ANOTHER CONVENTION PLANNED
Possible for Denisou to Secure Iowa
Electric Contractors Convention
Movement Now Under Way

Denison may soon be known as the
convention city. Already the State
Association OF Bottlers have decided
to hold their next annual convention
in this city and now movement is on
foot to bring the State Association of
Electric Contractors here for their
October meeting.
A. G. Rohwer, who is a member of
this association, has written letter
to Mr.. w. Fowler. of Cedar Rapids,
president of the association, asking if
it is possible to secure the convention
for Denison at the October meeting.
Mr. Rohwer received reply last week
stating that he could not see why Den
ison should not receive the convention
and the matter would be taken up at
the meeting to be held in Des Moines
jim May. = r. a.: Il. e.
The Commercial club should take
the proper steps towards securing this
meeting Of the electric contractors
for it will mean a great thing for Den
ison. Mr.. Rohwer tells the Review
that upwards of $50 members attend
these conventions. The club rooms
would be large enough to accommo-
date the members for their meeting
and some form of special entertain
ment on the part of the business men
should be arranged.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The high school basket ball team
won a glorious victory last Friday eve
ming when it defeated the team from
Ida Grove by score of 80 to 4. The
game went by spurts and during these
the Denison boys did wonderful team
work-accurate passing and good bas-
ket shooting.
In the first half the visiting team
did not succeed in making any points
at all, while the local team had scored
Is. In the second half the DenisOn
team added rs more points and Ida
Grove made 4. Thus the final score
was 80 to in favor of Denison.
Gordon Locke made the greatest
number of field goals and Erwin Teut
came second. The guards and for
wards all did excellent work.
The lineup for this game was as fol-
lows: Teut, center; Finn and McCord,
guards, and Gary and Locke, forwards.
Substitutes: O'Connor for Gary. Field
goals: Locke 9, Teut 6, Gary I, McCord
2. Free throws: Teut 8.
Saturday evening the basket ball
team went to Missouri Valley and were
defeated IS to 49,
This game resembled the one at Ida
Grove the week before. 1t was very
fast and close, and exciting through
out.
The Denison boys missed many good
chances for making baskets and the
score at the end of the first half was
II to in favor of Missouri Valley.
However, in the second half the Deni-
nm i1l. Iii re
to Missouri Valley Z.
There will be two basket ball games
in Denison this week. The fast team
from Jefferson is to be here Friday eve
ming. This promises to be absolutely
the best game played in Denison. JET
ferson has very fast team and the
local is fast one also. Saturday eve
the team from Vail will play here
again. '2@
The high school is very anxious to
raise enough money from these two
games to send the local basket ball
team to the basket ball tournament at
Council Bluffs.
The high school triangular debate
will take place in about two weeks, on
Friday, March 10th. The question ir
discussion is: Resolved, that the sever.
al states should adopt system OF COM
pulsory industrial insurance to be adj
ministered through the state.
The debate in Denison will be be-
tween the Denison affirmative and the
Missouri Valley negative teams. The
Denison negative team will 60 to
Woodbine to debate against the affirm
alive team there. These debates will
decide whether Denison or Missouri
Valley gets permanent possession of
the silver cup.
The high school glee clubs will give
a presentation Of the musical play,
"Pinafore," at the opera house in the
near future.

County Sunday School Convention


Last week we announced that the
Crawford county Sunday school con-
vention would be held at Denison on
March 14th. Later advices from the
state headquarters state that our con-
vention dates are Wednesday and
Thursday, April 4th and 5th. This
will be much better, allowing the
schools of the county to make good
preparation. Crawford will be hon.
ored by the presence of the state sec
rotary. w. D. Stem, a man who has
few superiors in the country along
his line. Mr.. Hutton will also be
here. The coming convention will be
the best ever held in the county when
two such nation wide experts are pres
ent to tell about Sunday school af-
fairs.
