WITHDRAWALS OF WHISKEY
BREAK ALL RECORDS.

The war tax and prohibition out
look brought the total of withdraw
ais of whiskey from bonded ware
houses during July up to 2S,00O,OOO
gallons, three times the normal and
higher than any month for %
wears. The entire volume of with
drawals was in eastern, middle
western and southern districts.
The only parallel was in 1894 just
before Congress raised the tax on
whisky from 80 cents to s1.1O a
gallon.
Withdrawals in August are con-
tinuing at the rate of approximately
1000, 900 gallons a day.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.

The Department for Community
Affairs OF the Manitowoc Chamber Of
Commerce expects, early in April to
start movement for utilizing the
garden space in Manitowoc, so large
saving may be effected this coming
year on foodstuffs, in Manitowoc.
Rising costs of foodstuifs make big
spring drain on the resources OF the
average houshold. The keeper OF the
family purse doesn't need to be told
that farm prices in January averaged
more than fifty per cent, higher than
| in the past nine years. Prices to con-
sumers have been even higher due to
delayed transportation. The consumer
tries boycotts or turns to the Govern
ment for relief. Investigations and
new laws are advocated, but results
come slowly in these channels and a
more reliable remedy is needed one
more nearly within the control OF the
individual.
For thousands of families the answer
| lies in the home garden. Even on the
farms the Importance OF the garden,
coupled with good canning and pre-
serving is not fully appreciated. The,
self-supportlng farm table is still too
rarely found. The farm pantry that
cannot furnish plenty Of fruit and
vegetables to supply the table with a
variety OF dished throughout the
winter is an evidence OF shortsighted
management.
Many city and suburban families can
also find in the garden protection
from excessive food prices. They may
not own deslreable garden land, but
every town or city is surrounded by
thousands OF acres of vacant land that
may be utilized The vacant lot gard
ems have been promoted with surpris-
ing results in some places and the idea
needs to be spread broadcast.
Owners OF vacant land should be
urged TO offer it for garden purposes.
Uniform rules must be made To safe
guard individual rights, to protect
growing crops and to compel the gard.
eners to leave the land in as neat and
clean condition as 1t was found. The
newspapers can help by printing local
garden plans and advice by successful
gardeners, and by developing local
sentiment that will foster the idea.
''Feed yourself" is good farm
economy and first principle for a
family as we'll as for nation.

SCHOOL LAWS

The following questions on school
law have been asked the past two
months.
| Question:-Must the door on school
house swing toward the outside?
Answer:-The door on building o.
more than one department must swing
to the outside but on n one department
school it need not according to law
swing to the outside.
Question:-W pays for the disin
fecting of a school house in case of &
contagious disease?
| Answer:-The town board. The
work is done by the health officers o
the town and the town must pay for it
Question:--A grade teacher issued
report cards on Friday, and asked th,
children to bring them back Monday
morning. A ten -year-old child did no,
bring back the card on Monday. He
was asked to bring it on Tuesday. II
| was not brought on Tuesday. The
child goes home for dinner at noon
but did not bring back the card OF
| Tuesday noon. The teacher sent the
child home after it. The child brought
it. The next morning the mother of the
child came to school about $3.50 and
gave the teacher tongue-lashing and
IN. hax oil al
school. Can the mother have the
teacher expelled or punished in any
way?
Answer:-She can not. The mother
was entirely in the wrong and had no
business whatever TO appear In the
schoolroom and talk to the teacher in
the way she did because her child was
made to bring his report card. The
mother by her action in talking to the
teacher in this way in the schoolroon
laid herself liable 10 arrest and punish
ment under the law. (From another
county.)
Question:-Is a teacher permitted to
dismiss school without consulting the
school board by simply telling the
children the evening before that,
There will be no school tomorrow?
Answer:-Such action on the part of
the teacher Is breach of her contract,
even though she is willing later TO
make up the time lost. 1t is her duty
to consult the school board in matters
of this kind. Teachers should not, and
legally can not, take matters Of this
kind into their owr hands.
Question:-H the school board any
right to give teacher days not pro.
vided for by law2
Answer:-No. The board can only
allow teacher the legal holidays and
days for attending teachers meetings
or school board convention. II school
IL dismissed or any other days these
days must be made up by the teach r.

