restrict the weight and may limit
the speed OF any motor vehicle pas

Coopers' Mills in the town Of White

The complaint was made by II. A.

Highway Commission, in which 1t

Bangor, on Sept. 8 operated a.
truck with gross weight OF nearly
10 tons over bridge across stream
IN the village OF Coopers' Mills. not
withstanding the fact that conspicu-
ous notices had been posted at each
end OF the bridge, limiting the
weight which might pass over 1t. to

speed estimated at | from 10 to 20
mile. an hour in spite of the fact
that the law specifically stipulates
that no motor vehicle with a gross
weight in excess OF 6 tons shall be
operated upon any bridge at a rate OF
speed greater than 6 miles an hour.
The bridge is over deep gully
and is badly ont Of repair. The OPP

WANT KABAT PARDONED

Pardon applications for conycts
seem to be fashionable. With applica-
tions pending before the governor for
such celebrities as Grace LuSk, John
Till and Dog Skin Johnson it was prob
ably inevitable that Wenzel Kabat
would fall in line News dispatches
yesterday reported that an application
to the governor for his pardon has
been filed with recommendation of
numerous residents in and about the
village of Reedsville, his home.
The application is based upon the
assertion that Kabat was convicted
upon circumstantial evidence, the re-
port says. What is probably meant to
be asserted is that it was weak circum-
stantial evidence. Kabat was convict
ed of the murder of a farmer named
Mccarthy in Outagamie county, whose
body was destroyed by fire in the
woods on his place. Deeds to the Nc
Carthy farm were found in his posses
sion He was sentenced for a life term.
He made a sensational escape from the
state prison and was at large two
years.

SOCIAL GATHERING

The local Rotarians had a get-ac-
quainted social for the city teachers
at the Elks club Monday evening
Somebody had an inspiration surely
as it was a pleasant and effective
method of having the out of town
teachers meet and get acquainted
with large number of the local resi-
dents. Young people thus employed
in strange town usually find it a
long task to get into the social life
of the town. Manitowoc has not been
noted for making it easier than other
places. At this social everyone was
tagged and everybody mixed without
formality. There was a grand march
with favors, chorus singing, other
music, dancing and a lunch. The af-
fair was a success and adds one more
to the credit of the Rotary Club.

CANCER

Twenty-three hundred deaths from
cancer will be recorded in Wisconsin
during 1921, according to an estimate
made by the state board of health.
This MEANS" says a statement of the
board" that a large number of useful
citizens will be removed from our
midst by a malady which is primarily
durable"
Cancer of the stomach and liver will
be charged with approximately one
half Of the deaths recorded during this
period" continues the statement of the
board. Moreover, males and females
will be equally affected An additional
one-fourth of the deaths from cancer
will occur among women, the disease
attacking the breast and gencrative
organs.
Stated in another way, while III
men and IL women die each week in
Wisconsin of cancer of the stomach
and liver, ! additional women die of
cancer of the breast and gcnerative or
gans during the same short period"
In order to emphasize the enormous
toll exacted by cancer, the statistician
of the board has expressed the mortal
ity in terms of one week. Thus, one
Wisconsin citizen dies of cancer of the
mouth each week, one of the skin, six
Of the intestines, eleven Of the female
breast and generative organs, twenty
two of the stomach and liver and three
of other organs, total of forty-four
each week.
although this record is a startling
one" continues the statement, at is
fairly representative of conditions
throughout the United States. How
ever, a careful study shows that the
death rates from cancer in Wisconsin
have been increasing during the past
few years, therein exceeding similar
combined rates for the remainder OF

progress at the courthouse this week.
The attendance will surpass that of the

STATE ASSESSMENT

The assessment against the gem
eral property of the state was COM
pleted by the tax commission Tues
day and shows an increase of $24,-
041 ,432, or 53-100ths of l per cent
over 1920. Real estate increased in
value $104,278,240, but the assess
ment of personal property decreased
$50, 0,237,30S.
All taxable property of the state
is estimated at $4,594, ,739, 1862 for
taxing purposes by the commission
in comparison to $4,570,698, $50 in
1920. There is but a small compar-
ative increase in the real estate prop
erty values in comparison to former
years when increases in valuations of
hundreds of millions of dollars were
common.
The decrease in the value of per-
sonal property is attributed by the
tax commission as primarily due to
the greatly reduced price of livestock
and merchants and manufacturers
goods.
Railroad and other corporation tax
es are based on the rate of general
property assessed which will be prac-
tically the same this year as last,
judged by the assessment announced
Tuesday. Milwaukee, Dane, Racine,
Rock, Dodge, Sheboygan, Fond du
Lac and Winnebago counties showed
the greatest property values.
The assessment of all property in
Manitowoc county is 500, ,463
Milwaukee's assessment is 1866, ,453,-
303; Dane county is assessed at
$227,842,95 Racine, $137, ,984,3OS;
Rock, $133, 3,3O7,626; Sheboygan,
$106,615,376; Fond du Lac, $1O3,-
271,798; Winnebago, 02,104,204.

