SOCIAL NOTES.

Miss Ethel Gulick entertained a
number OF young ladies at kensing-
ton Thursday evening. Fancy work
was the order of the evening and was
pleasantly interspersed with music.
Very tempting refreshments were
served at a late hour.
Miss Esther Schnoor gave party
to twelve little girls last Thursday at
|.ternoon. 1t was Esther's birthday
and the little guests presented her
with a number of pretty presents.
Very nice refreshments were served
and all enjoyed happy time.
A number of parties are on the cal
endar for this wee. Mrs. Jacob Sims
will be a luncheon hostess on Thurs
day and will give a kensington Satur-
day afternoon Several functions
among the college students will occur
the following week. A great many
dinner invitations have been issued
for Christmas, and altogether the hol-
iday season in Denison seems full of
merriment.
The Current Events Christmas tree
will be the attraction at the club room
Christmas afternoon, when the usual
distribution of gifts will take place,
much to the delight of the children
whose Christmas would not be en-
tire]y filled if it were not for this hap
py event.
On Wednesday afternoon the ladies'
of the Current Events club will hold
their annual Christmas party for a
number of their little friends at the
club room in the Carnegie library.
The ladies of the club have been max
ing arrangements for the entertain
ment for some time and have spared
no pains in trying to make the Occas-
ion an enjoyable one for those who
have been invited. The spacious club
room has been beautifully decorated
and the donations have been gener-
Gus, hence the invited guests will hnd
plenty in store for them. Since the
ladies of the Current Events club
have undertaken this treat it has
met with great success and hardly a
business man in the city has hesitated
to help the ladies in their good work.
1t is indeed thoughtful of the men,
bers of the club to go out OF their
own home circles and bring cheer
and Christmas spirit to others.

BEEF SPECIAL
VISITS DENlS0N
Owing to the Early Hour the Friday
Morning Lecture Was Not Very
Largely Attended.
Rex Beresford, Beef Cattle Expert,
Urges Farmers to Raise More
Beef Cattle and Use SiIos.

The beefsteak train which is run
ming under the auspices of the Iowa
Beef Producers association and the
Iowa State Agricultural college, ar
rived in Denison last Thursday even
ing at $50 and remained over night
and for a morning lecture Friday
morning. There was only fair
crowd in attendance at the morning
lecture, which was given in one of the
lecture cars from 9 until 10 o'clock.
There probably would have been a
larger attendance of farmers and bus
mess men if the hour had not been so
early.
The train was placed on siding
just east of the freight depot and con,
sisted of five cars: two lecture cars,
an express stock car for the cattle, a
sleeper and diner for the lecturers. On
account of the small attendance
only one lecture car was used. Mr..
Rex Beresford, beef cattle specialist
of Ames, talked to the interested
audience for nearly an hour and ex-
planned why beef raising in Iowa is
profitable. He told how twenty-four
farmers grew and fattened beef
calves for the market in 1911 and 1912
at an average profit of $500 per head,
and said that beef can be grown in
this state for six cents per pound,
while now it is selling for nine cents
per pound, and that the beef supply
could not possibly catch up with the
demand in less than ten years.
Mr. Beresford explained why rails
ing beef cattle was of Importance in
more ways than one. That cattle feed
ers or breeders farms are always the
richest in the community. He urged
the building of silos for the feeding Of
beef cattle and that the proper use OF
corn silos would cut one-third the cost
of growing and fattening the beef
steer He emphasized the farmers
should take better care of their pas
ture lands and drag the low spots,
NOW the rag weed, SOW blue grass on
thin spots and manure the pastures
as often as possible.
After the lecture those in attend
ance went into the cattle car to in
spect the four fine specimens of beef
cattle which were carried with the
train.
It is to be regretted that more Of
our Crawford county farmers could
not be in attendance to hear the lee
ture delivered by Mr.. Beresford.

Denison Merchants Entertain Big
Crowds Saturday-Every Train
Brought Buyers to City.
HITcHING POSTS At PREMIUM
Farmers Driving in Search for Places
to Tie Teams-Mearchants Are
Pleased With Trade.

Denison has never been more invit-
ing as holiday shopping center than
it is this year and visit to one OF the
many business houses in the city at
this time of the year impresses one
that not only people of Denison, but
the people of Crawford county and the
surrounding territory as we'll realize
that no better values can be secured
anywhere than here. Saturday the
business houses of the city We're
crowded with merry throngs OF buy
ers who were busy selecting gifts for
their dear ones Every train into the
city brought buyers from, nearby
towns and there was hardly hitch
ing post available for the late arrivals
from the country to tie their teams.
Denison merchants have spent
weeks in selecting holiday lines which
have been effectively displayed and
the stores never have looked as at
tractive as now. Display windows are
artistically decorated and convey but
an idea OF the beautiful things that
may be found in the show cases in
side. Several of the stores have spent
days in decorating the interior of the
stores for the holiday season and it
is we'll worth a trip to Denison to see
the decorations. Great preparation
has been made for the holiday trade in
Denison and it seems that each mer-
chant has done his best to excel his
competitor in making greater and
better display of suitable Christmas
gifts
The day when there were but few
distinctly holiday stocks on display
has passed and today there are dozens
of merchants in active competition
for your trade. This means lower
prices and better chance of selection
than ever before.
Christmas is the one time of the
year when one must buy, buy, buy.
And Denison's stores have the great.
est assortment of holiday goods and
furnish more suggestive ideas than
any other stores in the county. If
you are undecided what to select, visit
our stores, you are sure to see won.
derful opportunities, numerous sug-
gestions and something that is sure

much they have to do and just this
word of advice-shop early-shOp In

to go and the club appreciates their
hospitality.