Watch Your Sten.

A prominent country priest, well
known for his humor, In speaking of a
sad accident that befell one of our
good ecclesiastical dignitaries the
other evening, humorously remarked.
"The man who goes along this mum
dane sphere keeping both eyes on
heaven all the time Is liable to trip
and land in heaven pretty quick. But
the man who always keeps one eye
on heaven and the other good one on
earth is liable to gain the best in
heaven and earth"

NC C'MAHON TALK PLEASES.

The annual meeting of the Manito-
voc Cham Der of Commerce was held
at banquet at the Orpheum theatre
last Tuesday evening. 1t was the end
OF the first year under the present form
of organization with paid secretary.
Covers were laid for 225 and only few
seats were vacant. The supper began
at 6:30 o'clock. President John @.
Johnson opened the meeting and pre-.
sented the gavel to City Attorney
Harry Kelley, who acted rs toastmas-
ter. Upon request a few remarks
we're given by Mr. Frank Smith, Sec
retary of the Green Bay association Of
commerce, Mr.. Ansorge of the Green
Bay retailers association, and secre-
tary G.oe of the Two Rivers CONNER
cial association. The toastmaster then
gave brief resume of the yeai S work
and stated that the chamber had glori-
ously justified itself. He then called
attention to the fact that from one
small section of Southern Manitowoc
County number of men have come to
enrich the service of the county and
the state, and mentioning particularly
John Nagle, Michael Kirwan and John
Barnes, and a few others. This led up
to the introduc ion of the guest of the
evening, Edward e. Mcmahon, who
was born in this same section of Nee
me. Mr.. Mcmahon is now secretary
of the combined ST. Paul and Minneap-
oils associations, at the head of a force
OF over sixty people and is reputed to
be drawing salary of Sl5, 10000 per
year. He talked for an hour and half
and had the rapt attention of his audi
dience until the close. The title of the
talk was 1.-THE Evolution of Co-opera-
tion" and he built up mis- subject by
showing the necessity Of co operation,
first in the individual himself, then in
the domestic circle, then in business
concerns and finally in the community.
The delivery was rapid, the address
was packed with thought and even
though covering SO much time it was a
marvel of condensation. 1t was spen-
didly worded and impressively deliver
ed. When it was over no one was left
wondering why McMahon has in that
short time pushed into the front rank
of the United States in the field of
community welfare work. P. J. Nc
Mahou, who was present from Milwau-
kee, might be pardoned a feeling of
pride at the performance OF his distin-
gnished soo, Il wss happy theDgslt slt
to get Mr.. Mcmahon here on this occas
sion, and the inspiring message he de-
livered should have been heard by ev-
cry citizen of the town.
Five new directors were elected for
a three years term from fifteen names
submitted. Four had clear majority.
They were A. L. Nash, Stanley Eckel,
Max Richter and II. j. Findlan.
Charles Esch and A. G, Worel we're
tied for the fifth place and Mr.. Worel
won the lot drawing. The ladies quar-
tette of the Chamber of Commerce,
Misses Alice Carey, Brittel, Conway
and Mrs. Primm rendered several
songs that evoked encores. Two pro-
posed amendments to the chamber S
articles of Incorporation received a fav-
orable vote of a large majority of the
members present but failed because
they received less than majority OF
the entire membership which the law
requires.

