FIELD DAY.

Field Day for the city schools was
held last Monday after having been
postponed once on account OF bad
weather The impression made the
first time was so good that the school
authorities were urged to arrange for
it again on some nice day when the
complete exercises could be carried
out. The parade the second time was
even better than the first Fine spirit
was manifested by the pupils in the
parade. The High School ESPECIALLY
is to be commended upon the way 1t
turned in parade. Just enough pep
and life was put into the affair so that
it was enjoyed. 1t was not overdone.
A few years ago it was hard to get out
even handful of high school students
for parade of this kind. This is the
kind of spirit that goes toward united
and better condition of things not only
in the school but in the city in general.
People like to see demonstrations like
this and we hope it will be made a
yearly event.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO

Ernst Wagner, Jr,, doesn't know
enough about dogs 10 tell which end
bites. He is Jealous Of the Pilot man s
profound knowledge of the beligerent
end OF the dog and is crticising the
actions of two attorneys and a court
who united in submitting a dog case TO
this famous expert. Ernst wants to
have the lawyers disbarred and the
court impeached for what he calls
their folly in thus selecting An expert.
What the Pilot man sought to have
done was 70 ascertain who was the
owner OF the disputed dog and then fine
him for being such to be followed by
fning the other fellow for wanting tc
own dog. This would eifectually
check litigation on dog matters and
could hardly be called a triumph for
the dog. Could anything be more
equitable unless it would be to cut the
dog in two and give each OF the liti'
gants part2

merce, which is sponsor for this cele-
bration, and should be back of all things
that work for the benefit of the com
munity, socially, commercially and
industrially, believe an article to the
people at this time opportune. | be-
lieve that no better time could have
been selected for the holding of this

Manitowoc have satisfied themselves,
through the support given the organi-
zatiun of new Chamber of Commerce,
that to make a city, and TO develop the
benefits nature has bestowed upon the
city of Manitowoc, are possible through
the aid and cooperation OF all the peo:
pie. Examples of the results of this
kind OF cooperation and aid can be
pointed to in the accomplishments OF
cities around us.
The people of this city have revived
this kind Of spirit that brings results,
and to get the people still more united
in action and good fellowship we be.
lieve big community affair OF this
kind that is contemplated is going tc
be of great benefit not only amongst
ourselves, but in showing the people
beyond our corporate lines that we,
the people OF Manitowoc, want to dc
things, The impression we give ou!
visitors, the spirit of progress, unset
fshness and good fellowship among the
citizens of Manitowoc, ought to go a
great way toward helping to make

every citizen. Let us show our loyalty
by getting back Of this great commune
ty festival, the home coming and Inde
pendence day celebration, to be helt
