FIX FAIR JATES

The County Fair board of directors
met Saturday, reelected the old Off
GERS and fixed the fair dates for 1922
at August 22 to 25 inclusive. The
Officers are: President, M. II. Demp-
sey; secretary, f. c. Borcherdt, Jr.;
treasurer, f. T. Zentner.
The four day fair has proved itself
and is adhered to. The success of the
night fair last year led to the retention
of that feature also.
Mr.. Borcherdt said that the plans
are to make the 1922 fair the biggest
thing the county has ever seen al
though the 1921 fair will be hard to
beat.
No action was taken in regard to
new buildings, although the matter of
tearing down the old race horse stalls
along the south fence has been dis
cussed
A ground control committee consist
ing of John Even, Fred Wilsman, and
+. A. Frederick was named. Appli-
cations for use of the grounds will
hereafter be made through Mr.. Wills
man.

STILL FIGHT ROEFFS' HILL

Petitions are in circulation asking
the school board and city council to
submit to the people the question of a
high school site. Opponents of the
Roeff's hill site have not quieted down.
The apparent coldness with which the
public received the proposal to build
the school on Truman hill, a stones
throw from the c. & N w. depot, has
shifted the scene. The latest proposal
is said to be the purchase of the block
bounded by Western avenue and
Wollmer, nth and 18th streets, west
Of the west side park.
Alderman Frank Drumm of the
Fifth Ward seems to be the leader of
the fight and it is reported that every
ward has been organized to try to de-
feat the site selected. There is prob
ably little chance of special election
for the purpose of voting on the ques-
ton but the movement may force the
submission to the people at the April
election when it can be referred at the
cost of printing few thousands of
ballots.

BASKET BALL

The kraemers, representing this city,
lost to the Mathewsons of Sheboygan
at Sheboygan last week The Chair
makers led 10 to 4 at the half time
and were never in danger finishing
with score of 32 to I6.
The Kraemers were handicapped by
the absence of their regular center,
Wilson. A strange floor and unvary-
ing bad luck contributed to make the
defeat a 2 to proposition. This
makes it one apiece for these teams,
each having won at home.
Manitowoc High School won from
the Menasha school five at Menasha
last Friday by a score of 27 to 10.
Menasha led at the half time 10 to 9,
but Manitowoc gained as they grew
familiar with their surroundings and
finished an easy winner. Jaeger,
heavier than Tadych, had been paired
off with Gauthier and the new COM
bination seemed to work vast inn
proyement Tadych will be an extra
men. The team was; Center, Schuette;
guards, Chermak and Genia; forwards.
Gauthier and Jaeger The boys think
they have a chance against the strong
Appleton team.
Saturday evening the Kraemers fair
ly smothercd the state Bank team of
Wausau. The locals could probably
have blanked the visitors il they had
worked for it, The score was some
thing like is to 10 when we got tired
counting. The visitors in the prelim-
mary game was even more one sided,
the W. c, team defeating Pekarskes
men i3 to 4.
The Grimms team defeated Maribel
90 to ~ last Friday evening. The
Maribel boys never had a chance. AT
the half time they were trailing 22 to
8. The winners lined up; Logan, Kir-
by, OConnel, Il. Fritch, and Thomas
Welch with Melvin Fritsch finishing
for Logan
Sunday night at Kellnersyille the
home team defeated Whitelaw lI to 20
The Kelnersyille boys led rs to 10 at
the half time and never needed to
worry over who would win.

BISHOP IN LECTURE

The lecturer at the monthly meeting
of the Catholic Women's Club of Man
itowoc Wednesday evening Of last
week was Right Rev. Paul p. Rhode,
Bishop of Green Bay. The main
theme was the dangers apparent in
the evil tendencies of the present time.
One of the trends which he thought
may grow into an unweldy machine of
oppression is the steady growth of re-
strictive legislation which more and
more attempts to control the habits
and private affairs of the individual.
The divorce evil, modern art, de
cadent literature, and drama were all
pictured as evils to be combated He
dwelt on the glories of this democratic
republic and the privilege of American
citizenship and urged the club to take
its proper place as a force in advanc-
ing all that makes for good morals,
education ana charity in the communi-
ty. The talk was typical of the schol-
arly talk given with an impressive, but
not oppressive, dignity indicating a
great reserve, for which the bishop is
noted. A fir sized audience was
present.

GROWTH OF POSTAL BUSINESS

Despite the business depression gen
cral throughout the country in 1921
the Manitowoc post office did busi-
ness during the year of almost $4,000
in excescs of the total for 1920. The
figures are more impressive when re-
duced to percentages as will be evil
dent from the fact that the receipts
of S86,099.56 in 1920 increased to
$136, $4,000 in 1921. The receipts in
1915 were S47,406.S3.
Statistics on other phases of the
business as shown by the annual sum
mary of the postmaster show gains
of like character in all the various
departments of the office.
Despite the growth of the business
during 1921, the request for addition
al help have not as yet received fa-
vorable decision of the daptrement.

PLUMB SPEAKS AT MADISON

II. g. Plumb, one of the delegates
from Manitowoc to the deep water
ways conference called by the gov
ernor made one of the principal ad-
dresses of the meeting yesterday.
Mr.. Plumb gave an outline OF The
possibilities of ocean ships on the great
lakes. He said that the new waterway
would permit seagoing ships of $500
tons to come to the great lakes ports
and that there are about l30,000,000
tons of such ships on the seas. This
would leave the local lakes transporta-
ton to lake steamers. He emphasized
the vast benefits to come to the middle
west from an outlet for seagoing car
rierS.
Reports are that the conference is a
success and will aid in putting over the
big project,

COUNTY PATIENT ESCAPED

S. A. Bloomer, a former locomotive
engineer, committed from here to the
state hospital at Winnebago some
months ago, escaped from the Sheboy-
gan county asylum yesterday and a
general alarm was sent out. Manito-
woe was particularly warned to be on
guard as reports were that Bloomer
had become violent and had threat
ened the lives of some Manitowoc peo-
pie, 1t was for that reason that he was
sent to Sheboygan instead of being re-
turned to the local asylum when he was
found to be incurable at the state in
Stitution.
1t was surmsed that he was headed
this way and the Mantowoc police
were keeping wary eye open yeSter-
day.
