Charley Peterson does not like
the idea of having two or three
persons who establish the grade
for the city. When Charley was
erecting his building he paid ten
dollars to see that it was built to
grade but when the street survey
ors came along he found that bis
building was six or eight inches
tao low. Now he is laying his con
crete walk according to the grade
given him by the county surveyor,
but according to the city grade now
established this is too low.

Walk For Health.

A state board of health advises:
"Take time to walk--or make time to
walk. The pernicious habit of hopping
on trolley car to go block or two
robs many of the necessary health pre-
serving exercise they should have.
Walk for health!'
The recommendation Is sound, but
why should those who ride in automO-
biles be left out? The inveterate users
Of motorcars need to be told to walk
more quite rs much as the rest Of us.
Nowhere is the riding habit easier to
acquire than where an automobile Is at
beck and call Even the workers who
deem the trolley car necessity would
often be advantaged by keeping their
nickels in their own pockets and there
by inviting more physical and mental
vigor. We are all sinners when it comes
to the failure to keep In touch with the
open.-Spring6eld Republican.

COMMUNITY RETIREMENT.
A Chamber Of Commerce That ls Car.
rying Out Some Practical Ideas.

rying Out Somo practical Ideas.
In Its continuous campaign in the
best interests Of Manitowoc and Its
people the Manitowoc wis chamber
Of commerce has recently been en-
ploying some unusual methods which
are found to bring satisfactory results,
says c. j. Primm, secretary of the
Manitowoc chamber Of commerce, in
the Town Development Magazine.
One OF these was the use Of leaf
let addressed ITO Every Housekeeper,
Manitowoc, Wis., A leaflet was hand
ed to each housekeeper i'll the city by
a high school student, the students or
ganizing for the purposes of making
this distribution. Each leafet made
direct appeal to the housewife 70
purchase Manitowoc goods from Man
itowoc dealers and to call NJ II Man
itowoc professional help whtl profess
sional help was needed. Tie house
keeper was asked to write the cham
Der of commerce, setting forth her
views on the matter and giving assur-
ance Of her willingness to aid Mantle
woe In any way possible. The leatlet
also contained pertinent information
regarding the city and what it pro-
duces.
One Of the leading moves in spe-
cial campaign made by Manitowoc to
tie the people Of the county and city
together was through the publishing
and distribution Of mercantile and
professional directory. Participation
in this directory in the way Of advcr-
Using was voluntary and cooperative,
the entire cost being divided pro rata
after the book was issued. This d.
rectory was given wide circulation in
city and county.
Another work recently carried
through successfully was the county
road superintendcnts convention, held
at Manitowoc. OF the 800 or more
road superintcndents i'll the county
over 200 attended the convention. The
meeting proved real impetus for the
good road movement i'll the county,
and it was decided to make it IN an
nual affair The subjects discussed
were practical ones, having to do With
road improvement in the county, and
those participating in the discussions
were the men who have this work In
hand all the year through.
Continuing its community better
ment campaign, the Manitowoc cham
Der OF commerce Is now working to
provide n large available supply Of
low priced electric power for manufac-
turcrs, Is leading in fight against
proposed excessive freight rate i'll
crcascs, is sponsoring new home build
Ing operations to supply up to date
homes at low cost to- hundreds Of
workingmens families and is discuss
ing and proposing legislation affecting
the interests Of the community.
