Still more exciting is the race for
the Pacific Coast League pennant, as a
result of yesterdays games.
Oakland and Portland were the
contributing factors yesterday, for the
Oaks trimmed the. Seals a SECOND time
this week and the Beavers very ac-
eommodatingly, thank you, lost out
again a second time, yesterday to the
Angels. "a n IL .s...
with only three, more playing days
left to wind up the Coast League year,
the race is probably the closest eve:
seen this side of the Rocky Mountains.
The regulation windup is scheduled for
next Sunday, Still, there are nun Der
of postponed and tied games to be
played and SOME Of these may be re.
quired before a final decision is ar
rived at to declare the winner Of the
bunting. : -.srs ,tte
The spectacular game yesterday was
staged between the. Oaks and the Seals
on the grounds of the former. 1t took
ten innings to decide the contest, Oak
land emerging the victor of the day
by the score of one to zero. This was
the closest game of the week and Oak

"Sinee the food commission is in

"This combine controls the price of

SOMETHING FOR MANCHESTER
TO CONSIDER.

The point that Waterloo people
should give the money to the Red
Cross instead of shooting it off in
fireworks this year is we'll taken. 1t
is not time for wastefulness, but
time. for conservation of all the re-
sources of the country. A celebra-
ton that would have cost $4,000
few, years. ago, with fireworks up as
today, would cost about $4,000. There
should be little question in anybody's
mind, after careful consideration.
that Waterloo should show it's patriot
ism this day in very different way.
We tried to raise money awhile ago
to aid the families of our soldier boys
and we had quite difficult time do
ing it. Now some of us want to raise
all the way from $4,000 to $4,000 to
spend in a burst of so-called patriot
ism on the Fourth of July. Our SOL
der boys families, some of them,
could use that money to good advant-
age, our Red Cross could use it to
excellent advantage. We might use it
in plowing up and seeding vacant
property. Granting the money could
be raised, why waste it?-Waterloo

MANCHEsTER's PREPAREDNESS.

+ The Commercial club at its meeting
on Monday evening, took definite
steps to provide for community
garden as aSmatter of preparedness
for next winters food supply.
The plan adopted by unanimous
vote of the fifty. members present,
should be followed by CONNER
cial clubs or like organizations,
Throughout the state. The "Manches-
ter Idea, starts out. with five acres
Of ground lust outside of the city
limits on the Hawkeye Highway, to
be planted to potatoes and other food
crops that may be conserved through
the winter. The crop is to be planted
and cared for by the. members Of the
club, as. a service which they owe to
the country and is to be wholly voIun-
tary on the part Of the members. It
seems to us that the enterprise
should be financed by a special sub
scription, payable in either money or

NOTED WRESTLER ADDRESSES
SCHOOL BOYS.

Through the efforts of our Conser-
vation League Frank Gotch was secur-
ed on last Tuesday to address the boys
of the Public and Parochial schools.
All who heard his brief talk were
unanimous in saying that it was one of
the most effective talks that could
haze been delivered to any group Of
growing boys. A mortal Of physical
strength and manliness himself he
could talk with authority on the sub
ject of clean living and the evil ef-
feet of any stimulant. He stated that
nature had provided man with
enough stimulant to build up strong
body and that it was not necessary to
secure any from outside.
Mr.. Gotch made the effect Of alco-
hol and tobacco stimulants the key
note of his address and referred to
their effects a great number of times
in such manner that it was impress
sed upon every boy and man in the
ROOM
The schools owe debt of gratitude
to Mr.. Gotch for his advice and to the
Conservation League for securing his
service.

