The Thanksgiving entertainment and

day evening under the auspices Of the
South Side Ladies' Aid Society was fair
ly we'll attended The entertainment
which proceeded the dance,a program
OF which has already appeared in these
columns, did not run quite ~ smoothly
as it m ght have done. There waI some
little confusion regarding the working
of the electric light in one of the ia
bleux Otherwise the performance was
creditable. The three vocal soloists
showed decided promise, despite the evi-
lack of finish. Miss Marian Zlstnik, of
Two Rivers, possesses temperament in n
marked degree and her voice has suffl-

admit Of a stage career. A little surer
breathing would have helped all three
The hall was rather crowded and
warm for those who wanted to dance,
but on the whole the evening passed off
very pleasantly.

The suit was originally tried before
Judge Chloupek who refused TO allow

evidence was insufficient. Fred
Mueller contended that when he hasten

hospital, the latter asked him to leave
his drug business and take charge of the
brewing interests here, promising to re.
imburse him for having to sell out at q
loss. The testimony of the sole witness

State Brewers
Are Trying to
Get Together
Will Make Concerted Effort To
Do Away With Furniture be.
partments and Other Abuses

The Wisconsin Brewers Association
is making an effort to induce a more
concerted movement among the brewers
of the state TO do away with certain
abuses of long standing which have
crept into the business
1t has for long been the custom
among brewers to practically set up in
business any man who wished to sell
liquor To do this the large breweries
have been compelled to spend thousands
Of dollars yearly in furniture and
supplies In fact many of the larger
concerns have regular furniture depart
ment, and some brewers are owners or
part owners of furni ure factories
This furniture is rented or sold to the
retail dealer usually at loss.
1t is this feature of the business
which the association il trying TO do
away with first. To this end Luther l..
Caufy has been asked to become state
organizer ana TO conduct the campaign.
1t IL not known rs yet whether or no
he wll'undertake the task
Among evils which the Associations
Will aim TO correct IL the selling of
eighth barrels These are not supposed
to be sold and in fact the dealer makes
a deposit of 80 cents for each barrel he
| receives. This is returned to him when
he returns the barrel But the fact is
that the barrel is actually worth much
more than the deposit and in many
| cases the dealer has been in the habit of
keeping the barrel. The loss TO the
brewers OF Wisconsin on this alo' Is
estimated at way into the thousands Of
dollars
When seen by a representative of the
| PILOT, Rheinhart Rahr of the William
| Rahr's Sons Company Of this city
made the remark that the whole matter
was one which had been coming up
year after year but about which moth
ing had even been done While he ad-
mitted that the abuses were damaging
to the business and should be corrected
he was skeptical ahont the likelihood Of
any better organization among the
brewers OF the State.
| On the her hand, Louis Kunz, of
kunz and Beser, denied emphatically
that the matter had even come up be-
fore. He is n member of the executive
committee of the AssO iatiOn He said
that the committee had absolutely moth
ing to give ont a. yet and would not
have until next March, but that the
matter was under consideration.

TO SPEAK AT MADISON ON

Trustee Wernicke Will Advocate Regular
Assessments Before Legislature.

Henry Wernecke, one of the trustees
of the Manitowoc County Iosane Asy-
lum, has gone to Madison to speak be.
fore the Legislature on the subject of
mutual fire insurance among the asyl
ums of the state
Now that the Legislature has passed a
law making provision for such mutual
insurance, it remains with the asylums
of the state simply to carry ont the re
uuirements. These are, among other
things, that ten of the asyluns shall
join in the agreement, which must be
signed 10y thirty of their trustees. Each
tsylum must havea valuation of about
s25. 000
The entire matter is however unsettl.
d as yet and 10 organizing has actual
" commenced There still remain a
iew points that need clearing up before
anything definite can be accomplished
one of these points, and perhaps the
most important one, is that regarding
the manner of assessing the institutions
that join Trustee Wernecke is in IA
vor of II regular yearly assessment with
which TO build up sort Of reserve
fund. This he believes would obviate
in large measure the trouble that might
arise should heavy losses occur within a

of1cial estimate that the postal de-
ficiency for the fiscal year just closed

previous fiscal year was $2,96l,17O.
This big increase is attributed to the
enormous increase in expenditures for

for the year were $134,268,609 and the
expenditures 13s,SS5,Sl2. The de-.

not yet definitely known beyond the
estimate 1nade weeks ago when the
postmaster general thoug ugh It that it
would be 1927 900 by the close Of the
