.DENlS0N BOWS TO
COUNCIL BLUFFS
Football Boys Lose Saturdays Game
After Hard 6attIe-Over Con-
fidence Brings Defeat.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, 1s; DENIsoN,
Denison Fails to Break Interference
of Bluffs Team Who went Around
Ends for Good Gains.

Over confidence and lack of team
work We're the principle reasons for
the defeat OF the local High school
team last Saturday afternoon when
they were defeated by Il score of Is
to at the local gridiron. The Deni-
son boys might have easily won this
game but for the fact that they went
into it believing that they could at
least hold the visitors down to to
@ score and might possibly be able
to make a touchdown or two. The
defeat Of Jefferson the Saturday be-
fore by score OF 81 to Z had a telling
effect on the team and there was not
the fight nor aggressiveness in the
team that had been there the previous
game. Then too, the Denison boys
played an individual game and the
absence OF team work was marked
from start TO finish.
The Council Bluffs team was per-
haps little heavier than our boys
but their plays were pulled Off with
precision and every man knew just
what position he played. Their in
terference was really wonderful and
had Denison been able to break this
the result would have been different.
DeEisOn's line held like stone wall
and after few line smashes the Wis
itors gave up hopes OF making gains
in this manner and resOrted to end
runs and forward passes which with
good interference won the game for
them.
Seeman kicked off to Council Bluffs
and the game was on. 1t was a fine
kick the pig skin being caught by a
Council Bluffs man on their five yard
line. The visitors tried a forward
pass but failed and after a try for
line smash were forced to punt and
the ball going out of bounds was re-
gained by Council Bluffs at about the
center of the field. They once more
tried line smash but Carey broke
through their defence and downed the
man five yards back of where they
had put the bali in play. This loss
on the last down gave Denison the
ball. Denison was successful in max
ing headway towards Council Bluffs
goal line but when within few yards
of the coveted goal line the visitors
braced UP and Denison was unable
to gain Il foot OF ground and after
hard playing back and forth the first

STATION AGENT THERE % YEARS
Had Been in Employ of the c. M. G.
ST. p. Railway "a Years-Fun-
eral Held on Sunday.

! The death of f. A. Jackson, of Ma
nilla. brought feeling of sadness anG
gloom not only to Manila where he
| resided but to other parts of the
county where he was known. The
| loss OF such man must necessarily
be felt wherever he is known. His
death occurred on Wednesday last
Oct. IA. 1914, at his home in Manila
he being at the time of his death
sixty years, two months and twelve
days OF age.
Frederick Arthur Jackson was a
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Barnabus NJ.

city and received his early education
III private school room connected
with his parents home. At the age
OF sixteen he entered Wheaton college
at Wheaton. Ill. When eighteen years
of age, he took up his first position
as station agent ana in this work he
spent forty-two years OF his life. thirty
four years of which were spent with
the c. NJ. & st. P. Ry. Co. Twenty
eight years OF this time he served as
agent for the company at Manila and
was rated as one of the most efficient
and obliging agents in the employ Of
the company.
On March 30, 1876. at Lafayette. H..
he was united in marriage with Miss
Jennie Williams who has been in ev-
cry sense helpmate to him during
all the years since their marriage. To

ing, Mrs. George Potter, OF Galva, Ill.
1t is unnecessary to say to those who
knew Mr.. Jackson that he was 4 high
minded citizen and contributed his
mite toward raising a higher stand
ard OF citizenship. In his relations to
other men he always impressed them
that his ambition was to live an up
right life and to deal with his neigh
bors along the line of the golden rule.

making a score.
The second quarter proved fatal for
Denison for the speedy visitors made
two touchdowns but failed to kick
goal either time. Both Of these touch-
downs were made with successful end
runs Denison being unable to break
the excellent interference. During
this quarter Council Bluffs success
fully pulled off a couple of forward
passes. Gary, Bouslough, Seeman and
|, Poole did some great playing during
this quarter. The score ut the end OF
the first half stood II to 0 in favor
of the visitors.
During the intermission Coaches
Knowlton and Weiss gave the boys
some good advise and When they re-
turned to the field it was evident that
they intended to even up things if
possible. The second half was hard
fought battle and time was taken out
often in order that the players might
rest. Several OF the Denison boys
were replaced with members of the
reserve team during this half regular
players having been injured.
In the third quarter Bousiough re-
ceived the kickoff and made nice
gain carrying the ball to about the
center OF the field. kuehnle, who Ell
tered the game during this quarter al
so made q good end run. Council
Bluffs tightenad up after this play and
Denison lost the ball on downs.
Council Bluffs was unable to make
much headway against Denison and
soon lost the ball and with success
sion OF end runs and pretty forward
pass to Bouslough, Denison got within
three yards of the Council Bluffs
goal line and everyone held their
breath believing that the bail would
be pushed over. An unfortunate
thing happened however and the ball
was iumbled and Council Bluffs got it.
They could make no gain against the
local team however and endeavored
to punt but this was blocked and Den
ison regained the ball within a few
feet OF the visitors goal line. kuehn
lie was given the signal and with
pretty end run scored. Seemann kick
ed goal making the score 12 to Z.
The last quarter was nip and tuck
between the two teams but after nu-
merous end runs and some successful
forward passes the visitors landed be-
hind Denison's goal for another touch
down but failed on the goal kick.

