GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB.

A few weeks ago some Of the
Manchester business men started a
movement towards the organization
of golf and country club for this
city, and a committee consisting of
E. HI. Hoyt, Geo. w. Durham and
q. NJ. Hughes was delegated to un-
dertake the problem.
AS basis to work from they start
ed out to get twenty subscriptions
who would devote money and effort
towards such an organization. The
first official meeting of such sub
scribers was called at the First Ma
tional Bank the evening Of March
End and it was found that the fol-
lowing named twenty-nine men had
signified their willingness to do their
share:
E. w. Hoag, E. H. Hoyt, w. H.
Norris, A. R. LIE Roy, Don A. Preuss-
ner, e. M. Hughes, A. G, Philip, A.
J. Gildner, Burton Clark, Chas. j..
Seeds, H. l.. Ram, E. B. Stiles. Geo.
w. Durham, A. M. Cloud, w. H.
Hutchinson, A. w. Stearns, e. M
Carr, Chas. E. Cawley, M. J. Yor-
an, A. D. Brown, w. N. Wolcott w.
d. Hoyt, Jos. Hutchinson, T. Rooney.
H. M. Bradley, F. H. Arnold, Hubert
Carr and r W, Thrill,
AT this meeting eleven of the above
named subscribers were present and
as temporary organization, e H.
HOyt was elected chairman and Don
A. Preussner secretary to act until
the permanent organization Is per-
fected under bylaws,
1t was the unanimous decision of
those present that the management
of this club should be placed under
a board of governors of five and the
following men were elected to that
board. E. H. Hoyt (chairman), w.
H. Norris, Geo. w. Durham, w. N.
Wolcott, H. M. Bradley.
This board of governors is to act
as committee in all of the pre-
liminary arrangements and selecting
of a location, their action being sub
ject to the final approval Of the
members. S%%
A committee consisting of A. r.
LIE Roy. E. M. Carr and Charles Baum
gartner was appointed to draft by
laws and select name.
There seems to be a good oppor-
tunity and genuine demand for a
nice golf and country club in this
community and with the natural adj
vantages that we possess for a Ge-
sirable location it seems that we
should have as attractive country
club as any city in eastern Iowa.
A club of this character is one
Of the incest and most enjoyable
attractions that any community can
possess and offers recreation and
relaxation for those who don't have
the time and opportunity to travel
to the larger cities and will be en-
joyed by every member
1t should and will meet with the
hearty approval and cooperation of
every resident of Manchester and the
towns of Delaware
County.

IOWA SEEDS BEST FOR USE IN
IOWA.

If there is any thing in which the
practice of patronizing home industry
should particularly, be observed, it is
in the purchase Of seeds, according to
Prof. Bohumil Shimek head of the de-
partment of botany at the State Uni
versity. Without reference to the eth
zeal side Of the proposition it is a mis-
take to leave Iowa for seeds.
The trouble in buying seeds raised
in other parts at the country is that
they are not adapted to the Iowa eli
mate. Many people think that Minne-
sofa or Wisconsin seeds are ideal for
Iowa because they are accustomed to
cooler and shorter summers than
Iowa's. Many seed houses IN these
states have been supported almost en-
tirely by Iowa patronage. The fact
that the moisture is much greater in
those northern states is overlooked
and when these seeds are planted in
Iowa the plants fire in our hot sum-
nlers.
Similarly. seeds from dryer climates
where the summers are longer are not
adapted to Iowa climate, as was shown
some twenty-five years ago when
much seed corn was imported from
Kansas and Oklahoma after crop
failure in Iowa. In the thousands and
thousands of acres of corn from that
seed hardly a bushel matured fully in
the northern part of Iowa. This ap-
plies to garden seed, seed corn and
other grains, and fruit trees.
II know of no instance where Iowa
seed is not actually better for Iowa
than any imported Seed" Prof. Shin
elk declares.

