KNIGHTS OF THE
FULL MOON
A Number Of Denison People Contem-
plating a Night With the Full
Mooners at Council Bluffs.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER THE 18TH
Full Moon Organization Formed Year
Ago at the Bluffs As Means of
Furnishing Entertainment.

On Thursday evening of next week
the people of Denison and other towns
in this vicinity are to be entertained
by the Knights Of the Full Moon, and
& number of residents Of this county
are planning to make the trip to Coun-
Gil Bluffs on that occasion.
The Full Mooners are becoming
we'll known throughout the western
end Of Iowa for their entertainment
stunts every week Or so at the palace
of King Diasticutis in the Bluffs, and
already several citizens of this and
surrounding towns have been shown
all the mysteries of the court, from
the harem to the torture chamber.
They went down at the time OF the
Lincoln highway banquet by the Coun-
Gil Bluffs Commercial club, when a
special show and initiation was put
on for the benefit of the visitors.
1t is a safe guess that all who at
tended on that occasion will go back
to Council Bluffs for another peep at
Moonland, as the show is known, on
Thursday evening, December 18th,
when the citizens Of Crawford, Harri-
son and Monona counties will be the
guests of honor.
Already a number of invitations
have been received by people here,
and other letters will be sent out from
the Full Moon headquarters in Coun-
Gil Bluffs to residents of this county
within the next few days.
The Full Moon organization was
formed a year ago at Council Bluffs
as means of giving visitors to the
city little entertainment and good
time generally, but it was not until this
fall that the people of this section
were given any general opportunity
to become acquainted with the inner
workings of the order The members
in Council Bluffs insist on paying all
the bills and the visitors from here
will go as their guests.
The approaching meeting of the
Full Mooners for the people OF this
section seems likely to develop into
a sort of love feast for the men along
the route of the Lincoln highway, large
numbers of whom from each of the
towns on the new transcontinental
route are expected to be at the show.
A considerable number Of the en-
terprising people of this community,
as one of the live towns of the three
counties to be entertained, are ex-
pected to go to Council Bluffs to be
the guests of King Diasticutis and his
cOurtierS.

Anniversary of War Governor

On December 20, 1918, occurs the
one hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Samuel J. Kirkwood, the fam
Gus war governor of Iowa. Gov
ernor Kirkwood. a biography of whom
is being prepared by DR.. Dan e. Clark
under direction of the State Histor-
ical Society of Iowa, was born in Hart
ford County, Md, where he lived until
1885, when he moved with his parents
to Ohio At the age of twenty-eight
he began the study of law. In 1843
occurred his admission to the bar and
his marriage to Jane Clark, who still
lives in the old Kirkwood home in
Iowa City. In 1850 he served as a
member of the Constitutional Conven-
ton of Ohio.
1t was in 1855 that Kirkwood NOV
ed to Johnson county, Iowa, where he
engaged in agricultural and mercan-
tile pursuits. He almost Immediately
took part in the politics of the state.
In 1856 he was elected to the state
Senate and two years later he was
reelected. He is probably the best
known for his administration of the
office Of Governor for two terms dur
ing the Civil War, beginning in Jan.
1860. He was again elected Governor
in 1875. Mr.. Kirkwood was twice
elected United States Senator from
Iowa, once in 1866 and again in 1876;
and he served a short time in the
Presidents cabinet as Secretary of
the Interior. Mr.. kirkwood died at
Iowa City, on September l, 1894.

To make it as convenient as pos

VIII h provides that the return por-

if on wished to redeem any Penn

att, ndant delay. On August 7tb,
the Company announced that, to

EXTRA SESSION OVER.

The extra session OF Congress
which adjourned on M 'nday just be-
fore the coavening of the regular
session had bet IN session just about
eight months and is said to have been
the longest ,xtra session Of Congress-
on reno,l.
To {, k or write about Congress
being in an extra session so long is an
ordinary matter but when the people
Of the country sit down and think
ever what it means it is found that
there is food FIR much thought espe-
cially since the people bear the bur-
dens Of the expense Of the extra as
well as regular sessions of Congress.
An extra session Of Congress IL all
right when n-crssary and absolutely
needed but to the contrary when
there is no need # any such thing.
The extra session has accomplished
what for the benefit Of the people
Nothing practical. A tariff bill "a
passed which pomised to reduce the
cost of living but has it done SO
Not yet hnd it is not likely TO do SC
either. What else has the extra SEES
sion Of Congress done to warrant the
long session and the cost to the peo-
pie: Practically nothing. 1t rs tc
be hoped that the day is far distant
when another such burden is thrust
upon the good people of this great
nation. The regular session just be-
ginning could have accomplished al
that the extra So sion did and in just
as short time. Ere another twc
years have elapsed there will be |
change Of political power in oul
national congress and the people
once more come truly into their own

PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS


Tie innovation in the manner Of
delivering his Message to Congress
by President Wilson appear from ali
indications to have met with favor

rightly So for the reason that deliver

them to be heard by the members of
Congress and its brevity causes 1t to
be read by many who would other
wise not do so.
The message Is as brief as a mes
age Of this kind could he and to the
