COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING

The Manchester Commercial CLUB
met at Keckler's restaurant on Mon
day evening, and was attended by a
large number of the members. Fol-
lowing the dinner E. NJ. Hughes ex-
planned the plan of Merchants ms
titute, which has been considered by
some of the merchants Of Manches-
ter. It is not definitely decided at
this time whether the merchants will
hold an institute or not.
The club had as it's guest Capt.
Harold Pride, who has been instructor
in the officers training school at Ft.
Monroe, Virginia, and in the Students
Army Training Corps at the state uni
versity at Iowa City. Capt. Pride has
been given an honorable discharge
from the service and will soon go to
New York City to take up engineer
ing work for one of the great steel
and iron manufacturing corporations.
Capt. Pride spoke briefly Of his work
in the army as an instructor and Of
the observations he made in training
men in the various training schools.
Mr.. Pride emphasized the fact that the
men with college training were the
ones who were able to pass the rigid
tests required by the army in order
to get the commissions. He stated
that it is lamentable fact that such
large percentage of the young men
who finish our high schools do not
enter college, and such a small per-
centage of the men who enter college
do not complete their courses. Capt.
Pride is son of Sheriff and Mrs. l..
E. Pride, and had his start in the Man.
chester schools. He graduated from
the Manchester schools and then COM
pleted a course in civil engineering
at the State College at Ames. After
giving very valuable service to his
country for some time, he is now about
to engage in his chosen profession,
and because Of his technical knowlege
he is able to fill position Of import
ance, and will pull down a monthly
pay check that will keep the wolf from
his door.
Following the interesting talk by
Capt Pride. Supt. ]. s. Hilliard, DR..
s. r. Beatty and Rev. w. j. Suckow
spoke along the lines of education.

SOLDIERS TO KEEP UNIFORMS

President Wilson signed the bill, re-
Gently passed by congress, permitting
all discharged soldiers and sailors to

rules all discharged soldiers were
permitted to wear their uniforms for
specified time and then turn them
over to some army officer at the camp
where they were discharged.

MRS. STERLING GIVES UP HER
WORK HERE

Mrs. Ellen Sterling, who has been
the efficient Home Demonstration
Agent Of Delaware County during the
past three months, left last Saturday
afternoon for Buffalo Center, where
she and her husband will again 80 to
housekeeping. Last summer Mr..
Sterling entered an officers training
school, and when he entered the SER
vice Mrs. Sterling came to Manchester
to take up the work OF the home dem
onstration agent at the time Miss
Jessie Hastings went to the extension
department at Iowa City. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Sterling complet-
ed his work In the school and receiv-
ed his commission as lieutenant. He
received an honorable discharge from
the army and has returned to his home
to again take charge of his hardware
store and Ford garage.
During the three months that Mrs
Sterling had charge of the Home Dem
onstration work in this county she
formed a wide acquaintance with
people. She has been eminently sue
cessful in her work here and the
friends she has made in Delaware
County will miss her. She was in
in organizing many Food
Study Clubs among the women of the
county and demonstrated her ability
rs an instructor and demonstrator
and gave valuable assistance in solv-
ing the economic problems which con-
fronted the women during the war
emergency.
Mrs. Sterling's successor has not
been chosen, but it is quite likely that
one will be here in about two weeks,

Old Sunday Law To Go

For sixty years it has been uniaw-
full in the State of Iowa to operate
on Sunday anything but stage coach
es, livery barns, ferry boats. toll
roads and to do anything but labor
of necessity. 1t will be remembered
that a terrible furore was created
all over the state two years ago.
just after the legislature adjourned
when Acknowledgement Havner set out
to enforce these old blue laws" And

Road Bill Nearly Ready

HC ouO uA6oSoS PASFSSAsSA~ o--~S -
expected to have to meet when they
came here to take part in this Gener-
al Assembly was the road question.
It was touted as the big job, the con-
test ground, the battle field on which
men would rise to fame or fall to OBJ
livion. But up to this time the gen.
eral membership Of the legislature
have not even touched upon 1t. Sew
eral road bills dealing with incidental
phases of the question have been In
troduced, and one or two have receiv-
ed favorable action so far But the
consensus of opinion among legis-
lators is that the whole road laws
should be rewritten to meet present
conditions and all reenacted into one
comprehensive law.
To this end the highway committees
of the House and Senate have been
working together, and working hard,
day and night. Chairman Balkema
OF the Senate committee and Chair
man Santee of the House committee
have given their whole spare time out
of the legislative chambers to work
on this bill. To meet the demand of
members for some sort of an idea
regarding their work that might be
reported to their constituents while
home on their vacation,t the committees
have given out synopsis OF the road
bill they have now nearly ready for
presentation. In brief this summary
is as follows:
The committee bill contemplates
that no state bond issue will be neces-
sary to carry out its provisions. It
will provide for a primary road sys-
TEN of about 5000 miles in the state
comprising what is now the county
road system to the extent that 1t
takes in all roads connecting from one
county to another. These inter-county
roads it is designed shall be paved
if the people in the different counties
vote to have them paved, and the
money to do it will come from the
federal aid allowed by the National
Government, from the automobile
licenses (Which will be doubled) and
from the land owners along the line
of the paved road who will be most
benefited thereby. This primary or
inter}county road will embrace about
one-third of the present county road
system. Then the county road sys-
tenn comes next, and these road will
get all the money at present levied
by direct taxes, and such county roads
will be developed and improved by the
boards of supervisors and township
trustees.
In short, the main or inter-county
road system to be paved will be sub
ject to county option and vote Of
the people affected. If they want paw
ed roads they can vote to get them.
If they do not then the federal aid
money will be applied elsewhere. On
the provisions of the bill thus far
outlined the subcommittee Of both
houses are agreed.
Yes, there will be opposition later.
1t is realized that such big propo-
sition cannot be enacted without op-
position. There are as many ideas on
the road question as there are men,
usually, and some mighty good ideas
are held by people who cannot now
be heard here. But out of 1t all may
come some improvement in the road
laws and thus start Iowa toward the
program some of the forward look
ing people of the state hope for.

