A hail storm is reported as having
visited the section west of Clear Lake
Sunday night and some wheat was
damaged. At this eleventh hour when
the wheat is ready for the reaper,
destructive hail storm would be most
distressing. Here's hoping that the
weather man favors our farmers as
much as possible, along this line.

we were shadowed on the trip up from
the railroad building 10 the hotel, and
Il made me nervous. There could be
only one reason now for any such
dogglng OF the boss. The grafters
were not trying to find out what he
was doing; they didn't need to, be
cause he was advertising his doings-
or Juneman was-in the newspapers.
What they were trying to do was to
catch him of his guard and do him
up-this time to stay done up.
II was safe TO assume that they
wouldn't tumble the ball a second
time. Mr.. Ripley had stood the thing
fairly on its feet when he said that
our campaign was purely a one-man
proposition, so far as II had yet gone.
People who had met the boss and had
done business with him liked him
but the old-time prejudice against
the railroad was so widespread and
so bitter that II couldn't be overcome
all at once. Juneman, our publicity
man. was doing his best, but as yet
we had no party following In the
state at large which would stand by
us and see that we got justice.

sat at dinner In the Billiard cafe, and
I guess Mr.. NOrcross was. too. for he
didn't say much. / don't know whether
he knew anything about the shadow
Ing business I speak OF or not, but be
might have. We hadn't more than
given our dinner order when one OF
Hatch's clerks. a cock-eyed chap named
Kestler. came in and took a table just
far enough from ours TO be out OF the
way. and near enough to listen In II
we said anything.
When we finished, Kestler was just
getting his service Of ice-cream; but
noticed that he left IL untouched
and got up and followed Us 10 the
lobby. II made me hot enough TO
want 10 turn on him and knock his
crooked eye out, but OF course, that
wouldn't have done any good.
After Mr.. Norcross had bought some
cigars at the stand he said he guessed
he'd run out 70 Major Hendricks for
a little while: sld with that he went
up 10 his rooms Though the major
was the one he named, knew he meant

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The selection Of the minister of the
Congregational Church OF Manchester
should engage the attention of all OF
our citizens, regardless Of whether
they are members Of that church or
even Of that faith. Many Of you
may not know that the law incorpor-
ating a Congregational Society in
Manchester was passed by the Assem-
bly, and Governor and Council Febru-
airy 2Sth, i7s4, one hundred and
thirty-seven years ago. The splendid
traditions that this long period Of
service have accumulated should be
handed down so that this society will
always be a most influential factor in
this community.
Is is no; mistake to let so ancient
a society dwindle down and possibly
cease to exhist here? What induce
ment can the committee chosen to Sc
cure a new pastor offer 70 the kind Of
man that should make this old society
an elevatiug and restraining infu-
ence7 Would il not be well TO hold a
public meeting that will enable all the
people Of this community to express
their wish ard help decide whether
they want a man thz; the younger
generation % all classes viii look I'D

ancient glory OF this society and
church.

Mrs. Rawlinz. Mrs A. C. Orvis and
Miss Sarah Hanley. who helped the
chairman Of the entertainment com.
mittee trim the ice cream truck loaned
by the Equinox Spring Co. The first
use Of the truck was 70 advertise the
dance By the children who rode in Il
driven by John Lyon through the
three Manchester villages. including a
trip through the fair grounds and the
golf club grounds. The truck later
served as an ice cream booth, lighted
by electric bulbs-part Of the electric
lighting arrangements planned and ex-
ecuted by the capable Equinox cleo
trician, James Shuley, who designed
and also made some Of the patriotic
caps worn by the collectors and to
whose artistic genius and great in
dustry, despite the heat Of the day,
are due our thanks for the beautiful
effects which made the dance so at
traetive to onlookers.
The proceeds are estimated at
about S295 with an expense account
Of probably sl25. This result was far
ahead Of the Clubs expectations and
gratitude for everything includes the
weather which was even hotter than
the old fashioned kind known as iden-
tical with Fourth Of July celebrations
when thunder storms were wont to
make unwelcome interruptions. The
second block dance met with generos-
ity in every direction for which The
Manchester Community Club extends
grateful thank you.

AMERICAN LEGION FIELD DAY
A Hot Day, But Good Time. Big
Crowd Took Part.

The Lord certainly was good to the
American Legion boys Of Manchester
Post on their first annual Field Day
for He allowed the sun to shine. And
how the sun did shine, too. It seems
as though there was never a hotter
day made than was the Fourth but
that did not seem to deter people from
coming out and enjoying the events.
That there was a crowd there is
shown from the fact that there were
over 1900 tickets Of admission Sold
and children were free!
The races were run off in schedule
time, the horse racing being won as
follows:-
2:l9 trot or pace, Glenwood star
came in first, Major Byers second, and
Ashley Hal third.
2:8O trot or pace, Jack Forbes was
first, Daylight sendo, and Mildred St.
Clair third.
2;45 trot or pace. Dan b. was first.
Helena Porter second, and Rose
Dreamland third.
The 220 yard dash was won by j.
Cole with W. Bentley second.
The 100 yard dash for boys Is years
and under, was won by Harvey Musso
and Cecil Taft was second.
The potato race was won by Harold
Reed with Cecil Taft second.
The sack race was won by Frank
Gilbert with Fred Giddings second.
The boys made a good effort and
their labors were well rewarded by
the substantial crowd that came out.
They will be encouraged, no doubt, to
repeat il next year.

THE SECOND BLOCK DANCE

The second block dance was a very
pretty affair; we hope the enjoyment
Of the dancers was equal to that Of
the admiring spectators. The dance
program was well managed by Stew
art Bennett who made the announce
ments and gave brief history Of the
work Of the Club through his con-
vincing megaphone.
The Club members, men and women.
worked valiantly with inspiration and
perspiration for il certainly was a
warm evening. Member Rawlins must
have had dismal memories Of the days
Of the press gang as he sacrificed him
self by carrying chairs from the club
room-two steep fights Of stairs and
a block 70 walk. to the place where
he added to the comfort and pleasure
Of the community and made $500 to
add to the dance proceeds. Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur Moffat and Mrs. Louisa
Graves must have added appreciably
TO the decrease in temperature as the
night advanced, by the distribution Of
900 ice cream cones. The treasury
was greatly increased thereby and we
hope that satisfaction with their own
efficient work and that Of Miss Mary
Dalton, Mrs. c. s. Bennett. Miss
Moses. Mrs Malone. Miss Sylvia Lyon
and Miss Hilda Kinney, who carried
