TO HONOR FRANKLIN RUSS BUTCHER YANKS
U. S. TO CELEBRATE 21sTH BIRTH
DAY OF PHILOSOPHER.
Purpose of Observance Is to Eneour-
age Continuance of Nationa!
Thrift

Washington. Jan. 6. - Benjamin
Franklin, whose picture adorns the
1919 issue of the War Savings certifi-
Gates, will have on January This
213th birthday-one of the most unique
birthday celebrations ever undertaken
in honor of distinguished American.
1t will have the full backing of the
United States government.
The event will be celebrated through
special exercises to be held in the pub
lie schools throughout the country and
by various children's organizations.
More than 100000 War Savings socie-
ties will make the day a special one.
In these and many other ways the ma
ton will join in paying gigantic
tribute to Benjamin Franklin. whose
words of wisdom on thrift and saving
are familiar liz every American home.
The purpose of this birthday cele-
bration is to encourage the continu-
ance of national thrift. Americans,
prewar wasters, became notable savers
under wars pressure. Matchmaking
this newly acquired thrift habit is the
task undertaken by the United States
treasury. Wise buying, sane saving
and sane Investment are the watch
words of the 1919 thrift program.
Officials of the United States gov
ernment point out the necessity for
continued thrift. There are many
tasks in Europe to be completed; the
army of occupation must be main
tanned, and many hundreds of thou
sands of American soldiers are TO be
returned to their homes. The treas
ury department has therefore launched
program of education of the Ameri-
can people III thrift and saving.

Badger State
Happ enin9S

Wausau-The woodchuek is the
problem which is troubling officials
The county board voted to discontinue
the payment of bounty of 25 cents
for each woodchuck. In 1918 bounty
was paid on more than $4,000 animals.
The great amount of work attached to
the payment. the making out of certi-
fieates, ETC., frequently hampered
farm work of the town chairmen,
which resulted in the discoptinuance
of the boupty. Now it is realized that
the wooC chuck during the season will
CONSUME and destroy enough food to
provide for sheep. Another meeting
OF the board will be held soon and it
is thought the bounty will be re-
stored.