GRADUATES IN DEMAND

As an evidence of the prosperity
which the southwest now enjoys and
in which Albuquerque Is sharing is
the demand of business firms for
the graduates of the Albuquerque
Business College.
Within the past week President J.
f. Goodell has received ten calls for
office help. About half of these
came from Albuquerque and the
others from out of town firms, near
~ all of these have for years been
regular patrons of the school and
secure all their help from that
source.
Positions filled within the past
month include positions in banks,
wholesale firms, in government serv-
ice, as commercial teachers, as pri-
vate secretaries-in fact, in nearly
every line of business activity. Salar-
les received by those placed range
all the way from $75 for beginners
up to 5000 a month; the latter figure
being the salary at which the school
placed a young man who graduated
few years ago and who recently
/ received his discharge from the navy,
/ The school has an excellent sum
mer attendance which will increase
quite materially this week as many

WHAT BECOMES OF
THE MILK BOTTLES

The average mix bottle makes
only II trips before it is broken or
lost
For every consumer who has a
quart of milk delivered at the door
each day the dealer in the course
Of year has to supply 20 new bot
ties.
This is the report made by dairy
experts of the department of agricul-
ture, who have just completed an
investigation of the staggering waste
Of millions of milk bottles annually.
The investigation, conducted in Sc
cities, show that the average milk
dealer buys 1888 new bottles q
month and the large dealers buy
more than 10000 a month, which are
largely, though not entirely re-
placement stock.
In IS OF the cities investigated
more than S,00000 sound milk bot.
ties are collected annually from the
! city dumps, the specialists report. II
some cities the business carried OF
| by junk dealers is one of the mos
serious sources of milk bottle losses
| they say. Not only do they sell the
bottles to dealers in the city, but oft
en- ship them to other towns Mos
states have no laws restricting sucl
| traffic.
Only 33 cities had milk bottle eX
| changes, or places where milk bot
ties from all sources are sorted on
and returned to the owner provide
he is a member of the exchange.
Nineteen states have regulation
governing the use of milk bottles, tn
report concludes, and ~ cities re
ported the use by dealers OF othe
dealers bottles.

tive mill SO mangled that their au-
thors will hardly recognize them.
The League representatives are few
and their enemies are many. Their
enemies are tricky and powerful.
They recognize the menace of the
League and are adopting any tactics
that come to hand. They are fight
ing nearly every League representa-
tive and senator with county divi-
sion bill, designed to divide his dis
trict so that it will be impossible for
the League man to be reelected, or
so as to create another district that
will elect an anti-League man and off
set the League mans vote. Twenty
two separate county division bills had
been introduced in the first two weeks
Of the session.
But in spite of their money and in
fuence and power, it is the writer's
prediction that the League enemies
are going to lose. Montana today is
just in the state of mind that Cali
fornia was 10 years ago, just before
it threw off the Southern Pacific rail-
road machine, that had been on it's
back for so years, and became one of
the progressive states of the country.
Montana, ever since statehood, has
had the copper trust on it's back, first
in the name of the Amalgamated, now
the Anaconda Copper Mining COM
pany. Legislator after legislator,
judge after judge, will be pointed out
to you, around Helena, as a "com-
pany" man, just as legislators and
judges used to be pointed out in Cali
fornia as Southern Pacific" men.

lature are in smaller minority than
the League members in the North Da-
kota senate in 1917. But they are
making their presence felt, and it is
my guess that they are going to prove
the leaven that will throw Montana
solidly to the League in 1920, and
make the Treasure state not merely
a treasure to the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, but treasure to the
farmers and workingmen.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
wish to express my appreciation
of the League and the vast amount
Of good which it is doing for the la
boring men and women of our great
state. I am absolutely sure that no
better man could be found for leader
of this great reform movement than
A. G. Townley. That is the reason
Big Biz is and has been so busy try
ing to get the farmers blindfolded to
this fact and to get some other man
in his place whom they could handle.
was certainly glad for the oppor-
tunity to vote for Mr.. Townley as
president of the League. In my
opinion the referendum was a wise
move, because now the opposition will
have nothing to holler their heads off
about.
1 am certainly glad the amendments
were passed, an absolute impossibility
without our great organization. The
future looks bright for the toilers of
North Dakota.

POT BOILING IN NEBRASKA

Hoskins, Neb.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
We held very enthusiastic Non
partisan meeting at what is called the
Apex schoolhouse, with Mr.. Nicodemus
of Newman's Grove as speaker, and I
can tell you that Mr.. Nieodemus kept
the crowd alaughing while he spoke.
We are going to have another meeting
at some other schoolhouse about four
miles from the Apex schoolhouse, and
we are going to invite some of the
council of defense for our next meet
ing and see what they will have to
say. We didn't get any members at
this meeting because they said they
wanted another meeting to see what
the council of defense men would do
in regard to our meeting the next
time. Of course, it's all bosh-I mean
the council of defense scare, but some
men feel that way.
Well, the weather is fine and politics
good.
