WOODROW WILSON FOUNDATION

This foundation, or fund, has been
created by public subscription in recog-
milton of the distinguished services of
Woodrow Wilson, twice president of
the United States, who, throughout his
administrations led the liberal forces
of the world toward international con-
cord, cooperation and goodwill. 1t
is dedicated in perpetuity to signaliz-
ing and popularizing, by awards made
from time to time out of its income,
meritorious services to democracy,
public welfare, liberal thought, and
peace through justice.
Manitowoc county has contributed to
the fund the full portion thereof al
lotted to it by the state committee, as
appears by the following letter recent
ly addressed by the chairman to the
members of the county committee, and
through them to the public:
TO the Members of the Manitowoc
County Committee:
Gentlemen: | am sending out this
letter as a sort of final report to the
committee, and, through the commit
tee, to the public, of what has been
done by Manitowoc county to promote
the success of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation.
The matter has been allowed to oc-
cupy considerable time because dona-
tons continued to come in. A little
more than $4,000 has been received,
mostly in dollar subscriptions, al
though quite good many have con-
sisted of much smaller sums. The
whole of the $4,000 assigned to our
county could have been at any time
filed up and the money RENTED. 1t
was thought best, nevertheless, to give
plenty of time and gather in as much
as possible through small, popular and
voluntary donations. Request has been
forwarded from headquarters, how
ever, to close up our accounts during
the month of April and accordingly I
am asking all of the members of the
committee who have not yet reported
and turned over their collections, to do
so either during this or next week. Re-
mittance should be made to NJ. H.
Dempsey (care of the National bank) +,
as he is treasurer of the committee.
| am sure no one who has donated to
the fund will ever regret it, and | am
inclined to believe that good many
others would be glad to contribute if
they knew that the opportunity to do
SO is now drawing to a close. As soon
as all the members of the committee
have reported and cashed in the bal
ance will be made up by certain gen
tlemen who have agreed to guarantee
the balance, whatever it might be, and
then the full quota will be RENTED to
the state treasurer of the fund, without
any deduction for postage, clerk hire
or other expense incurred by the com
mittee. All such expenses have also
been guaranteed along with the unreal
lied balance. Every gift will go into
the fund in full without diminution for
any purpose whatsoever.
Thanking each and all of you for
your hearty and efficient cooperation,
| am, Very sincerely yours,
l.. J. NASH,
Chairman, County Committee

j, n. Kayanaugh, Brown County
Agricultural Agent, writes the follow
ing regarding the future of the pure
bred industry:
Before buying pure bred cattle it
is perhaps well to consider the invest
ment from the following three stand
points,
First, is the country over supplied
with pure breds?
Second, will there be an increased
demand for them in the next few
years?
Third, are the prices of pure breds
at their lowest point or will they go
lower?
''fn answer to the first question as
to whether the country is over supplied
with pure breds, we will take Wiscon-
sin as an example, as this is the lead
ing dairy state Of the Union. Accord
ing to the latest figures available there
are Ill,O05 pure we'd dairy cattle in
the state Accort e to these figures
only As per cent re pure breds, the
other 95.5 per cent being grades and
scrubs. If this is the situation in Wis
consin, the much touted dairy state,
what must be the percentage of pure
breds in the Union? We will find from
the latest that about per cent of the
cattle of the Union are pure breds and
the other 9S per cent are grades and
scrubs. Yet some people think that the
country is oyerrun with pure breds
when the surface of the pure bred in
dustry, in reality, is only scratched.
Regarding the second question,
"Will there be an increase for pure
breds within the next few years, it is
only necessary to state that last year
over 100000 cows, sold from April LIST,
1921, to April LIST, 1922, were cows that
the college assisted in selling. We have
no record of the animals of whics. they
have no knowledge. Most of the cat
tie sold were high grades. When these
buyers learn to feed and care for high
grades they will be in the mark ct for
pure breds.
GLOW about question No. 3, Are the
prices of pure breds at their low point
or will they 60 lower?' The price of
pure breds have reached their low
point and are already on the upward
trend. These 100000 dairy cows sold
from Wisconsin are being replaced and
most Of them are being replaced with
pure breds. Money invested in good
pure bred stock now will pay greater
dividends than at any other time in
the history of pure breds. Babson's
Statistical Bureau, whose advice the
shrewdest and most successful business
men in the country follow in making
investments, predicts rapid advances in
prices of pure bred cattle within the
next year
summarizing these facts we can
come to but one conclusion, namely.
Now is the time to buy pure bred
dairy cattle and this section of Wis
consin is the place to buy them.'''

LODGINGS HAVE STOPPED AND
 THERE'S A REASON

The general public doesn't know all that Las been done since the law enforcement move- ment was started in Birmingham, but it is quietly getting results. There hasn't been flogging since the mass meeting was held at the Bijou theatre and Birmingham's citizens announced that they would no longer tolerate violence.
 Even if nothing more were being done. agi- tation would have salutary effect. The criminal element is more or less in the dark, but 1t no longer feels that men and women can be whipped and other outrages committed with impunity. It has an idea that forces are at work which will make such acts dam gerous, and in that surmise the criminal ele- ment is eminently correct.
 A city is lawless or well behaved according to the attitude of it's citizens. Indifference to the public welfare is often reflected in the attitude of public servants, and when crim- nals think nobody cares particularly what they do, except their immediate victims, they are going to take advantage of their opportuni- ties.
 Once let public sentiment become aroused and there is greater vigilance maintaining der, and lawbreakers are less inclined to com init crimes when they fear that punishment will be speedy and certain.

