Dabbles in the Fine Arts.

Nor did his military duties take up
all his time. Like his father. who has
dabbled in the fine arts, his heir also
has tried his hand at composing
music and painting pictures. But
AYERS DR.. Linman, he is not at all con.

he has finished picture he smilingly

But such activities are merely sec

man is a soldier. DR.. Linman writes:
HE does his duty just like any one
of his comrades, from early morning
until the moment when the rest Of
his fellow officers are relieved. And
sometimes even he stays behind a
couple of hours to listen to the in

REPUBLICANS
HOLD A SESSION
Republican County Central Committee
Holds Meetings Monday and
Transaets Important Business
MOORE FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY
Committeeman Elected for Those Pre-
cincts Who Failed to Elect at
the June Primaries.

Republican County Chairman |. A.

for meeting of the county central

err as the time was too short. The OBJ

Cured since June.

of w. S. Moore be placed upon the
ticket for the office of county attor-
ney. The motion on being put was
carried and Mr.. Moore was declared
the nominee. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Moore was elected at the
June primaries, but later on withdrew
his name for purely personal reas-
ons. Shortly after his withdrawal the
report was circulated that Mr. Moores
name was withdrawn because lie
could not support Senator Cummins.
This report, Mr.. Moore says, was err
roneous, that he had supported Mr..
Cummins whenever opportunity pre-
scented itself and was supporting him
at this time.
At the Monday meeting committee
men were appointed for those pre-
cincts who did not elect at the pri-
maries. and the following named gen
tlemen were appointed:

Writes Like a True Soldier.

In another piece of writing by the
crown prince his essentially soldierly
nature comes to the fore. This is the
preface written by him for Germany
in Arms" book dealing. with the
German army and navy, in which he
gave forth these warning words:
"Our, fatherland. more than other
lands. is compelled to look to its de
lenses. Badly protected by its un
favorable geographical position, ly
ing in the center of Europe, not look
ed upon by all nations with affection
the German empire more than all 9th
err nations of this old earth has the
holy duty before it of keeping its army
and navy always up to the highest
point of readiness for war. In that
way alone, leaning on our good sword
can we win our place in the sun
which. though our due, is not willing
ly allowed to u.s."
And further along in the same war.
like piece of writing the crown prince
has this to say:
IF the German people decide to risk
life and property in a war, then let
the world be full OF devils and rise
against us in arms, we can handle it.
no matter how great the peril of the
hour"
During the crown princes long stay
in Dansic at the head of his regiment
"a stay forced upon him as pun
ishment, it is said, for his obstreper-
BUSINESS in Berlin-he gave plenty of
chances to those DESTROYS OF studying
his character. This part offs his ca
reer is summed up by Dr.iGLinman
thus: 30
people qualified to Judge declare
that Crown Prince Wilhelm kept his
regiment at Dansic in excellent shape
He knew every man and every horse,
concerned himself with every detail
of the service, gave personal atten-
ton to everything, and saw to it that
he should not be accused Of being a
mere figurehead."

TO the real sportsman the great book

BEGINNING OF
GREATEST SEASON
Denison on Threshold Of Her Greatest
Season-The Coming Of Fall and
the Opening Of Business.
EXTENDS A GREETING TO ALL
DenIson Municipality and Business
Men Ready for Fall Customers.
Crops Never Fail Here.

Denis n dry goods stores, clothing
stores and millinery stores were il
full fall attire last week and from now
on everything will be hurry and hustle
Thursday was the opening OF the
fall business and the many enterpris
ing merchants had their stores deco
rated and trimmed for the occasion
And while the merchant is busy with
his wares the sound of the hammer
is to be heard on all sides. Many
splendid residences are yet to be
finished before the cold weather, and
activity is much in evidence among
carpenters and contractors.
Every body is happy and the com
ing Of the cooler fall days puts ginger
and snap into ones movements. The
autumn days are here and all are
contented and for the most part pros
porous.
Another fall season has rolled
around and Denison is herself again.
AL work and no play applies to NUM-
Cipalities and business men as well
as the small boy. Denison has had
her play during the summer season
and is ready for fall and winter bus
mess:
Goodfellowship is shown on every
hand-business men are courteous to
the hundreds Of customers who look
to them not only for entertainment
but for the seasons requirements.
With convenient railroad service,
good roads. splendidly lighted bus
mess streets and uneXcelled lines Of
merchandise-every inducement Is Of
fered the customer from far and near.
The center of one Of the richest
counties in the state of Iowa, Denison
knows no crop failure Grains may be
little light, grasses little short,
but CORN, always. 1t is the proud
assertion Of many old timers that old
Crawford never witnessed complete
crop failure. One crop after another,
and now this years crop has been
harvested. and in short time the
corn will have been stored. Peace
and prosperity reigns.
Prosperous farmers mean prosper.
ity for city and country, and the city
of Denison has been keeping pace with
prosperous Crawford county. Not only
has Denison made and is making
strides, but her business men are &C.
complishing wonders.
And with the opening of next spring
we trust that our business men will
see to it that active steps are taken
for paving. This question is already
asserting itself at this time. The in
stallation of the electrolier system has
been such as to meet the requirements
of paved streets; the telephone COM
pany contemplates the placing of con-
siderable cable under ground and
grades are being established to accord
with paving grades. The paving ques-
ton is rapidly working itself into
prominence and but needs stimulant
now and then.
Yes. come to Denson this fall and
do your trading, you are welcome
and you will be accorded every courte-
sy-you will enjoy trading. selecting
merchandise from new. fresh stocks,
and at prices consistent with good
business principles.

The Crown Prince no Chocolate Soldier

Tho crown prince Of Germany, the
kaisers eldest son, has apparently
come into his own.
For years he has been leading ad-
vocate of a warlike policy for Ger
many. He has identified himself en-
tirely with the army. He has resent
ed anything that bore the faintest re-
semblance to slur upon it, enthusi-
astically commended utterances OF q
militaristic tendency, and became at
times so outsokenly belligerent that
his imperial father was compelled to
curb his ardor. An instance of this
was his Punishment to Dansic few
years ago.; and it was authoritatively
reported that similar measures were
contemplated after the crown princes
praise OF Lieutenant Colonel Froben-
JUS recently published pamphlet Ger
many's Fateful Hour in which that
officer spoke of England's ''stealthy
plans" against Germany Frances
thirst for revenge and Russias hatred
of all things Teutonic.
Far From Banishment Now.
But now this youthful advocate of
lieved imminent actually under way.
And, instead of Punishment" and re.
preston, he has received from his
father, the emperor, the much covet.
ed Iron Cross for a brilliant victory
placed to his credit against the
French in Lorraine. 1t would Ger.
tainly appear that the fire eater has
come into his own with vengeance.
What manner of man he is becomes
now matter of general interest. and,
to supply the information, a book
called Der kronprinz." by DR.. Paul
Linman, has made its oportnue ap-
pearance in Germany.
1t seeks to describe the crown
prince, to make clear the reasons for
the various acts that have brought
him into the limelight Of late years.
and also to make guess at how he
will solve the problems confronting
his native land when he becomes en-
peror.
Doctor Linman felt sure war was
coming, but he thought that it would
not come until Kaiser Wilhelm II. had
been gathered to his fathers. Instead
OF heading armies in Lorraine as
crown prince, the German author as
sumed that Wilhelm IFS eldest son
would direct them as emperor in Ber-
lin.

cnce Number Of Accidents-Fam-
lily Thrown From Auto.

An automobile accident which might
easily have resulted in the death OF
the occupants of two cars took place
Sunday afternoon in Goodrich town
ship near the old Hensen place.
The Popkin car and Willard Turn
err car ran headlong into each other
and badly damaged both cars. Mr.
Jepsen and daughter were riding in
the Turner machine and the little girl
was slightly injured.
The cars collided with such force
that it took more than an hour to get
them separated and righted around
1t is not known just who to blame for
the accident and the occupants are
congratulating themselves over their
narrow escape.
Thursday was a bad day for the
crew and machine of VIM. Baak. In
the morning Art SchwarZ was coupling
the engine to the separator and while
so doing got his hand caught, getting
several scratches. Later Ernest Baak
got his hand caught in some cog
wheels getting his hand out in time
with only few bruises. At last the
wind stacker broke and the crew de-
cided that it was a bad day, so they
resolved not to thresh any more that
day, making it day of rest.
Last Friday Gust and William Schau
with the latter's two daughters, took
a ride to the T. Schau home in an
auto. When coming home they upset,
damaging the auto considerable and
Gust received some very bad scratches
on the face. VIM. came out with part
of his right ear gone and several
scratches on the face. One of the
girls received few bruises, the other
coming out without any injury. The
occupants were lucky that they were
not killed the way the car was turned
A doctor was called and dressed the
wounds. They are all making as
good showing as could be expected
at this time.
