ROTARY CLUB is
ADDRESSED BY
JUDGE A. C. BACKUS

Judge A. G. Backus of Milwaukee
addressed the Wausau Rotary Club
Thursday noon following a luncheon
at st. Johns Guild Hall. THE Boy
Problem" was the subject. During the
course of his address Judge Backus
declared that not once in his fourteen
years as a Judge has a boy scout been
brought before the court. He praised
Judge A. H. Reid as a great friend
of boys, responsible for many good
laws in Wisconsin in the interests of
boys.
Crime, the judge asserted, was on
an increase because of the tremendous
unrest in the civilized world In order
to reduce crime, he urged work at
home and in the schools and through
the churches and the boy scout move
ment. Since 1907, Judge Backus de-
clared he had placed forty-one hun
dred boys and girls on probation when
they appeared before him in court. OF
this number only ninety-seven had
disappointed him.
Mrs. M. Vennema of Menominee
Michigan speaks before the club to-

CRAB GETS FOOD FROM TREE
Seems to Know the Law of Gravita.
tion and Exhibits intelligence
in Its Actions.

A crab that knows the laws OF
gravitation. climbs trees and picks
coconuts, is described by Frederick
O'Brien in his book white Shadows
in the South Seas" Relating some OF
the strange things he saw while on
the Marquesas islands, he says:
"These crabs are more than two feet
in length, and stalk about with their
bodies foot from the ground, sup
ported by two central legs. They live
in deep burrows in the cocOnut groves,
which they fill with husks, so that the
natives often rob them to procure a
quick supply of fuel.
"When darkness descends, and all
is quiet, the robber crab ascends the
tree by gripping the bark with his
claws. He will go up until he reaches
the nuts, if it be a hundred feet. With
his powerful nippers he sewers the
stem, choosing always a nut that is
big and ripe. Descending the palm he
tears off the husk. He tears it fiber by
fiber, and always from that end under
which the three eye-holdS are Situ-
ated. With these exposed he begins
hammering on one OF them until he
has enlarged the opening so that he
can insert the sharp point of one of
his claws into it By turning his claw
backward and forward he scoops out
the meat and regales himself luxuri-

POEM BY BILLIARD
FOUND IN G. A. II. ROOMS

Recently a poem was found in the G.
A. r. rooms in this city, entitled "The
Old Coffee Kettle" The author was
unknown to those who found it. 1t
turned out to have been written by the
late A. B. Millard son of Mrs. T. NJ
Smith of this city. Arthur Millard,
some thirty years ago, was one of the
well-known editors in Wisconsin. He
was on the program for G. A. R. en-
tertainment and at the close of his
remarks, he offered an original poem
which was in reality, a song to be
sung to the tune of "The Old Oaken
Bucket" The Amigo Journal, COM
menting on the poem, says: Another
incident of its publication at this time
is that it was printed just four years
ago today after the burial of its au-
thor in this city. Mr. Millard died
four years ago in Galveston, Texas,
and his funeral was on the anniver-
sary of his wedding day"

WOMEN Do NOT HAVE
TO TELL THEIR AGE

Some person, intent upon keep
ing the women from voting on election
day and thus lessen the vote favor
able to the league of nations, has put
in circulation a statement that wOm-
en- will have to give their age before
they can cast a ballot. This is not
fact, Men do not, so certainly it will
not be necessary for the women to do
so. Here is the law: every male or
female person of the age of twenty
one or upwards belonging to either
of the following classes who shall
have resided in the state for one year
preceding any election and in the cleo
ton district, either he or she offers to
vote such time as may be selected by
the legislation not exceeding thirty
days, shall be deemed the qualitica-
ton of such a voter" A voter may
be challenge ged-either AL man or wom-
an-if appearances indicate to the
challenger that the voter is under

CLAY SOLD BY MINERS
DECREASES OVER 1918

The quantity and the value of the
raw clay sold by miners to manufac-
turers in the United States decreased
in 1919 as compared with 1918. ac-
cording to Jefferson Middleton, of the
United States Geological Survey, de-
partment of the interior, the respective
decreases having been 21 per cent and
Is per cent.
Three kinds of clay, however,
showed an increase in both output and
value-kaolin, paper clay, and ball
clay-all of which are used largely if
not principally in the higher grades
of pottery. Fire clay, the product of
greatest value, decreased 25 per cent
in quantity compared with 1918, and
was the only one to show decrease in
average price, but the decrease was
only cents ton.
Imports
The imports of clay in 1919, as
shown in the accompanying table, in
creased 5 per cent in quality and GA
per cent in value. The only clay i'm
ported in large quantity was kaolin,
which constituted SS per cent of the
quantity and 81 per cent of the value
of all clay imported and showed an
increase of Z per cent in quantity and
70 per cent in value compared with
1918. The average price per ton of i'm
ported kaolin was $10.SS, compared
with $6.S6 in 1918. The importation of
common blue clay, which includes
high-grade clays from Germany, prac-
tically ceased in 1918, only 4 tons,
valued at S133, being entered in that
year. Unwrought or manufactured
clay, which is believed to be princi-
pally English ball clay, decreased II
per cent in 1919, but it's value increas-
ed 10 per cent. The average price
per ton of this clay was $6.0S in 1918
and $7.89 in 1919

SAMPLES OF BALLOTS
ARE IN HANDS OF
THE COUNTY CLERK

The samples of official ballots have
been received by the county clerk
There are three in number as follows:
The referendum ballot which is on
pink paper; the state tickets which
are on white paper and the presiden-
tial ballot which is printed on blue
Each is a distinct ballot. Attorney
General Blaine has ruled that as it is
difficult to obtain blue print paper,
some other color as near blue as pos
sible may be used, but not pink or
white under any circumstances. There
are 2,400 precincts in the state and
with the much larger vote which will
surely be pOlled with the women's
vote added, reports of the result can
not be accurately made for several
days after the election.

When Is a Party Not Party?

"How do you know that it is so?" "A
certain party told me-"
The foregoing conversation was over
heard recently. The second speaker
should have said, "A certain person
told me-" not, "a certain party"
This use OF the word party" for
"person" is quite common. but it is
condemned by all authorities on Eng
lish grammar as being incorrect. Some,
indeed, go as far as TO cali 1t vulgar.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the word party" meaning an in
dividual. has proper place in Eng
lish. We may speak of "a party TO
contract" or ''the party of the first
part" or "the parties to the marriage" !"
Woolley's Handbook on Composition"
gives the following sentence as an ex-
ample of the correct use of the word ::
'aThe parties to the marriage we're
both young" The following is given
as incorrect: The party who wrote
that article must have been a scholar" !"

fractured leg but had later neglected
its proper growth so that the two
pieces of bone instead of knitting to-

plea before the jury.
