of this city, were united in marriage

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING.

The regular meeting OF the Man
chester Commercial club was held in
the Globe hotel Monday evening. and
was largely attended. A number of
items of business were discussed at
considerable length. The committee
on procuring a suitable clubroom
made a report of it's work, and made
a recommendation as to place that
might be available. The club did
not take definite action as to renting
a room. but it is likely that some de-
cisiOn will be reached soon.
The road question also came up for
discussion. Since the recent blizzard
practically all of the roads leading
into Manchester have been in bad con-
dition because at certain points there
are drifts. which make auto travel
impossible. In fact sleighing is
about as bad as wheeling for on every
turnpike along the road the snow
was blown away making sleighing
impracticable. 1t was suggested that
this condition be called to the atten-
ton of the Board of Supervisors, with
the thought that some effort should
be made to have the main thorough
fares made passable.
A brief discussion was had as to
the ten per cent increase in electric
light rates. Following adjournment
of the club the members went to the
council room to present the matter to
the council. At the very moment the
club. members entered the council
room, the council was passing on
bills, and had the light companys
bill under discussion. The company
had added a ten per cent to the city
bill the same as it has to the private
consumer The city fathers o. K'ed
the bill after deducting the ten per
cent. which they claim the company
has no right to add without first ask
ing the consent of the council, and al
so because of an agreement the coun-
Gil and the company had entered into
some months ago when the company
was granted raise in it's street light
ing. The members of the commercial
club asked the council to employ a
competent electrical engineer and ac-
countant and determine whether a
ten per cent. increase is justified.
This the council consented to do.

FINDS BOMB IN COAL.

1t is reported that Cy Kenny Of Earl
Vile made a startling discovery OF a
bomb in his coal bin Sunday morn
ing while he was shoveling some coal
into his furnace. Mr.. Kenny noticed a
peculiarly shaped object in his pile
of coal and upon examination discov-
cred it was a steel casing about seven
inches long, with both ends sealed with
wax and had every appearance of a
missile loaded with high explosives.
The coal had been purchased from an
Earlville dealer who had only recently

MRS. OTTO HAUG.

Mrs. Otto Haug died at her home
in this city Monday morning, after an
illness of about two weeks. A few
weeks ago Mrs. Haug was called to
Westgate, Iowa, to care for her
daughter, and at the time she was
called railroad traffic was demoral-
lied, and the weather unusually cold.
She was obliged to. travel in poorly
heated coaches and wait for hours in
station without heat, and by the
time she reached her destination she
had contracted a severe cold, which
rapidly developed into pneumonia. She
was brought to her home here, and
was desperately ill for time. The
last few days Of last week an appar-
ent change for the better was noted
in her condition, and her friends felt
that she had passed the danger point.
Heart trouble of very serious ma
ture developed on Sunday night, and
from then on she gradually grew
weaker until death released her from
suffering.
Funeral services were held from
the family home on Delaware street
this afternoon at 2:30. Rev. c. X.
Hudson had charge of the services.
The body was placed in the receiving
vault and will be inferred in Oakland
cemetery later.
Clara Kramer was born in Dubuque,
November Oath, 1868, and spent all of
her girlhood days in the Key City. She
was united In marriage with Mr.. Otto
Haug at Dubuque on May End, 1888.
For many years after their marriage
they resided in Dubuque Later they
came to Colesburg, where they lived
for fourteen years. From Colesburg
the family moved to Great Bend,
Kansas, where they resided until the
spring Of 1913, when they came to
Manchester.
Mrs. Haug leaves to mourn for her,
the husband. one son, Fred o. Haug;
three daughter, Viola and Lydia, all
of this city, and Mrs. Norma Littig,
of Westgate, Iowa. She is also sur
vived by the following sisters-Miss
Esther Kramer. Of Dubuque,
Mrs. Frances E. Crook of Cedar Rap
ids. Mrs. Mary K Williams of Harri-
son, Montana, and the following half
sisters-Mrs. Amelia Schmitt, and Mrs.
Emma Thompson of Dubuque; Mrs.
Minnie Schmitt of Gilman, Wisconsin;
and three half-brothers: Adolph. Hen
ry and August Kramer, all of Dubuque.
Mrs. Haug was member Of the
Methodist Episcopal church and the
Royal Neighbors. She possessed
qualities of heart and mind which
found expression in kindly service to
those in the home and a large circle
of friends. She lived truly Christ
ian life and was true wife and moth.
err. She loved her home and those
in it. Only last summer the family
moved into their comfortable cottage
on Delaware street where Mrs. Haug
and her family were enjoying life to
the fullest extent Her devotion to
those she loved was manifested when
she made the fatal journey to her
daughters home some weeks ago, in
spite of difficulties which she knew
were to be encountered.
Her death has brought unspeakable
sorrow to the husband and children,
and the sympathy of this community
goes out to those who mourn.
Among the relatives from a dis
tance who were here to attend the
funeral services are Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Schmitt of Dubuque, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Williams of Harrison,
Montana, and Mrs. Frances Crook
of Cedar Rapids, and many friends
from nearby places.

Sugar Beet Production Brings Prosperity

ers in their drive for a greater pro-
duction, they are pressing home with

cure greater acreage than w ever
planted to sugar beets in this county
before. The world is demanding
sugar-more sugar. For months dur
ing the past winter the amount Of
sugar family could buy, was Off
cially designated. That sugar pro-
duction in this country must be ma
terially increased needs no argument
and large percentage of this in
crease will naturally come from Graf

of the Michigan Sugar Company's
plant.
Aside from the patriotic necessity
of helping supply the sugar needs of
nations other than our own, there are
conditions connected with the pro-
duction of sugar beets that particu-
liarly favor the sugar beet grower of
this section. The wonderful fertility
Of the soil is a most important factor,
but Of even greater Importance the
fact that unreasonable ear = frost in
the fall benefits the sugar beet while
other crops perish.
