STARVING IN UNITED STATES (D
Mrs. Thos. Lister Receives Letter
From Her Mother in Sweden, In
closing One Dollar for Food

Mrs. Thos. Lister received a letter
from her mother, who resides in Swe-
den, in which she enclosed a dollar bill
with the following comment: I'VE un-
derstand in Sweden that the people
in the United States are starving.
am sending you $1.OO which l hope
will relieve your suffering, and will
buy you some little necessities"
Several weeks ago Mrs. Lister wrote
her mother a letter and sent her dol
lar bill. After reading in the papers
the suffering in the United States
from the scarcity of food the mother
decided to return the bill to her dangh-
ter. XXI
Undoubtedly the Germans are get
ting in their work in Sweden and are
making the people there believe that
the people in the United States are
starving. Far from it. The United
States will keep the wolf from it's own
door as we'll as supplying its armies
in France and it's allies.

Few cities the size of Denison can

Renfro was the architect and together
with Il. w. Mann drew all Of the plans
and superintended the construction
work. The building is most imposing
with tapestry pressed brick used on
the front and the most modern glass
front, affording plenty OF display space
for the front windows.
For years the business Of this con-

Fred Conrey Earns Money Him.
self to Join Organization.
NOW PROUDLY WEARS BUTTON
Many Who Are Years Older Could
Profit by Example Of This
Little Tot.

Miss Elizabeth Meehan answered
the door bell at the hospital at an
early hour Saturday morning and upon
opening the door, was greeted with a
cheerful Good Morning" from five
year old boy who was so bundled up
that it was hard for him to get the
words out. The salutation was follow
ed by Are you the lady that can get
me into the Red Crosse" At first Miss
Meehan was dumfounded but replied
that she was authorized to accept
memberships from anyone who paid
the fee of $1.OO. Thereupon the little
tot unbundled himself enough to ex-
tract a much worn purse from his poe
ket which he opened and proudly
poured the contents of pennies and
nickels out into Miss Meehan's hand.
After carefully counting the coins, and
there were many, Miss Meehan found
they amounted to just one dollar. Now
Hcrold Conrey, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred Conrey, and a nephew of Miss
Pearl Gary, Red Cross nurse serving
in France, is member OF the Deni-
son Chapter of the American Red
Cross society. He is wearing Red
Cross button and we dare say he is
one Of the prOudest members of the
local chapter. Herold has an older
brother and several months ago, this
brother joined the Red Cross. Herold
did not propose to let his age keep him
out of the society and went to his par
ents with the plan of earning the
money himself for the membership.
OF course he found encouragement and
there were many errands to run, wood
to be brought in, sidewalks to be swept
and many odd jobs such as a little boy
alone can do. He was not satisfied
to contine his efforts at home but
solicited work in the neighborhOod
and slowly the worn little leather purse
filled up with pennies and nickels.
Each evening he carefully counted the
money and when he finally earned the
last nickel, Saturday morning, he lost
no time in securing his membership.
There are many people right here in,
tDenison who lack the patriotism of
this five year old boy, and could profit
by the example he has set.

Today's Chicago Tribune prints a
Geographic dispatch from its CORE
spondent at Washington, d. c., to the
effect that the draft of the second in
crement of 100000 men to the national
army will be initiated on or about
May 1st, according to an order await
ing the signature of Secretary of War
Baker Under the plan proposed the
government will begin May 1st call
ing to the training camps each week
approximately 10000 men of class one
of the body of registrants as recently
classified. The men thus called to the
colors will supplant an equal number
of men Of the national army and ma
tional guard who will have completed
preliminary training in this country
and will be ready for transportation to
France Unusual significance attaches
to the fact that the administration has
decided to begin drafting the second
Of the national army in May.
Recently Secretary Baker stated that
no date for calling more, drafted men
was under consideration and that the
drafting Of another increment depend
ed largely upon developments abroad.
1t is inferred therefore that the adj.
has about given up hope
of peace this spring and is preparing
for another year or more of war

show room and it is one of the most
pretentiOus we have seen. 1t has am
pie room for displaying several cars
at one time and these are driven in
from the rear through double doors. A
large balcony above the display room
is fitted up for the business office of
the company and there is a private
office there for the proprietors' use.
The rear end of the ground floor is
devoted to the storage of cars, with
an entrance on the east side of the
building onto Broadway. The garage
is provided with wash rack where
cars may be washed and polished even
during the winter months. An cleo
trio elevator permits moving cars from
this floor to the basement or to the re-
pair rooms on the second floor. The
front part Of the second floor, that fac
ing on Broadway, is used for display
ing farm machinery and implements of
all kinds. Here the farmer will be
able to see corn plOws, planters, reap
ers, and in fact all kinds of machinery
set up so he can have them demon
strated to his satisfaction. The south
end of this floor is devoted to the re-
pair shop for automobiles. All of the
modern machinery necessary for con-
Quoting a first class repair shop can
be fOultl here.
In the basement is the storage and
shipping departments. All of the farm
ing implements are stored here until
taken to, the second floor to be display
ed. A lection of the basement has
been set aside for spare parts and re-
pairs for machinery.
The immense building is heated with
steam and a down draft smoke con-
suming boiler is used. The building is
equipped with an intercOmmunicating
telephone system which will permit
talking from one department to an
other in the building without calling
central. A ladies' rest room, together
with lavatories, are located at various
places in the building.
We trust that a goodly number of
people will avail themselves Of the
privilege of going through this fine
new structure during the dedication.

Orders for the mobilizing of the re-
naming SIS per cent Of Crawford coun'
tvs quota were received by the board
last week, but the board was unable
to name the men who would be called
into the service until late hour last
night owing to the fact that the dis
trict medical board at Carroll had not
reported on some physical eXamina-
lions they had made of Crawford cOun-
ty registrants There are yet to be
called some Is men to fill the first
quota and these men will be notified
within the next few days.
These fifty Crawford county men
will leave Denison Tuesday morning
over the Northwestern on the train
leaving here at 9:21. They will go to
Carroll where a special train will be
made up for other men in nearby coun-
ties and go direct to Camp Dodge via
Ames.
The local board is winding up the
physical examination Of men placed in
class one and expect to have them all
examined by Friday Of this week. All
the men have been sent notices to ap-
pear for their physical examination.
Some Of the registrants will have to
go to Carroll to be examined by the
district board before they are finally
passed.
1t is impossible at this time for the
Review to give the exact number Of
men in class one. Many men in this
class have appealed from the CLASH
fication as made by the local board
and the district board has not passed
on all of the cases. Others have yet
to be examined by the district medical
board at Carroll. It is probable that
there will be something like 600 men
in the first class when the work is all

STUDIO MODERN THROUGHOUT
No Doubt w. w. Ferguson Has One
OF the Finest Studios in the
State of Iowa.

w. w. Ferguson is now settled in
his new building just east of the opera
house and has one of the finest studios
we have ever been in. Mr. Ferguson
has spared no expense in making the
studio modern in every detail and we
dare say it is the finest in western
Iowa. The studio is located on the
second floor of his new building and
takes up most Of the space on this
floor. The stairway to the second
floor leads from the sidewalk between
the Ducander clothing store and Bar
borka's jewelry store. A spacious re-
ception room is located at the head of
the stairs. This room is finished in
oak with furniture and fixtures
to match. French doors open from
the reception room into the operating
room which extends across the entire
north end of the building. A large sky
light furnishes plenty Of light for the
taking of photographs, even on the
darkest days. Off of the reception
rooms are located two dressing rooms.
A large workroom off the operating
room and to the west side of the build
ing is used for mounting pictures,
while the dark room opens off this
room to the south. Space is provided
for stock and supplies Of all kinds.
The south end OF the building is divid-
ed into three commodious rooms which
Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson will fit up for
light housekeeping. Mr.. Ferguson ex-
tends to all an invitation to visit his
new studio and he will take pleasure
in showing all visitors through.

City and county health officials. including the civil authorities, are to be commended for their efficient and diligent work in the influenza cru sade that is being waged in Pine Bluff
 The disease is not an epidemic in Pine Bluff The fact that it is not an epidemic and has not been very noticeable is due to the fact that these officials took immediate and effect i've steps towards the control of the malady.
 A total of 163 cases reported in one day with two deaths and the deaths are not actually attributed to influ enZa
 The orders of the authorities have been rigidly enforced and in justice to the citizens of Pine Bluff it may be stated that they complied without very much objection.
 Everything possible for the eradi, cation of the disease has been and is being done. It is not thought that the disease will prove unusually ser ious in Pine Bluff if the citizens vii aibde by the rules and regulations promulgated by the officials.

GETTING ON BAND WAGON,

Austria-Hungary and Turkey, ac- cording to unconfirmed reports, have scuttled the good ship Germany. De- finite peace proposals from these two countries are said to be on the way to Washington. It is stated that these proposals are in the nature of definite appeal for peace, not an armstice.
 Conditions in the two countries are "ripe" for the ending of the war. Both realize that they cast their fortunes with a loser and are now desirious of salvaging as much out of the wreck as may be possible under the circum- stances.
 The move of the German Chancel- Tor Macmillan will probably have a great deal to do with the decision of the two countries, if they have not as yet arrived at decision.
 However, there is no doubt but that the two countries are attempting to get on the s'band wagon" but this will avail them but little in the final reckoning. Austria's soldiers have proven veritable demons and mur- derers in the hostilities. The Turks have not been quite so "raw," but all in all they must pay the price.
 In the meantime President Wilson and other United States officials are in the "band stand" watching the parade.
