THE WORM TURNS

The local Rotary club has directed
its secretary to file with the state Rad
road Commission formal protest
against the service given this city by
both the {, & N, w and the 500 line
The action was doubtless prccipitated
by the annulment Of one train each
way between Manitowoc and Eland
Junction by way of Green Bay 1t
will be pointed out that this is discrim-
mating against this city in favor Of
Green Bay and is a very serious blow
to business here as it does not permit
people along the line to come here and
get home by rail the same day The
service Is otherwise unsatisfactory and
the 500 line service never was much
better than huge joke, unless one had
to use the line when the humor was
not quite so apparent.
The petition will ask for hearing
in the matter Of the service on both
lines at Manitowoc. But, say, where,
oh where Is the Chamber Of Commerce.

breast of their raids. They owned up
to entering the Vogelsang Furniture
store, the Chandler shop, twice, George
Brothers, the Behnke optical shop and
the City News Depot, They had plans
for a number of other jobs, including a
second visit to the News Depot. They

KIWANIANS MEET FARMERS

The local Kiwanis club had its sec
ond get together meeting with farmers
at the Charles Thalhammer place in
the town of Liberty last Monday even
ing. There forty-fve farmers and
forty Kiwanans sat down to a chicken
dinner at 1880. President Plumb pre-
sided and there were talks by Edward
Bedell, T.. G. Mash, County Agent
Smith, Edward Knutzen, Adolph Otto,
DIR, c. M. Gleason, M. NJ. Geraldson
and Thomas McKeough. There was
mass singing, story telling and gen
eral mixing socially The affair was a
large success and the get together
meetings will be continued. The idea
is to have the business and professional
men of the city meet and mingle with
the farmers, exchange ideas and each
get something of the other fellows
viewpoint in the interests of better un-
derstanding and closer friendships.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

William T. Golding of Chicago went
off with the automobile of new ac-
quaintance Monday evening. He
wrecked the car IN the Calumet road
and the. wound by ,lshing tTC
bogus checks on his friends blanks at
Herman Kugler's at Rapids. He came
to town and cashed another phoney
paper at the Olson saloon on Com
mertial street He was found by the
police at the Carpenter place on Com
mercial street.
The district attorney offered no OBJ
iectionS to Golden's being placed on
parole when the whole story came out
in court 1t is a first otfense and was
apparently due largely to moonshine.
There was a possibility also of partial
rresponsibility at times as an effect of
experience in a machine gun com
pany overseas.
A kewpic doll concesSionaire at the
fair grounds named +. l.. Taylor, was
arraigned Tuesday for beating it up
New York avenue in his fivver. He
said that Henry doesn't furnish a

was going so fast Old stuff; ten and
costs.

lieu of a doorbell, and especially at
night, they will be called blessed,

the sum of S62.l4. The defendants
counterclaim was dismissed. 1t arose
out of motor collision near Mishicot

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

All doubts in regards to the effcc-
tiyeness of the dry dock being capable
of performing the work which its de
signerS and builders contemplated has
been set at rest, and we now may con
iidcntly announce to the lake marine
that the port of Manitowoc possesses
the largest dry dock on the lake in full
and successful operation. The dimen-
Sions of the dock are as follows;
Length 265 feet; breadth on bottom,
40 feet; depth of water when full, Is
feet, Untold difficulties were encOun-
tered in building this dock, owing to
the nature of the ground. Then when
all was. completed, there were leaks
caused by the washing away of the
soil that surrounded it; but the in
dOmittble perseverance of the gentle
men composing the company determin-
ed them to spare no efforts or expense
in perfecting the dock so that it should
he second to none on the lakes. On
Saturday last there well directed eff
forts were crowned with success, and
the schooner Industry, which had been
in it all the past season, and almost
entirely rebuilt, was let into the river,
and her place taken by the propeller
Fayette, of Cleveland. In three hours
after the Fayette entered, the dock
was emptied entirely of water, and, to
use a fgurative expression, it was dry
as a chip. The proprietors are to be
congratulated upon this success, and
already there are several vessels
awaiting their turn to be accommodate
ed.
1t will be seen from the dimensions
of the dock above given, that it is ca
pable of receiving vessels of the larg-
est class, and Manitowoc can now
proudly boast of having not only the
best and safest harbor on the lakes, but
unsurpassed facilities for repairing and
building vessels.

