happiness and advancement of others,
and especially that which would be
for the general good of the city in
which he had chostn his home Those
who had the honor of Mr.. Baumann's
acquaintance will ever revere and che
rish his memory.
Born in 1889.
Richard Baumann was born in
Thurevig, Germany, on September
gath, 1899, and he was therefore in his
S1st year at the time of his DEATH
He was the son of Henry and Wilhel-
nina Baumann. He remained in his
native country until 20 years of age,
acquiring splendid education and
learning the trade of tinsmith, then
coming to the United States in 1859.
Mr.. Baumann settled in Milwaukee
where he worked at his trade until
1864.
1t was at that time that Jacob Paff,
merchant of this city, induced him
to come to Wausau to operate hard
ware store and tin shop. This he did
for Mr.. Paff for two years when he
purchased the business in which he
continued until the time of his death.
He purchased the building and
grounds on Third street now occupied
by the Baumann Hardware company,
and in 1880 the old building was
moved from the lot to make room for
larger and more.pretentiou one and
the business was organized as a cor
poration. The old building, in which
he commenced business, is still in ex-
istence, at the south west corner of
First and Forest streets. The lower
floor was used for the business while
Mr.. Baumann occupied a part of the
upper floor as his residence.
Mr.. Baumann soon became known.
not only in the city, but throughout
the county and his business grew ra-

NEW YEAR GETS GAY WEI COME

the reading room and lobby of the
association were filled with visitors
all day long. 1t is estimated that over
400 boys piled in and out of the build
ing during the afternoon, and there
were many men visitors.
In the boys department exciting
contests were enjoyed. about seventy
five boys participating in them. Boys
Director Mock was on the job every
minute and declared that he had his
hands full in carrying out the five
tournaments of the afternoon. El-
dred Perske won the pool tournament,
which was the most attractive per-
haps. The boys who had registered
for this tournament were each given
definitg iifne to appear on the scene
and to take part. Everyone of them
was johnny on the spot The in
terest in this tournament was mani
tested by several incidents during it,
One of the boys had been on the
gymnasium floor during the afternoon
and through some mis-step had
strained his ankle. Although it was
extremely painful for him to walk
about, he insisted on being permitted
to play his turn in the pool tourna-
ment. He hobbled about the table
and though not winning, demonstrated
the enthusiasm with which the boys
worked to win. Another lad was so
eager to take part that he left the
gym floor with his gym clothes on to
play his part in that tournament.
Other Winners
Table baseball is game which fas-
cinates many of the boys at the asso-
citation. Much interest was demon
strated in this tournament and the
imaginary team of Roy Andrews won
the baseball pennant. 1t was an excit-
ing affair. Just imagine the two teams
scheduled to play for the pennant;
both tied the deciding game. The
time limit was extended five minutes
and the two tied again; another and
third extension Of time were grant
ed and still the two teams remained
tied for first honors. Finally, by one
score Roy managed to win the cham
pionship. At billiards Leonard Bissell
proved to be the Y. NJ C. A. junior
champion. Herman Flieth was victor
ious in the checker contest and
Charles Severson won at shuffies.
Light refreshments were served by
the Ladies' auxiliary of the Y. NJ c..
A., the committee which performed
the work being headed by Mrs. A. T.
Marceau.
In the gymnasium the regular Sat-
urday afternoon classes played bas-
ket ball, indoor baseball and volley
ball, under the direction of Physical
Director VIM. A. Paff.

hsns of visits made to the schools of
the county by Mr. Giessel was 391, FL
sa Mueller 157 and Ralph 0. Paff 157.
Enrolment 1O,0S6
One of the interesting figures con-
tanned intthe report is that of the total
enrolment IN the county schools,
which is 10,0S6. The rural schools
number 201, whit there are high

Concluding the report, Supt. Giessel

my seventh year in your service as
superintendent of the schools of Mara
thon county. During the six years
that it has been my pleasure to work
with you, you have shown constant
support and cooperation. AS the

