The Woodrow Wilson
Foundation

Karl Mathie, Wausau, Wisconsin
chairman of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation, has announced that the
national free-will Offering to provide
the endowment of Sl,OOO,OOO will be-
gin in this and other states on Jan. l6.
Wisconsin has always proudly occu-
pied prominent place at the front in
all great national undertakings
launched for better America and its
people will throw themselves whole
heartedly into this movement, because
it is designed to perpetuate the former
prsdent's ideals of democracy and
human freedom.
Mr. Mat :, in his announcement
fixing the da,S for the opening of the
undertaking, in part says:
THE national free-will Offering to-
ward an endowment of SI,OOO,OOO or
more to provide, through the Wood
row Wilson Foundation, periodic
awards for 'meritorious service to de-
mocracH public welfare, liberal
thought or peace through Justice is
to begin in Wisconsin and throughout
the union Jan. l6. Practically every
state is organized and ready for the
opening day of subscriptions-taking.
Each state has been divided into
districts with men and women ap-
pontees accepting the responsibility
of taking care of the campaign in their
localities. Hundreds of friends of the
former administration, friends of the
broad idealism which Mr. Wilson be-
spoke Democrats, Independents and
Republicans alike, have become parties
to this movement to establish in
America awards somewhat akin to
Nobel Prizes"
There is nothing of the old-time
drive" about this campaign. The
men and women who are working for
its success in Wisconsin feel that such
an appeal will not be necessary, and
that not only the states quota of $751;
600 viii be raised quickly but that it
will be oyer-subscribed by voluntary
support.

vOLSTEADIzED new YEARS

For the first time probably in many
years there was not one person to say
"Good morning, Judge" in Municipal
court after the New Years celebra-
ton The police said it was an abso-
lutely dry New Years eve last Satur-
day night, but then the police don't
know everything, and probably don't
tell all they do know. Anyway. it
was quiet compared to the old days
before the war. We refer to the recent
misunderstanding between Germany
and the rest of the world. At the vari-
Gus places of amusement there was
considerable talking from the hip
but nothing that required official in
tervention.
The Elks put on a big celebration
with over 800 present. A team of pro-
fessonal entertainers was present and
there were stunts, the usual dancing
and community singing.
There was a good time at the
twenty-fourth annual military ball put
on by Company c. The crowd was
orderly despite the big attendance.
The firing squad welcomed 1922 with
a volley.
There were groups all over town
who in private gatherings watched the
old year expire. Some of them drew
on the precious dwindling supply of
the lawful real stuff to give a sem
blance to old times while, reports have
it, that not a few served refreshments
brewed, distilled or fermented in
fragrant violation of the justly famous
amendment, but there were no public
symptoms of either. All in all New
Years has been fairly well dealcohol-
lied.

We had the pleasure of being one
among a party of ten couple (all
young folks, none over so allowed to
go) who enjoyed pleasant sleigh
ride to Clark'S Mills, on Tuesday last,
where we were entertained in the
most Sociable and hospitable manner
by Mr.. and Mrs. Ira Clark. The party
sat down to an excellent dinner at
O'Clock, which was enjoyed by all with
particular zest Among the good
things of the dessert we tasted as fine
favored apples as we ever ate, raised
on Mr.. Clark's farm. After dinner,
visiting commenced in the good old
fashioned way; also the improvements
made within the last four or five years
in that section were discussed. And
when, as we supposed, the party were
about to start for home, we were in
formed by Mrs. Clark that she had oys-
ters cooking, of which they must par
take, before going, which, with be-
coming modesty, was agreed to, and
ample justice done the supper, after
which the party concluded to stay a
part of the evening at least, which we
did, starting for home about 8 O'Clock
p. IN, All seemed to have enjoyed
themselves, none more than ourself

