theories are finding support and he is
diligently working them out. He has
found weather cycles which he believes
accord with the suns rotation, while
believe they accord with the planetary
positions. His difficulty lies in the un-
fortunate fact that the SUMS rotation
period is not and probably cannot be
known, while the planetary positions,
on which rely, are known to the hour
Therein lie the differences between

There are three other prominent the

view. Another theory has for its base
the sunspots as cause. Garriott the

BOOST MANIT0W0C.

For many years in the progress OF thls
community the village and later the
CITY of Manitowoc could depend upon
the trade from the surrounding country
for a considerable portion of its subsis'
fence. During that period the large
brsiness firms Of this city could afford
70 look TO that trade more or less I'M
mindful Of what was Immediately about
them People were obliged to come to
the city with their produce and to trade
here. That condition has passed. VII
lagos. railway stations, country stores
of all kinds, blacksmith and wagon
making shops, elevators, etc, have
sprung up, and the farmers trade
though ii has grown largely, and now
exists in great abundance, does not reach
the city. Like the waters that no"
through sands it is absorbed before IL
gets here. The people who furnish that
trade do not hare to rely upon the city,
They can rely upon HcDSclrcS now, The
consequence is that the city ana It's
large firms cannot any longer rely upon
them. That resource is gone and
change has come over the spirit of our
dreams.
Those who have grown wealthy from
that trade-they who "bave to stay
here" are unfortunately not situated for
ADEQUATE wholesale trade in their lines.
They must. therefore, buckle down to
work in earnest for the advancement,
the growth, the real development OF
Mauitowoc This must be done. The
day of Judgment or the dawn of new
commercial era in the history of this
city is at hand. The recent dredging OF
the river, the proposed expenditure OF
nearly half a million dollars by the
government for the improvement of the
harbor and the building of n SO OOO post
office are undertakings whichaugur well
for the growth Of the city. The time Is
at hand for the people of this city to
eliminate agitation and substitute
harmony and disposition to look after
new industries Every citizen can help
some He can at least trade here and
speak good word for Manitowoc. The
practice Of buying from mail order
houses is but the performance of fealty
to a foreign nation, and is not right,
