BOYS AND GIRLS PAYING.
Names of Those Who Had Paid Their
7. NJ. G.. A. Pledges

The earn and Give" campaign of
the Y. M. G. A. among the boys and
girls, which was begun in November
reached a successful conclusion April
1, although not all the money has
been paid in yet. During the Y M
G. A. campaign last fall, pledges were
taken from the boys and girls to give
$40 or $5 in case two signed one
pledge. The pledge further required
that the money was to be earned or
saved. The sum was purposely made
large by the promoters in order to
challenge the best in the boys and
girls by it's difficulty. To quote from
american YOUTH the official organ
fact stands out clearly that boys
everywhere rose to the estimate of
their capacity made by adults"
From all over the country came
stories of genuinely heroic work to
earn the money, and Orleans county
is not without it's share. Surely, he.
roes are in the making when school
boys and girls can complete such an
undertaking and earn and pay nearly
a thousand dollars in the few towns
listed below. "Does anyone who has
worked with boys know of any finer
demonstration Of personal sacrifice on
the part of boys than is already
shown?"
The total pledges in the county, ex-
cepting Newport are $3.50, 72@o of
which has been paid. Below is given
the standing of the towns and the
names of those who have paid. The
money to complete the unpaid pledges
should be paid to the local treasurer
as soon as possible in order to secure
the certificates which are given as
receipts. Anyone entitled to the but
tons who has not one may get them
from B. R. Buchanan of West Glover.

Getting the Best of Jack

Jack was very troublesome lad,
and caused his father and mother
much grief. He was quite young,
only in the fifth grade, but he got in
to mischief at school, and would not
learn his numbers. His parents
wished him to be studious little boy,
and become interested in his school
lessons, but he would rather romp
with his dog, and drive nails into the
side of the house, naturally. An
other one of Jacks characteristics
that must not be left out is that he
disliked to have his face washed, and
a bath was the dread of his life.
One of the things which humiliat-
ed Jacks parents most was that he
@inked at every little girl that he
saw. They had done everything to
@.5reak him of this habit, but nothing
seemed to have an effect on him.
One day his father came hurrying
to his mother as if he had some very
good news to tell her, he said, "Ma,
at last I've found way to make that
young scamp of ours stop winking
his eye"
"Really," exclaimed the mother.

show him the article in this science
magazine where it says that every
time we wink we give the eye bath"

however, to business houses and soft

There seems to be considerable agi-
tation for the changing of the road
out of Denison past the McHenry
farm. Since the visit here last week
of the Northwestern official and his
report on the two dangerous cross
ings near the McHenry farm, there
seems to be feeling on the part OF
number of our citizens that some
improvement should be made. One
Of these crossings is, nothing but a
death trap and already several lives
have been lost there. We understand
that H. B. Fishel, the county survey
or, believes that a road could be run
to the north of the Northwestern right
of way at cost of about $4,000. With
a new road running on the north side
of the right of way both dangerous
crossings would be eliminated for all
traffic going east and west on the Lin
coin highway. -.

LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Large Attendance of Members Pres
ent at Meeting Held Last Evening
Plan to Clean Up City.

A meeting of the Law and Order
league was held last evening at the
McHenry hall and considerable bust
ness transacted. There were large
number in attendance at the meeting.
Reports were made by members OF
the league of the conditions in Deni-
son and general discussion followed
as to how best to remedy them. Very
few people really appreciate the de-
plorable conditions in the city and
members of the law and order league
propose to put a general house clean
ing into effect so the good name OF
Denison will not be disgraced. We
do not say that conditions IN Denison
are any worse than they are in nearby
cities and towns, but conditions are
such as to warrant drastic action OF
some kind.
Members of the league reported at
the meeting last evening that there is
considerable bookkeeping going on
here. 1t was reported that regular
transportation line is being maintain
ed from points in Minnesota to Deni-
son and whiskey is being sold in the
city.
Complaint was made at the meeting
over the fact that it is not safe for
women and girls to be on the street at
ter dark unaccompanied. Several in
stances were cited where girls have
been accosted on the streets by men
and boys in an endeavor to make
dates with them.
A plan was formulated at this
meeting by a special committee for
taking drastic action to remedy con-
ditions. Anoter meheting of the league
is scheduled for next Monday evening
at o'clock.

SPOOkS OR WHAT?
On Different Occasions Women and
Children Have Seen Nude Man
at Old laub Livery Barn

There was considerable excitement
over at the old Laub livery barn short
ly after the noon hour today. A young
lady who passed by there on her way
home to dinner happened to glance
into the window as she was going
along and saw man stark naked
standing in the room used for washing
vehicles. She screamed to her broth
er who was only half block away and
fell in a faint near DR.. Ben Mills res
idence.
Men were summoned and a guard
was placed about the building while
others ransacked every nook and cor
ner of the barn, but the man could
not be found. A mans work shirt with
an undershirt in it was found in the
hay loft.
On four different occasions during
the past month women and children
have reported seeing naked man in
the barn. Twice he has been seen
during the daytime and other times in
the evening. At no time, however,
has the man accosted passersby.
City officers are at loss as to. the
identity of the man. Some people are
Of the opinion that the fellow is of a

is being made to learn the identity Of
