their devotion to a fellow-nOmad and
religious acetic is too well known
to make the argument that if it had
been the news would readily have
reached Ahab. They could be both
eyes and ears for the vanished proph-
ct and the news that came would
probably increase his conviction of
failure, as Jehovah worship steadily
declined in spite of famine and he
would bury himself still deeper in his
concealing cavern. God was teaching
him that club was poor tool with
which to create religion. But there
was need for further teaching.
THE DRYING BROOK.
The brook dried up. He must share
the fate of those upon whom he had
wished" the drought. The conse-
quences of sin affect saint and sinner
alike, but the saint has reserves that
the other lacks. Elijah went to the
last place where he would be sought,
the home of the queen who was seek
ing his life. There he learned that
kindness can dwell in the heart of
aliens and that the claim of mercy
might outclass that of blood. Small
wonder that his heart leaped to meet
the shared crust in generous promise
for all the days of famine. He may
have toiled in the shipyards-no one
knows how the provision kept barrel
and cruise from wasting-but the
prophet was a father to the boy and
a provider for the home through all
its need. His heart grew tender thru
those days of shared sustenance I'M
til he stormed Gods throne to bring
back the boys life Tradition says
that it was Jonah who owed his res
toration to the eager petition. But all
the time Elijah was sure of the pres
ence of God and made the wonderful
discovery that place had bearing upon
that Presence. 1t might be the depths

wilderness, it might be at the court of

Like Moses, he also endured Seeing
the invisible" But God consciousness
is not sufficient. The record reads
that he went and did" and Of the
woman the same fine phrase is used.
1t is for such souls that the limitless
resources of Almighty God are open.
We prefer to come and take" in
stead Of ego and do" and our faith
loses vigor, our prayers feryor, and
our souls vitality. It was this that
made Paul what he was, for he was
not disobedient, but also belonged to
the company Of Went and bidders. 1t
is upon such living that God can be-
stow abundant supplies for every
need. Not want, but need, and he

no unsupplicd need.

FIREMEN ON HALF TIME

On New Years Day the city fire
department went on a double platoon
system in compliance with state law
enacted at the 1921 session. The old
system, once universal, of "24 hours
on and then "a hours on," as the men
called it, has been changed to "a on
and "a off. All men in the depart
ment now have every second day off
duty The change necessitated add
ing six new men to the department.
-Four new men appointed by Chief
Kratz from the eligible list of the
city Fire and Police commission to
serve a probationary period of six
months are Walter Rozinski, Max
Kriter, Frank Kopidlansky and Claud
Bishop. Two other men who have
been probationers, Archie Fehring
and Carl SEEKER, were given regular
appointments and are now under the
civil service protection.
There are now twenty-six men in
the department divided between two
stations. They serve continuously
from 8 a. m. until the same time the
next morning with the succeeding
Cwenty-four hours Oft duty.

ICE HARVEST ON

The annual ice harvest on the Man
itowoc river began Monday. The
Spindler Company expects to have a
record harvest. They are cutting ice
not only for their own sale purposes
but are filling the ice houses of 9TH
ers on contract
The cutting is being done above
the 500 Line bridge near the Clay
Products Company's plant as the ice
further down stream is thin and un-
fit for use, probably because of the
constant stream of hot water run
ming into the river at the electric
plant of the Wisconsin Public service
company. This also will necessitate
long haul to the Spindler company's
ice-house instead of floating the cut
ice, a customary and cheaper method.
The good ice Monday was about
twelve inches thick.

SMALL POX AGAIN

The city and county have been hav-
ing genuine old fashioned session
with the "small" but luckily not with
the old fashioned kind of smallpox.
Last week several schools in the
county were closed and Monday an
order of the local Board of Health
went into effect barring from school
all unvaccinated pupils.
Announcement was made that all
applying would be vaccinated free at
the city hall, where health officer,
DR.. Max Staehle was kept busy for
several days at the work. Up to
Monday noon over 1900 people, most
ly school children had been vaccin-
ated at the city hall.
While there have lately been cpl
denies of the old virulent kind at
some place in the country, confined
the doctors say to localities where
vaccination has been neglected, the
disease hereabouts is the mild form
of the disease prevalent in recent
years.
The other usual winter diseases
are little more common than is usu-
al,

SHERIFF GETS THE COIN

Some time ago the delinquent in
come tax list was put into the hands
of Sheriff Charles Schuette for col
lection. He went at it with will.
The individual amounts ranged from
one cent to over four hundred dollars.
The people owing money received a
terrifying, official looking document
signed by the sheriff, and many must
have seen the state penitentiary
yawning to receive them as there was
a scramble to get to the sheriff's Of
flee and pay up. Non-residents were
traced from one place to another and
remittances came from every part of
America. One claim of $500 was
collected and turned over to Two
Rivers. The sheriff says he isn't
through but will collect every cent
collectible. To date over $4,000 has
been gathered in.