TWO CANDIDATES FOR AUDITOR

The board of supervisors met on
Saturday to appoint successor to Z.
H. Bunker, resigned. They considered
the names of two candidates-deputy
auditor, Robt Fishel, and B. J.
Matthews. We understand the super
visors expressed their preference as
follows: Swindell and Clute for Mr..
Matthews and Mead for Mr.. Fishel 1t
was desired by the members OF the
board to have the choice made by
unanimous vote and failing to reach
an agreement no appointment was
made. The board will meet again in
the near future to further consider the
matter.
AS to the candidates Mr.. Fishel has
been very obliging deputy. He Is an
agreeable young man and whether he
is capable of filling the position or not
and whether he possesses the mature
Judgment necessary, the members OF
the board are amply able to judge by
reason of their close association with
him since he has been in office. In
Mr.. Matthews they have offered he
services of we'll equipped man. He
is q capable accountant and a man OF
fidelity and integrity. With the possi-
BILE exception of Mr.. Fishel we know
OF no one whose services are available
who would make a, more acceptable
man for the office.

A FALSE REPORT

Reports gained circulation here
last week to the effect that Harold
Malven, sWho recently enlisted in the
regular armyseand is in training at
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, had died as a
result of an operation for abcess.
This report was based on letters ad-
dressed to the boy being returned to
the senders. One Of these letters was
marked deceased and the other
died" With these notations on the re-
turned letters titiis not strange that
this report should gain circulation.

FUNNIEST CLOWNS ON EARTH ARE
WITH THE YANKEE ROBIN
SON SHOWS.

A good circus makes all the world
akin-at least that portion of human
ity within the reach of any big cir
Gus. 1t always will be as long as hu-
man nature is human nature.
A boy never forgets his first cir
cus-neither does girl forget it. 1t
is one of the mile-stones that mark
the altogether too fleeting years OF
childhood's career Of innocent and
harmless pleasure. What would cir
Gus be without band? What would
it be without clown?
The circus clown dates his origin
back in the beginning Of the circus
itself and from time immemOrial he
has been one of the most important
features. During the growth and de-
velopment he has by no means been
left behind. He is funnier now and
can do more tricks than ever before.
In the old days one clown sufficed to
satisfy the demand for the showgoers
but now it takes twenty-five for
Yankee Robinson's Shows.
The acrobatic work is only a small
part of a clowns performance. There
is scarcely a humorous phase Of, life
which the clowns do not touch or a
heroic feature which they do not bur-
lesque. This always delights the
crowd, for one Of the things which
pleases an American audience is to
see some one ridiculed
1t is the rough and tumble and ap-
parently furiously abusive acts,
knocks and slaps Of the clown that
invariably create the MOST laughter,
The more they kick, pound and beat
and club each tehvreor -Pvbgkq VII
each other over the head, face and
back, the more pleasing it seems to be.
Yankee Robinson has been one of
the best circuses on the road for
years, but what would its vast array
of circus talent amount to if it were
not for the tireless work Of the fun
ny fellows?" The presence of the
clowns is essential. The burlesque
clowns the rube clowns, the short
Short clowns, the tall clowns, the wo-
men clowns! a contingent of more
than twenty-five are with this big
show.
Without the clown, the petite, pref
ty equestrian could hot have his brief
visit, the acrobats could not get their
second breath, and the musicians
could not catch a moments rest.
All the clowns will be in Manches-
ter with the big shows on Friday,
May 11th.

IRREGULARITIES found
IN AUDITORS Office
SHORTAGE AMOUNTS TO OVER
$4,000 EXAMINERS MAKE
DISCOVERY.
AUDITOR RESIGNS HIS POSITION
Disclosures Of Auditors Affairs Comes
As Profound Shock to Friends
of Mr.. Bunker.

With the filing of the report of the
state examiners last week the accounts
OF the county auditor were found to
be short in cash $3,1s6.73. The board
Of supervisors Immediately demanded
Of Auditor Bunker that the shortage
be made good and that he tender his
resignation. Mr.. Bunker has resigned
and we are informed that practically
all of the money has been returned to
the county.
For several weeks there have been
rumors afloat that Irregularities exist
ed in the Auditors affairs and atten-
tion was again focused upon the office
when state examiners, J. D. Isriael and
H. A. Hansen began an examination a
short time ago. Under the law the
examiners are forbidden to disclose the
results Of their work before the filing
of their report and nothing authora-
tive was known until the report of the
examiners approved by Chief Clerk
Joseph Wall of the State Auditors Of
flee was filed last Friday disclosing
the state of affairs referred to above.
The report showed the shortage was
