THE RED CROSS NEEDS YOU
lOlN NOW.

The American Red Cross Is a volun-
tary organization, incorpated by act OF
congress, and connected with the gov
ernment only in so far that all its re-
ceipts and disbursements are annually
audited by the War Department One
of its principal purposes, in fact, the
one which brought it into being and
gave it its distinct flag, Is "to aid the
sick and wounded In time of war"
la order to do this effectively a large
individual membership is a fundament-
al necessity.
But increase in membership should
not wait until the sick and wounded
begin TO arrive. In this, as in other
matters, preparedness Is of the utmost
Importance. The Red Cross is pre-
pared to meet conditions up to the
limit of its finances, and meet them
most efficiently. But your indlyidval
help will encourage and strengthen
and enlarge its field of operation. We
are now in war, and that means that
every citizen must give service to his
country, The physically able march
away to do military duty; to properly
support and aid them is the duty de-
volving upon those remaining at home.
And in what more satisfactory and bet
ter way can you do this than by be-
coming a member OF the Red Cross,
which 50 Gttingly combines patriotism
and humanity.
Manitowoc county has proud re-
cord for patriotism in time Of war. In
the Civil war it sent forth entire COM
panies, and hundreds OF men In other
companies; 1t was splendidly represent
ed in the Spanish American war, and
on the Mexican border. In the last
two named relief was not necessary,
during the Civil war, when our sol.
diers returned home, they found will.
ing hands to bind their wounds and
minister to their comfort. Let us emr-
late and equal our fathers and mothers
in the work they did in those trying
days. We can do that in no better way
than by bringing the membership Of
the Red Cross in this county up into
the thousands.
The membership dues are but sl.00
per year. AS soon as the undersigned
receives additional supplies from head
quarters, arrangements will be made
for convenient payment in all parts Of
OF the county. Uutll then dues can be-
sent TO the East Wisconsin Trustee
company.

promise to attend to it. Alderman
Schuetze then had resolution passed
calling for statute to assess coal docks
on the amount of coal handled during
the year as grain elevators are now as
sessed. There was considerable talk
about heecing the city of personal
property taxes by the vacant condition
of coal docks on May first.
There was a petition in by five
churches urging the council not to
grant licenses in June TO the five
places where saloons are located about
which the chief of police recently CON-
planned.
Mc'Keough complained of the fact
that the city was carrying no insur.
ance in the new utility plant and some
insurance was authorized.
Schenian objected to rushing COM
mittee business through without COM
mittee meetings and he also urged a
larger bond for the city treasurer.
The bond is $4,000 and the amount
handled about $500, 900.
The proposition of the Traction Com
pany TO pay 5O% OF the charge against
it for paving parts of North Sth and
South 18th streets was accepted. The
owners of abutting premises with two
exceptions had signed an agreement
to take the half. The ground for the
settlement was not any defect In pro-
ceedings but doubt as to the city IS
power to require the company to pay
for paving. The property owners be.
ing willing to take one-half the city
did not feel justified in fighting a
doubtful case.
The improvement of Fourth and
Lake streets between State and Chica.
go streets is still causing trouble. The
contract was let last fall and the con-
tractor is at work. There is some sen.
timent for changing the carriageway
from "a feet to 80 feet and lessening
the drop from the middle OF the block
southwark by raising the grade at Lake
and Chicago streets four feet. Engi
neer Alter further wanted TO protect
the street by lengthening the sea wall
225 feet and thus preserve the private
driveway used by the city along the
beach in reaching the city dump.
There we're so many complications that
the matter went over and will be con-
sidered by the street committee. The
ordinance to change the grade was in
troduced and lies over until an assess
ment has been made.
A new departure was the appoint
ment OF an alderman to both the street
and poor committee. These two com
mittees OF seven each have always
comprised the whole council. Sladky
was given thS distinction.

BIG PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION.