The gasoline tractor has again
made its appearance and has been do
ing some mighty good work on the
streets for the past few days. The
heavy steel drags have smoothed out
the ruts and bumps on the principal
streets and today the engine is be-
ing used to pull the grader on Locust
street which has been in bad con-
dition.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-10-21

There is considerable complaint
from motorists about the poor condi
tion OF the road between Denison and
Vail. This road has been graded re-
Gently, but evidently no effort was
made to smooth it up when the work
was completed and it is about the
toughest stretch for miles around. If
pains had been taken and king drag
used over it few times while the
dirt was still stoft the present bad
condition would not exist. Poor
roads are bad advertisement for a
community and pains should be taken
to keep the main roads in the best
possible condition.

Edward Breen, an old time travel
ing man who has made Denison for
years, died a few weeks ago at his
home in Clinton. He had been in de-
clining health for several months.
This item will be Of interest to many
OF our business men who have pur-
chased the Henry George cigar from
him for years. While peddling his
wares he interested his customers
and those who CHANGED to be about
with his slight of hand exhibitions, at
which he was past master The old
guard who knew him as an interesting
character will note his death with re-
gret.

Doubt may be expressed as to the
unused lands being the main cause OF
the hard times but there isn't much
doubt that the Alberta economists are

which are opposing the suggestion TO
establish az auto truck ma-.utactur-
ing plant 20 be manned By convicts and
managed D. rae state I'll, a-d them
selves II agreement with the majority
OF thoughtful men. The suggestion
might be carried on 70 include ever
line o. factory work and supply.
We do not desire 10 put convicts IN
direct competition with factory hands
who are trying 10 earn a living and
keep out OF the penitentiary. Let that
underlie and control every sugges-
ton.
We have embarked upon an expert
ment with prison farms. Let's try that
out before establishing any state fac
| tories. The prison farm furnishes the
least hurtful competition and is the
best thing for the prisoner. The high
ways afford opportunity for use Of
hundreds Of men out doors. There is
no limit to the amount OF labor that
may be thus expended. And in these
the element OF chance which enters into
all industrial ventures and especially
into that of automobile manufacture
is lacking.
Prison management, imbued with the
strong purpose OF making men out Of
| convicts and as rapidly as possible Is
naturally prone to over enthusiasm.
The manager who amounts 70 much
needs q somewhat conservative direc-
torate hanging to his coat tails. That
is true in all business. 1t is even more
essential in public business.
Let's try out and establish our pri-
son farms and our road work before
taking any further important step.

In several cities large percentage OF

whether college graduates or not, they
are required TO know and understand

Attendance officers OF the new type
are interested in removing funda-
mental causes of truancy rather than
in merely catching the offenders. The
chief cause Of the failure to obey at

officials, is Inadequate family life. Res

WHAT IS A QUARANTINE.
iowa City Republican,


An interesting suggestion is made by
Cong gresham elect Hull in an inter
view printed in our news columns TO-
day. He would have the Iowa legis-
lature conduct an Independent investi-
cation OF the recent quarantine for the
foot and mouth disease, to determine
whether II was really a quarantine, or
merely blockade. so that in case OF
future trouble Of this character the
people of this state will know whether
1t Is proper to suffer patiently or to
resist with all their power.
UnQuestionably Iowa stock men
have sustained large losses from the
restrictions OF the last six weeks. COM
ing at the period OF the year when
cattle and hogs were ready for marke.
and could not be held on the farm
without loss. In turn this affected
practically every business in the stock
raising districts Of the state. During
these weeks It has often been said that
the enclosure of every suspected herd
in a s.ockade. and under strict super
vision, would have been more effective
than the measures taken to stop all
movement of stock in whole counties,
and for a time in the whole state.
At least it would be some satisfaction
TO know. from an official source.
whether the best methods were fol-
lowed by the federal authorities, who
dominated the situation during the late
unpleasantness.
