came evident, and she began to sink.
Her death occurred at the local hos

turning into his yard when an auto
mobile came along on Franklin street
and crashed into the buggy, badly
wrecking the same. The driver of

tunately the only damage done was to
the buggy, which is easily repaired.

there will be no money or business,
and if we win we can make more mon
ey and rebuild our business. But all
we have right now is War"

WE ASK OUR READERS INDULG.
ANCE.

We ask the indulgence Of our read
ers this week for omission from our
columns Of large amount Of reading
matter, already in type but crowded
|out because of the unusually large
amount of advertising matter. The
patriotic merchants and professional
men of Manchester are using an un-
usually large amount Of space in the
newspapers this week, urging in this
way the people OF Manchester and
the county to purchase War Savings
and Thrift Stamps, and in this way
assist the government in winning the
war. We would suggest that our read
ers read carefully these neatly illus
trated advertisements, and then heed
the timely suggestions they contain.
We are obliged to omit the chap
ters of the continued story this week,
but will have the same next week.

RED CROSS NOTES.
&C.. G. YOran).

In the future, all chapters working
under Central Division, are to be as
signed quotas for hospital garments
and supplies. All branches of the
Delaware County Chapter are request
ed to make up all the material they
have on hand and turn the finished
garments into the Red Cross shop
as soon as possible.
No work will be given to branch
until this request is complied with.
AS it will probably take some little
time to make this change, it will be
necessary for branch officers and
members to be patient while rear
rangement is being effectuated by the
parent chapter to meet the require
ments of Central Division headquar-
ters.
Beside several small quotas recently
received, the local chapter is asked to
produce 140 army comfort kits as soon
as possible. AS soon as the supplies
are received for these quotas, the work
will be pushed as fast as possible.
"A

bedshirts, 120 pajamas, 10 bathrobes
and 20 bed jackets. These were made
as follows: Bay division, Buck Creek,

It is too bad that every person in
Delaware county could not hear the
addresses given at Chautauqua this
week. Private Lowell assured us with
all possible earnestness that without
the Red Cross parcels sent to the pris-
oners in Germany they would soon die
of starvation. He said he owed his
life to the Canadian Red Cross. Will
any of our Delaware county boys be
saying the same of the American Red
Cross because Of your contribution?
During DR.. Medbury's address Tues
day night the enthusiastic applause
indicated that the audience was thor
oughly in sympathy with his practical
patriotism and therefore we may sure
ly expect vast increase in help for
the Red Cross. "The Man for Now
if he measures anywhere near up to
the standard set by DR.. Medbury will
not be figuring how little he can do
but how much. And since no one can
justly criticise men of draft age for
seeking deferred classification unless
the one who criticises is doing his full
duty, the hearty applause for DR.. Med
bury's denunciation of the Stacker
must indicate that many in the audi
ence intend to increase their subscrip-
ton to the Loyalty League and give
more of their personal help in waE
activities.

MRS. FUTILE CRITICALLY MLs
Hubert Carr.


Mrs. Henry TuttIe lies critically Ill
at her home in Kingfsher, Oklahoma.
This sad news reached Man
chester the first of the week. Rev.
and Mrs. Henry W. Tuttle were for
sixteen years residents Of Manchester,
during which time the former was
the pastor of the First Congregational
church. From here the family went
to Grinnell, where they resided until
last September, when they removed to
Kingfsher, Oklahoma, where Rev. Mr..
Tuttle accepted the presidency of
Kingfsher college.
Some time in March Mrs. Tuttle sub
mitted to very severe operation, and
soon after that she began to fail. Her
condition has now reached very
critical point, and Manchester people
are hoping that this good woman may
be given strength to combat the dis
ease, and be spared to her family.

the date of introduction Of the joint
resolution in congress requiring his

tanned the age of twenty-one since

marriage subsequent to the date OF the
enactment of the selective service law,

the affirmative finding that his mar
riage since May 49, 1917, was made
with the primary view of evading mill
tary service.
Instruct all local boards for them
to reclassify all cases involving mar
riages since May IS, 1917, in accord
ance with the above"
