LET US HELP YOU to get a next year’s Christmas Check. Hundreds and hundreds of men, women and young people will receive their usual Christmas Checks within a few weeks. They have been faithful mem- bers of the Christmas Cash Clubs and will receive their reward. It’s nice to get a Christmas Check at the time of the year when the de- mands for money are so numerous. It will be especially helpful to get this year's check. We will be able to do so many useful things with the money, and the idea will be appreciated more than ever, with the result that larger num- bers will join these clubs lor next year’s Christmas Checks. Plan now to join The First National Christmas Cash Club. The First National Bank LIBRARIAN VISITS THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE .INTEREST OF TRENCH CANDLE MAKING Miss Cora Lansing, the city libra- rian, assisted by Miss Helen Stone, visited the public schools of the city the past week with a view of getting the school children interested in mak- ing trench candles. A few minutes were given to the various rooms in each school building, and the work will not interfere at all with their regular school work, as it is to be done cn Saturdays or evenings or at other convenient times. Miss Lan- sing has given a very encouraging report as the result of her efforts the pat'i week. Last Saturday boys and girls w r ent voluntarily to the library where they spent the day cutting up newspapers and rolling them for trench candles. Many of the children take newspapers home and roll them and return them to the library. All but two buildings were visited the past week and the fourth grade was the lowest grade vis- ited. The children were asked to do all they possibly can in this work, and when short of newspapers visit the neighbors, and have them save the papers for this purpose . All candle ends, paraffin, etc., which can be gotten hold of should be sent to the library or let the library know and they will call for them, as a melting pot is to be es- tablished at that place, and after a grod many candles are ready for boiling they wil set aside a day to be given over to the boiling of the can- dles, after which they must cool and then are ready to send to the sol- diers at the front. The trench candles are made as fol- lows: Spread out four newspapers, eight sheets in all, and begin rolling at the long edge. Roll as tightly as pos- sible until the papers are half rolled, then fold back the first three sheets toward the rolled part and continue to wrap around the roll almost to the first fold, then fold back, another three sheets and continue to wrap around the roll again almost up to the second fold, then fold one sheet and continue rolling until getting to the margin of paper. On this mar- gin, consisting of one sheet, spread a little glue or paste and continue the rolling, so as to make a compact roll of paper almost like a torch. If seven of the sheets are not turned under, there will be too many edges to glue. While the newspapers may be cut along the line of the columns before rolling and the Individual columns rolled separately, as is done in the making of the trench candles in France, it is easier for some to roll the whole newspaper into a. long roll and then cut it into short lengths. These little rolls must be boiled in enough paraffin to cover them and then taken out and cooled, when they are ready to be put in bags and sent to the front. The trench candles are now being put in the comfort bags sent to our soldiers. Little children and grown-ups in France and Italy are rolling, gluing and paraffining these ration heaters by the million. These little rolls of paper, saturat- ed with hot paraffin and allowea to cool, will burn without smoke, which in the presence of the enemy is dan- gerous, and will boil a pint of soup in about ten minutes and keep lighted for twenty minutes or half an hour. By supporting the can of soup on pieces of rock and protecting the flames from the wind, an ideal individ- ual camp meal can be made. The conversion of old newspapers and candle ends into fuel has been carried on by the women and children of Italy and France for a long time. In America there are millions of candid ends and thousands of tons of newspapers scattered over the coun- try, and it would seem to be well worth while for the thousands of will- ing hands in the homes to convert them into these most useful ration heaters for the boys at the front, or for their use next winter in the train- ing camps. The children are urged to spend as much time as possible in this work either at the library, at home or wherever convenient. Other war activities which the chil- dren in our schools are taking up is the knitting of squares out of odds and ends of yarn for coverings to be used for our soldiers cots and cover- ings for the refugee children of Bel- gium. There are many who do not realize the amount of work being ac- complished in this line by our chil- dren and teachers of the public schools. The boys are knitting as well as the girls.. Picture puzzles are being made al- so by .the children of Wausau.. Pic- tures of various kinds are being past- ed on board and then cut up in differ- ent ways to be put together again, so as to make the picture look exactly like it did before cutting. This is an amusement to be sent to the sol- diers while confined in hospitals, and will prove quite a pastime. The names and addresses are placed on the back of the picture puzzles, so that any one from Wisconsin being in the war hospital, and happens to got a puzzle to put together with the name and address of someone from his home state, will undoubtedly value it highly. The making of trench candles, knit- ting squares, picture puzzles, etc, mentioned above are all made out of waste material. There is no cost at- I tached to the maunfacture of them, : and it teaches the children the value of saving and economy will mean ! much more to them in the future than it has in the past. (ONTAGIOTS DISEASES Eari and George Pagenkopf. 610 Washington street, have the whoop- ing cough. Mrs. Louis Cartwright, 302 South Fourth street, has diptheria. Frederick and Maurien Kimball. 709 Jefferson stree have chicken pox.

