greatest playground in all northern
Wisconsin, if c. A. Christanson, ma.
nager, carries out the extensive pro-
gram of improvements and added
features he already has arranged Re-
turning from a "trip to Chicago, Be
lott, Janesville, Racine and Mflwau-
kee on Sunday last, Mr.. Christianson
announced that he had arranged for
the use of hydro-aeroplane all sum
mer. 'e
AS soon as the weather permits and
Lake Wausau opens up, c. Z. Nelson
of Beloit will fly to Wausau in his
hydro-aeroplane and will remain at
Rothschild park through the season,
making, sight seeing trips with pas
sengers from that point.
.l rs, Tourist Camp
The arrangements for tourist

anticipated this will be the biggest at
traction at Rothschild. The camping
grounds will be located at the north
end of the park facing the Wisconsin
river and the equipment will consist
OF tents brick campers stones, cleo
trio lights and every other conven-
fence necessary to assure the comfort
of overnight guests. The driveway

built as well as new slides, high dive
and water shutes.
Convention
While away Mr.. Christianson at
tended the annual convention of the
National Association of Amusement
Parks at Chicago. "The convention
was replete with many interesting
discussions" Mr.. Christianson told a
Pilot reporter. People of today al
ways need outdoor recreation and en-
tertainment and the amusement parks
afford the best access to bathing
beaches, providing also every conven-
fence. This matter was discussed
and park managers were unanimous
in their belief that outdoor pleasures
be made as attractive as possible. The
part children play in parks was also
agreed to be most important and park
managers felt that it is one Of their
duties to make the visits of children
with their mothers to aour parks in
teresting and attractive, of such a
character that mothers would be rest
ed by an afternoon in the open rather
than wearied. 1t was suggested that
play grounds be provided for chill
dren.
"The so-called Blue Laws, which
are now being discussed in some thir-
ty-five states, were taken up before
the convention, and the amusement
men were quite unanimous in their
opinion that the public would not sub
nit to fanatic laws of this characte err

MAY FORM BASEBALL
LEAGUE OF CENTRAL
WISCONSIN CITIES

Baseball representatives of eight
different cities and villages in the
Wisconsin river valley met at The Bel
lis house Sunday afternoon to discuss
the possibilities of forming league
for Sunday and holiday baseball
games. After discussing the advan-
tages as we'll as the disadvantages of

a league is formed it should take in
eight cities and villages as follows:
Wausau, Schoiield, Merrill, Toma-
hawk, Mosinee, Stevens Point, Wis

view of the fact that many of the
representatives were not authorized

details of forming the league were
laid over until Wednesday, March 2,
when one representative from each
town Is invited to meet at the Bells
house in this city to form the pro-

SOME WOMAN DOMINATES MEMS
IDEAL REV. EASTWOOD SAYS

wood spoke of the ideal woman
.sThis woman is such that her hus-
band can trust her in everything.
Her management is such also, that he
is not tempted to deal dishonesty in
order to increase his resources. She
is practical in her affection. This
element is basic one in woman's
character. Can the hearts of people
so trust in you, so utterly, that when
they have entrusted their most sacred
things TO your keeping they are at
rest, knowing. that they are safe?
She is not a meteoric spark but a
sunbeam constantly radiating in bles-
sing. AS we think of her, she has
personality, strength, dignity, light
hearteGness. The strong vigorous
happy person lives in corresponding
vigorous body, SO it is just as neces-
sary for our girls to have strength of
body as for boys. This ideal woman
is wise, kind, energetic. She is not
slip-shod and she is prepared for any
thing. She is not a slave of circum-
stances but as the mistress of them.
like a queen reigning in her sphere.
Mark her management as a mistress.
She is cheerful, working Willingly, a
success in the business world but a
supreme success in the realm of the
lone, the highest sphere of all True
ladyhood consisteth not in birth and
attire but in the diligent pursuit of
those objects that contribute to the
blessing of mankind This woman is
not a deadweight on the industry, of
the world but valuable asset
Continuing to reveal the ideal wo-
man, Rev. Eastwood said: "Her dress
revealed the woman for like the index
of book reveals its contents, so dress
is to the wearer. She had right to
her raiment she earned in all proba-
bilities made her own goods.
Keep Intact With Home
"Girls, keep intact with the home.
One of the most beautiful and hal
lowed and lovely sights in our world
is woman at home, discharging her
duties with all the meekness of wis
DOM The duties, with an order moth
ing is allowed to disturb, patience
which nothing can exhaust; an affec-
ton which, is never ruffled and per-
severance that no difficulties can in
terrupt and no disappointments ar
rest. @
"The courage of women needs to
be developed and as your pastor let
me state that panic and terrors must
be eliminated. You need not become
hard to be courageous. There is no
beauty in fear. 1t is mean, ugly,

