kIRON FAMILY TO ALABAMA.
Chas. WaIdemar and Family Remove
to Silver Heel, AIa., Where ley
Will Make Future Home.

Chas Waldemar and wife and six
children left on Tuesday for their
new home at Silver Hill, Ala For a
long time the south has had strong
allurements for Mr. Waldemar, and
after two trips throughout the south
ern states he decided that Silver Hill
was the heaven of the United States
and invested in forty acre planta-
ton, where he will raise melons, cot
ton cane and Johnny cakes. While
the mild winter may be drawing
card and advantage over this coun-
try, we predict their stay will be a
short one and we expect to soon see
this family back in our midst again.
The south is too slow for these people
and no doubt after couple of months
they will realize it. Four of the old.
est children remain to care and work
the old homestead north of town.
While we wish them safe journey
and good time during their stay, we
also in connection bespeak to them a
welcome back-kiron News

BOYS SHOOT ARC LIGHTS.
Cause Electric Light Co. Considerable
Expense and Worry-Officers
Requested to Make Arrests

The Denison Electric Light & Pow
er company have been at considerable
expense for the past year or two re-
placing electric arc lights that have
been damaged by small boys who have
been using them for targets and caus-
ing their destruction by means of air
rifles and sling shots. The company
has notified the authorities to be on
the lookout for any such demeanOrs
and arrest those who are found de-
stroying the property Of the company.
Only last Saturday City Marshal A. c.
Weeks discovered young boy shoot
ing at an arc with an air rifle and
found that he had shot hole through
one of them. This young man barely
escaped large fine only by the len
iency of the officials of the electric
light company This offense is by no
means small one and if the officials
wanted to they could prosecute such
an offender and cause a large fine to
be paid. We trust that the boys of
Denison will be more careful in the
future and not use valuable property
for targets for rifle and sling shots.
The streets of Denison have been
in total darkness the past few nights
on account of breakdown of the arc
light machine in the power house. The
dynamo was damaged by lightning
this fall and the company at first tried
to purchase another, but found that
they could not have the machine dupli-
Gated for number of weeks and that
they could send the old one to the fac.
tory and have it returned in much less
time than new one could be made
The machine was sent and the com
pany received word Tuesday that the
machine was shipped on Monday, SO
by the latter part of this week the arc
lights will be burning as usual. The
electric light company are doing their
best to give the citizens of Denison ex.
cellent service, but of course cannot
be blamed for damage done by the
elements.

Iowa City, Dec. 1O-To organize
State University of Iowa clubs in ev-
cry county in the state during the hol-
idays is the undertaking of the Great
err University committee at S. U. l.
AS one of the steps F. R. Menagh,
of Denison, has been selected as as
sistant organizer for his county. The
object of the club is to meet at least
once a year to revive old college
memories and discuss a subject of in
terest to all of the twelve or fifteen
thousand sons and daughters of the
university living in Iowa. The sug-
gested topic for the first IS. U. l. Re-
union Fortnight" is How can a
country club be of the greatest serv-
ice to the university" These gather
ings will be either business meetings,
banquets, dinners or receptions. The
work of forming these clubs will be
in charge of the graduates and for
mer students living in the county.
The details will be taken care of by
the undergraduate conveners from
that community now attending the
university.
A gigantic student County Rally"
will be held in Iowa City just before
the holiday vacation at which reports
on the scheduled meetings will be
heard. The universty's auditorium
will resemble a state political cOnven-
ton on that day as each county dele
CATION will be headed by a big ban,
ner and each will have yell leader.

MISS PHELAN COMPLlMENTED.
Omaha Paper Pays Compliment to
Daughter Of Former Denison Fam
lily, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed PheIan.

One of the best known and import
ant officers of the Omaha Woman's
club is the doorkeeper. This young
woman stands at the entrance to the
assembly and sees that none enter
except those who are entitled to en-
trance This year this important Of
flee is held by Miss Helen Phelan,
daughter of Mrs. Ed Phelan. This is
| Miss Phelan's third year and SO eX-
pert has she become at scrutniZins
faces that very seldom indeed can one
slip by without showing her card.
When the club was first organized
it was the duty of the chairman of
the house and home committee to at
tend the door or to deputize some
member of her committee to have this
place. This was tried for several
years then it was decided to have
some one not a member of the club to
act in this capacity.
Miss Emily Bolz was the first Of
fetal doorkeeper She served for sew
eral years. She resigned and her place
was given to Miss Grace Sorenson.
After Miss Sorenson's resignation,
Miss Phelan was appointed and is
still holder of the place.
None of the official doorkeepers
have been members of the club, the
executive committee deeming it best
to have non-member assume these
duties, but there is new ruling in
the club which applies to daughters
of members and Miss Phelan is now
junior member of the club
Miss Phelan is exceedingly popular
with the club members and no mat
ter how strict she is in enforcing the
club rules there is no hard feeling,
for she always has smile and pleas
ant word to aid her in enforcing the
law.

Fox one morning.
Mr.. Rabbit is a good friend OF mine,
and he has plenty OF furniture and good
things to eat. so do not see why I
need bother to plan for this winter. I
am sure he would feel hurt II I did not
take advantage Of our friendship and
borrow what need from him"
One day when Mr.. Rabbit was gather
ing the last OF his late vegetables from
his garden Mr.. Fox looked over the
fence.
Good morning. friend Rabbit" he
said; what fine vegetables you have:
you certainly are a lucky fellow to have
a friend like me to appreciate them.
and I will take the largest of them
home with me. as am larger than you
and need more to eat"
Mr.. Rabbit picked out the largest and
gave them to Mr.. Fox. Yes. friendship
is a great thing" he remarked: II feel
that | am greatly blessed to be able to
make my friends happy"
Il am really doing Mr.. Rabbit a IA

"he could not eat all he has, and /
know he has no place to put them"
When the weather became cold MIR
Fox awoke one morning and shivered.
Il really must borrow a blanket from
Mr.. Rabbit today" he said: he will be
glad to lend 1t to me-"
So after breakfast he trotted of to
Mr. Rabbits.
Good morning." he said when Mr.
Rabbit opened the door to his knock; 81

Mr. Rabbit went to his bed and took
off the only blanket he had and gave II
to Mr.. Fox. II am greatly blessed" he
said. ito have a friend like you; there
Is nothing in the world like friendship
Later I'm the winter when II grew
colder Mr.. Fox said Il really must

will be glad TO lend It to me-"
He ran to Nh. Rabbits and knocked
at the door. Good morning" he said
II have come to borrow your stove.

you are so small that you can get or

Yes, indeed" said Mr.. Rabbit, for h

SO Mr.. Fox carried off Mr.. Rabbit

hardly enough food to keep from starry
