WILL BRING IN MONEY TO
A COMMUNITY

! The pay for drill and the allowance
for an organization in the Wisconsin
National Guard is going to bring in
thousands of dollars to the community
having a unit in the guard An order
now being prepared at the adjutant
generals Office will state that the pay
for drill will vary from $375 a month
for a private to $12 a month for a
first sergeant and adds Legislation
now being favorably considered by
congress will vary probably result in
increasing this sum so per cent"
The pay and allowance of each in
fantry company will be approximately
$4,000 battery of light artillery $4,000.
battery of heavy artillery $4,000, en-
gineer company $4,000 troop of cav
airy and signal company $4,000 a
year. The mounted organizations foot
up to more than the infantry on ac-
count of being furnished with horses,
requiring feed and care takers. The
pay of the latter is not to exceed 1875
a month. The organizations entitled
to government horses are the cavalry,
engineers light artillery and signal
battalion
The adjutant generals order will
call attention to the importance of or
ganizing troops of cavalry in the
smaller cities on account of the mini
mum strength being only seventy. The
same thing applies to the motor sec
tlon units. These units are: five
truck companies each of one officer
and 80 men, four truck companies of
one officer and SO men; one engineer
train of one officer and 23 men. The
state allowance of $3.50 per year will
be made these organizations and the
pay for drill is the same as the other
organizations. A sufficient number of
motor trucks will be issued for in
struction purposes at the home sta
tions. These units will be equipped
with the rife so that they can drill as
infantry and thereby give the cities
they are stationed in, a military or
ganization for drill and parae pur-
poses.

EARLY CHRISTMAS MAIL.
INGS

Postmaster T. H. Ryan is urging
early mailing of Christmas parcels
and calling attention to the fact that
large numbers of trains have already
been discontinued on account of the
coal shortage and that further cur
tailment will certainly be made within
the next few days unless the situation
materially Improves, and that even
Should the mines reopen to capacity,
it would be some time before full train
service could be resumed He states
that the heavy mailing period from
December 18th to 25th will find us
with material decrease in train SER
vice and the heaviest mail that the
Post Office system has ever handled,
which will surely result in congestion
at depots and in post offices, trains
and terminals. The possibility of snow
blockades further interfering with
train service should be kept in mind
also.
This year more than ever before,
early mailing of Christmas parcels
should be the watchword. The late
mailing of parcels will very likely
mean that they will not reach their
destination until after the heavy
Christmas mails have been delivered.

the city Wednesday to attend the regu-
lar meeting of the asylum board of
trustees. II was Mr.. Cramer's last
visit to Wausau in the capacity of a
member of the board of trustees. He

taking member for twenty years and
during that time only missed one meet
ing and that was when he was ill in
the hospital. Last February, the coun-
ty board passed a resolution, intro
duced by Mr.. Ernie, that a trustee
could not succeed himself. Mr.. Cram
er'S term expired this fall and Mr..
Ernie was elected 10 succeed him. Mr.
Cramer will be missed from the board
for he took great interest in the work.

Cars more cars!

Cars more cars!
The clamor comes from every part
of the globe.
Ford dealers up to this time have
sold each car when they could have
sold a carload as easily.
The South getting $3.50 to 5000 bon
US on the sale of a new car has been
enticing new cars away from the
North by various complicated schemes.
Many Northern dealers have gotten in
to trouble by selling cars to purchas-
ers who turned out to be runners for
Southern dealers or shippers of cars
to the South.
In European countries the bonus
on new FOrds is from 5000 to $400 and
various schemes and subterfuges are
resorted to by customers to get cars
first
Ford dealers are fortunate; they
are getting a splendid quota of cars
and all are making money. Suppose
q Ford dealers customer wants "a
month or two for a sedan; some COM
panies are offering Spring deliveries !
1t is said that Ford cars sell them
selves; add trucks to it and one has
it right, especially during this era of
Ford trade prosperity.
All accessories and side lines are
practically selling themselves. Com
mercial bodies are literally pulled out
of the body factories by eager dealers.
Automobile manufacturers are being
limited in their output by reason of
the scarcity of bodies and parts. If
new manufacturer of autos went in
to the market today for bodies or GER
tain parts he would find the plants
visited tied up for a year or more on
present orders.
The Ford dealers have not been de-
TERED by the high cost of building.
They are erecting sales and service
stations in every part of the broad
land. and into these new buildings
millions of dollars worth of equip
ment and machinery is being placed.
Apparently the Ford trade at home
and abroad is starting on a period of

JITNEY LINES

A franchise has been asked of Stew
ems Point by what is known as the
Stevens Point Transportation line to
operate an exclusive jitney line. 1t is
proposed to run a jitney similar to a
street railway. Each ear will hold 25
persons. 1t has folding doors and
steps and it is the intention to reach
every part of the city. In view of the
fact that the street railway at Merrill
is likely to be stopped on Jan. 1st, the
people of our sister city up north are
looking into the exclusive jitney SER
vice. Wausau may have to come tc
few jitney lines to reach outlying
districts.

hard subject on which to talk Fri
day evening. The American people,
almost to a man, want the League of
Nations endorsed. They feel that there
may be few trifling irregularities,
but these can be remedied as time
progresses. Senator Lodge and his
cohorts destroyed the treaty by these
reservations and therefore the Lodge
resolution Of notification was defeat
ed, in the hope by so doing to prepare
the way for saving the Versailles
treaty
Senator Lenroot instead of creating
enthusiasm for the Lodge reservations
showed the more plainly to his audi
ence that the reservations destroyed
the treaty.

Five-Minute Man
VIII Speak Tonight

II. W. Lewis, one Of the men who
have organized $4,000 Methodist g.
minute men In America within a
few months, will speak at the First
Methodist Episcopal church in Ash
land this Tuesday evening at 500
o'clock.
DR.. Lewis is one OF the notable
figuers In Methodism. When only
a young preacher, earning $4,000
a year, lie was offered a salary Of
$4,000 a year to manage large and
successful firm. Even when he was
a student in college, a business man
offered to finance him and divide
profits.
Texas nominated him for COVER
nor but he was defeated. AS a
preacher, he has filled some of the
best known Methodist charges in the
country and everywhere commands
the highest respect among business
men as well as with those with whom
he is associated in church work.
DR.. Lewis is one of the best all
around authorities on the $1O5, ,O00,-
600 Methodist centenary. When
speaking here, he will explain the
purport Of the Gigantic movement to
evangelize and rebuild the world.
There is no aspect of the many af-
fectlng the Methodist centenary
with which DR.. Lewis is not person.
ally concerned. While he has some
times been styled sensational
speaker because Of the fact that
newspapers have often paid great
attention to his sermons, yet DR..
Lewis makes an earnest, appealing
figure in the pulpit.
