BIDS ASKED FOR
MANCHESTER bridge
LETTING WILL TAKE PLACE HERE
THURSDAY. NUMEROUS con-
TRACTORS AFTER JOB.
HANDSOME STRUCTURE PLANNED.
State Highway Commission and Marsh
Engineering Company Submitted
Plans for Bridge.

On Thursday, November 18th, the
board Of supervisors will receive bids
for the erection of the new bridge
across the Maquoketa river at this
place. Two plans have been. submitted
to the county, on which bids will be
received. One of these plans is drawn
by the State Highway commission, and
the other by the Marsh Engineering
Company. The plan submitted by the
latter company seems to be the one
that meets the approval Of most Of
the people, and when the bridge is
built 1t will be complete job,
since it includes cemented roadway
and the approaches filled. The new
bridge will be a two span structure,
each span being 81 feet in length.
It will be Of concrete and will have
two sidewalks, one on each side Of
the main driveway. 1t really begins to
look as il the new bridge would be
built during the winter and spring.
In any event, the old bridge is about
ready to give up the ghost, and some
thing will have to be done. and that
right soon.

A MUCH NEEDED INTERNATIONAL
EVENT.

Peerless among expositions the In.
ternational Live Stock event at Chi
| cago the first week OF December has
during the past twenty years afforded
an annual spectacle of animal life that
has attracted several hundred thou
! sand visitors from all over the United
States and Canada with a generous
representation from Europe and the
Southern hemisphere. Its primary
purpose is to stimulate interest in live
stock husbandry and promote food
production; incidently it has been
Chicago's greatest drawing card, COM
bining not only a gigantic live stock
display, but a score or more of conven-
tions Of 1--we stock associations whereat
the policy Of these organizations is
formulated. No other event attracts
as many visitors to Chicago. people
with substantial purchasing capacity,
as the international"
Twenty years ago the live stock in
terest in the United States was
decadent. Interest infused by the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition ex-
cited a prompt revivifying influence;
the valuable seed stock of the United
States was not only preserved, but re-
inforced by generous, importations
from Europe, where American breed
ers, animated by a common purpose,
purchased the best that the market
offered. Today the herds and flocks
Of the United States are second to
none.
The International Live Stock Ex-
position is more essential to the well
fare and progress Of the industry now
than at the period Of its inception.
War-period drain has put the indus
try in position where <recuperation
\ Nhampered by financial stringency, is
imperative. In that emergency the
United States fed the world; under
new conditions the live stock industry
must address itself to the task OF re-
plenishing the larder of over 100000
900 people and without the stimulation
afforded and interest created constant
" by the International Live Stock Ex-
position this will be impossible, The
display of animal life at Chicago, No

R. o. GREEN, SECRETARY FIT. DOD.
GE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
TALKS BEFORE CLUB.
STUDY CENTED HELD SATURDAY.
Clothing Merchants Cut Prices on
Mems Wearing Apparel. Forty
Per Cent on OyercOats.

Armistice Day was fittingly observ-
ed in Manchester last Thursday, with
appropriate exercises at HOO in the
forenoon and at 1880 in the evening
in the Congregational Church, and a
big dance at the armory later in the
evening. A feature Of Armistice Day
which made everyone feel good was
the grand trimming the Manchester
High School foot ball team gave a
similar team from Independence. The
trimming was to the tune of 26 to O.
Dr. r j. Campbell, rector Of Grace
Episcopal church of Cedar Rapids. was
the speaker of the evening. The exc
cutive committee of the commercial
club, the pastors of the churches Of
Manchester, and several ex-service
men OF the late war had dinner with
DR.. Campbell at the Clarence hotel
at $3.50. and thoroughly enjoyed an
hour with DR.. Campbell before repair
ing to the church where the program
was giyen..
The program at the church was made
doubly interesting as we'll as enter
tanning by the numbers given by the
High school glee club, the pupils Of
the Fourth Grade, the reading by Miss
Milroy, and the solo number by Mrs.
r. G.. Harris. Mrs. G. G. Yoran pre-
sided at the piano for the musical
numbers.
Rev. H. L. Goughnour presided over
the meeting, and in a few we'll chosen
words introduced the speaker to the
audience, which taxed the seating
capacity DR.. Campbell gave one Of the
ablest addresses ever given in Man
chester. The fund of first-hand in
formation which he procured while
in Europe last summer enables him
to give an address which is of more
than ordinary interest to his hearers.
He painted in we'll chosen words the
horrible scenes yet to be found in Eur
ope, and spoke of the heroic sacrifices
made by the people of France, Bel
GUM, England and Itaiy, and how they
are facing the great problems OF re-
construction at this time. He. spoke
feelingly of the part the soldiers OF
America played in the great war and
how the people Of France, particularly,
appreciated the coming Of the Ameri-
can, troops, just at time when 1t
seemed as though the enemy would
be able to win out. DR.. Campbelrs
address was most appropriate for the
occasion, and it is to be hoped that
Manchester people will have the privi-
lege OF hearing him again at some
future time.
