A PROCLAMATION

To the People of Iowa:
The United States was the first
government to insist that education
should be free to all the children and
young people of the country, and at
public expense.
Iowa is justly proud that under the
free public school system she has
practically no illiterates in her pop
ulation.
The question of mental training
OF the individual is vital not only to
that individual but to the country
generally. The state, as an institu-
ton, is concerned in the training of
the citizen, for if he is prepared to
take a responsible place in life the
welfare of all society is improved.
Iowa is equipped to give free of
charge to every person under TWEEN
ty-one years of age good practical
! education. The state, through the
school authorities, has invested in
buildings and equipment over fifty
million dollars. Annually, there is
raised and expended for school pur-
poses over fourteen million dollars.
The state has made and is making
this great investment so that every
child within the borders of the state
may have mind trained not only for
utility but to get the greatest amount
of pleasure out of life.
Through the office of the superin-
tendent of public instruction and the
| United States Boys Working Re-
serve, there is a movement in the
state to see to it that all persons of
school age be seen and urged to avail
themselves of the advantages offer
ed by the public schools. In this
connection, effort is being made to
help those who for financial reasons
cannot see their way clear to attend
school.
This great movement is worthy OF
the attention and assistance of every
! citizen of the state. He who helps
but one person to secure an adequate
education has contributed to the sum
total of world happiness.
To make this large monetary in
vestment pay dividends in enlarged
opportunities for the boys and girls
of the state, urge every citizen,
and especially school authorities and
teachers to see to it that the advant-
ages offered are made known to all
in their community.
ernor of the state of Iowa, by virtue
of authority inu me vested, hereby
set apart the week beginning Au-
gust 10th inclusive, as
Back to School Week"
and urge that all our people make it
their business to see to it that adj
vantages offered in the public schools
be used by those to whom they are
made available.
In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State
of Iowa.
Done at Des Moines this 22nd day
of July, A. d. 1919.

MOVE TO NEW HOME

The latter part of this week Mr..
and Mrs. F. j. MantZ and family,
who have been residents of Manning
for the past ten years, will move
to town in Clayton county,
Strawberry Point, where they have
bought a newspaper. Their new To-
cation is in a town not quite as
large as Manning, but the surround
ing territory is more thickly settled.
All in all the new field is better than
the one here when the town had two
papers.
Strawberry Point has but one pa
per and it is a county official paper.
In the ten years that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mantz were residents of Manning
and owners of the Manning Monitor,
they were very successful finan-
cially and it would surprise the av-
erage person if they knew just how
much wealth that Mr.. and Mrs.
Mantz took with them when they de-
parted-for they surely made their
paper pay.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mantz tell us they
greatly regret to leave Manning as
it will take them years before they
can form the strong ties of friend
ship like those they leave behind.
While in Manning Mr.. and Mrs
Mantz took an active interest in the
welfare of the town and country
Mrs. Mantz being a member of the
Woman's Club and Mr.. Mantz being
chairman of both the local Red
Cross Chapter and the Manning
Commercial Club.
In their new home they will soon
grow into the community, making
it better by their having lived in it,
The best wishes of many friends

Notes of the Game
Kelly certainly played nice game
at first and got two nice hits at bat.
Kaufman also played nice game
in the field and at bat. He is always
there when il comes to putting pep
into the game no matter how 1t is go
ing for the home team.
Some of the boys were little
weak with the stick Sunday and we
believe that good stiff batting prac-
tice would not be amiss occasion
ally.
Kile, the old timer, played right
field for Dedham Sunday and did
nice job of it too.
We understand that the gate re-
cepits were the best of the season
which shows that the boys have the
support of the fans here.
Take away the unlucky sixth and
the game would have been hum
mer.
Everybody requested to be out
Sunday and furnish the enthusiasm
for a boost to win from the fast Dem
ison team.
