Attention of Denison people is called
to the new railway timetable which is
printed in this issue of the Review.
Several of the passenger trains on the
Northwestern road have changed time
and while the difference amounts to
only a few minutes, it might easily
cause people to miss their trains. The
new timetable was put into effect on
Sunday.
The football game scheduled for last
Saturday between Ida Grove and Deni-
son was postponed On account of the
weather. Fortunately both teams had
an open date on Saturday, November

week the Denison eleven will meet
Storm Lake on the local gridiron. This
promises to be one of the fastest
games of tho season. ...

Members of the fire department are
investigating the different makes of
fire trucks and we understand that
they have come to the conclusion that
a truck costing between So 500 and
$4,000 will take care of Denison's
needs. The fire boys have donated
$500 towards the purchase of the auto
truck and are in hopes that the city
council will take care of the balance
with a special levy.
A freak bet was made in Denison on
election day and on Monday afternoon
John Frey. the loser, fulfilled the
terms by rolling peanut with tooth
pick from the post office to the Ger
mania opera house. Scores of people
enjoyed watching the feat, which took
less than an hour to perform. Down
at Dow City we understand that a bet
was made, by the terms OF which the
loser was to roll peanut with a crow
bar around a block, while another los
er walked from Dow City to Arion
backwards. .

Turkey is blockaded by the allied
fleets. Mr.. Flech has visited Denison
in the past and has many acquaint-
ances here who will be glad to learn
that he is enjoying life in war-ridden

Mr.. Leroy Dohse, of West Side, was
n pleasant business caller in Deniso2
