DELAWARE COUNTY SCHOOLS GO
OVER THE TOP

At this writing the successful finish
OF our Syrian-,Armenian campaign Is
practically assured. With the money
that has not vet been sent in, but is
promised, the fund will exceed the
$1,000 mark. This fine record is the
result of hearty cooperation between
the teachers, pupils and superintend-
ent. Practically every school in the
county went into the campaign with
sincerity OF purpose and determ-
ination that left no doubt in our mind
as to the final result. The. money
will be forwarded to National Head
quarters as soon as the last donation
is in. In behalf of our suffering boy
and girl friends across the sea. we
again thank the pupils of Delaware

they have taken and the splendid
showing they have made in this CAM
paign.

comes from the Petersburg Parochial

In letter Just received by Joe Nc
Cormick, state secretary Of the X. of

ter, the first Iowa man who went to

cause Of the long hauls into Germany

in four years they have seen anything

SAW ACTION ON FOUR FRONTS.

; Chester Tousley, one OF the boys
from this city, who entered the service
at the time the Mexican border trouble
started, is home from France, after
eleven months Of overseas service.
During that time Mr.. Tousley saw
service on four fronts, and was gassed
twice. The first gas attack was light
and laid him up for only short time.
But the last dose put him out of the
fight. His throat and lungs are still
far from we'll as the result Of the
deadly gas. This young man saw a
lot OF hard service and faced the deadly
misles and gas Of the enemy during
many engagements. During all OF
this time in France he never came
across any of the Manchester boys
who have been in service overseas,
but saw some of the boys from nearby
towns like Winthrop, Strawberry Point
and other places.

PATRIOTIC PROGRAM ATTRACTS
LARGE CROWDS

The patriotic program given last
Friday evening by the pupils of the
public schools and St. Xavier, attract
ed such large crowd that many were
unable to gain admittance to the City
Opera House. In order to accom-
modate those who were unable to hear
the program on Friday night, the pro-
gram was repeated on Monday night.
when the opera house was again filled
to the doors. The exercises were
given under the auspices Of the local
Woman's Relief Corps, and the pro-
ceeds will be used in purchasing new
flags for the schools OF Manchester.
The manner in which the young people
performed their parts at these pro-
grams reflects much credit upon the
careful training they are receiving by
their teachers in the schools and the
work the students are doing them
selves.

SALE OF IOWA HOLsTEINs.

Dairy cattle are in Keen demand
everywhere. There has never been
such call for high class stock as
there is just at this time. This was
emphasized in no uncertain way at
the sale of Holstein- -Friesians held in
Waterloo recently. Two herds were
completely dispersed.
The herds belonged to c. s, Mulks
Of Riceville and G. e. Moore Of Wal
lingford. Mr.. Mulks has been sue
cessful farmer-breeder for the pas!
twelve years. He has built up his
herd judiciously, through the use OF
exceptionally we'll chosen sires. He
sold about eighty head for total OF
$69, 700, which is probably the best
dispersion sale ever made west Of the
Mississippi river.
Mr.. Moore was a practical farmer
breeder and he has been building up a
herd on the basis of individual excel
lence. He was not in position to
do much testing because he was a
pioneer dairyman in this section
From a practical standpoint he was
unusually successful through the
twelve years that he maintained a
Holstein herd and most of his pros
perity is due to his dairy success
Neither of the men were what could
be called professional breeders, that
is, men who devoted their entire time
to breeding interests.
In all, about $50 head af cattle were
sold for total of s1O7,170. The larg-
est buyer in point Of numbers, came
from New Orleans. Other buyers
came from Wisconsin, Illinois, Mis-
souri, South Dakota and Iowa.
The highest priced animal in the
sale was Mr.. Mulk's senior herd sire
which brought $500. The highest
priced female brought s2,5o0 Sever
al sold at this figure.
On the whole, the sale was a decid-
ed boost for the Holstein-Friesian in
terests in the Hawkeye state.
