A Doggone Good Issue.

"The Live Wire" a supplement-
ed edition to last weeks Wausau
Pilot, shows UP the old dead and
gone guy who has been operating
a newspaper so long he is of the
opinion that there is none better
than his rag, and wouldn't give
the younger generation a chance
to prove he is liar, other than he
would go and have his hair cut the
latest college fashion. Oh, No
But let him look over the eight
pages of the Live Wire" and if
he has any sense he will admit it
is time to change and change
blamed quick. This edition pub
lished last week by the classes of
the Wausau high school is a dog
gone good issue, and that is say
ing not anywhere enough for the
efforts of the young ladies and
young men of that school and city.
Every article is bully good and
when strangers to WauSau will
read every article, then the assur-
ance is passed that it has not been
a failure Many of the foremost
weekly papers in the state are Civ
ing the youngsters a chance and
all those papers are to be COM
mended for being not afraid to
better community conditions by
the infusion Of new life in their
papers. The Pilot management
have our thanks for the produc-
ton of mighty splendid edition,
which, of course means that they
are a later edition of the old
school and willing to pass honors
to some others rather than to
gobble the whole for themselves.

The first step in the statewide
investigation of gasoline prices in
Wisconsin was taken when inquir-
les were sent to all gasoline deal
ers and jobbers in the state by de-
partment of markets asking for
information as to prices paid and
charges for the product.
Detailed statistics are requested
by the state department as to rea-
sons for an alleged uniform level
of prices over the state. Infor-
nation also was asked as to con-
ditions and practices which pre-
vent dealers from reducing the
prices"
Questionnaires calling for an
swers to specific questions are be-
ing prepared by the department
for mailing to all oil wholesalers
during the next few days and in
the meantime general responses
from the inquiry are expected.

TELLS HOWITHAPPENE
Account of the Destruction
by Fire of Fishing Party's
Car Near Plum Lake.

The following account of the
wrecking and burning of a car
over near Plum lake a week ago,
OF which a slight notice was given
last week, is taken from the Mer-
ri Herald, and tells the story
complete:
Robert Schuster had a peculiar
experience Saturday night two
miles north of Plum Lake, when
his 1928 Chevrolet sedan suddenly
caught Attire and was completely
destroyed with more than $50 per-
sonal property belonging to Schus-
ter and his partner, Herman
Lemke.
Schuster and Lemke in company
with Herman Steffenhagen and
Gust Mielke had gone above Say
nor with the intention of netting
suckers and made their headquar-
ters at one of the resorts. 1t was
planned to go fishing Sunday. Sat
urday evening while Steffenhagen
and Mielke looked up a game war
den who under the law would have
to be present during any fish net
ting, Schuster and Lemke drove
down to the lake to size up the
situation. Returning shortly, they
came to an embankment on the
side of the road, leading to- a
kettle-hole. Suddenly, the car
swerved, and headed down the en-
bankment. The men left the car
temporarily in search of their
companions, hoping to have the
use Of the latter's auto to draw
the car back onto the highway.
They met a tourist car and asked
it's assistance. In looking back
toward the kettle-hole, they saw a
blaze, and approaching it, found
the car afre. The car is a total
loss but fortunately was insured.
The personal property, including
fur robes, coats, shoes, boots, etc.,
was a complete loss.

INITIATED A BIG CLASS
F;fty-eight New Members are
Taken in Lincoln Grange
Last Sunday and More viii
Be Added.

Sunday was a red letter day for
the members of Lincoln Grange.
Fifty-eight new members were
taken in that organization, and
according to statements of the
officers it is but just starter for
the seasons activities in member
ship drives.
A rather unique method of OBJ
tanning new members was inau-
gurated by Lincoln Grange recent
ly. Ladies paired off on one side
against the men members ON the
other. The war started and at
the end, May 18th, the contest re-
suited in a tie-twenty-nine scalps
dangling from the belts of the
captains on each side, total of
fifty-eight.
Initiatory ceremony for the new
members was given in the Wood
man hall last Sunday, followed by
a spread. The major portion of
the day was given over to Grange
activities, several good talks re-
sulting during the meet.
The Grange officers requests the
News to thank the Masons, Wood
men and the Hall Lumber Co., for
courtesies extended.
Lincoln Grange has been estab-
lished here for several years and
has resulted in bringing closer re
lations to the people of the towns
nearby The National Grange now
has over 100000 members and is
growing very rapidly according to
late statistics.
