WAY; COMMITTEE MEETS

Have Free Access to Grounds

! A great exposition, the like of
which has never been witnessed in
northern Wisconsin, in honor of a
| Peace Week." from June 80 to July

OF Chicago, prombter of entertain
ments, and who directed the home
| talent opera, 1.-THE White Elephant -
for the Marathon county chapter of
the American Red Cross, was present
| and presented his plan for such an
| exposition.
Would Be Free For Service Men
1t was recommended that the ex-
position be held in the fair grounds,
that it be absolutely free from top to
bottom Tor returned soldiers, sailors
| and marines but that a small

| week, according to Mr.. Darnaby's plan,
| would have number of important
| features. There would be an avenue
lined with tents and booths to the
grandsand. Merchants would have ex-
hibits and in the side tents shows
would be held. An automobile show
was suggested and another to present
the dairy industry as it is in the
county.
Stage Would Be Center of Attraction
The stage in front of the grand
stand would constantly be in use.
Speakers of national reputation, it
was suggested, should be booked
Military spectacles should be under
taken. On one of the days a barbecue
may be held and ? free dinner served
to all who have been in the service
Inclement weather, Mr.. Darnaby de-
clared, would be the only thing which
would prevent the success of such
week.
1t is the belief of the committee
that if any money is realized it
shall be made a fund toward a men,
orial for the veterans of the world
war. Members of the committee feel
certain that most of Marathon county's
soldiers, sailors and marines will have
been discharged by July 1 and will be

near Fall River, caused a delay of
five hours in the arrival of the north

obstruction on the tracks, which caus-
ing the tipping of one car, pulled the
others over in the same manner.

DEMAND FOR MARRIAGE LICENSES
IMPROVES

The county clerks Office force was
sorely worried last week. No one
could account for what was happen
ing; for almost ten days, February %
to March 6. there wasn't a single re-
quest for a marriage licensed. 1t be-
gan to look dark for the future, but
all OF sudden the market" took an
other turn. The following licenses
were granted this week:
George Hanke, Wausau, TO Eva
Baker, Grand Rapids: Henry Bernitt
to Bertha Krupp, both of town of Day:
Arthur Y. Trutt to Lena Hurter, both
of Athens; Chas. E. Brooks to Myrtle

Forgot What He Needed

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young gentleman came to this Office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized it
carefully when a copy was handed
him, and then said: Now l knowl"
What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. my wife sent me after a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, and l forgot the name. l went
to several stores and the clerks named
over everything in the line on the shelf
except 'Chamberlain's.' I'll try again
and I'll never go home without Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" The Repub-
lican would suggest to the proprietors
OF stores, that they post their clerks,
and never let them substitute. Gus
toners lose faith in stores where SUBJ
stituting is permitted, to say nothing
of the injustice to makers of goods and
the disappointment of customers.

CITY COUNCIL GIVES NEW
TRUCK co. LEASE OF
LIFE BY LAND GRANT

The Lull Truck company, which will
manufacture a four wheel drive, has
been given a lease of life by the city
| council, which granted it thirty acres
! Tor manufacturing purposes, at an ad-
journed meeting held in the CITY hall
Monday night. Little opposition to
the contract, agreed upon by council
committee and approved by the truck
company's representatives, was en-
countered.
Glad To Aid Home Financed Concern
1t was concensus of opinion that
the city is glad to aid concerns which
are started by local business men and
which look promising to the city as
whole. The contract as it stands
calls upon the Lull Truck Co., to COM
plete the present factory building on
the land
The piece of property granted was
thirty acres of the South East quart
er of the North East quarter of section
number "a of Township number 90,
north of range number z, East of the
Fourth Principal Meridian lying south
| of the Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way company, excepting therefrom, a
| four acre tract heretofore sold to the
Underwood Veneer Co. Edward Kuhl-
| man and Emil Flatter believed that
it was not necessary to give thirty
| acres as large concerns elsewhere of
similar nature are using only ten
| to fifteen.
Provisions For Employment
Another provision of the contract is
that the company shall employ twenty
| five men by April 1920; thirty-five by
the next year and fifty men the third,
fourth and fifth years thereafter. If
these conditions are complied with at
| the end of five years a deed will be de-
| livered to the company.
| The General hospital was granted
exemption on $243 taxes, which it had
been required to pay. 1t was declared
that it had done praiseworthy work
as a benevolent institution.
The Edee property, located at Jack
son and Second streets, will be pur-
chased by the city for $4,000, it was
voted. The board of public works is
authorized to enter into a contract for
its purchase Immediately.
Arrangements will be made immedi-
ately by committee and composed OF
Aldermen Zielsdorf, Gaetzman and
| BorowitZ, for soldiers and sailors

this committee to rent suitable place
