KNIGHTS OF. COLUMBUS MEET
Fifty Members Of Cosgrove Council
at Dunlap Auto to Denison Last
.a.t Thursday and Hold Meeting

There was something doing in
Knights of Columbus circles in Deni-
son last Thursday evening when some
fifty members of the Cosgrove Coun-
Gil at Dunlap, autoed to Denison and
held regular fraternal meeting. The
membership of the Dunlap council
comprises good many from Denison,
as does the council at Carroll, the
Denison membership in the two coun-
ellis being something over fifty. 1t
is not always possible for the Denison
members to go to either Dunlap or
Carroll, and for that reason the Dun
lap knights journeyed to Denison
Thursday and held a meeting. The
evening was very enjoyable one;
aside from the regular fraternal meet
ing, there was provided a most sump-
tious spread. with Mrs. Staley presid-
ing. After all had partaken. speeches
were made by different members, and
it was a late hour when the Dunlap
knights finally wended their way
home. In this sconnection it might be
mentioned that the knights of Co.
lumbus throughout Iowa have been
very liberal in the purchase of Liber.
ty Bonds. the Dunlap council purehas-
ing $1,000 worth, and the Carroll
council taking $4,000 worth. The Car.
roll council has membership of over
800 knights. the second largest men,
bership in the state. The state cOun-
Gil purchased $4,000 worth Of the
bonds.

Denison Band in Concert,

The Denison band is now unGer the
leadership of Mr.. Joe BarbOrka, and
is making rapid progress under his
tutorage. This Wednesday evening a
concert is planned to take place on the
streets. The band is made up of
twenty-five members. all OF whom have
had more or less experience in music,
and the concert will no doubt be much
enjoyed. These concerts are to take
place every week during the summer
months, and our people should turn
out and encourage the boys. A good
band Is big advertisement for a
city, and there are few cities in the
state that do not possess a good mu-
sical organization. None of the boys
expect remuneration for their work,
and some of them even leave their
business in order to assist in the make
up of the band. Let everyone turn
out this Wednesday night.

Mrs. Tonv Miller Badly Hurt

. Mrs. Tony Miller met with very
serious accident last Sunday and is
now carrying her broken left arm in
plaster cast. She had gone with
her husband to the slaughter house
to do the feeding of the stock and they
had made the trip in the Ford auto
truck. 1t seems that some OF the
hogs were out of the yard and after
Mr.. Miller had caught one, he told
Mrs. Miller to drive the auto and
drive in Mr.. Pig. Mrs. Miller was
used to driving their other car and
when she undertook to handle the
Ford she became sort of mixed up
and instead of shutting off the gas
she turned on more, with the result
that the Ford became unmanageable
and finally upset and Mrs. Millers
left arm was broken just above the
wrist-Ute Independent.

OUT THE cuT-ouTs
Law Regarding Cut-outs On Autos
Ought to be Enforced in Deni- e
son-Who's to Blame?

1t occurs to the writer that some
where upon the Iowa statute there is
a law which prohibits the use of "cut-
outs" on an auto. If such be the case
those who are in authority should see
that the law is respected. There are
a number of drivers in Denison, who
seem to take delight in making the
most unearthly noise when driving OF
an evening, or at a later hour, much
to the discomforture of those who en-
joy the quiet of the home. There are
homes in DenisOn where some of the
inmates are i'll, and to have a driver
race by with a cut-out wide open,
making noise equal to a European
field gun, is most damaging to the
patients nerves.. 1t ought to be stop
ped. During the past two or three
weeks there have been few arrests
made of speeders, but the mania does
not seem to lessen. A fine of $40 or
SIS should be imposed for the first
offense, and this racing on the public
streets OF our city would stop.

