AS luck has it, Christmas Day
comes this year on Thursday
the Enterprise publication day
just two more issues intervening
in which the merchants may take
advantage of our columns to dis
play their holiday goods. All be-
lieve in keeping the money to be
spent on such occasions at home,
and so do we, but how are you
going to do it without first let
ting the people of this vicinity
know that you have prepared for
it and can fulfill their wants?
First prepare for the holiday
trade and then advertise the fact
in the Enterprise.

All recognize the value of a
newspaper in the building up of
a great center, and all are glad
to use its columns whenever oc-
casion warrants. Every one is
convinced that no community
could thrive and prosper without
a newspaper and yet there are a
great many people that do not
feel any responsibility on their
part, even to the extent of $l.00
per year, toward maintaining so
necessary an institution. They
are glad to announce their wants
from time to time, inasmuch as
the paper exists. But it does not
seem to occur to them that as a
part of the body polite they are
in a measure responsible and
should in the interest of the com
munity, do something toward
holding things together by pat
ronizing both by subscription
and by advertising and job print
ing, if in business, the home pa
per, which is boosting them and
their community while they
sleep. Intermittent patronage
helps, of course, but it is the
steady, week in and week out
patronage which a newspaper
needs. If YOU have not been
sharing the responsibilities of
this community, begin now by
getting your name on the Enter
prise list, and your regular adyer-
tisement in its colums.

WHERE JULY is HOTTEST.

, Edwin c. Martin, author of the

that the worlds record for the high

bureau record, a record of 12S de-
grees at Salton in the same reglor
has the weather bureaus indorse-

With all of it's inconvenience
the farmers and everybody are
rejoicing over the recent big
snowfall. Fortunately it has not
drifted and lays like great fluffy

wheat which needed the moist
ure. The ground was in splen-
did condition to receive the snow
not having been frozen-and
as it melts will drink in the
moisture which will leave the
soil in fine condition for nsxt

the value of snow in this section
of the country and, instead of
complaining, everyone is thank
full and glad.

Lecturer Entertains.

The lecture course entertainment at
the Saggau hall on Saturday night
was furnished by Mr.. Totten, assist
ed by his daughter. 1t was unfortu-
nate that no provision had been made
for the entertainment before his ar.
rival in the city on late train. What
ever was done in the way of prepara-
ton was after the audience, in the
main, had been seated in the hall and
it furnished no amusement or enter
tainment to witness the erection of
fixtures and hanging of curtains. This
preliminary work required so much
time that it was almost 8 o'clock be-
fore the entertainment could begin.
The audience seemed to enjoy the
exhibition. 1t was fairly good one,
but consisted almost entirely of slight
of hand performance. He apologized
because he was unable to give his en-
tertainment as he said he could give
it if he had more stage room. The
truth is, the professor is not in the
class of the better magicians such
as Kellar and Herman, but perhaps
a better entertainment would have
been furnished if conditions had been
more favorable.

ETHEL CHAMBERLIN
WINS AT LAKE CITY
Delivers "A Woman's Bright Inven-
ton" in Such a Manner as to Win
First Honors and Applause
ENTERS CONTEST AT SPENCER
Judges Award Miss ChamberIin High
est Markings of Any Contestant
in Contest at Lake City.

Miss Ethel Chamberlin, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. E. G. Chamberlin of this
city, won honors for the Denison high
school as we'll as for herself at the de.
clamatory contest at Lake City Fri
day evening, March 14th, when she
won first place in the humorous class
Several weeks ago when the de
clamatory contest was held in Deni
son Miss Chamberlin won first place
not only in the humorous class, but
was awarded first over all by the
judges, which gave her the opportun
ity to compete in the preliminary to
the Northwest Iowa District Declam-
atory contest, which was held at Lake
City Friday evening.
Miss Chamberlin delivered the hu-
morous selection, "a Woman's Bright
Invention" being the same one she
delivered here and was awarded first
place. There were only two entries in
the humorous class in which she COM
peted at Lake City, the other being
Miss Cora Gardner, of Onawa, who de-
livered "Budd's Fairy Tale" but this
young lady, according to the decision
of the judges, did not come up to Miss
Chamberlin's standard. Out Of the
eight entries in the contest, which in
cluded those competing in the ora
torical, dramatic and humorous class
es, we understand that the judges
gave Miss Chamberlin the highest
rank of any contestant. She handled
her subject exceedingly we'll and cap
tivated the audience with her easy
manner of delivery and seemed to be
perfectly at home on the platform.
Her gestures and expression showed
that she had received perfect train
ing, as these points were especially
commended by the judges.

The wearing of a corset today has
become a science, and not merely
tad as in years gone by. 1t is as nee
essary in selecting corset to have it
fit your figure as it is for your shoes
to fit your feet-and right now, we
want to tell you that there are as
many poor fitting corsets as there
are poor fitting shoes.
r. & G. Rustless Corsets are made
in such large variation of models
that you can find the style that will
fit your figure perfectly. Our sales
ladies are instructed that you must
get the model built for your figure.
We invite every lady in Denison to
come in and see the new 1913 models
of r. & G.. Rustless Corsets. You
should do this before buying or max
ing any of your new garments.

were largely attended by friends from
Crawford and Sac counties.
Mr.. Aug Meyer was born in Sax
ony, Germany, Feb. 12, 1885. He was
one of family of three children. At
the age Of six years he was deprived

Mr.. and Mrs Meyer came to Ameri-
ca in 1865, settling at Pontiac, III. In
the fall of 1871 they came to Denison.
where Mr.. Meyer engaged in the ho-

will remember his place on Broadway
just opposite the court house on the
south. In 1881 a move was made to a
farm in Jackson township, and in 1899
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer moved into Lake
View, where they have since resid-

New Business Blocks and Residences

For Much Work.

