in the field.
Being graduate only last spring
| thought few lines concerning my
experiences might be interesting. Re-
lating my experiences from San
Francisco, in company with sixteen
missionaries, with our passports Sc
cure, trunks packed on board ship,
watched the parting scene. There
were many friends gathered and
many streamers of various colors be
ing held by friends. At the appoint
ed time the signal was given and then
all was astr. The "Sierra" was let
loose and began to pull away. The
good ship splashed out into the har-
Dor like a thing of life, while there
were sounds of farewell, cheers and
songs from the crowd The stream
ers we're broken one by one, and
friends saying goodbye, perhaps for
ever. Now the ship was well out in
to the harbor and steered seward.
The sounds of farewell were still to
be heard, but we had said goodbye
to the people and to our native land.
A few hours found us well out into
the ocean, and even now the land was
appearing very dim in the distance.
We had set forth on nineteen days
journey, six days before we would
see land again. The first day or so
almost everyone exerienced sea-sick-
ness. However, things soon Gained
down giving US a pleasant voyage and
had an enjoyable time in converse
tions, playing music, singing, read
ing and playing various games on
deck.
Six days landed us at Honolulu, on
the Island of Oahu, which is in the

CONSERVING NATIONS FOOD
The National Food Problem from a
Physiologic Standpoint.
By DR.. X. Il. Daniels,


There is no question but what the
world is facing an alarming food
shortage. AS a result of a number of
factors, the amount Of food per capita
in the world is at this time much less
than for many years There is one
sort of food economy about which lit
tie has been said, and this is personal
economy. There is need for greater
economy in the kitchen, Foods which
usually are pared, like potatoes and
other vegetables, should be scraped
or scrubbed, or cooked with the peel
ings on, At the table each plate
should be served with only what food
the individual is going to eat, All
the scraps which find their way back
to the kitchen should be in some way
utilized. Food is also wasted by be-
ing cooked so as to be difficult of dig
estion.s Hot breads, fresh breads, and
pastries are never entirely dgested
the portion which remains undigested
is wasted

R0BS CHINAMAN, GETS a. MONTHS

A transient calling himself Thomas
Brennan was taken into custody last
Saturday charged with larceny. The
testimony showed that Thomas visited
the Chinese laundry on south Sth street
and when the chink in charge was not
paying attention he coolly picked up a
suit case and departed. The police
found him trying to dispose OF it. The
sight OF celestial testifying and the
worry unusual glibness and familiarity
with court proceedings OF the defendant
distinguished the case from the usual
petty cases that make up the grind in
municipal court. He claimed that q
friend had given him the case and asked
him to dispose OF it. He evinced a
familiarity with court room lingo
that made it probable that this was not
his first experience in the dock. The
Chinaman identified him positively as
the stranger who left at the same time
the suit case disappeared and all of
Thomas protests were unavaillng.
District Attorney Brady had the goods
on him and he will expiate the oiTense
OF robblng a heather by four months
at hard labor. The few hangers-on
who wanted to see the Chinaman
sworn by decapitating a chicken se-
cording to common belief OF the way
one OF them is sworn were disappoint.

CLARK PLEASES AGAIN.

Charles w. Clark who appeared in
the Artists Course OF the Monday Music
Club two years ago offered Sacred Re
cital last Sunday afternoon as the fifth
number of this years course. The
fact that Mr.. Clark's work vas known
in the city brought out the largest au-
dience OF the season. They were not
disappointed. The recital was up TO
the Clark standard. His wonderful
baritone voice was never better. The
audience was responsive and Mr.. Clark
seemed to be inspired to put his all
into singing.
The program was adapted to Sunday.
Three songs in German brought thun-
derous response from the audience.
"That sweet story of Old" first sung
by Mr.. Clark and made popular by him
was sung. He was frequently encored
and was generous in responses. Mr..
Clark has become Manitowoc favorit'
and an annual concert by him would
become fixture.
Music lovers are looking forward to
April 20th when Maud Powell will
close thia seasons course, AS most oi
the opera house Is sold out in advance
IL will be hard TO secure seat for the
Powell concert unless 1t is done soon.

THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT,

7 o the Editor OF the Pilot
We read with interest the article
in the last issue of the Pilot by the
Misbicot voter.
1t is right that every one should ex-
press his or her opinion on current
questions, but we fail to see why the
office of Circuit Judge should be COM
pared to that of the Office of Supt. of
Schools and cannot agree with the ar
guments used. We do believe that a
person may hold an Office zoo long to
the detriment of the Office and that
there are times when there should be
a change regardless of the number of
years a man may be in Office. When
such time arrives, it is for the majority
of the voters to make the decision.
We are sorry we cannot agree with
all the nice things said Of our present
However, we are OF
the same opinion as the person an ex-
teacher of the county and considered
as one of the best our county ever had
and who has held the office OF Supt OF
Schools, who said, 81 believe that a
change in the Office of County Supt.,
would be for the best interests of
the schools of Manitowoc Co." There
is not the least question OF doubt in our
mind that II the people OF the county
decide TO make a change, those who
cast their vote for Joseph Voboril, will
never have cause for regret He will
bring into the Office new life and ideas
and will be an untiring worker to ad-
vance the schools of Manitowoc County.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.
"A SUCCESSFUL MAN


