MANCHESTER GREETS LIBERTY
LOAN SPECIALS.

In spite of the very unfavorable
weather last Wednesday afternoon an
immense crowd gathered at the 1lli-
nois Central station to see the train
of war relics, and hear the speakers,
among them being returned veterans
Of the world war. The crowd was
very much disappointed over the fact
that the car with the whippet tank
had to be taken from the train and
sent to Oelwein, where another tank
had slid into quicksand hole and the
tank that was scheduled to give an
exhibition at Manchester was sent to
Oelwein to pull it out of the hole
On Monday forenoon another large
crowd gathered on the Four Corners
of Manchester to greet the big mill
tary band from Dubuque College, and
to hear short speeches by District At
torney O'Connor, Hon. David Murphey
of Dubuque, and representative from
Clinton county. The speakers were
much surprised to learn that Delaware
County had not even been organized
for the Victory Loan drive, and plead
ed with the people to get busy at once
and perfect an organization that would
put over the loan in this county, the
same as all the other loans were put
over.
The Dubuque College band favored
the immense crowd with patriotic sell
ections during the program.