Crops Doing Very Well

For the benefit of our readers who
reside outside of Crawford county and
in other states, who are interested in
crop conditions back in Iowa. we
wish to say that old Crawford is still
maintaining her reputation for never
failing crops. For the most part crops
are looking fine, corn is we'll up, with
a splendid color and the small grain
never looked better than at this time.
Perhaps some Of it will be little
heavy, and in low places there is con.
siderable wash, but taken as whole
the crop conditions in this county are
good. Farmers are now able to plow
their corn, and in every field the cul
tivator can be seen from sun-up til
dark. With few warm days, one may
just hear the corn crack, it is grow
ing so fast

WORK ON LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Workmen Busy Bringing the Charter
Oak Road to Grade Near the Leh-

Crawford county is certainly doing
some splendid road work these days,
Notwithstanding the wet weather of
the past few weeks. The county engi-
neer's office has. been swamped with
the work of getting out the prOfiles,
and grades for the road work, and the
contractors are hurrying. the work of
building with all possible Speed On
the Lincoln Highway, east of Vail, the
cutoff near the severe turn, where the
highway crosses the North Western
Is fast nearing completion,
and only awaits the building of the
bridge This piece of work has been
much needed, and when completed will
be appreciated by all drivers of We
hicles. The great danger has been
overcome, as one may get a clear view
of the railway for some distance be-
fore the approach. Contractors are
at present working on cement bridge
near Denison, out at the old brick.yard
When this bridge is completed the road
will be put to grade, and another dang
erOus point will have been eliminated
West OF town, WOrkmen are busy bring
ing the Schleswig or Charter Oak road
to grade near the Lenfeldt place. This
road will connect with the main en-
trance into Denison from the north and
west, and the city ought to soc to it
that the road within the corporate
limits is repaired and built up to con-
form with the township road This
can be done at comparatively small
expense.

In another column of this issue is
to be found a notice, which is pub
lished according to law, in which no
tice the J. B. Romans Co., OncD
changes the firm name of j. B. Ro-
mans Co. to Sibbert-Reimers Co. The
change in name of this we'll known
firm is made for the reason that all
of the stock in the concern is owned
by B. J. Sibbert. Il. r. Reimers and
E. +. Sibbert. The Romans interest
has long ago been purchased by these
gentlemen and they deem it but JUS
tice to the public that the names of
the stockholders be known. The j.
3. Romans Co. has become known all
over Crawford county as concern
of strict integrity, square dealing be-
ing the motto, and the change in
name does not in any way change the
method of doing business, nor will
the purchasing public suffer in the
least. The same familiar faces will
be found at the place of business
ready to greet all old customers and
any new ones. The firm is now tenn.
porarily housed on Main street, but
workmen are busy getting the ground
ready for a new business block al

SCHOOL DISTRICT
TO ISSUE BONDS
Election Held Thursday Of Last Week
for Purpose of Ratifying Con.
tract and Issuing Bonds
15sWoMEN CAST VoTEsl FAVOR
Al Votes Cast Altogether With Only
19 Votes Against the PROPOSE
tion-Rond Sale Later

The election held Thursday of last
week for the purpose of ratifying the
contract between the Denison lnde
pendent School District and the Den
ison Normal and Business College AS
sociation for the selling and purchas
ing of the normal school grounds and
buildings, carried by a very good ma
jority and the contract as entered
into will be carried out.
There were All votes cast at the
election, of which number there were
25S votes cast by the men and 1853
cast by the women. All the women
voted in favor Of the proposition, and
only 19,<men voted against it. The
polls we're opened at 1 o'clock and
closed at 6. Messrs. Chris Denker, and
Brodersen were the judges, and w. C.
Rollins acted as clerk. At no time
during the day was there any unusual
activity displayed among the male
voters, but along toward evening the
women voters began to crowd the
voting booths, and at one time there
was jam almost equal to bargain
day sale. Many of the woman voters
cast their ballots for the first time at
this election, and there was rather
a novelty attached to the act that was
captivating.
Under the contract recently made
with the college association, the in
dependent school district leases the
college and grounds for period of
one year from the 18th day of June,
1917, with the privilege Of purchasing
the same at the termination of the
lease, providing the school is contin-
ued for school purposes, and at the
same time serving those students who
wish to take work outside the regular
high school. The election was for the
further purpose of gaining permission
from the taxpayers to issue bonds
in the sum of $4,000 in order to carry
out the contract mentioned above.
These bonds will be sold to some
bonding company at a date to be set
later and when sold $4,000 of the
moneI will be used to place the sol
fege building In repair, such as paint
ing, laying Of new floors, plastering.
erecting fire escapes, etc. The remain
der of the 100000 will be applied up
on the purchase price of the property.
,NThe result of Thursdays election is
most gratifying to the school board;
the i district gains a very valuable
at price that is considered
less than half the actual value. 1t
would have been but short time
until the board would have been COM
PEELED to ask for additional facilities
in order to accommodate the grow
ing demands of the high school, and
these facilities could not have been
purchased for anything like the price
to be paid for the college.
Already the advisability of tho pur-
chase is being manifest; the summer
term of the college is starting out
under most flattering auspices, and
the attendance promises to equal, il
not surpass. all former terms. Craw-
ford county students will still have
the advantage of the past, and with
additional teachers, such as is plan
ned, the work will be of even more
value than ever before. !