His condition at this writ- ing shows no improvement. i SOCIETY ITEMS | W ? Social Gatherings of the Past Week In Wausau and Vicinity For Pilot Readers. The congregation of the First Meth- odist church enjoyed another of its All-Church socials last Friday even- ing in the form of a Puritan party. The parlors of the church had been transformed into a meeting house of the colonial times, at w r hich place the Puritan dressed guests assembled for evening services. The meeting house was well guarded by the Puri- tan fathers, with guns on their shoul- ders, but in spite of this, a band of Indians arrived on the scene and made a hostile invasion of the Puritan meet- ing house. Among the Indians were Big Chief Fred Genrich, C. P. James, Calvin Crocker, Mrs. Elizabeth Hol- man, Mrs. E. L. Boehm, Mrs. A. M. Evans, Mrs. Hiram Anderson, Miss Ruth Alexander, Miss Mabel Whalley and Mary Alice Boehm. They were equipped with tomahawks, axes, etc., and were among the most bitter tribe of Indians ever invading the Methodist meeting house. They went through various Indian stunts, such as war dances, squatting on the floor ar.d singing their Indian songs, capturing and later freeing the Puritan women, etc., After the Indians could be quiet- ed and seated by themsejves an en- tertainment was given depicting a story of human life in character of “Pricilla and John Alden.” Miss Gretchen Morgan took the part of Priscilla, Mrs. C. S. Snyder repre- sented Mistress Mullins, mother of Priscilla; Lynn Halvorsen acted the part of Captain Miles Standish and C. S. Snyder was John Alden. The dramatization was cleverly given. Af- ter the entertainmer* a general so- cial time was had by all those present and refreshments were served. The evening was a most enjoyable one, and the appearance of the rooms and the guests was entirely with the keeping of the colonial period. * * The recital of Mrs Selma Gogg, soprano, last Wednesday evening at the First Presbyterian church, was Jargely attended by her Wausau friends. Mrs. Gogg’s colorful soprano is delightful and supplemented by the charm and graciousness of her manner made a wonderfully entertaining and successful program. She was enthus- iastically received in all the numbers of her program, showing her wonder- ful breath control and her technique and interpretative ability, carrying her audience with her through the vicis- situdes of joy and sorrow as expressed Ip’ the composer. Among her group of songs rendered are two, which de- serve special mention. “The Twilight Hours” by John Wiederhirn and “Mother Song,” by Nyvall, which were written for and dedicated to Mrs. Gogg. The composer of the former, will be noticed, was her assistant at the Wednesday evening recital. The masterful rendition of her well chos- en numbers bespeaks for her an un- usually successful concert singer. John Wiederhirn of Chicago, pianist, accompanist and composer, who was Mrs. Gogg’s assistant Wednesday evening, was enthusiastically received by the music lovers of Wausau. His playing was a revelation to m?ny who did not know’ of the music that could be drawn from a piano by an accom- plished musician. Each selection was played with delicacy, grace and feeling and with an individuality all his -own. His technique is superb and such spirited interpretations were in striking contrast with the youth of the performer. Among his numbers the “Gnomenreigen” (Dance of the Gnomes) by Liszt seemed to be a favorite with the audience. * The Heelahdee Campfirtj girls had a supper and business ineeting at the First Baptist church last Friday evening. The members decided at the business session to meet at the church on Friday evenings and to have monthly social and ceremonial meet- ings alternately. Miss Phoebe Jones has resigned as guardian of the Camp- fire, and someone will be appointed to fill the vacancy and to