Mr.. O. Torrison came to Manitowoc
Rapids in lS4S. He was then young
man of 20 years. He left Norway two
years before and these he spent at Port
" ashington where he attended school.
His first work at the Rapids village
was clerking in the store OF Baker &
oeardsley. There were three general
stores in the village at that time, the
one mentioned and Adam Bleser. l..
Sherman had snoe store and tannery.
IL was still the county seat and the
village is described AS beautiful. The
number of saw mills along the river
made business lively. The surround
ing country was then being settled, but
the pioneers found it necessary while
clearing their lands to make provision
for present wants by making shingles.
The Rapids was the chief market for
this article of barter Though Mani
towoc was then supplied with stores, a
great many of the Manitowoc people
even as late as 1850, made large part
of their purchases at the Rapids. Mr..
Armsby came to the village about the
same time MIR. Torrison did. Both
young fellows slept in the garret of
the store building. Their bed was Of
the primitive style, being made up on
the floor.
The Rapids had quite an advantage
over Manitowoc in the fact that the
road leading to the latter passed
through the former. What Is known
as the Calumet road was not then
open. In 1850 Baker 81 Bsardsley re-
moved their stock TO Manltowoc. Mr..
Torrison came with them, still in the
capacity OF clerk. Soon after the
stock was sold 10 Il. Il. Smith and Cap
tain Smith, and Mr.. Torrison remained
with them for two years, He then
formed partnership with a man
named Nordvi and they opened a gen.
eral store near the Windiate House.
Later they rented from X. K. Jones
the building now known as the Jones
Library building and remained here
until the store was removed TO Elgh b
street GEAR the river,
There are few men who started life
as a clerk in village store and who
savings as a capital, who have done
more than Mr. Torrison has. When
one looks at his large store, fine resi-.
dence and his other extensive proper
ty and then thinks Of the clerk in the
village store "A years ego, he cannot
help admiring the industry and bust.
ness ability which have wrought the
change.

NUMBER 3S
ATTY. NASH NEED NOT ANSWER.

The judgment of Court Commission
er Harry Kelley dning Attorney A. L.
Nash $500 with the alternative OF
Jail sentence has been reversed by
Judge Kirwan IN Circuit Court.
Mr.. Nash was summoned at the in
stance Of Hougen s. Brady to appear
before the commissioner to have nis
deposition taken to be used in the mat
ter Of motion for continuance made
by Nash and Nash plaintiffs in the
Windiate- Markham case in circuit
court. Mr.. Hougen asked Mr.. Nash to
relate certain conversation with his
client, Mrs. Windidate, and produce
certain shorthand notes OF the CONVEX
sation. Mr.. Nash refused on the
ground that the law forbids an attorn-
ey disclosing confidential communica-
tions from client. Mr.. Hougen ar
gued that the privilege had been
waived by the plaintiff having Set
forth much Of the conversation in his
affidavit supporting the motion for con-
tinuance and that the plaintiff having
opened the door the other side could
go in. Mr.. Nash said that parts Of the
conversation not disclosed by the alfii.
davit would now be disclosed if ne were
required to answer.
1t was a nice legal point and the
commissioner ruled against the wit
ness. Mr., Nash still refused to COM
ply and was held to be in contempt of
court and judgment was entered
against him and continent of his
person threatened il the fine was not
paid within n hours. A stay was Sc
cured and the matter was argued be-
fore Judge Klrwan month ago. The
court has now filed an opinion revers.
ing the Commissioner and holding that
Mr.. Nash need not answer the cues.
tions, produce the notes, pay the fine
nor go to jail. The other side must
pay $40 costs OF motion to the plaintiff.
On the main point, in fact the point
on which the controversy turned be-
fore the commissioner, that is, wheth-
er the plaintiffs privilege under the
the statutes had been waived by MAX
ing and filing the affidavit, the con-
tentons of Mr.. Hougen and the ruling
Of the commissioner were upheld by
the court. If the question of privi.
legged communication were the only
question the witness would have been
required to answer on all points in
cluded IN the alidAYit. The Judgment
of the commissioner was reversed on
technical points of evidence and prac.
tice not raised by counsel, apparently
mainly Gu the ground that the wit
ness's evidence would not be admis-
sible for the purposes for which it was
sought. Lawyers say that the circuit
courts opinion in this matter is not
appealable.

| read the article in last weeks
Pilot by. "a Voter" from Mishicot and
want to say "thems my sentiments"
Mr.. Meisnest has served acceptably
for several years. He is an all around
good superintendent; then why change?
The good book says "hold fast to that
which is good" The jumping into the
race by Mr.. Voboril at this time when
there is not the least call for it, indi-
Gates that he is lame In his judgment
of the people of Manitowoc county.
OF course he has The right 70 run for
the office. He also has the right to
butt his head against the iron bridge
at the Rapids, but what sense Is there
in doing either when the result will
only be sorrowful memory? The
voters should remember Supt. Meis.
nests splendid record and work for his
reelection. We have a good man at
the head of our schools and | say let
US keep him there. AS there is con.
test on In order to do so we must turn
out on election and vote for him.

REFLECT SUPT. MElSNEST.

One of the duties devolving upon
voters OF Manitowoc county, exclusive
OF the cities of Manitowoc and Two
Rivers, at the election April will
be to choose a county superintendent
OF schools. The case is one In whic b
the wsest course will be to re-elect
the present superintendent. Mr.. Meis-
nest has made good to such an extent
that even his little crop Of enemies are
unable to say much against him. The
safe and sensible thing to do is to re.
elect him.
