cow TESTING CAMPAIGN

County Agent Smith has embarked
on a campaign to organize in ManitO-
voc county more COW testing associa-
tions than there are in any county in
America. Mishicot has the honor of

twenty-seven herds were signed up.
There was put in force a fat annual
rate of S2l and $3.50 for acids. j.
Kappelman was engaged to do the test
ing and he will begin the work Feb
ruary l. There are about 800 head of
cattle in the herds.
Officers of the association are
George Barthels, president; Arthur
Bleser, ecretary-treasurer; Charles
Kornelly, and Oscar Samz, directors.
The tester will spend one day each
month with each herd.
The county agent was present at the

ton. He is determined to achieve his

THEFT REPAYS KINDNESS

As an act of charity Frank Linder
put tramp tailor to work in his shop
the other day. The fellow worked for
day or two. Saturday he did an
extra careful job on a suit of clothes
which customer was anxious to get
Sunday he went to the shop and fin
ished the suit, put it on, took another
high grade suit of the proper fit and
vanished from the picture. He was
fair enough to leave on the floor in
exchange the suit he had been wearing
the last two or three years.
The proprietor's thoughts Monday
morning about charity to impecunious
transients were hardly fit for utter
ance.
The police sent out call and the
fellow was picked up at Green Bay. He
has gone under several names and has
served time at the Wisconsin and indi-
ana state prisons and has police rec
ord otherwise. The two suits taken
were recovered and Mr.. Hardy, his lat
est name, will have to climb back into
his discarded raiment.

and gave a talk on the aims and ideals
of the organization.

BLIND MAN IN TRAP

Joseph Langenkamp although him
self sghtless has long been one of the
sights of ManitowOc as he passed about
the streets in the pursuit of his pro-
fession of tuner of musical instruments.
He was notable for the fact that a
stranger would never suspect his afflic-
tiOn from his demeanor. He walks the
streets with quick, confident step and
up to last week it was years since his
blindness had caused him injury. His
gravest danger is the sidewalk trap
door and he walked into one of these
last Thursday in front of the Simon
millinery on South Eighth street. The
door halves were up to perpendicular
on both the north and south sides
Mr.. Langenkamp ran against the
south door and fell across the open
space striking his face on the opposite
upright door He was taken to a ply
hician's where it was seen at once that
he was not badly hurt.
No one who knew him saw him ap-
proach the door and others would
never suspect his danger. In this CON
nection why are such doors open on a
sidewalk and left unguarded2

DOG ATTACKS BOY

Robert Wensing, aged five years,
was coming home from the Gar
field stnool kindergarten last Friday
noon when he was attacked by saw
age dog which bit to the bone and
badly lacerated the lads left leg. A
physician was called and the wounds
were quite painful.
In other days this paper, upon this
incident, would have carried wither-
ing blast at the barbaric custom of
harboring child eating brutes, at the
city that permits them to roam un-
muzzled and at citizens who encourage
the senseless practice. We have the
same Indignation but a city is blessed
with an inspired pen, such as that one,
not oftener than once a century

FIRE IN SHOE STORE

There was quite serious fire last
Thursday morning in the shoe store of
Houfek and Londsorf occupying part
of the "Blue Ribbon" premises on
Washington street between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets.
Matt Zingsheim, owner of the build
ing, awoke early in the morning
to find the building full of
smoke. The fire department soon
had the blaze subdued but consider
able amount of damage estimated at
over $500 had been done. 1t was
caught just in time as the big frame
structure would soon have furnished a
lurid sight. The origin of the fire is
being investigated.

The Wisconsin Teachers Association
is organizing local units in city and
country schools who will send delegates
to a representative assembly which will
conduct the business of the Organiza-
ton in the future. The local groups
will also appoint committees to keep
the public in touch with the work of
the schools. Wisconsin teachers see
it as part of their work to make the
public schools truly public.
The representative assembly can
handle the business Of the state teach
ers more expeditiouSly than could the
general meeting and on a more dem
ocratic basis. 1t is believed that by
organizing local groups, professional
spirit will be fostered and the best in
terests of the schools promoted, just
as doctors and lawyers associations
have resulted in higher standards in
the profession for the good of the com
munity.

POLISH BOYS GO HOME

The ten Polish boys brought to the
local orphans home as part of much
larger number brought from Siberia
some time ago where they were war
refugees left last week on their long
journey to their home in Poland. The
ten left here in charge of the Mother
Superior of the home. The boys will
join other groups at Milwaukee, Chi
cago, and other places en- route.
They were sent into Siberia in war
time and came to America by way of
the Pacific, as they are going home
eastward the youngsters will be regular
globe trotters when they get home.
Then ten boys who were here wished
to have expressed their gratitude for
the many kindnesses which were shown
to them in this city.

EDUCATIONAL.
(Ry LILLIAN L. CHLoUPEKj

The meeting of the teachers of the
Railroad Section held at Reedsville
last Saturday was very well attended.
The names of those who attended will
be published in the Bulletin. Besides
the teachers of the Railroad Section,
many teachers of other sections were
present About thirty interested peo-
pie of ReedSyille also attended All
the numbers of the program were car
ried out. Special mention should be
made of an excellent reading given by
Mrs. BusSe of Reedsvlle and of the
music by the Reedsville High School
Orchestra and Glee Club. Many of
the young people of Reedsville owe
their musical training to the fact that
their desires for such training was
created through the High School Or
chestra
Miss Alice Brady gave two excellent
talks. The forenoon talk was on
practical Projects for Country
Schools and the afternoon talk was on
"The Community and the Teacher" At
the close of the program, the county
superintendent of schools gave a short
talk bringing out the fundamentals in
the elementary educational training of
country boys and girls. This talk was
responded to by Principal Kluth, Miss
Meany, Mrs. Busse, Mrs. O'Rourk, and
Others

TRAINING SCHOOL CONTRACTS LEI

At a meeting of the county board
committee last Friday contracts were
awarded for the erection of the County
Teachers Training school. Work will
be started as early as possible and hur-
ried to completion. In all probability
the school will be ready for occupancy
when the school year begins in the
fall of 1922.
The heating contract which caused
some trouble was finally awarded to a
Wausau concern. The general con-
tract, a $45,075 matter, went to Frank
Nemetz of Maribel Wiring went to
Schmitz Electric company while the
Patterson Plumbing company drew the
plumbing job on their bid of $3,S49.
The total comes to $59,l79 which is
fairly good figuring considering that
the county board set the maximum at
100000.

North Eleventh street, Friday night
Mrs. Schuber was 81 years of age and
was born in Melnik, Bohemia. She
came to America and to ManitOwoc
county in 1855, settling at Kossuth,
where shortly after her arrival she was
married to Mr.. Schuber, who preceded
her in death fourteen years ago. The
couple resided on a farm in Kossuth
until thirty years ago when they sold
and came to the city to make their
home. Since the death of the husband
she has made her home with her only
daughter, Mrs. Stupecky.
The funeral was held Sunday after
noon from the home on North Eleventh

THE WILSON FUND

With the close of the Wilson Found
alton campaign last Thursday, Chair
man l.. j. Nash estimated that Manito-
woe county has subscribed over half
of its $500 quota.
Many requests were received by the
chairman from committee men for an
extension of time for their sections.
Many sections from which nothing has
been reported are known to have made
fair contributions. Final figures will
not be obtainable for a week or two.
Preparations are being made, it is un-
derstood, to carry on protracted work,
if necessary, until the county's full
quota is reached.

NUMBER 81
BASKET BALL

The high school FIVE won its first
home game of the season when it took
Shawano High School to the half, 10
to 4, and carried them trailing under
the wire 26 to 6.
In the first five minutes neither side
scored and then Gauthier started the
scoring, and who would win was never
in doubt after that. The local team
was Schuette, center; Gauthier and
Coma, forwards; Chermak, Jaeger,
Tadych, guards. The boys all played
good basketball but the big score was
partly due to the fact that the first
string men on the Shawano squad we're
divided between Manitowoc and Ocon-
to Falls. Three of the first team were
here but all will be home when Man
itowoc goes up to Shawano.
In the preliminary the Lutheran
Mems club defeated the High second
team 20 to 10.

PHYSICIANS MEET

The Manitowoc County Medical So
ciety was guest of the sisters at the
hospital at a dinner last Thursday eve
ming following which the society held
its annual meeting.
At the meeting the necessity of en-
largng the hospital was discussed in
formally and while no definite action
was taken the matter was not dropped.
1t was the unanimous opinion that the
facilities are wholly inadequate. The
hospital for a year has been taxed to
capacity and in the event of additional
demand of material size upon it seri-
GUS situation might arise. The prob
lem will probably be tackled this
spring.
DR.. A. M. Farrell was reelected
president of the county medics. DR.
f. Gates is vice-president and DR.. V
Kellner secretary-treasurer A censor
ship board was appointed composed OF
Drs. A. j. Shmek, w. A. Donohue and
f. S. Luhmann.

BUS LINE QUITS

The troublesome problem of regulat-
ing bus competition with the street car
line, at least so far as interurban traf-
fic is concerned, solved itself this week
when Carl Attic, the bus owner, abon-
doned the local field and left for Du-
luth with his vehicle. He set out from
here to drive the bus TO Duluth and
seemed confident of getting through. II
the stories of deep snow in northern
Wisconsin are 80 per cent true we
would rather ride by rail. The River
view buses will probably be ignored by
the street car company, as the inter
urban competition seemed to bother II
more.
