FLU HERE AGAIN

At a special meeting of the city
council Monday evening, Health Officer
Meany asserted that there is flu cpl
demic inthe city. He urged that imme-
diate action be taken to fight it. After
some discussion fund of 81 900 was
appropriated. The health officer de-
INJURED at disbursing the fund and it
was put in charge of the councils com
mittee on sanitation. DR.. Meany said
that from last Wednesday to Monday
evening fifty cases OF flu had been re
ported in the city and four pneumonia
cases; that the number each day was
increasing and that systematic efforts
to combat it should not be delayed.
1t is probable that the flu is not in
as virulent form of the epidemic that
wrought havoc in the fall of 1918.
The mayor called massmeeting for
Wednesday evening, at the council
chamber, for the purpose of discussing
means of fighting the disease.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

The case of Beck VS.. Siemers, where
in young woman sought $4,000 dam
ages for injuries which occurred from
gasoline engine in her employers
basement was not ended until Satur-
day morning. The jury returned a spe-
cial verdict wherein, although they find
that the farmer defendant was guilty
of negligence they also find that Miss
Beck was guilty of cOntributory negll-
gence. The lawyers say that this abso-
lutely prevents the plaintiff recovering
any damages whatever if the verdict
stands as it was rendered The trial
court may change the answers if the
evidence warrants it or the supreme
court may. Neither is considered like
ly. The jury found that if the court
should decide that the plaintiff is en-
titled to recover that her damages are
$4,000.
The third jury trial, Musiel vs. Cor
itzka, was taken up Saturday morning
Monday afternoon seevral of the jur-
ors were stormbound and didn't get to
court till o'clock.
The case grew out of the building OF
the Empire treater on Marshall street,
the contractor suing the owner for an
alleged balance due. In the lower court
the defendant was given judgment
on his counterclaim. The testimony
was all in Tuesday afternoon.
Tuesday afternoon the case of the
Aluminium Specially company vs. the
Goodrich Transit company was begun.
The action is against the initial car
rier for the loss of some freight ship
ped over several lines to the east.

LOCAL BEER CASE

The case in federal court at Milwau-
kee wherein Manitowoc parties are
making heroic, last ditch stand to
save mild beer from the prohibition
wreck was argued last week.
One of the main points of the de-
fense is that the Eighteenth amend
ment merely forbids the manufacture,
sale and import of intoxicating liquors
and does not define What intoxicating
liquors are. That the power of con-
gress to legislate contrary to the de
sire of any state on this matter must
be drawn from this amendment and
that congress has no power to ban IL
quor containing 2.5 per cent of alco-
hol, as it does, if such liquor is not as
a matter of fact Intoxicating; that the
power of congress, assuming the
amendment to be valid, is to enforce
the prohibition of liquors that really
are Intoxicating and that its powers do
not extend to prohibiting liquors as in
toxicating that as a matter of fact are
not Intoxicating, such as mild beer up
to 2.5 per cent

BIG REALTY MOVEMENT

1t was presumed from general ap-
pearances that realestate activity in
Manitowoc in 1919 exceeded anything
in that line in the history of the
county. The complete figures of the
register of deeds for the year supply
the exact information. In 1918 the
numberof deeds recorded was l,l2t In
1919 it was 1905. Thirteen plats were
recorded the past year, the largest
number ever recorded in year. The
cash receipts of the Office in 1918 were
So, ,S23.90 In 1919 they were $4,3l2.l6.
A notable evidence of prosperity in the
figures below is the surprising decrease
in the numberof mortgages and the
great increase in the satisfactions of
mortgages. The following is COM
parative statement of the Office for the
past two years:

VICTORIA HOTEL FOR CITY HALL

Since the city was recently given
notice that after next September the
present council chamber will not be for
rent the logical thing has appeared to
be a city hall if financing it is at pres
ent not insuperable. The city was hard
" ready for the announcement that
came last week that city officials had
taken an option on the Victoria hotel
premises at Franklin and Ninth street
giving until March | for the purchase
of the premises for Si,7O0. CITY
officials for many years have cast
covetous eyes at available sites near
this corner for city hall as it is the
logical place for it but such good for
tune as to be able to get site such
as this with an easily adapted building
in these times of almost prohbitive
building costs was hardly anticipated.
The property offered has a frontage
of 1l5 feet on Franklin street and l2O
feet on Ninth street and is occupied by
three-story brick hotel building leav-
ing frontage of forty feet on Frank
lin street at the corner vacant. There
is a ubstantial brick building facing
Ninth street which is capable of being
made into good police station The
news Saturday created pretty general
satisfaction as the present city offices
are crowded, some Offices are separated
from the rest and the council chamber
will have to be located elsewhere soon.
1t will be too bad ifthis opportunity is
permitted to expire without action.
Hotel facilities in Manitowoc have
been inadequate for some years and If
the Victoria should be devoted to other
purposes and possibility of the new
owners of the Williams converting it
into a store building the projected new
hotel better be started soon.
At the special meeting of the city
council Monday evening the council
voted to confirm the options and ac-
cept them but final action on accepting
the property at the price offered was
postponed until there is more definite
information on the cost of necessary
alterations. There is but little doubt
that the thing will go through If the
option is exercised some of the Offices
at the new place can be occupied at
once. There was rumor about that
the holders of the option had been of
fered $4,000 for it.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By j. w. Voborill
MORAL EDUCATION

We are but bundle of habits.
Whether those habits are good or bad
| determines our character.
Most of our habits, indeed we may
say all of them, are formed before we
reach the age of twenty-ono. Under
normal conditions child spends n
great many Of those years in the school
room. AS rule the child is trans
ferred, we may say from the environ
ment of the home to the environment
of the school at the age of seven. He
spends the majority of his young years
in hesc oolroom; and his habits are
formed during those plastic years.
There are many ways in which the
teacher can aid in molding the charac-
ters of those young people intrusted to
his care.
Dung are quick to initiate, and
one way to teach right living is by ex-
ample. Very often in general exercise
talk may be given, not sermon,
just n heart to heart talk, in which the
teacher may bring in something which
will be of help to aid the children in
personal improvement For instance,
little acts of politeness and thrift which
soon become habit.
Association with nature does lot
towards building child's character.
Lead the child TO observe and love the
beautiful in nature as the birds, flowers,
trees, sunsets, etc.
The care of animal life makes child
thoughtful and tender, Encourage
him to have pets and help him to have
the proper attitude towards his little
outdoor brothers The language lesson
may often be based on this work,
$40 teach a good picture or poem it
is said, is like a sermon teaching a
great truth" Help the children 10
cultivate taste for the beautiful in
literature and art.
If you can sacceed in having in your
schoolroom what you may call, IAN
air of refinement" you are not only
helping yourpupils, but they will want
to have this same condition in the home.
Play has great influence on the
morals of children. The children who
play vigorously at recess and noon are
much easier to discipline than those
who don't, They get a chance to use
their surplus energy in good whole
some manner.
School government does much to-
wards forming character. In well
governed school children controltheir
evil impulses. They work in harmony
and respect the rights of others and the
authority of the teacher. Right action
soon becomes habitual with them
This is the most important step toward
making good citizens.
There are many other instances
which might be cited But in closing
let me say that the highest privilege
which anyone may enjoy is the right
to train the young in such % way; that
they grow up to be credit to their
country and to the community in which
they live.
