MARKET A SUCCESS

The city market which started out
some months ago with all the appear
ance of ghastly failure continued to
improve until it has grown to unhoped
for proportions. Both sides of the
street are now used by the vendors
that is on Saturdays. Tuesday has not
developed many sellers and it may be
that one day per week is enough.
Changing to Wednesday, and Saturday
may he tried. Last Saturday there
were on sale green corn, apples, Gu
cumbers, cabbage, beets, tomatoes
poultry live and dressed, butter, eggs
cup cheese, honey, milk and variety
of other dairy and garden products.
Business was brisk from before 7 a
m. until 6 o'clock. The market is on
Jaw street between Ninth and Tenth
streets. 1t will be necessary to pro-
hibit automobile traffic on the street
during market hours if the business
keeps on increasing.

teenth and Washington streets the bur

and then forced the safe, finding there
cash. a gold watch and 10000 mark
bond of Berlin, Germany.
At the II. NJ. 5. garage at Franklin
and Fourteenth streets q number OF
cord tires and small sum of money
was secured.
At the office Of the Schmitt Lumber

the visitors forced a steel cabinet ana
made off with a $50 Liberty bond and
about S25 in cash.

ing no large sums of money on hand

NUMBER I
EXPLAIN RAILROAD ACTION

A. N LaComb, division superin-
tendent and r. II. Cheney, division
trahlc manager, of the c. & N. w
railway were here last week look ing
INTO the protests over the taking off of
TWO passenger trains between here and
Milwaukee. They met and conferred
with Mayor Georgenson and business
men and showed why the company
deemed the removal of the trains TO he
necessary. They said that during July
the company spent SIl3 for operating
expenses to earn every 500 of income
and that other roads have been curtail-
ing service long before their company
began. There is but slight prospect of
restoration of the trains at any time in
the near future.
Following the departure of the rail
way officials the protests grew instead
Of being abated and assumed the form
of tentative plans to appeal to the
state railroad commission to compel
the restoration of the two trains and
restoration of parlor car service on the
train leaving here for Milwaukee at 8
o'clock in the morning.
1t is claimed that Manitowoc is the
only sufferer from the curtailment of
service as both Sheboygan and Port
Washington have frequent electric line
service to and from Milwaukee.

NEW 0L0 QUESTION

One of those "new" questions, which
are new only to those who are new to
affairs, bobbed up last week when Mr..
c. G. Ertz refused to pay the corner
block of the sidewalk built in front of
his residence. This question has been
arising ever since concrete sidewalks
began to be laid and probably earlier.
Owners of corner lots have once in a
while refused to build the corner block
of walk or the two short pieces lead
ing therefrom to the curb.
1t was pointed out by Getty officials
that paving assessments are a parallel
in favor of the city but the contrary is
the fact, as in paving the city pays for
paving the street crossings. The ques-
tion is not important to any individual
but in the aggregate would amount to
an appreciable sum in the course of a
few years.
One South side owner, ten years
ago, built a walk around two sides OF
his corner lot and left this square, and
the two short leads, for the city to
build. and so it remained for years.
Some day some citizen with the daunt-
less breast of a Hampden will ask
courts to pass on this interesting, if
unimportant, quibble.

START COOPERATIVE MARKETING

There was a big meeting of farmers
Tuesday afternoon in the city in the
matter of organizing a branch of the
Equity Dairymen's Cooperative Asso-
citation, a new Wisconsin organization,
to affiliate with the National Milk
Producers association.
The meeting was enthusiastic in
favor of the plans The purposes and
methods were thoroughly explained By
Charles Holman of Washington, ID. c.,
secretary of the national organization.
In brief it is\an application of the
growing system of collective bargaining
and elimination of useless middlemen
in marketing The organization claims
that it can raise the prices paid to the
farmer without increasing the cost to
the consumer by the elimination of
some of the handling agencies that levy
toll as the product passes along. 1t
was reported that over 1000 dairy
COWS were pledged at the meeting.

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT

Superintendent of Schools Waite
! filed his annual report at the meeting
of the city board of education held last
week.
One of the main features of the re-
1rt was the request that the board
olceed at once to acquire title to sites
school buildings which it is be-
~ ~, d will be needed in the not distant
love re. This is particularly true of a
boltor junior high and grade build
next the north side.
Tire PRESSING need of improvements
in aept school buildings is pointed
out alec n some of these are being
made byf lie work being done this
summer.
The report recommends standardiz-
ing the equipment in the city schools
and an exhaustive treatment of this
subject is included.
In connection with the constant eff
fort to improve the courses of study
and promote efficiency attention is
called to the fact that state report
placed our schools below the standard
set for reading in the elementary
schools.
He asks that capable teachers be re-
tained even if it is necessary to raise
salaries to keep them. There is also
discussion of the question of the prin-
cipals teaching. In three schools, the
Lincoln, the Jefferson and the Madi-
son, the principals have only supervis-
ion duties and the report advocates
this system.
The list of teachers for the year has
been completed. There will be twenty
one new teachers in the schools There
is no change of principals or in super
vision of special subjects.
Mr.. Learned, who comes to take
charge of the history department OF
the high school will also have charge
of athletics.

DENIED CITIZENSHIP

There was a special hearing on nat
uralization applications in circuit court
last week. After the declaration Of
war in 1917 enemy aliens could not be
naturalized and action ON pending ap-
plications of citizens of Germany and
Austria was deferred. As this country
has been technically at war with the
central powers for over two years after
the signing Of the arnistice the ban
was continued until la Fly. In former
hearings two applications were denied
because the applicants had claimed
foreign citizenship as ground Tor eN-
emption when they were drafted. l'as'
week the application of Gustaye MuII
Of Two Rivers was denied because

war in Europe broke out, whcreupor

rushed out when released, thing many
thought never occurred. The loss is
about $4,000, partly covered by insur-
ance.
Mr.. Helm purchased the place about
year and n half ago from Nels Le-
claire He will rebuild at once.

Juneau had the honor of handing
Lange's Red Sox their first defeat Of
the present series at Juneau Sunday,
due largely to the effective hurling Of
Pitcher Logan, who held the hitherto
hard slugging Sox to five scattered
swats. Dodge was less effective than
usual and the fans who have followed
his work closely remarked that sooner
or later, the strain of hurlng three
or four hard games a week viii tell on
any pitcher. juneau chalkcd up ~
hits off the little moist ball artist, in
Guiding two doubles and two triples In
addition, Dodge passed four men and
famed but three Juneau scored a
run in each of the first four innings
and had the game in hand from the
start \ triple by Bues and a bonner
by Lewis figured heavily in Milwau-
KEGS scoring
In the other Shore league games,
Green Bay came to life and won its
first start of the series. before its home
fans, taking Two Rivers to a Z to 3
beating. Wooton, pitching Tor Green
Bay. allowed nine hits, but he kept
them well scattered and was inyincible
in the pinches Smthson, hurting for
Two Rivers, weakened near the close
of the game and walked enough men
to force i'm two runs. Green Bay made
six errors, but pulled together in every
emergency and held the upper hand at
all stages.
Buster Braun of Sheboygan won
pitching duel from Dick Crutcher of
Manitowoc, to 2, despite ragged sup
port, hits at opportune times giving
the Shehoygan clan a neat victory.
Crutcher was bit wild, issuing eight
passes.
The Aluminium Goods team lost to-
the Murinette city team at Marinette.
Sunday, 4 to L. The Manitowoc boys
would have had a complete set Of
goose eggs had it not been for ninth
inning rally. The Goods team made
eight safe hits to Marinette's six but
unfortunately it takes base running as
well as hits to make scores The occa-
sion was a big booster event for the
Marinette team and over 5000 people
saw the contest
The big game between Reedsyillei
and Kellnersyille broke up in row in
the ninth inning with kelInersvllle
leading, 5 to 4. We will not put our
life in jeopardy by trying to state who
was right except that in baseball
craftsmanship the umpire is always
right Kellncrsyile was at bat with
two out and the bases filed. Paul
Gosz called ball along the first base
line fair and stuck to it. Reedsylllc
said il was foul by a quarter mile and
stuck to it and the umpire awarded the
game to Kelnersyille, 9 to 0. 1t was a
fine ball game up to the blow up and
nh fans in the county hope the boys
will get together and settle the qucs-
ton of supremacy What appear to
he rank decisions at a critical point in
a game are certainly aggrayating, but
there can be no baseball unless the de
cisions Of the umpire agreed upon are
accented. Decisions by the players IS
out of the question, and sportsmanshlp
requires that q team gan and bear 1t
sometimes for the good o. the game
There is also always the possibility
that the umpire is as far from eight as
p8rtisanship makes itself believe.
