LIEUT.. AND MRS. MILLER HAVE
HAIR.RAISING EXPERIENCE.

Miss Henriette Miller of this city is
in receipt of very interesting letter
from her brother and his wife, in
which they tell of an experience they
will not care to pass through again.
Lieutenant Miller has been with the
American Forces in Coblenz, since the
close of the war, and last spring Mrs.
Miller joined him in Europe. Mr.. and
Mrs Miller have been making the most
of their opportunity in seeing the
countries so rich in history, especially
since the recent world war. Among
the pass-times they planned to indulge
in was trip in large passenger-car-
rying plane from Paris to London.
Everything went lovely with the great
plane until it neared the English Chan
mel, when something went wrong, and
the pilot was forced to make landing
as best he could. When the plane
finally landed they were on the edge
of the English channel, with no one
injured. At the time the plane broke
they were 5000 feet in the air, and
it is only natural that the passengers
wondered if they would ever reach the
earth safely
Mrs. Miller writes that their visit
to Holland was very much enjoyed.
Holland seemed to be less effected by
the great war than some of the other
smaller countries, and that things
there seemed more like they do in the
good old United States.

children are given another home the
parents will be prosecuted. Mr.. Bailey
a grass widower according to the
county attorney, has been living with
Mrs. Hammond and this situation may
result nj charges on that score.
When questioned by the county at
torney, Mr.. Bailey and Mrs. Hammond
declared they had tied up the boys
Monday because they got into mischief
whenever their parents were away
from the place. They denied, however.
that they had ever used such extreme
means before and said the younger
children had not been treated that way.
When rescued by boy scouts after hav-
ing been chained up for eleven hours,
the Bailey boy was suffering acutely
of fly bites and the effects of the heat
and no food or water. He has prac-
ticaily recovered by now, however,
Eichendors said today.
The community is greatly incensed
over the case, which is said to be the
worst one Of child abuse in years in
eastern Iowa, and it is anticipated
that there will be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning a place for the children, al
though none OF them, it is said, have
had anything more than the most
rudimentary education and training.
Mrs. Helen White of Cleveland.
Ohio, is. visiting at the Rolf home on
East Union street.

of Mr. Vogt of this city, held services

Amelia E. Berry was born in Sher-
man, Chautauqua County, New York,
August 2Sth, 1845. When she was
nine years of age her parents came
to the county and located on farm
in Richland Township. Here she
grew to womanhood, and at the age OF
sixteen she was united in marriage
with Mr.. Sylvester Tony. who passed
away at Sioux City about eight years
ago. Following their marriage they
resided in or near Strawberry Point
for many years. In later years Mr..
and Mrs. Tony spent much OF their
time among their children at Omaha
and Sioux City.
Mrs. Tony is survived by three chill
dren-M Mrs. Ola Hill of Sioux City,
Mrs. Orpha May of Manchester, and
Mr.. Jay A. Tony. of Ottawa, Illinois.
One daughter, Mrs. Aura Pelley, died

Mrs. Tony, in common with the early

performed her tasks nobly. When her
family first came to Richland township
the nearest post Office was Delhi, with
Col. John Fl. Peters acting as the post
master Two buildings had been
erected on what was then known as
Burlington, now Manchester. Mrs.
Tony was devoted to her home and
those in the home, and when neigh

and willing to give them aid and COM
fort. During her declining days she
was tenderly cared for by her two
daughters who waited upon her con-
stantly.
Those who mourn because of her
death have the sympathy of many
friends.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HOLDS MEET.
ING

The regular meeting of the Man
chester Commercial club was held at
the Globe Hotel cafe on Monday eve
ming. Following the dinner the rou-
tine business of the club was taken,
up,among the items was the reading OF
a statement of receipts and disburse-
ments of the Fourth Of July celebra-
tion. This report shows that in spite
of the somewhat unfavorable weather
on the Fourth, the celebration netted a
profit, the proceeds of which will be
used to carry suitable water mains
onto the grounds for protection
against fire and to supply sufficient
water for stock at the fair.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
the merchants would close their places
of business from one until four on Fri
day, July 29th, in order to give all an
opportunity to attend the big picnic
put on by the Delaware County Farm
Bureau.
On account of the hot weather it
was voted to hold only one regular
meeting during the month of August,
and that to be on the date of the sec
ond regular meetind.

INHUMAN TREATMENT OF CHILD.
REN
Cedar Rapids Gazette)

Investigation by w. l.. Eichendors,
county attorney at Elkader in the
case of David Hammond, 13, and Floyd
Bailey, IL, who were found chained to
a tree at their home near Edgewood
Monday, is being directed to obtaining
a home for the children, after which
the question of prosecution of the par
ents of the two who are alleged to have
tied them up and left them to the
mercy of the sun, flies and insects
will be taken up.
1--WE must get home for the child
rem first" said Mr.. Eichendors when
called ON the long distance telephone.
"We are going to try to find places for
all five as Mrs. Bailey has three and
Mr.. Hammond two, the two who were
chained being the oldest. For the
present the Bailey and Hammond boys
have been returned to their home, but
according to the county attorney the
parents apparently will offer no resist
ance to the children being taken away
from them.
While it was expected that pre-
Iiminary hearing would be held yes
terday afternoon on a charge to be
filed against the parents, the invesu-
cation did not get that far and as yet
no charge has been made, although Mr..
Eichendors said that even though the

FARM BUREAU PIC.
MIC FRI, july 29TH
G. W. HUNT, PRES. IOWA FARM
BUREAU FEDERATION, TO BE
ONE OF SPEAKERS
PROGRAM PLANNED
Peder Peterson Of Cedar Falls to Ad.
dress Farmers on Timely Subject.
Large Attendance Expected.

