FIRE PREVENTION DAY.

Ole G. Rowe, State Fire Marshal of
Iowa, asks the people of the state to
take extra precautions this year in
respect to reducing the number of
fires which yearly consume vast
quantities of food supplies and other
valuable merchandise. He :: suggests
that in cities and towns especial care
be taken to safeguard elevators, mills,
granaries, cribs and storehouses,
which are now being filled with grain.
The fire marshal says that it is not
only an economic but patriotic duty
to see that proper safeguards be plac-
ed about these places where so much
valuable grain is stored. H. '..'t .
Governor Harding, by proclamation,
has designated Tuesday, October 9th,
1917, as Fire Prevention Day. The
Governors Proclamation is as follows:
There are extraordinary public rea-
sons for making the observance of Fire
Prevention Day in 1917 more general
and effective than ever before, for the
seriousness of fire in war time is
three-fold. 1t destroys the greatly
needed supplies of foodstuffs, lumber
and other vital staples, and of urgent

A LITTLE THING WORTH WHILE.

A small group of men who wished
to do something for Company H boys
have contributed one dollar per to
buy years subscription of dozen
good magazines for the company Each
issue of these magazines will be sent
direct from the publishers to Company
H every month and will follow it for
one year. This little deed will furnish
the boys with the latest magazine ma
terial for bunk fatigue. Here are the
men who antied in: Fred Munson, F.
P. Walker, Gus Philip, Will Matthews,
E. M. Hughes, Don Preussner, DR.. N.
Wilson, William Barr, Bert Hoag, Clar-
ence Yoran, Elsie Dunlap, Hubert
Carr, F. c. NAPLES, H. E. Henderson,
Jos. Hutchinson.
There is considerable talk about the
needs of Company H. The cold fact
still remains that very little has been
done. The company is very very bad
ly in need of mess fund. The peo-
pie at home do not realize the impor-
lance of this fund. What a shame
some of the talk we hear can't be crys-
talized into money for this purpose.
We understand there is a movement
to hold a dance next week Friday, the
proceeds to go to Company H. This
should receive the heartiest support
from the whole county among the old
err people as we'll as the younger.

DELAWARE LUTHERAN MISSION.

Last Sunday the Lutheran church
at Delaware celebrated it's annual
Mission Festival. The purpose of
Lutheran Mission Festivals is to
awaken new interest in missionary
work both at home and abroad. Ser
mons on mission topics are preached
and collections for mission purposes
are taken up.
The attendance last Sunday broke
all former records, the church being
crowded to overlooking. Including
children, nearly three hundred. peo-
pie were present. Rev. C. Jobst of
Charlotte, Iowa, preached the sermon
in the morning and Rev. H. Schultz
of Sanborn, Mimi, preached the af-
ternoon sermon. The mixed quar-
tet of the congregation rendered a
special selection both in the forenoon
and in the afternoon At noon a
grand dinner was served to all pres
ent, in the basement of the church,
by the ladies of the congregation. It
takes the ladies of the Delaware con-
gregation to put up a real square
meal" as all who were present can
testify. About $172 was collected for
mission purposes. X.

came west and located at Dundee, 1lli-

Mrs. McEwen is survived by her on

and one sister, Mrs. Phila B. Hills Of
Kankakee, Illinois.
For many years Mrs. McEwen has
been in feeble condition, and during
those years she was given affectionate
attention by her son. During the last
months of her life she was spared pain
and suffering.
Mrs. McEwen united with the Con-
gregational church of Manchester in
1879, the year when she came to this
city. She was faithful attendant up

prevented her from doing so. Her

Mrs. Gus Barnd and her daughter
in-law, Mrs. Frank Barnd, sustained
painful injuries in an automobile ac-
cident near Sabula, Iowa, on Monday
afternoon. 1t appears that the ladies
had been spending some days with
their husbands, who are doing bridge
work at Sabula, and had gone to the
city with the driver of motor truck
for provisions, and when going down
steep hill, one of the chains on the
truck broke, and the car started head
long down the steep incline. The driv-
er saw at once that there was no way
of holding his car under control, and
advised the women to jump lest they
be carried down over an embank-
ment with the machine. In jumping
both received severe injuries. Mrs.
Gus Barnd sustained a dislocated
shoulder, and other injuries of a SER
ious nature. Mrs. Frank Barnd sus-
tanned a broken ankle, and other pain
full bruises.
The driver of the car also jumped
Just before the truck went over-the
embankment, where it was completely
demolished.
The injured ladies were brought to
their homes in Manchester on Monday
evening, where they are being cared
for, and are getting along as we'll as
can be hoped for at the present time

rolls the largest per cent q it's popula