Thousands turned out Tuesday night
TO swell the great patriotic demonstra-
tion. A procession marched about the
streets. The two largest halls, the
Opera House and the Orpheum were
crowded "to the guards" Patriotic
speeches by Guy D. Goff and Frank
Swetlik of Milwaukee and DR.. Trever
of Lawrence College, Appleton were
vociferously received.
The parade began shortly after seven
O'Clock. In line were the Marin 9
band Co. H., w. N. g., City officials
and employees, post Office employees,
shtpyard and factory employees, Elks
lodge, K. of G.. council with their
members detecting the spirit of '76.
G. A. r. in automobiles, Drum corps,
Boy scouts, High school organizations
Grade pupils, Two Rivers band. AL
most the entire population lined the
route Of the parade through the down
town streets.
Thomas Higgins presided at the Or
pheum where Mr.. SwieJlik and Mr..
Golf spoke. FL. G. kress presided at
the Orpheum where these two and DR..
Trever spoke.
The speech 70 were polished orations,
appropriate and eloquent. Mr.. Swiet'
lik for a young man performed grand
ly. Mr.. Goff's talk was masterpiece.
He brought the audience up straight
when he said, ''There will be no Peace,
or Liberty or Justice in the world un-
til all the Romanotfs, Hapsburgs and
Hohenzollerns are earning their bread
by the sweat of their brows."
The following resolutions were
adopted:
RESOLUTIONS AND STATEMENT
OF PRINCIPLES
l. That we publicly affirm full and
complete loyalty TO our beloved
country.
2. That we pledge our support to
the president of the United States, the
constitutional leader of the nation.
3. That we assert our belief in the
patriotism of the individual citizen, OF
whatever birth or former nationality.
4. That we believe that a spirit of
patriotism, not surpassed in fervor or
intensity, at any time. in our national
history, lives in the hearts of the en-
tire American people, which only
awaits the call of the nations leader.
5. That rs American citizens resi-.
dent in Manitowoc, we delare our
readiness to make any sacrifice in de-
fense of those principles of individual
liberty and freedom on land and sea,
for which this nation has fought
three wars, aud which constitute the
sacred badge of American citizenship.
The demonstration was huge sue
cess. If there was any lingering doubt
as to Manitowoc's whole hearted loyal
ty to our government regardless of
who the enemy might be that doubt
vanished. That many with sentiment.
al regard for the Fatherland would de-
plore the necessity for the present
state Of things was inevitable. That
any conside rable number will be dis
loyal in even in thought to their adopt.
ed country is unthinkable. They are
not that kind.

native of this city, having been born
here in 1856. Like his brothers, he
drifted into dentistry and soon develop
ed remarkable aptitude for the work,
After several years OF successful prac-
tice in Kewaunee, he sought wider
field in this city. Ever keeping
abreast of the rapid progress in his
profe ssion supplemented by tireless
industry, he soon forged to the front
and enjoyed an increasing practice.
At the same time he was able to invent
several valuable improvements in den
tistry.
But the work was gradually under

able to resist serious attack of illness.
He was married to Minnie Bleser,
daughter of one OF our old citizens,

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The past winter has been rather
severe one for many children to attend
school. Much irregular attendance
can be overlooked when weather con-
ditions interfere, or when sickness is
prevalent. In general l wish to state
that the great majority OF parents are
very anxious to Inconvenience them
selves great deal in order that their
children attend school regularly and
receive the best Of education. There
are large number of children who
have not missed day at school for
several years and many others who
have almost perfect attendance.
But on the other hand there are also
remaining large number of the other
kind Of parents who are very indiffer-
ent about sending their children to
school. Too many of such still remain
and need to have the law enforced
against them. 1t Is unfortunate that
they will not do for their children that
which they certainly must know, or
ought to know is best for them.
During the past year over two hun
dred notices have been sent out by the
perintendent to parents who have
not complied with the law. In addi-
tion to this twenty-five were notified
by the sheriff. During the past eight
years about twelve hundred notices
were sent out by the superintendent
to parents who have not complied
with the law and about two hundred
sheritf's notices. While the number
OF parents who have not complied with
the law have decreased very much dur
ing the time the attendance law has
been in effect there is still too much
violation. There are several factors
besides neglect which make toward
irregular attendance which might be
overcome if the people only take hold
of matters to their own interests and
stand up for their rights.
However when we compare the at
tendance in Manitowoc county with
the attendance in other counties we
ought to feel gratified at the results we
nave attained, and which were brough,
about by the rigid enforcement Of the
compulsory attendance law. 1t is the
duty Of all parents, and teachers tc
cooperate with the superintendent and
truant officer (the Sheriff. in this re-
respect. The law makes this a duty Of
all, and not only the superintendent.
There are few places in the county
where the school house conditions, in
cluding the desks and inside conditions
are in such condition that 1t is nc
| pleasure for child to he at school
| While this Is no excuse, it is an intel
ligent father or mother who looks out
and first considers the welfare Of theil
children.
