Jerry Muskrat had about decided
that Farmer Browns Boy wasn't COM
ing back when he heard footsteps,
and moment later Farmer Browns
Boy apeared coming down the
Laughing Brook toward the Smiling
Pool. Jerry remained hidden where
he could not be seen, but where he
himself could use all that went on
around the Smiling Pool.
In one hand Farmer Browns Boy
carried Il bunch of things that clanked
as he walked. Jerry knew what they
were. He would know those things
as far as he could see them. They
were steel traps. jerry scowled as he
saw them. The sound of them hitting
together sent little cold shivers over
him. They were dreadful things, even
more dreadful than terrible guns.
Jhere was nothing to fear from the
latter save when. they were in the
hands of hunters, and any one with
his wits about him ought to be able
TO see hunter in time to seek safety.
But these dreadful traps were left
hidden in the very places where a fell
low had the right to feel safest, ready
TO seize him in cruel steel jaws and
mold him to suffer pain and dreadful
fright for hours and hours, sometimes

Ing SO dreadful as those steel traps,
and SO he shivered at sight of them.
Farmer Browns Boy threw the
traps down on the bank of the Smil-
ing Pool. His usually sunny face was
clouded. From his pocket he took a
piece Of paper and a pencil. Then he
sat down and began to write. When
he had finished he went over to Jerry's $
favorite log and thrust a stick in the
bank just above it. The top of the
stick was split and in this he slipped
back, gathered up the traps, slung
them over his shoulder and tramped
off in the direction Of home.
All the rest of that day Jerry kept
an eye on that piece of paper at the
end of his favorite old log. 1t puz-
zled him. He didn't go near it. He
didn't dare to. He was suspicious of

a rose tinting is distinctly visible. The
satin is used for the high-waisted and
slightly y-draped bodice, and also for the
long narrow underskirt, and the top of
the wider overskirt The short sleeves
are of georgette. with a dainty satin
edging for cuffs. The bodice is cut
rather low to permit a glimpse of geor-

of the overskirt. The sheen of the
satin underskirt through this delicate
georgette yelling lends added charm to
the beauty of the gown.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

The case of Krizanowski VS.. the City
of Manitowoc which occupied nearly a
week at the January term took nearly
as long this time at the retrial. 1t be-
gan Wednesday afternoon last week
and went to the jury Tuesday evening
ofthis week. The plaintiff seemed to
be bent on showing that the water that
flooded the Addison house in May,
1918, came up out of the big FIVE foot
sewer known as Sherman creek be-
cause of an alleged negligently main
tanned obstruction at the river outlet
and the city was evidently trying to
show that the food water came to the
hotel premises over the street surfaces.
The court submitted fourteen questions
to the jury, most ofthem double there
being two foods, five days apart, com
planned of.
After being out about an hour the
jury brought in a verdict in favor of
the city.
The court calendar was set for 10
o'clock today

ALUM. GOODS INCREASES CAPITAL

The Aluminium Goods Manufactur-
ing company with its general Offices and
probably largest factory here, has in
creased its capital stock to $4,000, 900.
1t has been the policy of the company
for many years to put a major part of
earnings back into enlargements and
improvements and in consequence the
physical valuations, not to mention
earning capacity, justified and called
for a big increase in capitalization. The
stock will now be SS,000,000 common
stock and Si,00O,000 preferred. The
preferred stock will be per cent cum
ulatiye with a redemption right at l05.
The company is incorporated in New
Jersey where it has factory at New
ark Besides Manitowoc and Newark
there are factories at Two Rivers and
St. Louis, Mo. George Wits, who has
been with the business from its begin
ming has been for years its president.
Joseph Koenig of Two Rivers is vice
president and Richard Findlan, secre-
tary. A. j. Wits and Hugo Wits are
actively connected with the manage
ment The forty stockholders, except
about a half dozen, all reside at Mani
towoc and Two Rivers.

Weather ano Crop Conditions in Wis.

The heavy rains and floods of the
past week killed some live stock and
caused much loss of crops in many
south-central and southeastern coun-
ties. Much replanting will be necessary.
Some damage from wind is reported in
a few localities. Also, there was some
lodging of small grains in several west
central counties. The weather was too
cool for rapid growth, but all crops,
where not damaged by floods, are Wig
orous and look well. Rye and winter
wheat are mostly headed. Rye heads
are short in some sections, caused by
previous drought. Meadows and pas
lures are much improved and haying
has begun. Potatoes are good gener-
ally, but bugs are numerous in many
localities. Peas are much improved

BASE BALL

For eight innings on Sunday Stock
of Waukesha and Stack of Manitowoc
engaged in a twirlers' duel, during
which time both moundSmen hurled
fine ball and allowed only twelve hits
between them. In the ninth inning,
however, on successive hits and a
walk, Waukesha managed to slip over
the winning tally and thereby secure a
firmer grip on the top of the ladder.
The game was of a sensational char
acter, which kept the fans on edge
throughout. Much wrangling inter-
ferred with the playing, The final
score was 3 to 2.
Manitowoc scored first in the fourth
inning, but her lead was short lived
for Waukesha came right back in her
half and eyened the count at ! all. No
more scoring occurred until the eighth
inning, in which session Manitowoc
again claimed the lead, only to drop it
when Dempseys club evened honors by
also scoring a run. In the ninth the
Shipbuilders were set down in rotation
and Waukesha added the scalp of
Manitowoc to her growing string of
victories

MOTOR CAR FACTORY MAY COME

The president Of the Jacquet Motor
Car company was in the city last week
looking into the desirability of Manito-
woe as location for an automobile
and truck factory. The company is
operating a factory at Belden, Mich,
but is desirous of locating on this side
of the lake. The company's business
now consists in assembling parts which
are nearly all purchased They desire
to locate near Milwaukee, as the motor
and most of the parts are manufac-
tured there, but do not want to locate
in that city.
The plant if it comes will for some
time be an assembling plant but will
later develop into manufacturing
concern. The car being turned out is a
high grade, $4,000 car. Mr.. Jackson,
the president, is a pioneer in the auto
mobile industry He hopes to interest
local capital up to about $4,000. He
is deeply impressed with Manitowoc as
a site, because of transportation facili-
ties, the aluminium industry and other
advantages.
Oshkosh and other cities are trying
to land this plant
Yesterday Mr.. Jackson passed
through the city on his way to Mchi-
gan and while here said that his fac
tory will be located at Manitowoc and
that work will begin Immediately,