BASKET BALL

The local city team, the Kroemers,
beat the crack B'Gosh team of Osh-
kosh, 2S to 2G New Years eve at the
Orpheum after losing the first half, IL
to g. The boys seemed to be unduly
impressed by the visitors in the first
half, but went at it in the second
period as if they had overcome their
uncalled for reverence and noscd out
the victory. The local team was made
up with Wilson of Green Bay centeri
Bazal and Althien, forwards, and Han
son and Schroeder, guards.
The Kraemer Specials played the
preliminary game against team of
the Manitowoc club at the University
of Wisconsin. The boys are home for
the holidays and four of the five play
ing are on the University freshmen
basketball squad at Madison The stu
dents were entirely outclassed The
Specials won 27 to 4, "off by them
selves"

Hard to Ward of Lightning.

There are II thousand pet ayersions
and precautions against being struck
by lightning which cause the scientific
man to smile. The man who wears
rubber to lnsulate himself may be
keeping his feet dry, but he is not
wardlng off lightning any more than
the old magician who burned pinch
of magic powder TO drive the devils
away. Against charge that can
break down so poor conductor as
air and use II for mile or more, what
can avail a quarter Of an inch Of fab
ric under foot? And even If he were
insulated. what difference would II
make II the 5,000,000,o00 volts, more
or less, were ordained to strike theref
Apparently, the man who puts down
bis umbrella and takes wettlng In
| the hope of escaping d shock Is max
Ing an unnecessary sacrifice Of him
self.

LEGION BOXING BOUTS

The boxing bouts planned by the
American Legion post were pulled off
as scheduled at the Orpheum last week.
Two local noyices, Jimmy White and
Kid Meyers, lightweights, went pretty
evenly for four rounds in the opener.
They failed away so tremendously in
the first round that they didn't get
their wind back till near the close.
In the second bout Jack Zwick Of
Kaukauna applied an anesthetic to
Harry Albright of Sheboygan in the
second round, after having put Al
bright to the floor cleanly in the first
session.
In the semi-windup Joe Druskin, of
Two Rivers, and Joe Dempsey of Mil
waukee welters, went five rounds 1t
was the best battle of the evening
Druskn shows big Improvement over
last season. He has the wallop and
should get along if he sticks at the
game. A draw would be fair.
The big bout between Vnuk and
Freddie Brick, middle weights, was
disappointing. The valorous "Red"
Vnuk who was heretofore relentless
aggressor, went to Milwaukee lately
for some coaching, and his new tactics
of crouching, waiting and covering did
not make a hit with the fans. The pair,
who mixed necessarily the last time
they met, fox trotted around and hid
themselves, till the fans began to get
restless. For only one short session in
the first eight rounds, did Nnuk accept
Bricks constant challenge and mix it.
1t went the ten rounds. Neither was
hurt and Brick was clearly entitled to
decision for aggressiyeness.
Walter Houlihan of Milwaukee was
referee and Tom Brennan served as
announcer.
1t was a financial success.

BOY MISSING

Alvin Manlick, a IA year old local
boy, has been missing since Dec. IA.
On that day he was about the Chicago
and Northwestern railroad yards and
it was thought that he probably had
gone west with a shipment of cattle
that left that day for Idaho. The men
in charge now report that they put
him off the train At the Calumet yards
here before the train left, and gave
him dollar and half. What became
of the lad is a mystery, but there is no
suspicion that he met with a fatal ac-
cident, as on the day he left he seemed
to be bent on seeing come considerable
part of the county. He will probably
turn up some day,

CAR LEAVES ROAD

A touring car driven by Gilbert
Vogel of Cleveland, left the road near
st. Wendell last Thursday night. 1t
tore through fifty feet of barb wire
and turned over imprisoning the driver
and Edna Belitz, school teacher, who
was with him. A Sheboygan man dis
covered the overturned car ten or fif-
teen minutes after the accident and
summoning help from farm house
got tie victims out. Miss Belitz was
hurt but slightly but Vogel was taken
to the Mantowoc hospital. 1t was al
first thought that he was seriously in
iured but it developed that he viii
soon be about. The car was badly
wrecked,

