CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY.

About fifty OF the old time neigh
bors of Mr.. and Mrs. George Under
wood. from Quasqueton, Newtonville,
and Rowley, Buchanan County, drove
to Manchester Sunday and perpetrated
a new surprise on their old neighbors.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Underwood, and
to assist him in properly celebrating
his 69th birthday. Mr. Underwood's
birthday really falls on July 29th, but
in view of the fact that farmers at this
time of year are rather busy with
crops. they came on Sunday. The
company brought well filled baskets
of all kinds OF good things to eat, and
a meal fit for king was spread by the
ladies of the party.
Mr.. Underwood was born in the
state of Ohio, July 29th, 1851. When
he was boy thirteen years of age he
came to Manchester and learned the
carpenter trade: He worked on many
of the first buildings in Manchester.
some of which are still standing. In
talking with Mr.. Underwood he told
us that he was one of the carpenters
who helped in the erection of the orig
inal building which the First Con5re-
gational church erected in Manches-
ter, on the same lot on which the
handsome new edifice is now being
completed. He also worked on the
Riddell building now occupied by w.
l.. Drew. the Thorpe building. now the
handsome First National Bank build
ing, and others we might mention.
One day while at work as a carpen-
ter he fell and struck his limb on the
cutting edge of draw shave, and in
lection developed in the wound, so
that his limb had to be amputated.
This made it impossible for him to
pursue the carpenters trade, and he
was forced to engage in other lines
of work. For some years. during his
younger days, he farmed in Buchanan
county, and later had to give up the
strenuous labors on the farm, and then
he took up the barber trade and shoe
repairing. Mr.. Underwood, in spite
of most serious handicap, is one Of
the most Industrious of older men in
He is at his work every
day in the week, from early morning
until evening. Mr.. Underwood has
seen Manchester grown into the nice
little city it is today from a little viii
liage on the prairie. His many
friends congratulate him upon having
reached his 69th birthday and hope
that he may live to celebrate many |
more.

LENOX STUDENTS MEET.

Last Friday a number Of ladies', who
were in Lenox College together during
the years of '6S to II, were invited to
spend the day with Mrs. Clara Haeber-
lie, at Manchester. They had not all
been together since those days. AS
they visited, two score and more of
OF years rolled away and they were
school girls again in Imagination.
They talked of old teachers and old
friends long passed away, and also
of those still living. Old college pic
lures were looked over and enjoyed,
and before they separated it was
agreed to have other meetings of a
similar nature. Those present were
Mrs. Clara Johnson Brazelton, Mrs.
Hattie Faucet Nye, Mrs. Della Rec
tor Sargent, of Manchester; Mrs. Kate
Galpin Perkins and Mrs. Hattie Doo-
little Furman, of Delhi; and Mrs.
Clara Harmon Campbell of Hopkinton.
Another guest was Mrs. Josephine
Swinburne Rector, whose husband,
John Rector, was Lenox Student,
and our hostess, Mrs. Clara Haeberle.
to whom we are all indebted for a
most enjoyable day, spent in memory

JUDGE BOIES DOOMED FOR CON-
GRESS.
(Waterloo Times-Tribune.)

WdIcllOO ibuhC.J
Friends of Judge Herbert B. Boies
have started, a quiet boom for him as
democratic candidate for congressman
from the Third Congressional district
-of Iowa. The democrats of the Third
Congressional district will meet in
Waterloo next Wednesday to select
candidate to oppose Congressman
Burton e. Sweet The democrats failed
to nominate candidate at the June
primary and the convention was called
for the purpose of filling the vacancy.
The boom for Judge Boies has been
started without the latter's consent,
but his friends believe he is the
strongest man in the district and pro-
minent democrats in Dubuque declare
he would receive handsome majority
in Dubuque county and would run
strong throughout the district.
Judge Boies has been urged to enter
past political campaigns but steadfast-
ly refused to become a candidate. The
only office he has held is that OF the
district court Judge, which position
he is now occupying. He was first
elected in 1914 to fill vacancy and
was reelected in 1916. He has two
more years to serve.
Judge Boies is the son of Honorable
Horace Boies, only democrat governor
of Iowa elected since 1855.

PROSPECTS fine
FOR BIGGEST FAIR
STOCK AND HOG MEN ARE MAX
ING RESERVATIONS FOR Pen
AND STALL ROOM.
PREMIUM BOOKS OFF THE PRESS
Big Program OF Free Acts, Fireworks,
Ball Games, and Other Features
Are Being Planned for Event.

The first few hundred copies of the
1920 Fair premium books are off the
press and are now in Secretary E. w.
Williams office in the Armory build
ing, and every farmer or merchant in
terested in the fair and it's exhibits
should apply to Mr.. Williams for a
copy Of the book. The Fair society
does not believe in wasting paper and
printed material, and had enough cop
les printed to meet the demands, but
the officers feel that it would be vast
ing good paper stock to distribute
them premiscuously as has been the
custom in years past. The book is
a real one, with a large amount OF
advertising by the merchants, banks.
breeders and automobile dealers of
the county. The committee in charge
of the publishing of the premium book
arranged the advertisements and the
premium list in such a way as to
make of the book a mighty effective
advertising medium. The books are
going to be distributed all over the
county, which also makes them more
valuable from the advertisers stand
point. Without this generous amount
of advertising it would have been i'm
possible to publish a premium book
which would be a credit to our fair.
The officers of the fair society want
every farmer in Delaware County in
terested in the fair, and everyone in
terested should have book, and all
that is necessary for them to do is
either phone Mr.. Williams or address
a postal card to him and book will
be mailed at once.
There is no question that the 1920
fair will be the greatest in the history
of the county. Already large num-
ber Of the stalls in the cattle and
horse barns. and pens in the hog barn
are engaged. 1t is highly important
that all farmers who wish to exhibit
at the fair make their reservations at
once, and thus insure getting space
in the two large buildings,
Secretary Williams is busy framing
up his immense program Of free acts
and other attractions, and when he
gets his entire program lined up it will
be the biggest and best ever given at
any county fair. One of the big fea-
lures this year. will be the Thear!e
Duffied Fire Works Company's re-
production Of the battle of the Moni-
tor and the Merrimac. This is a S10,- |

Iowa that has booked this unusual
The fair this year will be held on
August 31st, and September 1st, End,
ard 3rd. We again wish to call at
tention to the fact that breeders who
wish to exhibit their stock do not de-
lay in making reservations, If they
wish to have their exhibits placed in
the large buildings.

BIG ATTRACTION FOR FAIR.

Mans first boat was log. Then it
was two logs lashed together with
vines Then it developed into raft,
and finally, after no one knows how
many years, man followed out single
log with fire, shaped its ends and had
a canoe. Later some bright genius
thought of paddle, and a still bright
er one got the idea of making two pad
dies and using them for oars. Still
later someone discovered the sail and
used it. But the timeskof remote an
tiquity until the middle of the nine
teenth Century-and that is only yes
terday--the men who went down to
ships. Then came the year of 1862
and the civil war. The confederates
put powerful iron ram on ship and
called it the Merrimac To conquer
the Merrimac and check its sea raw

worlds first iron ship, the Monitor

practically, of the worlds use Of
wooden ships. Today most of the
ships are made of steel. John Erics-
son brought in new age, and the
battle that ushered it in, the battle of
the Monitor and the Merrimac, is to
be presented at the Delaware County
Fair in fireworks, complete in every
detail, by the Thearle-Duffield Fire
works Company OF Chicago, on Tues
day, Wednesday, and Thursday, Aug
ust 81, and September 1st and End.
Much care has been used in staging
the spectacle and there is much at
tention to historical accuracy. The
ships that contend in the engagement
are fireworks ships, mighty craft
from the forge of Vulcan, and in the
roaring guns, the fluttering flags, the
kaledioscoptic play of color, the pan
Drama of thrill and glamor, all these
are also in fireworks. The spectacle is
a masterpiece of the historic art as
worked out in pyrotechnics.

who rank high as marksmen and Of
ficers in the United States Army, have
been called back into service and left
Sunday night for Camp Perry, Ohio.
The service into which they We're call

to give instruction in a general way
in the handling Of small arms, during
the National Matches between teams

DUBUQUE COUNTY FAIR TO RE-
SUBJECTED.
Extraordinarily

The Dubuque county farm bureau
will form a corporation in the near
future and issue stock in order to
carry on county fair in Dubuque
county, it was announced this morn
ing. The state law giTes county
farm bureaus the right to form COR
portions for the purpose of holding
county fairs and also authorizes the
state to add certain amount to the
premiums offered by the bureau in
order to stimulate interest in the
growing of grain and raising Of live
stock
In cases where the fair offers ST.
900 in premiums, the state adds 40
per cent of the total to this amount
to help pay for prizes. When $4,000
is offered the states contribution is
cut to 60 per cent. State aid ends,
however, when it's payment is more
than $4,000.
1t is expected the county farm
bureau will file articles of corpora
tion and sell stock in a very short
time. 1t is the first time this plan has
been worked out in Dubuque county
since the state law was passed.

RILEY STEELE.

Amos Riley Steele was born on
March /, 1861, and passed away at
his home, three miles north of Edge

Lester Young of Manchester, Iowa,
and Mrs. Bert Shepherd of Cedar
Falls, Iowa. and other more distant
relatives. But the mourners are not

had lived for many years in the vici-
nifty of the place where he died and
he enjoyed the confidence and friend
ship of all who knew him. He was
honest and generous, always willing
to do a good turn, and his passing
leaves vacant place in the fellow
ship of many.
The funeral services according to
his desire were simple in character.
1t was conducted at his home by the
Rev. S. c. Bretnall on Friday after
noon, July 23rd Many friends gath

and sympathy for his loved ones in
their sorrow. The body was laid be-,
