interval of over twenty-four hours
In the meantime things had been
moving at breakneck speed in the
pol.ticalmaster generals Geographic
service. The rush" telegram which
DR.. Teller had sent at 10 o'clock on
Thursday morning reached Dr. Beebe
at $50 on Friday afternoon. Owing
TO the life-and-death nature OF the
message, the politicalmaster general
undoubtedly had put on extra speed.
The telegram was rushed through 10
its New York address in only little
over thirty hours. AS quickly as ne

personally directed the parcel con.

That was at o'clock on Friday

Now. all things considered, we are
idtsposed to regard this as the polltt-

ering mail matter. He has been far
.longer in delivering night kilograms

is anything surprising in 24-houl

telephone connection between Ne"

have in one instance. and that IN

LETT HISTORY REFLECT FACTS.

When Froude wrote his essay The
Science of History he began by quoting Ma
poleon's aphorism '<What is history but fc-
ton agreed upon?'' And he followed this with
the passage where Goethe makes Faust say:
ssWhat you call the spirit of the past ages is
nothing but the spirit of this or that worthy
gentleman IN which these ages are reflected
We know that in the long cycle of time it is
well with the good; it is i'll with the wicked
But this is no more than the prophets knew
thousands OF years ago. We cannot yet found
on what we call history definite method OF
Judging it's accuracy nor we lay down rules
lbv which it shall be written with infallible
truth.
Nov out of this war are to come vast changes
and they viii live TO bring about other changes,
Tt will be of great value to the future that
true history Of this war be permanent record
No better means Of perpetuating the truth can
be at present seen than by preserving IN as
complete a form as possible all the original
documents that have bearing on the conflict
There have been reports Of various agents at
work for this government In collecting war-his-
tory material. II Is work to be done with
Judgment, skill and wide opportunity for gath
ering al that is wanted.

there are still few left who know
just what ought to be done with their
neighbors.

TO START PROSECUTIONS
IN NORTHERN PART
OF STATE

Dairy and Food Commissioner Geo.
j. Weigle, recently returned to Madi-
son after an extended trip through
northern Wisconsin, declared that a
wholesome fraud is being .perpetrat-
ed upon the farmers of the state,
principally in the sale of so-called
linseed oil and turpentine," and as
soon as he has sufficiently warned
dealers he proposes to start prosecu-
tions
"The law is very explicit as to how
mixed or compounded oils or turpen-
tine shall be labeled" said Mr.. Wei
gle, "and there is really no excuse
for dealers, either in the cities or
in smaller centers, selling so-called
linseed oil or turpentine minus the
proper labels, to inform buyers what
they are paying for"
Just now the dealers of the state
are being swamped with letters and
circulars from several oil concerns
outside the state, advertising 'Adul-
terated Raw Linseed OIL, and 'Adul-
terated Boiled Linseed OH. The
manufacturers of these compounds
appa re1tly hope to evade the law by
using the word 'Adulterated', but they
cannot do that l propose through
the newspapers to first give dealers
or agents notice to stop the sale of
these goods, which of course are sold
mostly to farmers, and people OF
sma.il means, who do their own paint
ing, and then prosecute to the limit
every one found selling them"

THE NAVY SEEKING AFTER
WAR ENLISTMENTS

The navy is seeking after the war
enlistments. Recruiting men are still
making the rounds or cities in this
part of the state. The following has
been received by Commander Ertz,
navy recruiting officer for Wiscon-
sin and the upper peninsula of Mich
igan, from Josephus Daniels:
Now that war time activities have
ceased and it has become necessary
to release men who enlisted in the
navy for the period of emergency on
ly, an interesting program is being
arranged whereby unusual advantag-
es and opportunities for promotion
will be given to those who become a
part of the peace time navy.
Upon the cessation of hostilities,
the departments first concern was to
bring about the release of the young
men who came in the navy te~contrib-
ute their help in time of war, and by
so doing, sacrificed from one to two
years of their educational training,
so as to permit them to return to
college. / strongly advise every young
man who can possibly do so, to go
to college and appeal to parents to
encourage their sons to complete
their education. If unable to do SO,
however, / urge that parents inyesti-
gate, in behalf of their sons, the op-
portunities offered by the navy to ev-
cry ambitious young man, and sug-
gest that they interview local recruit
ing officer or communicate with the
navy department.

EDITORS OF CENTRAL

The Central Wisconsin Press Assn
met at Mosinee on Friday. B. E.
Walters, who is secretary of the as
sociation and who is the able editor
and publisher of the Times of that
city, is due the honor of making the
meeting pronounced success, re-
gardless of the fact that the
day embodied the most inclement
weather of the year. 1t commenced
to rain early in the morning, accom-
panied by the greatest electric dis
play of the season. Nearly two
inches of rain fell and flash after
flash of lightning and the crash and
rolling of thunder made the day
much different than that ordered
by Mr.. Walters. Nevertheless, with
his capacity for doing things, the
program was carried out to the let
ter aId all in attendance were made
comfortable. True. this kept goodly
number away who had intended to
have been present. There were about
thirty publishers who participated in
the meeting.
The address of welcome was made
by w. A. Won Berg, president of the
filldSCB WHlCH was TGSpOuueu 10 Dy
E. S. Bailey of the Marshfield News,
president of the association.
A paper was read by D. F. Burnham
of Waupaca, and the forenoon was
taken up by a discussion on the
Minimum Wage Law for Women"
At l o'clock a luncheon was served
at Hotel Wirth, with the Mosinee
Chamber of Commerce as hosts.
Papers were read at the afternoon
session, held at the Dessert Library
by George E. Crothers, of Neillsville
John w. Glennon of Stevens Point
and general discussion on the labor
situation.
The publishers were shown through
the mills of the .Wausau Sulphite
and Fiber Co.
In the evening a delightful dinner
was served in the dining hall of the
State Bank of Mosinee, with the
Chamber of Commerce as hosts. The
post prandial program which followed
with j. L. Sturtevant of WausaU as
toastmaSter, was the event of the oc-
casion. There was vocal and instru-
mental music and splendid talks made
by Hon. Merlin Hull of Madison; S.
B. Tobey of Wausau; John F. Sims of

pite Weather

The Walter L. Maine Circus ar
rived from Bradford early yesterday
morning and many of the kiddies OF
Olean and vicinity with a lot of the

vices in the different churches. This
morning the big tents were erected
and the big parade was given at 1900
o'clock. The big performance given
this afternoon was about the circus
standard.
Truly some high class circus acts
are in the program and there never is
one dull moment in the three rings

are: Cheerful Gardeners Elephants

DeMott, Wallet and Hollis. The three

applause. The horse that holds the
worlds record made in Madison

inches, in a broad jump and z feet,
3 inches high, was quite a feature.
The army of clowns keep them all
laughing. Bennie the bucking mule