Monday was the day set by the gov
ernment for the sealed bids for the
erection of the federal postoftice build
ing in Denison, and no doubt by this
time the contract has been let for it's
erection. Up to this time Custodian
Postmaster Alfred G. Wright has not
received notice who the successful
bidder was. 1t was no doubt an out
of town party for so far as we have
learned no local contractor made bid
on the work. The specifications were
made up in such manner that it
would be almost impossible for local
party to handle it and the successful
bidder no doubt, is one who is famil-
lar with government work and in
position to meet all the requirements
that the government has made.
The erection Of the new federal
building, together with the opera
house, means that Denison is on the
boom.

blocks will be under construction

MEET DEATH IN
RAILROAD WRECK
Mr.. and Mrs. August Meyer, of Lake
View, Killed in Union Pacific
Wreck Friday Last.
RETURNING FROM CALIFORNIA
Worst Blizzard in Twenty Years Said
to Have Been Cause of Wreck,
Death and Suffering. :.

Mr.. and Mrs. August Meyer, for
mer residents of Denison and Craw-
ford county, lost their lives last Fri
day morning, being killed in rail
road wreck on the Union Pacific at
Goettenberg, Neb., while returning
from a winters sojourn at Long
Beach, Cali. Word OF the wreck was
telegraphed The Review and relatives
of Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer notified.
The terrible accident is said t" have
been caused by the very severe bliz-
zard that ragged over the west on Fri
day last. The train in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Meyer were riding had reached
Goettenberg, and was standing in the
yards. A second train, said to be two
hours late, came rushing through the
binding snow and crashed into the
rear end of the Pullman sleeper in
which Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer were sleep
ing, killing Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer and
two others and injuring a number.
The car was a wooden one and was
split in twain. The Union Pacific
road is equipped with automatic dan
ger signals of the most improved type,
and trainmen have strict orders, and
if a signal fails to work the train is
supposed to stop and investigate the
trouble. Why the engineer ran past
two signals without taking notice has
not been explained. The injured and
dead werr cared for at Goettenberg
until a - ial train could be made
up, when t. ey were brought to Oma-
ha. Mr.. F. A. Meyer, son of Mr. and
Mrs. August Meyer, living at Auburn,
Iowa, was notified and Immediately
went to Omaha and took charge OF
his parents remains, taking the bodies
to Lake View, the home of deceased.
The funeral was held at Lake View

Plans and Specifications.
WILL BE READY FIRST OF APRIL
Old Buildings on Opera House Site to
be Sold Next Tuesday to the
Highest Bidder. -.

Monday evening the directors and
officers of the new opera house COM
pany met for the purpose of selecting
an architect to draw up the plans and
specifications for the new opera house
which will be erected in Denison this
year. There were number of archi-
tects who had bids in for the work,
and it was with some difficulty that a
selection was finally made. A Mr..
Cox, of Estherville, who does nothing
but draw plans and specifications for
opera houses, was the lowest bidder
for the work, but according to his
bids he required $500 to be paid by
the company for railroad fare and ex-
penses for each trip he made to Den
ison for the purpose OF consulting
with the board of directors and in
specting the work.

best one made, an dafter the matter
was carefully gone over it was decld-
ed that he should draw the plans and
specifications for the building. The
proposition made by Mr.. Cox was for
half the amount of his total charge
he would take stock in the new opera
house company, the other half being
paid in cash. Mr.. Cox drew up the
plans and specifications for the Bale
Brodersen store building in this city,
and is an architect of considerable
ability. He is particularly fitted to
draw up the plans for Denison's opera
house, having handled several propo-
sitions of like nature.

nearly an impossibility for the lady
or miss whose measurements are less
than the average figure to buy dress
that would fit and look right. The
skirts are designed usually in long
lengths. the waist measurements are
always much too large. Now when
we inaugurate this sale of dresses that
are designed to fit women Of smaller

but that it will be enthusiastically
welcomed by every small lady in this

superb garments. The salesman will,
in the course of selling them, show
you the beautiful lines and the excel

style, but when it comes to the max
ing of your selection, when thai mo-
ment has arrived in which you make
your decision, the most essential feat

that your figure is correctly corseted

FAIR BOOSTS NEWSPAPERS.
Value as Advertising Mediums Ratec
Far Above Bill Board Display.

Managers Of the Interstate Fair at
Sioux City have decided to use only
the newspapers to advertise their
show, which will be held September
Is to September 10, inclusive.
Joe Morton, secretary of the asso-
citation, has announced that no bill
boards will be used in boosting fair
attendance this year and that all pub
licity efforts will be directed through
the newspaper medium.
1--WE have found, said Mr.. Morton,
that the newspaper, especially the
home newspaper, gets closer to the
people and that more attention is paid
to any publicity received through such
a source, hence the bill board con-
tracts have been dropped and the fair
will make an effort to pass the
money around for advertising in the
city ard country papers.
People may think that because no
glaring posters appear the fair has
been abandoned, but the greater num-
Der will see advertisements in the pa
pers and will come to the show. A fair
is instituted for the betterment of the
entire territory it draws from, IL is
educational and thus must seek for
support from the papers. Ii is for this
eason that it a decided to spend
the advertising appropriation with
these vigilant boosters of our Sioux
City institution"
