TO ESTABLISH 4 FUND FOR OUR
SOLDIERS.

The Manchester Commercial club
has decided to establish a Military
Booth under the grand stand on the
Fair Grounds during the four days of
the fair. Mr.. L. E. Pride has been
placed in charge. The booth will
have the exclusive right of selling
through the grand stand. One half
the proceeds from this booth will be
given for Relief Fund for the bene-
fit of the Delaware County boys who
have gone and will 60 into the SER
vice of their country.
It is certain that the people of the
county will get behind this enterprise
and help in every possible way to
make it big success. When one con-
siders the heavy burden and expense
the Manchester Commercial club is
assuming in the improvement of the
Fair grounds and the responsibility
of the magnificent fair to be staged
surely it is to be highly commended for
this splendid arrangement. We un-
derstand the different towns in the
county will be invited to furnish help
for this enterprise that we may all
have a hand in doing something for
our own home county boys.

IOWANS CELEBRATE AT LONG
BEACH, CAL.

Judging from the account of the an
nual Iowa picnic at Long Beach, Cal,
published in the Press of that city,
Long Beach must be veritable "Lit-
tie Iowa"
Some idea of the magnitude of the
gathering may be formed from the
published statement that upwards of
25,OOO former Iowa people were in at
tendance.
The principal address of the day was
delivered by Hon. Frank F. Merriam,
formerly of this county, but now a
newspaper man at Long Beach, and a
member of the California legislature.
1t is safe guess that much of the
larger number of those in attendance
at this joyous Long Beach reunion
made their money in Iowa.
