road company as it is only question
of time when the county seat VIII be
located here in the center of the coun-

want the train service as 1t is now to
enable them to get to the county seat
and back the same day.
If the wholesale houses of keokuk
know what's good for them they will
not insist on the change.
Seventy per cent of the passenger
traffic on this line is north of Don
nelson, and they have no business n
Keokuk, but want train service that
will enable them to go to their coun-
ty seat and return in a reasonable
time, and as they furnish the larger
share of the patronage. ii stands to
reason that their welfare should be
looked after. rather than the desire of
q few merchants in keokuk who think
that in the proposed change they see
an opportunity TO rake in few dollars
which really belongs up in this neck
Of the woods.

About REPAIRING.

On replacing repaired inner tube
or putting in new one. always place
a piece of stout canvas on the inside
of the outer case. covering the pune
ture or tear in the outer case. This
will prevent blowout of the inner
tube. When. however, the injury to
the outer tube is in the nature of a
tear, it is economy to use the extra
case. for tire will pick up grit and
gravel, which will work through any
orifce larger than a small nail hole.
and ruin both outer and inner tube.
In case one is not familiar with the
method of putting on tires. it is we'll
to take a lesson or two in the garage
before starting. otherwise the first at

directions given are carefully followed
but the novice must bear in mind that
patches applied to an automobile tire
do not always stick well. especially
when the weather is warm and a good
rate of speed is maintained The tires
get hot and the cement on the patches
melts and they are then OF no use.
Time and temper will be saved by
having tubes vulcanized at the first
stop where there is repair shop. and.
should one not desire to wait until the
repair is completed. it is an easy mat
ter to have the tire shipped forward

 All day long the candidates and their friends faced the cold and rain to work for their tickets, and up to the time that the polls closed there was still a doubt as to the outcome, although each side was very confident.

The school election also presented some complications. The candidates for the office to be filled this year, school clerk, were John W. Stoft and pr. H. c. DeVighne, both being classed among the best citizens of the town and having many mutual friends. The doctor was handicapped, however, by the fact that he was out of town at the time of his nomination and has not been home since, he being on one of his trips among the islands to the south. Also the doctor has repeatedly told his best friends in Douglas that he was not and would not be candi- date for official position because of his other duties. The contest was good natured and resulted in victory for MT. Stoft, whose vote was 167, against 146 for the doctor.
