ADJ. GEN. H0LWAY FIRST LIEUTENANT
when LIGHT GUARDS WON COMPETITION

tains a four column article on the en-
campment. TO take any other than
first place would be a tasteless vic
tory" the article tells, when it reach
es the point where prizes were about
to be awarded, before $4,000 specta-
tors, "but to take the grand prize
how could they dare hope it? Shall
paradise roll back her gates before
the eyes of pinery boys? Listen to

Prize, Company G. CA mighty roar
went up from Chicago spectators--it
was surely their Company G.) Third
Wisconsin Infantry And every boy
of that company drew long breath
that was half sob.
Meant Much
"That meant a wonderful watch for
the captain and glorious badges for
every man and little fortune besides
in cash
Then to crown all came presently
the award of the splendid individual
prize to Pvt. Edward Fitzgerald, Cob
pany G, Third Wisconsin Infantry, as
the best drilled soldier"
The men who surrounded Adjt. Gen.
Holway tell of the Light Guard COM
pany with a great deal of pride. 1t
was an event of the utmost Importance
for Wausau to possess not only the
best guard company in the world, but
the best drilled individual soldier, of
whom this little verse of poetry was
written:
Fitzgerald was dandy
At the individual game,
IIe was first in line ~
The whole of the time,
And got there just the same.

GREAT DINNERS
MARKlTHEiDAY
CITIZENS ARE ENJOYING
A QUIET OBSERVANCE
OF THANKSGIVING

In every home in Marathon county
this is one of the most, important
days of the year-especially to the
youngsters who consider it their
special privilege to "eat themselves
sick. From the county Jail. where
Sheriff Schroeder presides, to the
county home and hospital, where ]. ID.
Christie directs affairs, all those per-
sons in the custody of the county re-
ceived a big feed this noon.
The Bells Hotel, the Wausau club
and other downtown restaurants found
the day a profitable one, for not all
persons, by any means, enjoyed din
ner in the solitude of their homes.
Family reunions were numerous and
until the latter part of the afternoon.
there was, of course, very little do
ing about town. The effects of Mr..
Turkey did not prove enlivening
County Home
Sixty patients at the county home
and seventeen at the hospital en-
Joyed the great repast prepared for
them. Just before the dinner, The
Pilot called asking for the menu, but
at that time it was not available.
We'll, | can't quite tell you what is
going to be served" said the person
who answered the phone, "but they
certainly are cooking everything un-
der the face of the sun down in the

How much it means to receive a

basket, containing supply of meat
and fowl, apples and candy, the av-

Portable living, can probably never
adequately appreciate.
When through the offices Of Mrs.
E. f. Stockum, secretary of the Fed
Grated Charities, and T.. E. Schneider.
poor commissioner of the city of Wau-
sau, seventy-five Thanksgiving baskets
were distributed to needy families
Wednesday, there radiated a kindly
glow Of gratefulness on the faces of
many, for they knew that they would
not be deprived of enjoying a sub
stantial repast today--the day on
which all are privileged, in a spirit
of thankfulness, to dine to their
hearts content.
More This Year
About fifteen more families are being
I5iscH ludhhSSiNlHS baskets inns year
than last. Baskets are going to some
individuals and families range in size
from two to eleven, averaging five per-
sons to the family. This means tina.
375 persons are to benefit by this
years distribution of baskets.
According to e. B. Thayer, who has
been custodian of the Thanksgiving
fund for many years, the donations
this year will amount to about 5000.
which will take care Of the expendi-
lures made in the purchase of food.
Chicken, apples, candies and beef
were placed in the baskets yesterday
and 1t is estimated that the cost of
each basket will approximate $500.
The baskets were delivered by au-
tomobile, Boy Scouts assisting.
Union services were held this morn
ing at the First Presbyterian church.
where the Rev. r. w. Eastwood
preached to large congregation. At