GOOD TARIFF EXCHANGED
 FOR A BAD ONE

The country had a good tariff law framed by democratic Congress. It suited the masses but not special privilege, which has finally suc- ceeded in enacting tariff law that repub- licans themselves regard with grave misgivings. Severe criticism comes from the maker of the tariff for revenue only which the tariff for protection is about to displace. Senator Oscar Underwood says it will add to 'the burden of every consumer in America" Of equal weight is his other objection that it will constitute practical blockade against importations at time when Europe is without money. This will tend to produce trade stagnation. Senator Underwood stresses the fact that America de- pends on Europe to consume it's surplus pro- duction.
 This measure will be worse than former pro- tective tariffs because America is larger pro- ducer than it has ever been before and has a larger surplus to dispose of to other nations.

WORLD FILM MARKETS

From the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
 Recent reports that Germany aspires to cap ture the international film business should not be taken too lightly by the American moving picture industry. As the competition stands now, this country has much the best of it, but there is no guarantee that America will per- manently retain this hold. European interests are beginning to realize that this is profitable industry and naturally want to "get in on it. :" The fact that foreign competition is waking up should be the signal for renewed efforts to tighten Americas grip on the business 1t en- joys and for further expansions It is said 85 per cent of the pictures shown in England are of American manufacture, but the British trade is conducting propaganda campaign against our offerings which in time, as they improve their own, may have the effect of cut ting in on American releases.
 Those who have studied the situation abroad say England is not to be feared, however, so much as Germany. Germany's industry is more advanced than is Engand's, and the cheapness of labor and 'supers, make it possible to film elaborate settings at minimum cost. We have seen enough of German science, art and te- nacty to know an effort will be made to pro-
 
 spect, while it may be expected that the Ger man trade leaders will be practical enough to cater to local demands. In fact it seems that this is their chief strategy
 While we are flooding markets with what England calls the "Americanese type," the Ger mans are working on theory that colorings should be made to please the consuming local ity or be international rather than German in appeal. That illustrates their shrewdness. Who, outside of that country wants to be fed on German sentiment, German plots and Ger man ways? We would grow weary of such a repast just as other countries are bound to re- bel in time against too much of the American ese." The only way permanently to retain q trade is to satisfy your customers and this ap- plies to the international film business Ger many's competition is not yet dangerous nor will it ever be as long American producers continue as pace-makers and hold the inside track. Quantity production alone will not suf- flee.

HEATING SYSTEM FOR GROVES

c. R. Baldwin, in Popular Mechanics.
 Frost prevention is an ever-present problem with the orange growers of California A de- pendable system of frost prevention would be of immense value to them.
 Recently such a system has been developed which shows great promise. The plant con- sists of central heating furnace. Oil is fed under pressure from supply tank to the burners by small motor. A 30-horse power motor is attached to a blower which draws the air into the heating chamber and forces it out through the distributing pipes. These pipes are of concrete, varying in size from 10 inches at the furnace down to inches at the point of delivery. Vertical galvanized pipes with distributing caps deliver stream of hot air directly under each group of four trees. The temperature of the air at the point of delivery is approximately 400 degrees Fahren- het, and dampers control the amount of ain delivered. The inventor claims that his equip ment can displace the cold air in an orchard with warm air to height of 10 feet in about 15 minutes.

OPTIMISTIC BIRMINGHAM

"Birmingham breathes optimism,' said Dr.. J. s. Thomas, director of extension of the University of Alabama, who was in Birming- ham yesterday. ssThe very spirit of the city is one of confidence, enthusiasm and progress, and any outsider who sets his foot Birming- mingham soil--beg pardon, pavement-cannot help absorbing the feeling of cheerfuness with which the atmosphere is saturated.
 "The spirit that is prevalent in every other activity in Birmingham is also gratifyingly present in the university campaign cause, and it is my feeling that Birmingham will more than be there when the last accounting is made. If every other community in the state rallies with the same enthusiasm that has character ized every phase of the program in ts city, the unbounded success of the campaign is assured aHthe outset"

THE ONE ART CENTER

q have about decided to move to New York so as not be in the vortex of the art world in America,' said Robert J. Malone of Balti- more, former Birmingham man. Since l have developed a maiden market for my pen and ink sketches I see that New York is the great emporium for this and everything else in the world of art, and hence will reside there so as to be close to the various pub fishing houses and other purveyors of art.
 q have been deeply appreciative of the favorable comments made on my caricature, cartoons and pen and ink portrait sketches by old friends in Birmingham and have been stimulated to my best efforts I glad to be able to say to my friends that l have been great encouraged by some of the very best critics and most circumspect publishers in New York to more ambitious efforts, and hope to make good on the confidence of my old friends and those of my family"
