K. OF C. PICNIC

The annual X. c. picnic was held at
Lincoln park Sunday. There was a
big crowd out with groups from vari-
our parts of the county. The picnick-
ers brought basket lunches and to the
delight of the youngsters ice-cream and
pop were free, gratis, fer nuthin."
Where some of the boys slowed it all
is a mystery. There were the usual
races, contests, tugs of war and a
grand match at horse shoe pitching
with Messrs. Ed Kelley and Gerl losing
ignominiously to Messrs. Hickey and
Mike Herman.
A press report that one faction
wanted Pete Miller to umpire the ball
game is base canard. No one was so
foolish. The picnic was grand sue
cess; one of the best the local council
has ever had.

PACK ALL BEANS HERE

All the string bean crop heretofore
packed at three plants of the Wiscon-
sin Gamers company is now being
canned at the local plant New equip
ment was installed here to handle the
extra burden and the beans are brought
here to the central canning station in
big trucks. The plants formerly op-
Grated at Two Rivers and Sheboygan
are virtually abandoned for this class
of work.
Until recently the beans were snip
ped by hundreds of workers at their
homes and brought back to the factory
The sight of theSes boxes on hand,
familiar up to a year ago, will he seen
no more The State Industrial com
mission ruled against doing any of
this work out of the factory, and the
company was not able to get the nee
cssary equipment for machine shipping
to furnish more than one plant, and
Manitowoc got the equipment.
Probably but few local people real
ize to what large industry the bean
packing work has grown.

COMIC POLICE SERVICE

A fellow named Arnold, as slippery
as his namesake Benedict, was wanted
here for making off with mOrtgaged
automobile. The police at Ashland
landed both Arnold and the car, and
Chief Trochlell sent Patrolman Tou-
chek up there to escort both back to
this city. The local cop got to the
police station at Ashland just after the
police there had let Arnold go on a
5000 cash bond. He then hurried to
the garage, but Arnold had beat him
to it. He had gone on another tour,
leaving the police holding the 5000.
Chief Trochlell wired Touchek to bring
the 5000 back with him before Arnold
came and took it away from the Ash
land police.

SHANTY ROW TO GO

Many people reioiced last week when
they learned that the Board of Public
Works had directed that a new side
walk be built on the section of Eighth
street from the Elks Club to Quay
street The plank walk there, not to
mention the structures, that strangely
enough are still referred to as "im-
provementS," are a relic of civil war
days, and an eye sore in the heart of
the city. 1t developed later that the
Manitou Realty company, said to he
largely the Lindstedt-IIoffman com
pany, have definite plans to erect a
building on the site that will be a
credit to the city. They gave the
Board of Public Works assurances that
work would begin early in the spring
and the Board will not enforce its de
mand for a new sidewalk now. The
public were so pleased to learn of the
contemplated building that the matter
of the immediate building of sidewalk
became a matter of less concern.
The Lindstedt-H Hoffman interests ac-
quired the property from the Luep's
heirs about three years ago, with the
plan of immediate building. The pres
ent estimates are for building costing
about Sl75,00O.

TO HAVE FREIGHT SERVICE

Local shippers have received assur-
anccs of regular lake freight service
next season. The Hill transportation
company has purchased three wooden
steamers built at Sturgeon Bay for the
T.. 5. government during the war
They are I5O feet long but will be
heightened before next spring aud fit
ted for the package freight business.
They will be put in the freight service
from Chicago to Marnette
1t is said that Goodrich service will
be resumed September first when the
passenger business will begin to wane,
and it is not improbable that there
will be regular all season Goodrich ser
vice all next season If it SO develops
it may make It hard for the Hill boats
to operate. 1t is not likely that there
win be competing lines, because Of
lack Of wharfage and warehouse facill-
ties, not to mention other things

TAKE OFF TRAINS

The long drawn out railway shop
mems strike has finally affected Mani
towoc train service. The C & n. W.
train which arrives from Green Bay at
noon and the train which leaves here
for Green Bay at 4:26 in the after
noon have been discontinued. Both of
these trains run between Manitowoc
and Eland junction through Green
Bay.
The diScontinuance of these trains
is a blow to Manitowoc. People from
the stations between here and Green
Bay cannot come here and 90 back by
rail the same day.
Shoppers along the line can get to
Green Bay and back but if they come
here they will be compelled to stay
over night, if they depend on rail SER
vice.
This service would he tolerable only
in the strike emergency

