1t was Secretary Shaw who said
that the best crop raised in Iowa was
the bright intelligent boys and girls.
and we agree with him. Knowing
how proud he was of his home town.
we think he would say that the crop
at Denison was q little the best in
the state. AS an example he might

CANT, who is now holding RESPONSE

office in Washington city. He obtain
ed the clerkship by good civil ser
vice examination and holds it on his
own merits. His friends are pleased
to know that he will be married on

with his bride. at which time they
will receive brilliant reception from
their friends.

BEHOLD THIS DREAMER
The Baccalaureate Sermon Inspired
Young People to Dream of Great
Things

On Sunday evening Rev. Thuresson
delivered the baccalaureate address
to the graduating class of '0s. at the
M. E. church 1t was proud and
never to be forgotten time, when the
graduates in leaps and Gowns"
marched into the church and took
their places. They are groupe of
young folks of much promise. For
many. their parents made many sacri-
fee. and it was with satisfaction
these parents felt that a reward
had come. A feature of the occasion
was the singing by members of the
high school. The bass might not
have been as strong as at other times
given, but the fresh young voices sing
ing the sacred hymns and anthems
sounded grand. ard it was appreciated.
For q second time that day Rev.
Thuresson took his text from sect
ion of verse in the Old Testament.
Upon this occasion the words were
those recorded as having been said by
the jealous bretheren of Joseph
Behold this dreamer cometh." The
speaker explained the circumstances
under which these words We're said.
Joesph had dreamed that he should
hold positions uf power and influence
and told of it. He however shaped
his life in a way to make him Wor.
thy of advancement. and this came
to him. The speaker urged the
young people to set plans for strong ca
reers along right ways. and then work
to carry them out. He told many in
stances of men gaining great success
but after the severest work and awful
disbursements. OF course the ser
mon came down in the end to the
oft empathized thought that one must
be ambitious for great things and
then labor for them increasingly. Be-
ginning with the dreams of Joseph the
subject was treated in a way to make
an impression. and parent and pupils
were much pleased.

The Automobile Habit has Struck Dem

The pioneers at Dension in the use
of automobiles will soon not feel
lonesome as their ranks are to be
joined by many we'll known citizens.

Chamberlin. Boylan. Sprecher and
Romans were at times nearly mobbed.
when they began to ride on the
country road, and many farmers de-
clared they would not trade at nenl-
son If the business men persisted in
having automobiles. At one time
there was meeting of citizens of the
couatry and resolutions passed oppos-
ing the use Of the red devil'' ma
chine in this vicinity. Such feelings
are now thing of the past and the
ice being broken number of auto
mobiles are now to have ownership
in Denison.
Mr.. A. F. Boylan has been the en-
thusiast and expert. His trips as
pilot to the racer from New York to
Paris gave him reputation in auto
mobile circles and made him de-
eide to give his entire attention to
selling and repairing these luxuries
of the time. Since his retirement
from the jewelry business about
month ago. he has made many sales
of machines. Among the buyers have
been Messers Voss. Lyon and Drs.
Carr & Brannon. Within the past
few days he has sold fine 40 H. P.

good over seeing their fad become
fashionable.

it was deemed best by the member

The town was plated and owned
by the Providence Western Land Com

out from Providence to represent
the company. The town was laid
out and then it was suggested in

This was accomplished in October 1857.
Further history will come to light at

Rev. Robert Carroll and the main
program on Wednesday. One of the
proposed plans which may be of inter-