MISS JENNIE QUAD is INJURED
While Riding With Father, Charles
Quad, on Railway Speeder, Miss
Quad is Badly Hurt
BUCK GROVE, June 10 Especial

BUCK GROVE, June 10 Especially
Mr.. Chas. Quad went to Arion on
the track speeder to meet his daugh-
ter, Jennie, Sunday morning. They
thought they had clear road home,
but just as they were nearing the de-
pot, freight train came around the
bend. MIR. Quaid told his daughter
to jump, also Bernard McNeHtney,
who was with them, which they did
Then Mr.. Quaid grabbed the little
dog and he, too, jumped as the loco
motive was only few feet from them
1t struck the speeder which it nearly
but it kept to the track
for nearly a mile. 1t was lucky es-
cape for all, but Miss Quade broke
her right arm near the wrist and hurt
her knee in some way, so she cannot
at present, walk. A doctor was called
who set the arm and the young lady
is resting as we'll as can be expected.
1t was bad accident but it might
have been so much worse that all
feel thankful they escaped as we'll
as they did. When the freight engine
struck the speeder Sunday morning,
it doubled the COW catcher right un-
der the engine and they had to put
back to Mannilla for repairs. The
train was going about 10 miles per
hour and the speeder about 35 miles.

WILSON'S FLAG
DAY SPEECH
Most Able and Patriotic Address De-
livered by President Wilson on =
Flag Day, June ID
LARGE GATHERING OF PATRIOTS
Germany Now Negotiating a New
"lntrigue of Peace" to End War
= While Agsressions are Secure

On page two OF the first section of
this paper. we publish most able
and patriotic. address delivered by
President Wilsonson Flag day, June II.
The address wasSdelivered to large
gathering of patriots on the Washing
ton Monument arsilnds in Washington
d. G. IN the address the president
warned the American people that Ger
many has carried into effect the great
er part OF her immediate plan Of con.
quest and now is negotiating a new
intrigue of peace" designed to end
the war while her aggressions are Sc
cure
All the central empires, the presi-
dent declared, have been cemented in,
to one great autocracy-ridden empire,
throwing a broad belt Of German mil.
itary power and political control across
the very center of Europe and beyond
the Mediterranean into the heart of
Asia. This achieved" he said, lit is
easy to understand why Germany is
fostering a propaganda for an early
peace.
Peace, peace, peace, has been the
talk of her foreign office for now a
year and morc,' said the president
"a little of the talk has been public,
but most of it has been private.
Through all sorts of channels it has
come to me and in all sorts Of guises.
The military masters under whom Ger
many is bleeding see very clearly to
what point fate has brought them. If
they can secure peace now with the
immense advantages still in their
hands which they have UP to this point
apparently gained. they will have just
flied themselves before the German
people; they will have gained by force
what they promised to gain by it."
The president recited again the Ger
man agressions which drove the Uni
ted States to war; He declared the
purposes for which American soldiers
now carry the stars and stripes to
Europe for the first time in history
are not new to American traditions be-
cause realization OF Germany's war
aims must eventually mean the undo
ing of the whole world.

letter from home. II I" | regret very
much to note the passing of the Deni-

Mr.. Whaley is superintendent of
the Vallejo city schools and is pros

Vallejo are made up as follows. Val.
lejo high school, Lincoln school, JEFF.
ferson school, Farragut school, Dewey
school, Roosevelt school, Grant school,
Evening high school and Vallejo
kindergarten: 1t will be observed that
the superintendent has some work to
do in looking after the welfare Of
these schools, and Guy Whaley is just
the man for the place. In every un-
dcrtaking he has always put his
shoulder to the wheel and pushed. As
student of Denison Normal college,
he always took prominent part, and
at the time of leaving was editor of
the college monthly, "The Star"
Even as a travelling photographer
working under cancas, Guy Whaley
nicked IN dollars where others picked
