MILITARY BAND GIVES EXCEL.
LENT PROGRAM ....,,,

Morgans' Rainbow Division Band,
formerly the 16Sth infantry, gave a
concert on the free act platform on
the fair grounds Tuesday evening. A
fair sized crowd was present to hear
the concert. The members of the
band are all musicians Of ability and
gave their respective parts in a highly
creditable manner. Mr.. Morgans is
the director of the organization. Mar
ion Morgans, vocalist, gave number
of selections.
This organization of musicians was
brought to the city under the auspices
OF the Manchester Post American Le-
gion. A certain per cent. OF the gate
receipts went into the treasury Of
the Legion.
AS is usually the case the attendance
at this concert was not what 1t should
have been. A musical organization
such as the Morgans band should have
been heard by many times the num-
ber of those present. When an or
ganization like the American Legion
brings to this city an attraction like
the band which appeared here Tues
day night, they should have the unit
ed support of the citizens of the COM
munity. There seems to be little diff
ficulty in getting immense crowds to
shows OF the transforming class,
but let some high-class attraction come
to the average community, one finds
mighty small crowd at such enter
tainments.

CARUsO, GREAT TENOR. DEAD

Enrico Cacuso, beloved golden
voiced tenor, died at Naples, on Au-
gust End.
Caruso was operated on recently
for an abcess between the liver and
the diaphragm. which caused acute
peritonitis. The artists wife and his
brother were at his bedside.
The tenor was until week ago on
the way to recovery from the long
illness which began in New York
last winter, early in the opera sea-
son, when suddenly he had an un-
expected relapse and was removed
from Sorrento to Naples.
He arrived at Naples Sunday night
and the specialists who were called
in decided to operate Immediately.
The condition of the singer, which
had been considered satisfactory un-
til recently. became grave Monday,
peritonitis developing and another
operation being considered neces-
sary.
From the beginning of his relapse,
however, there was serious concern
over the outcome, and Monday night
his life was despaired of. During the
night the condition OF the patient
grew worse steadily, and the career
of the great artist came to an end
with his death at an early hour Tues
day morning.
Enrico Caruso.A for more than
twenty-five years celebrity gin the
world of song, the tenor with 'the
golden voice." idolized by millions in
America and abroad, had an artistic
career as we'll known as that Of any
famous statesman or military leader.
He was born in Naples, Italy, Febru-
airy %, 1873. the son of Marcellius
Caruso, mechanic, who detested
music but was persuaded to permit
his son. when II years old, to sing in
the churches of his native city. An
unpromising pupil, for three years he
stumbled under Guglielmo vergine.
pledging his teacher that when ready
for professional career he should pay
MIN one-quarter of his earnings for
the following five years.

OELWEIN ANNIHILATES
MONTICELLO team
PLAYERS "BLOW UP"
in SIXTH, INNING. LARGE
CROWD SEES GAME
OELwEN TEAM SCORES TWENTY
First Defeat Monticello Has Had Dur.
ing the Season. Oelwein
Has Sure Sluggers.

Before crowd of over two thousand
people Oelwein completely swamped
Monticello, twenty to nothing In
game played last Saturday afternoon
on the Manchester Fair Grounds.
The first five innings resembled q
ball game, but after the fifth inning
the affair was tragic. Monticello had
not been defeated this season up to the
present contest with Oelwein and were
under the impression that they had
club of world beaters. They were
completely outclassed by their OPP
ponents in all phases Of the game and
the outcome Of the game was never
uncertain to the onlookers.
Oelwein was a two to one favorite
from the start. Thomson for Month
cello looked fair for the first few
innings but after the fifth he was help
less. Lehrn pitched good ball for Oel-
vein and was never in danger, Month
cello hitting safely only four times
during the game. The Oelwein men
hit all over the lot, getting two runs
in the first five innings and eighteen
in the last three. Walgomot and
Russell each made two hits in the
seventh, and Oelwein's men batted
clear around in the seventh and eighth
innings. The game was farce after
that, much resembling sand lot ex-
hibition.
Kool relieved Thomson in the eighth
but was not warmed up enough to
pitch. He proved wild and ineffective
and was hit hard by the Oelwein
sluggers, they making six runs in the
eighth inning.
Monticello had only one opportunity
to score. The first of the sixth they
had men on first and second with one
down. Thomson lined one to the
right field for two sacks but for some
unknown reason, Lucas, who was on
second did not attempt to score. He
held third and Wernimont who was
on first was caught at third thinking
of course the player had scored on
the hit. The rally ended and Month
cello appeared helpless the rest Of
the time.
Saturdays game was just the old
story of the home club playing a high
salaried team and being entirely OUT
calSsed.

WE'LL SAID. BROTHER.

