The high school basket ball team
defeated the Missouri valley team in
a hotly contested game at the gym
nasium on Friday evening of last week
At the close of the game the score
stood SO to "a in Denison's favor.
Coach Weiss was proud Of the show
ing made by the Denison players
against the hardest team they have
met this season. The game was nip
and tuck throughout. both teams be-
ing almost evenly matched. The Den
ison boys were weak on baskets, but
they outgeneralled their opponents at
every stage of the game.
The score at the end of the first half
was Is to in Denison's favor. The
last half proved tie, both teams max
ing IS points. Missouri Valley show

PACKED HOUSE
GREETS QUARTET
Overseas Quartet, Under Auspices of
Boy Scouts, Greeted With Very
Lorae Audience Monday Night
HAD FOUGHT WITH CANADIANS
Boy Scouts Increased Their Bank Ac-
count to the Extent of $10O-
Now Building Cabin

The Overseas quartet, which appear
ed here in concert and lecture at the
opera house on Monday evening, was
greeted with a packed house. The en-
tertainment was given under the aus
pieces of the Boy Scouts of the city,
and through their efforts the affair
was widely advertised and a large
number Of people from surrounding
towns as we'll as from our own COM
munity were present to enjoy the en-
tertainment.
The company was composed Of four
men one American, two Scotchmen
and one Irishman, who had all fought
with the Canadian army and all dis
charged owing to physical disabilities.
Harry Bull, the American, who was
the lecturer, was seriously handicap
ped with a cold which affected his
voice and made it almost impossible
for him to talk, but he made a brave
effort and delivered talk which was
listened to with profound interest by
the entire audience. Private Bull
played an important part in several
battles and was severely wounded IN
the battle Of Hill No. 70. from which
he did not recover sufficiently as to
be able to again enter the service,
having lost one limb.
In his talk he touched upon the re-
ligious life of the soldier and also told
many interesting incidents of every
day life among the boys while in &C
tive service He paid the highest trlb-
ute to the Red Cross and the good
work it has accomplished throughout
the entire period of the war, and as
sured the audience that in contribut-
ing to this cause they were giving to
the most worthy cause in the worlds
history. He spoke briefly Of the atroc-
tiles committed by the Germans, class
ing them with the heather and I'M
civilized population Of the world. The
speaker paid his respects to the pro-
Germans here in the United States
and told how the German thrift stamps
had been sold right here in this coun-
try while we were at war with Ger
many. He advised that the pro-Ger-
mans be taken care of before the boys
came back from the other side or there
would be something doing. His talk
lasted for over an hour and during
that time he held the wrapt attention
Of the audience and his remarks
brought forth hearty applause.

A MEMORIAL
FOR THE BOYS
Iowa Historical Society Seeking to
Obtain Name, Record, Photograph
and Biography of Iowa Soldiers
GROUP PICTURE IN COURT HOUSE
Commercial Club Endeavoring to Pro-
vide Suitable Memor in Way Of
Permanent Picture Display

| The Review is in receipt of letter
this morning from Rep. Leon w. Pow
ers, advising us that the Iowa State
Historical society is making an eff
| fort to obtain the name, military rec
ord photograph and a short biograph-
ical statement concerning each SOL
der in the state of Iowa who died in
| the uniform of the United States.
| An effort should be made by the
relatives and friends of the soldiers
to provide this information so that
Crawford county's record of sacrifice
| in the great war may be available for
use of future historians.
The Denison Commercial club is
now endeavoring to provide suitable
memorial in the way of permanent
display of pictures of all of our Craw-
ford county boys who served in the
army. This collection should be made
complete. Other counties of the state
have already started on this undertake
ing 1t will require possibly year
or more to secure all of these pictures,
with the data giving the organization
and the service of each soldier who
went from the county. The expense
should be gladly borne by all our peo-
pie through appropriations by the
board of supervisors.
The plan in mind is to secure these
pictures in whatever way possible,
then have copies of them made in per-
manent form, all pictures thus to be
exactly the same size and all in frames
exactly alike, so that no favoritism
will be shown. A permanent frame
can be attached to the wall of the ro
tunda in the main floor space of the
court house and these small picture
frames can be slipped into the frame
or rack, making beautiful freize or
border about 80 inches wide extending
all the woy around the rotunda at
suitable height for people to study
and view the pictures.
Such an exhibit would be perma-
nent and the pictures can be added
right along as they are made ready.
Let old Crawford not delay in this
important matter but get this going
while the bays can be reached. We
are all proud of the record made by
our boys in this war and should take
this opportunity of honoring them.
Then too, we should leave a perma-
nent record for the future generations.
Let every parent and the friends Of

and SEED HOUSE
Jacob Weiss e. Sons Purchase the
Temple Lumber Yard Property and
Will Erect Large Elevator
A WHOLESALE CANDY FACTORY
VIM. Slavery Purchases Ground Just
, West Of Temple Lumber Yard Prop
erty for Factory Site

The year 1919 promises to be ban
ner year in the history of Denison
from the standpoint of improvements
and new business ventures. At the
annual meeting of the Commercial
club held the fore part of this month,
George Naeve intimated that before
another month passed there would be
an announcement that would open the
eyes of the people of Denison and
mean much to the growth and adj
vancement of the city. Yesterday Mr..
Naeve made the announcement to the
two DenisOn newspapers which will
be of great interest to everyone.
New Elevator and Seed House
Jacob Weiss & Sons have purchased
the w. R. Temple lumber yard prop
erty, located at the foot of Sweet
street, and contemplate the erection
of large concrete elevator and seed
house. This property was purchased
a few weeks ago by Mr.. Naeve who in
turn sold it to Mr.. Weiss. The loca-
ton is most desirable, being on
paved street fronting on a sidetrack
of the Northwestern. The lot is 971ax
1872 feet.
Mr.. Weiss, in speaking or this I'M
provement with a representative OF
the Review, said that the present quar-
tiers of the Denison Seed company are
too small to adequately carry on the
fast increasing business. 1t is his plan
to erect large concrete elevator and
seed warehouse on this excellent site.
The elevator and warehouse/will be
fireproof and all of the latest machin-
cry and appliances will be installed
to handle the business.
Plans have not yet been drawn for
these buildings and it is possible that
the improvement will not be made un-
til building conditions have improved.
Mr.. Weiss, however, hopes to have
the building underway this summer.
The Denison Seed company is one
of Denison's growing institutions and
the concern is known throughout Iowa,
Nebraska and Illinois. 1t was estab-
lished only few years ago by E. c.
Baum, who sold out later to- 5acob
Weiss & Sons. Albert Weiss has been
managing this business for the past
year or more, his father assisting him
during the busy season of the year.
Under the management of Albert the
business has grown by leaps and
bounds until now it is one of the larg-
est establishments Of it's kind in west
