Wedding ANNIVERSARY
MIR. AND MRS. j. l.. RIZER MAR
RIED IN CLAYTON COUNTY
FIFTY YEARS AGO.
! SCHOOL BOARD IS BANQUETED
Six-Thirty Dinner Served by Teachers
In Domestic Science Rooms Of
High School, >

Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Rizer are cele-
brating their Golden wedding ami
versary at their home in this city
today, February 18th, 1921. A large
number of relatives and friends are
at the Rizer home today to help this
worthy couple celebrate the notewor-
thy event. Mr.. and Mrs. Rizer were
married at Elk Center, in Clayton
county, on February 18th, 1871, and for
twenty-three years they resided in
Clayton County. In 1894 they came to
a farm near Greeley, where they re-
sided until 1900 when they moved to
a farm near Manchester. Ten years
ago they came to Manchester and have
since resided here. Mr.. and Mrs. Rizer
have three children living, two hav-
ing passed away some time ago. The
children living are Hugh Rizer and
Charles Rizer of this city, and Mrs.
Louis Fry, living north of Manchester.
The Democrat extends hearty con-
gratulations to Mr.. and Mrs. Rizer
upon having reached their fifheth
wedding anniversary, and we trust
that they may be spared to each other
to celebrate their seventy-fifth an
niversary.

BOYS AND GIRLS WIN EXCITING
BATTLES FROM INDEPENDENCE

In two we'll played and clean games
on Saturday night of last week In
dependence again bowed to the teams
representing M. Fl. s. The result of
the girls game was AZ to with Man
chester on the long end of it. The
playing of McRoberts, Works and
Trumhlee was feature of the game.
The girls on the second team were
given a chance to show their fight
in the latter part OF the game. The
girls soon go to the tournament at
Monona in which the best teams of
Northeastern Iowa will participate.
The boys easily defeated those from
independence to the tune of 80 to Is
This makes seven straight wins for
the boys, they not having tasted de-
feat this season. Byam was high point
man for Manchester with II points,
Klaus and Robinson also scored many
points. The free throwing of Klaus
was of the highest order, making
out of z attempts. Independence were
out of luck in the basket shooting
department, passing up many easy
shots for the basket. The boys are
scheduled to play Dubuque Academy
on Wednesday night of this week at
Dubuque, and on Friday will meet
Mount Vernon for return game, they
having been defeated in the first part
of the season but have improved
greatly and should make things hot
for the locals. Xxx

Balk At Program
Efficiency as mapped out by experts
for schools and for business require
a we'll matured program Not so with
a legislative body. Gov. Larabee and
Gov. Cummins during their second
terms were able to dictate the things
to be accomplished, but they stand
alone except for the governors who
held office during emergency times.
Even these two pronounced and ac-
cepted reformers were not able to Sc
cure cooperation in the matter of ex-
pediting a business program Of work.
Gov. Larrabee and Gov. Cummins
were able to lead their broncos up to
the watering trough. When the bron-
cos got through fussing with each
other they drank-not before. Gov.
Kendall mapped ont program for
this general assembly to follow for
doing the largest amount Of work
in the shortest time possible. Up to
date the schedule has not been fol-
lowed. The code commission prepar-
ed a program that might have pre-
vented an extra session if followed TO
the letter, but legislators were not
ready to accept the advice until they
had an opportunity Of investigating
for themselves.
Hard Work Being Done.
The legislature has been in session
five weeks. On the surface there ap-
pear few accomplishments except
some of the minor things which have
been exploited and ridiculed through
the press. AS a matter Of fact, this
general assembly has made wonder
full progress in the preliminary work
of what promises to be the most i'm
portant session in generation. Mem
bers feel this responsibility and are
alert to the crisis which faces the
state. The quarrel over. the, salary
of one clerk which seemed trivial and
boys play had more behind it than
the amount involved. 1t was a notice
that economy promised to the people
of the state by Gov. Kendall and his
party is to be practiced. The effect
