CHARITY FUND WILL
GO OVER TOP
TOTAL OF $500 HAS BEEN
RECEIVED UP TO THIS
MORNING
Workers Have Been Diligent-Driye
VIII Continue Through This Week
Hope to Reach $4,000 Before
Saturday

The Federated Charities of Wausau
has received pledges amounting to
$500 in its campaign to obtain
$4,000 for work among the poor and
needy of this city. Especial emphasis
is now being placed on the small
donations of twenty-five and fifty
cents, which can be given by the
larger share of the city's population.
These will be received at the Western
Union Telegraph officer, where a booth
has been placed. 1t will be open the
remainder of this week and on Sat-
urday night, according to Harry Ber-
ger, it is hoped to announce the fund
as lover the top"
Fund Ayerts Suffering
If the Federated Charities can OBJ
tain the money it is requesting, none
in Wausau, who are destitute during
the next year need suffer. Injured,
disabled or crippled children will be
cared for by the Children's Infirmary,
where many local physicians have in
the past given their expert services
free of charge. The needy will be
cared for in their homes by efficient
social welfare workers. Persons re-
quiring operations and who are unable
financially to pay for the hospital and
surgeons services, will be taken care
of by the Ladies' Auxiliary of St.
Mary's hospital, which maintains a
free bed. Only those persons who
have experienced the generosity OF
these institutions can give an idea of
what wonderful work has been done.
Among those who have been espec-
tally prominent in the campaign are:

WRITES SYMPATHY
COLONEL OF REGIMENT DE-
CLARES WAUSAU MANS
RECORD SPLENDID

Mrs. Anna Mulligan, 426 Henrietta
street, has received letter from
Colonel F. G.. Bolles, Thirty-ninth In
fantry, commander OF the organization
with which her son, Pvt r ebert Null
ligan, fought and died in France, in
which he sympathizes with her in
her bereavement and speaks of the
splendid record of Pvt. Mulligan. The
letter follows:
American E. F., Germany,
February 81, 1919.
Mrs. Anna Mulligan,
426 Henrietta ST.,
Wausau, Wis.
My dear Madam:
You have no doubt received notifica
ton from the War Department of the
death of your son, Pvt. Robert Multi
gan, who was a member of the Thirty
ninth Infantry, which regiment / have
the honor to command. l regret that
my duties, connected with the cam
paigns and occupation of the con-
quered territory have heretofore pre-
vented my writing you personally of
your sons DEATH
He was killed instantly by the
enemy machine gun fire near Sepr-
sargesm, September 9th, 1918, and
was buried near where he fell, the
grave being marked with a cross to
which is fastened the identification tag
bearing name and number.
Your son leaves a most excellent
record in the regiment of which you
may well be proud. He was a brave
and loyal soldier, held in high esteem
by his officers and comrades.
l sympathize with you deeply in your
loss, but hope you will find consolation
in the thought that he died for a just
cause that the world might be free.
Most sincerely,
F. G. BOLLES,
Colonel, Infantry.
A second son of Mrs. Mulligan,
Sergt. F. S. Mulligan, is in France with
the 30Sth Supply Co., 1. M. c., Ameri
can Expeditionary Forces, and, ac-
cording to word which reached Wau-
sau last week, will not return to this
country until next July. Mrs. Multi
gan has a proud war record, one of
which a mother may feel proud-and
in recognition of the loss of her son,
she wears a gold service star on the
left arm of her coat.

COUNTY Y. M. C. A. WILL BE
ORGANIZED
Harry c. Berger Chairman-Banker
and Local Y Men Hold Banquet
Last Tuesday Evening

Marathon county will be reaping the
benefits of county Y. M. c. A. work
before long if plans of the local as
ISOLATION, county bankers, and Wau-
sau workers materialize. That there
is little doubt some definite action will
result from the banquet held at the
Y. NJ. c. A. last Tuesday, possibly in
the employment of a field secretary in
the near future, is the belief of H. H.
Davis, secretary.
Berger Committee Head
Harry C. Berger, who presided, was
placed at the head of permanent
committee, which will endeavor to as
cerain the attitude of the entire county
on this work. The Chambers of Com
merce and other organizations in small
towns and cities will be asked their
ideas. Mr.. Berger emphasized the
need of Y work in rural districts. E.
]. Nickel, of Milwaukee, recently re-
turned. from France, where he was a
Y. NJ. c. A. worker, endeavored to
answer criticism, which had been
heaped upon the associations foreign
service. H. F. Tormohlen was an
other speaker. H. E. Andrews, Port
age, told Of the work of the county

short talks were made.

