In spite of his most strenuous efforts
Father KnckerbOCkcr Is unable to build
new sChOplhOuScS fast enough to accom-
modate his rapidly growing army of
school children. Consequently when the
doors of the city schools open next week
there will he SOOO children for whom
there will be no seats and who will be
able TO attend school only for part time.
Five years ago there were more than
10000 pupils on part time. by rushing
work on a large number of new buildings
tho number was cut down to a few thous-
and two years later. At that time. how
ever, the amount OF the City's borrow
ings approa Ched so near the debt limit
set hv law that it was necessary to
modify the building program and to pro-
coed more slowly. As result the num-
Der of children of school age Is again
rapidly outstripping the number of avail
able sittings. That the task Of supplying
youngsters of the city with school facili-
ties is no light one may be seen from the
tact that in order to keep up with the
increase of child population II IS neces-
sary to open a new school building every
month.

The Theatrical Managers association
which Is constantly embroied with the
NJ iCal union made up of members OF the
city and travelling theatrical orchestras
believes that 1t has found solution to
this part of rs troubles in a new device
which is now being installed in one of
the new theatres here. This is what Ia
known as n unit orchestra in which all
the instruments comprised in an orches-
ira OF 30 or 40 pieces are operated from
single keyboard arranged like that OF an
organ and requiring but single opera
tor The device Is the invention of a
British engineer and has been endorsed
by prominent opera stars as providing a
thoroughly satisfactory accompaniment.
Whether 1t will work in actual practice
remains to be seen, but naturally the
managers are interested in anything that
promises to enable them to cut down the
expense and avoid the troubles that ,ney
incur in dealing with musicians and tho
musical temperament

the advantage of produce fresh from the
farm at rates no higher than they nave

farmers engaged in this cooperative
movement will receive better prices than
at present when it Ia claimed that CD to

original producer. The farmers are back

ready to provide several times this

the chief staples that are to be handled.
Tho experiment is being watched with
great interest by the consuming public
which sees in it the possibility of relief
from continued bondage to high prices
and of escape from the clutches Of the

the establishment by associations Of
farmers of similar distributing plants in

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

SAD ACCIDENTAL German lad, aged
16 years, named John Human, met
with a serious accident at Reedsville,
about two weeks since. He was en-
ployed in the grist mill in that village,
and while near some of the machinery,
had his right arm drawn into the cogs
until it was entirely mutilated. When
rescued, his arm was complete mass
of flesh and bones mixed together.
DR.. Schenke, of this village, was inn
mediately called, who amputated the
arm, and the young man is now in this
village, under the doctors care. He is
a bright and intelligent lad, well spok-
en- of by the people in the neighbor-
hood of Reedsville, who manifest deep
regret at his misfortune. We learn
that a movement is on foot among the
benevolent to raise a fund for his edu-
cation. From what we learn, he is
worthy of it.

SPRING ELECTION.

ASIDE from the candidates for city,
town and village offices the voters of
this county will have little to interest
them at the election next Tuesday. y
justice of the supreme court is to be
elected to succeed Judge j, Vinje who
is filing the uneXpired term of de-
ceased Judge. Mr.. Vinje has no OPP
position. G. w. Meinest is a candi-
date to succeed himself as county
Superintendent of schools and has no
opposition. This speaks well for him.
He has been a good perintendent,
capable and faithful, and good services
merit reward.
In this city there will be a lively
contest between Isaac Cratic and
Henry Stole, for mayor. Chas. Frazier
has withdrawn from the race. All
voters who do not stand for the fallacy
of socialism should turn out on election
day and vote for Isaac Cratic.
There will be three cornered fight
for alderman in the second ward,
Grover Meyer, Dem; n. f. Hook, Rep.
and Ed. Thorisen, Independent.

The NEW DAIRY ASSOCIATION.

The International Dairy Association
has Just been organized by the promi-
nent dairy men of the State OF Wiscon-
sin. The purpose of the Association
is the promotion of the dairy interests
in the State of Wisconsin and nation
and the encouraging of the breeding
of pure bred dairy cattle and the hold
ing Of an annual international dairy
show. At this show all of the leading
dairy breeds of cattle will be exhibited
and in addition thereto all machinery,
appliances, tools and fixtures used by
the farmer in the dairy business. The
| United States Government and the
University of Wisconsin will also pro-
vide a fine Dairy Exhibit at these an
nual shows and will also have repre-
sentatives on the ground to furnish the
dairy farmer with such information as
he may require. Wisconsin is now
! the second dairy state in the United
States, New York holding first place
by a very small margin. Wisconsin IS
primarily dairy state and with the
development Of the northern portion
Of same, which is an ideal dairy coun-
try, and 10y our farmers in the southern
half of the state going more extensively
into the breeding Of full blood dairy
cattle, we should easily eclipse New
York next year. Manitowoc County is
one Of the leading Dairy Counties OF
the State Of Wisconsin and We wish tc
congratulate our farmers on the pro.
gress they have made in dairying, es.
pecially by the introduction of pure
bred dairy cattle.
We note with interest the number
Of pure bred bulls being shipped into
this County. only last week two ful
blood Guernseys were purchased b.

G. f. Patzer was compelled to resign
the principalship of the Third ward
school because of i'll health. Mr.. Pat
ger was one of the most promising
teachers Of the state and with his am

his health remained good. His place
has been taken 10y Albert Guttman
who up to the present has had charge
of the grammar department Of the
First ward school. That department
has for the present been discontinued

Brown Tail Moths.

Complaints are being made to the
city government by property owners
who have cleaned the brown tail moth
nests from their trees that many own
ers of adjoining property have failed
to do so.
The city has, at great expense, re-
moved the nests from trees i'll the
streets as required by law and property
owners justly feel that after paying
taxes Tor that expenditure, and the eX-
pense OF removing nests from their
AoWn trees that it is an injustice for
adjoining property owners to neglect
theirs.
The law provides that when owners
of private property neglect their trees
that the city may employ men to do
1t and add the expense to the taxes on
the property.
Attention is called to the fact that
the nests contain little caterpillars
that We're hatched last fall, not eggs
as many suppose). On the first warm
days they crawl out of the nests and it
will then be too late. In fact it is only
the backwardness of the season that
makes it possible to remove them now
