Mrs Chase will have charge of this work,
which is to be conducted under the auspices of

cooking programs are made up of everyday,
conrnon-sense menus and recipes which any
housewife will find interesting and valuable in
these strenuous war times.

MRS. C. II. CRUISE.
(By Earlville Correspondent


Mrs Carrie Merry Cruise died at
her home in Earlville after an ex-
tended period of illness of more than
a year. Carrie Merry was born in
Cuyahoga county, Ohio, March goth,
1850 and departed this life at her
home in Earlville October 18th, 1917,
being at the time of her death 81
years, months and % days. She
came with her parents to Delaware
county, Iowa, in October, 1856, in an
immigrant wagon, and this county
has since been her home. She was
educated in this county and was a
teacher in the public schools for a few
years. On September 29, 1868, she
was united in marriage to Mr.. c. H.
Cruise of Almoral, Iowa, and to this
union ten children were born, six of
whom survive, as follows: Mrs.
Mary Baskerville, of this county; Mrs.
Nellie Faust, of Almoral; Mrs. Car
rie Derr and Harry, of Earlville; Mrs.
Jessie Davey of Greeley, and Howard
P. of Milo township. One brother,
Henry Merry, OF Hartley, Iowa, and
27 grandchildren and one great grand
child.
Mrs. Cruise was brought under
Christian influence and she and her
husband united with the Congrega-
tional church at Almoral October 13,
1876, and has remained a faithful
Christian with a firm faith in her
Savior, always anxious to help in the
good works of the church, which she
loved. Her health began to fail about
a year ago and through all her de-
cline, she has been faithful and pa
tient unto the end. Her body was
laid to rest in Fairview cemetery be-
side those of her loved ones gone be-
fore. The funeral was conducted by
Rev. A. Winfield Virgins and was held
at the Congregational church Mon
day afternoon and was very largely
attended by relatives from Manches-
ter and friends were present from
throughout the county, for when a
truly good woman like Mrs. Cruise is
called the community loses one who
will ever be missed.

1t will be seen from the foregoing
that our city council has the power to
fix rates and correct all abuses; and,
what is more, the courts hold that the
action of a city, in exercising these
powers, is presumed to be correct. The
company must comply with the city's
finding or prove that the city's rates
are not remunerative.
Some say that the company would
take the city into court. That might
be true, but it will cost the company
more to engage in that kind of liti-
cation than it Will the City Of Man

that every lawyer in Manchester would
work for the city without compensa-
ton If reasonably assured that the city
was striving to deal justly in the pre-
misses.

Constitutional AMENDMENT
May Be LOST BY few Votes
TION PROVES SURPRISE-STRENGTH OF "WETS"
UNDEREsTIMATED-"DRYs"D DISAPPOINTED

It may take the official canvass to
determine the result of the election
Monday on the Prohibition Amend
ment to the State Constitution. The
vote was very close and present in
dications point to majority of less
than thousand either way. There
have been so many conflicting fore
casts given out in Des Moines today
that it is impossible to determine the
result. Secretary of State Allen in a
telephone conversation this morning
said that the result would not be
known until Thursday noon at the
earliest
The first reports pointed to victory
for the dry side by majority, much
smaller than was expected. AS the
returns came in the vets showed un-
expected gains and it is possible that
the count will show that the amend
ment has been defeated,
That the vote was close at all is a
surprise to most everyone. 1t was gem
orally expected that the amendment
would be adopted by vote Of at least
two to one. But with old Delaware
County voting wet, what can be ex-
pected of the rest of the state. This
county has been apparently contented-
ly dry for thirty years and yet gave
a majority of 1872 against the amend
ment in total vote Of 1854. The
vote was very close in several pre-
cincts, tie votes being recorded in
three. .

this early in the season in northeast
ern Iowa Early Friday evening it be-
came evident that growing vegetation
would be nipped hard, and on Saturday
morning the ground was frozen to a

from bank to bank. Even the oldest
resident in Manchester believes that
the freeze on Friday night broke all
former records. The thermometer on

eighteen degrees above zero.

Senator William S. Kenyon delivered
IN address to an audience that
crowded the Central Opera House to
its capacity on Monday night of this
week. In his address the Senator
dwelt largely upon the conditions
which brought this country into the
war, and the problems confronting it
now. Senator Kenyon had been in
Iowa several weeks in the interests
Of the prohibitory amendment, and
came to this city under the auspices
Of the Manchester Commercial Club
and the County Council of Defense
In closing his address Senator Ken
yon urged the people of the county to
subscribe to the Second Liberty Loan,
and in this way support the govern
ment in this gigantic contest. Senator
Kenyon said that the government has
to have the necessary funds to carry
\ on the war to successful conclusion,
and II the people do not loan their
money in the form of Government
Bonds, the money will be raised in the
form OF taxation, with no interest and
principal back. At the conclusion of
the address subscriptions to Liberty
Loans were signed up to the amount
Of approximately $4,000.
1t affords The Democrat much pleas
ure in being able to give tt. its read
ers who possibly had not heard of
Senator Kenyon's appearance in the
city, the address in full this week. In
order to do this we are obliged to
omit many items of a purely local ma
ture. We urge our readers who did
not hear the Senator on Monday even
ing to read his address, which is as
follows:
l talk to you tonight with somewhat
OF husky voice. ! have been speak
ing out OF doors for the last week,
trying to help keep Iowa dry I have
about ruined my bylaws at it and i'm
paired my constitution, but l. really
do not care much about my own con-
stitution If we could end the prohibi-
tion question by getting prohibition
into the constitution Of our state, and
Iace.tainly hope we have done it.
/ always like to come to Manchester
and talk to the Manchester people,
and the people of Delaware county.
It is matter Of regret that we are
kept SO close at Washington in these
strenuous times that one can not get
away very often and come out and
mingle with the people whom he is
trying in a humble way to represent.
That voice Of mine sounds as If I had
been roofing today. I would have
liked to have been roofing for the
White Sox, and you know the thing
that pleases me is that it took an Iowa
boy to pitch the White Sox to VIC
tory. Coming away from long siren
uous session Of congress, l feel like
saving Just a word for that much
abused institution. The people find
a good deal of fault with congress.
Congress is a good deal like life
when man is alive we don't present
him with any bouquets generally, but
when he dies we always bring the
flowers and put upon his grave, and
now that congress is officially dead it
is receiving all kinds Of flowers. The
president has endorsed its work; the
vice president; the newspapers OF the
country pretty generally. You find
fault with congress because it is slow
Hasty legislation Is seldom the best
