Possibly Balfour can lay claim to

has been without the use Of his small

ground and then swinging his body
through them. Aside from his di-

STRAIGHT TALK ON
MADE IN KEOKUK'
Only One More Thing More Important
Than Buy in keokuk-Buy
Made in keokuk.

If there is anything more import
ant for Keokukians than to buy
things sold in Keokuk it is to buy
things made in Keokuk
Upwards of three thousand men
make their living by making things
in keokuk In every case the fac
tories which employ them are in ac-
tive competition it'll outside factories
whose goods reach the keokuk mar
ket.
If the number OF men employed in
Keokuk were to be increased from
three thousand to five thousand the
result would be most beneficial to the
city.
The increased business caused by
the buying of these men and their
families would make prosperous the
stores already here and give room
for more.
The increased taxes paid by the in
creased number of citizens would
make the further Identification ami
perfectio~ of the city possibility.
The task of providing three thous-
and extra homes would keep the
builders of the city busy for several
years The churches, the amuse-
ments, the public service corporations,
the railroads-in fact, every branch of
activity would be made more pros
porous.
The accomplishment OF this fact
i lies in the power of Keolukians
The number of men. in fact, could
probably be doubled if keokuk made
goods were exclusively patronized.
I That is not possible-indeed 1t may
not even be desirable to make keo.
kuk into a close corporation, buying
nowhere else. But keokukians owe
their first .upport to their home in
stitutions and should make it liberal.
Made in Keokuk" ought to be a
slogan that would be wonderfully at
tractive to keokukians Made in
keokuk" ought to sell an article
! every time unless the foreign made
article could show marked points Of
superiority Practice the slogan and
/ watch keokuk factories grow.

RAY JOHNSON
BREACHES TONIGHT
The M. p. Revival in Full SWIM, and
Enthusiasm Runs High at the
Meeting.

Last night at the First Methodist
Protestant church enthusiasm ran
high and the resui. was one of the
most helpful services yet held in this
church. The hall was we'll filled, ano
under the leadership OF Mr.. Ackley the
choir and congregation sang the new
pieces which have been taken up dur
ing this series of meetings until somc
of the choruses were repeated several
times at the request of Dr. Queen.
The solo by Mr.. Ackley. Somebody :
was driven home to the hearts of th-
hearers when DR.. Queen in his char,
acteristic way declared that the worlo
was hungering for the sunshine and
song of the pure life of the Christians,
and that the somebody to bring that
message is you"
DR.. Queen took for his thought. the
beauty of the Christ life. and emphat-
ically proclaimed that we We're not
worshipping a dead Christ. but that
strange as it might sound to many
hearts, Christ was living TODAY. ano
that He actually lives in the individual.
DR. Queen then proceeded in convinc-
ing manner to prove that the Christ
is not found by any intellectual search,
but that He is self-revealed. illustrat-
ing each point with an incident from
the Word of God. The result of the
discourse was real awakening in the
hearts of the people that the conditions
around us are to be moulded by the
power of the Christ life which is to
have influence on the word as He
lives in power in us.

elected by the vote cast by the pris-
cners, who showed their choice with
the beans and would have been glad
to have been iree ana able to vote at