of unceasing fighting. The American
Red Cross has asked Marathon county
to contribute this quantity. Thus far
the response has been only fair. Wau-
sau Red Cross workers optimistically
declare that the city and county will
not fall behind it's quota-for what
has been received thus far does not
even approximate the response of 5000
purpose.
People COnsecrate Clothes
For dozens of years it has been a
custom to save and treasure the
clothes of those who have crossed to
the other side of life. If they could
speak, could only make their wishes
known, would they say: "Place my
clothes in a trunk, where they will do
no good" or would they request this
apparel, no longer of value to the re-
naming, to be given to those who
may be cold, half clothed and in dire
need of aid ? Certainly it would be
their request that Europe's masses be
helped to once again gain a foothold
and to find life in some ways worth
living.
"The Red Cross is doing all 1t can to
explain that the people of Europe are
as badly in need of clothing as they are
of food" declares Mrs. l.. A. Pradt,
| one Of the committee, who is receiv-
| ing all phone calls at her home from
persons, who wish clothes collected.
ut is a splendid thing to help the
| Associated Charities, but there are not
ms in rryhn n1xy
| destitute as many poor people of
Europe are. They are ragged, cold,
and hundreds of them as a conse-
quence, are sick. Surely if our people
will give as generously as they can,
we can help alleviate that condition.
Last fall many persons bought pieces
of goods and contributed this as their
| share if they had nothing old to
| donate. This should be done again
this spring. Our aid this spring is
| just as essential, if not more so, than
last fall
Mrs. Pradt believes that from a
political point of view, too, the aid
OF America in foreign countries will
| do much to ally the constant advance
| of red peril, Bolshevism, with its con-
sequent murder and starvation. with
food and clothing that could not hap
pen," she says.
Mrs. HudtlOff Is Chairman
Mrs. w. E. Hudtloff is chairman of
the committee of the local Red Cross
| chapter, which is carrying on this
work. With corps of workers every
effort has been extended to obtain do
nations. The store formerly occupied
by Bartholomew in DR.. Lawrence's
building is being used, having been
! turned over to the Red Cross for the
period. Wausau people are urged to
ransaek their attics; anything and
everything will be welcome.
Among the ladies who have been
assisting are Mesdames ]. B. Goerling,
F. o. Croker, r. w. Jones, o. B.
Kaross, L. A. Pradt, W. A Wilson,
John Lull, A B. Rosenberg, Charles
Gill, c. E. Dodge and ]. F. Ross. The
drive will continue through Wednes-
day to permit those who have not yet
given teir share to do so.

Dainty Quilts,

Scraps from old dancing frocks
of taffeta or satin in pastel shades
make very dainty quilts for the bou-
doir. One charming quilt of this kind
was evolved from cast-off evening
coat of pale pink silk in morning
glory shade and discarded dance
frock of rose fiowered white pussy will

blocks. flowered and plain silks cut in
triangles, and the blocks Joined by
strips of pink satin ribbon. 1t was
lined with plain thin silk with a sheet
of cotton wadding laid between.

yellow paper to make them. To get
just the right tint 1t may be neces-
Nsary to experiment by first tinting
small pieces of crepe or portion of
the waist that is covered by the skirt.
The blouse will look lighter when it is
dry than when it is wet 1t is better
to deepen the tint by redipping than
to make it too strong at first. The
method of tinting with gasoline will
be given in another article

Taupe velvet is popular, because IT

Stier Clothing Co. Builds New
Front.

Stier Clothing Company has
nearly completed the new front
and display windows to its store
on Main street. All that remains
to be done is the laying of the
tile on the floor of the entrance
and the base of the windows.
The fitting of the glass was done
by an expert, and to the eye of
a passer-by, it seems unusually
well done. The entrance is re-
cessed so as to give several feet
of display space on each side.
The entrance is wide and will
have an ornamental tile floor
and wainscoting, The lighting
system will complete a most at
tractive front and be in keeping
with the up-to-dateness of the
Stier store.
