SCHOOL BOARD MEETING

The city board Of education met IN
regular session last Thursday evening
and dispatched q lot of routine busi-
ness. 1t was reported that the founda-
tion Of the new high school on Rocirs
hill is about completed and that work
on the first story will be begun at once.
Every effort is being made to have the
school ready for occupancy for the be
ginning of the school year in Scptcm-
her, 1923, as it seems certain that in
default of that the school will he re-
qurcd to open with half day sessions.
Although the school opened with
large attendance on September 8, q
large number Of children will not at
tend until the bean picking season is
over and this fact renders II impossible
to effect proper organization in some
grades at some of the schools

garage of few years ago.
The opening was made quite an occa-

the other garages of the city. During

thing occurred, but Kricg knew it had
happened, all right, ms his car was
badly damaged with both uXlcs twist
ed. Later in the evening the Benson
ear took a notion to smash up Ford
south Of the city and this time suffered
Il broken front wheel smashed Tenders
and running board and other damage,

HOTEL ASSURED

1t was announced this week with a
tone of certainty that carried assur-
ance that Manitowoc is really to have
a large modern hotel and that CON
struction work will be started very
soon.
The report has it that the selection
of site lies between three or four
locations, all available.
If the work has progressed to the
points indicated it has been done very
quietly and by persons who do not
need to go far in financing the project.
1t is to be hoped that all this is true
as Manitowoc surely does need a new
modern hotel. 1t is also to be hoped
that it will be located at a conspicuous
place on the main street and not
showed away ON a cross street because
of less original expense for a site.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

We have been hearing considerable
profane language used by those gen
tlemen who have to traverse Sixth
street, to and from their daily voca-
tions, about the condition of the side
walks on that street They say that
they are being built on each alternate
lot on both sides of the street SO that
they have to cross about twenty times
in going three blocks in order to take
advantage of the planks. They ask us
to suggest to the street commissioners
that the sidewalks he built on one side
or the other continuously. The ladies
seem just as earnest in their protest,
but do not use quite as fOrcible Ian
guage, but are sufficiently demon
stratiyc to convince us that if we own
ed or occupied lot on that street, we
should build a sidewalk as soon as pos
sible, in order to avoid any little un-
pleasantneSs in that quarter.

The fourth annual fair of the Mani
towoc County Agricultural society was
held on the grounds of the society on
Thursday and Friday of last week If
the receipts are a criterion of success
this exhibition bears a marked con
traSt with former exhibitions. There
was a marked scarcity of farm prod
uctS, yet what was exhibited has
scarcely ever been excelled in the
county. The exhibition of samples of
potatoes was good, in fact, could not
be eXcelled. In the stock department
there was a good show, but was not
up to what the county can show if our
farmers would only have the pluck to
bring them forward. Mr.. James Tau
Cher, of the town of Liberty, had on
exhibition thorough bred shOrt-horn
Durham white bull; weight | $50 lbs,
26 months old Last year at the
county fair he weighed 1918; calved
June 25, 1870; bred by \. KerShaw,
Wine, Du Page county, Illinois. H.
Mulholland of Meeme had a pen of his
celebrated hogs, which attracted uni
versal attention. There were also sew
eral pens of choice sheep, and some
choice stations and brood mares John
O'TIearn of Maple Grove, had on exhi-
tion the handsomest specimen of horse
flesh we have ever Seen it was a filly
only one year old.
The exhibition of fruits were better
than last year, though not as good as
might have been had producers taken
an interest in the fair. In the fine art
and fancy worI, department there was
good show

An Old Indian Legend

Wande -sha (Gray Eagle was old,
very old; he was the camp teller Of
STORIES" rich with the legends of
many nations. Here is one he told
about the sun:
1.-The sun IS the medicine father
and the moon is his wife. while the
stars are their children. Every day
he must travel the old trail to see
that all is well with the world, and
when he is hungry he catches one OF
his children and eats it.
"They all live in long cave I'M
der the world; so narrow that they
can not turn around and SO must
crawl through.
when the sun has covered the
trail he crawls in the hole to sleep.
and the moon and their children
creep out of the other end and follow
in safety the trail the sun has left.
for he can not turn around but must
sleep and then go through the cave.
when he has eaten many children
the moons heart is sad. and she
blackens her face and mourns. so for
some days you can not see her; but

for the sum of S51.44 for gasoline, oil
and accessories which Page had used
for his car. Page claimed that he
thought the repairs should be made by
Bowman free of charge since he bought
the car from him. He therefore filed
claim Of $3s which he said was for 80
days misuse of his car by Bowman at
dollar a day. He did not protest at
the balance of the Bowman bill. There
were only two witnesses, both princi-
pals testifying in their own behalf.
The court took the matter under con-
sideration and will give the verdict at
the close Of the session.
The next case was that of Stevens
vs.. Prouty. the parties being represent
ed by Lawyers Peacock and Backing