property and another bill providing fol-
restoration Of reformatory for
women in connection with the prison
at Anamosa. There are only about
twenty women under restraint at the
prison and Senator Hale argues that II
will not justify the expenditure OF 9
couple of million dollars eventually to
accommodate such small number OF
people.
To Consolidate Inspection Service.
The retrenchment and reform COM
mittee has received suggestions re-
garding state departments which may
be profitably combined. The most i'm
portant recommendation was that all
inspection departments be combined
such as dairy and food, oil, hotel, fac
tory and mine inspection.
Taxicabs in Disrepute.
Cities contend that the greatest
enemy to law enforcement. is the dis
reputable use made of taxicabs. Lewd
women use these vehicles in escaping
the watchful eye of policemen, and
bootleggers transport customers to
some seclude spot outside of the jur-
isdiction of police and detectives. Beer
camps and places where dope may be
dispensed are supported largely by the
victims who appeal to the hack driver
or the taxicab to be transported to the
place of rendezvous. The driver, be it
said in passing, usually knows of such
places. Senator Lyle of Sioux City
has introduced bill authorizing cities
to pass ordinances forbidding the OPP
Grafton of resorts that IN the summer
season are under clump OF trees In
an out of the way place and furnishing
the driver Of any vehicle who trans
ports persons of either sex to such
places. At present there is no way to
suppress. such affairs by issuing in
functions because it is a condition
rather than location upon which
such deviltry is predicated.
Bank Measures Numerous.
There are more bills pending to re-
adjust banking tn Iowa than have been
introduced on any other one subject.
The bill establishing state banking
department separate from the state
auditors Office has passed both houses
and will become law as soon as 1t
receives the signature of the governor.
There is yet pending the O'Donnell
bill providing for guarantee of bank
deposits, and the Bruce bill which pro-
vides that all the laws and regulations
applying to savings banks shall also
apply to state banks with reference to
loans, deposits and the entire system
of banking.
Representative Gilbert of Marshall
county also presented banking bill.
New savings banks incorporated in
towns under 1000 population must
have $4,000 capital instead of $4,000,
and in towns from 1000 to 10000 the
requirement is raised from $4,000 to
$4,000. Still another bill placing pri-
vate banks under state control is being
evolved. 1t is stated that there are
over 300 applicants for the position of
state bank superintendent.

To be staged soon by local talent
in the Opera House, byNone hundred
an dffty local people.
A very elaborate home talent mu-
steal comedy entitled Delaware Coun-
ty Fair" will be staged Tuesday and
Wednesday, March goth and 21st, un-
der the auspices of the Kensington
Society Of the Congregational Church.
About one hundred and fifty of Man
chester's most talented people will be
seen in comedy and chorus work. The
County Fair will be burlesqued in
a most amusing fashion. All kinds
of characters will be seen coming and
going on the show grounds, bringing
their exhibits to the fair and Boss
Green, the Secretary of the AssOcia
ton will be on hand to announce the
horse races, bicycle races. balloon as
sentions. Uncle Josiah Perkins and
his wife, Sarah, will bring the prize
pumpkin to the fair. The old maids
will bring their quilts. the County Fair
band will play, and there will be
general excxitement.
Worked, through the character
sketches there will be beautiful
chorus of the young society girls,
supported by an equal number of
young men. who will sing the latest
songs of the day to fancy rhythmic
steps, There will be the beautiful
Hawaiian Girls, the Demure Quaker
Maidens, the Goddess of Liberty and
Patriotic Chorus, the Japanese Girls
from Yokohama, the Fluffy Ruffle
Girls and many beautiful choruses
too numerous to mention.
Carolyn Elinor Staley, who is
known all over the country as the
whirlwind directress, has been en-
gagged to direct this elaborate pro-
duction. Her success all over the
country has been wonderful and, no
doubt, with Manchester's talent, will
add another to her list Of successes.
Committees are now starting to
work. Rehearsals will start the first
of next week. Everything will be
rushed and nothing spared to make
this the most elaborate amateur pro-
duction ever witnessed in the city.
