on the lawn, all went into the house.
Miss Minnie was not satisfied with the
actions of the weather clerk in maxi
ing IT impossible for her her guests to

FAIR ASSOCIATION
ADDS BLEACHERS
THOUSAND MORE PERSONS
CAN BE ACCOMMODATED
THIS YEAR

Yesterday the new bleachers order
ed by the Wisconsin Valley Fair and
Exposition arrived. These are of 2
permanent type, may be easily put up
for any occasion and quickly taken
down. One thousand more persons
can thus be accommodated with seats.
During the past several years the
Agricultural society has thus tremen-
dously increased. the capacity of the
grand stand and bleachers, by the
erection of the concrete STAND and the
gradual addition of sections.
Two booster trips will be made be-
fore the fair, both of them to cover
Marathon county thoroughly and to
make number of cities outside the
county. A. w. Prehn, secretary, de-
clares that reports have come to his
office to the effect that there will be
exhibitors of cattle present from Por-
tage county and others that never be-
fore have been interested in the Wis
consin Valley Fair and Exposition.
Two separate stands will be, built
instead of combined one for the
judges and timers. The judges stand
will be located on the outside of the
track and the time keepers stand,
with canopy top, on the inside.
One of the features of this years
fair will be the Homecoming in con-
nection with it. An invitation is to
be extended to all former Wausau.
residents to return to this city for
fair week, August 21st to 25th, and
programs for their entertainment will
be arranged

AMIGO EAGLES. ARE
TOLD ABOUT OLD AGE
PENSIONS BY CHELLIS

At meeting OF Eagles last Friday
at Amigo Roy A.. Chellis, prominent
member of the order OF this city,
spoke. The Amigo Journal carried
the following:
"A splendid address was given by
Roy M. Chellis of Wausau. who ex-
planned the workings of the proposed
law. The measure is advocated by all
Wisconsin Eagles and provides for a
pension commission of three, appoint
ed by the governor OF the state, who
are to appoint superintendent or
pensions, similar to the state parole
officer. This commission will appoint
a pension commission of three in each
county to serve in their locality with
out pay. The bill reads that a PEN
sion, of an amount to be determined
by the commission, be paid TO all de-
pendent aged whose income is less
than $500 per year, or who have prop
erty, the value of which does not ex-
ceed $4,000 Provision Is also made
in this law TO reimburse the state for
the expense incurred in payment for
this pension, where dependents leave
property that will eventually go to
surviving heirs.
"Mr. Chellis gave very specific ex-
planation Of the proposed law and all
persons present seemed TO favor It..
Many almshouses would be done away
with by this law.
After the meeting the Eagles
served fine luncheon to their guests.
About one hundred were present"

himself to those sound principles OF
government to which Wisconsin owes
her fame" his platform or contract

YOUNG PEOPLE
RAISE TRUCK
FIFTY BOYS AND GIRLS
MEMBERS OF GARDEN
CLUBS

FIFTY young men and women are
raising garden truck and flowers this
year under the guidance of II. B. Coon,
instructor in agriculture in the Wau
sau High school. Some four years
ago, when Mr.. Coon came to Wausau,
there was little interest in this work
and only sixteen students were regis
tered in the botany Glass. Since that
time the work has expanded surpris-
-ingly and today there are registered
in botany classes upwards of 100 pu-
nils.
Before the high school closed, the
groups OF boys and girls organized
clubs. The boys organization was
named Watch My Dust and the
girls "The Gardenettes" Each in
Ldiyidual planted his garden plot and
today these are filled with vegetables
of Gil kinds and many OF flowers OF
the common ANNALS. Il have visited
practically all of these gardens" Mr..
Coon told Pilot reporter, land l find
them with but one or two exceptions
in elegant shape. They have been
we'll taken care of and planted and
Were planned excellently at the
start Some of the members of the
clubs are interested in poultry and
are making fine progress with their
pens.
The girls have a canning club that
is as busy as can be at the present
time. So far Mr.. Coon himself has
been assisting them but now that he
is taking over Wakelin McNeePs work
in the county for the remainder of
the summer, Mrs. Coon is assuming
this part of her husbands work. Two
years ago Mrs. Coon instructed class
of girls in canning and so efficiently
was the work performed that the
club came within an eighth of a point
of winning first place in their exhibit
at the state fair. Exhibits of the
vegetables that are raised and of the
fruits and berries canned by the girls
will be prepared for the county fair.
One young lady of seventeen has
half acre planted to garden truck
and she is caring for it as expertly
If not more so, than old, experienced
gardeners. She is much interested in
her task according to Mr.. Coon.
Following are the memberships OF
the two clubS.

CHARTER BOYS GET
THRILL IN AIR RIDE

For long time little Robert Char
tier, six years old, and his elder
brothers, Frank and Dugal. had been
urging their father Ray Charter, to
take Them up to the field on top OF
east hill from which Russell Nc
Nown's airplane makes its daily, al
most hourly, flights. They finally won
their battle but when they reached
the field merely watching the plans
ascend wasn't wholly satisfactory and
to make the situation more interest.
ing, Mr.. McNown wanted to take them
for flight. So they went; first little
Robert and Dugal and then Frank and
Dugal. It's a great story they are
telling their friends, all of whom are
envious of the youthful aeronauts.
