No Injustice to Germany.
81 do not think anyone can claim
the terms imposed constitute injus-
tice to Germany" the premier said
in discussing the reparation clauses,
unless they believe justice in the
war on the side Of Germany. Having
regard to the uses GERMANY made Of
her army there is no injustice in
scattering and disarming it. IF the
allies had restored the colonies to
Germany after the evidence Of i'll
treatment of the natives, and the
part the natives have taken in their
own liberation. it would have been
a base betrayal.
"Then, take the trial of those re-
soonsible for the war. II wars of
this kind are to be prevented, those
personally responsible for them those
who have taken part in plotting and
planning them, should be held per-
sonally responsible. There the en-
tente decided that the man who UNI
doubtedlv had the primary respon-
sibility, in the judgment at any rate
of the allies, should be tried for the
offense he committed in breaking
treaties he was bound to honor and
by that means bringing on the war.
ut was an exceptional course, and
its a pity it was, because if it had
been done before there would have
been fewer wars. The allied coun-
tries unanimously decided that q
tribunal-an inter-allied onc-sh0uld
sit at London for the trial of the per-
son chiefly responsible for the war.
"Those guilty Of submarine out

POSTMASTER ASKS EARLY
MAILING

Postmaster Ryan states that all in
dications point to a heavier mail this
Christmas than ever before in the
history of the service. In view of the
discontinuance of many mail trains by
reason of coal shortage, there is sure
to be great congestion in the mails and
early mailing is imperative II parcels
are to- reach addresses by Christmas.
In order to establish safe day for
the mailing of parcels, the postmaster
has provided the following dates for
mailing of parcels going to different
parts of the country. If parcels are
not mailed at as early a date as pro-
vided below, there is strong hkeli-
hood that they will not be in the
hands of the addressee on Christmas
day.
Parcels for Washington, Oregon,
California, Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah, Wyoming, Montana and for the
western and southwestern states,
should not be mailed later than Fri
day, December 18th.

REAL ESTATE MEN MUST
HAVE LICENSES

Because the real estate business so
closely affects the. development and
the welfare of its residents, the people
of Wisconsin have declared that real
estate brokers and statesmen shall OBJ
tain licenses and be regulated in their
transactions with the public through
the Real Estate Brokers Board, Great
ed by action of the legislature.
Consequently, as provided by law all
real estate brokers and all real estate
statesmen are required to furnish the
Board with credentials establishing
trustworthiness and competency. At
ter January 1st, 1920 no real estate
broker or real estate salesman can do
business in Wisconsin without a Ii
cense.
Application blanks may be obtained
by addressing the Real Estate Brokers
Board at Madison. Separate licenses
are required for brokers and statesmen.
The fee for brokers' license is $1,000
and the fee for salesman,ss license is
5000. The work OF this Board is sup
ported by fees and not by taxation.

SHORTAGE OF CLOVER AND
ALFALFA SEED

Government crop figures show an
unmistakable shortage of clover and
alfalfa seed and he who would be
provided for is urged to take care of
his wants early. Farmers are urged
to buy or order as soon as possible
Merchants and dealers owe 1t to the
farmers who have looked to them in
the past for their supply, to see to it
that the supply is forth coming.
OF especial interest to Marathon
county farmers to know that they can
get the clover seed they need. Alfalfa
is a secondary consideration. Farmers
are cautioned not to wait until snow
begins to leave the hillsides next
March, before placing their orders.
See your dealer now. Tell him how
much yeH want. That will punch
him up.
Merchants and dealers are urged to
do their utmost and that plenty early,
to see that their customers are taken
care Of. No man can accurately es-
innate the loss of one clover crop to
Marathon Couny in feed and fertility.

Sturtevant who did it exceptionally
well especially considering the fact
that he had but one day to learn the

