ANoTHER WAVE OF CRIME.

Things have come to pretty pass In
thi scommunity, when person driv-
ing to Manchester on Saturday ev-
ening to do trading has to bring with
him a police force to guard his car
in order to have enough OF it left so
he can get home without buying all
the automobile accessories in the town
to equip machine to take him home.
Last Saturday evening young farm
er and his family from north OF town
left their car standing near DR.. Mays
corner, right in the glare OF the cleo
trolier, and when they started home
new casing and inner tube had. been
taken from the tire rack on the side OF
the car. Another young man from
Prairie township came to Manchester
the same evening to do his trading and
attend the movie, leaving his car near
the theater on Franklin street. When
the show was over the young man
found that some one had appropriated
the car and where to locate it was the
next problem. Officers and the owner
of the car found it in dark alley near
the United Brethren church, after sew
eral hours of searching. The wind
shield to this car was broken when
found. w.
Here, however is the best one OF
ALL Our good friend, John Reilly, OF
Ryan, while attempting to drive home
from Manchester last Friday night en-
countered some engine trouble along
the road mile or two south OF the
city, and was obliged to leave the car
by the roadside. and get home as best
he could. Before he could come with
another car to haul in the dead" Ford
all four tires were removed from the
wheels, the extra tire taken from its
rack, the head and tail lights and the
cushions removed and carried off to
some foreign port. If that isn't about
stripping Ford car OF its important
parts then we miss ovr guess.
While this wave Of thieving con-
tinues it might be wise thing for
every auto owner to carry with him
the hired man. and equip him with an
elm sapling, with instructions to use 1t
to the limit.

NOTICE TO SHEEP GROWERS.

At a recent meeting OF tie Sheep
Growers Association the following
provisions were made to handle the
spring wool clippings. Farmers Of
the County are requested to pool their
wool with the Association in order
to secure better prices The County
Association is part of the State AS
sociation which will maintain two in
spectors and statesmen at Chicago.
July First and Second have been
set aside as days in which wool will
be delivered at the stOrehouse at Man
chester. Wool will be graded and
properly labeled after which buyers

OF Nebraska, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Missouri and Wisconsin and
other states are handing their wool
clip in this fashion. Cash will be

PIONEER CITIZENS
N. G. TRENCHARD AND GEORGE
DUKEK PASS AWAY DURING
PAST WEEK.
JOE. ANDREWS ANSWERS CALL
Mrs. George Sites Dies At Her Home
In Richland Township After
Long Illness.
NATHANIEL TRENCHARD.

Among those recently summoned
from our ranks by the final call is
Mr.. Nathaniel Trenchard, or Nate"
Trenchard as he was familiarly known
for years. He was a native of Steuben
county, New York, where he was born
Oct. II, 1889. When a boy of IA, ne
came with his parents to this county,
his father enterting a section OF land
which covered part Of the present
site of West Manchester. Somewhat
later young Trenchard entered the
employ Of Mr.. S. A. Steadman. learn
ed the trade OF harness maker, and
remained with him for 27 years.
Mr.. Trenchard was one of the few
surviving pioneers of Manchester. He
saw the town when 1t was little more
than skelton Of future prospects,
and as the years went by he not only
witnessed it's growth but contributed
his Individual share toward its up
building. On February 81, 1854 he
married Miss Mary Boardman, who
was critically i'll at the time OF her
husbands death. In addition to his
wife, he is survived by one son, Roy,
OF Groton, s. D., by three daughters,
Mrs. Mabel Robertson, Of Thorpe, Mrs.
Viola Griffin, of Waterloo, Mrs. Ethel
McDonough of Barrenett, Wis, and
by two stepsons, Harry Buck OF Gro
ton, Everett Waterhouse, and by
q grand daughter, Thelma Griffin, OF
Waterloo. Another daughter died IN
1894
Mr.. Trenchard was one Of our civil
war veterans, whose ranks have all
but disappeared. His military exper-
fence was of an unusual character.
Happening to be in Atlanta, Georgia,
when hostilities began, he was I'M
pressed into the Confederate service,
and in one of the early engagements
he happened to be on one side while
his brother, Henry, was on the other,
But he took advantage OF the first OPP
portunity that came to- him to de-
sert. as he had no desire to wear the
gray noT fight for Tire .-easseF which
It represented. He made his way back
to Manchester. and later, in Oct. 1854,
enlisted in Co. I, Second Iowa Cavalry,
and served on the side Of his choice
until the end Of the conflict.
For time Mr.. Trenchard had suf-
sered from the gradual enfeebleness
of old age, and death came to his
relief on Wednesday, May 7th. Fu-
neral services were conducted by the
Rev. H. F. Mcdonald on Sunday af-
ternoon in the North Manchester chap
ell, and interment made in Oakland
cemetery. During his long years of
residence in this community, MT.
Trenchard became known and respect
ed as man Of many sterling quail
ties, and host of friends extend their
sympathy to the aged and bereaved
wife and her. children.

MRS. WILLIAM B. SITES.

Last Friday, May 9th, 1919, occurred
the death of Jane Elizabeth Sites, IN
her home in Richland township, after
long weary years Of total helplessness
caused by a stroke of paralysis on
November 18th, 1908. Through all
these years she bore her affliction pa
tiently, and was profoundly apprecia-
tive of the loving care and attention
given her by the members Of her fam
ily and by kind neighbors and friends
She was daughter Of Andrew and
Elizabeth Ginger, and was born May
IL. 1853. With the exception OF the
first few months, she spent her entire
life in Delaware county. On Novem-
Der 16, 1881, she became the wife OF
William B. Sites, Five children we're
born to them, three of whom togeth-
er with the husband are still living.
They are Cyrus, Of Bonetrail, n. D.
and Iva and James, who are stlll at
home. She also leaves one grand
daughter, one brother, Daniel Ginger,
of Hartley, Iowa, and one sister,
Mrs. Phoebe Adams of California, as
we'll as numerous other relatives. At
the funeral services, which were held
last Monday afternoon, there were
present from distance Mrs. Abbie
Ginger and her SON William from
Sutherland. Iowa; Mr., and Mrs. Daniel
Ginger of Hartley, Bert Goffe, OF Ce-
dar Rapids; A. ]. Lett of Delhi, Mr.
and Mrs. Allen Penrod and daughter,
Mildred, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sherrer'
and Mrs. Geo. Groetzinger, all OF Win
hrop.
During her active years, Mrs. Sites
was not only faithful wife and moth
er, but kind and helpful neighbor
and friend, always ready to lend assis-
tance to the unfortunate. She was an
earnest Christian, who tried to live
her faith. Those who have known her
intimately feel that good woman has
gone to her well-earned rest.

REFER TO KING AS
FAT KING EDDY
(By Associated Press)

EDINBURGH, Oct. 31-Lord Guth
rie, the Scottish judge, has just made
public some "reminiscences of the lat'
Andrew Carnegie, in which he dis
poses of a story which has long beer
current, that Mr. Carnegie received
the late King Edward at Skibo witt
the salutation, "Hail, fat King Eddy
Lord Guthrie tells what the story is
based on as follows:
''At Dunrobin, not at Skibo, his late
majesty asked Mr.. Carnegie to tel
him about great banquet given in
Mr.. Carnegie's honor at Pittsburgh
Mr.. Carnegie mentioned that Joaquin
Miller, the American poet, had re-
cited poem in which ne made free
with Carnegie's own meme and with
the names of many much more illus
trious persons.
"The king asked: What did Miller
say about me?'
"Mr. Carnegie replied that he was
afraid the poets reference had not
been very respectful.
"'What was it?' said his majesty,
and he laughed heartily when Mr.
Carnegie had to admit that King
Edward had been referred to as Fat
King Eddy"

SELLERS ABROAD

American tires are keeping step in
popularity in foreign lands with Miner
lean automobiles Last year the Unit
ed States Tire Company sent its pro
duct to forty countries scattered
throughout the world. The removal of
shipping restrictions is expected to re-
suit in adding twenty-five or thirty
countries to the lost during the current
year,
A few DAYS ago an Iceland automo-
bile dealer paid a visit to the New
York office of the United States Tire
Company and ordered full tire equip
ment for fifty cars, He said that this
brand of tire was regarded as the quail
ty brand" in his country.
Turning to the southern hemisphere
it is noted that Il recent issue of La
Nacion,' the leading newspaper of san
tiago, Chill, carried a half page article
telling of the wonderful performance
of a Scripps- Booth car in a test run of
1899 kilometers over the mountain
roads of that country.
At the conclusion of the run the driy-
er remarked. Il must mention that
during the entire run from Conception
to Coquimbo-a distance of about
1900 miles--we had only one puncture.
The tires We're United States Royal
Cords and we think it our duty to
speak of their quality"
While this approval for the popular
American tire is being given in the far
South and distant North, unusual test
in onials are given from the tropics,
where long tire life is generally regard
ed as impossible because of high tenn
peratures. One United States tire in
Manila has already given 16,300 miles
on a heavy garage car. Another went
10.200 miles without being taken off
the wheel. A Royal Cord gave $4,000
miles under most severe conditions of
road and weather. The largest trans
portation company in the Philippines
states that 1900 miles is the average
mileage with United States fabric tires.
