HARRY BERGER BACK
FROM WESTERN TRIP

II. c. Berger, returning from an
extensive visit TO California and other
parts of the west coast, brings back
very favorable report of conditions
in that section. The family spent
some time at Pomona. Calf, and the
vicinity visiting friends and relatives
Of Mrs Berger. The climate there,
they state, is ideal, and the fruit crop
particularly of oranges and lemons, is
abundant. Prices throughout the Sec
ton are low. but in spite of that con-
dition there are evidences of consid-
cradle prosperity and no apparent
scarcity of money. Building, especi-
ally in the field of schools and public
enterprises, is active. in fact, MIR
Berger says, the amount of building in
both city and country is amazing.
The family spent week at Seattl,
with o. A. Berger. brother of Mr.
Berger, and found Seattle an enter
prising place. with business flourish
ing and apparently in very good con
dition, leaving with very favorable
impression of the people and posi-
bilities Of Seattle and the Northwest
But, after al" said Mr.. Berger
"Wausau, ia Wisconsin, is just lii
tie better than anywhere else"

OSHKOSH NATIONALS
NO MATCH FOR LOCALS
IN OPENING GAME

Wausau opened it's 1921 baseball
season Sunday by defeating the Osh-
kosh National team 20 to 4. The Osh-
kosh team came to this city highly
recommended and on their reputation
of last season, but in the game last
Sunday gave very poor exhibition OF
baseball. On the other hand the Wau-
sau team was made up of experienced
men who demonstrated throughout
that they were seasoned ball players,
but in order to hold the score under
thirty it was necessary to hold the
boys back and their real playing
strength was not shown in tae open
ing game. Reimer of Milwaukee start
ed the game for Wausau after Mayor
Emil Flatter pitched the first ball to
Fred Lillicrap, president of the asso-
citation. Reimer was relieved after
the third inning by Moran of Chicago
who in turn was relieved in the sew
enth inning by Devine of Fond du Lac.
While it was not necessary for any OF
the local pitchers to exert themselves.
it was shown, however, that Devine
was the only one able to hold a berth
on the Wausau team and he will be
in the box again next Sunday when
the locals play the Marion team here.
Four Home Runs
Goodwin, playing third base for
Wausau hit the first ball pitched for
a home run, and during the game Pol
Yin, Foug and Brandt also get four
base hits.
A crowd of nearly 1000 fans wit
messed the game, and they were we'll
pleased with the performance of the
local players. Between innings the
Tenth Regiment band furnished mu-
sic. The box score and summary fol-

Best Wood to Resist Decay.

The forest service says that this
cannot be determined, since various
species act differently in tropical and
temperate climates. Lignum vitae
probably comes nearer to living up to
this term than any wood in the world.
Generally speaking. the following
woods may be classed as very durable:
Black locust, cypress, greenheart, lig-
mum vitae, mesquite, teak and the
cedars.
