toned at Camp Cody, Deming, N. NJ,
has sent his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Silletto, a copy Of the Thanks
giving menu. The menu is most at

reading the menu that it might be that

At last the big steel flag pole is in
place on the court house square. The
pole, which is something more than
100 feet in height, was presented by
the old soldiers of the county with the
understanding that the county would
erect it. 1t certainly was no small
task to get the pole weighing more
than a ton in place and required sew
eral days work before it was accom-
plished. Twice it was put in place.
but had to be lowered on account OF
the fact that it had been bent by the
pull of the ropes. 1t is being firmly
imbedded in concrete and should last
for years.
A. l.. Fields, son, Paul, and daugh-
ter, Ruth, were taken seriously sick
Sunday forenoon with what the at.
tending physician diagnosed as pto-
maine poisoning. They were taken to
the Denison hospital for treatment and
Sunday night it was feared that the
little boy would not pull through, but
today his condition is greatly i'm
proved. Mr.. Fields, who is operator
of the Bulletin type casting machine,
was able to return to work Tuesday,
although still in weakened condi-
ton. 1t is believed that the poison
ing was caused by some food eaten at
breakfast Sunday morning.
The rural carriers of Crawford coun-
ty met last Saturday evening to organ
lZC anu JUN Illc lO"d mural AcLlcl
Carriers Association. State Secretary
A. F. Perkins of Atlantic, Ia, was pres

explained that much benefit was de-

association. The local organization

dent, Bert Woodruff; Vice-president.

Denison people will read with in
terest the advertisement of the Econ
0my meat market in this weeks issue
Of the Review. Wilbur Roberts, the
manager of the market, has decided to
discontinue the delivery service and
put the business on q strictly cash
basis and by so doing will be able to
sell meat at saving of from two to
three cents pound to the customer.
In these days of high prices every
thing possible must be done to lower
the high cost OF living and we believe
that Mr.. Roberts is inaugurating a
plan which will be followed by every
merchant in the small towns and the
cities before the close Of the war.
