Are Pushing Preparations
In another part of this issue of the
Review will be found the two page
advertisement of the Crawford Coun.
ty-Ames Short Course association, in
which they print the premium list,
rules and regulations and announce
ments of the course, which will be
held in this city January 6 to II.
The committees have been busy for
some time compiling the premium list
which comprises over $25OO.0O in
prizes, and last week this was turned
over to the printers to print in book
form. The Review was awarded the
contract for printing this book and
already a large number have been
turned over to the committee.
Mr. Jas. T. Byrnes, president of
the association, w. c. Rollins,
secretary, and Supt. E. w. Fellows,
who is chairman of the school ex-
hibits committee, together with 9th
ers of the executive committee, are to
be congratulated on their efforts to-
wards making the short course sue
cess. 1t has taken hours of careful
planning and study to compile the
premium list. which covers 56 pages
of printed matter. Those who desire
a copy of the premium list can Sc
cure one by applying to w. c. Rollins,
secretary of the course.
From present indications the short
course will be most successful and
hundreds of season tickets have al
ready been sold. Tickets have been
placed on sale in every township in
the county and from reports hundreds
of Crawford county farmers are 60
ing to take advantage of the course.
1t is not Denison enterprise, nor is
it a money making scheme and all of
the officers and committees are Civ
ing their time to this work absolute
ly free. The business men of the city
are cooperating and have donated
many valuable premiums in merchan-
disc and cash. This course is for the
benefit of the farmers and everyone
should pull together and boost in or
der that the course may be assured
for future years. Every farmer and
every business man should talk short
course from now till the 9th of jan
uary and boost for the mutual bene-
fit that will be derived from such an
enterprise. 1t is a big undertaking
and requires the cooperation of ev-
cry man, woman and child in the en-
tire county to make it a success.
You should plan to attend the meet
ings each day and personally see to it
that each member of your family is
present to hear the lectures that will
be given each day of the course. Have
your neighbors come and your neigh
bors' neighbor and by so doing you
will not only be helping to make the
course success. but you will be help
ing to make better homes and better
farms in this great county of ours.

which has been negotiating with the
creditors of the Atlantic Northern &
Southern railway for it's purchase for
many months. Attorneys for the
creditors, together with the attorneys
of the syndicate, appeared before
Judge Arthur. Judge Arthur made
the statement that the short line and
it's hackers will have to put up some
substantial amount or the applica-
| ton for an extension of time for the
complete purchase will not be grant
ed. A brief continuance was made on
Monday until the fourth of January,
when meeting will be held at Allan

outcome of this meeting will be, but
| it is predicted that Governor Shaw
will have to pay over a large amount
of money or Judge Arthur will oBder
