TAKE OFF TWO TRAINS

The c. & N, w. company has dis
continued passenger trains Nos. 3Os
and lO9 between Manitowoc and Mil
waukee. The new order was in effect
Monday. The local post of the Travel
ers' Protective associated wired to Mr..
Hughitt, president of the railroad COM
pany protesting against the change
The officers received courteous reply
from Mr.. Hughitt explaining why the
change is necessary. He saws that a
policy of rigid economy requires that
these two trains be discontinued until
improvement of business conditions
and traffic warrant restoring them.
The taking off of No. 100, the train
arriving at Manitowoc about 8 D. m.
from Milwaukee, results in the Ash
land limited stopping at Cedar Grove,
Oostburg and Cleveland and will prob
ably result in that train getting in here
late nearly every evening as was its
habit before l09 was put on.
These two trains have been very con
venient for reaching Milwaukee and
getting home and they will be missed
by travellers.
Conductor Charles Sherman of this
city has been in charge of these trains
for some time.

BIG GOODS PICNIC

The annual picnic of the Aluminium
Goods company was held at Silver Lake
last Saturday. This was the twenty
third annual recurrence of the event.
The big parade on downtown streets, a
feature in former years, was omitted
but otherwise the affair was bigger and
better than ever, except for the alb
sence of some forms of good cheer due
to the wen known eighteenth amend
ment. The Marine band played con-
certs at the plant in the morning while
the crowds |ere being taken away in
every form of motor conveyance and
the band later joined the throngS at the
lake.
The program included many kinds of
games, and contests. There was also,
of course, music and dancing with not
a duh minute from the morning until
the last of the merrymakers LETT the
lake.
President George Wits and the other
officials were on hand to see that
everything ran smoothly.
1t was estimated that over 5000 peo-
pie were at the picnic site and every
one considered the affair at least as
good as former years, which is reaching
a high standard.

guard unit, arrived home Saturday

OF thirty-six pieces met the boys at the
railway station and there was big
crowd of spectators. A procession
formed and marched through the
downtown streets The soldiers march
ed to the armory, broke ranks and
went home.
The company came home covered
with glory 1t was the largest in num-
bers and was unexceled in discipline,
organization and morale among the
forty companies in camp. The COM
pany carried all honors in the Gath
Brigade.
The fact that the officers including
non-cons are nearly all red-arrow vet
erans, NJ doubt contributed to the sue
cess Of the company in getting into
splendid condition.
Capt Schmidt was acting major of
the First Battalion with both Lieuts.
Schmitz and Kahl in command of the
company at times The fine condition
of Company c put Mantowoc on all
tongues at the camp
This was the first encampment un-
der the new system of having larger
units at camp and although the men
enjoyed the work immensely it was a
long, hard grind and they were glad to
uotr the Khaki and get back to the shop
Mant lwoc is proud of the company,
and il is incumbent on all citizens to
let the guardsmen know that their eff
forts are appreciated, and to lend such
supper and encouragement as they
can.

near Grimms suffered staggering loss
Tuesday evening when fire destroyed a
large barn. machinery sheds, all of this
seasons crops, 100 tons of hay and all
farm machinery on the place. 1t is par
tally covered by insurance. Mr., Cohen
purchased the farm when prices had
not entirely receded from the peak of a
few years ago and this shrinkage, to-
gether with the fire loss is piling it on.
The fire was discovered about 6 p. m.
and valiant fight was made but the
fire had too big a lead. Fortunately,
the cattle, thirty head, and the horses

GAMERS BELOW AVERAGE

The pea packing season closed last
week. The pack runs about 10 per cent
of normal from about rs per cent of
normal acreage The packers say that
the Manitowoc county crop was much
better than other pea canning sections
Of the state. The year was very poor
due to lack of rain and rapid ripening
Of the peas because of long continued
excessive heat. The Gamers say that
with short crop, high labor costs and
high freight rates there Is little prospect
of lower prices.
The canning Of string beans follows
directly upon the close of the pea can
ming season and The reports are that
the string bean crop looks fair.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

At last a start has been made in en-
forcing the law against the motor
drivers who in defiance of law and in
selfish disregard of the rights and com
fort of others operate their cars with
unnecessary noise. The strident, con
tnued shrek of a horn frOma standing
automobile employed as substitute
for door bell is an insufIerable nui-
sance on a quiet evening People for
block around are aroused and an
noyed. A half dozen or more go to
the door to see who is wanted, all to
relieve from a twenty-foot walk some
lazy youngsters seated on the small of
his back in a roadster. The state law
provides that the horn shall not be
used Except as a warning of danger
Is there any reason why this law should
not be enforced as well as the speed
law and other traffic regulations?
All this is a preface to the statement
that f. V. Everson paid Sl5,4G in
court last week for making too much
noise with his automobile. He was
running with his muffler cut out and
paid no attention to the officer who
hailed him. When reached by phone
he was "too busy" to come over to the
police state. The intimation was given
out that if he had explained to the
police as he did to the Judge no com
plant would have been made This is
the mistake. The cut out and the
SIN eking horn saying "come OUT have
become unbearable, and complaint
should be made until the public's rights
are respected.
Bert Siciles. aged 22, a stranger in

charged with forgery. lie is accused
of having issued FIVE checks at Two
Rivers, totaing S32 to which he signed
the name of any old friend and army
pal, William Willeyer. Sickles pleaded
guilty and sentence was withheld until
his record can be ascertained. He says
this is the first offensc.
One Bert Duffy, so he said his name
was. was arrested Saturday night for
disorderly conduct and on Sunday he
was set free by the police upon de
posting Sl5 to guarantee that he would
be on hand when wanted Monday morn
ing. He was wanted Monday and he
wasn't there but the SIS was. The
costs were $5.as so the court with the
Misdom of solomon fined him g us
absence S9.02, which exhausted the Sl5
and obyiated the necessity of any extra
bookkeeping entries.