COUNTY FAIR

This is county fair week and the
big annual show is making good on its
rather liberal promise 1t looks like
the biggest fair in the history of the
show and this is the thirty-eighth on
these grounds.
There is no carnival on the lot and
opinion is divided on the question of
whether it isn't better far by reason
of that fact.
The exhibition halls are full. The
stock pavilons are crowded with blue
and red ribbon horses, cattle, and
swine. The automobile show under a
circus "big top is worth the price of
admission to the grounds to any one
interested in motor cars. The pike is
unusually crowded with the customary
petty games of chance. The free at
fractions are first class and the five
men and girl in musical and dane
ing act are "big time" stuff.
The horse races are filled, and
Wednesdays program furnished some
fine racing, despite two bad spills on
the track and another accident when a
horse went through the fence.
The 2:30 pace went to Albert Beck
er's Qunla, after finishing third in the
first heat Cochato Belle (Schwinn)
finished second and Doctor Highwood
(Ffeifer) third. Best time, 2:19H.
Nine horses started in this race.
The 2:l5 pace finished: Laddie
(Nohlechek), Glory (Mahnke) and
Sweet Symbol (Huch). Best time,
2I2%.
There were seven starters in the
2:30 trot The three first horses were
Tentmaker (Spitzer), May Verton
(Olson), Ruth Tod (Pfefer) Best
time, 2I7H.
The grounds were crowded last
night and the fireworks display was
fully up to the high standard set last
year. Yesterday was by far the big
gest second day in the history of the
fair.
All in all it is a fine county fair
and amply iustifes its existence.

WASHINGTON.-To the general
public, the boil weevil is a pestiferous
insect which does something to the
cotton crop. To the grower the boil
weevil is cataclysm, a disaster, a
nightmare of terror. To the country
as a whole the boil weevil is the cause
of an economic loss of unguessed pro-
portions.
According to statistics of the de-
partment of agriculture, in the year
1921 the crop of cotton harvested was
/,954,O00 bales. 1t should have beei
l8,666,00O but 10,7l2,0OO were ruine,
by natural causes, and of this enor-
nous quantity SO destroyed the boil
Neevil alone accounted for 6,277,0I
bales, worth with the seed which
would have been ginned, SOLO, 34l 900,
for the thirteenyear period l9O9-l92l
the damage done by the boil weevi
reached the enormous total of 3,l02,-
$4,000.
1t is obvious that science can, if it
WILL eradicate the boil weevil, just as
it eradicated the mosquito and ma
laria and yellow fever from the Canal
Zone. AT one time one of the most
deadly spots on the face of the globe,
the Canal Zone is now one of the
healthiest. The job was done because
there was urgent need, real American
determination, and no lack of money.
The boil weevil can be Eradicate
or at least, controlled, and will be.
when the government spends enough
money at one time to do it, and no
before. 1t is pointed out in congress
that had one-half of the damage done
by the boil weevil been spent in fight
ing it, it would now be gone forever.
Cotton is necessary of life, and the
south, the great source of world cot
ton. Not to protect the product and
its growers by ample appropriations
to stamp out the insect which is enemy
not only to Americans but all Of mar
kind, is to refrain from spending
money in home defense as truly as if
it were human enemy instead of an
insect one, which menaces prosperity
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1922-09-19

The men were shown to have used
their citizenship in other countries as
a means of avoiding service in tn
United States armed forces during the
war, and it was proved that none
them served in the countries of the
origin. The judge held that men wi
would serve neither their own coun
try, because of residence in this, nor
this country, because of citizenship in
other countries, were not fit to become
citizens of the United States.
Legislative comment on the action
of the judge has been very favorable,
and some senators have pointed Oh
the Importance of other jurists taking
equal care and pains in granting final
papers. In this connection,
quotations have been made from re-
port of the house of representatives
committee on immigration and natur-
alization which show the importance
of safeguarding citizenship in the Unit.
ed States. According to the report,
survey of 90 state institutions, with !;
total of 21O,835 inmates, found 21.l4
per cent of this fifty million inmates
to be of foreign birth, and 44.0o per
cent either of foreign birth or having
at least one parent of foreign birth.
Institutional management thus devotes
at least one-third of total expendi-
lures to the foreign stock which has
arrived in the United States within
this generation If the states on the
average spend 81 per cent of their to-
tai revenues for maintaining made
ouates, about per cent of the tota
revenue is spent in caring for degener-
tie and dependent foreign human
stock.
