continually threatening to score. In
this quarter Lally gathered in tumble
and charged down the field rs yards
for a touchdown. O'Connor kicked
goal. Denison IA, Jefferson 0.
The last period Jefferson was thrown
on the defensive and allowed but one
touchdown. A long pass to Lehfeldt

score was 81 to o.
The Denison people who witnessed
the game are loud in their praises Of
the behavior of the Jefferson rooters.
The champions will meet the strong
Carroll team on the local gridiron on
Saturday afternoon of this week. Car
roll has the best team in years and ex-
pect to drive Denison hard. They have
defeated Jefferson IA to 0, as we'll as
Odebolt and other strong teams in this
section of the state. Carroll hopes to
drag Denison down to defeat and wrest
the championship from them and also
avenge the defeat of former years. 1t
promises to be lively game.

MUSICAL EVENT
First Number of Lecture Course Civ
en- Last Evening Proves Very Sat .
isfactory to Large Audience

The musical number on the lecture
course for this season, given on last
evening in which Paul Reimers was
the attraction, was certainly an event
in the history of Denison. We doubt
| il ever before any musical entertain
ment of higher order was given in
Denison. The chief complaint so far
as we have heard has been that the
program was too short and we are
satisfied that if it had been thirty
minutes longer it would but have in
creased the satisfaction.
1t is a great undertaking for one per-
son to furnish full musical entertain
ment but Mr.. Reimars certainly did it
to perfection. There is no ostentation
or display about his performance and
he did not seek to entertain by ranting
or by any other physical demonstra-
ton. His manner was subdued and re-
fined and he kept his voice under per-
feet control at all times. We are
pleased to know that DenisOn audi
ence can appreciate high grade music
and we hope to see program such as
that had last night repeated.
Much credit for the success of the
entertainment is given Mr.. Blair
Neale, who presided at the piano.
If every number of the lecture course
for this season measures up as we'll
as that of last night, we are sure it
will prove great success. The at
tendance was all that could be asked
for and was limited only by the capac-
ity of the opera house. Denison is to
be congratulated for it's enterprise
along these lines.

CARROLL THE NEXT VICTIM
Carroll Coming Down With Avowed
Intention Of Getting Denison's
Scalp Saturday Afternoon.

Jefferson high school suffered de.
csive defeat at the hands of the south
western Iowa football champions at
Jefferson last Friday afternoon, and
our crack players brought home the
bacon by score of 81 to O. The JEFF
ferson Bee predicted last week that
Denison would come down so over con-
fident over their Council Bluffs vic
tory that they would have a chance to
repeat our Logan experience and their
prediction was partly true. The Deni-
son players did lack the punch that
has made them so successful in other
games, their interference was not up
to standard and they lacked the pep
to make good their continued threats
to score in the last half. Denison's
line, the pride Of their football team,
failed to work together and open holes
for their backteld men. On defensive
Denison showed up in great style.
Fight as Jefferson did, their plays were
of little avail against Denison's stone
wall line. Only once during the game
did Jefferson threaten to score with
the pigskin eight yards from Deni-
sons goal line, due to some misplays
on Denison's part. They failed to gain
an inch on four attempts at our line.
Denison kicked out of danger and from
then on Jefferson was on the defensive.
O'Connor did some sensational work
at running back punts. On three oc-
casions he returned them 80 to 40
yards. Helsley and Halloran showed
up we'll at their positions, while Leh-
feldt and Gary at ends made good
combination. Moffitt and Finn lived
up to their regulations as line plung
ers.
Jefferson received in the first quar-
ter, but was soon forced to kick. Deni-
son then drove down the field and
made the first touchdown. O'Connor
kicked nice goal. Score to 0. For
the remainder Of the first quarter and
the second quarter the ball seesawed
back and forth, neither side scoring.
Jefferson, for the only time in the
game, threatened to score in the sec
end period.
In the third period Denison kept the

ExTRAvAeANcE IN WAR TIME.

Some people deprecate the talk of
economy in war times, on the ground
that it will upset business. They
think if people stop buying Injuries,
great numbers Of the people will be
out of work.
Yet it seems a false foundation for
success in war, that We must keep
throwing away money on needless ex-
travagances. A policy of economy
would Of course work temporary hard
ship. But with the tremendous de-
mand for all kinds of labor, it is diff
cult to conceive that people willing
to work would be idle for any length
Of time. " -- .'..- -' -
The war has got to be financed out
Of the savings of the people. The more
we can buy Liberty bonds out of the
savings we are able to make as we go
along, the easier the war will come.
The extravagances in which SO many
people indulge seem most untimely at
this crisis. If people will stop foolish
use of money, the difficulties of financ-
ing this war will be greatly relieved.

TO CUT OUT NEEDLESS BUSINESS

Foreseeing early curtailment of non
essential business to release men and
materials for industries necessary in
the prosecution of the war. the coun-
Gil. of national defense officials have
taken up the problem of what indus
tries best can be dispensed with. It
was learned today that bureau is
about to be formed to frame plan
for eliminating non-essential business
with the least disturbance to the coun-
try's commerce and finance. Through
its control over transportation and the
supply and distribution of coal the
government can stop the operation of
any business and already has made a
start by checking the use of coal for
electric display advantage.

The Des Moines Capital says it is
none too early for patriotic men to be
considering the makeup of the next
general assembly; that the war will
still be going on when the general as

not afford to have legislature which
shall come together quarreling about
dirt roads or any other issues of min
or Importance. The Capital believes
that the general assembly should have
but one purpose, to aid in the war, and
it urges that all petty things be ig-
nored; that political schemers be rele-
gated to the rear and that young men,
full of warm blood and courage and
be sent to the legislative
front. 1T is more necessary" the
Capital concludes, Ito have the next

ENGINEER SAYS B|G LEDGE ORES
 VERY RICH

Dwight l.. Woodbridge, NJ. l., engineer for the Big Ledge Copper Company, has issued the following statement:
 Recent statements rcficcting on the methods oi operating the Big Ledge mines are so unjust and mis- leading as to demand brief reply. Thc Great Western Shelters Corpo- ration, which treats the ores of the Big Ledge Copper Company, is hand ling these ores at lower charge than would any other smelling company, and is in this way distinct asset to ,hc Big Ledge Company.
 As to the Buttcrnut and the Hem rictta mines of the Big Ledge Com pauy, statements have been issued that these properties may develop into mines at depth This kind ot bear argument may have applied to this situation IS months ago, but it does not apply now as both these properties arc now rich mines, having developed large tonnagcs of high grade coppcr-gold-silvcr ores: and they arc now opening up additional similar ores with remarkable speed.

Con. ArizondAbril
 Output Is Large

It is officially reported that the April production of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company was l. 65C000 pounds of copper, comparing with an average of l,5o0,000 pounds for the preceding three months, dur ing which period the company nettcd S26S7l3. The management estimates that the May production will approx innate or exceed the April one. indi- eating that the company'S 1917 pro duction should total about 20,000,O00, or almost double the 1916 production of ll,O00,0O0 pounds. If the same ratio of earnings is maintained in 1917 as in l9l6, Consolidated Arizona should earn almost Sl a share, as compared with approximately soc a share in 1916.
 Conditions at the property arc so satisfactory that new 500-ton roast CT, and new copper converter have been ordered, which would apparent ly indicate that production will still show substantial increase when compared with the former output certainly there will be an increase in the output of the company'S own orc.
