FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH

A very timely topic was discussed
from the pulpit of the First Univer-
salist church Sunday. The pastor
spoke on, "The Bonds of Liberty; Lib
erty Bonds" 1t was an appeal to be
generous in the support of the Victory
Loan, and to inform ourselves as good
citizens, on the new great issues of
the day. Special mention was made of
some Of the great messages which have
been delivered by the president during
and since the war.
delightful thing In the services
vas the original composition by the
organist, Mr.. Joseph Ekman, who is
known as one of the leading organists
OF the state. His composition was the
Prelude, entitled, "Proces ssional in c."
1t was very devotional in character,
but had running through it the martial
and suggestive of the hour in which
i was written. 1t is a composition OF
much merit. Mark Bells recently
home from U. S. army service over
seas, will address the Sunday school
next Sunday.

SELLS ALMOND FARM

Mrs. W. d. Kollock and daughter,
Miss Louise, were up from Almond
today on a shopping and visiting trip.
The Kollock farm, which comprises
120 acres of as good land as Portage
county boasts, was sold last week to
Ellery Frost Of Almond, who will take
possession at once. This property
had been in the possession of the Kol-
lock family for upwards of half a
century but since the death of W. D.
Kollock a few years ago the farm had
been under lease to tenants. Mrs Kol-
lock and daughter have not definitely
decided as to their future location.

$500. indicating that Mr.. Frost Sc

CLEANUP PROCLAMATION SOON

A cleanup day is about due in Wau-
sau and very likely the first part of
May will see a proclamation from the
mayors office urging all citizens to
clean up their yards, plant shrubbery,
arrange gardens and to beautify the
grounds about their homes generally.
Each year this is a custom. This year
especially every effort should be eX-
erted to fix things up in great shape.
Wausau will have a lot of callers,
business as well as pleasure figuring,
and it is no more than right that we
show them the progressiveness of the
municipality in this way.

cross, near which stood a Red Cross
nurse, one hand resting on that of a
soldier, the other on that of sailor,
was a feature which attracted much
attention.
Mayor John L. Sell and F. F. Ziels-
dorf, fire chief, rode at the head of
the city officials. The city council
and firemen followed. Two floats of
the city were in this section. The
employees of the post Office marched,
carrying a 1000 banner. This post
office went over the top at the very
start of the victory loan, obtaining as
a matter of fact, nearly $1,000 more
than in the Fourth Loan.
The War Mothers of st. Mary's
church, members of the Wausau Motor
corps, bond sales women also marched.
A float loaded with farm produce, a.
COW, chickens, and on which was car
ried this banner: '"This is the Way
Marathon County, outside of the City
of Wausau, will raise its quota of
$3.50, ,000-We Will Finish the Job" was
one of the most attractive floats in
the parade.
About 200 bond statesmen marched.
The American and Red Cross flags
were carried, in addition to those of
previous Liberty Loans. The Eagles
drill team and marching club, in uni
form, made an excellent appearance.
The last unit in the parade was the
High School Cadets, in charge of g.
l.. BateSole.
Smith Speaks
F. ]. Smith, of Merrill, addressed
the large throng of Wausau and Mara
thon county citizens, who gathered at
the Court House square following the
parade. Judge A. H. Reid introduced
him, saying that he was a brother of
Capt A. H. Smith, who is commanding
a company of Merrill volunteers in
France.
"The American flag and the United
States of America are the Signal by
which the world may judge eternal
justice and fair play" declared Mr.
Smith. He emphasized the import
ance of the present Victory loan end
urged all to buy to their limit. That
citizenship was not by any means con-
stituted only by the ability to use the
English language, was Mr.. Smiths
opinion. He declared that those who
could not speak our language we'll
could be just as sincere and patriotic
as others.
The line of march extended from the
Y. M. c. A. down Third to Scott street,
down Scott and over the high bridge
to Clinton, across the falls and back
again, then up Washington street to
Second street, thence to Jackson, up
Jackson to Third, down Third to Scott

house the units were dismissed

PARADE VIEWED BY

VICTORY MARCH A SUCCESS
AND 800 EX-SERVICE
MEN PARTICIPATE
Many Organizations in City We're
Represented-0Yersea Soldiers All
March in Column of FOurs- Spanish
Veterans and Co. C i'm Line

Wausau's first Victory parade, held
last Tuesday evening and participated
in by several thousand people, includ-
ing 300 ex-soldiers, sailors and ma
rine, witnessed by nearly 10000 peo-
pie, scattered along the entire line of
march, was probably the largest ever
staged in the history of the city. 1t
afforded citizens their first oppor tun-
1ty to see their representatives in the
world war march in formation
Overseas Men Together
The stand of colors with an armed
guard, at the head of the parade, was
followed by an automobile in which
were five wounded soldiers, unable to
cover the walk by foot with ease.
Three automobiles carrying the vet
Grams of the Civil War followed.
Next in line were the overseas men,
over 100 in number, under the COM
mand of Capt. James Bell. These
marched. in a column of fours and
were the center of attention. Over
seas uniforms, caps, a dozen different
mslgn1as of organizations, gas masks,
helmits and other things which these
men considered of interest to Wau-
sau people, formed part of the
equipment of these soldiers. They
walked and held themselves like vet
Grams, appearing to be a unit of men
which had drilled, marched and
moved together for many a day. Near
ly $50 officers and enlisted men con-
Stltuted the next group, which marched
IN platoon formation. Each platoon
was IN command of a lieutenant. Each
platoon executed right front into line
on lower Third street as the end of
the line of march was being ap-
preached and marched for several
blocks, each platoon with its twelve
men in a front extending across the
street and preceded by its lieutenant.
The sailors who followed numbered
about fifty, and were only a small
representation of the total which Wau-
sau and Marathon county have enlist
ed. Not so many of this branch of
the service, however, have, as yet re-
turned. The colors preceded this
group. A single marine followed.
The county's large service banner,
which bears eighty-seven gold stars
and 5000 silver ones, followed. 1t
indicates what large number of men
this county has sent to the colors.
Spanish-American war veterans num-
bering thirty-five, participated. Co. C,
which followed, made an excellent ap-
pearance. The organization is we'll
trained and under the command of
Capt. F. R. Becker, occupied prom
inent place in the parade. The Tenth
Infantry band, located in the center
OF the parade, played martial selec-
tions most appropriate to the occasion.
