The Manchester Commercial club
met at Elton G. Roe's Globe Cafe on
Monday evening in regular session. 1t

point of attendance this year, nearly
fifty of the members being present.
Mr.. Roe served an appetizing dinner,
and has one of the most conveniently
arranged rooms for gatherings OF this
character.
Following the reading OF the secre-
tary's minutes Of the last regular
meeting several items of business were
taken up. One Of the first items was
the setting OF date at which Mr.. E. Il
Moore Of Cedar Rapids might come
here and when he could speak to the
people Of Manchester, and not con-
flict with previously arranged activ-
tiles.
In the absence from the meeting Of

sent their propositions for final ac-
tion.
The question of permitting Sunday

THE RIGHT KIND.
(Iowa City Citizen,)

If the republicans OF the Buchanan
Delaware senatorial district are look
ing for well qualified men for the Of
flee Of state senator they will find the
right kind Of candidate in George 8.
Banta, of Manchester and they coud
do no better than to nominate and
elect him.
The announcement Of Mr.. Banta's s
candidacy for the senate is viewed by
the Citizen as logical result Of his
training and environment. He grew
up on farm near Manchester. worked
his way through the University liberal
arts college and law school by service
on The Citizen as city editor, spent
some additional years in the advertis-
ing and newspaper field at Cheyenne
ands Denver, practiced Ian for about
two years with the firm of Wade,
butcher and Davis, in Iowa City and
then returned to "his first love-" the
farm, in the county where he was
born, having arrived at the conclusion
that no other occupation presents a
better opportunity for the ambitious
young man who appreciates it's adyan-
tages.
Mr. Banta was conspicuous stu
dent in college, and has done some
credible literary work, being con-
tributor to national publications and
farm papers for number Of years.
While member of the city council OF
Iowa City he displayed capacity for
public business that was marked by
common sense and financial wisdom
AS chairman of the finance committee
he worked out one of the first city bud
gets attempted here. He gets along
with folks aid impresses them as the
kind of man to tie to. He has a high
ideal of citizenship and an ambition to
be of service to the community. In
thorough sympathy with the farmers 5
side Of the problems of the day, he also
knows town and city life.
The business men and farmers OF
the Buchanan-Delawar district will
seldom find a man who is so well
equipped to understand the problems
of Iowa, agricultural, educational,
business and legal, whatever their
character, as George S. Banta. When
he went back to the farm several years
ago The Citizen predicted that some
day he would be called upon to help
make laws for Iowa people. We
stick to that prophesy. whatever the
outcome of the campaign this year.
Banta is the right kind OF material
for legislative work and the more men
we have like him in the legislature the
better 1t will be for the state Of Iowa.

MISS RUTH PAXSON IN THE
STATES

Word was received in Manchester
last week that Miss Ruth Paxson, Y.
w. C. A. Missionary in China, had ar
rived in California the latter part OF
the week, for two months of mission
cry work in the United States. Miss
Paxson has been doing noble work
among the girls in China for several
years. Her friends in Manchester
will be greatly delighted to see her
during her brief stay in this country.
Miss Paxson Is chairman Of the H.
nance committee having In charge the

TEACHERS GET BOOST IN SAL
ARIES.

At a meeting Of the School Board OF
the Independent District of Manches-
ter, held recently, it was voted to give
the teachers Of the grades and High
school material increase In their
pay. The salaries of the High school
teachers was increased about twenty
per cent, while the grade teachers
salaries were boosted about $1,000 per
month. This increase will add about
SIS 900 to the entire amount paid the
teachers in the schools of the 1nde-
pendent district Of Manchester, and
will necessarily mean that the taxes
will be somewhat higher We believe.
however, that no fair minded person
in Manchester will take exceptions to
the action of the school board. A
school teacher today cannot live on a
salary paid in 1914, or even as late as
1917 or 1918. Teachers and superin-
tendents all over the country are get
ting material advances in wages, and
where school boards refuse to grant
the increase one can find school
houses with their doors closed, and
those who once filled the positions Of
teachers engaged in other and more
remuneratiye work.
Many OF the teachers were reelected
at the meeting Of the board, while
others were undecided as to whether
they would sign up the contracts Of
fered. We understand that the sec
retary of the board had large num-
Der Of applications for positions in the
grades, but that there seemed to be a
real shortage of teachers for High
school.
Superintendent j. s. Hilliard, who
has given such universal satisfaction
to the patrons of the school. is being
retained as the head Of the schools
under contract that has two years to
run. Mr. Hilliard is a capable school
man and the patrons Of the district
consider themselves exceedingly for
tunate in having a man Of his stamp
at the head OF the school system.
There is possibility that the
schools of Manchester will lose the
services of Miss Florence Riddell. who
has been the principal OF the High
school for several years. Miss Rid
dell is one of the most capable and
conscientious teachers our schools
have ever had. She possesses that
happy faculty of winning the conf
dence of the student body, and is emil
nently fitted by careful training, years
of experience, and a strong personality
for the position she has so well filled.
Efforts are being made to persuade
Miss Riddell not to leave the local
schools. and the Democrat. in common
with the patrons, hopes that she may
be persuaded to remain.

STREET CAR FIGHT GOES INTO
COURT.

: The street railway strike in the city
of Dubuque is as far from settlement
as it was the day after the men went
on strike five weeks ago, and it is
likely that the difficulty will have to
be thrashed out in the courts. While
this is being done the public will be
obliged to get about the city as best it
can. The citizens Of Dubuque have
appealed to the company for immed-
late restoration of service, but to no
avail.

Time Is The Test
The Testimony Of Westminster PeO-
pie Stands the Test.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
misrepresentation are made, and
merit alone will stand the test of
time.
Westminster people appreciate mer-
1t, and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney
Pills; they do so still. Would a citi-
zen make the statement which fol-
lows unless convinced that the article
was just as represented? Below is
testimony such as the sufferer from
kidney ills is looking for.
Jesse Stultz, Pennsylvania ave.,
Westminster, says: MY kidneys acted
irregularly and the secretions were
unnatural. My back ached and 1
had pains in my side. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me at once. l continu-
ed using them and was soon better"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Stultz said: "Doan's Kidney Pills are
wonderful. l never have to take a
kidney remedy now because of the
excellent work of Doan's."

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

He Recognized Her

The farmer was on city trip, and
his city friends told him that he could
talk to his wife two hundred and fifty
miles away. But the farmer smiled. If
he was from the country he was no
fool So they called up central, asked
the operator to connect with his house
and in fifteen minutes his wife res
ponded.
"Now, then" said one of the friends,
E'you just take the phone and ask:
Hello, Lena, is that you?"
So the farmer took the receiver,
asked the question, and, a great
storm raging outside, it happened at
that moment that "a bolt of lightning
struck the wire and nearly stunned
the farmer. When he recovered he
looked at his friends and said quietly:
81 believe you folks. That was Lena
all right"