TO URGE WATER FREIGHT SERVICE

The Manitowoc delegation to at
tend the deep waterways conference
to meet at Madison on January Is on
call of Governor Blaine will ask the
conference to consider what can be
done in the matter of re-establishing
on the Great Lakes the package
freight service that existed before
the late war. Increased cost of op-
Grafton put out of commission a very
large part Of shipping devoted to that
service. The west shore of Lake
Michigan north of Milwaukee has had
virtually no service now for several
years although there are frequent ru-
mors of contemplated resumption of
the service by the Goodrich line and
of new imaginary fleets. Manitowoc
is vitality interested in this move
ment and the local delegation is pre-
pared to urge it. The local delega-
tion is composed of Mayor Gorgen-
son, Aldermen Wergen, Thompson
and Bouril and R. G. Plumb. The
mayor has also asked Mr.. c.. C. West
to attend as an expert on shipping.

BASKET BALL

After the local High School five
had led the Sheboygan school players
to the half 8 to z at the Orpheum last
Friday evening the visitors woke up
and won the game 20 to 13. The
Sheboygan boys fairly scintilated in
the second half and won because they
showed better basket ball.
Gauthier scored the whole 13
points the locals made, the team
seeming to depend on him to do the
shooting while on the Sheboygan side
every one tried for it.
In the curtain raiser the High sec
ond team defeated a Boy Scout team
called the "Derbies" 80 to 6.
The city team, the Kraemer's de-
feated the Matthewson Flowers of
Sheboygan at the Orpheum Saturday
evening 1922. At the half the
Kraemer's led 20 to 10. In the sec
ond half Anthem was hurt and during
the period substitute played the vis-
itors almost tied the score and AL
THEN came back in and the tide again
turned. This makes six straight vic
tories for the Kraemers.
In the preliminary the Kraemer
Specials and Mishicot played to a
25-25 tie. They started to play 5
minutes more but Manager Wits called
it off before the expiration of the
time when Mishicot was leading and
the extra time didn't count in the
score, leaving it a tie.

THE WILSON FOUNDATION

1t has been suggested that the $500
to be subscribed by Manitowoc county
to "The Woodrow Wilson Founda-
tion" be contributed promptly on
January 16 rather than throughout
prolonged Campaign" or "drive :"
contributed, in fact, during, if not
before "the Woodrow Wilson Hour"
beginning at noon on that date.
Already, America understands that
Woodrow Wilson was born mot for
an age but for all time" Already
the thoughtful world eomprehends
that the things he fought for and all
but died for are needed now more
than ever before for "the healing of
the nations"
Nothing so remarkable in the his
tory of peoples may be cited as the
steady ascendancy of Woodrow Will
sons ideas and ideals in the worlds
life. Since his retirement from the
White House his stature has height
ened and broadened, in public esti
nation, with each passing hour. Grip
pied though he be, and hemmed in at
his Washington home, his spirit still
lives and conquers in the blood of his
countrymen and Of mankind.
Like some mountain peak that be-
comes momentarily enveloped with
clouds, his figure arises more re-
splendent than ever before, now the
sun returns after the rain.
Storms that have beat about him
have dissipated their strength in fu-
tile effort to impair the permanence
of his achievements or the splendor
of his character
Everywhere the trend is toward the
cause of peace for which Woodrow
Wilson offered, and was eager to
give, "the last full measure of devo-
ton"
Behind this movement is no politi-
cal impulse, no partisan motive, no
selfish or sordid purpose.
''The Woodrow Wilson Foundation"
us basically humanitarian. 1t seeks
to avert righteous war and to in
sure righteous peace, and to do both
for all other lands as well as for
America.
1t is call to the minds and the
hearts of good men and of good wom-
en- everywhere.
There could be no more impressive
tribute to this man than the spontan-
eous voluntary contribution of the
fund for the Wilson foundation.

thus far, consists of the following