OBITUARY Y.-Mulholland.- her
home in Manitowoc, on the morning OF
the 18th inst, of consumption, Bridget
P. wife OF Henry Mulholland, Jr.
Deceased was the eldest daughter OF
Peter Trainor, Esq, of Msnitowoc Ra-
pids, and on the dav of her death had
just completed her 26th year. She
was a native Of Co. Louth, Ireland and
was brought to this country when an
infant two weeks old and with her par
ents resided near gdensburgh, N. Y.
for a few years, and from thence re-
moved to Manitowoc County some 16
years. Deceased was a devout men,
ber of the Roman Catholic Church, and
was brought up in the strictest princi-
piles of her religion, and adorned her
professions by practicing all the vir-
tues inculcated by it, With conscient.
ious fidelity, bearing her long sickness
with the greatest patience and resig-
nation-exhorting her friends and rel
atives to the practice of virtue and the
discharge of their duties, in order that
they might all join her in heaven, and
died as she lived sincere Christian.
The deceased was of an exceedingly
mild, amiable and retiring disposition
and was much loved and respected by
all who were favored with her acquain
tance. To all upon whom this atflict-
ing blow falls we tender our sincere
sympathy, and especially do we console
and mourn with the young widowed
husband, who Is SO early beretit of his
chosen companion, and the tender
child that shall know no more a moth.

Great Father send consolation to all,
HIGH WATER. I'VE learn that all
our Lumbermen have plenty OF water
for running their logs down the river.
Messrs. Cooper and Jones had good
running water and their immense
stock were largely on the move on
Wednesday OF last week, and with the
facilities they have since enjoyed, 1t
must be well nigh certainty, that
they get all their winters stock out
this spring.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

DISASTROUS FIRE.-On Monday
night about l0:45 boy in the rattling
room of the factory of the Manitowoc
Manufacturing Co. discovered small
flame near the finishing department.
He at once ran to turn in en alarm and
was soon startled by sound Ike an
explosion. Flames soon leaped forth
and 1t was soon apparent that the fac
tory in which the city took SO mich
pride was doomed. Although TIE fire
department was promptly on hand
there was not the least possible chance
for its checking the progress OF the
flames. The streams of water turned
to steam before reaching the seat OF
the ire and made no impression what
ever. Soon thousands OF people had
assembled but all were powerless to
stay the destructive flame which leaped
toward the skies. The employees were
heart broken at the sight and every
one felt that the city in the destruc-
tion OF this factory was receiving q
blow from which it could recover only
by united and earnest effort.
The buildings burned until o'clock
in the morning and fremen were play
ing on the smoldering ruins as late as
8 o'clock on Tuesday. The intensity
of the heat was such that the hose
caught fire and several lengths of it
were burned.
The loss is esteemed at $4,000.
There is an insurance of 100000
The Company made an assignment
on Tuesday. w. ID. Richards was
made the assignee, giving bonds in the
amount OF $4,000. He is already at
work making an inventory and pre-
pairing to wind up the affairs OF the
concern.
The blow 10 Manitowoc will be by
no means as severe as appearances
would indicate. The movement al
ready afoot il properly supported will
restore things in as good shape as they
we're. But confidence and cooperation
are necessary to effect this and every
one should feel like extending both
and thus save the city from disaster.
One Of the results OF the fire OF Mon
cay night was the closing Of the bank
of I. 9. Shove Banking Co. on Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Shove had carried the
Manitowoc Manufacturing Co. for
large amount and when 1t went up In
smoke his loss was such that he deciG-
ed upon making an assignment. The
factory may be said to have been his
creation and his present embarrassment
is due To the public spirit lac has shown
In aiding the enterprises from which
the city was reaping its prosperity
Every one expressed the sincerest
sympathy for him as it was evident to
all that his loss was due TO the loss the
public sustained in the destruction of
the factory. There was but little ex.
citement Notwithstanding that the
doors OF the bank we're closed but there
was decidedly panicky feeling as the
suspension OF bank owing to its busi-
ness ramfcations is very serious
matter. The bapk was the depostary
of the county funds and had in It's vault
a part OF the city funds. The amount
of the county money deposited there
is S5l 900.
Mr.. Piening has been appointed as
sigDee and was required TO furnish
bond OF 100000 This he secured by
Iuesday evening and al once entered
into the discharge OF the duties OF his
position.
