WE SHOULD HAVE A COUNTY
AGENT, .F '..ts D.

Steps are we'll under way in the
organization of the Delaware Coun-
ty Farm Bureau. 1t is necessary for
$50 farmers or land owners to become
members of the bureau, each to pay
$500 per year. About rs men are
yet needed to sign. A county farm
bureau with an expert county agent
employed will mean thousands of
dollars added to Delaware County's S
agricultural resources every year. A
farm bureau in Delaware County
will make for permanent fertility of
the soil, more and better live stock,
better selection and care of seed,
more convenient and better farm
houses, better country schools, the
best roads we can afford and a COM
munity spirit and better social life.
A County Agent will spend his en-
tire time for the benefit of Delaware
County. He will be ready at all
times to help any one with any of
their farming problems. AS soon as
$50 have signed the agreement to be-
come members of the Delaware
County Farm Bureau, the organiza-
ton will be effected and a county
agent secured. Every progressive
farmer should become a member

LEAVE COUNTRY.

Provost Marshal General Crow
der has issued a statement to make
it clear that registered men having
business outside the country may
leave if assurances are given the
war department.
persons who have registered
and who desire to leave the United
States, he said. should first OBJ
tain permission in writing from the
war department to do so. This
permission may be obtained by
sending the applicants registration
certificate to the office of the prov
ost marshal general, Washington, D.
C. ga
THE registration certificate
should be accompanied by a state
ment signed by the applicant to the
effect that he accepts the follow
ing terms:
"He is liable to draft unless ex-
empted, excused or discharged
.therefrom; while absent from the
United States the burden of keep
ing himself informed as to whether

rected to do so, he will return to

pense to appear before an exemp-
ton board or to submit to exam

Washington, D. C.-The full extent
OF the nations response to the Liber-
ty Loan was still in the realm of con-
lecture tonight, although indications
were that the estimate of $4,000. .0OO, 900
would be substantially correct.
Only four districts-Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Chicago and st. Louis, had
reported official tabulations to the
treasury and these were not disclosed.
No word was forthcoming today as
to the approximate time of completion
of the work Officials are anxious to
obtain the final figures and the denomi-
nations of the bonds as early as possi-
BILE so that the task of alloting the
bonds may be begun without further
delay. -~s
Liberty Loan bonds were taken in
Delaware county to the amount Of
$149,O50, of which Manchester took
$97,05O, leaving $4,000 for the bal
ance OF the county. A. r. Leroy,
chairman of group four Of the Iowa
Bankers Association, and President
of the First National Bonk Of Man
chester, points out that the amounts
taken by the smaller communities
cannot be fairly compared with the
amounts taken by banking centers,
on the basis of population, because
of the fact that the larger cities hold
much of the money of the smaller
communities, and therefore can take
more bonds without embarrassment.
On the basis of population Manches-
ter's subscription amounts to more
than $4,000 per capita and the rest Of
the county's to less than $4.00 per
capita, but this would not fairly rep
resent the wealth of patriotism Of the
population, for the reason that a con-
siderable portion of the money on de-
posit in Manchester banks is owned
by people residing in other portions
or the county.
Similarly the larger cities have de-
posits of Delaware county money,
which enables them to increase their
subscription for which, the surround
ing territory should have credit.
Next week The Democrat will pub
lish the complete list of alb these who
subscribed to the Liberty Loan, and
any who have not purchased bonds
may do so during the week by apply
ing at any of the Manchester banks.
Subscriptions to the Liberty Loan
by the several towns and communities
in Delaware County amount to the
following sums:

DES MONIES LANDS ARMY TRAIN.
ING CAMP.

The Greater Des Moines Committee,
after hard fight in which 1t seemed
as if the Twin Cities would be the
winner. finally succeeded I'M landing
for the principal city Of the Estate Of
Iowa, the location Of the army train
ing camp. At this camp over $4,000
men are to be trained. The men who
will be trained in this camp are those
drawn in the first draft from Mime
sofa, Iowa, North and South Dakota
and Nebraska. The census estimates
were that the Thirteenth District
would furnish larger quota OF men
than any other war department dis
trict.
In the matter OF new business for
the city. it may be safely estimated
that this is the biggest single boost
ever received by Des Moines. .
1t will mean, according to Guy E.
Logan, adjutant general, the expen-
diture of close to $4,000,00O month
here for so long as the Thirteenth
District men are in training at the
camp. This is likely to be six to nine
months, it is estimated from plans
previously announced by the war de-
partment. 49,
An entire division of infantry, ap-
proximate1y $4,000 men, and numer-
GUS auxiliary troops, will be trained
here. In an army division are nine
regimenGs of infantry, one brigade
of artillery, one regiment Of engi-
neers, one regiment Of cavalry, signal
field battalion, aviation squad, medical
corps and sanitary squad.
Plans have been completely work
ed out for semi-permanent wooden
barracks to house this enormous
number of soldiers. 1t has been an
nounced that work on them will start
as soon as the sites are selected.
Seven hunred and eighty acres of
land--two square miles-are required
for the buildings and parade. 9th
er large tracts are necessary for
small arms and artillery ranges, and
for maneuvering.
Each of the cantonments will con-
tain about 1000 houses. These will in
clude quarters for the men, officers
quarters, kitchens, mess halls, bath
houses, storehouses, and all the var
ious buildings needed for housing the
troops and providing for the varied
activities of big camp. Most OF the
buildings will be long. one-story
structures, with some two-story
houses. N$ So. -

COUNCIL BOOSTS

REGULAR MEETING OF CITY COUN.
GIL HELD ON MONDAY EVEN.
ING,s JUNE 18TH.
PETITION FOR ROAD CONTINUED.
Mrs. c. A. Peterson Appointed Az
Member Of Board of Directors of
Public Library.

The city council met in regular
session on Monday evening. June 18th.
A number of important items Of busi-
ness occupied the attention of the
council.
A committee from the Manchester
Commercial club appeared before the
council with petition to have a new
street opened, beginning on East
Main street about forty rods east Of
East street, and running north to
Prospect street near the A. NJ. Cloud
farm, and at that point connecting
with the road running north to the
east and west road just south Of the
Fair Grounds. Those who are urg-
ing the opening of this new street
claim that the street would eventual
ly make an exceedingly fine drive Of
several miles, encircling the main
part of the city Of Manchester. This
new street would pass through
number of lots in the east part Of the
city, north Of Main street. 1t is said
that a number Of the property owners
were willing to donate the land If the
street could be opened. A we'll grad
ed and gravelled street in the east
part of the city should be establish
ed, inasmuch as that portion of the
city is being built up rapidly in re-
cent years. The city council did not
take any definite action on the petit
ton at the Monday night meeting.
The proposition will be gone over
thoroughly by the council and those
interested in the project. and after
this has been done, the council will
no doubt do what in their best judg-
ment seems for the interests of the
property owners and the city as a
whole.
Mayor Munson appointed Mrs. c. A.
Peterson as a member of the Libra
ry Board, to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Mrs. Idel Miles
Sherwood. ....
Meeting recently as a Board OF Re-
view, the city council made a num-
