JEWISH GIRL FROM POLAND

Miss I.uby LiesS, sister of Mrs
David Balkansky, arrived in the city
last Friday from Poland. She tells a
narrowing tale of privation and suffer
ing. Her father and mother died from
under nutrition, virtually starvation,
md she wasted away to skin and
bones. She left 3i0lls:ock, poland, on
May 4 and arrived at New York June
81 and came directly to Manitowoc.
She says that if it were not for help
received from America the people in
all her part of Europe would long since
have died of starvation. Most of the
remittances sent to her by relatives
here never reached her and for several
years she received no word from them,
although they wrote often. This was
true until very recent date, although
her letters were received here.
Miss LESS is "a years of age. She
does not speak English but speaks
German fuently
There was a happy reunion at the
Balkansky home last Thursday even
ing and the family listened to the re
cital until 5 a. m.

RUG BEATfRS BEAT LANDLORD

Four colored men travelling in an
automobile reached the city this week
and were doing business with house
wives as expert carpet heaters. Just
what expertness is needed to WELD a
beater is not disclosed, but they were
getting the business A deputy sheriff
from Fond du Lac followed their trail
to this city and asserted that expert as
they were at beating rugs they were
even better at beating landlords. He
had a board bill for $50 which the ex-
perts had carelessly overlooked when
they left Fond du Lac. Now in Wis
consin one may neglect the grocer or
butcher with impunity but the Jail
yawns if the hotel man is not paid.
After settling up with the deputy sheriff
for the original bill, costs, officers fees
and expenses the total had grown from
$50 to $40. 1t will take quite a few
rugs to make up that $40 unless tray
cling experts fees are considerably
higher than those of the ordinary do
nestle carpet beater.

POSTMASTER RESIGNS

Herman c. Schuette who succeeded
II. G. kress as postmaster five years
ago has filed his resignation with the
department at Washington and has re-
quseted to be relieved from his duties
July lst, today Mr.. Schuette alleges
press of personal business as the rea-
son for his retirement. He is associat-
ed with the Manitowoc Construction
Company which has some big paving
contracts and his experience is needed
in the work.
Since Mr.. Schuette entered the
Office it has been placed under civil
service and is virtually a life job for
an efficient official. Several vacancies
in important offices in neighboring
cities have been filled lately by Re
publicans.
Rumors of applications were in cir
culation at once and half dozen
names were mentioned. Not all of
them have authorized the use of their
names
1t is expected that assistant post
master Behringer will be in charge of
the Office from today until a new post
master is appointed.

LIGHT ZONES DETERMINED

The Utilities Committee and the
Street Committee of the city council
met in Joint session last week and de-
cided upon the parts of streets which
they will recommend for the new orna-
mental lighting.
The council has already made
Eighth street from Chicago to Marshall
a part of the great white way" and
the committees agreed to recommend
that following streets be added;
Washington street, from Seventh to
Seventeenth.
Franklin street, from Seventh to
Seventeenth.
Tenth street from Washington to
the bridge,
Ninth street, from Washington to
Franklin.
Jay street, from Eighth to Tenth.
Thirteenth street, from Washington
to Franklin.
The contractors give assurance that
the new lighting will be ready for the
big home coming celebration in the
latter part of August.
As these two committees are a ma
.jority of the city council the project as
outlined will doubtless go through at
the next meeting.

CONDEMN FOR CEMETERY LAND

Last Thursday three commissioners,
August Schuette of this city, Louis
Busse of Reedsyille and Henry Schwa-
ke of lNu Riv,1s heard the testimony
as to the value of a part of the real
estate between Evergreen cemetery
and Michigan avenue which the city
wants to add to the cemetery. A large
part of the land was bought by the
city at private sale but nine owners
could not agree with the city on prices
and this condemnation proceeding was
the result The proceeding was quite
informal but became quite spirited at
times as attorneys for the owners and
City Attorney f.. l.. Kelley warmed to
the task. Owners were represented by
A. l.. Hougen, f. S. Schmitz and Harry
Kelley and several appeared and testi-
fled on their own behalf without the
assistance of attorneys.
Three of four building contractors
testified and some real estate experts.
The commissioners have twenty days
in which to file their awards. The own
ers. may appeal to the circuit court if
they are not satisfied with the amounts.

RIVERVIEW HOUSES SOLD

The Manitowoc Shipbuilding com
pany has sold the 100 residences built
at Riverview addition by the United
States Emergency Fleet corporation
during the war for the housing of ship
yard workers and which the company
purchased from the government at
public auction for $4,000 a month
or two ago. The purchaser is the
Manitou Realty company of this city,
said to be largely julius Lindstedt and
Frank Hoffman.
The sale by the shipbuilders was
upon the three following conditions:
L. That the rentals be reduced at
once.
2. That shipyard workers have the
first opportunity for buying
homes for thirty days.
3, That prices during this option
period of 80 days shall not ex-
ceed $500 for five room houses,
$3.50 for a six room house or
$4,000 for a seven room house,
For the three sizes of houses the
rentals are to be respectively
S25, S2S and S32 per month.

FRUITERS READY FOR SEA

The first of the steel steamers built
for the New York Cuban fruit trade is
ready for service and will probably
leave today or tomorrow for her long
journey down the lakes, the St. Law
renee and the coast to New York.
There is a great scramble by boys
and young men to get a berth in the
crew on these trips for the sake of the
trip. Even jobs as dishwashcrs are at
a premium. The first of these boats is
the Cayo Mambi Her sister ship will
be ready in a week or two. They are
graceful appearing ships of fine lines
and contrast sharply with The beamy
frcightcrs built for the Emergency
Fleet corporation.