be initiat- ed at the next social meeting of the campfire group. The following were named officers for the ensuing year: President, Miss Lenora, Martin; vice I resident. Miss Winifred Hudson; sec- retary, Miss Louise Pedigo; treasurer, Miss Irene Wheeler.; chairman social committee, Miss Alda Miller. The next meeting will be on Friday even- ing of this week, at which time Miss Helen Sisson and Miss Alda Miller w’ill be the entertainers, and the meet- ing will be held in their club room in the Baptist church. Dr. and. Mrs. A. B. Rosenberry of this city announce the marriage of their daughter, Miss Ruth Rosenberry, to Melville G. Barwig, on Saturday, September 22, 1917. The marriage service was read by Rev. G. D. Barr at St. Peter's Episcopal church in Chi- cago, and witnessed by a few friends. Mr. and Mrs. Barwig will make their home in Chicago, where the former holds a position in the furniture store of his uncle, George Barwig, where he has been since last spring. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Barwig of this city. The couple are well known in Wausau, and the announcement of their marriage comes as a complete surprise to their many friends. The Woman s Bible class of the First Presbyterian church had a meet- ing at the church parlors Thursday afternoon, at which time the mem- bers devoted the time to Red Cross work, after which a lunch was served. Mrs. C. E. Gill and Mrs. M. T. Reeves will entertain the class at Mrs. Gill’s home on December 11. * Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Komers enter- tained the Auction club last Tues- day evening. Four tables of cards were played and high scores made by Mrs. Herman Lemke and J. P. Werle, and Mrs. Fred Genrich and Herman Lemke. After the evening's play delicious refreshments were served. WAUSAU PILOT Last Saturday afternoon a very suc- cessful card party was given for the benefit of the free bed at St. Mary’s Hospital, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Dessert, who very kindly opened their spacious home to the public for this most worthy charity. There were thirty-two tables of play- ers besides a large number of ladies, who preferred to knit for the boys in the army and at the same time to contribute their money to this fund. The hours were from 3 until 5 o’clock, when a luncheon was served. Auction and 500 were played, prizes being awarded to Mrs. J. P. Ford, Miss Vera Schult and Mrs. E. C. Wescott for auction; and to Mrs. Michael Lutz of Kronenwetter, for 500. The party was given by Mrs. Louis Dessert and daughters, the Misses Louise and Blanche, Mrs. L. A. Pradt and Mrs. E. B. Thayer and they we're assisted by Mrs. W. B. Heinemann, president; Dr. Margaret Trevitt, Mrs. R. E. Parcher, Mrs. P. L. Goerling Mrs. A. L. Timlin and Miss Gertrude Heinemann, Miss Margaret Barw’ig, Miss Maud Hammond and Miss Nina Kickbusch. Over $175.00 was taken in, which included an amount sent in from Mrs. B. Heinemann from New York City. The free bed at St. Mary’s hospital has proven one of the greatest pieces of charitable work ever undertaken in this city. It has been conducted for years by ladies selected from each of the churches of Wausau and is strictly undenominational. It has proven a blessing to a great number who would have otherwise been un- able to receive the treatment and thus be brought back to health. The amount necessary to be raised annual- ly for this fund to pay the hospital is $350, and it requires aboift as much again to pay for medicines, op- erating room, ambulance, etc. The surgeous and physicians give their services absolutely free. The ladies’ auxiliary of St. Mary’s hospital is officered as follows: President—Mrs. W. B. Heinemann. Sec.—Miss Louise Dessert. Treas.—Miss Maud Hammond. Committee i n charge of the free bed —Dr. Margaret Trevitt, Mrs. Louis Dessert, Mrs. Walter Alexander.

