London, July 22.-King George to-
day reviewed the ceremony of in
stallation in the Order of the Bath,
which has been in disuse since 1915.
The ceremony took place at King
Henry the Seventies chapel in West
minister Abbey, which was first set
apart for that purpose in 1925. To-
days ceremony, carried out with ap-
propriate pomp in the presence of
the king and queen, and under the
direction of Prince Arthur, Duke of
Connaught, encouragement of Cana
da, who is grand master of the order,
is rather belated observance of the
599th anniversary Of the foundation
of the order
The order was reconstructed under
George 1: The great master was the
Duke of Montagu, and the first and
principal companion was Prince Will
liam, afterwards Duke of Cumber-
land, and Victor of Culloden.

Prior to 1875 the Order of the Bath
did vie in rank with the Order OF
the Garter, and Knights of the Bath
were rarely created except at the
time of a coronation. In 1912 extra
knights were authorized and created
at odd times. In 1915 the Order was
divided into three classes, the then
Knights becoming Knights Grand

order were distributed among the
newly formed classes of knights

OUTSIDERS Are
CONINGF0RWARD
Localities Showing Little Strength in
Last Count Are Now Forging
Among the Leaders.
BIG CONTEST FAIRLY STARTED
Within Next Ten Days Many Young
Ladies Will Rival Leaders in
Reviews Circulation Contest

AS will be noticed in this weeks is
sue the greatest gain of votes has
been made since the beginning OF the
Reviews big circulation contest and
this no doubt is due to the fact that
the weather has been more favorable
the past week and has enabled the
young ladies in the contest to secure
more votes. 1t Will be noticed that the
standing of the contestants has been
changed considerable. Localities
which did not show much strength in
the last count of votes have forged
ahead and are now among the lead
ers. The big circulation contest has
just fairly started and we expect that
within the next week or ten days sew
eral other young ladies will be show
ing the leaders that they too are in
the contest. 1t seems that some of
the contestants have just begun to
realize that this is an automobile
contest and they have become aware
that the przes in the Review circu-
lation contest are OF great value and
we'll worth their best efforts. This is
an opportunity for a young lady to
win a five passenger Automobile by
devOting some of her spare time
among her friends and aequaintances
and securing new and old subscrip-
tiOns for Crawford cOunty's leading
1t is not hard to secure

generally recognized that the Review
is the newsiest PAPER by the people of

OILED STREETS
DISAPPOINTING
Monday Was Trying Day for Advo-
Gates Of Oiled Streets-Rather
Oiled Dust Prevailed.
PAVING WILL SOLVE QUESTION
Council Should Provide for Paving a
Few Blocks in the Business
Section at Once.

Monday was a bad day for the ad-
vocates of street oiling The
strong wind carried the dust from the
streets into the stores and offices and
every place where the smallest atom
of dust could penetrate, and to such
an extent that the floors were cover
ed so that the tracks of person eros
sing the room could be plainly seen.
The stores where the doors were re-
Quired to be open were full of duss.
and goods and show cases We're cover
ed with it. No such argument has been
produced against oilhlg the streets as
the one backed up by the wind on Mon
day. We are inclined to believe that
nothing short of paving will solve the
problem for Denison and, while We
would not favor such an order as was
made by our council two or three years
ago, covering the whole town, we do
believe that it is the duty of the city
council to provide for the paving of a
few blocks in the center of the city
and that protest coming from those
whose opinions are influenced by the
amount which it will cost them should
not prevail with the council.
Other towns the size of Denison are
beginning a system OF paving. and if
we do not make move in this direc-
ton we will simply be out classed.
One thing Is certain and that is the
use Of oil is disappointing.

RALLY DAY

Last Sunday was rally day in the
Sunday school of the First Methodist
church in this city. The church had
been tastefu1ly decorated with flowers,
fruits and other autumnal scenery,
which resembled a shady grove fringed
with an abundant harvest and if there
had been any frost in sight it would
have suggested the lines of Whitcomb
Riley, when the frost is on the pump
kin and the folders IN the shock. .
Both the pumpkin and fodder in the
shock were in evidence. but the frost
was lacking as there is never any frost
in a Methodist Sunday school. The
services were of more than ordinary
Importance and every one was delight
ed with the splendid program and the
spirit of hopefulness which prevailed
in the church and Sunday school work.
The officers Of the Sunday school con-
gratulate themselves that the atten-
dance which is now surprisingly large
will be greatly increased in the near
future.

