GOLDEN WEDDING.

Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Kelley, 843 N.
Seventh street celebrated their golden
wedding last Saturday. There was a
family reunion and also open house for
| friends and relatives.
Patrick Kelley and Julia Lantry
were children on neighboring farms
outside the village of Coachford in the
County Cork about 10 or II miles from
the metropolis OF Southern Ireland
Their families migrated 10 America
in the 40's. The Lantry's came tc
Manitowoc County after few years at
Milwaukee and settled on farm in the
town of Manitowoc Rapids. The Kel'
| leys came to Manitowoc from the east
in 1856 and the two former playmates
soon met and renewed the friendship
of their childhood in Ireland. They
we're married in St. Boniface church
April 81, 1867. Their living children
are John G. and Timothy L. OF Wau.
kesha, Mary Smith and Margaret oi
Milwaukee, Julia of this city and Pat
rick j. of Mansfield, Ohio. There are
| l3 grandchildren. The children and
nearly all the grandchildren were
at the old home Saturday. The house
was bower of flowers and there were
friends coming and going all day.
Mrs. Kelley has been an ideal Chris
tian mother. The affection formerly
poured out to her own children she
now lavishes upon the rising genera
tion. Mr. Kelley has been successful
masonry contractor for over forty
years. He taught school in the county
when but boy and has been student
and reader all his life particularly oi
the literature and history of the land
of his birth. The almost forgotten
spoken Gaelic of his buyhood made the
requirement of reading knowledge oi
the ancient tongue easy when he es
sayed the task of re-learning it some
years ago and he reads and translates
the Gaelic easily. The Boston Pilot
under O'Reilly and later under Roche
was his favorite journal.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelley have beer
staunch and devout adherents of the
Faith of their fathers all their lives.
They have earned the reverence and
material appreciation which theil
progeny evidence and the respect
the community shows.

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FORTY-FOUR YEARS AGO.

| MAY DAY VS.. HOUSE CLEANING
The usual wall Of the city press goes up
to the heavens on the agonies of MAY
Day Moving" The Chicago and Mil
waukee press vie with each other in
their lamentations. The Milwaukee
News treats it POLITICALLY and other
wise" and then asks If any one word
can express in compact form, more
than is soul-tearing and vexatiously
vexatious to the average American
mind, than the disagreeable moving,
they would respectfully listen. We
think we can discount it with the word,
cleaning. Having been told that all
house. keepers should be allowed fifteen
or twenty days for spring cleaning and
that old widowers who are so fortunate
as 10 have sisters rule over them,
should allow thirty days. We accept
ed the decree of course as final, and
munched over cold dinners in silence,
feeling that we could stand what the
heads Of families could and live.
This new and uncertain bill OF fare
was inaugurated about the middle of
April, and, what then constituted a
respectable cold dinner, has since
gradually simmered down to dried
herring and one soda cracker. We
might have complained and success
fully resisted in the beginning but
alas, we are too weak and emaciated
now. When we ask the kitchen mech
anic for an oatmeal pudding, she pert.
ly answers that she only obeys the or
ders of the Missus, and, that her orders
were, that we get our herring and
crackers and dine at the Office when
ever we become the least bit particu-
lar. We ventured to ask how long
this era Of scrubbing- brushes and rufll-
ed tempers was likely to last in this,
the smallest house in this city, and
were informed that, in all probability,
it would end with the beginning OF
the croquet season, when dinners will
again be served, except those fore
moons spent in chasing red spiders of
the house plants, but teas would be
unknown (reason-busy at croquet,)
late breakfasts, however, would be a
feast to the hungry.
In our meditations we view with
scorn the trials of the garulous who
write columns OF horrors on May day
Fortunate creatures, who have but
one day in 365 to berate and complain
of, they cannot sympathize in our past
present, or future promise. That we
may learn croquet and play it so hor
ridly as to deter others from attempt
ing the attainment, and that red spi
ders should disappear from the face o.
the earth, and house-clesning should
become lost art, is our only remain
ing hope for the peace and prosperity
OF all we'll regulated families. "Oul
Sister, 'tis of thee sing" in prose, al
we amt much on sonnet.

COUNTY BOARD MEMBERS
IN new MOVE.

A bill introduced in the state senate
by Senator Burke OF Green Bay on
March Both shows that county board
members either in this county or in
some other county where there has
been a large amount of bridge work
done have been on the lookout to pro-
tect themselves. This bill provides
that bridge commissioners shall be
paid $500 day and six cents a mile
for the miles travelled In inspecting
county bridges and it further provides
as follows:
"AU payments heretofore made By any
county for services so rendered under
section 1919 for ,oorkactuaIly performed
and mileage actually Travelled, by COM
n,iSsioners duly appointed nnder his sect
ion, is hereoy vaLidated."
1t will be observed that no time linn
it has been put on the amount OF in-
spection that may be made under this
bill and it will further be noticed that
IHo ulli uoes not proFiuo lhds PohOins
litigation shall not be affected by its
provision. There are now ten judg-
ments on record against members and
ex-members of the county board of
this county for payments which in most
cases would be affected by the provis-
ion Of this bill quoted above, The
bill, If passed, would of course wipe
out all the county's claims for excess
payments for bridge work against the
board members who have not yet been
sued. 1t has not yet been reported by
the committee to which it was sent
and vigorous steps have been taken
to inform members of this committee
and members OF the Senate and the
Assembly of the move tnat is being
made and of its effect upon claims of
this county by reason of the conditions
above referred to.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.
County Clerk Senglaub visited in
Kiel on Sunday last.

The amount of money on deposit by
the farmers of this county in the de.
funct bank is a source OF surprise TO
every one, in view of the fact that
complaints of hard times were so fire.
Quent. Added to this, the fact that
other panic stricken farmers rushed to
the city and withdrew their deposits
from other banks thus showing heavy
deposits elsewhere than in the broken
bank, leads to the conclusion that
large share of the ready money in this
county is in the hands of farmers not
withstanding their protestations OF
poverty.
The banks rather enjoyed the run
made upon them, as their deposits
wero heavier than they cared to have.
For this reason they cashed time GER
tificates just as readily as they did de-
mand certificates, proceeding which
should convince anyone that there was
not particle of danger. A singular
feature OF the affair was that people
having deposits would draw them from
one bank and deposit them in the 9th.
er, and thus the old balance was but
little disturbed. One bank for in
stance, after a weeks drawing by de.
positors had just the same amount on
deposit on Saturday night IL had on
Monday morning less S475. But it
saved considerable interest by the
change az no doubt did the other.
The people were not to blame as they
were simply panic stricken. Some of
them would be fully satisfied to return
the money Immediately after it was
drawn, as seeing and feeling 1t salts
fed them of its safety. There were
amusing features connected with the
affair. Some thought the certificates
on the broken bank might be cashed
by the others and brought the wrong
certificates. A clergyman with a
large satcnel entered the building OF
the broken bank and insisted upon
being treated ~ . preferred creditor
because OF his sacred calling.

The following items are taken from
Wisconsin Horticulture:
The United States is at war and
needs your help. The country is strip
ped bare OF all surplus cereals and
meats. The winter wheat crop foi
1917 has been estimated by experts al
fifty million bushels less than that oi
1916, which in turn was below that oi
1915.
The farmers of the nation already at
their wits end to secure help to cul-
tivate their present acreage, will be
futher handicapped by the raising oi
an army of half million men, possibly
two millions, recruited largely from
the farms and shops.
The food shortage is serious and will
be more serious still before next fall.
The United States Government can
raise and equip an army and supply
ammunition without end, but OF what
avail is an army without food. OF
what account all the billions OF money
