DANGER SIGNAL


If the fire bell should ring would
you run and stop it or go and help to
put out the fire? 1t is much the same
way with cough. A cough is dan
ger signal as much as fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when it is ringing,
but should cure the disease that caus-
es the coughing. This can nearly al
ways be done by taking Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Many have used it
with the most beneficial results. 1t
is especially valuable for the persist
ent cough that so often follows a bad
cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.

Information that can be used to ad.
vantage by every farmer. Although
darying will be the main theme, yet

ia, seed corn testing, etc. will be dis
cussed. The men who are to deliver
lectures in DenisOn are especially anX'
ious to have anyone in the audience
ask questions and give their opinions

ed. After the lectures the local COW
show will be held in the basement of
the gymnasium. Arrangements have
been completed for exhibiting repre-
sentatives of the leading dairy breeds.

completely covered with charts, draw
ings and pictures which will be self

clared nominated.
It was moved by Clement J. Welcl
that the vote on two cOuncilmen a
large be an informal one and that til,
four receiving the highest number o
votes be the only candidates eligible
for formal ballot. This motion wa!
amended so that the first ballot shoul(

Tamm received 237; Hayes 219; Fitcl

The first ward caucus was held ir
the gallery of the gymnasium, the can
didates for councilmen being Thomas
Nielsen and James Mitchell. Mr.
Nielsen was nominated on the first
formal ballot, having a clear majority
over the other candidate.
The second ward caucus was held al
the city hall and H. ]. Moeller was
nominated for councilman of that war.l
without opposition.
The third ward caucus was held in
the main room of the gymnasium and
proved a spirited affair, the vote upon
the informal ballot being 81 for Hal
c. Simpson and IS for Ben Pautsch
with few scattering votes, whereup.
on Simpson withdrew and Pautscll
was declared the nominee. DR.. Simp.
son was the only member of the old
organization that failed to receive the
endorsement of his constituents.
1t is said that the same parties who
were back OF the caucus idea and par
ticipated in it are now seeking to pre-
sent a list of candidates by petition
for the election on March 9th. The
people will hardly stand for such
conduct and will demand that the
ticket nominated by the people at the
citizens caucus shall be supported by
the voters at the election. in view OF
the fact that the proposition for i'm
provement in the way of paving and
completing the deep well, as well as
carrying out the project of making a
success of the electric light plant are
pending, it seems that these questions
should be left with those who
are familiar with these improve
ments rather than to turn them over
to new and inexperienced men. 1t is
more important for the city Of Deni.
son to develop these improvements
and make success Of them than it is
to follow the fortunes of one man OF
set of men whose ambition dictates
their conduct We predict that when
the election is held the candidates
nominated at the citizens caucus will
win without any question, -inasmuch

the caucus was had and a fair express

ROAD MEETING
Township Officers and Interested Tax
payers Attend Good Roads Meet
Thursday Last.
ADDRESS eY MIR. 8. W. NORRIS
Makes Strong Plea for Permanent
Roads and Favored Proposition
Of Bonding the County.

The good roads meeting held in Den
ison Thursday at the Germania opera
house was attended by nearly two
hundred township officers, together
with other citizens of the county who
are interested in the good roads move
ment which seems to be sweeping
across Iowa. 1t was great meeting
and it is to be regretted that every
taxpayer in the county could not be
present Late in the afternoon the
board of supervisors requested those
present to vote on two propositions
the first, whether or not they were in
favor of bonding the county for the
construction of permanent bridges AMI
culverts on the present county road
system and. second, whether or not
they favored bonding the county for
grading the present county road sys'
tenn. Both of the propositions reeeiv'
ed large vote, especially the first
there being over three to one in favor
of the proposal The vote was taken
in order that the board of supervis.
Ors might ascertain the sentiment OF
the taxpayers in regard to permanent
bridges and road work in the county.
The members of the board are well
pleased with the results of the meet
ing and can now go ahead and make
the desired improvements, feeling that
the taXpayers are back of them.
The forenoon meeting convened at
10 o'clock, Mr.. Holland giving an out
line OF the program to be carried out
and briefly spoke, on the bonding prop.
csition. He stated that at the present
rate it would take Crawford county
at least ten years to complete the one
hundred and fifty miles of the county
road system. and that the board of su,
pervisors believed that the work should
be done at once SO that everyone might
enjoy the improvement. County Engi.
nccr II. b. Fishel addressed the meet.
ing and took up some of the import.
ant matters pertaining to township
roads and answered number of ques-
tions propounded to him by township
trustees and road superintendents. Mr..
(, Fishel has made study of good roads
and the laws of the state pertaining
to county roads and township roads
and was able to answer in clear and
definite manneFs every question put to
him. He first spoke Of filling the ap.
proaches to new culverts and bridges
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1916-03-15

