WANT CREDIT REGULATIONS
RELAXED.

After the conference OF New York
bankers with President Harding at
the White House. a week ago, Il was
reported that one OF the principal
subjects of discussion was the ques-
ton Of relinauishing the restrictic ms
on credit extension, which the
Federal Reserve Board FIRST put into
practice two years ago, as a means
of checking loans for speculative
purposes.
During the past week there has
been a good deal OF guessing IN
financial circles as to just how far
the bankers went in their sugges-
tons to the President, and az to the
character OF the expression of their
views relative to the workings OF
the Federal Reserve system.
It would appear that the feeling on
the part of the New York bankers
was that the rules. as they exist, per-
NIT of too much rigidity practiced in
their application, and that, during
the past year. a policy of def1ation has
resulted in the Withholding of credit
in quarters where 1t was urgently
needed.
No criticism, though, is made OF the
motives for such action on the part
OF Federal Reserve Board officials.
1t Is the rule itself that was under
criticism.

A DANGEROUS PASS

We believe that the city is somewhat
negligent in not putting on an extra
night police officer during these times
when there seems to be an unusual
wave Of crime sweeping over the coun-
try at large. Persons coming to Man
chester on night trains are taking
desperate chances when they start out
to walk across the foot bridge below
the mill dam. At recent meeting Of
the city council the salary Of the night
policeman was materially increased,
and we believe that the council was
justified in giving Mr.. Morgan this
boost in salary. For some time it has
been the custom for the night man to
drive the bus to meet the night trains.
While Mr.. Morgan is waiting for trains
the business part Of the city is left
without police protection, ,sand 1t is to
be wondered at that Manchester busi-
ness houses have not been robbed more
frequently. Mr.. Morgan. we believe,
should give his entire time during the
night to the safeguarding Of life
and property, especially at this time.
When persons leave the night trains
to come over town. they should have
proper protection. Persons residing on
the west side of the river also need
this protection, and they should in
sist that Mr. Morgan give them such
protection Dyersville and Independ-
ence have each had taste of what the
larger cities are experiencing daily,
and some day Manchester will get
hers.

seven years. The program consisted

and greatly delighted his hearers with
his numbers.
Coe College should feel proud Of
an organization such as appeared in
Manchester on Tuesday evening. In
the club is talent along musical lines
which is very exceptional and it
can readily be seen that the govern
ment would select the Coe College
Glee Club ais one Of its star attrac-
tions to be sent to the great govern

ter season OF 1921-1922,
Had the weather been suitable to
permit persons coming from any dis
tance, the Armory would have been
crowded to the doors. We trust that
arrangements can be made to have the
Glee Club from Coe appear here again.

CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS HAVE
HARD SLIDING

The consolidated school is not prov
ing as popular in this county as was
expected. Much opposition to the idea
has developed in several localities, the
main objections being, in most instan-
ces, the increase In taxes and the
hardship suffered by some Of the chill
dren by the long rides to and from
the school. The Buck Creek district
which was organized last year was
dissolved by the court as not having
been organized as required by law.
Another attempt Is being made to or
ganize the district and strong OPP
position is again being made to it. A
protest with about a hundred names
was filed with County Superintendent
Ottillie who has ruled in favor Of
forming the district. The professors
have given notice hat they will APP
peal from his decisA7 to the county
board Of education. A merry fight is
on over the proposition.
In the Dundee district a petition
signed by about half Of the residents
OF the territory has been filed ask
ing that the district be dissolved. In
view Of the strong showing made by
the petitioners Superintendent Ottilie
has decided to order an election to
determine the question OF diss0lu-
tion.
In the Lamont district which takes
in part OF Delaware County, petit
tions are being circulated asking that
the district be dissolved and calling
for vote on the question.
In the Masonville district there is
a sharp division Of sentiment The
proposition to consolidate carried by
one vote This was several months
ago and nothing has been done since
then to perfect the organization. We
understand that an election is soon to
be called to choose directors and the
opponents of the consolidation will
Immediately move to dissolve the dis
trict.

