A Big Sheep Killer Gone.

Friday evening about 7 o'clock, a
number Of wolf hunters gathered At
the home of Lester Johnson to eu-
gage i'll wolf hunt southeast of
the city. There were about eight
dogs in the bunch. Those who par
tcipated in the hunt were H. "A. Way
land, with four dogs, John Stubblc-
field with two and Lester Johnson
with two, DR.. Berry, Leroy Duvall.
Ross Miller, Lester Barron, and two
shaffer boys, west of town. We ar
rived at the hunt about s o'clock,
hunting the territory between Root
Branch and Postum Branch. Not
striking any trail there we decided
TO go west when the 9 o'clock pas
senger whistled and the wolves set up
howl on the Jim Marstellar place
and the fun commenced The dogs
divided after the wolves, running the
country over between Mound Branch
and Rabbit Branch. The wolves
were trying to throw the dogs off, bat
finally discovered that they were in
bad company and started for the
Double Branch neighborhood, then
taking west to the FLYER bottoms and
north up Mound Branch to the Chris
ty place where they started to milling,
crossing the creek several times in
the last effort to throw the dogs off.
but there was no such good luck as
that with such a pack OF dogs after
them. One OF them, realizing that his
time had come, took to the creek
south of the Christy lake and the fun
commenced right. Dogs and wolf
were in the creek when we got to
them. We finally dragged the wolf
out and killed him, after four hours
chase
This will be big help to the shsep
raisers of that community as the
wolves were carrying off a good
i-lany lambs and pigs. x

2SG APPLICATIONS
FOR NATURALIZATION
TO BE ACTED ON SOON

Two hundred and eighty applica-
tons for naturalization are to be
heard i'm Marathon county circuit
court on the three days of May 7th.
9th and 10th. Special q. S. Examiner
George y. Danielson of St. Paul has
been conducting preliminary examina-
lions at various places throughout the
county. and this fact is expected to
shorten the wUlk so that all can be
heard within the time specified. In
the cases OF those who have not taken
the preliminary examinations the pre-
sen one will be thorough.
The reason for the large number OF
applicants is that many of the appli-
cations have been pending since the
outbreak of the war, various laws and
wartime legislation having prevented
them from coming before the court.
These restrictions were recently re-
moved and all the applications are TO
be taken care Of at this time. Petit
TONERS arer equired to bring their
original witnesses. except where
death, Hines. or removal from the
county makes this impossible in which
case substitute witnesses are allowed.
The list of applicants has been distri-
buted over the three days and the full
list will appear IN neNtw eek's issue

During the war government restric-

of one hektolitre (2.S3 bushels) to each
family at time. Three such amounts
was the maximum allowed any family
for one winter. No distinction was
made here, rich and poor alike were

PLAN FIXES
CATCH BASINS
MAYOR WORKS OUT WAY TO
PREVENT FREEZING
AT CORNERS

Mayor Emil Flatter has achieved
something that ought to prove of ire
mendous use in Wausau as we'll as in
other Wisconsin cities wherever
trouble with catch basins has been
experienced. For many years the may
or has been considering how freez-
ing in connection with existing in
stallations can be eliminated
State Engineer Writes
His solution has been presented to
the state board of health and in an
swer to the mayors letter and sketch
| G. M. Baker, state sanitary engineer
at Madison, wrote: sin fact, it APP
pears to be the most practical solu-
ton of this problem that | have seen
and l believe, therefore, that you are
fully justified in going ahead and con-
structing your basins and manholes
accordingly"
In telling The Pilot about his solu-
ton Mayor Flatter sa d that some fif-
teen years ago, when Mr.. Ellenbecker
served his first term on the council,
they had discussed the matter Since
that time he has occasionally pom
dered over the question. The mayor
suggests cutting the extended intake
off in the catchbasin and instead of
this, provid.ng/a straight shute down
ward to the main sewer. When the
catchbasin has filled to the point
where the intake drops, water will
run off so quickly that there is no
chance for freezing. The sewer seal,
then, is located not in the catchbasin
as formerly but in the main sewer at
the manhole.
Below Freezing
The shute at the bottom is below
the freezing line and it extends
trifie lower than the sewer proper,
then bending upward. Water remains
in this lower portion of the shute be-
tween the sewer and the catchbasin
thus providing the seal, made neces-
sary by law where storm catchbasins
run water into sewers.
The cement blocks which may be
used in the construction of the lower
part of the shute and at the junction
of the manhole and sewer, can be
manufactured locally. Mayor Platter
says. The sketch which he sent to
Madison, has since been improved
upon and work will be undertaken in
Wausau along the lines the mayor
suggests to eliminate freezing in the
future.

annual armistice of that portion of
humanity that has come to be segre-
gated under the name of ChristendOm.
Christmas is the finest thing that
has come out of Christianity, because
1t is the friendliest thing. Men and
women are not naturally and health
lily meddlers; the best part of their
lives and the most of their happiness
does not come from the tyranny they
exercise or the repressions they set
up or the refOrmatory cruelties they
inflict on others.
At Christmas time men and women
forget to be anything but children
again.
Perhaps some day there Will be
sort Of Christmas every day of the
year, Perhaps men and women will
be able to forget more often and more
completely, and thereby live more
completely, the elimination OF bitter
ness and artificial antagonisms being
both the cause and the effect Of this
happy state.
Perhaps one Of the lessons of Christ
mas is that we have more to forget
than to learn.--Detl oft News.

HOLLY MAY SOON BE EXTINCT
Popular Christmas Decoration Is
Growing Less 5ountiful Each
Year, According to Reports.

Christmas holly, that merriest and
most beloved of all growing bushes,
is threatened with extinction, accord
ing to a warning sounded by lovers
of red Christmas. Once growing
profusely in southern New Jersey and
Maryland, it has been swept from
those states by the ruthless cutters
for the city markets, and must now
be sought in the swamps of Virginia
and North Carolina, where already
the supply is growing less bountiful
each year. The Gulf states have been
similarly shOrn to make holiday for
the large cities.
Within another generation, bOtanists
say, holly will be as rare as mistletoe,
which used to grow in abundance on
the Atlantic seaboard, as far north as
Raritan bay, but has now practically
ceased u exist as a Christmas dec
GRAFTON. When will the American
people learn that the bounty Of their
fields and woodlands is not limitless?
With sinking hearts nature lovers
have long since recorded the disap-
pearance of the delicate trailing ar
butus, flower of the Pilgrim maidens,
from all woods near large cities. The
mountain laurel, which once swept the
hills of June with pale pink drifts
like naughty clouds running away
from the sunset, has now retreated
to the remote mountain sides.-New
York Tribune.
