WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES
Attraction at the Opera House Next
Monday Night Appeared in Dem
ison Fifteen Years Ago. -.

On Monday evening, August 6, Man.
aper Krauth of the Germania opera
house, has arranged to throw upon
the screen the famous comic photo
play, "What happened to Jones'" The
play is presented in five acts by
George Broadhurst and is produced by
an all-star cast, including Josia Sad
Ter, Mary CARLSON and Fred Mace,
who are among the leading photoplay
actors of the day. In looking over
the files of the Review we find the
following account of this laughter-pro-
vokng comedy which was presented
in the old Germania opera huuse
few years ago:
"The Best Vet"
1.-THE best that ever happened was
what Happened to Jones. The play
last night was the best ever given
in Denison. 1t was downright good,
wholesome fun from beginning to end
and there was not a poor player IN
the caste. This is not paid writeup,
but the truth. The Review has had
to strain. it's conscience sometimes
to avoid saying unpleasant things
about some of the trOupes that nave
been here. This is not the case with
what Happened to jones'" A COM
munity owes a genuine debt beyond
the price of admission to players who
can take people away from the cares
of life, make them forget all about
business and politics and gossip and
the other ills of life and give them
two hours OF solid, healthy fun. II
to laugh makes one fat the audience
must have gained ton last night.
The opera house makes very little
from these high grade plays at pres
ent, because the public has been de-
bauched by the repertoire compan-
les that charge and act like 30 cents.
We believe, however, that il Manager
Sibbert will continue to give us such
plays as Quo Vadis, Faust and what
Happened to jones'" that the people
will soon find that it is better to
nay good price for a good show than
a cheap price for cheap show. The
NAV last night was the equal OF any
playing in the large cities and was
thoroughly enjoyed"
Everyone who enjoys good laugh
or who wants to laugh and cant,
should see what Happened to Jones
at the Germania opera house on next
Monday evening.

Grasshoppers in Iowa.

Although it has been many years
since Iowa has been visited by grass
hoppers in large numbers, there was
a period during the sixties and seven.
ties when these pests caused untold
hardship to the farmers OF the north
western part of the State. The in
yasion of the year 1873 is described
in the following words in an article
published by the State Historical So
eciety of Iowa:
March and April of the year 1873
were cold, rainy months. The seed
ing was long delayed and when 1t was
finally accomplished the grain was
slow in sprouting and slower In COM
ing through the ground. But in May
the gloomy prospect frightened; the
fields of wheat and oats waxed luxur-
liant, and corn stretched up by leaps
and bounds. Feasting their eyes on
the promising sight the settlers felt
that they would be justified in building
new granaries, in purchasing imple-
ments, and in procuring for their fam
lilies some OF the things that had long
been denied. Tempting opportunities
for investment in railroad lands were
also afforded, and again promissory
notes were signed. But the day OF
reckoning came too soon.
when the grasshoppers which
swept over that region had finished
their work OF destruction veritable
desert remained where brief time
before there were acres OF waving
grain, 1t was estimated that not tWen-
ty-five per cent of the oat crop was
left: the corn fields had suffered
equally; while the wheat in many
places was reported to be an utter
failure"

Welded LIFE
Mr.. and Mrs. William Cole Celebrate
Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary
on Last Thursday.
LIVED IN DENIsoN FOR IS YEARS
Children and Friends Present to Help
Make Affair EnjoyabIe--Pre-
scented With Bag of Gold

An event OF unusual interest to the
people in this community was the six
tieth wedding anniversary OF Mr.. and
Mrs. William Cole. both pioneer resi-
dents of DenisOn. They came to this
place when DenisOn was in it's infancy
and have lived here to see the strug-
Cling village mature until it is now
OF Iowa. They have lived in our
midst for more than thirty-five years
and are held in high esteem by all
who know them.
Mr.. Cole is now past So years of
age and his estimable wife is in her
seventy.ninth year, and although they
are both well along life's journey are
gaining their full share of happiness
and enjoying good health. The early
years of their married life were spent
in the state of Indiana, removing from
there to Clinton, Iowa, where they
resided for few years, coming to
Denison soon after the town of Deni-
son was laid out.
The sixtieth anniversary of their
marriage was celebrated at their coy
little home on Walnut street last
Thursday, when their children, grand
children, and great grandchildren, in
number about sixty, gathered to spend
the day with them. A bOunteOus din
ner was prepared by the daughters,
which was greatly enjoyed by all and
delightful afternoon was spent in
talking over the early married life
of Mr. and Mrs Cole Rev J. L. BOyd
pastor of the Methodist Episcopal
church, with a few fitting remarks,
presented Mr.. and Mrs. Cole with =
bag of gold to serve as a pleasant re-
hinder of the love of the children.
The children present were: Rev.
+. S. Cole, of Corwith; j. H. Cole and
w. T. Cole, both of this city; Mrs:
Elmer Haworth a resident of Wis
consin; Mrs. Nate Haworth and Rob
ert Cole, both residents of this city.
The guests present We're as follows:
Mr.. and Mrs. John Cole, wife, daugh-
ter and two grandchildren; Charles
Cole, wife, daughter and two grand
children; Will Cole, wife and daugh-
ter; Robert Paper and wife, all Of
whom came down from Sac City;
Walter Cole and wife, Of Dow City;
Mrs. Philo, of near Waterloo, and
Mrs. Goddard, who resides at Clinton.
The occasion was most pleasant
one and one which will be held dear
in the hearts OF those present. The
Review joins the many friends OF Mr..
and Mrs. Cole in wishing them many
more years of health and happiness.

Those supercilious friends of the
president who are inclined to dismiss
Mr.. Bryan from consideration as a
negligible quantity, politically speak
objection Of the election returns when
either Wilson or Bryan has figured.
In 1912 Wilson received G,293,O19
votes. This is smaller number
than Bryan ever received. In 1876
the Nebraskan polled G,502,925 votes.
In 1900 he carried 6,35S,l33 of his fell
low citizens with him. And in 1908
no less than G,409,1O4 voters regis
tered their confidence in him. And
even in the presidents own state OF
New Jersey, Bryan, in 1908, succeeded
in securing the votes OF lS2,567 Jer-
seymen: whereas the best Wilson
could do in 1912 was 17S,2S9, which
was more than $4,000 below his vote
for governor in 1910. When Wilson
ran for governor he was a new man,
for whom anything and everything
could be promised; and of course lie
polle1 u big vote In 1912 New Jersey
had come to know Wilson and $4,000
of the men who had voted for him two
years earlier refused to travel further
with him, despite a specious plea OF
state pride and all the other political
bunk with which candidate seeks
home support. In 1916, reckoning at
the same ratio of loss, what will be
the Wilson vote in New Jersey?