Wood- son. E. B. Thayer was toastmaster of the evening. A social evening fol- lowed in games and dancing. * The Baptist Discussion club met in the old city hall building last Wednes- day evening, instead of in the Bap- tist church parlors. A supper was served by the girls of the domestic science department under the super- vision of their instructor, Miss Hanna Brunstad. After the delicious supper, G. D. Jones was in charge of the evening’s program. He read from the works of our late citizen, Hon. Neal Brown, “On Growing Old,” also telling of this mans life. * This evening a benefit dancing party will be given in the auditorium of St. Mary’s school house by the Young People's sodality of St. Mary’s church. The social affair is given for the purpose of raising money to be divided between the Knights of Colum- bus war fund and the Christmas packet fund for the soldiers and sail- ors. This is to be an informal danc- ing party and the sodality hope to make it a huge success. * * Five hundred and cinch w’as played at the public card party at Eagles’ hall last Thursday evening, given by the Ladies’ Auxiliary to Wausau aerie No. 251, F.

The Elks and their ladies enjoyed an informal dancing party at the Elks’ new club rooms Wednesday evening. The decorations were the Elks’ colors, purple and white.

LIBRARIAN VISITS THE PUBLICSCHOOLS IN THE.INTEREST OF

TRENCH CANDLE MAKING

Miss Cora Lansing, the city libra-rian, assisted by Miss Helen Stone,visited the public schools of the citythe past week with a view of gettingthe school children interested in mak-ing trench candles. A few minuteswere given to the various rooms ineach school building, and the workwill not interfere at all with theirregular school work, as it is to bedone cn Saturdays or evenings or atother convenient times. Miss Lan-sing has given a very encouragingreport as the result of her efforts thepat'i week. Last Saturday boys andgirls wrent voluntarily to the librarywhere they spent the day cutting upnewspapers and rolling them fortrench candles. Many of the childrentake newspapers home and roll themand return them to the library.

All but two buildings were visitedthe past week and the fourthgrade was the lowest grade vis-ited. The children were askedto do all they possibly canin this work, and when short ofnewspapers visit the neighbors, andhave them save the papers for thispurpose . All candle ends, paraffin,etc., which can be gotten hold ofshould be sent to the library or letthe library know and they will callfor them, as a melting pot is to be es-tablished at that place, and after agrod many candles are ready forboiling they wil set aside a day to begiven over to the boiling of the can-dles, after which they must cool andthen are ready to send to the sol-diers at the front.

The trench candles are made as fol-lows:

Spread out four newspapers, eightsheets in all, and begin rolling atthe long edge. Roll as tightly as pos-sible until the papers are half rolled,then fold back the first three sheetstoward the rolled part and continueto wrap around the roll almost to thefirst fold, then fold back, anotherthree sheets and continue to wraparound the roll again almost up tothe second fold, then fold one sheetand continue rolling until getting tothe margin of paper. On this mar-gin, consisting of one sheet, spreada little glue or paste and continue therolling, so as to make a compact rollof paper almost like a torch. If sevenof the sheets are not

,turned under,

there will be too many edges to glue.While the newspapers may be cut

along the line of the columns beforerolling and the Individual columnsrolled separately, as is done in themaking of the trench candles inFrance, it is easier for some to rollthe whole newspaper into a. long rolland then cut it into short lengths.These little rolls must be boiled inenough paraffin to cover them andthen taken out and cooled, when theyare ready to be put in bags and sentto the front. The trench candles arenow being put in the comfort bagssent to our soldiers.

Little children and grown-ups inFrance and Italy are rolling, gluingand paraffining these ration heatersby the million.

These little rolls of paper, saturat-ed with hot paraffin and allowea tocool, will burn without smoke, whichin the presence of the enemy is dan-gerous, and will boil a pint of soupin about ten minutes and keep lightedfor twenty minutes or half an hour.By supporting the can of soup onpieces of rock and protecting theflames from the wind, an ideal individ-ual camp meal can be made.

The conversion of old newspapersand candle ends into fuel has beencarried on by the women and childrenof Italy and France for a long time.

In America there are millions ofcandid ends and thousands of tons ofnewspapers scattered over the coun-try, and it would seem to be wellworth while for the thousands of will-ing hands in the homes to convertthem into these most useful rationheaters for the boys at the front, orfor their use next winter in the train-ing camps. The children are urgedto spend as much time as possiblein this work either at the library,at home or wherever convenient.

Other war activities which the chil-dren in our schools are taking up isthe knitting of squares out of oddsand ends of yarn for coverings to beused for our soldiers cots and cover-ings for the refugee children of Bel-gium. There are many who do notrealize the amount of work being ac-complished in this line by our chil-dren and teachers of the publicschools. The boys are knitting as wellas the girls..

