that the community may Judge wheth'
er his time was wisely expended or
not-and whether he has seen any
thing of interest to the public.
When the editor OF The News en-
pended three hours of railroad time
getting to Denison last Thursday az
ternoon he regretted the fact he did
MT start out "afoot" and try to hike
it instead OF riding in the luxurious
coaches OF the North Western be-
tween these points.
Perhaps the average traveller Oh
this same journey knows whereof we
speak.
Arrived in Denison things moved
more rapidly. The afternoon busi'
ness session of editors was drawing
to a close and "See Denison by
Auto" trip followed.
The journey began in front OF the
beautiful Crawford County court
house, passed fine homes and business
institutions, the normal school or col.
lege, and finally reached the cold
storage plant where thousands OF
chickens were leaving their cackle at
the front door and by successive rap
id movements reached cooling rooms
at the rear in almost incredibly large
numbers.
OF course the editors had to see the
ice.making machine make lce-then
20 into the cooling room where the
was below zero and one
of the boys discovered instantly that
his B. v. DIS ended at an uncOm-
Portable altitude above his ankles.
Then the well known soft drink
factory of the Mitchell company was
inspected from cellar to garret and
incidentally there was some d1ssap'
nointment among the boys because
nobody invited them to take whatev'
er YOU want home to the Missus'-
or to even have one with me. But
they saw soft drinks bottled. anu
corked and capped and labelled by
machines-saw the big stock OF all
kinds of things which go with the
soft drink business-and most OF them
swelled out, their "chists" and i'm.
portantly remarked that lots of the
Denison brand is being sold In our
town. That paid the bill so far as
we are concerned.
At seven that evening the Com,
morcial club conserved the nations

the telling of the glorious exploits
of the Denison Commercial Club
building that $4,000 hotel, securing
the 100000 court house and building
it's membership to $50. Speaking as
q grandfather for the first time. Mr..
Naeve was not only enthusiastic but
more gracious and effective than u.s..
ual--so his local friends and admirers
said. Anyway the tale he told OF the
achievements OF the DenisOn Com
mercial club made hit with every
body present.
At the banquet the Deinson Bottling
brand of champagne was serv-
ed. Though we noticed number or
Denison men did not indulge we did
and found it mighty good. Probably
they know too much about the Deni-
son brand to take chance on that
kind of cllampagne-but editors are
not so easily abashed. Iowa is bone
lry, you knOw-and the DenisOn CON-
mercial club would not have befooz-
eled and be.toxicated us for the world.
We editors knew that.
The News would be guilty OF be-
traying gross violation OF the laws
Of neutrality if it did not state that
Editor Graham of GlenwOod was the
hit OF the evening with his splendi-
ferrous oratory and elOquence-based

ty and the racing Botny and the

nature.
