PRETTY APRON wiNs-In a


 nouncing the Rebekah ball on the night of April 1. some confusion has followed the incorrect statement that the prize would go to the best dancer. On the contrary, it is to go to the lady who makes the prettiest apron. It is to be an apron and necktie ball. The competitors each make aprons and ties to match. The ties are thrown in a box or basket and the gentlemen se- lect the one they like best and hunt mp the lady who has the apron to match. when they become partners for the grand march, and the lady who wears tbe prettiest apron gets the prize. The ties cost the gentlemen nothing. They pay when they come through the door. Ladies who have no aprons may attend as we'll and par ticipate in the dancing. but they will not compete for the prize, of course.

Listens to Lengthy Arguments OF
Major ~. 3. Collins Today and
Will be Called Upon to
Decide Point.
WHAT COLLINS HOLDS
Major Contends That City is Under
Commission Form Of Govern
rnent Right Now-Mar-
shall Says No.

Arguments in the case Of w B
Collins VS.. City of Keokul1 occupied
the attention of Judge H. Bank Jr.
in the district court today.
The greater part of the morning was
taken up by Major Collins, who con
suited the code quite frequently and
sought to be convincing in his argu
ments that the city is living under
the commission at the present time
and that the Interpretation prevalent
that 1t is not until the spring that
the commission form will supplant
the old status-is erroneous.
At the opening Of court this morn.
Ing 1t was agreed by the two attor-
] neys, w. B. Collins and City Attorney
a. u Marshall, that the demurrer
argued yesterday morning be specific
as applying to each paragraph and
that it have the same effect as a mo-
ton to strike certain paragraphs. The
city attorney filed his answer, after
court record had been made of the
agreement. and in it denied every al
lesatlon contained IN the petition.
Mr.. Collins stated that the council
at the present time stands in place of
the council under the commission pan
of government and that every resolu-
ton and ordinance must be drafted
and filed with the clerk ten days be-
fore acted upon. Also that there be-
ing no provision for an assessor, it
should follow that no funds shou' be
appropriated for his work at the pres
ent time.
The attorney also dwalt upon the
meaning of the word adopt" his argu-
ment being an effort to convey the In
depreciation that when the city got-
ed to adopt the new form Of govern
ment, the word adopt meant to go.
into force Immediately. to take unto
its own the new form.

of the Keokuk High school alumni this
afternoon when the football manage

Manager ]. ]. Crimmins, Jr., of the
alumni team, that the game scheduled
for Saturday has been called off.
Coming at this late hour, after con-
siderable hard work on the part Of the

with little apparent reason, members
of the alumni team and the entire as.
ISOLATION keenly feel the sting of the
high school football management, If
expressions made by team members
and outsiders can be taken as an evil
dence of their inwardmost feeling.
For nearly two weeks the alumni
team has been practicing, many of the
players taking exercise and runs OF
some kind daily to condition them.

had visited the field half dozen
times, practicing punts, drop kicks
and catching the ball. And it looks as
If all this hard work has gone for
naught.
In fact, although it is hard to be-
lieve, rumor has been current during
the past two days that the football.
players on the high school team have
hoistedE up the flag. thee olor of which
is well known to all who have partici-
pated in the bloody and rugged battle.
Some concede this rumor to the fact
that several of the older players of
the school witnessed and heard of the
alumni teams condition displayed in
practice Tuesday evening in front OF
the Y. M. G. A. In this practice, with
Crimmins, Phillips and Griffey, a

From school headquarters it is CIV

in condition for Saturdays game, with
the Thanksgiving battle with Jackson
vile coming five days later. The
high schoo1 management suggests that
a game might be played the Saturday
after Thanksgiving, but the alumni
doubt this very much.
1t looks as if the alumni are to be
refused the battle which should be
made an annual affair, to bring into
closer relations, the men in school
and the, graduates In case some of
the players are not in condition it
would not be difficult for Coach Bel
KNAPP to rush few of his substitutes
