 Americans Repulse Tanks With the American Army in France, May 30.- (Thursday.)-1n
 one of the counter attacks launched against the Americans in Cantigny, the Germans tried to use tanks. The
 enemy infantry had no more than shown itself than the American artil- lery opened a heavy fire. Both the foot soldiers and the tanks were driv1 en back in disorder. The new American positions in
 Cantigny are being improved con-
 stantly. The Americans have not
 budged an inch since they gained the town. Every time the enemy artillery
 starts a bombardment the American
 gunners retaliate and smother the op- position fire.

CAN FRESH MEAT FOR SUMMER
Method Easily Followed in the Home
Kitchen.

Instead of smoking or curing the
surplus meat killed in winter, it may
be kept fresh for summer use by can
ming, advise the home economics au-
thorities at Iowa State College. A sat
isfactory method is to put it up in Or
binary household canning jars. The
work can be done in any home.
The meat needs to be boiled or
roasted for half an hour and then cut
into pieces convenient for putting in
to the jars. Before packing into the
containers, the bone, gristle and ex-
cessive fat are removed. After the
jars are packed, they are filled with
boiling water, the covers put on loose
ly and set into a boiler with a Stat
bottom that keeps the jars from touch
ing the boiler bottom Then the jars
are boiled, five hours for beef or four
hours for chicken or pork. After re-
moving, the covers should be tighten

THRIFT DAY PROCLAMATION.

To the People of Iowa:
BY virtue of authority in me vested,
and in harmony with the great nation
al movement for saving, I hereby des-
ignate February Sd, 1918, as THRIFT
DAY" in Iowa.
In times of peace, thrift and econ
omy are prime virtues. AS a war
necessity, thrift and saving are funda-
mental A great thrift campaign has
been started by the national govern
ment, the purpose of which is to in
terest every man, woman, and child
in the country in saving, so that they
may loan to the government in this
critical hour. No individual is so poor
or so rich that he should not join this
movement.
This day especially set apart is the
holy Sabbath. 1 want to urge that ev-
cry pulpit in the state use the subject
of Thrift as text on this particu-
lar day, and that our people every
where attend church and join in the
spirit of the occasion.
I also especially urge that on the
day previous, every man, woman, and
child, so far as possible, go to their
postoffice, bank or other authorized
agency, and purchase no less than one
$500 United States War Savings
Stamp, which will cost Sab, and
urge at the same time that those who
can, purchase more. In this way, ii
all will do their part, our accumulat-
ed savings can be tremendous fact
or in financing this war to successful
victory.
l want to urge upon the school boys
and girls the advantage of the oppor-
tunity that is offered them to help
their government, for these Thrift
Stamps can be purchased in denomina-
lions of Csc, and if each boy and girl
in the nation will buy one, it will put
our soldiers over the top and bring
peace to this war-stricken world.
want to urge educators, and es-
pecially teachers, to make the subject
of Thrift" one for daily study and
in the schools. The les
son that will be taught will be helpful
not only today but in the years to

A PROCLAMATION.
TO the People of Iowa:

To the People of Iowa:
BY virtue of the authority in me
vested I desire at this time to bring to
the attention, especially to the farm
ers of the Commonwealth of Iowa, the
great and vital necessity of thorough
and accurate seed corn census.
BY reason of the extraordinary
early freezing weather in the fall OF
1917, there was much damage done
to the seed corn throughout the en-
tire state, and therefore it will be
necessary this year that the greatest
precautions be taken against the plant
ing of this poor seed corn.
I cannot urge too strongly the ne
cessity for the careful testing of all

COUNCIL OF DEFENSE SUGGESTS
DRASTIC MEASURES.

To all School Officers of the State
of Iowa, County Superintendent
! of Schools and all others having to
do with the Management in the State:
The Iowa Council of National De-
tense at meeting held November 23d
at the State House, in the city OF Des
Moines, passed the following resolu-
ton unanimously:
Resolved, That it is the sense
| of the Iowa Council of National
Defense that the public schools OF
Iowa, supported by public taxa
| tion, should discontinue the teach
ing of the German language"
The Council believes that there is
less demand in commercial life for
German than for any other foreign
language. While it is complimentary
to our German people to have this Ian
guage taught it is against every pa
triotic interest. This language assists
in keeping our people apart while
unity is necessary if the republic is to
continue. It is no sacrifice to any
BODY to discontinue the teaching of
German. We also suggest where 1t
is impossible to discontinue the teach
ing of German at once without dis
rupting classes, that the superintend-
ents and teachers see that German
patriotic airs are not sung, and also
see that those parts of German text
books devoted to clarifying Germany
and her home population be eliminat-
ed
The Council of Defense took this
action not from prejudice against any
language; not from prejudice against
any number of our people, but solely
in the interest of harmonizing and
bringing our people together with
common language, believing thus they
would act more periodically and more
essentially with common purpose.
This request upon the part of the
Council of Defense has been we'll re-
ceived by the press of the state. Edit
ors have not complained or objected.
BY it's adoption some expense in con-
Quoting the public schools can be
saved and altogether it seemed to be
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-01-23

the right thing, the patriotic thing,
and we request that so rapidly as pos
sible the teaching of the German Ian
guage be discontinued in all schools
in the state supported by public tax
alton.
