joint COM
mission of operators and miners, with
Secretary of the Interior Lane as
chairman, to work out the details of
the wage adjustments in accordance
with these principles and to furnish
information and ADVICE for the set

Hot Shot from MeAdOO
Bituminous coal operators were ac-
cused of obscuring the issue and again
challenged to produce their income
tax returns by William G. McAdoo,
former secretary of the treasury, in a
formal answer last Wednesday to their
telegram criticizing his earlier state
ment that they made shocking and
lndefensible profits in 1917" and should
not be allowed to increase prices of
coal.
"The statement in your telegram"

tors committee at Washington and
made public here, that the average
margin per ton of all coal mined in
1918 was 46 cents, has no bearing on
this issue These averages are fire.

Change on Jan. LIST
THE WAUSAU PILOT
WILL INCREASE ITS
SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The proprietor of the Pilot
had hoped that the price or
material would take drop after
the war and it would not be
necessary to advance the price
of the paper. A year OF hoping
finds the prices going higher
and prices of labor increasing
so he is forced to make a raise.
After Jan. LIST, 1920, the price
of the Pilot will be $500 year,
payable in advance. Anyone de-
string to subscribe before that
time may do so at the old rate
$3.50, and all subscriptions
paid for, will of course be con-
tinued to the end of the time
subscribed for. Those who have
not paid for the Pilot in advance
by the 1st of JAN, will be
charged up the increased price

selected. OF the 81 daughters of as
ISOLATION bulls for which the 1918 rec
ords are available, is excelled their
dams in butter-fat production, and Is
excelled their dams in production of
both milk and butter fat.
The average yearly production of
the dams was $500 pounds of milk
and 219 pounds of butter fat. The
average yearly production of the 81
daughters was 6,523 pounds of milk
and 263 pounds of butter fat. In milk
production the daughters excelled
their dams by 963 pounds or. il per
cent, and in butter-fat production by
A pounds, or 20 per cent, These are
not as large gains as some other bull
associations have given, but are well
worth while.
Because of cooperative ownership
the bulls cost the farmers no more
than would have been paid for scrubs !;
it costs no more to feed the daugh-
tiers than to feed the dams, and it
costs much less to feed the bulls be-
cause there were not so many of them.
The increased production, therefore,
was all net profit.
