WANTS TO ADOPT SISTER

There was up at Racine in county
court Tuesday a rather unusual pro-
ceeding
John Ryan, aged about 60, a resi-
dent of Manitowoc all his life, has a
son George, an employe of a bank at
Racine. With the father here were a
younger son, and two daughters. The
elder of the girls, Loretta, recently
went to Racine to visit her brother and
the brother began proceeding in
court there to adopt the sister. Lor-
eta is said to favor the adoption and
Mr.. Ryan went to Racine Tuesday to
oppose the application. Ryan is well
known in the city and the news of the
proceeding excited considerable inter
est Mrs. Ryan died year or two ago
shortly after having been granted "A
decree of divorce.
When the matter was called in court
Tuesday, George Ryan's lawyers with
drew their petition and the matter was
closed. The two sisters had never been
separated and when they all got to-
gether the matter was amicably adj

GROUhDLESS MARINE ALARM

Saturday a farmer came to town
from Centervlle and reported that he
had rowed out to a ship in distress in
Lake Michigan and that the captain
had urgently requested him to go to
Manitowoc for aid. The farmer left
again and it could not be learned what
kind or size of boat it was nor what
the trouble was.
Rumors were about that a large
steamer was in trouble. Folks who
went in automobiles on the lake shore
road reported nothing in sight The
supposition was that ship had foun-
dered. Upon learning by phone of the
report the Two Rivers coast guard set
out in their motor boat and picked up
the little yacht "Anita" about eight
miles south of the city. She was re-
turning from Milwaukee to Marinette,
with the owner, Jess Williams, and his
wife on board. Their engine had
ceased to function and they were look
ing for a tow line. They were at an
chor and in no danger except in the
event of blow coming up. The yacht
was taken into Two Rivers for engine
repairs.

AN APPEAL FOR AID

Mr.. Renhardt Rahr Is in receipt OF
a letter from Mrs. Rahr, who is now
in Germany. She writes that the want
and suffering over there is pitiable, the
need for clothing being particularly
urgent Mr. Rahr stated yesterday
that on behalf of these sufferers he
makes an appeal to the people of Man
itowoc to donate such clothing as they
can spare to be sent to these people
who are facing winter without suili-
cient covering to keep warm. He ask S
for clothing, shoes, stockings, under
wcar-anything that is half way
decent. 1t may be second hand, used
things and will be gratefully accepted
and will he called for if Mr. Rahr is
notified. He plans to sail for Europe
November 8, and responses should be
made as soon as possible.
1t is to be hoped that no one, no
matter what his national ancestry, who
can assist in this noble work, will ne
glect this opportunity to aid suffering
Mrs Rahr relates several small Incl.
dents such as custom officers refusing
a tip but begging for bit of sausage
she had, which give a slight indication
of the straits of the impoverished peo-
pie,

The Division OF Markets has pointed
out In letters on the investigation OF
the high cost OF living that rural
depopulation, the shortage OF
agricultural labor and the development
OF tenancy are the result OF the
inaccessiblity to the land.
Farming on the basis OF independent
ownership is beyond the reach OF the
man with small means because OF
the high prices OF land which prevail
in the settlement Of the cutover land.
The capital necessary to by an eighty
acre farm in the settled parts OF Wis.
consu where land prices range from
$50 to $3.50 An acre Is from $4,000 TO
$4,000 In certain counties where
land is somewhat cheaper than In the
well settled southern part OF the state
the capital needed is between l20O0 and
5000 dollars for an eighty acre farm
including equipment. In both cases
the man who lacks the necessary cap
ital will have to spend years at hard
work burdened with a mortgage.
Cutover land does not require that
amount Of capital. But figuring
the price OF the land, the cost OF equip
ment and the expense end labor In
volved in the clearing OF the land, the
effort to build up an eighty acre farm
in northern Wisconsin equals the effort
to pay off farm in the settled part OF
the state
The average man does not object to
hard work, but he wants TO be able
to enjoy life at the same time. Under
the present conditions land settlement
for the man without capital means
only hard work, hardship and worry.
Added to this is the prospect OF finan.
cal losses. In the possible event OF q
decrease in prices the man who borrows
money to buy the equipment for his
farm and is being charged the present
prices may lose the difference between
the nominal amount of his debt and
the prices as they will be ut the time
he will settle his debt

