For the first it creates distribution;
For the second it provides customers, and
By cumulative effect works itself into force

advertising closely and constantly.

Intelligent advertising describes desirable
merchandise in an attractive manner, quotes
reasonable price and points the way to the

1t speaks persuasively to thousands of inter-

tising merchant where there used to be only
one or two. This throws an increased demand

AN EDITORIAL
ON BUYING

Today when the buying public is rightfuly
expecting its every dollar to do double duty.
this publication feels that it can render no more
constructive service to it's readers than to in
telligently and sincerely point out the posi-
bilities of advertising as related to the needs
and opportunities of every home
Advertising costs money, of course, and there
must be some easily understood explanation
why it is an investment and not an expense
why it decreases rather than adds to the cost Of
merchandise.

thought was given to their comfort,
all of which was greatly appreciated
by the veterans.
Several times, buddies who had been
wounded in action and who had a re-
lapse from former wounds were in
mates of the local hospitals. AS soon
as word could be gotten to the post
commander a committee was put on
the job and in few hours baskets of
fruit, reading material and everything
else that could lend itself to their
comfort was done.
Last Christmas for Two
This last Christmas seven ex-service
men were confined to the Mount View
Sanatorium. The Legion committee
made their Christmas-for Two it was
the last Christmas on this earth-as
bright and happy as possible by the
presentation of gifts, baskets of fruits
and other things including a shaving
kit, which was greatly appreciated by
the men.
So the work has gone on-hun-
dreds of dollars has been spent for
both the living and the dead The
holding of military funerals for the
bodies of the returned overseas dead
and the care of the Legion sick and
the help of the disabled and the un-
fortunate In the holding of the an
nual Minstrel show the Legion uses
its only opportunity to raise these
funds. Every man or woman who
purchases a ticket for either of the
performances or makes a donation can
do so with the absolute knowledge
that every cent is carefully expended
where it will do the most good.

DEATH OF MRS. MUELLER
OCCURRED AT HOME
OF DAUGHTER

The death of Mrs. Carl H. Mueller,
mother of Mrs. Jacob Mortenson, oc-
CURED at the home of her daughter in
Oak Park, ILL.,, on Tuesday according
to word received by friends in Wau-
sau Wednesday. The body of the de-
ceased was brought to the city this
noon and services were held at two
o'clock, interment being in Pine Grove
cemetery.
To many Wausau people, who re-
member Mr.. and Mrs. Mueller as
friends and neighbors, her death has
come as a shock. Mrs. Mueller, whose
husband passed away some years ago,
was spending this winter with her
daughter. Mr.. Mueller was a promi-
nent attorney in this city and was a
civil war veteran. They came to Wau-
sau in 1887 from Houghton, Mich,
where they were married on March
Bird, 1854. Only the one daughter,
Mrs. Jacob Mortenson, survives.
The body is accompanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Mortenson and Mr..
and Mrs. George Carr of Chicago.

Activities of the American Legion

The announcement that the Ameri-
can Legion will again hold their an
nual minstrel show this month on the
18th and 10th at the Grand Opera
House, calls to mind the activities of
that organization and the use to
which the money thus raised will be
put
The American Legion, an organiza-
ton composed of ex-service men who
served in the late war has been the
agency of much good in this communi-
ty although most of its activities have
been carried on quietly.
Besides doing much in the way of
helping the boys who were wounded
to obtain adequate compensation the
American Legion has served as big
brother to all eX-service men and any
needing assistance were always given
hand Of welcome and encouraged
with real helps.
Helped G. A. r..
Besides these activities the Legion
proved of great assistance to the
members of the G. A. R. in planning
and carrying out the details of the
memorial exercises last May 30th
which were declared by many to be
the most impressive and beautiful
ever conducted in the city. Every
arrangement was painstakingly exc
cuted from the erection of two beauti-
full monuments in the cemetery dedi-
Gated to the dead of the three wars
to the marking of the graves and con-
scientious care for the comfort of all
the old veterans of the Civil War;
Automobiles were obtained to take
them to the cemetery and every

URGES THAT
LAW BE UPHELD
PROHIBITION INSPECTOR
SAYS 18th AMENDMENT
MUST BE ENFORCED

That prohibition, now a fact. must
be sustained, that moonshine is
damnable traffic, that the violation OF
the 18th Amendment is encouragement
to Bolshevism-these were the KEY
notes of the address made by Thomas
A. Delaney, of Green Bay, federal
prohibition inspector, before the Wau-
sau Rotary club Monday evening at a
dinner at the Wausau club.
Help Destruct
"Everytime we encourage by any
act, the violation of the Eighteenth
Amendment, or the Volstead Act, we
encourage the Bolshevist tendency of
the day and give aid to the destruc-
tive agencies which are seeking to
tear down our country. Prohibition
is just as much part of the funda-
mental law of the land as any part
of the original constitution. Moon
shine makes quick work of it; it kills
and mains, wrecking lives all over
this land, and this damnable traffic
must be stopped"
After the address Rotarians crowd
ed about Mr.. Delaney asking him nu-
merous questions about the enforce
ment of the law
AT the banquet John A. Sullivan,
the Rotary president, presided, Rotar-
ian salutes were given Chief of Police

To the team having the best at
tendance during recent months, a sill

and the Rotarians voted that the for
mer should receive it this time.