MENZNER'S planning MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE

| Once more the people of Marathon
were rudely aroused from their firm
sleep at about 2:45 Thursday morning
by the fire alarm from the village hall,
when Menzner's planning mill was dis
covered to be burning.
By the time the fire department
arrived, although they responded
promptly to the alarm, the flames had
made such headway that it was impos-
sible to save anything in the burning
structure and all that could be done
was to prevent the spread of the
flames to adjoining buildings and lum-
ber yards. Luckily the wind was
from the east otherwise it would have
perhaps been impossible to save the
adjoining retail lumber yard of the
Dawley Lumber company, the sheds of
which come within 16 feet from the
planning mill. The planning mill with
all its machinery and stock is a total
loss to Mr.. Menzner, the boiler being
the only part of the mill that is still
fit for use. During the past year Mr..
MenZner had made considerable i'm
proVements to his planning mill by add
ing new machinery to it so that the
mill now was better equipped and in
better shape than it had ever been
before.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000
one thousand on the building and five
thousand on the machinery and other
contents. The loss is not covered by
insurance. Mr. Menzner certainly
seems to be haunted by misfortune
About twelve years ago his entire lum-
Der yard was destroyed by fire, and
four years ago his saw mill was des-
troyed. During the past three years
ne had been doing a very successful
business and was recovering nicely
from his former reverses in business,
when now this new loss must befaIl
him again. But one can not help but
admire our village presidents pluck
and courage. Where other men would
give up in despair, Mr.. Menzner picks
up new courage and starts up again
with renewed energies, determined to
win out in the end in spite of all his
misfortune by fire Marathon

never seen her he is unable to find her.

HIT BY A STREET CAR OR
A MICROBE

A recent writer of popular medical
| books says it does not make much
difference whether one is hit by a
street car of microbe. The result
does not vary greatly. A noted ply
sician was hurrying across the street
ten days ago and street car struck
him, resulting in fracture of the
skull and other injuries. He is now
in hospital, but making rapid strides
to complete recovery.
A leading woman of Wisconsin. a
writer and educator of note, was sud-
denly stricken with pneumonia and
died in five days. Many of us carry
the germs OF pneumonia in our mouths
more or less constantly, and IL our
bodies are not properly protected
from the rigors of winter, or il we
overeat or are careless in other ways
about our living conditions, these
germs of pneumonia, set up. an active
disease and in a few hours our con-
d1tion may be worse than IL we had
been hit by street car.
pneumonia and tuberculosis are
causing far more deaths in wisconsin
than any other two diseases. The
death rate from tuberculosis is gradu-
ally and STEADILY diminishing because
OF the intelligent and persistent CAM
patgn carried on against this disease
tor the past ten years. The death
rate from pneumonia is not decreasing
put instead there. has been a slight
increase for several years and a big
one in the past two years.
Every one should know that pneu-
monia Is a contagious disease and the
ihIection is carried from person to
person. In the same manner that infee-
lon Is carried in ewhooping cough and
innuenza. The seeretions of the mouth
and nose of a person suffering from
pneumonia contain the germs for
weeks and even months after such a
person recovers from the disease. For
a long time he may be a menace to
those with whom he comes in contact

ALL VALLEY TEAM
PROFS. r. w. FAIRCHILD
AND C. F. WATSON OF STATE
NORMAL MAKE SELECTIONS

The AlI-Valley High School foot ball
team has been made by Profs. r. w.
FairchiId and C. F. Watson of the
State Normal school. These gentle
men refereed and umpired eight games
during the season in the valley which
included all teams except Amigo. The
team as given to the JOurnal-Gazette
of Stevens Point is as follows:
Right end, Hastings, Marshfeld.
Right tackle, STANCE, Merrill.
Right guard, Alton, Wausau.
Center. Wilson, Stevens Point.
Left guard, Hansen, Grand Rapids
Left tackle, Tantrow, Merrill.
Left end, H. Vaughn, Stevens Point.
Quarterback, Meunier, Grand Rap
ids.
Left halfback, Liljeqvist, Wausau.
Right halfback, Millenbach, Grand
Rapids.
Fullback, Oster, Stevens Point, capt.
AS will be noticed: Three are from
Stevens Point, three from Grand Rap
ids, two from Merrill, two from Wau-
sau and one from Marshfield. The
JOurnal-GaZette in giving the "rea-
sons for choice" says:
ALTON of Wausau and Hanson of
Grand Rapids are awarded the guard
positions Both were centers on their
respective teams. AS the season de-
veloped an unusually large number of
good centers they were given prefer
ence over persons playing guard on
the several teams. Both were among
the largest men on high school teams
in this part of the state this fall but
they displayed the necessary speed
and stiffness to make them valuable
men. Hanson was also valuable be-
cause of his ability to diagnose plays"
Further: Liljeqvist of Wausau, half
back, is termed undoubtedly one of
the headiest players on high school
football teams in the state He is a
good line smasher and good at open
field running and this combined with
his ability to pick off forward passes
makes him a valuable man for any
team"
