COUNTY AGENT LOCATES
OFFICE DOWNTOWN

County Agent F. G. Swoboda is now
occupying an Office in the basement
of the First National Bank building
Office equipment was moved over from
the Agricultural school last week
The new location is most central and
at the same time is also easily acces-
sible His telephone number will be
the same as formerly, 331S.
In its new location the Office should
be used much more for personal calls
than formerly. Farmers who come to
WausaH on other business will now
find it very convenient to drop in and
make their wants known Office hours
will be from $50 to II and l 80 to g.
While Mr.. SwOboda plans definitely on
being in the office only on Monday and
part of the time on Saturday, his sec
retary will be at the Office every day
at the hours indicated. She will make
note of the wants of callers and as
far as possible attend to them. What
she cannot, will receive Mr.. Swoboda's 8
attention OH his return.
In its present location calls at the
office have averaged scarcely one a
day. Practically every caller has COM
planned of the difficulty in getting to
it. The new Office largely does away
with this.

STORES TO OPEN AT
EIGHT
ALL DRUGGISTS. BUTCHERS
AND GROCERS EXCEPT
ED FROM NEW RULING

With the exception of drug stores,
grocery stores and butcher shops all
stores in Wausau viii hereafter open
at eight o'clock in the morning, as d
result of a new ruling adopted at a
meeting of retail merchants of the
Chamber of Commerce held last
Wednesday evening, and which went
into effect yesterday. w. r. Chellis,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, presided at the meeting
In the majority of retail business
stores the business transacted before
eight o'clock is not worthy of mention.
Perhaps a customer or two walks in.
The early morning hour merely proves
a convenience for few, but it is not
necessary, merchants feel. In the
case of drug and grocery stores and
butcher shops, especially the latter
two, an earlier opening would be
serious handicap, owing to the many
orders which must be arranged and
delivered before noon. The bill for
an eight hour day for women and a
limit of forty-eight hours a week,
which failed to pass the state legisla-
ture last week, was discussed at
previous meeting of retail merchants.
Consideration of it was eliminated
Wednesday as a result of the legis-
lature's action.
The action of Wausau stores in set
ting an opening hour at eight, is di-
rectly in line with what has been
done in many other cities throughout
the country, some of which have been
working with later opening hour
successfully for many years. At six
o'clock p. m, stores will close. Sat
urday evening all will remain open
for business, this being a custom that
many believe it would be undesirable
to alter

CANDIDATE CHOICE HARD
JOB FOR REPUBLICANS

The process of the elimination of
Republican possibilities for the pres
idency has commenced. In many cir
cles il is believed that Sen. Penrose,
as a leading. "Old Guard" aided by
Will j. Hays. chairman of the Repub-
liean National committee, will name
the next Republican standard bearer
The last was Sen. Hiram Johnson,
of California. Here's the latest news
from Washington along the gossip
line:
"a strange friendship has sprung
up between the Pennsylvania senator
and Sen. LaFollette of Wisconsin II
is noised about the capitol that if a
progressive is to have the support of
Sen. Penrose the Wisconsin senator

SUPT. S. B. TOBEY WILL BE
LOCATED IN THE NEW
CENTRAL SCHOOL.

s. B. Tobey, superintendent Of the
Wausau public schools, will be To-
Gated in the new Central School
Building when the school year for
1919-1920 commences. Miss Olga
Heinrich, who has been at the high
school for a number of years as sec
retary to Mr.. Tobey and Ira C. Pain
ter, principal, will also De located in
the new building.
Equipment Arriving.
Machine after machine is being in
stalled in the basement of the Central
School building, where the Vocational
School is to be located. A finer,
healthier and more sanitary place for
the location of an industrial school
could not have been selected. The
rooms are large and airy, the ceilings
high and the windows placed in such
a way that light floods them all. Six
large rooms are to be used as machine
shops, woodworking shops, drawing
room, etc. In addition at the north
of the building the basement is es-
pecially deep, about eight feet below
the floor. A wood platform has been
erected in this room to be considered
a second story. There the plumbing
shop is to be located and those learn
ing that trade will be instructed in a
practical way.
AS a result of the recent bond issue
of $4,000 authorized by the common
council, equipment has been purchas-
ed. Two large lathes, number of
large motors, emery wheel and other
machines have already been set in
place and more are expected daily.
Girls Not Neglected.
But with all this preparation for
boys, the girls have not been forgot
ten. On the first floor much of the
space is to be used for domestic sci
ence rooms and cooking. Tables have
been set in place in one of the rooms
and it assumes the appearance of an
immense cookshop. Modern equip
ment will be installed throughout.
AS one walks through the building
the thought cannot escape: What
difference in this modern school
building with excellent light, perfect
ventilation, and plenty of room for
each individual student, and those
other older buildings still in use in
the city," One of the improvements
especially noticeable is the chalk tray
under the blackboards. A wire net
ting provides the tray and suction
from below draws all chalk dust fall
ing from the blackboard, preventing
the unhealthy distribution of this in
the air of the room. Indirect light
ing is used throughout the building
with pure white ceilings which will
reflect it efficiently.
The new Central School is beauty
and Wausau can well be proud of it.
The Vocational School will be enabled
to handle many more students than in
the past and will give a greater vari-
ETY. of instruction. The opportunities
for extension of work of this nature
are great and in the near future Wau-
sau may be able to boast of its ad-
vancement along this line.

MAILING BOOKLET BY "AN
AMERICAN" IN COUNTY

A pocket pamphlet, written by can
American" is being mailed to many
persons in Wausau and Marathon
county. The booklet contains ques-
tions and answers regarding "Bolshe-
vism." The questions in many cases
are of acute interest to local people.
Following the completion of this part,
the booklet contains a copy of the
Russian Soviet constitution, which it
declares is being distributed through
out this county by Socialists. That
the Socialists of the United States are
in accord with the Bolshevists of Rus
STA, the writer states, is most likely
because the former are distributing
printed matter dealing with the work
of the latter.

FALL ON SUPT.

Every school in Marathon county
will in another week and half bear a
name by which it will be known
throughout the state No two schools
in the county may have the same name
and up to this morning there was as
amusing bit of haste on the part of
some school boards to see that their
Lame$reached the Office of the county
superintendent of schools, ], E. Gies-
sci, Lsfore the other fellows. Despite
this &ar, Gessel believes he may be
obliged to name over 100 of the rur-
al schools, the boards having appar-
emily overlooked the recent legisla-
'ture statute requiring their selection
of d name by July II, to be reported
to the county Office by the 22nd. Supt.
GiassePs report will be ready about

select name on the part OF both cleo
tors and school board, the county sup

GUARD COMPANY IS
To BE FORMED
CIRCULATING PETITIONS
AMONG MEN IN HOPE
OF TWO COMPANIES

The recent announcement Issued at
Madison by the Adjutant General OF
the state, Orlando Holway, relative to
the reorganization of the Wisconsin
National Guard which two years ago
became a part of the great fighting
force of the United States and went
under federal supervision, have led
to the circulation of petitions among
Wausau men. Sixty-five applicants
for the new national guard company
which it is hoped to have organized
in Wausau shortly are necessary as
nucleous.
AS soon as this number of men have
signed the petitions, state represent
atiyes will come to the city to mus
ter in the new national guardsmen.
1t is the hope of the state to form two
men are given an opportunity to en-
! companies here. Returned service
list for one year, their experience, it
being figured, being Invaluable to raw
recruits, the enlistment period for
whom is three years. That the new
company may bear the name, Com
pany G, is hoped by many, thus re-
tanning the name of the WauSau or
ganiZation which when trouble with
Mexico brewed served valiantly on
the border and later, when war with
Germany became an actuality, dis
played such exceptional ability on the
field of battle in France.
Ten Regiments
Ten regiments of national guard in
the state is the aim at Madison. Prior
to the war there were but six and
during the war, when the state guard
companies were organized four was
the number. Members of the present
state guard may enlist in the new ma
tional guard for period of one year.
That the Tenth Infantry Band may
remain permanent addition is anoth-
er hope of local people. The Tenth
Infantry Band has been developed in
to one of the finest military musical
organizations in the state. The mem
bers are to be asked whether they
care to continue and if enough agree
ed to Madison. Commissions will be
granted to those persons who served
in the-U. S. Army as officers, formerly
with the regular army, the national
guard or who obtained their COM
missions any other way. In the local
company it is understood that officers
may be elected. The petition reads
as follows:
For the purpose of reorganizing
unit of. the Wisconsin National
Guard at Wausau, the undersigned, of
military age and residents of Mara
thon county, Wisconsin, DO hereby un-
dertake and agree to be enlisted in
said guard for the period set opposite
their respective names, such enlist
ment to be accomplished as soon as
practicable after 65 qualified persons
have signed this agreement"
Big Experience
For many who were unable to enjoy
the privilege of service in the United
States army during the war, the new
just the thing to afford them military
training. The constant drill, which is
not long at any single period, provides
a necessary exercise. The summer
camps, which are held at Camp Doug
las, prove an outing that is enviable.
Few regret their service; the state
guards who served continuously dur
ing the war served with enthusiasm
there are many men who were not IN
the service who would do we'll to join
