PRIZES AWARDED WAUSAU
BOYS IN CONTEST

Wausau children did not work in
vain to make posters for the Ameri-
can Humane association. Third prize
in the national contest was awarded
recently to Lester Kahn, fourth grade
B, of the Washington school, and
fourth prize to Floyd Miller, second
grade, of the Washington school,. The
drawing of Harold Wittke, 523 Park
avenue, was given an honorable men
tion. Mrs. E. F. Stockum last week
received letter from Sydney H. Cole
man, field secretary of the association,
in which he writes as follows:
Dear MrsAStockum:
Let me Congratulate you upon the
character of the drawings submitted
by the children of your public schools
in the recent Human Poster Contest
held under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Humane association. Many of the
drawings submitted by your children
were very good indeed and attracted
favorable comment from the judges.
81 should be pleased to have you
give your personal opinion in regard to
the value of such contest so that
the American Humane association may
be guided in future observances."
In May hundreds of posters cleverly
executed by the children of the Wau-
sau public schools, were exhibited in
the display windows of down town
stores, giving all an opportunity to see
the progress of the children in draw
ing and painting. The ideas were in
the majority conceived by the children
and were executed with the help of
the instructors. The work received
hjRh commentator in the city.

REMOVING TRACKS ABOUT
SCOTT STREET LOOP

The Wisconsin Valley Electric COM
pany Is removing tracks from Fourth
street between Scott and Washington
streets, which will be followed soon
by the removal of the tracks now laid
on both Washington and Scott streets
between Third and Fourth streets.
The wire suspended in the center of
these streets as we'll as the poles sup
porting them along the sides which
will also be taken away. The action
increases the beauty somewhat. For
some years the tracks have been little
used only during the summer when es-
pecially large crowds are being taken
to the park or the west side. When
baseball games were being played in
the old west side park the side tracks
were as much used as ever, several
specials generally waiting to take the
crowd over.

INDIAN FARMERS FOLLOW
WHITE MANS SCIENCE

What the Indian families on the re-
servations think about the white man S
farming is best shown in what they
have done in the year following the
Indian farmers Institutes, thinks j. F
Volta of the College of Agriculture.
AT Reserve and Trading Post, on the
Chippewa reservation in Sawyer coun-
ty, interest in gardening seemed great
es. There the Chippewas raised enough
potatoes, rutabagas, carrots, Deets, tur-
nips, cabbage, cucumbers beans we'll
corn and onions to supply their fam
lilies and have some to spare.
AT Reserve spring wheat was seeded
in 1918 and 800 bushels harvested
This spring 10 acres of newly cleared
land has been plowed and seeded to
oats clover and timothy.
The Lac du Flambeau Chippewas in
Villas county have already put in
strawberry and raspberry plants and
apple trees, but their chief interest
seems to be in certified seed potatos.
2 acres of Green Mountain seed have
been planted this year so that there
will be enough for all the reservation
next year. A potato warehouse is to
be constructed at the end of the rail-
road spur on the reservation.
The Menominee Indians at Keshena,
Shawano county, have adopted such
signs of advanced farming as certified
seed potatoes and purebred sires. One
farmer ordered a potato spraying ma
chine through the county agent, three
ordered corrosive sublimate for treat
ing potato seed, two are growing soy
beans, seven are on the farmers bull
letin list. A purebred bull now heads
the dairy herd at the central station

LIT. d. ]. MAC LEHMAN,
HOME ON FIFTEEN
DAY FURLOUGH

Lieut.. Donald ]. MacLennan, 36th
Division, arrived in Wausau Thurs
day for visit of fifteen days with his
mother, Mrs. d. MacLennan, 112 Scott
street, from Camp Grant, ILL.,, where
he must return after that period TO
be released from the service. Few
men from this city can boast of the
remarkable record made by Lieut.
MacLennan. The lieutenant is disin-
clined to say much.
Don MacLennan served at the Mex
lean border with Company G, and went
through it's many hardships after that,
as a private and later, a non-com-
missioned officer In France he at
tended an Officers Training School,
obtaining commission as a second
lieutenant. He spent much time at
the front then with four divisions,
among them the famous 32nd. He was
promoted to first lieutenant when
transferred to the Both Division. Lieut.
MacLennan was awarded the Distin-
guished Service cross and the Croix dc
Guerre, by the French, for bravery in
action. Connected with Curtis & Yale
before he entered the service, the men
of that company honored the lieuten-
ant during the Fifth Victory Loan by
printing his name on one of the big
battle posters issued by the govern
ment asking those at home to back the
boys.

ON THE WRONG TRACK

The Record-Herald seems to feel
that it was referred to as either
Ignorant, unjust or actuated by ill
feeling toward the directors" of the
Wausau Telephone Co., judging by the
tone of its leading editorial in We'd
Inesday evenings issue of its paper.
The old saying actions speak loud
er than words" has never been dis
proved, so let US see what have been
its actions and judge it accordingly.
A week or so ago R.-H. published an
editorial in which, among other things
it said that everything the company
uses to give service, with the single
exception of labor, has now returned
to its pre-war cost basis. Possibly it
believed this at that time, but it now
has the actual facts as sworn to be-
| fore the Railroad Commissioner and
does it come forward with any cor
trection of this gross injustice on it's
part? Ignorant it possibly was; but
if it does not intend to be unjust or is
not actuated by ill-feeling, why does
it not correct his editorial?
Again in Wednesday evenings is
sue the paper makes the statement
that property worth over $500, 900. 90
has been accumulated out of earnings,
in addition to paying large cash and
stock dividends, and also states that it
has not been given any information in
support of the claim that increased
rates for telephone service were neces-
sary
This information was given the R.-H
publicly at the proper time and at the
proper place; before the Railroad
Commissioner at the hearing held
Tuesday at the city hall. Further, a
reasonable report was printed Tues
day evening in it's own paper.
In view of these facts the R.-H.
still persists in making false and mis-
leading statements editorially, what
must one think of it? Can it claim
that the directors of the Wausau Tele-
phone Company "are not justified in
accusing everyone (the R.-H., for in
sance) who oppose the application, of
being ignorant, unjust or actuated by
ill-feeling toward the directors"
Ignorant, it cannot claim to be any
longer for it has the plain facts be-
fore it. What it's actions would be
called among people who desire to be
just, and who are not actuated by ILL
feeling toward anyone, the reader can
Judge for himself.
Is it justice to show such an attitude
toward the Wausau Telephone Co.,
while carrying on the editorial page
large clipping from an exchange
which is nothing more nor less than
an advertisement for different public
utility and an advertisement, by the
way, which the said public utility
wouldn't dare have printed as such
directly?
AS for list of stock holders, why
not have list of the largest stock
holders in the Wis. Valley Electric
Co., or the Great Northern Life? Why
not tell us just whatis the reason one
public utility can have valuable ad-
vertising printed as news while an
other and relatively much smaller util-
ity must come in for such unjust and
misleading statements as are con-
tanned in the editorials mentioned?