The question has been asked several
times as to whether a bond is required
of a person living outside of the two
mile limit who transports his own chill
dren and neighbours children to school
The following is a clear statement Of
the facts as received from the Office of
the State Superintendent of Schools on
December 30th, 1921
In cases where transportation has
not been authorized by the electors of
the district, but the parents are trans
porting their children Individually, the
| fact that a man takes one or more Of
| his neighbor's children in addition to his
own does not make it necessary for him
to furnish bond to the district. The
transaction is not between himself and
the school board but is a neighborhood
arrangement in compliance with individ-
ual transportation as authorized in sec
tion 40. l6 if the other legal require
ments on this kind of transportation
would come within meaning of the law.
Transportation may be voted upon at a
special meeting provided six days not
ice has been given and at least three
fourths of the voters in the district have
been personally notified or notice left at
their home. The person hired by the
school board for general transportation
must furnish bond in the sum of $500
running to the district and must give
sureties in double that amount for the
faithful performance Of his duties The
form of bond may be found in Form No,
81 in the back of the school code, edition
of 1919
Two members Of the Collins School
Board recently visited school spending
the entire day there. This is an excel
lent example for members of other
school boards. These men know what
kind of teaching is being done in their
school.

Teachers and pupils are asked to crit
icize carefully funnies and jokes before
they allow them to run in their school
papers. Good fun livens up the work
and brightens the paper, We have
however, an unfortunate surplus of
slang and vulgarities without putting a
premium upon them by placing them
in our school publications. We have
received a number Of excellent little
school papers this fall. We are always
glad to receive them
Will teachers inform us upon the
number Of Christmas seals sold
The Kiel School reported about IL, 900
seals sold some time before Christmas
This is an excellent record that shows
that time and energy was not spared in
this good cause.

CIRCUIT COURT

There are forty-fve cases listed on
the calendar for the January term of
the circuit court which opens next
Tuesday There is only one criminal
case, a matter involving a violation of
the game laws, coming over from the
last proceeding term.
There are two cases against the
local street railway company. Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Helsinger each sue the
company for damages for injuries al
legged to have been caused to Mrs.
EIelsinger from the company's alleged
negligence in starting a car premature
ly when the lady was alighting.
Paul Fricke has an action against
Charles and George Klinker arising
from an automobile collision, in which
Fricke lost a leg.
Albert Zenk, on behalf of his son
Calvin is suing Frank Stanzel and
wife for injuries the boy suffered by
being hit by the Stanzel automobile
while riding bicycle.
Mrs. Minnie Carr is suing local
physician for $4,000 for alleged NAL
practice.
George Brothers company are su-
ing the contractors who built the
Capitol theater, and the surety on their
bond, an eastern surety company. The
action is to compel the bonding com
pany to pay off all the subcontractors
who have filed liens, the owners claim
ing that the principal contractors have
been paid, or rendered the entire
contract price While apparently a
complicated affair it seems to reSulve
itself into merely dispute as to the
proper compensation to be paid to
the main contractors for the extras
and alterations made during the
progress of the work. All the many
lien claimants have been made parties
defendant.
There is the usual grist of actions
carried over from last term and di-
vorce actions.

WANT PLATING WORKS

Edmonton, Alberta, and Hamilton,
Ontario, have both made overtures to
the Manitowoc Plating works to es-
tablsh plants in those cities. Canadian
men were greatly interested in the
plants exhibit at Chicago and assure
Manager Wachowitz that there Is big
field for his work in their neighbor-
hoods. Mr.. Wachowitz is reported as
saying that the matter is being given
serious attention, but that no matter
what the decision is it will not affect
the local plant which has been con-
stantly increasing its output.

In Rashult in SmaIand Sweden, what
little chance he had in life as a boy
he threw away. "Unhandy at every

wrote his critics Yet in the fields alone

studied botany in crude way, and
seven years later was joyfully hailed
as the greatest botanist of his age.
