WILL IMPROVE CHURCH.
Official Board Of Methodist Church
Decide on Extensive Improve
ments in Near Future.

The official board of the Methodist
church. at full meeting of that body
on Monday night. decided on some eX-
tensive improvements to be made on
the church in the near future They
decided to put in new heating plant
to be located outside of the building
at the northwest corner of the church
lot. The system to be used will be
modern in all respects and will solve
the heat problem as far as science
will enable this to be done. Another
Improvement will be the rearrange,
ment of the basement in which a num-
Der of the rooms now in use will be
preserved. but the central portion OF
the basement will be enlarged so that
a commodious room will be provided
with kitchen accommodation and all
made suitable for banquets and oc.
casions of like character. A new en-
trance will be provided for the south
end Of the basement SO that passage.
way will be open from the sidewalk
into the basement. This will aid in
lighting the basement as we'll as pro
viding a new entrance into it.
1t probably will require some two
prCvement, but when it is once com
Ipleted it will add very much to the
comfort and use Of the church. The
members Of the church are universally
enthusiastic for the improvement.

stand their business thoroughly. The
city inspectors are on the job every
minute of the day to see that the
proper mixture of cement is used anC
that the curb stones are laid true ant
at the proper depth. The city fathers
feel the responsibility upon their shou
ders in laying Denisons first install
ment of paving and they are almost
continually on the job seeing that the
work is being done according to the
specifications.
1t has been necessary to relocate d
number of the telephone and electric
light poles and electricians and tele
phone men have been busy for the
past ten days rearranging their lines
to conform with the paving. Some OF
the poles which were set in the
streets have had to be moved we'll with
in the parkings and, in some instances,
the electric cable used to furnish cur
rent for the electorlier system was
dug up and relocated so that it would
not be damaged when the grading is
under way.
The present plan is to lay all OF the
paving in the outlying districts before
commencing with that in the business
section. OF course everyone expects
to suffer some hardships on account Of
the tearing up of the streets, but Mr..
Finn is planning his work to cause
the least possible Inconvenience.

prosecuted by Judge WEIGH, OF Deni

City, and Geo. Clark, of Ida Grove
while the defense of the case was in
the hands OF Andy Bell, county attor
ney, assisted by Leon Powers. The
county was fortunate to escape liabil

that the party had sustained injuries
of rather grave character and if a
verdict had been returned TO the
plaintiff no doubt it would have been
for considerable amount.

He "eruna Home the Bacon"

Col Sidney Suggs for the first time
in several seasons has been showing
his fellow-members at the Chickasaw
Lake club how to manipulate a shot
gun so that most desired results
might be obtained. In that connec-
tiOn let it be said that he brought
home the bacon, and was able to
gather with his guests about the fire
place and tell about the one he "just
missed" by not taking enough lead"
with his faithful ten-gauge.
Friday night at the Chickasaw club
he had several friends out to partake
Of duck feast and every guest found
teal, spoonbill or a mallard at
their disposal most excellently cook
ed and served
Col. Suggs likes water fowl, but
also revels upon a feast that some
times comes from beneath the sur
face of the waves, therefore when a
large and inquisitive turtle had the
courage to rise to the surface in
range of his faithful blunderbus,
there was a sudden death in the Tur-
tie family and incidentally some fine
turtle meat for his guests.
1t has leaked out however, that a
flock of ducks that were decoyed
within range Of his gun escaped un-
scathed as a result of what is tech
nically known as Chinese markham
ship, when the entire contents OF
both barrels of his gun smote the at
mosphere Just above the crested
plumes of the elnsive water fowls.
He was fortunate albeit in having
enough "meat" already in the bag
for his invited guests who enjoyed
the occasion hugely.

Then the politicians, with their ears
close to the ground came out strong
ly for 1t.
"Most of the stuff in the newspa-
pers is not the honest talk of Amer
leans, but buncombe of office seekers
arousing sectional feelings, which
some OF us had hoped were forever
eradicated-an attempt to revive civil
war hatreds-to set section against
section-and by the advocacy OF sec
tional feeling destroy what some Of
US had hoped was national unity.
"Some of our political friends are
lending their support to every foreign
government that is in controversy
with the United States. They are
willing to discredit America for the
purpose of discrediting the president.
"In my opinion the fight against
President Wilson has no larger aspect
than greatly unpatriotic clamor of
the outs for the possession of the
things now in the hands of the ins.
"The specialize of one hundred mil
lion people properly governing them
selves under Democracy is a prob
lem. To my mind it is a question
whether we will be able to solve it,
and that is all the more reason we
should be sane and decent and try TO
make the effort from the viewpoint
OF all concerned.