OUTDOOR RADIO PROGRAM

Their was an open air radio concert
advertised for last Thursday evening
in the city. The outfit was carried on
an automobile and the concert was on
a down town street. 1t was an adver-
tising stunt for the automobile and an
engineering school. A surprisingly
large crowd gathered but nearly all left
when after repeated attempts but little
could be hooked out of the air because
of unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
They got part of lecture and part of
some concert numbers, but after nine
o'clock, when most of the auditors had
departed they got to going better
The operators had better success in
the afternoon at Two Rivers.

landed on the concrete walk.

OILED THE PAVEMENT

Some driver lost barrel of lubri-
eating oil at the corner of Eighth and
Huron streets last week. The barrel
spread and he never paused to try to
gather up the oil. 1t fabricated the
asphalt in fine shape as county motor
policeman Braun can testify. When
his motorcycle hit it he gave a vaude-
vile act fit for the "big time" and
mopped up about half barrel with
his khaki suit. The street commission
er soaked up with sand the part that
Braun left. Some economically mind
ed motorist lost the chance of life
time

be given portion of the time and good
topical and socialized work will be eX-
pected of the older pupils. The boys
and girls must learn to organize their
material well for oral and written com
position. Frequent snort tests are to
be given to pupils t. aid them to
organize their thoughts quickly and
give the main points of the subject
under discussion.
Perhaps more is expected of good
country school teacher than of other
teachers 1t is absolutely impossible to
teach school in Manitowoc County with
one hand and attempt to carry on
another business or heavy social
program with the other, but the type
of people found in many Manitowoc
County schools are in the profession
because they are interested in the work
and see great opportunities for real
service
A list of the teachers who attended
the institute will be published next
week
AT an associate meeting just before
noon on Wednesday the following res
olution was adopted:
Whereas the Divine Providence has
taken from US our co-worker, ArnC
Schmeiser, therefore be it resolved boy
the teachers Of Manitowoc County as
sembled at the annual institute that y,
deeply deplore his untimely death
He was a man Of high principles anC
strong character whose leadership was
an inspiration to all people with whom
he worked
He was devoted to his profession anc
greatly beloved by his pupils
AS co-worker we always found hin
ready and willing to promote the true
educational interests Of the county
BY his death the teachers and pupil,
have lost devoted friend and helper
and the general public an efficient lead
er and true citizen.
Be it further resolved that copy oi
this resolution be published in tn,
School Bulletin and local papers and i
copy be sent to the bereayed family.

THE COUNTY FAIR

The Manitowoc County Fair, bigger
and better than ever the managers as
sure the public, will be held next week
beginning Tuesday, and the people of
the county and cities should make ar
rangements to attend. The Fair is al
ways worth seeing and its attractions
are so varied that the young and the
old may find something to entertain
or instruct. There will be a creditable
display of livestock, agricultural prod
ncts and other substantial features OF
an exhibition of the kind and it will
not be lacking either in attractions.
The Fair is thoroughly deserving of
the patronage of the people of the
county. As an institution it is ac-
complishing much good and it has
great possibilities. The better the
patronage this season the better will be
the fair of next year. 1t is desirable
that the institution shall grow; that it
shall have new features; that it shall
have better displayS-in short that IL
shall become bigger and better with
every added year of its existence.
The county fair that is well sustain
ed is factor for progress 1t can and
should be made a powerful factor for
rural betterment and rural prosperity.
And the fair is of great Importance to
Manitowoc 1t brings in thousands OF
visitors from over the county and from
outside the county. If the people ap-
preciate the benefit the fair has been
to the city they can show their appre-
citation in no better way than by help
ing to swell the attendance.

BY letter this morning from VIM.
W. Warner, of Carlton, Kewaunee Co.,
Wis, we learn that there is large
amount of threshing to he done in
that immediate neighbOrhood and no
suitable machine in that locality to do
it, and suggest that should any man in
this county, having good steam
thresher, go into that locality he might
contract with nearly all the farmers
in the section, if he could promise good
work and commence by the :irst of
September. AS we have plenty OF
threshers in this county, why would it
not he well for some one to look to
that section