Any right thinking citizen OF Man
chester would be astounded to know
the personnel Of the occupants of the
cars which were parked around the
Fair Grounds while the Rainbow Di-
vision band was giving the concert
Tuesday evening. A thief, whether of
money, goods or entertainment, is not
an admirable sight, but when he sits
bold faced in high priced car and
duty in ordering him to move, it
seems that he should be held UP to the
gaze of honest folks.
1t seems bad enough to steal from
strangers but when our own prom
inent citizens deliberately steal from
the American Legion, the one organi-
zation that would seem entitled to the
support of all real Americans it ex-
plains the disgust of the average ex-
service man and gives an excuse to
those who say that man who offers
his life for his country is fool.
Fortunately not many members Of
the American Legion are so small as
to take this attitude but when so
many OF those who stayed safe at home
and made money while the war was
on, make no effort to boost the efforts
OF the ex-service men to build up
their organization, and many others
are not ashamed to stay just outside
the fence and enjoy the entertainment
without contributing the fifty cents
that they could well afford, 1t surely
taxes the patriotism sorely to sit still
and say nothing.
Manchester Post of the American
Legion has never asked donations, and
has tried to give to the people OF
Manchester full value for every cent
that has been raised for the Post treas
ury. When many towns are raising
funds, providing halls and club rooms,
and helping the Legion posts In all
sorts of ways, it makes fine showing
for Manchester to have only four hun
dred attend as excellent an enter
tainment as tha of Tuesday night, with
:tainment as that Of Tuesday night with
band without paying. And they would
expect the Legion to Spring to arms"
at the next war.

1921 FAIR TO BE
BIGGER Than EVER
SECRETARY WILLIAMS is SHAP.
ING PROGRAM FOR GREAT
COUNTY FAIR
AUTO RACES, THE MAIN FEATURE
The Stock Exhibit Promises To Be
the Best Ever Shown
Here

The dates of the Delaware County
Fair are August Both to September2nd
and this County has right to lay
claim to the above statements, "The
Bigges County Fair in Iowa." and
at this time workmen are busy on the
grounds preparing the stalls and pens
SO that everything may be in read
mess for the stock exhibitors as it
Is the hope of the breeders and those
interested in the Fair to even eclipse
the record of showing as established in
1920. The breeders OF this county re-
alize that the County Fair offers one of
the best possible mediums through
which he may advertise his stock in
the various departments and give the
visitors from surrounding counties and
states an opportunity to view Della
ware county live stock for which she
is noted throughout the middle states,
and through the efforts of the exhibitor
the Delaware County Fair has adj
yanced in line as the best county fair
in Iowa, for which they may be justly
proud. Many new improvements are
being added at the time Of this writ
ing, which will serve as comfort to
the exhibitor as well as the visitor and
the work of placing the city water,
mains on the grounds will be rushed
to the limit as this has been much
needed improvement and will be Of
great service to the stock men.
It has been the desire of all con-
cerned to build up the poultry de-
partment and this year this depart
men is fortunate in having the SER
vice of Mr.. s. T. Harman, who has
had great deal of experience in the
poultry line and for some time had
charge of the Oakdale Poultry at AUS
tin, Mimi, and will be OF great as
sistance to the exhibitors in this de-
partment and all poultry raisers
should make it point to bring their
fancy poultry and make this the big
gest exhibition ever shown in this de-
partment. Mr.. e. w. Ward, who was
the judge Of poultry during the Farm
ers' institute in January. will be Judge,
and with the assistance of these two
experienced men much knowledge may
be gained.
Many feaures have been provided
for the 1921 Fair for the inspection
and amusement Of all, among which
are the Auto Races which will be
held on Tuesday, August 30th, only.
The writer has been informed by the
Fair Society that the entries as made
by the six drivers and cars are abso-
luely the same which will appear on
the track at the Iowa State Fair on
Friday, August 26th, then coming di-
rectly to Manchester for Tuesday the
Both, and giving them time to return
to close the State Fair.
The Delaware County Fair is the
only Fair which will be able to have
these world renoun drivers and the
people of this vicinity should take adj
vantage of this day as such drivers as
E. Ted Hill, the American Auto racer,
Ray Claypool, Leon Duray and other
drivers who have many " mile dirt
records to their credit, will be here
regardless of such propaganda which

TO FAIR EXHIBITORS

At the present time. many of the
Fair Exhibitors of previous years have
already engaged their stalls or pens
for the 1921 Fair and it is requested
by the Fair Board that all those in
tending to bring exhibits requiring
stalls or pens advise the Secretary
at once so that ample room may be
arranged for ahead Of time. 1t makes
it much more pleasant for all. Remem-
Der to write or call Secretary of Fair,
at once.
