B. OWEN, Proprietor A very interesting meeting of the Denison Commercial club was held in the State bank Friday night. Much enthusiasm was manifested in reports of improvements along the line of weed cutting and brightening up Two property owners have decided to have three houses each painted. Several other single building jobs are in progress. DENISON TO THE FRONT.

Steps are being taken to have the building known as "The old livery barn" on Central avenue removed. The club expressed apprecation of the fact that Denison has hotel ac-commodations for all who come. During the time we were without such need of it was much felt. The club thinks that by the encouragement of the citizens the hotel can be not only a financial success for the proprietor tut an attraction for our town. The end of cleaning up is not yet.

What we have accomplished only gives desire for more. And SO a "Cleaning up day" has been appointed July 26th, (next Tuesday) was set for 8 more thorough cleaning of alleys and back yards. The city is to furnish wagons: free to haul away the trash on that day, providing each property owner and renter gathers the rubbish and puts it in the alleys read;) to be loaded up. Those who mow our alleys can scarcely mow some places because of old wire, barrel hoops, cans, etc. Let one and all assist.

in this move for a cleaner, healthier and more attractive Denison. Boost Denison by boostting her public enterprises. Don't knock. Give help and encou agement. Clean up and keep the trash wagone busy next Tuesday.

Get your name on the D. C. C. membership list. It is for all interested in a better town whether you live in town or not.

Seneder. Notice it when you drive into town. To see a well kept street, with the lawns mowed the parkings well kept up and lots of flowers, follow Central from the Christian chuhch down town. The building belonging to George Sills on Main street has been reI painted. Notice Rev.

D. H. Elliott's flowers, when you go by. They are worth looking at. If the trees are trimmed on rubbish day, the wagons will haul away the limbs and branches for you.

Mulanax has lawn mowers for sale. Trim your lawns and make them look well. C. E. RALLY ENDED.

The Christian Endeavor Rally week, ended Saturday with a very enjoyable picnic, in Coleman's grove. Everv one was well pleased with the meetings and felt it was of great benefit to the Denison young people. Wednesday evening, Rev. Elliott spoke on "Prayer" and held a discussion on "Giants" and methods were given on how to fight the every day giants we all meet with. It was very practical and helpful.

Thursday evening Rev. Brown, gave a splendid talk full of good things. Friday night, Mr. J. L.

Forsyth, of Winchester, talked on "A Pure Life" His talk was along practical lines and contained many good thoughts. R. Scneder, the local president, summed up the week's work, and urged all to work harder for their particular society and for Denison young people in general. A Girls' quartette was very pleasing. The choir rendered good song service throughout the week.

The president takes this opportunity of thanking all who contributed so much to the helpfulnesss of the meetings and assure all the society appreciates their work. Emery Oneil is building a four room cottage in the north part of town which will be quite an improvement tr that part of town. Harry Martin is doing the in Vindicator. Do Not Let Your Property Run Down Our present price on Pure Old Process Linseed oil, per gal. .80 Too many people look upon painting simply in the light of an expense.

Nothing is further from the truth. When you get right down to hard facts, IT IS REALLY AN ECONOMY. Painting is really not half as expensive as FAILURE- TO PAINT, when it is needed. If there ever was an action that could be characterized as "Penny wise and pound foolish," it is putting off painting. The life of a building can be PROLONGED a great many years and at a very small expense by proper attention to the condition of the painting and it can with equal certainty be shortened many years by neglect of painting.

Why do so many house-owners inusre against fire, which is only a remote contingency, and neglect to protect their buildings against those other elements--wind and water-which are ALWAYS PRESENT and just as destructive.

Waggener for $500 the other day. He 1so sold a five year old to Lee of Harveyville, for $565. If you have an enterprise in your city that works for the good of the town have no patience with the narrow minded egotist who knocks it. He is prompted by selfishness, greed or jealousy. Word has been received that Miss Mabel Faris was married last week to Mr.

L. Patterson of Odell, Colo. They will make their home there. Mrs. Patterson is a briliant and popular girl, and has a host offrineds who wish her happiness.

The Farmers' Company Threshing machine is in town being overhauled. They expect to thresh oats for John Chestnut as soon as they get it thoroughly cleaned. For the most part, the oats in this section of the country is good, Mr. Chestnut's being especially so. He is as good a farmer as he is a blacksmith.

Announcements have been received of the marriage of Miss Adelaide Tyler off San Antoin, Texas, to Mr. Morris Darlington, Tuesday at six thirty o'clock. They have gone to Colorado to spend a week there before returning to Topeka where they will make their home. Mr. Darlington is a brilliant young man with fine pros pects, being connected with the Capper Publishing for some years, and also has a still brighter future.

Mr. and Mrs. Darlington have the con gratulations of a host of friends here. At Denison during the noon hour, another crowd had gathered, and again the two candidates made short speeches. Wagstaff made an excellent impression at Denison as may be judged from the following: W.

A. Gilliland, a farmer who lives a few miles north of the little town, was in the audience at Denison. He had been an ardent supporter of Stubbs. After hearing the candidaae for Governor and reading his campaign literature on the way home, Mr. Gilliland was out on the roadside hurrahing for Wagstafff when the automobile party passed the Gilliland farm on the way to Whiting.

Mr. Gilliland's daughter stopped the party long enough, to present the gubernatorial candidate with a handsome boquet of own offering, and with a big basket of fine peaches, the offering of her -Topeka Capital. The meeting held here was not very largely attended owing to the farmer's being so busy, but a very good crowd assembled to hear Mr. Wagstaff. The Stubbs supporters insist that he did not secure many votes, while the men boosting for Wagstaff thinks the speech, won some votes.

We know of two voters who were converted. Last night, T. A. McNeal spoke to a good large crowd. He was enthusias ticly received, and his supporters feel that his speech made an' impression.
