WISCONSIN CORN CROP

Wisconsin husked more corn from an
acre last year than any state in the
central corn belt Of the United States.
Pure bred, high yielding seed corn,
developed at the WISCONSIN Experi-
ment station and scattered over the
state by the members Of the Wisconsin
Experiment association is the reason
for the supremacy of Wisconsin as a
corn producing state" declares X. A.
Moore, of the College of Agriculture.
During the past year according to
the United States Crop reporter, Wis
conSin average yields were ~ bushels
to the acre as compared with Is bush
els for Kansas, 26 bushels for Neb-
raska, q bushels for Missouri, % bush

dead" SOLDIER WRITES

Three or four months ago there were
enquiries from the foster mother OF
William Dobry from Germany enquir-
ing as to the fate of Dobry. He was
inducted into the military service here
in 1918 and went to Camp CuSter-and
the war department seemed to be un-
able to locate him, probably due to the
fact that Dubry was a simplitied spell
ing of his real name. 1t developed
that his name had appeared on cas-
ualty list as killed in France, but as
friends here claimed to have received
postcards from him dated subsequent
to this alleged death the whole thing
became more and more mysterious.
Last week the people with whom he
boarded here received letter from
him from Montevideo, Uruguay, in
which he states that he is serving on
board the steamer Oskawa, and expects
to be in the states shortly and will
come back to Manitowoc.
In view of the fact that Dobry had
reputation for veracity, even those
who were sure that he was dead are
inclined to think he is telling the truth
when he insists that he is alive and that
there was some inaccuracies in the
thrilling accounts of his taking off over
there.

BASE BALL

John Herzog, from time out of mind
the city's baseball magnate, has sold
the local franchise in the Lake Shore
league to Joseph Wachowitz and
Stoney McGlynn.
Dick Crutcher, last years star pitch
err, has been signed and the signing of
a strong team is now under way. 1t is
hoped that the new management will
be able to give Manitowoc as good an
article of ball as it has become accus-
toned to. Since the organization of
the league there has not been a season
when Mr. Herzog did not have the 10
calls out in front fighting for the flag
and three or four times secured the
coveted bunting
Stoney has been in the game since it
was "out on the first bound" and if he
is but a small fraction as good a man
ager as he was a player the local end
will be we'll handled. Herzog deserves
lot of credit from the fans for keep
ing the game alive and prosperous
through many lean seasons.
The season will open with only four
teams and two more will go in on July
l when their ball parks will be ready.
May 9th Manitowoc will play at
Waukesha and on that day Two Riv-
erS will play at Sheboygan. Fond du
Lac and Port Washington will come in
later. There is no Milwaukee team in
the league, the McCoyS deSerting to
join with the star Chicago semi-pros
in a bigger" league

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

A teachers institute will be held in
the schoolhouse of District No l, in
the city of Manitowoc, commencing
Tuesday, June 7, 1870 and closing
Friday evening, June 10,
Robert Graham, Esq, of KenoSha,
assigned by the Board of Regents of
Normal Schools to aid in holding
teachers Institutes, will assist in con-
ducting the exercises Hon. A. D..
Craiz, superintendent of public instruc-
ton, is also expected to be present.
The names of these gentlemen are a
sufficient guaranty that there will be
no lack of executive ability to render
the project a success.
1t is earnestly recommended and de-
sired that every teacher who can pos
sbly attend, will do so; and that no
frivolous pretext such as ditIidence,
loss of time, etc, will be considered
cause for nonattendance. When the
people fully understand and appreciate
the advantages derived from institutes,
they will be willing that teachers shall
dismiss, their schools to attend, without
loss of wages. Female teachers will
be entertained by the citizens free of
expense while the institute is in ses-
sion.
Teachers who are so Indifferent to
their own Improvement, and to the
general welfare of educational inter
ests as to he wilfully absent on this
occasion, are unworthy of their posi-
tons and ought to be repudated. Ger
tiGcates of attendance will be given,
and district school officers when engag-
ing teachers for the next winter term,
will be advised to give preference to
persons holding such certificates.
