FOR MAKING BUTTON HOLES

Here is a good Suggestion Tor max
ing buttonholes. First measure the
button to be used. then draw a line
upon the garment. This line, should
measure a very small fraction more
than the button. Stitch around the
line on the machine. For skirts of
coarse weave use mercerized cotton,
catching it at the ends and passing
twice over with machine stitching.
Then cut out the pencil line and use
the same coarse cotton for the but
tonhole stitch that is used for the cord
For making buttonholes on wool or
silk, the regular b1ttonhole twist
should be used

Rubbing Ruins

The age old custom of rubbing on a zinc wash
board has always been wrong and ruinous.
Rubbing is friction and friction always destroys

The scientific method employed by modern
laundries Of washing OUT the dirt by the pass
ing OF surging water and soap THROUGH the
fabric is correct and easy on the clothes
The hot water loosens the dirt, and the SOAP
acting as a lubricant keeps it from clinging to
the wet article and eventually carries it all
away.
Every operation in the modern laundry is easier
on the clothes than home methods
1t is WEAR ON THE PERSON that weakens
and finally destroys clothes and not the laundry.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce was held Mon
day noon following a dinner at the
Hotel Bells. The main feature of the
meeting was an address by j. D. Chris
tie, Supt. of the County Asylum, on
County Fairs and Their Good Along
Educational Lines to the People of
County" Mr.. Christie has for years
been secretary of the Marathon County
fair, and knew whereof he was speak
ing. He felt that the people, generally.
did not understand how fairs were
managed. Most of them complain of
the great cost of the races, attractions.
etc. He said that while upwards of
$4,000 is given in purses by the soci-
ETY., it only cost the society perhaps
5O per cent of that, as the horsemen
pay certain fee for entering and an
other fee for starting. The races fill
the grandstand and in this way the
races pay for themselves, as do the
attractions, which drew very large
crowds. The fire works pay for them
selves, as do the night exhibition of
ire works. In order to take care of
crowds a new grandstand was needed
and for the further fact that the old
one is unsafe.
He told of the reason why it was
urged up the county to take over the
talr grounds. With the amount asked,
$4,000, going into improvements such
as grandstand and stock pavilion
and the amounts offered by Mr.. C. C.
Yawkey, 100000, and D. L. Plumer.
$4,000 towards the improvements,
would make a permanent park that
will be a credit to the county. He
urged upon the county the taking over
of the fair grounds.
There were talks made by ]. ]. Ok
eneski, S. B. Tobey, and F. G. Swo-
boda on our fairs and the PROPOSE
ton made to the county board to pur-
chase the grounds.
At the close it was voted to petition
the county board to meet in special
session to reconsider the vote on the
purchase of the fair grounds, which
the board refused at the recent spring
meeting.

MRS. JAMES McCROSSEN
Passed Away in Pasadena, California,
Sunday Morning, May 9th, 1920

