Crawford county probably suffered
less than any county IN the state OF
Iowa by having saloons in operation.
Without single exception, the saloon
keepers of this county have lived "
to the letter of the law. Here in Den

cases it has generally been the fact
that it was transients who imbibed
too freely. There is considerable spec

are the fine show herds which have

The sale OF the McHenry herd OF
cattle means much to Denison, Craw

Iowa, for this herd was known from
the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts
among breeders and cattle men. it
was this herd of Aberdeen Angus.
"doddies," that put Crawford county
on the map in the eyes of stock men
throughout the United States. Men
from all over the country came to
Denison to view this herd which has
no equal in the United States. For
thirty years Mr.. W. A. McHenry has
been building up his herd and he has
spared no expense in purchasing the
best breeding stock that could be
found, and in many instances paid over
a thousand dollars to purchase par
ticular type of animal which would
improve his herd. and for the past few
years it has been recognized as the
very best there was in the country.
! No doubt the sale of the herd at
this time was due to the fact that John
Brown, who has been managing the
herd for the past sixteen years, resign
ed his position and will go to Norway,
Iowa, where he will take charge OF c.
A. Tow's fine herd of Hereford cattle.
The resignation of Mr.. Brown came as
a great surprise to people in this To-
cality. Mr.. Brown has been associat-
ed with Mr.. McHenry for so many
years that no one suspected for min
ute that he would ever consent to
leave the black "doddies." During the
years he has had charge of the herd
he has managed to keep up the fine
record established by Mr.. McHenry
and year after year the show herd
was sent out to the various state fairs

vacant frame building formerly used
as garage was torn down and this
saved the lumber yard from destruc
