Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-

for her own food problem If she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
deAse populations, which are the trQu-

England, France. the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-

Spain, and the northern neutral coun-

have been able to draw to some degree

Bohemia. Serbia, Roumnnla and

Italy. Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-

In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export

the very least minimum of 10000, 900
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11.82O,OOO tons ex-

by the ties of war to the European

If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or II we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts of

ticw hich the teacher wishes to teach
If she has properly assigned the les
son keeping her aim in view the pupils
will be able to work the problem at
the seats. If for some reason some do
not get these, send the rest of the class
to the board and give them more
problems for drill while these having
difficulty are given individual help.
The class period is a time for drills,
teaching and assignments. Most Of
the teaching can be done in the as
signments. The amount of work ac-
complished in a recitation, the spirit
and pep, the judgment used in selec-
ton of subject matter are the indlca-
tons of a good teacher

PARTICULAR BURGLER

A burglar pried open a rear door of
the Zimmerman store on South Eighth
street last Friday night and after try
ing on, and discarding, a suit from the
show window, he selected a blue serge
suit that was evidently a better fit. He
then picked out grip that suited his
fancy and filled it with haberdashery.
The police are looking for a man
wearing a new serge suit and carrying
a new grip. They might wait at the
store till he comes to have alterations
made in the suit.

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The past week has been an active
period in the Fourth Liberty Loan
work. Tuesday, the Sth, was volun-
teer days in the rural school districts
The total was only little better thar
80 per cent of the total allotment and
at a big meeting Sunday committees
were organized into flying squads tc
visit those who did not subscribe 10O
per cent and find out why and if pos
sible to get the balance. Some dis
tricts went over the top but othere
were but little over 25 per cent.
Saturday and Sunday were volun-
teer days in the cities. People went to
the polling places and subscribed.
over half million dollars was sub
scribed by volunteers in Manitowoc,
which is less than the quota of the
city but pretty good. The blockmen
will follow up and see all who did not
appear.
The meeting Sunday issued the fol-
lowing appeal:
THE committee in charge of the
Liberty loan campaign for this county,
made up of volunteers, serving with
out pay, have called on the under
signed for advice and assistance.
"They have reported to us their
method, that of the amount to be sub
scribed by the county, Sc per cent is
to be taken by investors in the two
cities of Manitowoc and Two Rivers
and only A per cent by those in the
towns and villages, proportion which
appears eminently fair.
This amount was then distributed
among the several school districts in
proportion to assessed valuation. The
same just method was used in refer
ence to individual allotments. We have
no hesitation in endorsing their meth
cd and manner of campaign.
mo more argument is needed as to
the safety, profit and necessity of in
vesting in Liberty bonds, for full and
detailed information has been spread
throughout the county.
There are still some who have not
yet subscribed. There will be time un-
til Saturday to subscribe and we ap-
peal to those of our fellow citizens
who have not yet done so, to subscribe
at the earliest date.
This is not a donation, but loan
on the best security in the world. 1t is
necessary because, to raise this money
by taxation would be a burden too
hard to bear, especially by the owners
of real estate.
And finally, in these days of strain
and stress, we must stand united in all
things Won't you join our ranks and
make it unanimous and add bright
page in the story of Manitowoc coun-
tvs patriotism?"
There was a mass meeting in the in
terest of the loan and to celebrate the
volunteer subscriptions in front of the
court house Saturday evening. The
speakers we're Rev. Carl Machmiller
and E. G. Nash, who delivered stirring
patriotic addresses.

CLOSING TIGHTER

The week during which churches,
theaters, dance halls, lodges and
schools must remain closed expired
Tuesday evening, but Monday the City
Board of Health extended it for a
week. In doing so they also ordered
all saloons, billiard halls, candy stores
and other non-essential places to close
at 6 p. IN. for the week. Health Officer
Meany said Monday that there were
then about 800 cases of Spanish influ
enza in the city. 1t had not been on
the increase then for several days.
With gasless Sunday and no amuse-
ments this is surely a dull old town.

Have you a war map in your school
room? Does your school board pro-
vide your school with a daily paper?
Every school should be provided with
each. Ask the members of your board
for the paper and if you cannot get a
map in any other way, draw one or put
it to your 7th and Sth grade pupils as
geography lesson They will be
more than glad to provide the school
with maps so that each campaign may
be followed. Work at least on one of
the western fronts.
