work already done in the county and
are to run for a period of twenty years

ty to retire any or all of them fifteen
years from date. "
Only six banking institutions were
represented at the sale held in the

DenisOn Post, American Legion. Will
Z Take. Over Lecture Course for Next
Season-NOW Securing Talent
MEMORIAL SERVICES ON, FEB. 2e
French Certificates Will be Presented
Nearest Relatives Of Soldier Boys
. Who Died i'm France

At meeting of the Denison post,
American Legion, held on Monday eve.
ming of this week, it was decided to
take over the lecture course for. next
season and a special committee was ap.
pointed to select the talent. The lee.
ture course this season is being given
under the auspices of the Commercial
club and while the course is paying out
there has been a feeling among bust
ness men that the American Legion
could more successfully handle the
course than any group of men or or
ganiZation. We understand that the
special committee has partially select
ed the talent for the course from the
Redpath-Vawter system, but announce
ment will not be made until the con-
tract Is signed. 1t is expected that all
arrangements will be completed within
the course of a few days and that an
active campaign for the sale Of season
tickets will be inaugurated in the near
future. There is no question but what
the people Of Denison win give the le-
gion their hearty support in their I'M
dertaking and do everything possible
to make it a success.
Arrangements have been made by the
post to hold memorial exercises at the
opera house on the evening Of FebrI-
airy 22d, at which time the French GER
tificates will be given to the nearest
relatives of our brave boys who died in
France. Fitting exercises for this &C.
casion are being arranged. Hanford
McNider, of Mason City, will be present
and deliver the address. Mr.. McNider
is state vice commander of the Ameri-
can Legion and is an excellent speaker.
The local post decided at the Mon.
day evening meeting to give minstrel
show at the opera house soon after lent,
and this promises to be the biggest af.
The post has considerable talent in its
membership and other talent from out.
side sources will be called upon.

The city council held the regular

second ward, presumably to enter pro.

of those present, however, stated priv

people living in various sections of the
city, the heading of which read as fol-
lows:

Of having any paving done in Denison
Iowa, during the year 1920, as every.
thing Is so high that many poor people
will have to mortgage their homes, and

is at the top r-.I~

much more expensive than plain con.
crete. The engineer in charge of the
paving says he hopes and expects to
keep the price within the $500 mark
for the paving, and the council, so we
understand, says that if the bids go too
high they will be turned down. Some
talk on the street that has been detri.
mental was to the effect that the engi-
neer, Mr.. Wayne, was to receive ten
per cent of the contract price for his
work, when in reality his contract with
the city calls for four per cent, and he
furnishes the inspection. Another story
has been circulated that proper adver-

ABBIE M'HENRY-.
+. GEORGE DEAD
Mrs. Ed George, nee Abbie McHenry
Passes Away at BircfmOnt Hospital,
in Omaha, Tuesday Afternoon
WAS ILL BUT A VERY FEW DAYS
Husband and Brother, George McHen
ry, Mt Bedside at Time of Death
Had Contracted Pneumonia

Relatives in Denison received a tele'
phone message Tuesday afternoon. Feb
! ruary Sd, that Mrs. Ed George, nee Alb
bic Sears McHenry, had died at Birch
mont hospital in Omaha that afternoon
at. 430 o'clock, pneumonia being the
cause of her death. She had been III
but a few days. .s .-..-. a-. r
The first news of Mrs. Georges ILL
ness reached Denison Tuesday morning,
when Mr.. George, the husband. tele-
phoned to the brother, George McHen.
ry, advising him that his sister was suf-
| fering with pneumonia and had been
taken to Birchmont hospital, and that
he had best come to her bedside. Mr..
McHenry departed on the Northwestern
at noon and was soon at the hospital.
He was not recognized by Mrs. George,
as the dread disease had taken too firm
a hold upon the patient, and she passed
away soon after his arrival.
Mrs. George was taken ill last week
with what was at first thought to be a
cold, and after local home treatment
failed to relieve, she was taken to the
Birchmont hospital on Monday Of this
week, and soon afterwards pneumonia
set in, and all that medical skill could
do was to no avail, and she passed
peacefully on at 4:3O o'clock on Tuesday
afternoon, Feb. 8, 1920. While no ar
rangements for the funeral have been
made at this time it is understood that
the remains will be buried in Omaha.
At the time the telephone message
reached Denison there were none of the
near relatives at home other than the
brother, George. Sears McHenry had
started for Canada, and kilograms have
been sent him: the father, w. A. Nc
Henry, and sister, Mrs. Jennie Seemann
are in California, and owing to the ad-
vanced age of the father it is probable
that he and Mrs. Seemann will be I'M
able to come to the funeral.
Abbie Sears McHenry was born in
Denison Sept 81, 1877, and until her
marriage had spent her entire life at
home She attended the public schools
here and graduated from the high
school. after which she attended the
university at Lincoln, also the Chicago
university and Marlborough college at
Los Angeles, and became possessed of
a very fine education. After completing
her school and college work she devoted
her life to the care of her loving moth
err, who had become an invalid. and was
a constant companion. ever present to
administer to the wants, and to provide
pleasure for the mother. The mother
passed away several years ago. Ever
a dUtiful and obedient daughter, her life
became the envy of ALL as a school girl,
