Be Presented to the People for

bration, whether it be the soap bubble
party of the three year old child or
the more impressive golden wedding.
This week all Denison is celebrating
the tenth anniversary of the appear
ance of the Redpath-Vawter Chautau-
qua system and old and young are en-
joying the festivities in beautiful
Washington park, where the chautau-
qua tent is pitched. To Mr.. Keith
Vawter, manager of the Redpath-Vaw-
ter Chautauqua system, belongs the
honor 81 having invented the movable
or circuit chautauqua. TO him the
people of the middle west have to cX-
tend thanks for the array Of talent
which is made available through such
a system. From observations made
while in lecture. course work he hit
upon the plan of contracting for talent
for long seasons, booking them com
pactly in restricted territory to avoid
long railroad trips, owning the tents
and operating equipment and careful
ly guarding against useless waste.
The best talent in the country has
been secured by Mr.. Vawter for chau-
tauqua work. some of the talent cost
ing him as much as $500 day. En-
tertainment is planned to suit all
ages and tastes, games and stories for
the Nlittle folks in the morning, the
best of music, vocal and instrumental,
aud celebrated speakers. =
Within the past ten years the Red

for Denison. The people of Denison
and Vicinity by means of this great
institution have had an opportunity
of gathering together amid surround
ings the most delightful and pleasant,
to enjoy talent which in no other way
could be obtained. Denison has the
of being one of the charter
members of the Redpatll- -vawter Chau-

for a chautauqua the first year that
the plan was carried out and each year
it has grown in favor with the people

the Tune Of q to I, With "Smoky"
Rhodes On the Mound.
NEW GRANDsTANp is ERECTED
Fans Privileged to Witness Classy
Game, notwithstanding Heat of
Day-WahI's Nose Broken

The Denison ball team defeated
Woodbine Sunday afternoon at the To-
cal diamond in one of the most excit
ing games of the season by a score of
to I. The game was full of thrills
from start to finish and so excited
were the fans that they had little time
to even think of the high temperature
A new grand stand has been erected
at the ball park. which accommodated
scores of fans, who were able to wit
ness the game in comfort. Howard
Wahl, who did the catching for Deni-
son, was injured in the seventh inning
when one of the Woodbine players
smashed into him at the platter, break
ing his nose and cracking his shoulder
blade. Wahl did not let little thing
like that interfere with his playing
and managed to finish the game.
Smoky Rhodes, the invincible of
Omaha, did the twirling for Denison,
and to say that his work was classy
is putting it mildly. Rhodes had
plenty of steam and Woodbne was not
able to decipher many of his curves
The battery had the support of the
Denison bunch and the whole team
played with the precision of well
oiled machine.
Denison scored it's first run in the
second inning when Rhodes pasted the
ball out into the alfalfa field for home
run. The fans went wild over this
exhibition of nifty hitting. The see
ond time Smoky was at bat he landed
on the sphere for a two bagger over
center field and was scored by Held
en-. Denison's other two scores were
made in the seventh by a neat drive
by Wahl. Woodbine's one lone score
was made in the seventh.
1t was great game from every
and in fact was equal to a
league game. /
Denison's lineup was as follows
pitcher; Wahl. catcher; Held
en-, 1st base; Collins, I'd base; Jacob |
son. Sd base; Richards, short; Rich !
ardson, left field; Locke, center field,
and Miller, right field.

1t is generally conceded by dele.
gates to the convention that dry

and that the road issue will be very
delicately handled. Harding will as.
sumo that the liquor question is set

There is an interesting contest for
two places on the state central COM

terest to western Iowa affairs. Ralph

ant from that district.
In the Sixth district there is three
cornered fight among those who would
follow James Dewitt, of Oskaloosa. The
aspirants are c. w. Clark. of Monte

w. Hunter, of Newton.
In the Fifth district the fight hovers
about William Dennis, of Cedar Rap
ids; Louis Gardner. of Anamosa, and

Lars Bladine, of Cedar Falls, seems
to have a cinch in the Third district.
B. I. Salinger, Jr., of Sioux City, is
still regarded as certain of the Elev-
enth district committeeship, although
opposition has developed
in several of the other districts.
At a late hour tonight the Havner

idence in the outcome of the first bal
