Hummer and Indications Point
to Renewed Efforts.
ADVOCATE LOCAL IMPROVEMENT
The Booster Spirit Takes Hold Of the
Club and Committees Are
Set to- Work.

The last meeting of the Commercial
club was a hummer. A great deal Of
enthusiasm in favor of advancing To-

quent.
Mr.. Naeve, chairman of the commit
tee on entertainment, the other men,
bers of the commiNee being julius
Bale and G. L. Caswell, made re-
port in regard to the circus held here
last year. 1t appeared that over
$4,000 were raised and expended by
the committee. Fifty dollars was paid
for rent of ground, $35.00 for water
license and for extra police and $3.50
for kilograms and telephone mess
ages. The balance of $3.50 was shown
to be on hand, which was paid back
to the commercial club.
F. WesMeyers, chairman of the COM
mittee on national guard, made full
report in which he read number
of letters which he had received from
prominent officers of the national
guard, such as Col. Chantland, of Ft.
Dodge; Charles G. Helmer, of Carroll;
T. J. Mahoney, of Boone; Gen. Lin
coin, of Ames, and Lieut.. Westcott,
of Cherokee. At present there does
not seem to be an opening for Deni-
son.
Especial attention is called to a
letter entitled, 'Dairying in Denmark"
which is published in this issue of the
Review. The letter is worthy of the
careful perusal of the readers of the
paper. The request was made by the
commercial club that it be published.
Mr.. Caswell gave good talk on
boosting, calling attention to the ne
cessity of harmonious cooperation on
the part of the business men Of Den
ison and also the wisdom of spending
money to advertise the city and its
advantages.
Mr.. Naeve followed him with a talk
along the same line, which was very
much appreciated.
P. D. McMahon, P. E. c. Lally, DR..
Johnson and B. Brodersen were all
heard on the subject OF the hospital

closed. DR.. Johnson gave an account
of his stewardship during the time he
had charge of the hospital and justi-
fed the course which he pursued in

Married at High Noon.

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr. and Mrs. w. w. Cushman, on
Wednesday, Feb. |, 1911, at high noon
occurred the marriage of Miss Nell
Cushman to Mr.. Emil Herrig, of Hol-
abird, S. D. The wedding, while a
very prominent one, was very quiet
one. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Senseney OF the First M. E..
church in the presence of the imme-
diate relatives of the contracting
parties. The happy couple left on the
afternoon train for Wall Lake, where
they will visit few days before pro-
ceeding to their future home in Hola-
bird, S. D.
The bride is one of DenisOn's most
popular young ladies'. She has en-
deared herself to a large circle of
friends because of her lovable dispo-
sition and the fidelity with which she
has devoted herself to the care of her
invalid mother. The groom is well
and favorably known in this locality
and the good wishes of hosts OF
friends will follow them to their new
home.

The evidence was so conclusive in
favor OF the defendants and against
the plaintiff that the court promptly
decided the case, saying to the coun-
sci who tried the case that he did not
care to spend the time to hear the evi-
dence discussed, and when he came
to decide it he said it was useless to
rehearse the facts in detail. He said
the plaintiffs own evidence disclosed
that all he ever did, during the period
OF fourteen years, was to write to Mr..
Shaw once or twice and he says thar
he told some lawyer to write to him
or to see him. That about two years
ago he spoke to Mr.. Harding about it,
but nothing was ever done until last
fall. The court said that that Of itself
was strong indication to him that
the plaintiff never thought he had any
cause Of action; that his conduct was
such that it raised presumption that
he himself did not believe that he had
any case.
The court found that under the ey-
dence the land was worth in the neigh
borhood Of $4,000 per acre at the time
the transaction was made; the en-
cumbrance against the land, together
with the judgments and claims paid by
the defendants, including the property
turned over to the plaintiff when he
left the farm, amounted to practically
the value Of the land and the value
of the personal property taken under
the mortgage at the time of the sale.
The court, therefore, found the
land had been fully paid for;
that the fact that the price of
land had increased since that
time was not in the case; that if the
price of land had gone down and had
not advanced the case would never
have been heard Of and wound up his
decision by finding that the equities
in the entire case we're with the de-
PENDANTS and he said that if the plaint-
iff lost his farm it was not because
of any blame which could be traced
to the defendants. But he said
the plaintiff had not lost the farm,
it was lost before he got it by the
debts of his father; that he had no
claim against the defendants, nor did
he ever have any claim.
A judgment was rendered dismiss
ing the petition and holding the plaint-
iff for all the costs in the action.
1t is unfortunate that irresponsible
people, knowing they have no cause
of action against another, will go into
court with cases without any merit
whatever, and it is more unfortunate
that cases of this character are not
more carefully before
they are brought into court. The
courts decision is specific rebuke
against such a practice.
On Monday the case of Escher
against Carroll county, tried here and
reversed by the supreme court, was
called for trial and will occupy the
greater portion of the week.