WAySAU MAN
BARES FRAUD
SAYS $100,O0O,O00 is LOST
ANNUALLY BY THE
RAILROADS

Alex Weinfield, a former Wausau
resident, is heralded today in New Or
leans as the man who "bared the re-
medy for rail ticket frauds" The
New Orleans Item in a recent issue
contains long and detailed article
with the following introduction.
How railroads are being defrauded
of millions of dollars year by pro-
fessional travellers, was described last
week by Alexander Weinfield, New
Orleans wholesale merchant. who said
1T was no trick at all to ride three or
four hundred miles on ten mile tick
ct. Mr.. Weinfield declared he had so
ridden hundreds of times within the
past five years. For instance, he said
he had travelled from Chicago almost
to New Orleans on ticket from Chi
cago to Hammond, distance of so
miles. On a ticket from Gulf Port to
Pass Christian, Miss, ten miles, he
had travelled several hundred miles in
Alabama and Florida. Fraudulent
hat checks, he said, are another source
OF loss. He. estimates the loss to the
railroads at $100 100000 year and
says this is one of the reasons why
the railroads are continually passing
the hat"
Eliminate Loss
In the heart of the article, Mr.. Wein-
field points ont what ought to be done
to eliminate this loss "If the tickets
were printed in more readable type;
if there was sufficient difference be-
tween tickets reading in one direction
and tickets reading in the other; IL
the mares of te point of origin and
the point of destination were suffi-
cinetly distinct that the conductor
could not help seeing whether a trav-
e'er was using the transportation pro-
perly-th.s costly fraud could be pre-
vented" continued the interview with
Mr. Weinfield.
The account was accompanied by
illustrations of tickets, altered to suit
the fancy of the traveller and showing
distinctly how illegible is the printed
matter thereon. Following is a por-
ton of the article:
Cor. il you are a still more hard
ened traveller. you will retire to the
lavatory until the conductor has
passed and then issue forth with
hat check of the tint that matches
your mileage desired.
The foregoing is not a theoretical
discussion of what might take place,
ii IS a statement of what has been
taking place. what is taking place all
the time.
Alexander Weinfield. wholesale
merchant of New Orleans, has done
all of these things, many times, and
he declares others are doing ii re-
gularly. He estimates the annual los
ses to the railroad from overriding
fraudulent ticket-refunds. AM other
leaks in the passenger department, at

"Mr. Weinfield4 a former travelling
mar has travelled hundreds of ihop-
san1s of miles on American railroads
and there is hardly a line in the
country. he says. on which he has not
found it as easy as taking CANDY away
from q baby. to get away with this
stuff. He has about 500 improperly
used tickets in his possession to back

III CITIES REPRESENTED
AT MARSHFIELD LAST
WEEK END

One hundred and seventeen cities
were represented according to an Of
fetal count at state conference of
leaders of the American Legion in
Wisconsin at Marshfield last Saturday
and Sunday, according to the two
Wausau representatives, Harold In
graham, vice-commander of the Tai
bot Montgomery post in this city, and
Louis A. Deninger, post adjutant. who
attended. There were all told 300
delegates and the conference indicated
what tremendous strength the Legion
is developing as time passes, through
out the state.
Largest Banquet
The banquet held Saturday evening
at Sacred Heart school was the largest
ever held at Marshfield, it is reported.
F. w. Galbraith, Jr., national COM
mander, was The principal speaker of

OF Representatives
In speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently ap-
plauded.
"At one time" said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before 1t no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
Irish people, IL not actually urging Eng
land to grant Independence to ireland.
At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out of the
womb Of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
Joiced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim Of the Filipinos is still un-
needed. Must there be exceptions
then, in international Justice7
my plea. gentlemen of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests Of q de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting Of independence now affords
the United States golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
proof Of Its sincerity, its consistency
and Its altruism. 1t will be the great
est example Of square dealing In the
history Of the ages.
"Do not think we are not appre-
ciative Of all you have done for us.
I'VE are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has evers treated an alien race in all
history. The high points of the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were actuated in
your labors by the desire to contrib
ute to our own welfare.
"And we love you perhaps most Of
all for your solemn promise to grant
us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. Independence is
our national ideal. It is our all alb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can 1t be sub
dued. We believe that we can never
hope to be sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity Of
the United States.
Americas task In the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation in
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with medieval sys-
tenn of institutions has been trans
formed into conscious nation, Inn
bued with all that Is modern In the
activities Of nations. And IL you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase thousand fold; 1t will
last forever IL you keep faith with us.
"There Is but one issue In the Phil
ippine question, and that Is: Is there
today a stable government on the Is
lands? In the Jones law you promised
independence upon the establishment
of such stable government. Your
own Governor General has officially
reported that there is stable gov
eminent in existence today, and we
also have submitted plenty Of evidence
to substantiate its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America will
now carry out its pledge"