and explained that the township II
which the bridge or culvert is located
is required by law to pay $3.50 of the
cost of making such fills, the county
the remainder. Where the township
commences to do this work they are
required to finish it. but if they refuse
to make the fill the board of super
visors must have it done, charging ul
$3.50 against the township, the re
mainder being paid out OF the county
road fund. This matter was S-discusse(
at some length and all OF the township
officers present found the discussion
of much profit. The meeting adjourn
ed at IL o'clock to convene again al
o'clock.
Afternoon Meeting.
The afternoon meeting did not com
mence until about 1870 as it was ex
pected that Mr.. B. w. Norris. the
speaker Of the afternoon, would ar
rive in Denison on the noon train
County Engineer Fishel opened the
afternoon program with a talk on the
permanent road and bridge work tina

during the past three years, his tall
being illustrated with some stereop
ticon views thrown upon the screer
by Prof. w. c. VanNess.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Norris, he
was introduced by Mr.. Holland. The
speaker stated that it was always a
pleasure to talk on the road problem
for everyone knows that Iowa has a
read problem. When Mr.. Norris was
introduced as chairman OF Governor
Clarke's Better Roads commission. he
launched into description OF the won
derful hard roads that people enjoy in
every state east Of Iowa without any
higher road taxes than are paid in
Iowa
"The farther east you so the bet.
ter the roads are" said Mr.. Norris.
"and down in the New England states
they are enjoying roads that were built
several hundred years ago. Even
bridges of stone set in place without
cement or mortar are as good today
as they were when they were bull!
during the time of George Washing
ton"
He said that Minnesota and Mis-
souri, now have three times as many
miles of roads permanently improved
as Iowa has; Illinois four times, Wis.
consin five times. and Indiana and
Ohio ten times as many without as
much tax money as is paid in Iowa
each year. He said that the reason
Iowa spent more tax money than all
other states except two and got less
permanent road work than twenty-six
other states, was that the people Of
all other states were bonding for road
imprc vements.

SCHOOL ELECTION
HELD MONDAY
All Old Officers Reflected by the
Forty.Onc Voters Who Cast Their
Votes on That Day.
vorE $4,000 SCHOOL HOUSE FUND
Denson Fortunate in Being Able to
Have Such Men on School Board
Secretary Makes Report

The school election, held I'M Dent
| sen Monday, failed to create much en-
thusiasm on the part of the electors,
only Al people of the city availing
themselves of the privilege of voting
for director for the term of three
years and a treasurer for the term Of
three years The lack OF interest at
| the school election was due, no doubt,
to the fact that there was no Opposi.
ton to the present officers. Mr.. y.
Brodersen was reelected to the Office
of director for term OF three years,
and M. f. Jones to the office of treas.
urer for a term of two years. The
electors voted $4,000 school house
fund, which will be used to pay up the
outstanding bonds at maturity.
The electors meeting was held ut
the city hall at 2:30 o'clock with
fair attendante. The meeting was
called to order by Hon. Carl F. kuehn-
lie, the president of the school board.
who briefly told of the purpose of the
meeting W. G.. Rollins. secretary of
the board, read the financial report.
which was published in this paper last
week, and briefly explained the diff
ferent items. He called attention to
the fact that $1,000 had been expend-
ed on the Familton building, which is
now being used for kindergarten pIr-
poses Over $1,000 has been paid out
of the school house fund without any
additional bonding of the district. for
the heating plant. During the past
year the board has paid $159.92 to the
city for electric current used for
school purposes. General repairing OH
the buildings for the past year amount
ed to $7O9. Mr.. Rollins reported that
there we're now twenty-eight pupils
in the high school who are paying tut
ton and that there are six pupils in
the grades who are. paying tuition.
Denison is indeed fortunate, in hav.
ing such representative business men
on it's school board and the fact that
Denison ranks high among the schools
in the state is due In part to their eff
forts.