Picture puzzles are being made al-so by .the children of Wausau.. Pic-tures of various kinds are being past-ed on board and then cut up in differ-ent ways to be put together again, soas to make the picture look exactlylike it did before cutting. This isan amusement to be sent to the sol-diers while confined in hospitals, andwill prove quite a pastime. Thenames and addresses are placed onthe back of the picture puzzles, so thatany one from Wisconsin being in thewar hospital, and happens to got apuzzle to put together with the nameand address of someone from hishome state, will undoubtedly value ithighly.

The making of trench candles, knit-ting squares, picture puzzles, etc,mentioned above are all made out ofwaste material. There is no cost at-

I tached to the maunfacture of them,: and it teaches the children the valueof saving and economy will mean

! much more to them in the future thanit has in the past.

Social Gatherings of the Past WeekIn Wausau and Vicinity

For Pilot Readers.The congregation of the First Meth-

odist church enjoyed another of itsAll-Church socials last Friday even-ing in the form of a Puritan party.The parlors of the church had beentransformed into a meeting house ofthe colonial times, at wr hich placethe Puritan dressed guests assembledfor evening services. The meetinghouse was well guarded by the Puri-tan fathers, with guns on their shoul-ders, but in spite of this, a band ofIndians arrived on the scene and madea hostile invasion of the Puritan meet-ing house. Among the Indians wereBig Chief Fred Genrich, C. P. James,Calvin Crocker, Mrs. Elizabeth Hol-man, Mrs. E. L. Boehm, Mrs. A. M.Evans, Mrs. Hiram Anderson, MissRuth Alexander, Miss Mabel Whalleyand Mary Alice Boehm. They wereequipped with tomahawks, axes, etc.,and were among the most bitter tribeof Indians ever invading the Methodistmeeting house. They went throughvarious Indian stunts, such as wardances, squatting on the floor ar.dsinging their Indian songs, capturingand later freeing the Puritan women,etc., After the Indians could be quiet-ed and seated by themsejves an en-tertainment was given depicting astory of human life in character of“Pricilla and John Alden.” MissGretchen Morgan took the part ofPriscilla, Mrs. C. S. Snyder repre-sented Mistress Mullins, mother ofPriscilla; Lynn Halvorsen acted thepart of Captain Miles Standish andC. S. Snyder was John Alden. Thedramatization was cleverly given. Af-ter the entertainmer* a general so-cial time was had by all those presentand refreshments were served. Theevening was a most enjoyable one, andthe appearance of the rooms and theguests was entirely with the keepingof the colonial period.

The recital of Mrs Selma Gogg,soprano, last Wednesday evening atthe First Presbyterian church, wasJargely attended by her Wausaufriends. Mrs. Gogg’s colorful sopranois delightful and supplemented by thecharm and graciousness of her mannermade a wonderfully entertaining andsuccessful program. She was enthus-iastically received in all the numbersof her program, showing her wonder-ful breath control and her techniqueand interpretative ability, carrying heraudience with her through the vicis-situdes of joyand sorrow as expressedIp’ the composer. Among her groupof songs rendered are two, which de-serve special mention. “The TwilightHours” by John Wiederhirn and“Mother Song,” by Nyvall, which werewritten for and dedicated to Mrs.Gogg. The composer of the former,will be noticed, was her assistant atthe Wednesday evening recital. Themasterful rendition of her well chos-en numbers bespeaks for her an un-usually successful concert singer.

John Wiederhirn of Chicago, pianist,accompanist and composer, who wasMrs. Gogg’s assistant Wednesdayevening, was enthusiastically receivedby the music lovers of Wausau. Hisplaying was a revelation to m?ny whodid not know’ of the music that couldbe drawn from a piano by an accom-plished musician. Each selection wasplayed with delicacy, grace and feelingand with an individuality allhis -own. His technique is superband such spirited interpretationswere in striking contrast withthe youth of the performer. Among hisnumbers the “Gnomenreigen” (Danceof the Gnomes) by Liszt seemed to bea favorite with the audience.
