REPORT OF MEETING OF PARENT.
TEACHER ASSOCIATION.

At a largely attended and enthusias-
tic meeting of the Parent-Teacher as
sociation Monday afternoon the ques-
ton of High school social activities
was discussed in full detail. The
problems of the class were ably pre-
sented by Mrs. Oscar Dorman aud
Miss Riddell, while the difficulties Of
chaperonage were presented by Mrs.
McKeag and Miss Sturtz. While no
formal action was taken, it was the
sentiment of the members that class
parties be limited to six during he
year and that these should be simple
in nature and carefully chaperoneh
It was also urged that the parents co
operate with the teachers in supervis-
ing these and in aiding the boys and
girls to have the right sort of enter
tainment.
The question of proper dressing will
be taken up at the next meeting. A
full program will be given later.

ber of the Board of Education Of the
Independent School district Of Mar

Mr.. Cowles has served on the Board
for several years, and has just rec

HORTICULTURAL MEETING TO BE
HELD AT MANCHESTER.

To the citizens of Manchester and
surrounding country, notice is hereby
given that the 33d annual meeting of
the Northeastern Iowa Horticultural
society will be held at Manchester on
Wednesday and Thursday, November
21 and 90. At a meeting of the Della
ware County Farmers Institute in the
year 1915, vote of those present ex-
pressed a decided sentiment favoring
the location Of some. future session
of the above named society at Man
chester, and the wish there expressed
is now to be realized. In an effort
to make the coming session one OF the
very best in the society's history We
feel assured that We shall have the
corporation of all who in any wa!
may be interested in matters of horti-
culture, Horticulture, civic and rural
improvements The programs will be
taken care of principally by members
of the society proper, but space will
be given for several papers which we
hope will be supplied by local citizens
either in the city or country, subjects
to be chosen by the writer's. We ex-
pect one of the interesting features Of
the meeting will be an unusually fine
and large fruit exhibit such as is sell
dom seen in this locality, and for
which liberal premiums will be offer
ed. and to which any fruit grower in
Delaware or adjacent counties is cor
daily invited to contribute. We think
that we may confidently rely upon the
Commercial club of Manchester in
helping to make arrangements for
suitable room that should be provided
with tables giving ample space for the
display of apples and other fruits and
vegetables, and in a few other 'neces-
sary details. The small appropriation,
of funds from the state horticultural
society being scarcely sufficient to
meet the expenses of the four district
societies, we must rely upon our an
nual membership dues to meet any
shortage that may occur in the So
ciety's needs. In view of this fact we
are hoping to secure at least SO new
members in and around the place of
the next meeting. The membership
dues are one dollar which also entities
the holder to a copy of the State Hor-
ticultural Reports, very valuable
work of about 500 pages.
We hope to have the full program
of the meeting as well as the complete
premium list appear in the local pa
pers as early as the week preceding
the dates already announced. The sec
retary expects to be in Manchester in
a few days to make further arrange
ments and no doubt the local papers
will give the meeting further publicity.

District Secretary.

IOWA BOYS AMONG KILLED AND
CAPTURED,

Iowa people are beginning to real
ize that the United States is at war
with Germany. especially since the
reports came from General Pershing
stating that two Iowa men were
among the soldiers killed in an en-
gagement in the front line trenches
in northern France last Saturday
morning. Private Merle d. Hay of
Glidden, Iowa, and Private Henry D.
Kern of Collins, Iowa, sacrificed their
lives in the cause of democracy. In
the engagement three men were kill
ed, five wounded and twelve are re-
ported missing, presumably captured
by the Huns.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
(Telegraph-Herald,)

1t is only forty-eight or fifty more
days to Christmas, time to begin to
do your Christmas shopping. Espec-
tally is it time to begin if you are
intending to send a Christmas pack
age to those gallant fellows who are
"over there" fighting to make the
world safe for democracy and to keep
the world safe for you. . 1t takes con-
siderable time to get a package de-
livered in France. especially one con-
signed to military unit, for there is
SO much inspection it must pass.
After you had bought your Lib
erty bond your next duty should be
to spend fifty cents, seventy-five cents
or a dollar on Christmas package
You'll be surprised at the quantity OF
comforts you can get for that amount
of money. But don't confine yourself
entirely to comforts Try to recall
how you felt when you were kid
and woke up on Christmas morning
to find that your parents had decided
you had reached the age when practi-
cal Christmas presents ought to be
yours. You felt pretty blue for a
while, didn't you, At getting pair of
stockings instead of an air-rifle. Well
the soldiers Uncle Sam has sent over
there are the same sort. You know
Men are but children older grown" ;"
They will appreciate the practical
things. like pair of socks or necn-
tie or handkerchief or some stationery,
but it's ten to one shot that they'll
hail with greater glee package of
gum or a box of "hard" candy (not
chocolates, they won't stand shipping)
or some cigarettes or smoking tobacco
or duck of Jimmy pipe. These
things may not be so practical as
socks, but why not give something un-
usual and that's filled with genuine
pleasure, even il it is only short lived.
If you wish to it is permissible to
enclose your name and address on
card wishing the recipient a Merry
Christmas" The important thing to
remember is to get the package off
early. A do not open until Christ
mas" sticker will insure the package
being held intact until the big day,
and all the address it will need will
be American Expeditionary Force.
Somewhere in France" Better do it
NOW.

ANSWERS THE NATIONS CALL.

Herbert Hoover having designated
the International Live Stock Exposi-
ton Food Training Camp" by
this act drafted this institution into
the service of this country. More
meat" is the appeal Of the food ad-
ministrator. To win the war, beef
and pork Especially. the latter will
be necessary. There is shortage
OF meats and fats. For years this
deficiency has been developing. Dur
ing that period the International Live
Stock Exposition has acted as con-
serving agency, educating the coun-
try along lines of economical pro-
tions in this emergency would have
been even less favorable. This sea-.
son a great drive for immediate in
crease in production will be made.
The moment is opportune and con-
ditions ripe Consumption of meats
has reached a stage several laps
ahead of production and the Inter-
national Live Stock Exposition
teaches the way out. More cattle,
hogs and sheep of better quality and
earlier maturity, insuring maximum
weight and minimum expense is the
solution of the problem.
The International Live Stock Expo
sitiOn, which will be held during the
first week in December, will this year
emphasize its mission. The problem
OF the moment is more food and in n )
other way can the lesson be more con-
vincingly taught.
