CANNING Of PEAS FINISHED.

"We have practically closed our
pack of peas at the several plants and
the season has been most successful
one. The quality of the pack this
year is superior and compared TO ac-
reage the output is larger" said An
drew johnson OF the Wisconsin Pea
Gamers company who has just retur
ned from Minneapolis and tour of the
company's plants in the northern part
of the state.
The season was late in getting start
ed this year owing to the weather CON
ditions but generally, the weather has
been favorable and the absence of eX-
tremly hot weather gave the peas a
longer time and the canning was not
rushed as has been the case in the for
mer years.
With the closing of the pea canning
the three plants of the Wisconsin com
pany in this city, Two Rivers and She
boygan will start upon the packing of
string beans, this work being taken up
at once with the close of the pea sea-
son. Officers OF the company say that
the season has been a very satisfactory
one for all crops,
Picking of beans was started this
morning.

BASE BALL

Manitowoc played at Sheboygan Sun
day ah} 'eate& the chaiBmakers Il Ia
/. The following account of the game
is taken from the Sheboygan Press,
The most humilating defeat of the
season was handed the Chairmakers
yesterday, and it was done by the Old
enemy, Manitowoc. Playing ragged
ball at critical times, the locals practi-
cally donated the game to HerZogs
band, the final count being 6 to !.
Although Hank Schultz was wild at
times and was touched for five good
clouts, errors were directly responsible
for the loss of the game. Hank S sup
port was rotten and the lmpire was
still worse. The big hurler fought an
uphill battle all the way and against
odds that he could not overcome.
When Buster Braun booted a ia t
grounder in the third two runs crossed
the plate and the Manitowoc bunch
clinched the contest in the ninth when
Oak Henning kicked IA ground ball in
to right field and two more runners
scored. Some bone-head plays also
contributed to the downfall of the
Chairmakers.
The locals scored one lone tally in
the seventh when Buster Braun went
all the way around on high fly which
kulimau dropped and then threw the
pill into the crowd back of third in try
ing TO catch the runner. Buster clout-
the ball hard but his batting hardly re-
deemed the poor work at short.
The visitors scored the first run in
the second frame. Kullman walked
and was forced at second on Shocks
grounder to Schultz Shook stole Sec
ond and scored on McGlynn's hit to
right field. In the fourth Shook open
ed with double to right and Leopold
followed with clean hit to right gar
den and stole second. Reuthec hit hot
ground ball to short and Buster made
his famous boot of the bail, donating
two runs. After McGlyn and Ruth had
heen put down Charles doubled to right
field and Reuther scored,
With one down in the ninth Charles
reached first on Busters tumble and
took second on Herzog's hiJ to center.
Both advanced on Harvey's error and
scored on Henning's boot of an easy
roller by Kullman. The latter was
caught of the bag.
Reuther outiielder for the Edelbraus
made his DEBUT with Manitoaoc and
showed up we'll for an amatuer. Ray
Springborn was on the bench but haG
no trail in the box Stoney McGlynn
kept the hits scattered and worked in
old time form The Chairmakers we're
unable to find him when hits meant
runs.

THE VEST OF EDuCATION.

The test Of good education is the
degree Of menta, culture which IL i'm
parts; for education, 50 far as its object
is scientific, is the discipline Of the
mind. The reader must not overlook
what is meant by the word when used
in reference to education. That some
dumb animals are possessed Of sort of
und srstandng Is admitted; but it has
never been asserted that they enjoy
the use of reason. Man, however, has
the faculty called reason in addition to
his understanding. Accord.
ingly, what we mean by saying that
the object Of education is the caltiya-
tion Of our minds, or that the goodness
OF an education varies with the degree
Of mental culture, amounts simply TO
this, that we better perform our func-
tions as rational creatures in proportion
as we carry farther the distinction be-
tween ourselves and the brute creation,
that Is, in proportion as we are better
fitted for the discourse OF reason. John
w. Donaldson.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in adjourned session
Monday evening. The meeting was
ostenslbly for the pu rpose of acting up
on dredging and bridge repair bids on
ly or rather recommending action to
the board of pubic works, but lot OF
other small things came up.
The council few months ago deter
mined to have dredging done to the eX-
tent of the $500 raised tor that purpose
and now available. Bids were now IN,
the lowest being the Wisconsin Dredge
and Dock Company. Some aldermen
thought there was danger of the dredge
company going right on doing dredging
at the cits's expense aher the $500
worth of mud had beeu scooped out.
Bigel thought there was danger that
a little more dredging would be neces-
sary IN excess of the amount oruered
and that an extortionate rate would be
charged for this excess.
w. Schroeder called Engineer PITT
who quieted their fears. Scherer
seemed to be opposed TO all dredging,
asserting that it is of no benefit TO the
city, but on vote he had no support.
The contract was awarded to the Wis
consin Company. PITT said that the
work L be merely scraping out soft
stuff that has accumulated in the o d
channel and that an Is foot channel
can be dredged to the upper coal dock
for the sum to be spent.
No one having bid for building a con-
crete stairway down the lake bank at
state street the street commissioner
was instructed to do the work.
The job of repairing 10th street
bridge was let to Nc Mullen and PITT
who were the lowest bidders. 1t is Il
small job on the bridge protection.
The engineer was instructed to pre-
pare plans and specifications for new
big boiler TO replace two old boilers at
the pumping plant. Nienauber called
attention TO the danger of the new big
boiler getting out of commission leav-
ing only one small boiler to protect the
cily. The mayor smothered the objec
tion in words.
Scherer demanded to know "who
gave Chief Krat2 authority to sell two
fire horses" Thorison said that bis
committee had been instructed to re-
port OF this and on the rule limiting
the motor fire trucks territory, at the
next meeting. Mc'keepgh who wants.
the truck to run out to the sixth ward
on first alarms expressed impatience Il
the delay.
An ordinance from G. Schroeder,
chairman of the committee on santa
ton, was introduced. 1t forbids cess
pools and sewage vaults on premises
that have sewar and water facilities
available. II gives 90 days time to
make connections. Scherer voiced his
dsapproval but the mayor wouldn': let
the matter be debated until the ques-
tion of adoption is before the council
Someone wanted to take up the new
stone crusher project but the mayor,
who originated the idea, explained that
it has been determined that by buying
two more little tram cars and putting
on few more men the output Of the
present crusher can be very greatly
increased. enough in fact to use up all
the funds available for street work.
This put a sudden end to the new
crusher notion.
A number of curbs and cutters were
approved.
The work took less than an hour ard
the meeting adjourned before 9 o'clock.

REVERENCE FOR THE FLAG.

President Woodrow Wilson once said
in an address that, while he had pro-
found reverence for the national flag,
he doubted very much "the utility of
the worship of the flag now taught in
the public schools" Every loyal
American should reverence the flag,
but while this is true, manJ will agree
with President Wilson that no good
can come of worshipping the flag.
There is much maudin sentimentality
about the flag that is neither respect
Dor reverence. 1t is thought to be pa
Uriotism, but IL is the merest nonsense.