F.. A dispatch was received Sunday
morning from Pasadena, Calf, con-
veying the sad news of the death OF
Mrs. James McCrossen, which occurred
at her home in that city May 9, 1920,
at $50 o'clock a. N. 1t was a severe
shock to this community in which she
had made her home for nearly forty
years. Her kind, lovable, generous ma
ture drew to her the old and the young
and she occupied a warm place in
their hearts. During her life of activ-
ity in Wausau she welded large in
fiuence for good and she was con-
spicous figure in all movements for
the betterment of our city, as well as
assisting in devising ways and means
to help those less fortunate. The lat
ter was work in which she never tired.
She was preceded in death by her
husband, James McCrossen, a little
over year, he having passed away in
Pasadena, on the 25th day of April,
1919, and his resting place is in Pine
Grove cemetery in this city. The re-
mains of Mrs. McCrossen will be
brought here and placed by his side
on the family lot.
A dispatch was received this morn
ing by Mrs. Donald Gooding of this
city, granddaughter of deceased, from
Pasadena, stating that the remains &C
companied by relatives, would reach
here Saturday evening at 1920 o'clock.
No arrangements have yet been made
for the funeral services.
Mrs. James McCrossen was born in
the town of Sherman, Chautauqua
county, New York in 1896. She was
the daughter of ]. A. and Nancy
Jones. She came to Rural, Waupaca
county, when young girl and later
it was there that she met James Nc
CrOssen and was united in marriage
to him on the 4th day of July, 1853.
Mr.. McCrOssen disposed of his inter-
ests in Waupaca county in 1869 and
he and Mrs. McCrossen and family
came to Wausau the same year to
make this their permanent home.
They built the residence at the corner
of Fourth and Franklin streets, now
occupied by DR.. and Mrs. A. w. Trev-
lit and lived there most OF their stay
in Wausau. Their home was one of
the centers of social gatherings for
many years, when the members of
their family were entering upon the
life of young womanhood and man
hood. Mr.. McCrossen was one of the
most extensive merchants and lumber
men in the valley. He finally rounded
up his various interests and retired
For several years they spent their
winters on the South and West and
about thirteen years ago they pur-
chased a residence in Pasadena where
they have resided since, though they
always alluded to Wausau as their
home. Mr.. McCrossen was in his 91st
year when he passed away. They had
passed down the road of life together
for &C years. Deceased was a devoted
member of the First Universalist
church of this city.
Mrs. McCrossen is survived by one
daughter-Mrs. Ellen l. Thayer of
Everett. Wash, who has been residing
with her mother since the death of
her father. and three sons-J. A Nc
Crossen of st. Paul, Mimi; Charles A.
McCrOssen of Harlowton, Mont; and
Henry G. McCrossen of this city, all
of whom will be in attendance at the
funeral. Mrs. McCrossen is also sur
yived by one brother Royal Jones of

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The Waugonian club held its regular
meeting Tuesday afternoon. The re-
port of the nomination committee was
Tor next year will be elected. 1t was
suggested to publish a paper next
year every two weeks containing all
the news of the school, however moth
ing definite was decided upon.
The Science club is planning to give
party before the close of school,
Miss Haggerty of the University of
wisconsin gave talk and demonstra-
ton on dyeing and canning, Friday
morning. A dyeing club was organized
with Helen Reindl as president, Viola
Berg, secretary and treasurer and
Margaret Kelly senior advisor.
1t is expected that the wahiscan, the
school annual, will be on sale the last
week in May.
Saturday evening the Freshman
class held its annual party. A large
crowd attended, and games and dane
ing were enjoyed throughout the even
ing.
The carnival circus which was held
saturday afternoon on the school cam
pus, under the auspices of the Wau-
CONAN club for the purpose of in
creasing the scholarship fund was
splendidly partonized and was a big
success. At eight o'clock the hands
began pitching tents, and this was con-
tlued until eleven thirty when the per-
formers assembled for a parade. There
was everything to give the appearance
OF real circus from chariot riders to
elephants and the curiosity of the
towns people were aroused Shortly
AFTER lunch hour throngs of people as
sembled to witness the track meet, an
account OF which can be found in an
other column of the Pilot, and the cir
Gus, and the campus was crowded all
afternoon. Hawkers were in front of
every tent calling the crowd, and as a
result the fat lady, the thin lady, the
wild men, the magician, the ventril-
oqulst, the fortune teller, and all the
rest had their tents crowded with
spectators all afternoon. wild Nell"
a pantomime with a number of thrills
attracted most everyone and for lack
OF seats turned away many fun loving
folks.
However, the stand that received the
most patronage was the refreshment
stand where pop, ice cream cones, and
hot dogs were sold all afternoon. At
ter all settlements are made, the
amount realized will probably be about
seventy dollars. The carnival closed
the social events of the Waugonian
club for the year, but next fall the
work will again be resumed.
The annual Junior prom will be
given Friday evening, May twenty
eighth for the Juniors, the members
OF the senior class, and the alumni.
The students were very much sad
dened by the death of Evelyn Lund.
Evelyn would have graduated with the
1920 class and was a very popular
girl among her class mates. Notes
OF sympathy were sent by the senior
class and the Waugonian club, of
which she was a member. The senior
class planned to attend the funeral in
a body, and three of the boys were
to act as pail bearers. A page of the (
annual will be given in memory of |
her.
