laundry work, dry cleaning, press
ing and repairing. They have local
agents in towns in all parts of east
ern Iowa and do yearly business Of
$50 100000.
The Model Printery
is an establishment that carries the
name of Manchester, Iowa, all over the
United States, by reason of the mail
order printing business. They make
speciality of farm and stock print
ing and hotel stationery. One half
million envelopes and letter heads are
used yearly.
The POrter-YOung Co.
is one of Manchester's newest and
most promising industries. They are
manufacturers and distributors of hui
midifiers. Their humidifier is consid-
cred to be one of the best moisteners
for cigar cases that has ever been per-
fected. in fact there is no other which
is of real value. The officers of this
company are just completing the as
sembling of the dies and parts neces-
sary for the manufacture and it is ex-
pected to produce the first finished
machines for the market within the
next two or three weeks. Many whole
salers and jobbers are waiting for the
humidifiers and the outlook is bright
for a big business, furnishing employ
ment for large number of people.
The Manchester Creamery Co.
employs in the factory and IA men
hauling cream. 5,O27s293 pounds of
milk were bought from Delaware
County farmers last year, containing
2O6 ,27O pounds of butter fat. Milk is
bought of 172 patrons. Gross receipts
of the creamery last year were $S4,-
2S3.O4.
The Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry of Thorpe
serves SO customers Last year they
bought 3,395,697 pounds of milk for
which they paid Delaware County
farmers $45,945.O9.
There are a number Of other cream
cries in Delaware county doing
large business but we have been un-
able to get figures from them at this
time. We will publish facts as to
these creameries later.
Many people in Manchester are not
familiar with all the firms listed
above. Their products are just as
good or better than are manufactured
anywhere in the world. We should
buy Manchester made goods and help
build up our community.
Let us not forget also to patron
ize our home merchants. They have
goods just as cheap and just as good
as can be obtained. BY patronizing
them our money is left in Delaware
county to help to build up the county
instead of being sent away to help
some other city or community. Give
the home men trial first and give
them chance to satisfy you.

Give the fJad PLAY.

A writer in the New York Sun says
In regard to hosting the flag: Every
often the two ropes are secured quite
taut, whereas the lower corner of the
dag should be allowed to fly as far as
It will away from the pole. It is thus
1t floats readily with every zephyr, and
In q fair wind flaps merrily and has
a good time generally, while with a
lively breeze the bunting tries to soar
upward above the top of the pole. This
freedom Is particularly becoming for
Old Glory, which Is at his best In fight
Ing or playing In the winds and sun
light. On the contrary, when strapped
down with light cords he Is apt to wrap
himself about the staff, reminding one
Of an Old-fashioned stick Of checker
berry candy or q suburban BARRIERS
pole. Lately returned from the South,
I frequently noted flags floating from
diagonal cross sticks at the top of the
usual staff, with the result that the
banner is always Opened out" even
In a dead calm. 1t also flies prettily
In the wind, and you are never in
doubt as to whether the flag is still
there"

BEETLES MOST NUMEROUS
They ART. Adaptable Creatures, Being
Found Almost Everywhere on
Face of the Globe.

One of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed In the struggle
for existence. OF all creatures they
are by far the most numerous, no few
er than 10000 distinct species hay-
ing been dentifed-three times the
number of backboned animals.
Beetles are wonderfully adaptable.
They are found practically everywhere
in the frost-bound tracts Of Iceland
and In the hot desert sands of Africa I;
on the highest mountains, under the
ground, and as fossil, In the deepest
strata; on land and In water; on
plants, among stones and in wood and
earth. and even In the very craters of
volcanoes.
But there is one place where no
beetle has yet been found-it is the in
hospitable land of Spitzbergen, to the
north of Russia. Here are mammals,
birds. fish, mollusks, crustaceans,
few insects Of varied species and many
spiders, but not a single beetle

An Old Love Secret.

A youth or maiden pulls primrose
from Its stalk, and, after cutting off
the tops Of the stamens with pair Of
scissors, puts 1t In some secret place
where no human eye can see 1t. All
through that day the loved one must
be thought of, and dreamed of through
the night. Next day the flower is to be
taken from its hiding-place. If the
stamens are found to have shot out
to their former height, success In love
will attend the experimenter; If not,
disappointment will be his or her lot.

Fought Hard for Freedom.

In ancient and early medieval times
Khiva was part of the kingdom of
Bactria, Parthia and Persia in turn.
The great Genghis Khan overran it in
the year 1921 and 80 years later ii
fell beneath the ruthless sword of
TamerlaHe. AS early as the seven
teenth century the Cossacks had dis
covered the wealth of the province,
and in 1717 Peter the Great made an
unsuccessful effort to annex it. A
century and quarter later Car Mich
olas also attempted to conquer it, but
with no greater success. Finally, in
1873, three Russian columns were set
In motion with the design of squeez-
ing the country into submission. In
May of that year Khiva capitulated
and the khan agreed to pay a war In
demnity Of S11 100000, a debt which
is still being liquidated In annual in
stallments.-National Geographic So

will eat slowly, mssticate youI food

none at all for supper, you will more

Barbarous methods of treating sick

Of this country are described as fol-

Numerous cows in our neighbor-
hood have had holes bored In their
horns and tIIrpentine poured i'm. They
have had their tails split and salt and
pepper inserted, when all the poor
beasts needed was to have the vacancy
in their stomachs filled with nOurish-

among other crude remedies, turpen-
tine poured directly into the ears. Hog
diseases frequently appear I'm our COM
munity, and every sick hog Is sup
posed to have the cholera. Some peo-
pie pour coal oil into their hogs ears
as remedy for cholera, but / can
not see where the good comes from
irritating the delicate membranes in
side the head when the trouble lies in
another part Of the body.
Then when chickens begin to die
suddenly, cholera is again credited,

some people to stamp out the disease
is TO burn sick chicken alive.
