BACCALAUREATE SERMON
is PREACHED SUNDAY
EVENING

The baccalaureate sermon was
preached last Sunday evening at the
Methodist church by DIR. Richard
Evans to the seyenty-nine graduates
of the Wausau High school and to
those who complete their work at the
end of summer school The church
was completely filled with the excep-
ton OF the reserved space for the
ninety-four students, who filed in af-
ter all others had been seated, to tha
triumphal march from "Aida"
The Treble Clef club of the high
school and the Girls Glee clubs sang
two selections during the evening, the
"Sanctus" from st. Cecelia's Mass, by
Gounod, and the "Integer Vitae" by
Flemming, directed by Miss Josephine
Darrin, supervisor of music. The Rev.
Eastwood, the Rev. II. H. Kattmann
and the Rev. VIM ]. Taylor assisted
DR.. Evans during the service.
DR.. Evans selected as mis- sermon
subject you Are Debtors" using as d
base st. Paul's confession, in. letter
to the Romans, that. he was indebted
to the Greeks and Barbarians as we'll
as to others. DR.. Evans urged the
young people to direct their lives in
such way that the world will be bet
ter for having them. He emphasized
the debt that is owed the patriotic
forefathers of this country, for their
sacrifices and the service of others
in our later history Sparta Rome
and Athens, DR.. Evans pointed out as
great examples of early democracy
and he also spoke of the signing OF
the Magma Charta by King John.
''We sometimes hear Moses, the
great law giver, spoken of lightly"
said Dr. Evans, "and yet we owe to
him the greatest moral and hygienic
laws of all time and these statutes
are still the basis of common law in
all modern nations. No man except
Christ can say the world owes him
living, for upon every man and woman
there is burden of debt placed upon
them by the wise and the unwise, the
Greek and the Roman, who have gone
before, and the young people of to-
day have all the advantages of their
work and have the plain duty Of add
ing more knowledge to the world
and of helping to lift the PEOPLES Of
the earth to higher planes

Y. w. C. A. will run a cherry pickers'
camp in Door county this summer
For number of years the Y. M. G. A.

ond one is to be undertaken this sum-
mer. Many inquiries have made by

BANKERS SUGGEST
LOWERING INTEREST
RATES TO BORROWERS

Z. T. krueger makes a very enthusi-
astlc report of the convention at
Rhlnelander on Saturday of last week
The attendance was large and very
good attention was given to the meet
ingS. The members went on record
as being in favor of the adoption of a
more uniform certificate of deposit
and reduction in rates of interest both
to borrowers and depositors where
these rates had been raised during
war times. Also the adoption of more
uniform banking hours both as to
opening and closing of banks and Sat
urday afternoon closing. One of the
interesting features of the convention
was a demonstration of land clear
ing by various methods. The entire
group of bankers, number of bust
ness men and farmers attended the
demonstration. One feature was the
blowing of rough land by battery of
tractors. Stump pulling was demon
strated in several ways. In one in
stance caterpiller tractors built on the
order of army tanks were used. A
large cable about two hundred feet
in length was attached to solid
stump in a field, the other end was
anchored on the tank and the tank
then moved in a circle. This caused
the cable to wind around large num-
Der OF other stumps and in some in
stances a whole flock of stumps would
be uprooted at one time. Should they
seem to settle again the direction
taken would be reversed which would
result in the uprooting of the entire
number of stumps. In another in
stance stumps in tract of about one
half acre we're blown up in one ex-
plosion. The dynut tie was placed
and at a signal the entire number Of
fuses were touched off and the stumps
blown out. 1t was conceded that the
tank or sweeping Method worked the
lively old, but where the stunps were
green and new the dynamite was more
satisfactory. Saturday evening the
bankers were rendered banquet at
Wildwood resort about SIX miles feozG
Rhinelander on the Wisconsin River
and Wildwood Lake, they being the
first guests in the new resort build
ing. An orchestra furnished music
during the evening and after the ban
quet dancing was IN progress until
about midnight Mr. Kruger states
that the Rhinelander bankers were
splendid hosts. The next meeting OF
this group will he held at Wisconsin
Rapids. New officers elected are J
W. Taylor, Wisconsin Rapids, presi-
dent; X. Andrews, Colby, vice presi-
dent and r. A. Hyland, Rhinelander

MEETING OF WILD
LIFE ASSOCIATION
FRIDAY EVENING

The Wild Life Protective associa-
ton held meeting last Friday night
at which E. A. Hochtritt read a pa
per on the kinds of bait and casting
apparatus used in catching bass. d.
NJ Cranston, local observation ward
EN-, discussed the propagation of black
and Oswego bass and d. NJ McNaugh-
ton read paper on the haunts of the
black bass, bait, both live and arti-
fetal and how best to catch that spec
ial variety of fish. Another meeting
will be held very soon at which a
discussion on pike and its breeding
places will be prepared and presented
before the organization by local
sportsmen. The association is now in
communication with the United States
bureau of fisheries in an effort to OBJ
tain half or two-thirds grown fish
from the Mississippi river and which
are obtained from the land locked
slews after the Mississippi has re-
coded sufficiently to make it possible
for crews to work in the land locked
waters with seining nets. There is
a great variety of fish which can be
obtained, bass, pike, cat fish and 9TH
ers. During the past few years the
fish fry obtained from the state fish
cries has been going farther north as
the people who make practice of
spending large part of the year at
the resorts request that the fry be
placed in the lakes and rivers ada
cent to their particular cottages and
summer homes.