Andy Lee is Opposing Election Of Johnson

Sioux Falls, S. DIT is reported
here that democratic politicians,
working on the quiet In the rural
districts, ARE ravished with the
whistling of the magic name" OF Ed,

the democratic ticket. Assuming
that the Scandinavian voters can be
hoodwinked into voting the demo-
cratic state ticket by such cheap
tricks, the democrats are fooling
themselves If they think that ''some

dinavian-American farmers OF South
Dakota know that "that which we
call a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet. "They know, too, how
to resent very effectively any and all
attempts to obtain votes among them
for Ed. Johnson, the democratic can
didate for governor, by such false pre-
lenses When seen yesterday several
prominent mericans
denounced the attempted trick as an
outrageous insult to every Scandina-
Wan voter in the state.

peevish when the clerk insisted that
Mr.. James was not proprietor Of the

A prominent Norwegian, closely
affiliated with his own people, when
asked about the matter, made this
significant statement: II don't know
whether Ed. Johnson Is a Schandina-
Wan or not, and l don't care. If he
were member of the church and the

his parentage that he has not once

1t can be truly said of "The Thief"
Henri Bernstein's great play, which
appears at the Lyric Theatre on
Saturday, October 26 with Marion
Sherwood in the leading role, that it
is one of the most interesting and
absorbing plays that has ever been
presented to the play-goers of the
world
1t tells the tale of woman's
efforts to hold her husbands love and
to what depths she will go in order
that she might look beautiful in his
eyes. The character of Marie Louise
is type familiar to everyone and it
has been said of the character that
she is more true to life than any
character in any play or book of re-
cent years.
The play is one that appeals to the
masses. 1t grips both the heart and
the mind, dismissing its audiences
with thoughts active as to the signi-
ticance Of it. all.

who disowns his own father and
mother his own nationality, cannot
possibly be good and true American
citizen"
The published statement by ex-
Gov. Andrew e. Lee, himself demo-
crat, and Norwegian, and the only
democrat ever elected governor of
South Dakota, that he is emphatically
against the election of Ed. Johnson,
on the ground that he (JohnSon) is
backed by the railroads and other
corporate interests in the state, has
caused tremendous stir in the coun-
ty. AS a result, hundreds of farmers
and business men who believe in and
admire Governor Lee, and who had
intended to vote for Johnson, are
now focking to Frank NJ. Byrne, the
progressive republican candidate for
governor. This Byrne enthusiasm has
been greatly augmented by the dark
lantern methods employed by the
democratic workers in the field, re-
ferred to in the foregoing. Shrewd
observers predict progressive land
slide in Minnehaha county on the
election day in November, especially
since G. M. Day, Of "The Argus-Lead-
er" and George w. Egan have kissed
and made up and joined the demo-
cratic party.

A peculiar incident occurred recent
ly in Oklahoma City when THE
Thief" which appears at the Lyric
Theatre on Saturday October 26, with
Miss Sherwood in the leading role
was presented IN that city.
After the second performance Of
the play woman appeared at the
stage door Of the theatre and asked to
see Miss Sherwood and upon being in
troduced, the woman fell into fit of
weeping and it was some minutes
before she could compose herself
sufficiently to expIain the nature of
her visit. 1t appears that on the
evening before, she and her husband
had witnessed the performance and SO
greatly impressed was she by the play
that she confessed to her husband
that for months she has been taking
money from his pockets in order that
she might appear as well dressed as
her friends.
In her conversation with Miss
Sherwood she related the terrible ex-
perience she had gone through with
in concealing the facts from her
husband and that had it not been for
the fact that she had seen "The
Thief" she would have probably gone
through life with the weight Of her
crime on her mind.

This is perhaps the most advanced
socialistic theory that has ever been
submitted to the voters of South

governor down to coroner, and includ-

circuit courts, subject to the recall

Marion Sherwood, who plays the
leading role in '"The Thief" Henri
Bernstein's great play which appears
at the Lyric Theatre on Saturday
October 25, has the distinction of
being one of the few women who has
received the thanks of the city
through the Mayor of the place.
While playing in Arhadelphia, Ark.
recently Miss Sherwood had an oppor
tunity to prove herself a heroine. 1t
was during the second act of the play
which was being presented to large
audience. During the action of the
play. some boys in the alley set fire TO
a barrel of trash and ran into the
lobby of the theatre yelling fire. The
audience rose in masses and started
for the exits. Miss Sherwood grasped
the situation at glance and went on
with her lines and in few moments
quelled panic that would undoubt-
edly result in a great loss OF life had
it not been for her presence Of mind.
AS soon as the audience realized what
had been done to quell the panic, a
storm of applause arose and it was
several minutes before Miss Sherwood
could go on with the play The
morning following the occurrence,
Mayor w. A. Jackson called on Miss
Sherwood at her hotel and thanked
her in behalf of the city for her part
in saving many of the people of the
town from serious injury and possibly
death. In answering Mayor Jackson,
Miss Sherwood said ''ah 1T was moth
ing-any level headed woman would
have done tine same thing under the
circumstances. / saw that something
had to be done and done quickly or a
terrible catastrophe would have happ.
ened."
