Denison, Dies in Los Angeles, at
the Age Of 81 Years
PNEUMONIA CAUSE OF DEATH
Was a Prominent Business Man Of
Los Angeles at Time Of Death

Word was received in Denison last
week from Los Angeles, Cali, of the
death of Raymond Hefflefinger, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Heffelfinger,
pioneer residents of Denison. He
passed away Ct his home in Los An
geles on Friday, Janury 10th. THE
cause of his death being pneumonia,
which followed an attack of the in
t1uenza.
Raymond w. Heffelfnger was born
in Denison, Jan. IL. 1885, and thus was
almost 81 years of age at the time of
his death. He left Denison with his
parents in 1893 and in 1897 located at
Los Angeles, where he has since
made his home. The father and moth
err and an older brother, Fred Heffel-
finger, are the surviving members of
the family. Mr.. Heffelfnger was mar
ried in 1908 to Miss Pearl Jordan, who
is made a widow with three young
children.
At the age of Is, Mr.. Heffelfnger
was employed in the sheet music de-
partment of the J. T. Fitzgerald Mu-
sic company at Los Angeles, and three
years later founded the sheet music
firm of R. w. Heffelfinger, in connec-
ton with the George J. Birkel COM
pany. This firm has become widely
known in music circles throughout the
United States as retailers, jobbers
and publishers of sheet music. At
the time of his death Mr.. Heffelfinger
was secretary-treasurer of the Ma
tional Association of Sheet Music
dealers, an organization he had been
largely instrumental in founding.
Old friends of the Heffelfinger fam

NEW DEP. TREAS. MARCH 1sT.
John Hugg Will Go to Farming in
South Dakota-Henry VoIIerson
Will Fill the Position.

John Hugg who has held the office
of deputy county treasurer under
Louie Evers for a number of years,
informs the Review that he will re-
sign the office March list, when he
and his wife will move to his farm To-
Gated near Platte, S. Oak. This an
nouncement will not come as a sur
prise to his many friends in this COM
munity. who have known for several
months that he was anxious to engage
in farming. County Treasurer Evers
states that he will appoint Henry Vol
lerson of Denison to fill this vacancy.
Mr.. Vollerson was in the employ of
the Farmers State Bank at Dow City
until last summer when he enlisted
in the service and only recently re-
ceived his discharge. Having had con-
siderable experience in banking, he
will be we'll qualified to carry on the
work in the treasurer'S office.

COUNCIL PLANS
FOR PAVING
So
Met Last Evening and Went Over
Paving Proposition-No Definite
Action Was Taken
WILL ASCERTAIN THE COST
Discuss FEASIBILITY Of Paving Lin
coin Highway Through Denison
and Road to Lehfeldt Farm

Tie city council met with a number
of the business men last night at the
city hall, at which time the advisa
bility of paving was discussed. Mem
bers of the council expressed them
selves in favor of paving in the neigh
borhood Of sixty blocks, providing the
cost at this time would not be pro-
hibitive.
1t is the plan Of the council to pave
the Lincoln highway leading into Den
ison from the east from the old brick
yard to the foot of Sweet street, also
Washington avenue from the north
brick school to the power plant, as
we'll as number of connecting streets
The advisability of paving the road
from the Illinois Central tracks to the
Lehfeldt corner west OF town was dis
cussed. This strip of road in wet
weather is always in poor condition
and at times almost impossible.
Property owners with but few eX.
ceptions are in favor of an extensive
paving program for the present year,
but members Of the council state that
they are not in favor OF going ahead
until they are able to learn the ap-
proximate cost. They fear that the
labor question and the high cost of
material would make the Improvement
out of the question at the present
time.
There is no question but what Den.
ison is badly in need of more pave
ment. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been spent in keeping the
streets graded and in repair and all
this would be eliminoted with paw.
ing Since the Gu crete paving has
been laid even those who were most
skeptical a few years ago are now
right out and out boosters for pave
ment.
The Review is heartily in favor OF
an extensive paving program for this
year if it can be laid at reasonable
figure.

CRAWFORD TO
RAISE $17,5O0.
County Now in Midst of Campaign to
Raise Money for the Sufferers in
the Near East
j. H. PATTERSON co. CHAIRMAN
Campaign in Denison to be An In
tensive One-City Has Been Di-
Vided Into Districts

Crawford county is now in the
midst of campaign to raise it's quota
o. $17,500 for the sufferers relief in
the near east The campaign strong
ly endorsed by President Wilson, the
national council of defense and the
Red Cross. is for a worthy cause. II
any reader saw a starving child lying
helpless in the street, he would not
pass it by without giving it succor.
That. is just what one does to the
starvingl ArmenianI Syrfans, Greeks
and Jews of the near east, veritable
millions of them, if one does not help
create this fund. The story of their
suffering, the result of milftaristic
greed, is too horrible to relate in de-
tail They are homeless, hunger
crazed. whole families living twenty
four hours on a bowl of soup, for
which they waited in line half day
and sometimes turned away empty
handed; mothers hiding dead babies
bodies to retain bread cards. Can we
turn a deaf ear to this awful appeal?
The campaign which is being con-
Quoted this week is in charge of the
council of defense and the organiza-
lions in each of the twenty townships
are making house to house canvass.
While rainy weather and bad roads
are interfering to some extent with
the campaign, reports reaching j. Il.
Patterson, county chairman of this
drive. are most gratifying. Mr.. Pat
terson is receiving reports daily re-
garding the progress being made.
Denison township has the honor of
being the first township to raise it's
quota which was deposited with L. G.
Kemming, treasurer, on Saturday aft
ternoon: Jackson township RENTED
the amount assigned them to Mr..
Patterson on Sunday morning, and
Iowa township notified him Monday
morning that they had gone over the
top already in raising the quota as
signed to that township.
In Denison the campaign is to be
an intensive one. Sunday morning
all of the ministers explained to their
congregations the purpose of the
drive and asked their support and co.
operation The city has been divided
into districts and every house will be
canvassed before the close of the.
week.

WHITE MAN CAN'T

Sale to Toronto Causes Star
Red Sox to Wonder.

George Whiteman, ball player, Is
walking around these days figuratively
scratching his head.
And George has a right TO rub his
fingers DER his dome,
Last fall Whiteman proved one OF
the big stars Of the world series for
the Red Sox. A few days ago the Bos.
ton club asked for waivers on him and
every club in the league passed him
UT.
George was given a tryout by the
Yankees back In 1919 while Frank
Chance was guiding the club, Chance
shipped him back to tho minors. The
next baseball heard OF him he was run
ming up timber bills in the International
league as a fence buster for the To
ronto club. Last season Manager Bar

replace Duffy Lewis, Duffy, you re-
member, Joined the navy. Ed obtained
Whiteman.
Whitoman filled the bill, although he
sat on the bench often because Ruth s
hitting caused Barrow to put Babe in
the outfield when he wasn't pitching.
But Whiteman finished the season
with a batting average Of .267. He col.
lected "a hits, including IA doubles and
a homer. lie famed only nine times
and drew 20 bases.
Then along came the 3 big series
Whitemnn was a prime mover In all
the Red Sox rallies In that series. He
slammed out five hits In the six games.
Charley Pick Of the Cubs was the only
player to hang up more swats,
Whiteman's work in fielding Bar
ber's fly in the sixth game was the
most spectacular play OF the series. He
rolled over and over after capturing
the sphere.
Three bases were swiped by the Sox
in the series and George got one OF
them.
And now George has been traded to
Toronto.
Truly, we don't blame George for
bordering over the matter.
