1t has been the opinion of many
that those who owned property on
lakes in Wisconsin also owned a GER
tain distance of the water frontage.
This is not so. The state ownes up to
high water mark.

at 1880. A program has been ar
ranged.
All large bill boards at highway
crossings, according to the state law,
must come down. There are several
I in Wausau that obstruct the view of
approaching trains also street cars,
and it will be enough to enforce this
law, for the good of the entire city.
This year there is no edict which
says we must have daylight saving"
Nevertheless there are many cities
making arrangements to put the same
into effect and nearly every city in
the county is feeling out the wants of
its people. VIII Wausau want to con-
tinue the practice it has followed for
the past two years? Now is the time
to decide.

On Easter day st. Omer Command

st. Johns church, the Rev. G. F. Hin

lent Prelate of the Commandery, con-
Quoted the services which consisted
OF ritual service as arranged by the
Grand Commandery of Knights Temp

music by the vested choir and Mrs.

tifully, king Ever Glorious" from the
Crucifixion.
At the conclusion of the ritual SER
vice Rev. Hinton preached a most
eloquent and impressive sermon to the
Sir Knights upon the Risen Christ,
His teachings and responsibility in
maintaining them. The chancel was
decorated with beautiful flowers and
potted plants and conspicuous were
the Knight Templar banners.
About fifty Sir Knights met at the
asylum and in full uniform, without

SNOW AND HIGH WIND

Again the Pilot is called upon to
tell of a "big snow storm" Follow
ing the season of very warm weather,
the temperature on Friday took a
drop until it reached the freezing
point. 1t had been raining for twenty
four hours or more and this turned
into snow, which was driven by a very
strong wind from the west. All the
afternoon, the clustering wind kept
the air so full of snow that a pedes-
train could not see only few feet in
advance.
Probably six inches of snow fell
and this was piled in high drifts so
that it was difficult to get about.
Trans were hindered from running on
time. This condition kept up until
Saturday morning, when it cleared up,
colder seemingly, than in the dead of
winter. There was more suffering
from cold on Saturday morning, we
belive than at any time during the
past winter.
Especially did the birds who had
recently arrived from the south get
chilled through and through. Several
robins perching and shivering in a
maple tree, did look Disguised and they
are not to be blamed. 1t kept up very
cold all day Saturday and Sunday.

COTTON IRREGULAR
BUT STAPLE WAS
HIGHER AT CLOSE
Heavy Rise in Liverpool
Spots Was an Early Sem
sati0n in the New York
Market

New York. December b. The cotton
market was irregular today but showed
generally steady undertone, and closed
steady at net advance Of to % points.
March contracts sold up to So SIC last
night Business was fairly active early,
but became very quiet during the after
noon, when scattering accounts seemed
to have been pretty well evened UP for
over tomorrow's adjournment.
The feature of the early news was the
sensational advance of 15S points reported
in the spot quotation at Liverpool, equiv
aient to approximately Sc per pound. Pri-
vate cables attributed this to buying by
spot shorts, who were attempting to
get cotton to fill out December ship
ments to Manchester, but the advance
failed to cause any excitement around
the local ring, and after opening at a
decline Of 2 points on May, but unchanged
to IL points higher on other months,
PRICES eased off slightly under realizing.
January advanced to 3.o5c and July
sold up to s2.75c, or about is to 80 points
ret higher during the middle of the day,
then turned easier under realizing with
later fluctuations irregular. There may
have been some selling on the advance in
bank discount rates and lower sterling
exchange, but these features seemed to
be pretty well overshadowed by the firm
er tone of the stock market and the bull
ish view Of the peace outlook

strictel by the holiday tomorrow, the tone
was steady and the market stood at net
advances almost the whole session
through.
Opening higher.> the improvement was
widened until it amounted to % to 40
points. Reactions carried the market off
to levels 2 points under the 20 points
over the close of yesterday but later
there were recoveries almost to the high
est levels. Closing prices were u to SO
points higher than the close of yester-
day.
Buying was stimulated on the opening
of the nervousness of shorts and their
desire to even up over the holiday. A
moderate new demand also came in be-
cause Of the strength of spots in the
Liverpool market. and the bulges there
in the near positions in the contract mar
ket Reports that the freight embargo
against this port was about to be lifted
helped to steady the tone. but without
arousing any great buying power. Bull
ish traders plainly were cautious because
of the money situation.

on middling of 4oc, spots iseing I'M
