Death Of Montgomery Ward.

Montgomery Ward, father of the
mail order business, died at his home
in Chicago on Sunday, Dec. at the
age of 70 years.
There are few homes in Crawford
county in which this name would not
have a familiar sound and few people
here realize that they had helped a
man who started on his business car
eer at Is cents day to emass for
tune estimated at $15,0O0,000. From
these figures we should judge that
there must be an immense profit in
the goods sold by mail order houses.
For a number of years the firm of
Montgomery Ward has been owned
by a corporation and it is said that
it is capitalized at 100000 and that
each year it does that amount of bus
mess.
Mr.. Ward, however, did not confine
his activities exclusively to the max
ing of money. He made many a fight
for the poorer people of Chicago and
was especially active in the protec-
ton of their public rights and privil-
eyes in the city parks and against the
encroachments of private interests.
These fights involved endless litiga-
ton in which he was uniformly vic
torious and the expense of which he
always paid himself.

Football Boys Have Banquet

The members of the 1913 football
team held their annual banquet in the
library club room Saturday evening
and from all reports it was an ele-
CANT affair. Each member of the
team had one invited guest and the
members of the high school faculty
were also in attendance.
Mrs. SillettO with her corps of able
assistants served a most delicious re-
past, after which the evening was de-
voted to speech making and the play
ing of games. The faculty of the
school came in for prominent part
and it was the opinion of those pres
ent that the faculty members were the
finest bunch of good fellows" in any
school in the state.
Leo Collins, the captain of the 1913
team, spoke of the fine record made
by the team during the season just
ended, and Jay Wescott, the newly
elected captain of the 1914 team, was
called upon to respond. The evening
was a most delightful one for all pres
ent and it was not until midnight that
the festivities came to an end.

is now following the life of a farmer,

Don't forget the college play, "The
Ranchman," to be given at the college
chapel Friday evening, December 10Th
This will be one of the best entertain
ments ever given by our college stud

two days at work remOdelling the
stage and resetting the scenery so
that We are better prepared to give

The play is full of life from beginning
to end and those who have witnessed
the rehearsals are loud in it's praise.
You cannot afford to miss this, so Sc
cure your seats early and be sure of
them. Since our chapel will only seat
about two hundred and fifty, those

disappointed. Seats will be reserved

this.

SUBMITS PROPOSITION TO VOTE
CONTINUED from Page One.)

1t is reported that some OF those
who were rampant for municipal own
ership are now hedging and refusing
to ndorse the proposition, and it is
said that some of those who were
against it in the start have come to
the conclusion that it is better to let
the experiment be tried and find out
by experience whether it will pay or
not.
We think by the time the election
is held the people will drop all pre-
JUDGE and will cast their ballots and
vote according to their convictions
without being influenced by prejudice
or the agitation which was started
some time ago. The canvassers for
names say it is question which way
the votes will go.

realize the value of the thorough cir

that the Review advertising made
him big money.