THE DELEGATES
MAKE REPORT
Interesting Meeting Of Commercial
Club Friday Evening"; Not Many
Road Enthusiasts Present.
200 BOOSTERS AT THE VALLEY
Valley Meeting and Reports Great
Enthusiasm at That Place.

a goodly number OF the members of
the Commercial club were present at
the meeting at the club rooms Friday
evening to listen to the reports
brought from Detroit by the delegates
who We're sent there by the club to at
tend the first meeting of the Lincoln
Memorial Highway association. Messrs.
#. j. Garrison, w. c.. Rollins and Herb
Fishel were all present and talked to
the members of the club on the great
project which is now under way.
1t was most interesting meeting
and it is too bad that more of the
good roads enthusiasts were not pres
ent. The Denison delegates are en-
thusiastic over the proposition and all
are OF the opinion that the highway
coming through Crawford county will
mean more to the county than any M
prOvement which has been made for
years They were loud in their praise
for the hackers of this great highway
and say that they are gentlemen who
are devoting their time and energies
to the promotion and completion of
this great transcontinental highway
without a thought of receiving any
compensation whatever for their ef-
forts.
Our delegates feel confident that the
$4,000, 900 will be raised by the asso-
citation in the course of few months
and that the subscriptions are fairly
pouring into the head office. Contri-
buttons are coming from the large
automobile concerns Of the country
and also from manufacturers of high
way road machinery, cement factories,
bricks manufacturers and thousands Of
certificates have been issued to indi-
viduals who have contributed $500 or
more towards this great project. We
have been advised that the Sherwin-
Williams Paint company has donated
paint enough to mark the entire route
from New York City to San Francisco
and it is estimated that car load

Secretary Rollins of the Transcont-
mental Route association informs US
that action is being taken along the
entire route and enthusiastic meetings
are being held nearly every day at
towns along the route. Towns in Ne
braska are probably the most active
at present, and he says that the route
across that state is already marked
with the official Lincoln highway
signs. Mr.. Frederickson, formerly an
dealer in Omaha. is devot-
ing practically all of his time further
ing the route through Nebraska. The

do away with many bridges in the

course will be much more direct and
with fewer turns.

that place to take up the matter of
the Lincoln highway, and at which
time they settled on a plan of future

SHERIFF GETS
HORSE THIEVES
Popular Sheriff Adds to His Reputa
tion by Capturing TWO Young
Thieves Near MapIeton.
Young Men Taken to Carroll Where
They Plead Guilty and Were
Given indeterminate Sentence

H. j. Cummings, our popular sher-
if, has added to his reputation as a
detective within the last few days. 1t
seems that on Saturday last two young
men stole team harness and
buggy on the streets of Manning
and hurriedly left that locality, COM
ing in the direction of Denison, and on
Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock mess
age came to Sheriff Cummings giving
him what facts could be CLEANED con-
corning the team, harness and buggy
and as far as possible description
of the young men under suspicion.
Mr.. Cummings Immediately COM
menced looking out for the criminals
and kept the telephone busy for some
time, and finally was able to get trace
of the boys at farm house north of
Charter Oak. He Immediately en-
tered into communication with the
sheriff at Carroll, who came on the
evening train and with Mr.. Cummings
started in pursuit of the culprits.
When they reached the farm house
north OF Charter Oak they discovered
that the team had passed through the
neighborhood some time during the
evening and the boys had broken into
a dwelling house and secured a large
assortment of food and provisions and
had hurried on through the town
of Berne and later through Mapleton.
After leaving Mapleton the officers
discovered where the boys had
cooked their breakfast and by that
time they were able to trace them by
inquiries along the road and some time
later in the day overlook them and ar
rested them, returning the team to
Mapleton, where it was given two or
three days to rest before returning it
to Manning.
The boys were taken to Carroll by
train, where they are now confined in
the jail of that county. The boys
when arrested claimed their residence
at MapletOn, but citizens of that place
were able to convince the officers that
they had never llved there and that
their residence was in the neighbor-
hood of Manning, from which place
the team was stolen.
The two young men later gave their
names as Frank Manning, II years of
age, of New York City, and Francis
Decartier, 10 years old, of San Fran
cisco, Cali. Both young men plead
guilty to the charge of stealing team
and buggy and each drew an indeterm
mate sentence at the Anamosa re-
formatory 1t is believed by Sheriff
Cummings that the young men gave
fictitious names and that they are both
residents of this state.

COURSE
FEBRUARY 9.l4
Extension Department OF State Asri.
cultural College Sets Date for the
Oenison Short Course.
OFFICERS ARE TO MEET SOON
Denison Much Better Prepared fot
Short Course This Time Than
Last-PeopIe Realize Benefits

W. C. Rollins, secretary of the
Crawford County Short Course asso-
citation, has received word from the
extension department of the State Ag-
ricultural college that the short course
will be held in Denison February 9th
to 14th. Mr.. Rollins is greatly pleased
with the dates which have been given
US this year as he is of the opinion
that February is much better month
for the short course than January. Peo-
pie generally are not so busy at that
time and will be better able to attend
the course.
Doubtless the officers of the associa-
ton will hold meeting within the
next few days and commence work on
the premium list and get everything
in readiness for short course week. 1t
will take considerable time to pre-
pare the premium lst and secure suit
able places for the different lectures
during the week. Denison Is much bet
ter able to handle the proposition than
it was q year ago, for the numerous
buildings under, course of construc-
ton will be available in February.
The Review looks forward to a bet
ter short course In February than was
held last year in January. People
have just begun to realize the benefits
to be derived from attending the
course and we know of many who did
not attend the last course that are max
ing plans to attend every meeting next
year. Special effort will be made to
make it a red letter week in DenisOn
and every business man will cooper
ate with the short course officials in
making it one of the best short
courses ever held in the state. Let
every farmer plan to attend the short
course in February.
