DEATH OF VIM. BENZ

One of the very sad deaths which
has occurred during the present
epidemic was that of William f.
Benz, who passed away at his home,
1926 Prospect Ave-, Saturday even
| ing at 6 o'clock, Feb. 18th, 1870.
Mr.. Benz was one of the most pop
ular and highly esteemed men on
our force of mail carriers, and he
was. to all appearances, in perfect
health. He travelled his mail route
each day, and took regular active
exercise at the Y. M. c. A. Being
inclined to take on weight, he felt
that this was the best course to
pursue. Yet, with all this, he has
been one of the few who have fallen
! a victim to the influenza during the
present epidemic.
He was taken i'll week previous
aud up to last Thursday, was get
ting along an well as could be expect
ed. He felt that he would be back
into the post Office by Monday and
sent in a word to that effect. Pneu-
monia developed and all that could
be done was in. vain. The sad news
as it spread throughout the city
could not be realized. Mr.. Benz, in
his daily rounds, for many years, had
endeared himself to those whom he
served. The children were his
friends and never tired of singing
his praises, in fact this can be said
of all who had transactions with
him. During the world war he made
many mothers heart leap with
10y when he telephoned OIL Sunday
or holiday that there was a letter
for her boy at the front, which he
had placed in the box at the post
Office. He was kind and considerable
of everybody and merited the es-
TEEN and respect which he enjoyed
in this community.
William f Benz was born in Wau-
sau on the 7th day of Feb, 1886
and died on his birthday, Feb. 7th,
1920. His home has always been
in Wausau. He entered the postal
service eight years ago and had
since been trusted employe of the
Wausau post Office, and while, from
choice, he had, much of the time,
been on carriers route he had re-
Gently been given the position of
postal clerk. He was member of
Forest Lodge No 1870, F. and A. M.
and was also a member of the fra
terual Order of Eagles.
He was united in marriage with
Miss Hattie Pradel, in Wausau, Oct.
I'd. 1911, by whom he is survived.
He is also survived by one brother,
Henry, and sister, Mrs Paul Ziels-
dorf of Wausau

Masonic fraternity conducted the
service at Pine Grove cemetery.

WOULD BREAK OLD CUSTOM
Modern Girl Not Satisfied With Sec
ond Place, Even When Inscribed
on Her Tombstone.

There's a certain Old cemetery out
in Jersey where, now and again, when
visiting friends the writer strolls
on Sunday. Many story fingers
about a neglected grave or a naughty
headstone.
But two very-much-alive young peo-
pie furnished her diversion one after
noon. They were engaged, that was
plain, and proud of 1t. Theirs was
happy silence, broken by the girls
clear soprano.
"Do you know, George, what I've
been noticing in this cemetery"
Apparently George did not.
"Why, on almost every tombstone
marking the grave Of man and his
wife, his name comes first, with hers
tucked mOdestly below. Take this" {:
And she read aloud, Thomas Spring
er. Died April %. 1912. Age eighty
five years. His wife Annie, died June
2, 1888, aged forty-three years. You
see even If the wife dies first her place
on the tombstone is at the bottom.
Isn't II queer"
George had evidently not bothered
much about tOmbstones. He'd been too
busy looking at her. But IT didn't
really matter much, he thought.
ooh. but It does" she argued. "It's
another attack on woman's hdivid-
uality Now, when | die, much as I
care for you, / don't want my name
to be a postscript on your tombstone.
Naturally George assured her that
it shouldn't be, and they strolled on,
in tune with the infinite and the
weather. 1t had been a glimpse Of the
twentieth century girl that would have
amazed Annie Springer, at rest be-
meath the moss-grown granite.

Integrity a Requisite.

Integrity is prime essential to real
success. One who is dishonest may
pile up money. but riches are not !m-
pOrtant without honor and the respect
of your associates. / try always to
keep my word, no matter how trifing
the circumstances. and never promise
what I can't fulfill. / insist that none
of our men make a contract that the
company can't live up to fully. ANY
salesman discovered making an agree
ment In which is inserted clause CIV
ing the company loophole TO escape
from so filling the contract, win be
given ten minutes notice. This policy
IS so well understood that we never
have to enforce the threat. never
forget that individual friendship. as
well as corporation good viii, is based
on confidence: and the foundation OF
confidence Is integrity.-Eugene O.

Wittenburg Friday evening by score
of 20 to 10. The team was without
Ziebell, for he had been i'll during the
week, but Notwithstanding this fact
a very good game was played, especially
in the second half. Kampine did
some excellant guarding, even though
he was put out for fouling, and it was
through his efforts that the opponents
lost many good chances for caging
baskets. The team work of both team

farmer to store from 80 to so percent
more fodder in the same silo than OBJ
tainable by any other means. To the
FARMER who has had sufficient silage
to feed up to the time of pasturage
this means that he can increase his
herd without requiring the building
of another silo. while to those whose
supply Of silage was not sufficient to
each beyond the month of March, an
ample supply to the beginning of the
pasture season is assured. Then the
real silage obtained with its nutri-
tious contents all in such form as to
easily assimilated will reduce the ex-
pense of feeding mill feeds, grain and
hay and still produce q milk flow as
rich in quality and great in quantity
as procured under forced feeding of
expensive feeds at very much lar
ger expense.
In designing the walking Silage
Tamper" it becomes evident that in
order to fully accomplish the task, the
machine would have to be construc-
ted in such a manner that the force
when applied would be from above,
the same principle as demonstrated
by man walking, for in this man
ner only was it possible to surmount
such obstacles rs presented by large
punches of the fodder as shot form
the delivery pipe. One great insult
ficiency of the man method was over
come by the machine stepping on all
the fodder, in this manner differing
from the man method, where in walk
F., ing about not all places were stepped
on, it left punches of the fodder I'M
compressed and full of air, facts that
can be observed by picking up bunch
es of the silage and breaking them
apart 1t will be found that all such
punches are held together by a mild
mildew mold. In feeding it is i'm
possible to separate those from the
general amount fed unless 1t is hand
picked, procedure manifestly i'm
possible of execution. In this re-
spect alone the Walking Silage Tam
per- will soon become necessary adj
junct to all machines used during the
important task Of filling the silo.

Fellow Diner Who Thought TO Have

Tables Turned

Turning the joke back on the other

One day he met a man named An

himself as "The Wizard of the North" "
Anderson lured Barnum to a dinner
at which both were strangers, and
thinking TO have a little fun, intro
duced Barnum to the assemblage as

Not the least taken aback, Bsrnum
gracefully acknowledged the introduc-
ton, aud bowling to the assemblage
said:
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know,
The Wizard of the North gives his
first show Monday night and as you
are now all my friends, l would like to
have you accept passes to see the
opening performance" and he began
writing passes as fast as he could.

could, but finally, with visions of hav'

audience, he finally weakened and @n-

the Philippines become the playground

season In Manila
In 1908 the first Philippine carnival
was held on historic Wallace Field in
Manila in February, when the climate
of the islands is at its best, and each
succeeding year there has been a larg-

The 1920, or Victory Carnival, will be
the greatest event of it's sort ever held
anywhere in the Far East

The Philippines are doing some Won

The Philippine government has fine ag-

composed entirely of Filipinos, is each
year making larger and larger appro-

There are hundreds of thousands of

fertile land than Japan-this in spite
of the fact that the population OF the
Philippines Is 100000 while that of
Japan is around 55,0O0,OOO There is
every reason to believe that some day
the Philippines will have a population
as large as that of Japan today. The
Filipinos are the only Christian people
in the orient, and their young men are
working night and day to prepare
themselves for the responsibility of
citizenship in the Philippine Republic,
