IMPORTANT INCREASE IN FARM
PRODUCTS.

Considerably over two million more tons Of
farm products were produced in Poland during
1921 than in 1920 according to statistics printed
in a recent issue of Kurjer Poranny Of Warsaw
Similar important headway made in the
production of coal, the 1921 total aggregating
100000 tons, 95 per cent of the pte.war
production in Poland. excluding Upper Siesia
In 1919 Poland had 3,l27 locomotives and
46,S12 railroad BY the end of 1921 these
figures had increased to 1895 locomotives and
96.391 cars. This increase in rolling stock, ac
companed as 1t was by improved rail condi.
tions, made II possible to increase the amount
OF merchandise handled by the railways over
90 per cent as compared with 1920 and 13l

The Rapid GrOUth Of
4 Suffrage Idea
BY BILL PRICE.

BY BILL PRICE.
The Woman's City Club is one of the first of
Washlngtons large civic organizations to adopt the
suggestion of this writer that the word "Voteless''
be placed upon all stationery before in connection
with the word 'Washington," as catchy method
OF mpressing the country with the fact that nearly
half million people in the National Capital are
denied the right to VOTE while representatives of
America in the Philippines and Porto Rico preach
to those people that the exercise of suffrage is
fundamental part of freedom.
That word upon the letter heads and en-
velopes of the Woman's City Club is already begin
ming to bear fruit, evidenced by this brief edi-

BAD CHURCH FIRE

St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran
church at Newtonburg, "Teitgen's" on
the Green Bay road, or miles from
the city, was destroyed by fire Sunday
morning. The parsonage nearby was
in grave danger for while and was
saved only by the energetic work of
the neighbOrs.
The teacher, b. J. Hohenstein, built
fire in the hot air furnace in the
church early Sunday morning and re-
turning about o'clock found the in
terior ablaze. 1t probably started
from overheating of the furnace.
When the fire spent itself there was
nothing but the charred brick walls
The loss was about $4,000 with $1,000
insurance. 1t will probably be rebuilt
at once.
The church replaced an old frame
structure in 1883 costing then SS00O
1t was built during the pastorate of
Reverend Strube. The present pastor
is Rev. Carl Toepel who has been in
charge for years. The congregation
numbers about 90 families and has 1l5
voting members.

COLD SNAP

The government weather prophets,
who threatened us last week with an
approaching cold snap, made good.
The mercury took a tumble Saturday
and the local government instruments
showed low point of ii below zero
Saturday night 1t never crawled
above below on Sunday and Monday
morning the low record was IA below.
OF course, there were many thermom-
eters about town showing more severe
temperatures and one can make an
enemy as easily by doubling the veraci-
ty of the average mans thermometer
as by aspersions on his character. 1t
was the coolest weather of the winter
and the citizen sighed as he fed the
costly black diamonds into the rapa-
cious nav of the furnace and wished
he lived at San Diego, or Miami.
During Monday night the tempera-
ture dropped to Is below, the coldest
point recorded in a three-year period
1t got as high as zero Tuesday, but
Sagged back Tuesday night. 1t chang
ed during the night and Wednesday
morning mercury was at zero.

SAL WALTON ARMY DRIVE

Last Thursday and Friday were tag
days for the Salvation Army Wednes-
day evening the workers gathered at
dinner at the Elks club and the details
of the work were explained c. Y.
Shaefer, field secretary of the army,
was present and explained the needs
of the organization, Captain Marks,
the new captain in charge here, gave
brief talk.
Chairman of the drive, S. X. Fergu-
son, presided. There was some fine
music with community singing led by
Miss Ferguson. There was a vocal
duet by Miss Loretta Dusold and Gene
We've Vraney and Miss Vraney made
her debut in solo work in rendering
of "My Noble Knights" that brought
generous applause and showed a most
promising vocal artist in the making.
The workers had followed the war
time methods of allotment cards and
the eighty workers covered the city
like a swarm of locusts.
The report of the first day showed
$l7O0 collected on the allotments and
the high school girls who acted as
taggers on Saturday added Sl65 to the
total. These figures are not complete.

REGISTER OF DEEDS REPORT

The annual report of the register of
deeds shows that Mantowoc county
will surely, if slowly, increase in popu-
lation with no accretions from the out
side. The number of deaths in the
county in 1921 was 600 while births in
the same period were LAO. There were
457 marriages.
There are also detailed figures of the
business of the registers Office among
which appears Mortgages recorded o.
500, deeds recorded 1854, corporations
organized 80, notices of lis pendenS 81,
final DEGREES 81, chattel mortgages 6,
farm names recorded 10, other papers
$50.
This shows a fairly busy year, but it
is considerably less than during the
war boom in real estate of few years
ago.
The proportion of mortgages also re-
fleets the business depression and
slump in agricultural prosperity.

