What the japanese Read.

So far as popular interests of the
Japanese are indicated by the books
they read, it would appear that their
attention is given largely to social
questions. According to recent clas.
siticution of the books and magazines
printed in the empire, those upon this
subject. including labor conditions, eco
n"mics, political science, sociolog!
history and law, are a close second

the equipment of the units filled one

The units marched to the depot led
by the 128th Infantry band, which
played in its usml excellent manner,

SUPERVISED PLAY
ATTRACTS HUNDREDS
TO SCHOOL GROUNDS

A grand total of 174 children took
advantage of the hours for supervised
play at the Longfellow, Central,
Franklin, Grant and Irving schools
yesterday morning under the direc-
ton of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. w.
c. A. These mornings are becoming
very popular with the children who
are attending in increasing numbers.
The play is directed for the girls by
the Misses Esther Fehlhaber, Evelyn
Roloff, Louise Tobey, Althea Vein
kauf, Irene Marceau, Paula Ruder, Lu-
cile Lawrence, Verna Gensman, and
Alice Bahr and Mrs. Geo. Silbernagel,
Jr. The boys are under the leadership
of Clayton Braatz, Roy Andrews, Ray
mond Sullivan, Erwin Bliese, Richard
Edwards, Joe WinetZki, Edward Kuhl-
man, Byron Zielsdorf and Carl Hazen.
Miss Leona Ruder and H. HI. Davis are
directing the work. The Longfellow
school grounds were used yesterday
although it was originally planned to
use only the other four. The success
with which the plan is meeting led
to the arrangements for the fifth
playground.

NEXT YEAR PROPERTY
OWNERS MAY SPRINKLE
WHENEVER THEY WISH

The water commission held meet
ing recently at which time the mat
ter of making it lawful for water con-
sumers to sprinkle their gardens and
lawns at any hour of the day or night;
was thoroughly discussed. The COM
mission is very much in favor of with
drawing all present restrictions on the
use of city water. according to Otto
Hochtritt, superintendent of the water
department, but because of the fact
that there are sill 1912 fiat rate water
consumers in the city, the decision
will not be made until next summer.
During the winter months the city
expects to install about 500 new wat
er meters which will place the con-
of water almost altogether
on meter basis. Then, 1t is be-
lieved, there will be little cause for
if the change in rules is
made. An unrestricted policy, 1t is
believed, will relieve the water de-
partment somewhat, which at present.
when everyone sprinkles in the even
ing finds it difficult to maintain suf-
ficient pressure.

BOOKS ARE SENT NORTH
FOR GIRLS AND BOYS
CAMPS

When you see your neighbor seeking
a cool spot on the porch, probably
seated in the hammock with a book
and fan, do you sometimes wonder
what he or she may be reading? Pos
sibly you are one of those who do
your reading in the cooler seasons of
the year and may wonder what the
confirmed bookworm finds to interest
hira when you are sprinkling the lawn
or are out in the family car to create
artlfclal breezes on the open road.
In such cases the public library is
the place to go for your information.
You will find it quite busy place. In
fact WausaI as whole, does a great
deal of reading all the year round.
During the summer months the de-
mand for books is not as great as in
the winter but this fact is taken ad-
vantage of by the library force to take
inventory and make necessary repairs
to the books and equipment. The Ii
Drarian, Miss Cora |. Lansing, has a
stan of three assistants, the Misses
Gladys Orr. Mildred Hudson and Luz
cille Rozelle. Miss Irene Andrews is
assisting temporarily at present.
Fiction First
Complete records of the circulation
are kept and readily show what the
public is reading and how much of
each. Fiction, as may be expected,
holds first place in the number of
books drawn. Taking last week as a
representative week, a glance at the
records shows that $50 books of adult
fiction and Ala books of children's
fiction were drawn. At the same time
1873 books of adult non-fiction and 214
books of children non-fiction were
called for an issued. The non-fiction
is composed of almost every subject
available, history probably predomi-
mating, but philosophy, education, So
ciology, natural science, useful and
fine arts, literature, travel, biography
and music having their quota. The
number of each is not always propor-
tionate. some being entirely absent
from the list one week and perhaps
double the next.
Books of business are in constant
demand, especially those on office
management and store practice. Mag
azlnes on the order of System" and
similar publications are not consulted
as often as the books on business sub
jects. Many people who are regular
patrons of the library are at present
out OF the city on vacations, some at
the lakes where they can take books
to fill out spare moments during the
day. But for the most part those who
are away do not take books with them.
Recently a box containing about 100
books was packed for the Y. w. G. A.
camp at Clear lake. Quite num-
ber of these were non-fction, many of
them being works for which the girls
get credit in the Y. w. work. Fifty
books have been sent to the boys camp
at Manitowish and more are to be taxi
en- up there later. These also have
their percentage Of non-fiction, which
covers such subjects as science, biog-
raphy, athletics and various sports,
and some books of the high school
literature course. Biography seems
to be the most popular with the boys
who read in camp.
Consider a glance behind the scenes

SUPPLIES 800 MEN
WITH FARM JOBS
U. S. SERVICE REPORTS THE
DEMAND FOR FARM
LABOR GOOD

j. d. DeWane, who has charge of the
local office of the employment service
of the u. S. Department of Labor,
states that so far this season his Of
fee has supplied between $50 and 800
applicants with jobs on farms in the
county. "The demand for labor on
the farm" said he, has been very
good up to the middle of last week.
The demand is slackening at the pres
ent time for most of the farmers have
sufficient help for the hay and har-
vest season. In the city itself the
situation is the worst it has been in
eighteen months. There are plenty
of men looking for work but there are
no jobs looking for men. The manu-
facturers have all the help they need
Inquiries Daily
Mr.. DeWane said that long distance
calls are coming in from outside the
city in considerable numbers. Every
day inquiries are decorded for posi-
ions in various parts of the nearby
sections of the state. Most of the
work is on highway construction jobs
and sewer digging. The state road
work is furnishing employment for
many workmen.
Asked about the reception the ex-
service man is meeting with, Mr.. De-
Wane said that such men receive first
consideration in his Office. II think,
too," he said, "that the employers are
doing the same for the former soldier.
OF course it is true that employers pre-
fer married men, and this for two rea-
sons; a married man is more apt to
stick to the lob than a single man
would be and then, too, he has a fam
lily to support. But l do not know of
any case where an ex-service man
was refused job he was willing to ac-
cept, although we hear that complaint
quite frequently in this Office

TO SHIP 400 TONS
OF ICE TO AMIGO
HEALY-BROWN COMPANY is
SHIPPING QUANTITIES
TO OTHER CITIES

A serious shortage of ice is likely
to result in many parts of Wiscon-
sin this year if hot weather such as
has been experienced during a good
share of June and part of July contin-
ues through the rest of the summer.
Orders 400 Tons
Richard Healy, Sr., an Amigo dealer,
has ordered 400 tons of ice from a
Wausau concern, according to the An
tigo Journal. Neither of the local
concerns, the Wausau Ice & Fuel COM
pany nor Healy-Brown, have received
such an order.
When received in the city the order
will likely go to Healy-Brown as the
Wausau Ice & Fuel Co. is not selling
any ice outside of the city this year.
Already shipping
The Healy-Brown company has al
ready supplied several centers with
shipments of ice, including Lancaster
and Richland center, and has a tre-
mendous number of inquiries already
for further shipments. Amigo, accord
ing to all reports, will play out of
its home supply of ice within six
weeks and for the remainder of the
summer shipments will have to come
from cities nearby where there is a
surplus.

action at their annual meetings which