Oct. 25, 1916. She moved with her
parents to Galva, Ill.,, in 1860, and on

her away, was patient and hopeful.
She had a large circle Of friends who

Plumbers Combine.

We understand that Mr.. Fred Ia,
doch has sold half interest in his
plumbing business to Mr.. Robert
Buckley of this city. Mr. Kadoch has
been in the plumbing business in this
city for number of years and has
built up a large business and so large
that he found it was impossible for
him to handle the work alone. The
deal was cOnsumated last week
whereby Mr.. Buckley will be half
owner of the business and the new
firm will be known as Kadoch e.
Buckley. Mr.. Buckley has been in
the employ of the Stewart Lumber
company for the past two years and
is very competent plumber.

STILL WEAK
FROM HOT SPELL,

Physicians say that the unusual
and terrific heat of last summer did
great damage to many people who do
not even suspect it. There are many
right In this town who are feeling
weak, listless and discouraged, losing
flesh and going into decline on ac-
count of the strain of last summer.
A Red Bank, N. j., man, Mr.. Wal
ton Cullington, has found what to
do in such cases. He says. when
1 was badly rundown, growing weak
and losing flesh, | took Vinol to build
me up and make me strong It has
been perfectly satisfactory, and l
would not take anything for the good
Vinol did me. l am all right now"
1t would be great blessing If all
who are in broken health. whether
old, middle aged or young, could
know that Vinol is the one thing they
need to make them we'll and strong
again. We can prove by people you
know well that Vinol, our delicious
cod liver and iron preparation without
oil, is the greatest blood builder and
strength creator known, and We guar
antee it to give satisfaction. Nc

A Matter Of $500.

In discussing the situation in the
Central Association and touching up
on this phase of the situation in this
city, the Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
THE one consideration Of high cog
nizance which must be taken In con-
nection with the continuation of the
present form Of the league, is Musca-
tine. 1t is assumed that city will r
main in the circuit. Yet it Is not alb
solutely certain that it will do so.
The question which arose at the late
annual fall meeting of the league in
Ottumwa concerning Muscatine's
shortage in attendance has yet to be
settled Muscatine asked to be ex-
cused from the payment of the certi-
fled check for $500 given as guaran-
tee to the league that 1t would draw
total of $4,000 paid admissions dur
ing the past season. 1t fell down
about seven thousand admissions but
pleaded the labor troubles as an ex-
cuse for that shortage. The Musca-
tine representatives gave hint that
should the association insist on the
letter of the agreement under the
circumstances that the city would not
remain in the Central Association
circuit This threat was not taken
seriously, as the directors were con-
WINGED that Muscatine was too big a
city and full of too practical business
men to attempt such coercion on the
association. But in consideration of
the difficulties encountered by Musca-
the during the season, it was agreed
to settle at greatly reduced figure.
The sum owing the association under
the pledge is $500. The sum agreed
upon will be about s24O. Nothing has
yet been heard from Muscatine as
to its acceptance of this compromise,
but it is believed that city will will be
entirely satisfied with the generous
action of the league directorate"

UNCLE SAM SOLD
MEN AT AUCTION
In Spite Of the Emancipation ProcIa

the Block.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Despite
the fact that the days of slavery are
over, the practice of selling men un.
der the hammer has not passed away
Uncle Sam not only tolerates it, but
recently sold some men at auction
Yes, several men who have been in
his service so long that they have be-
come superannuated, were sold at auc-
ton recently at the painfully low
price of 50 for the lot, but of course
it must be admitted that those men
were not real, live, honest-to-goodness
men. They were dummies who had
straddled artificial mules in the post
office museum on the third floor OF the
postoffice building for many years.
Many of the manikins which sold
for a pittance had seen wide travel
and had attracted the attention OF
countless thousands. Some of them
have been making all the big EXPOSE
lions since the worlds fair in Chicago
in 1893.

Advantage Of Concrete BUILDINGS

1t has been shown in practice that
concrete buildings require less arti-
fetal light than those of slow burning
mill construction. This is owing to
the reflection of light from the white
walls and ceilings and columns and
also to the fact that it is possible to
supply buildings of this character with
greater window area.
