An Illustration.

To illustrate. The day" rate on
ten words to New York is SO cents,
and cents for each additional word
The cost of special night letter"
of so words will be SO cents.
To send SO words day message"
to New York would cost so cents for
the first ten words and cents for
each additional word, or $1.20, max
ing the entire so words cost $1.70
This makes a saving over the day
message of $1.20 for so words.
To send a might message" of 80
words under the present rate would
cost 40 cents for the first ten words
and 8 cents word for each addi-
tional word or 40 words at cents,
costing s1.20, to which must be add.
ed the 40 cents for the first ten words,
making a total Of $1.60 The new
rate is therefore saving over the
old might message" of s110 on 50
words
If it is desired to send additional
words to the 80 words letter, the cost
will be one-fifth o. the standard day
rate for each additional ten word-. In
case you are telegraphing New York
it would be 10 cents or one-fifth OF
so or ! cent for each word

Farmers and Automobiles.

Sioux City Journal: James J. Hill
has found out that for the present
year 100000 automobiles have been or
dered for the people of the United
States. He is quite accurate in his
figuring that at an average of 1000
an automobile the cost will run up to
S40O,000,000. He may not be entirely
correct when he adds that not one
cent of this $400,000,000 will go to pro-
duce one single bushel of grain 1t
is not improbable that the farmers will
find the automobile serviceable in
their work of supervision and that
thereby they may secure better and
larger crops In the field Of saving
the outlook is broader, and penny
saved is a penny earned A part of
the saving may be in railroad fare.
There may be further saving as re-
suit of checking the vacation habit,
for the automobile is reputed to be a
home attraction. Incidentally, howev-
err, it may be confessed that possibly
the automobile has something to do
with the increased cost of living.

keokuk Motor Boat Club and Launch

For Arc Lamp, These
TWO Years.
MEETING THIS WEEK
Motor Boat Club Will Have Meeting
This Week and Are Wonder
ing What Commissioners
Will Do.
MEETING THIS WEEK

The motor boat men, and launch
owners of the city, want an arc lamp
placed conveniently in that section of
the river front where the boat houses
are located. For two years the boat
owners have been hammering as we'll
as boosting for a lamp of this kind,
to throw its kindly beams out over
the water at nights while the boating
season is on, and to aid in their reach
ing home in safety on dark evenings
when tho moon isn't up, SO that
landing and housing can be made
without danger, to life or craft.
Some time this week or next if
possible, there will be meeting of
the Keokuk Motor Boat club. At that
time plans for the coming year will
be discussed, and the matter of river
front improvements, which have be-
come chestnut from much converse
ton about them, but are nevertheless
sorely needed, will come in for their
full share of attention at the gath.
ering.
About two years ago, the matter of
placing light and making other need
ed river front improvements, was the
request made by the motor boat club
to the city council. It that time, it
was stated that taxes were already
high enough and the ready cash would
not permit action along that line for
some time.
With the coming of spring, the
owners of this city's pleasure craft, in
! tend to look into the opinions of the
prospective candidates and get their
views on general levee and river front
improvements When the candidates
for commissioners have given express
sion of their views, the motoring
crowd will know better where they
stand and if they will have to be
without lighted river front for an
other summer season.

WHY sALvEs FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the
eczema germs are lodged not in the
outer skin or epidermis, but in the
inner skin. Hence, a penetrating
liquid is required, not an outward
salve that clogs the pores.
We recommend to all eczema
patients the standard prescription Oil
of Wintergreen as compounded in
liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre-
scription. A trial bottle of this D. d.
D. Prescription. at only 20 cents, will
instantly relieve the itch. We have

for years, and know of wonderful
cures from its use. We recommend
it to our patrons.

CANNOT TAKE PRIZES

In order that their amateur stand |
ing may not be impaired on the eve
of what promises to be the most sue
cessful season in amateur baseball in
the city, President N. A. King of the
Commercial league, who is also an Of |
ficer in the A. L. n. A. and has juris-
dictlon over this territory, has issued
a warning TO local bowlers who have
been competing IN the doubles oa the
Olympia this week, in which is en-
bodied the rules of the amateur, as
ISOLATION. He says that accepting
money or prizes of any nature by
those who are registered in the A. A.
U. or A. l.. N. A. will make them pro-
fessionals, for the contest in an open
one in which registered and non-reg-
istered men alike are competing.
Amateur baseball players who expect
to cavort on tie diamond during the
coming season have taken the warn
ing seriously and it is not likely that
any registered man will accept money
OF prize in the event that he should
win
According to the rules of the A. l..
N. A. an athlete has forfeited his
right to compete as an amateur and
has thereby become professional by
(a) Ever having competed in an
open athletic or gymnastic competition;
that is. a competition, the entries to
which are open to all irrespective as
to whether the competitors are anna
tours or professionals, and whether
such competition be for prize or not
(b) Ever having competed for mon
ey in any athletic or gymnastic exer-
else.
(c) Ever having competed under a
false name in any athletic or gym
nastic exercise
(d) Ever having knowingly compel
4 ed with professional for prize, or
with professional where gate mon
/ ey Is charged in any athletic or gym
nastic exercise.
(e) Ever having pursued as a means
of livelihood at athletic or gymnastic
exercise.
(f) Ever having directly or Indirect
i ly sold a prize
(g) Directly or indirectly received
payment for services rendered in any
4 capacity at any professional exhibit
or contest of any athletic OF gymnastic
exercise whatsoever.
4 Local athletes are not altogether
familiar with the amateur rules. How
ever, it may be stated that there is
one condition in which a prize may
be accepted, that being when all men
entered are registered. Such is not
the case in the present bowling tourn-
ament. President King is of the opin
ion that those who have bowled have
not impaired their standing, if they
in case of a victory do not accept
money or prize. 1t is believed that
local amateurs will observe the rules
in this instance, as the stakes will be
small

APPLICATION FOR BERTH

The bee Is buzzing in the bonnet
OF the amateur baseball player and
1t will not be long before his desire
for diamond play can be realized. A
preliminary league meeting was call
ed today by President n. A. King Of
the Commercial league, and will be
held Saturday evening at the Young
Mems Christian association. The lea
que executive took this action at the
instigation of Dr. E. g. Wollenweber

the baseball committee appointed by
the physical work committee of the
association.
While the meeting is an early one
1t is of vital interest and one which
managers have been eagerly await
Ing for some time past 1t will serve
to enable officers to look over the
situation and plan league matters in a
general way Several propositions for
membership will likely be discussed
the foremost being the applications of
Hubinger Bros. and OF the Woodmen.
Both the manufacturing concern and
the lodge are knocking at the leagues
door and in all probability will be adj
United, increasing the number of clubs
to at least eight. 1t Is apparent that
there will be many new faces in anna
tour ball this season and a big league
will likely result From what can
be learned all OF the clubs which were
members last season will renew their
membership. If present plans carry
the same scheme as followed last
year will be in vogue That is 10

park every Saturday and Hubinye