County Agent Robert Combs has
been working hard in perfecting the
arrangements for the big Farm Bu-
reau Picnic to be held on the Fair
Grounds on Friday, July 29th. Ar
rangements have been made to have
two men who are known far and
wide, here on that day. One OF these
men is Mr.. C. w. Hunt, president OF
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. Mr..
Hunt has made numerous trips to
Washington, D. c., in the interests OF
the many thousands of farmers he
represents. He is man well posted
on subjects of vital Importance to
farmers especially at this time. The
other man of state wide reputation Is
Mr.. Peder Peterson of Cedar Falls. He
too, is we'll posted on problems con-
fronting the farmers. Now that the
harvesting and haying is practically
over with, every farmer should make
a special effort to be at the picnic and
hear what these men have to say.
In addition to the two speakers
named, entertainment has been provid-
ed for the children and for the older
folks. There will be plenty of band
music by the Dyersville band, merry
go-round ball games and races.
Following is the program and
brief outline Of the days events:

MANCHESTER CITY CARRIER is
HPINCHED.

The local post office force has been
having more or less sport with one OF
their number, Denny Pride, one OF
the city carriers 1t appears that Mr..
Pride and his family drove to Dubuque
last Saturday, and MIR. Pride was OF
the opinion that one would be allowed
to park his car in front of some bus
mess house and leave it for half day
at a stretch. Mr.. Pride and his pass
engers left their car on Main Street
and then proceeded to take in the
city and after period OF six hours
they were ready to start for home. On
entering the car Mr.. Pride discovered
a traffic cop had visited the machine
and left his card and business address.
Mr.. Pride was afraid to move his car,
but went directly to police headquart-
ers. where he was given his first lesson
in parking cars in the city, and when
asked where he left the car he in
formed the police officers that the
machine was parked in the same iden-
tical spot where he left it upon ar
riying in the city. The officers at once
knew that they had tenderfoot to
deal with so very kindly asked him to
get his car off Main Street, and no fine
would be assessed for his first offense.
If that offense had been committed by
a newspaper man he would have been
fined so heavily that he would have
been obliged to remain in the city for
an indefinite time.
We believe that Mr.. Pride could with
profit enroll in Ranns School of Auto
Engineering. Any man who will
drive a car to city and leave 1t on
the main business street for SIX hours
and when he is "pinched' is unable 10
comprehend the fact, should enter the
kindergarten department of some en-
gineer school where he would be
taught the rules of the road.

KIP. PICNIC IS SUCCESS

A large crowd of Knights of Pythias
and their friends were on the Fair
Grounds last Friday, for the annual
X. P. Picnic. The Lamont band was
present and played during the after
noon, while the two ball games were
being played. A goodly number of the
knights and their families remained
on the grounds for the supper, and a
record crowd came back again for the
big dance in the pavilion in the eve
ming.
The ball games between Greeley and
Dyersville, and Earlville and Man
chester proved mighty interesting. Dy-
ersville defeated Greeley by a score
Of 5 to 4. Both teams played fast ball.
Manchester defeated Earlyille by a
score of to 8. The Earlville and
Manchester boys played an interesting
game. Following is the showing made

CITY COUNCIL in
BUSY SESSION
WILL JEWELL LANDS CONTRACT
FOR CONSTRUCTION OF
CITY SEWER
WEST MAIN is TO BE IMPROVED
Work on Main Street to Be Commenced
at Once. Four Merchants Given
Permits to Sell Cigaretts.
Work on n

The City Council met in regular ses-
sion in City Managers Office Monday
evening, and transacted a large
amount of business. One of the items
Of business for consideration was the
opening of bids for the construction
of sanitary sewer in the south part
of the city. VIM. Jewell was the
only contractor who submitted bid
on this work, and was awarded the
contract for the work. The entire pro-
ject will involve approximately $4,000.
G. H. Nystrom, Landscape Architect
of Dubuque, submitted plans and spec
ifications for the beautifying OF the
west Main Street park. The council
did not take any action on the propo-
sition at the meeting Monday night,
but expects to take up the proposition
at a later date.
Instead of committee of business
met waiting on the council to ask for
favors, the entire council, city attorney
and the honorable mayor will wait on
a few of the business men who persist
in throwing the sweepings from their
offices and stores into the CUTTERS
Some time ago the council adopted a
rule that no more sweeping be dumped
into the gutter. The street committee
and the street commissioner have put
forth their best efforts to keep the
streets clean, and the least that the
business men can do is to cooperate
with them.
Walter Kelley, A. H. Cleveland, w.
H. Laffety and Kramer & Schacherer
had filed applications and necessary
bonds for permits to sell cigaretts in
Manchester. The council granted the
permits.
Bids for hauling gravel from the pit
east of the cit, will be received at
the meeting to be held next Monday
night, for the improvement of West
Main street, the work to be completed
by September 1st.
The Council also authorized the car
rying of insurance on the new La
France Fire engine.
Mayor Fred B. Blair asked the
council for permission to employ two
plain clothes police men whose bus
mess will be to appfehend and arrest
reckless motor car drivers in Man
chester. If the men are on their jobs
they can easily earn their salary. The
manner in which cars are being driven
on east Main street and north Frank
lin street is fearful and wonderful, and
it is nothing short of miraculous that
some one has not been killed.

Nebraska Corn Cost 40 Cents.

The county farm bureau in CEN
trail county of Nebraska found that 1t
cost 40 cents per bushel to produce
the 1920 corn crop. This low figure
is accounted for by the fact that no
mention of interest and investment
was made in the report.
