school districts, villages, and cities in
the county in the nation wide move
ment to raise So, 600, 0Oo,O by selling
War Saving Stamps and of training
children in the ways of thrift and con-
servation.
The plan contemplates the selling to
children and other persons thrift
stamps in denomination of 25 cents
each. After the person has purchased
a certain number of rs cents stamps
he converts them into a larger war
savings stamp at a cost of S4l2 for
each large stamp and cent additional
each month after January, 1918. After
he has accumulated number of these
So stamps he Is given hundred dollar
bond. He receives the hundred dollar
bond when he has about SS4 worth
of stamps. The hundred dollar bond
is to be paid in 1923. 1t is case of
bank discount.
The plan for Manitowoo county is to
carry out the campaign according to
directions which will be sent to each
teacher. Only the date will be changed
to January instead of December.
There will be furnished you litera-
ture prepared by the United States
Government consisting Of a four page
folder containing an appeal and in
structions for carrying on the cam
paign and another four page folder
containing a message from Secrtsry
McAdoo for distribution to the chill
dren, and large posters TO be hung in
the entries, lobbies of schools, and
class rooms. This literature will give
full explanations.
C. p. Cary, State Superintendent of
Schools, strongly urges that all super
intendents, principals, and teachers
of the state to cooperate actively in
this movement.
The county superintendent of schools
likewise urges you to cooperate in
this campaign. Try TO get every pupil
in your school and every person in
your district to buy war savings
stamp or thrift stamp. Be sure that
the literature you receive reaches each
family in the district.

THE FUEL ORDER.

The Ukase of the National Fuel ad.
ministration in ordering the closing
of most industries for five days did
not hurt Manitowoc as hard as many
other cities because one OF Manito-
woes two biggest industries, the ship
yard and allied plants employing 1920
high priced men, was exempt from the
operation OF the order. The Monday
order for all concerns was strictly OBJ
served in Manitowoc. The stores
were all shut except meatmarkets and
groceries which closed at noon. All
places of amusement closed Tuesday
instead Of Monday. Monday there
was not saloon open although general
opinion was that there would be no
violation II fuel were not consumed.
The highest outdoor temperature
Monday was about % degrees and un-
heated interiors soon sunk to near the
same level. Doctors and dentist s
Offices were heated and other tenants
in the same buildings with their own
steam shut off ran In once in a while
to thaw out. Most unheated offices
closed early. For once the saloon lid
was on tight all day. Registration
day last May was the first time the
oldest inhabitant could remember
when the saloons closed but that was
only until the registry boards ad.
journed at s O'Clock. Monday it was
bone dry from midnight to midnight
and then until $50 q. m. Tuesday.

BOYS GET MONEY ORDERS.

Seven youngsters of the city were in
custody this week for attempting to
cash express money orders at the
banks. They all asserted that the
orders had been picked up along the
railway tracks near the depot. There
were suspicious that1a mail sack had
been rihed and two OF the boys ad-
m,tted after a grilling that they had
taken the orders from car on side.

Tricks OF Worms.

Mimlcry In animals, "hitherto an un-

North American Review by Hudson
Maxim. When a bird is about to at
tack worm he looks at the worm,
trying TO ascertain whether the worm
Is food worm or a puff-addcr. The
mental process of the bird is trans
ferred to the nervous system of the
worm, who. now aware of the fact that
the bird would hesitate to attack him
IL he were a pulf-adder, proceeds to
initiate the puff-adder.

A nervous young man, whose sight
is somewhat defective, had his equani-
nifty considerably disturbed while
coming down town the other morning.
AS he was walking briskly along
towards his place of business he saw
approaching what he took to be mad
dog, frothing fearfully at its mouth.
His hair immediatly felt as though a
big "Injun" had hold of it; and as If
by intuition, be assumed an elevated
position on neighboring fence. The
dog unconscious OF the emotions he
was causing in the young mans breast
trotted sedately along, and as 1t passed
the weak-eyed gentleman, looked up
astopished, gave its tail friendly
wag and passed on. When the young
man saw that what he had taken to
be froth was only little frost that had
gathered on the long hairs about the
dogs mouth he gave hurried look
around to see if there was anybody
near, to witness his agitation, and
tuen dexterously resumed the side
walk.

Justice Lamar Of the supreme court
died at Macon, Ga. on Monday night.
He had been i'll for some time but had
not reached the age when he might
retire from the bench on a pension,
and was too poor to resign. Lamar
was not celebrated as lawyer when
he was appointed on the supreme
bench, but as member OF congress,
U. S. senator, and cabinet officer he
evfnced a judicial temperament which
foreshadowed his qualities as jurist.
Lamar was a scholarly man, with q
sense Of justice strongly implanted In
his nature. IL was generally supposed
he was TOO much Of a student TO he a
man OF action, but when the occasion
came he always showed that this opin-
ion OF him was erroneous. His address
on the death OF Charles Sumner
electrified the country by its breadth OF
view. II was the first great wrench
sectional prejudice received after the
close OF the war, and was the dawn
OF reconciliation.
Lamar always broke away from
petty things, and when the dreamer
became man OF action he was an In
spired leader.