PROOF OF PUDDING
is In THE EATING

proof OF the pudding is in the eat
ing Is an old saying that groups of
Marathon County farmers are putting
into practice on the subject of limiting
their soils. At Hatley one day last
week group of six farmers ordered
two carloads. At Elderon the next
day five farmers ordered forty-six
tons. Mosinee farmers have already
unloaded carload.
Order Early
While it is still a far cry to the
spring planting season farmers have
learned from past disappointmtnts
that to have the lime stone when
wanted, orders should be placed early.
The county agents office is urging
farmers in other parts of the county
to get together now. A minimum car
of lime stone consists of thirty tons.
The best price offered to date on fine
ground is on the basis of around $3.50
per ton at local stations with small
cost of supervision of distribution ia
ken care of.
If any farmer who is interested will
write the county agents office, help
will be given in working up a car load
order.

At private homes, the clubs and
public halls of Wausau the New Year
was gayly ushered in and with no
remorse Father Time was permitted
to carry away with him the last re-
mains of 1920. AS usual people sat
up just ''to see the Old Year out and
the New Year in" Dances were the
vogue of the evening.
At tht Bells House almost $50
couples enjoyed an elaborate dinner
and dance given under the auspices
of the B. P. o. Elks lodge, No. 24S.
The banquet tables and dining hall
at that hotel were attractively de-
corated and after the repast dancing
was enjoyed.

formal ball on Friday night, and mem
bars of that organization danced the

ais who had forgotten that II M.

some very important thing had taken
place. Dancing was discontinued at
1:00 a. m. On New Years night an
informal dinner and dance was en-
joyed, music being furnished by the

Svunty Superintendent of Schools, j.
E. Giessel, which has been submitted
to the Board cf Supervisors. During
the first four months of the year we
were constantly in the field for teach
trs to fill vacancies caused by resig-
nations, and during the next four
months the problem confronting us
was one of finding teachers to fill
the schools for the present term. The
supply of legally qualified teachers
was far below requirements.
Weak Teachers
1T is obvious that this shortage of
teachers resulted in getting some
weak teachers on the force.

MARK E. BELLS
RETURNS FROM TRIP
TO PERUVIAN MTS,

Mark Il. Bells and Lawrence Lin
demann, of Chicago, who left Wausau
last October for Peru, returned to
the city on Wednesday, to remain in
the United States several months af-
ter which they expect to return to
South America. The young men first
went to Lima, but not finding exactly
what they wanted, went into the An
des, locating at an elevation of 15,-
900 feet There Mr.. Lindemann's
heart suddenly gave out and after a
month the two We're forced to return
to the seacoast.
Hardly Civilized
only about fifteen per cent of the
Peruvian population is white" Mr..
Bells told a Pilot representative.
"The rest are of Indian extraction or
pure bloods. There are few Chinese
IN the country but / saw no Japanese.
The country is just in the first stages
of civilization, and while there are
tremendous potential resources, very
little development has as yet taken
place. The people are not familiar
with modern ways of living; they
hardly know what sanitation is and
much less are they acquainted with the
conveniences of our everyday life.
"The Andes are the most bleak, un-
inviting mountains have ever seen.
They are Just huge hills OF rock
and stone-hugs piles of every
metal found on the face of the earth.
There is no sign of vegetation and
little wild life is seen among the
mountains in that part of the world"
Potential Resources
Mr.. Bells and Mr.. Lindemann are
enthusiastic about the potential pos
sibilities there and especially speak
of the great tracts of land that are
available for sugar cane. The land,
they declare, is the finest in the
world for the production of sugar
cane. In Peru, however, there are
no refineries and what sugar cane is
produced is sent out of the country
for refinement.
On their return the boys hoped to
visit Mexico, and to that end they
went to Havana, Cuba, where they
thought arrangements could be made.
But passports to Mexico could not
be obtained, recognition not then hay-
ing been accorded the Mexican gov
ernment by the United States.
