SUNDAY FIRST REAL DAY
OF SPRING

The first perfect Sunday of spring
was May 18th. Mothers Day was
ideally observed in Wausau and Mara
hton county. Sons and daughters re-
membered their mothers by little acts
of kindness, letters, gifts-and hun
dreds by the presentation of flowers.
Mothers day is nationally considered
equally Fathers day; an observance
for the well being and honor of the
home. The badge of the day is white
carnation and many persons wore
them Sunday, pinned to the lapel of
their coats.
President Wilson issued the first
Mothers Day proclamation in 1914, as
result of a resolution which passed
both houses of congress commencing
the observance of Mothers Day. Since
that time there has been a general OBJ
servance of the Sunday throughout the
United States. Appropriate sermons
were given in many local pulpits.
Services appropriate to the day were
held at the different churches in the
city, at the Universalist church, Rev.
w. ]. Taylor spoke on What Does
Your Home Mean to You?" At the
Presbyterian church Mr.. H. H. Davis
occupied the pulpit during the absence
of Rev. Williams. Mr.. Davis chose for
his subject, "a New Structure From
Old Plans and also spoke about
Mothers Day." Rev. FIR. E. P.
O'ToOle's sermon was in accordance
with the day. At st. Pauls church,
Rev. E. G. Grauer chose for his subject
Mother" as did the various Lutheran
church pastors.

NEW OWNERS OF FOUNDRY
AND MACHINE COMPANY

The Wausau Foundry and Machine
company, Plumer ST., and Prospect
Ave-, formerly conducted by Louis
Kraatz and his sons, Karl Kraatz and
the late Albert Kraatz, has changed
hands, the stock having been
purchased by John M. Howarth and
a number Of other prominent Wau-
sau business men. Mr.. Howarth is
manager of the enterprise and has
already commenced work in connec-
ton with it. He has been connected
with the Marathon Paper Mills COM
pany for several years, and has re-
signed his position with that concern.
For many years he has had a reputa-
ton as an inventor and has several
inventions in use, among them a DO
tatoe peeler, on which a patent has
been obtained, and which has been
declared one of the best food saving
devices invented. Had it been in use
at the start of the war, it is believed
millions of bushels of potatoes might
have been saved in army camps where
they were peeled in the old fashioned
way with knife, thus wasting half
the potatoe. Potatoes are peeled eff
ficiently and very rapidly in Mr.. How

IN memory Of her act the tent is

When night had fallen the wor-

God for the privilege Of starting
the colony and invoked the divine
blessing on the undertaking.

uninviting ground and the dingy
tent which provided them with
shelter.