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

The council met In regular session
Monday evening at the old council
rooms, the new place not being ready.
County Judge Chloupek appeared
and asked that Manitowoc cooperate
with Two Rivers in the appointment
and maintenance of woman parol
agent to look after boys and girls who
are on probation. He said that the
effect would be better than having the
police do it as they now do. The
mayor appointed Thompson, Wergin
and Kazda as committee to confer
with the Two Rivers board in the mat
ter.
City Engineer Alter and Alderman
Revolnski, who lately returned from
the meeting at the state League of
Municipalities brought up the matter
of coming the city so as to exclude in
dustral plants from residence sections
and otherwise control locations. 1t
may come up later
The plans of F. Cushing Smith for
the improvement of Lincoln park were
adopted but his contract was held up
until the attorney irons out some al
legged antiquities in it.
There was a bill in for $1,000 for
electrical fixtures at the new city hall
and Holly questioned its legality under
the provision requiring work over $500
in cost 10 be let on bids, but the bill
was allowed.
The old electric plant building on
Quay street may be remodeled into a
garage to house the city's numerous
Fords.
The mayor got in bad by remarking
that seeyral blocks of water mains
have been laid without consumer. On
request named the blocks. The two
Seventh warders Indignantly disputed
his information and said that each
block had at least three consumers and
that the mains were put in for fire pro-
lection anyway, on Chief Kratz's rec
ommendation; so there!
The big business of the evening was
the adoption of the annual budget, al
most without discussion. The levy for
city purposes is S2s7,000 which in
cludes about $4,000 to lessen the de
ficit which was $ls7,O00 last year. The
rate for general city purposes will be
Sl2.24 per $1,000, the same as last
year. To this will be added the school,
county and state taxes. The total rate
may not be much higher than last year
when it was $26.50 per $1,000. The
soldiers bonus last year made the rate
high. The estimates are liberal with
all departments. 1t was necessary to
make raises all along the line to keep
the departments in existence.
The school budget as approved calls
for S244,837.lS of which the city will
raise Sl93,O2754. The assessed valua-
ton upon which the rate is computed
is S773,OO0 greater than a year ago.
The meeting lasted until nearly mid
night, but little business of Importance
was transacted.

FARM BARN BURNED

The barn of Anton Chrapikowski, at
the old toll gate place just outside the
city on the Plank road, burned to the
ground last Friday morning, shortly
before noon. Mr.. Chrapkowski, last
spring, sold the farm but retained the
house, about two acres and his barn.
The past summer he spent much effort
and several hundreds of dollars remod-
cling the barn. In it were three bug
gies, lot of grain and ground feed,
four sets of harnesses, fifty years ac-
cumulation of fine tools and other
things. 1t was all total loss. A wind
blowing in the right direction saved
the residence. A horse and COW were
fortunately in the pasture.
The loss is about $4,000, covered by
insurance of a minor fraction of that
sum.
The origin Of the fire is mystery.
1t was beyond control before it was
noticed.

FATAL NIGHT RIDE

An Oakland car containing, besides
the chauffeur, three couples hit cul-
vert about a mile and half south of
Browns Cosners on the Green Bay
road about foM O'Clock Saturday
morning.
The result was:
Charles Brand, 2s, Sheboygan, in
stantly killed of fractured skull.
Madge Miller, Milwaukee, cut and
bruised.
Otto Kohls, SO, Sheboygan, badly
bruised.
Harold WolgenSogen, 35, Sheboy-
gan, severly bruised.
The other three, William Sands, Jr.,
and his wife of Sheboygan and Mrs.
Casper, Milwaukee, had only minor in
juries.
The party left Sheboygan in kohrs
car with Brand driving Friday evening
and came as far as Silver Lake They
left there about four A. NJ. for She
boygan. Some of the party admitted
that the car was gonig pretty fast
when they came to the curve and cul-
vert at the Mass place. The side of
the car struck the concrete and the
whole side was torn off. The driver
was evidently thrown head first against
the concrete side. The body rolled off
into the ditch. When his companions
reached him he was dead. The road
was wet but showed no signs of the car
having skidded into the culyert pro-
lection side. The road is wide and
there appears to be no good reason
for the accident.
There was some suggestion that all
the names given were not genuine and
the affair had the appearance of a not
entirely dry joy ride.
Brand was taxi driver before the
war and served overseas in the army.
He was once reported killed in action.
District Attorney Brady did not
deem an inquest to be necessary as the
cause and manner of Brands death
were apparent.

DEMOCRATIC SPEECHES

Karl Mathe of Wausau years ago
prominent educator of the state
gave two talks in the city last Thurs
day, the first at the Opera House in
the afternoon on the League of Ma
tions and the second at Woods Hall in
the evening namely on the Non-Par-
tisian League, at both meetings he
spoke in favor of the election of Col.
Mccoy as Governor.
At the afternoon meeting l.. j. Nash
presided and gave a short address as
did Mrs. Jessica EggerS of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee. John
Healy explained the method of voting
for the benefit of the large number of
women present.
Mr.. Mathie gave fine talks at both
meetings in the clear, exact, lecture
room fashion, without fireworks or
exaggeration, He is representing Col
Mccoy and made a fine appeal for his
election.
George r. Lund, serving his third
term as mayor of Schenectady, New
York, and former congressman, gave
a Democratic political speech at the
Orpheum Saturday eneying after the
close of the usual picture show.
Those who remembered an outline
of his spectacular career in his home
town where he was first elected as a
Socialist, probably expected quite
different type of man. He was a clean
cut, business like fellow with a nice
quick flow of thought nicely expressed
He was easy to listen to, a delightful
p, eaker He confined himself to the
League of Nations and his clear, per
sausive presentation of the issue
should have been heard by every voter
in the city. He shattered conclusiyely
all the usual objections manufactured
for political purposes and made a bril-
liant plea for the election of Governor
Cox.
Through some misunderstanding the
speech was not announced and most OF
the movie crowd did not stay but those
who did were amply repaid,
