100, twenty-nine families reside in the
county. There were ITO investiga-
tions and visits made during the thirty
day period and 1863 garments were
distributed. An important piece of
work was taken over by the Federated
Charities last month from the Chill
dren's lnfirmary, the serving of meals
to detention children. In October 1876
meals were served after the fifteenth
of the month.
Twenty-four pairs of shoes were
given away, eleven pairs repaired.
Help wanted brought six inquiries and
positions wanted brought seven. One
person was sent to the sanatorium.
Big Distribution
Conditions as they appear to both
the poor commissioner and the Fed
Grated Charities, mean that there must
be large distribution of baskets on
Thanksgiving day to make the sea-
son happy as it can be made for those
persons who are without a means of
livelihood. Baskets are to be distrib-
uted by the Federated Charities and
the poor commissioner. Checks or
gifts to the Thanksgiving fund raised
each year may be given to the cashiers
of any of the banks, the Wisconsin
Valley Trust company, or to E. B.
Thayer, who has acted as treasurer of
the fund for number of years.
1t will be the endeavor of welfare
workers to reach all who need assist
ance and lists will be carefully made
up to see that all of whom either the
poor commissioner or the Federated
Charities are aware, are the recipients
of Thanksgiving baskets.

GRAND JURY
Is UNNECESSARY
REPORT ENFORCEMENT OF
PROHIBITION IN
COUNTY

Thirty-four prohibition cases have
been brought to successful conclu-
sion by District Attorney George j.
Leicht, according to an announcement
he made before the county board al
its session Tuesday morning, when
it was announced that this number OF
yiolators of the law had paid to-
tai of 81 400 in fines, or an average OF
2l7 each. There are now twenty-one
cases pending in circuit court, and
this week an average of three a day
have been apprehended by prohibition
officials
A communication from the grand
jury for the western district of Wis
consin suggested that there might be
need for a grand jury in Marathon
county. This was refuted by Mr.
Leicht who said that the law was be-
ing fully enforced locally.
Cannot Hear All
Following is the communication re-
ceived from the grand jury: 1.-THE
grand jury at a special session of the
United States District court held al
Madison, Wisconsin, on September 26
after the experience it has had in the
matter of hearing testimony in re-
gard to the enforcement of the Nation
al Prohibition act,sets forth as its find
ing that violators are so many and re-
peated that it is impossible for this
body to review all OF such viola
tions that have occurred recently in
the western district in the short time
that II has been in session.
1t also recognizes that there Is
great need for cleaning up local con
ditions in different communities OF
this district and the grand jury is
inclined to do all that is asked of it.
The United States grand jury also
finds that in some localities in the
state, state and municipal officers are
hindered in their work and have not
sufficient support of all the officers
sworn to enforce the law and that
1t, therefore, recommends that where
such conditions OF non-support on the
part of officers is noticeable, county
officials endeavor to in their respec-
tive county to hold sessions Of local
grand juries as provided for by the
state statutes, for the purpose OF aid
ing its officers in enforcing the law
and to overcome the difficulties pre-
Senleu ny local condltlonS.
Want Assistant
1t was suggested before the county
board, the first day of its session.
that Mr.. Leicht be given an assist
ant or that his salary be increased
to permit the engagement of assist
ants when necessary. Before the ad-
Journment of the board some such
action may be taken.
There are no less than forty-eight
criminal cases on the circuit court
docket this year. All of the defend
ants in prohibition actions will be
arraigned next Monday, according to
M. Leicht, and those who plead guilty
will then have their cases definitely
placed on the docket The regular cal
endar will be called at ten o'clock.

POOR OF CITY WILL NEED MUCH
ASSISTANCE SAY CHARITY WORKERS

"The winter of 1921-1922, / expect
to be the hardest from all points of
view that we have experienced dur
ing the eighteen years that | have
been poor commissioner" F. E. Schnei-
der, poor commissioner, told The Pi-
lot in an interview when questioned
about conditions. "The city cannot
let people starve, and as there's no
work in many quarters, it means that
our dependent list grows longer from
day to day"
From Mrs. E. F. Stockum similar
information has been obtained. She
declares that the winter of 1913-1914,
when many men were out of employ
ment, was the worst in all her expe-
rience and that more was required of
the Federated Charities during that
period than ever before.
Poor Start
With many families starting the
winter after the men have been out of
work for months, she anticipates much
hardship and the necessary extension
of the work of the Charities during
the coming months.
During the summer months the Of
fee of Poor Commissioner Schneider
assisted about thirty-one families, or
139 people. During September this
number had increased to about forty
families and about l65 people Since
that time there have been further in
creaSes.
The report of the Federated Chari-
ties presented at the meeting held
last Tuesday night, showed that 100
families had been given aid during
the month of October and that of the
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1921-11-17
COUNTY BOARD
IN FALL SESSION
DELIBERATIONS OF WEEK
STARTED ON TUESDAY
MORNING

The Marathon County board, which
convened in reuglar session Tuesday
morning at eleven O'Clock, has yet
before it the most important of it's
fall business, the completion of the
budget for 1922, and the estimate of
expenditures on highways. Accord
ing to members of the board every
effort will be made to make the bud
get lower than last year and Judging
from estimates thus far made, the
expenditures for next year will not
show an increase over the year past
and there may be decrease.
On Tuesday Chairman Frank Gaetz-
man called the board together, and
Immediately work was commenced.
Two new members of the board were
welcomed, Jesse Witt, of the town of
Bergen, succeeding G. F. Daul, and
John Petarske, of Norrie, succeeding
o. F. Knoke.
Letter From G. A. r.
A letter from the G. A. R. at Madi-
son, relative to the law which re-
quires the constant care of the graves
of all veterans, was read and Super
visor Thayer moved that it be filed
and that copy be forwarded to all
members of the board, county clerks
and officers, which the board voted.
Supervisor Chesak moved that all bills
be referred to the proper committees,
to be reported later, and his sugges-
tion was carried out.
A communication from Governor
Blaine was read, in which the execu-
tive declared that inasmuch as he is
obliged to make many recommends
tions to highway contracts, he hoped
county boards would make complaints
when actions met with their disap-
proval.
The Bank of Athens requested the
board to make it a depositary Of coun-
ty funds and the matter was re-
ferred to committee for considera-
ton.
One of the most important decisions
of the Tuesday morning session, was
the announcement that grand jury,
to consider prohibition enforcement
cases in Marathon county, is unneces-
sary inasmuch as the law is now being
thoroughly enforced. District Attor-
ney George j. Leicht told of the eff
fort that was being made to enforce
the law and declared that such a jury
was not needed. Chairman Gaetzman
suggested that Mr.. Leicht might need
an assistant in carrying on the work
of the district attorney because of
the added number of cases he now has
to handle.
Verbal Reports
In the afternoon the reports of the
Misses Emerson and McGorty, county
nurses, were read and approved and
Supervisor Hilber's motion that they
give verbal report in January, was
carried by the board. The election
of a county asylum trustee, a trustee
for Mount View sanatorium, a member
of the Training school board and a
janitor for the court house were made
