if we were not the worlds largest producers
of Four and Six cylinder automobiles
if the Overland factory were not the largest
automobile plant in the world
If our facilities, equipment and resources were
less
we could not sell the Overland Six at $1145.
But it is because of our size, resources, methods
and means that we can.
The Overland Six is acknowledged to be the
most remarkable automobile value OF the year.
Before you buy look it over.

The boys who entered this corn con-
test have been able to raise more corn
than most farmers raise because they
were careful In the selection of their
seed. In most cases the land was no
better than other land and no fer
tilizer was used a..a
One farmer whose son was in the
contest said: "My boy knows more
about raising corn than I ever knew"
and we believe that he meant it. The
boys have been studying the literature
sent out to them from the experiment
station at Ames and applied what they
learned. - ttI
The two Crawford county banks that
have made it possible for the boys to
learn more about some of the useful
things Of life are entitled to much
credit. Another contest is being plan
ned for next year and it is hoped that
many more will enter.

An automobile accident occurred on
the corner of Chestnut and Main st.
shortly before the noon hour on Sun.
day which might easily have resulted
in the death of several people but for
tunately only one person was slightly
injured. The big auto bus belonging
to the Hilton Bus and Transfer Line
crashed into a seven passenger auto
mobile driven by Mr.. John B. Weiss
at the Tabor corner. E;oth machines
were badly damaged.
Mr.. Weiss, and seven children who
reside mile north Of Manning. mo-
tored to Denison Sunday morning to
spend the day with Mrs. Weiss. par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Lorenzen.
They drove into Denison over the
Lincoln highway turning the corner
at the college and going west on the
Chestnut street. Mr.. Hilton was hur-
ryfng to the Northwestern depot and
was going down Main street past the
Bale Broderson store when he saw
the touring car and fearing that the
car might not get across the itersec-
tion, he applied the brakes but his
speed was so great that the accident
could not be avoided. The bus struck
the touring car in the center, throw
ing it up against the curb stone and
breaking the electrolier on the cor
ner. Fortunately the Weiss car did
not turn turtle or the occupants
might have easily sustained serious
injuries. One of the little girls was
bruised about the head slightly but
nothing serious. ..,G..
Both cars were badly smashed up
and the damage will amount to sever
al hundred dollars. Mr.. Weiss pur-
chased his car only two weeks ago
from the Denison Auto Co. and had
driven it less than two hundred miles.
He stated that he saw the bus coming
but expected it to slow down as he
supposed the regulations Of miles
an hour such as are enforced at Man
ming held good here. Mr.. Hilton, we
are told did everything possible to
stop his heavy machine and the fact
that the tires slid for about a hundred
feet bears out this statement
An accident of this kind only goes
to show that drivers Of machines
should exercise every possible pre-
caution while driving in the city. 1t

WONDERFUL PLANT
Denison People Visit Overland Auto.

Wonderful Plant. .-

The twenty-seven people from Craw.
ford county who made the trip to To.
ledo, o., as guests of the Overland
Automobile company, returned home
last Thursday, and from all reports
it was a wonderful trip. Two hundred
Overland dealers in southwestern
Iowa and their guests made the trip
in special train. 1t is notable fact
that western Iowa furnished the larg-
est train load of visitors Of more than
half a dozen train loads from all parts
of the country, but it was the only
train at the Toledo factory that car.
ried a band.
One train made the trip to Toledo
from Omaha and adjacent territory,
another from Sioux City and Fort
Dodge. another from Floriday another
from Alabama, and there were other
trains from different sections of the
country.
The first day at Toledo was devoted
the Overland and taking In the i'm
mense factory. The second day was
spent in listening to various talks and
lectures on the Overland cars and in
seeing moving pictures of educational
value to the dealers and statesmen.
The Denison folks who made the
trip say that the Overland plant is
simply wond derful and it is almost i'm
possible to conceive the immensity
Of it without a personal visit. Many
OF the guests made a flying trip to De
troit to visit the Ford factory.

The city council held session at
the city hall last evening, at which
time several important matters came
up for consideration The new storm
sewer laid in the south part of the city
was accepted from the contractors as
the work was satisfactory and coming
up to the plans and specifications as
prepared by the city engineer.
M. P. Renfro, who erected the new
pump house, appeared before the
council and asked for final settle
ment. 1t is said that the pump house
required a few changes before it
would be acceptable to the city faith

At the. meeting last evening levy
of 3 mills was made to cover the ex-
penses of the paving put in this year.
The city has to pay $1.666.67 for pave
ment put in in front Of property where
the paving amounted to more than the
assessed valuation. In addition to this
the city will have to pay for the pave
ment in front of the federal building,
which amounts to in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 EEt
The council instructed the mayor to
see that the laws governing the op-
erations Of autom obiles in cities and.
towns be enforced here before some
one is killed There has been any
of complaints made because
drivers of machines are using the new
pavement for speedway, disregarding
the safety and rights of pedestrians
and drivers of other vehicles. 1t is
believed that il few of the more
drivers were arrested and
lined that it would serve as lesson.

c. L. Voss, the city Treasurer, re-
ports that $43,968.03 was paid In
to the city Golfers last week to apply
on the first lot Of payment put in by
the. NJ. L. Finn Construction Co., OF
Sioux City. Mr.. Finn, together with
w. Z. True, were down from Sioux
City the first of the week checking
over the assessments and waivers and
reported that Mr.. Voss had completed
the work without an irregularity of
any kind, and the funds checked up
to cent. This is remarkable mas
much as the work was new to the
local officials. s f
The total amount Of the first con-
tract amounted to about $89,OO0.0O,
and Mr.. Finn states that 1t is re-
markable that over half has already
been paid in. In most places where
he has had contracts for public Inn
prOvements of this nature less than
half has been paid at the time speci-
fed. It is true that many property
owners in Denison took advantage of
the privilege Of signing waiver and
paying their pavement on the install-
ment plan.
Saturday Dec. 5th was the last day
for signing waivers and Mr.. Voss re-
ports that in the neighborhood Of
S15,O00.00 is outstanding. This means
that the money will have to be paid
in next spring in full when taxes are
collected. No doubt those who failed
to pay for the improvement or did
not sign waivers figured that they
would be money ahead by delaying
until spring. II they have their mon.
ey drawing interest at 8 per cent, the
paving assessments will draw but 6
per cent and they are saving per
cent. b, ZIG
Already there is talk Of more paw.

property owners altho the city faith
ers do not have much to say in regard
to the matter The city funds ct
course are greatly depleted on &C.

that streets will not require much
expenditure in getting in readiness