FREIGHT CAR THEFTS

Special Agent" meaning detective,
Morgan of the c. & n. W. railway re-
ported Tuesday that thefts from
freight cars at the local yards continue.
He said that the latter part of last
week 2l pairs of shoes were stolen
from a box car at the Calumet yards.
The shoes were of a high quality.
There is a peculiar difficulty in captur-
ing freight car thieves due to the large
territory over which cars stand on yard
tracks and the unprotected location
outside the city of large parts of the
yards, and the case with which cars
can be entered. The police rounded
up some boys a few weeks ago on
charges of depredations of this kind
but nothing could be proved against
them. The present series of raids is
evidently the work of amateurs.

IN MUNICIPAL COURT

A street car motorman swore out a
warrant against the driver of the in
terurban bus last Saturday, alleging
that the bus had passed the street car
at the c. & N. w. depot while the
street car was discharging passengers.
The bus man pleaded not guilty and
the matter was set for trial for Jan
uary 81.
Two young men, named Beth and
Russell, came from Chicago Saturday
to visit relatives at Two Rivers and
spent the night here. Before leaving
home they purchased three pints of
perfectly good booze" from a stranger
in billiard hall and they each toted
some on the hip to a dance at the
Orpheum here Saturday night. Beth
struck up an acquaintance with Off
Ger Denor and evidently being ac-
customed to the ways of Chicago po-
lice offered the cop a drink. Both
pleaded guilty to chipping" and as
they are young married men and made
a clean breast of their offense and
were evidently contrite they were let
off with fine and lecture.

Green Bay, who was to have been the
speaker at the Monday dinner of the
local Rotary club this week was unable
to get out of Green Bay because of
the weather and his appearance was
postponed. The club enjoyed a mu-
sical program featured by singing by
Miss Mary Gilmore, accompanied by
Marie Mulholland on the piano and
Rev. w. j. Luby on the cello. Father
Luby and Miss Gilmore, who is his
cousin, Chicago girl, also sang two
duets. The clergyman'S musical at
tainments came as a surprise to some
of the members.

tive, gave a review of the accomplish
ments and aims of the scout work in
the city.

The continued good sleighing with
which we have been favored has en-
abled our farmers and others to bring
in their winter produce, Our docks
are now crowded with ties, wood, etc,
awaiting the opening of navigation,
and gives promise of a most active
business season. The Appleton g. New
London Railway will soon be employed
in bringing to our port for shipment
the products of the rich country
through which ii passes. Our harbor
is now open, and has been during the
winter steamers running regularly be-
tween this port and Milwaukee and
several small sail vessels have been
making regular trips. Our merchants
have never had so favorable prospects
as the present, and Judging from the
above facts, Manitowoc will soon be
formidable rival to her sister cities

CIRCUIT COURT

The case of NJ. Kellner & Sons
against the local street railway for
damages for injury to a motor truck
struck by a street car last summer,
went to the jury last Thursday noon.
They returned a verdict finding that
the street car company was negligent
and fixing the damages at S465.50, but
they also found that negligence of the
Kellner driver contributed and if the
court lets this stand the Kellner COM
pany can recover nothing.
The next case was Swoboda against
Jack Blivas. 1t was tried in municipal
court where Swoboda was given a
judgment If SlS2.4l and costs. II

on the Calumet road between Browns
Corners and Silver Lake and each side
claims the other fellow was on the
wrong side of the road.

lowed to S90.7l, the jury in circuit

day for nineteen days use of the car
which was allowed in the lower court

CITY COUNCIL NOTES

s The city council met in special Ses-
sion Tuesday evening. The main pur-
pose seems to have been to act on ex-
tending tax paying time and it was
duly extended from Feb. / to March J.,
not however without some protests.
The resolution creating four or five
coasting zones on the streets adopted
week ago was rescinded, after the
city attorney had explained the danger
of city liability for accidents in ex-
pressly authorizing and inviting such
use of the streets.
1t took over a half hour of discus
sion before the council could bring it
self to vote to take the joy out of the
kids lives, but the general idea was
for the youngster to police the cross
ings themselves and take their own
chances.
A notice was received that govern
ment war motor trucks are being al
loted to municipalities for road work
and the city will investigate.
The council went into executive Ses-
sion, the proceedings of which were so
secret that the discussion appeared in
the papers last night.
1t was reported that the aldermen
are nearly a unit in a purpose not to
adopt any ordinance which will drive
the motor buses off the streets The
attempt to get the jitney lines and the
street railway to agree on a compro-
mise ordinance was futile, and the SEN
timent seemed to be to let the two
fight it out themselves No action was
taken on the pending ordinance, but it
will probably gather dust in a commit
tee pigeon hole.
