is saturday-captain King is
Confident Of Vic
tories.

The Keokuk high school basket ball
team departs this afternoon at 4:S0
o'clock on the Wabash for Jackson
vile. H., to play the first game OF
the three-dayss "trip.

school basket ball men. They are
captain G. King; center; Merriam,
Devero and Walker, forwards; Par
sons and Duncan, guards. Fulton will
come to Quincy on Saturday and will
likely take part in the final game OF
the series.
The high school team has had
fairly successful season thus far this
4 year, having won majority OF the
games. The last game played was
with Quincy, when that team conquer
ed the local quintet on Keokuk's floor.
The game was a poor exhibition as
far as the Keokhl1 players were con-
cerned, local men playing miserably.
For this reason it is believed that
Quincy can be conquered on the trip.
and Hannibal and Jacksonville will
likely fall easy prey to the purple and

The Iris is Rescued.

Since the ice has been moving out
of the river the stage of water has
been rapidly falling. One of the re.
suits Of this was that the steamer Iris,
which. since the river first showed
signs of becoming covered with ice
this season, has been moored at the
foot of Broadway, YVES left high and
dry on the bank. Her cosdition there
being dangerous, Clat Adams and the
other owners secured workmen, who
used hydraulic "jacks" and succeeded
in floating the steamer. When she
was gotten into deep water she was
! Immediately taken in tow and carried
to the draw west Of the bay bridge,
where she will remain the rest OF the
winter.

Don't Crowd Your Guests.

Entertaining when houses are small
is a problem that confronts many
hostess. Nor does she always solve 1t
with the happiest results.
Some girls. because they cannot en-
tertain all their friends, never enter
tain at all. They take all the hospital
itics they can get, making excuses Oh
cTamped quarters for doing nothing IN
return.
Others pay off their debts, but care
nothing for the manner of payment
They crowd their tiny, house until the
walls fairly bulge, and the tempers
and clothes of their friends are alike
ruined. Nobody has good time, but
the hostess does not bother herself
about that.
Still others make the fatal mistake
of dividing their receiving hours The!
invite all their guests for one day, bu
at different times. This is sure t.
breed trouble. Not only does it seen
to push one set of guests out tina
/ the rest may be accommodated, but !
is sure to create heartburning, espe
cially if the line be drawn on age
or sets.
i The only wise course is to give sey
eral small affairs and thus get aroun
4 your friends by degrees. Never invit
more than your house will hold con
fortably. if you wish to be thought

however, to include in your list fo

Today there is a decided demand for

price of such property has been con-
tinualIy and consistently advancing,
even during the otherwise depressed
market that has existed during the last

Another feature that has operated to
the Advantage of this entire district Is
the well paved condition Of Lake street
from First avenue out to Twenty-sev-