TAXES UP COMMUNITY WORK

Hubert Phenicte, who has beeen one
OF the national organizers for the XII
wants Club OF America. has severed
his connection with the organization
ad has accepted the secretaryship Of
the Cloquet Community Club, Of Clo-
quet, Minnesota, beginning his work
there today. Cloquet is city of 5000
people. In 1918 the entire town was
destroyed by forest fires and 500 peo-
pie lost their lives. Mr. Phenicie's du-
ties as secretary will bring him in
close touch with almost every phase
Of cummunity life, and since this is
the first organization OF its kind in
Minnesota, he will have much to do with
the shaping Of the policies to be laid
down and along the lines of which
the work will be carried on. The Club
Is backed by the extension department
of the University of Minnesota. The
city has large lumber and paper mills.
and has a large foreign population.
Mr.. Phencie's friends are gratified to.
learn that he should have been select
ed for this responsible position from a
list Of twenty-five applicants.

NEW PRINCIPAL ELECTED

At recent meeting of the Board Of
the Independent School District OF
Manchester. w. Weems, at present one
of the instructors in the High School
at Sigourney, Iowa, was elected to the
position OF principal of the Manchester
High School for the school year Of
1921-1922. Mr.. Weems is an ex-ser-
vice man. having given 81 months to
his country during the great world
war. He was with the American Mar
rines, and participated in some Of
|the great battles on the western front.
He comes very highly recommended as
a school man. His wife, who is an
instructor in one Of the grade schools
at Sigourney, was also elected to a
position as teacher OF one of the grad
es here.
Miss Florence Riddell, who has been
the efficient and very popular prin-
cipal OF the local high school for
some years, Is not definitely decided
as to her future plans. 1t was only
after many Of the patrons Of the school
Furged Miss Riddell to remain with
the Manchester school for another
year. did she accept reelection last
year. Miss Riddell is not only very
efficient instructor but because OF her
charming personality she at once wins
the confidence Of the pupils who come
under her care and jurisdiction. Her
influence for good among the young
folks has manifested itself not only
in the school room, but in every ac-
tivity Of the community. We trust that
when she leaves the Manchester
school and takes up other work, her
lines may be thrown in pleasant
places.

NOTICE TO AL AUTO OWNERS

NOTICE TO AL AUTO OWNERS
In next weeks issue will appear the
list OF all persons owning cars In
Delaware County who have not applied
and procured 1921 license numbers
and certificates. This list is certified
to the county treasurer by the state
department, and has to be published
in the official newspapers OF the coun-
ty the frs. week In May.
Wen miss our guess II the publish
ing OF the list OF delinquent auto
owners won't cause some excitement.
No doubt many persons have sold
cars and have failed to have proper
transfers made on the county treas.
uror's books. The only way the coun-
" treasurer can keep the record
straight is to report such transfers TO
him Immediately Unless this is done
the car will continue to be registered
in the name OF the original purchaser.
II you are in doubt go at once to the
county treasurer and have the trans
fer made.

DUBUQUE SUFFERS FROM STORM
Storm Seems General Over Entire
County. Farmer Shocked by Light
ming During Storm.

One of the worst wind storms, ac-
companied by veritable downpour Of
rain, visited this part of the state Mon
day afternoon, doing an endless
amount of damage to farm buildings,
silos and windmills. The storm
struck this part Of the state at about
1:30, and seemed to cover In width q
strip about The entire distance OF
Delaware county. In many places
buildings were unroofed and more or
less damage resulting to the contents
OF the buildings from the deluge OF
water. At the Young farms south OF
town considerable damage was done
to the dwellings, besides tearing to
pieces hog houses. poultry houses and
leveling to the ground other buildings.
Reports are coming from all over the
county that large barns were wrecked,
and wooden staye silos were scattered
over the farm.
Telephone and telegraps companies
came in for their share Of damage as
a result Of the storm.
The storm did a great deal Of dam
age in Dubuque. The roof Of the
large Chicago Great Western Railway
freight station was completely torn
away, and more or less damage. done
to the passenger station. At Farley
& Loetscher's manufacturing plant the
great piles Of lumber were scattered
about as though the boards and tim
bers were matches. Plate glass win
dows in the down town section were
broken, and several persons were In.
jured by flying timbers and broken
glass.
Immediately following the high
wind terrific electrical storm fol-
lowed. During this part of the storm
more or less damage resulted to tele-
phone and high tension lines, and a
young farmer Of Coffins Grove was
so severely checked and 1t was feared
he would not recover.
