HOSPITAL BOND
SALE is SUCCESS
S150,000 is INVESTED IN
ST. MARY'S NEW
ADDITION

The sixty day bond sale of st. Mary
hospital ended last Saturday when il
was announced that the $150,000 is
sue for the new addition to ST. Mary's
had been entirely disposed of and that
applications for several thousand dol
lars worth of the bonds woudld have
to be denied. The sales committee is
very much pleased with the excellent
response of local investors who have
complete confidence in the hospital.
On the committee were ID C. Everest.
Vassie Atherton, w. p. German and
Alfrd H. Zimmerman.
There were not only purchases of
bonds during this campaign, but in
many cases donations were made to
the hospital for the furnishing of vari-
'ous rooms and departments in the new
addition, which will provide modern
facilities of every sort The construc-
tion of the addition has progressed
with rapidity and there is every as
surance from the builders that it will
be ready for occupancy next spring.
During the coming months other do
nations will in all probability be made
by organizations and individuals for
the apparatus necessary for the new
departments of the addition The
sale of the bonds was helped very ma :
terially by the American National,
First National, Marathon County and
Citizens State banks and the Wiscon-
sin Valley Trust company.

BEN ALEXANDER
HOME FROM TRIP
MAKES LONG VOYAGE ON
LUMBER FREIGHTER
AS PURSER

After an ocean voyage of twenty-five
days, during which much over 1000
miles were covered by a 10000 ton
freighter, Ben Alexander arrived home
last Sunday Mr.. Alexander after go
ing west last September, signed up
as purser ON lumber freighter. His
experience on this trip from Portland
to New York would make an interest
ing narration.
The ship carried about a million
feet of lumber and an odd cargo
picked up at western ports, and the
Panama canal. The Panama canals
fifty-four miles are made in quick
time, pilots for each section taking
the ship through. The freighter on
which Mr. Alexander made the cruise
travelled at fourteen knots an hour,
making over 300 miles day, better
time than the average vessel of that
type.
Except along the western coast be-
tween Portland and Los Angeles and
along the east coast between Cape
Hatteras and New York, the ocean was
comparatively calm and good weather
was enjoyed. Mr.. Alexander tells in
terestingly of the men who made up
tHS ClCW. bhCll was a CSdh-
dinavian, first officer, who had been
on the ocean since he was eight years
of age. To Mr.. Alexander's answer
that he was going to Wisconsin when
he landed, the mariner responded:
"Oh yes, / know-that's somewhere
around Milwaukee, isn't it?'
Present conditions of business, ac-
cording to Mr.. Alexander, sometimes
make long trips from one port to
another necessary because of the diff
Guilty of obtaining cargoes. When
ever a freighter can obtain a cargo
at the point of unloading, it immedi-
ately takes it on and is out on the sea
in few days. Mr.. Alexander first
thought of making the trip to Japan
on freighter, but finally decided
that it would take too long time.
That there is much coastwise ship
ping going on at present, due to the
high railroad freight rates and the
fact that better time is made by water
than by land, made possible by the
Panama canal, was another statement
he made.

cue to give luggage as Christmas
gifts.
Bayarian Ware
The soft reds, blues and greens so
characteristic of Bavarian China and
the typical quaint all-over patterns
so greatly admired have led many to
suppose that Ravarian ware was very
expensive. Ordinarily it is little
higher than the ordinary but it's din
ner sets are exquisite and would
make superb gift
There are many other things. Some
body is always sure to give candy,
you say-but it's surprising how
quickly the box is empty when it's
passed around jolly gathering. And
there is going to be one jolly gather
ing after another-that means one box
of candy after another; so maybe af-
ter all you had better give some too.
Every man is enough of boy at
heart to make out in his mind at least
a list OF things he would like for
Christmas. And even though he
doesn't say anything you may be
sure he's got hosiery and shoes near
the top. Silk, wool, or Isle hose
a dozen pair packed in Christmas
box, make an excellent gift, or per-
haps a winter shoe of black Scotch
grain, built on conservative brogue
last with soft tan would fit the man.
A New Tie
A man likes to wear a different
tie every day or so; it's one of the few
ways he can get variety into his dress.
That's why he is always glad to get
new ties in the latest styles and pat
terms. College stripes in heavy ribbed
silks are the latest while knitted
styles are always good and in silk
neckwear there are patterns to suit
all tastes.
The butcher and the baker may
have gone to see in a boat as the
nursery rhyme tells, but the candle
stick maker must have stayed at
home to make the many Japanese lac
quered sticks that are to be found in
SO many stores this year They are
fitted up with bit of red ribbon and
a sprig Of holly. You will want the
cherry glow of one OF them for your
home on Christmas and as gift there
isn't anything finer.

CHILDREN ARE
SELLING SEALS
UNDER DIRECTION OF THE
SCHOOL TEACHERS AND
SUPT. TOBEY

The annual sale of Christmas seals
of the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
sociation, according to the local peo-
pie who carrying it on, has been pro-
crossing in very satisfactory way
during the past week. Only yester-
day one worker turned in $1,000 where
only $500 had been expected, accord
ing to Miss Genevieve Edmonds, man
ager, and in several cases this has
proved to be true.
: The canvass of business and indus
trial institutions has already been
bought enough stamps to carry them
through the Christmas season. Be-
tween December 18th, today, aud next
Thursday, December 22nd, children of
the public schools will handle the
stamps Under the direction of their
teachers and of Supt. S. B. Tobey The
children have been informed that they
must not enter business institutions
or homes if the latter have two Anti
tuberculosis seals pasted above the
door bell.
Competition will, of course, be keen
among the children of various school
grades and. this will complete the can
vass of the city, the results to be an
nounced Immediately following Christ
mas day.
Miss Mary Nicolls, director of pub
licity, points out the fact that it is
most desirable for children to partici-
pate in this sale of seals inasmuch as
it teaches them certain elements of
good citizenship, creating an interest
in work of national scope and i'm
portance. In addition, she points out,
much of the money that is raised To-
cally through the sale of the seals,
will remain in Wausau and will be
used in the interests of the children
who will be taught how health condi-
tions can be improved under the
health crusade, a department of the
Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis associa-
ton.

delighted with the invention and who
gave it their hearty approval.
With this issue we enter upon our
twenty fourth year. With age we have
gained experience and strength and
leave far behind the fond ambitions
of callow youth. In that sweet peri,
cd of our journalistic career we fer
vently awaited the time when our
mighty pen should electrify the world
and the genius which we intuitively
knew slumbered beneath our breast
would shine forth and dazzle the eyes
of all civilized nations. When we
could not mold public opinion, we
have reflected it. The trav-
elling minstrel shows and the circus
have robbed us of our time, the church
fair and rattle of our money and our
faith in nature has been shaken by
the delinquent who has beaten us out
of six years subscription.
A very pleasant evening was spent
by favored few last Tuesday who

MANY ATTRACTIVE GIFTS FOUND ON
TRIP THROUGH WAUSAU STORES

A great throng of people will COM
mence their final raids upon the stores
of Wausau for Christmas gifts this
coming Saturday and all next week
will witness a mad rush on the part
OF gilt seekers to prepare for the
greatest day of the year which falls
on Sunday, just nine days off.
1t is really wonderful how far a
few dollars will go toward buying
something tastefully designed for the
home, and many women like nothing
better for Christmas. Compotes, sweet
meat jars and candle sticks in blue,
rose and topaz are most popular with
them, and book ends, brass work and
odd bits of pottery that lend spot
of color are among the moderately
priced things easily found and al
ways priced.
Always i'm Vogue
Handkerchiefs become so much more
interesting each year, it's no wonder
they figure on all gift lists. OF course,
sheer white linen ones for women,
embroidered, monogrammed or deli
cately traceried in color, are always
in style but this year novelty ones
in solid color or clever patterns are
quite in vogue. Or mems handker-
chiefs in whimsical novelty colors and
palmer ones for children for school
use, may be done up in tissue paper
and holly ribbon for the Christmas
tree.
The Christmas gift for mother must
be expressing of loving thought. Odd
bits of furniture so beautiful in home
corners will give her rare pleasure for
many days. Electrical appliances to
make the home cares lighter, are of
all gifts, an expression of thought
and love. Books for lamplight leis-
ure, china, glassware, linen-all these
are most appropriate under the
Christmas tree.
You've heard of people going round
the world with only a suitcase and
while they did it probably to be
unique rather than because they didn't
own trunk, there are ever so many
people who would travel more COM
fortably if they had not only he@prop-
er luggage but the distinctive sort of
luggage in whose company they en-
joy being seen. All of this is your

BOARD OF EDUCATION

At the Monday evening meeting of
the city board Of education, the mem
bers had under consideration various
plans and means Of relieving the pres
ent acute congestion of public build
ings. One of the important decisions
made was to have member of the
state department of education, an ex-
pert architect, look over the situa-
ton and make recommendations An
addition to the high school which
would care for the situation for few
years was broached.
II is generally believed that IL a
representative of the state board of
education looks over the Wausau pub
lie schools, he will make some very
pertinent suggestions.

SEN. BIRD FILES
PLEA FOR WRIT
RODD'S REMOVAL TAKEN
BEFORE SUPREME
COURT

Consequent upon the action of Gov
ernor John ]. Blaine removing Hans
Rodd, sheriff of Oneida county. from
office on Monday last, Sen. G. B. Bird,
Of this city, attorney for Mr.. Rodd, left
last evening for Madison, and at ten
o'clock this morning filed an applica-
ton with the Supreme Court of Wis
consin for a writ requiring the coun-
ty clerk of Oneida county, who is
the custodian of records, to return
the record of Mr.. Rodd's removal to
the Supreme Court for the purpose of
determining whether the removal is
valid or void
This may mean that the entire con-
troversy, over which there has been
a tremendous amount of discussion
and publicity, will reach the Supreme
Court, to which body attorneys and
the greater part of the public felt it
should have been referred originally.
Blaine's Statement
The formal order removing Rodd
from office was filed Monday and inn
mediately sent to the county clerk
of Oneida county. Gov. Blaine, in a
5000 word statement summarized the
evidence as he interpreted it, declar-
ing that it showed IAN utter lack of
good faith and in fact shows con-
clusively bath faith"
The governor maintains that every
sheriff is directly responsible to the
governor in executing laws of the
state and that the constitution gives
tthe governor power of removal in case
a sheriff fails to do his duty. He as
serts also that Judge Reid became a
partisan in the proceedings, in vio-
latiOn of the express provisions OF sec
ton 1852 of the statutes, which pro-
hibits any judge of circuit court
from giving any advice or opinion in
any action, cause, or proceeding which
he has good reason to believe will be
brought in any of the courts OF this
state"
Must Be Obeyed
"The governor is charged under the
constitution with taking care that the
laws be faithfully executed" wrote
the governor. ut is impossible for
the governor to- discharge his consti-
tutional duty in any other way
through officers responsible to the
governor. A sheriff is directly re-
sponsible to the governor as an agent
of the state in executing the laws of
the state, and the only way by which
the governor can enforce that respon-
sibility is to remove the sheriff from
office when the sheriff fails to carry
out the directions of the governor.
Every order or warrant issued by the
governor, valid upon its face, and any
direction by the governor fair and
reasonable, must be obeyed by the
sheriffs of the state. The governor
is responsible for the administration
of the laws to the people, and not to
the sheriffs. In the granting of par
dons, the executive department re-
solves in favor of the validity of con-
victions under our laws by the courts,
and does not undertake to pass upon
the validity of conviction or SEN
tence. Pardons are based upon other
grounds"

FARMERS WARNED
TO PRESENT CLAIMS

The state department of agriculture
has issued warning to farmers who
have indemnity claims for infected
cattle slaughtered in 1919 and 1920,
that they must present their claims
for payment before January 1st. The
legislature of 1921 appropriated $27,-
900 to meet indemnity claims for
which the appropriations ran short in
1920, but the new appropriation c2-
pires with the year 1921. Those who
have unadjusted claims must hasten,
therefore. or they may never get their
indemnity.