POLICE FIND BOOZE CACHE

The police are holding and waiting
for the owner to call for one copper
still in good working condition and
two gallons of the product of the
still. The other day the police re-
ceived a telephone tip that search
of a lumber pile between the Seven
son Garage and the Kossuth House
might reveal something interesting.
The search revealed the still and
moonshine. The police announced
publicly that they had found this
property and that it was awaiting
identification at the station. 1t is
quite probable that the moon would
be good old 20 year stuff long before
anyone would attempt to recover the
lost goods.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

A Hudson car driven by Mr.. Sixel
of Sheboygan and carrying Mrs. Six

to give sufficient room to pass. The
accident happened Sunday on Route
l6 when the Sixels were coming to
Manitowoc from a visit at Maple
Crest sanitarium near Whitelaw. The
car landed upside down. The occu-
pants reported minor injuries.
An Elcar driven by Alex Pokorski
of Newton made almost total loss
of a Ford driven by J. NJ. Crevecour

DISARMAMENT ORGANIZATION

Manitowoc is to have its own dis
armament conference. A committee
representing apparently nearly every
considerable phase of the city's life
met Monday evening upon a public
call. A mass meeting was called for
next Tuesday evening.
The main idea appears to be to
awaken public interest in the inter
national conference on the limita-
ton Of ornaments to be held at
Washington upon invitation of our
government and the study of its pur-
poses and to aronse community inter
est in the conference.
The meeting last Monday was pre-
sided over by Mayor Georgenson.
Permanent officers elected were:
Chairman-Mayor Georgenson.
Vice-C -Chairman-Orrin Hanson.
Secretary-Mrs. Clara Bressler.
Treasurer-Mrs. j. A. Strathearn.
A general committee was also
named to extend the scope and mem
bership of the organization. The
members of this committee are Mrs.
Strathearn, Orrin Hanson, Carl Berg,
Ben Hanson and Miss Flora Waldo.
An attempt will be made to engage
the active work of the patriotic So
cieties and get the schools interested
in the subject.
Every citizen alive at all to where
rival armaments is leading civiliza-
tion must do anything he can be it
ever so little to aid in the move
ment for aninternational understand
ing looking to limitation of war prep
arations, but we cannot resist ex-
pressing our conviction that the pres
ent turmoil and travail would be all
unnecessary had not senatorial cab
al bent solely on miserable partisan
advantage baked a participation by
our country in the greatest and most
benefC ent international movement
in the worlds history.

The local Knights of Columbus OBJ
served Landing Day with celebration
at their clubhouse Wednesday evening,
There was fine musical program, in
Guiding singing by Mrs A. f. Rank and
Earl Ryan with Emma Wit at the
piano, The principal speech was made
by Leo f. Fox of Chiffon, who made
an appropriate address which, judging
by the close attention paid, held and
pleased the audience. He cleyerly CON
nected the lesson to be drawn from the
work of Columbus to the duty of com
batting radicaliSm in American affairs,
subject on which he has specialized
and which he handles ably and con
vincingly.
After this there was dancing and a

ASSESSMENT HIGHER

The total figures on the assessment
in the county this year show loss IL
personal property of $1,797,233 for
the year. This is due largely to de-
creased values of live stock and mer-
camille stocks. Cattle in the county
alone are worth a half million less
than in 1920.
There is, however, a gain of $2,-
850,190 in real estate values which
leaves a net gain OF over a million.
The real estate gain is largely due
to increases in the city of Two Riv-
ers.
Automobiles show a decline in val
ue of $66,613 despite an increase of
ID per cent in the number of them.
Two Rivers has 28 per cent more
motor cars than it had in 1920 and
Manitowoc IL per cent more.
