TIE MANCHESTER BAND.

That Manchester will have con-
cert band to be proud Of in the near
future there is no doubt. This fact
is evident by the number of apphca-
tons for membership which have re-
Gently been received some OF which
have been accepted and will soon be
playing a part. The business men
OF the city have been liberal in their
support and as consequence the
band is now equipped with good in
struments and uniforms which OF
course is absolutely necessary in or
der to keep up interest and support.
One thing we would impress upon
the general public is the responsible
ity OF each individual living in this
community for the success OF the
band. The Manchester band Is your.
band and your organization just as
much as the schools here are your,
schools and the success Of these orr
ganizations rests as much on each
one in this community as on those
actually in charge. How can you
help? BY the spirit Of your good
will and support. In other words,
boost for the band" II your boy or
girl is member Of the band, see that
they attend rehearsals regularly or
II your boy or girl has any musical
talent 1t should be developed. Have
them become member OF the band.
No one can really complete an educa-
ton without some knowledge Of music
for it takes that broadening influence.
of music to keep one from becoming
narrow. There is no selfishness in
music for in entertaining with music
one gives the best there is in them
without stint or measure. Then too
the discipline OF band should be
considered as good influence which
cannot easily be measured In dollars
and cents for the material results are
seen in good citizenship and broad
influence among our fellows which
bring material as well as spiritual
results.
A number of young ladies' have re-

MANCHESTER WILL SOON BE OUT
OF ICE.

Frank Slack tells us this morning
that his supply of river ice will prob
ably carry him through this month,
and after that Manchester Is likely to
be without ice for the remainder OF
the season. Mr.. Slack was in Du-
buque on Tuesday and attempted to
negotiate with wholesale ice manu-
facturer for artificial ice. but had poor
luck in lining up for supply. 1t ap-
pears that railroads are buying up
the ice as fast as the manufacturers
can produce it, and the small re-
taller stands poor chance togetin on
the game. Mr.. Slack tells US that the
Illinois Central Railway company has
contracted the entire output of one
ice manufacturer in Dubuque at $14O0
per ton, and the best figure that
he could obtain was $500 per ton
at the plant in Dubuque. By the
time the ice is shipped to Manchester,
and delivered to the consumer, the
price will necessarily be almost pro-
hibitive for many.

Stearns e Mccormick and w. j..
Lemrond now own the controlling
interest in the Dairy City Butter
Company, having purchased practical
ly all of the stock. Some time ago
Stearn & Mccormick lost two of their
warehouses In the fire which swept
over the ware house section OF the

ties OF merchandise. This plant Is
situated next to the Manchester &

ton and will be in charge Of the af-
fairs OF the creamery and storage
plant. Mr.. Lemrond Is q natural
born creamery man. and Is recogniz-
ed as a man Of proven integrity and
ability, It will be the aim Of the new
owners Of the plant to set out upon 2
program to enlarge the creamery bus
mess. The plant is equipped with
sufficient machinery to handle a

STATE AGENT AFTER AUTO TAX
DODGERS.

A state agent Is operating in Della
ware County at this time rounding
up numerous automobile drivers who
are still using last years numbers.
The state department has furnished
County Attorney Yoran list OF
about five hundred names Of persons
who are said to be delinquent on auto
tar. A fine OF $50 can be assessed In
cases where persons are driving mo-
tor vehicles on the public highways
with number plates other than those
for 1919. Many persons claim to
have sent their money for plates early
In the season, but because OF the
shiftiess manner in which the Secre-
tary of State handled the affairs OF
the auto department, they attempt
to. excuse themselves for not having
the proper number plates. County
Attorney Yoran tells us that that ex-
cuse will not 60 with the state agent.
While at Des Moines last week Mr.
Yoran was informed that the tangle
in which Secretary Of State Allen got
the auto tax department has all been
out, and every person
who has sent money to that office has
received proper credit. He also stat
ed that II any auto owner has not re-
ceived his number plates he should
at once find out whether the right
amount OF money was sent.
No doubt many names on the list
as furnished Mr.. Yoran should not be
on it. We know Of one instance,
where man sold car early In 1918,
and notified the Secretary Of State.
giving the name Of the purchaser. and
asked to have the transfer made on
the records at Des M0ines. And now
comes the list with the original own
er's name as being delinquent on auto
tax. OF the ave hundred names on the
list there are no doubt any number
Of such cases. 80 -
