The Keokuk Bowling Association
season will be off in a whirl this
week. A rousing meeting was held
at the Commercial club Friday even
ing and final arrangements made for
the opening. The league comprises
eight teams and the first matches will
be rolled on Thursday and Friday
evenings.
Leroy ]. Wolf who served as presi-
dent of the league for two seasons
past was elected for third term at
the annual meeting this year, resigned
from the Office, feeling that he could
not give proper time to duties attach
ed to the office. His resignation was
reluctantly accepted. Harry Cook,
who is now actively engaged in the
bowling business, was believed to be
the logical man for the place and his
election was unanimous. Cook takes
more interest in bowling than any
other person in the city and will
make proficient officer. Wolf re-
tains the office of treasurer of the as
sociation.

course, to the money general in cir
culation. The record crops are one
argument against a money shortage
because they mean that the United
States will have a great amount of
food and manufacturing materials to
sell to Europe. Europe in the mean
time will be selling material to
America, but undoubtedly to no extent
will it last. The banks will ship
the gold to the United States mints
or sub-treasuries to be slowed away
IN the vaults and gold certificates
will be issued to represent it. Thus
several more millions of dollars will
come into circulation for business.
This is what fnanciers call the bal
ance Of trade" and in such an in
stance it would be in our favor"
# the reverse we're true, if crops
had been poor and Europe sold the
United States more than it bought
the United States would have to pay
the difference in gold, as it did in
August to the extent of $4,000, 600
and the balance of trade would be
against us.

from all sources. This money vii
all be expended in the purchase of a
site, and in the preparation for the
Exposition, in the construction and
equipment Of a plant in which to
house the greatest Exposition the
world has ever seen. The amend
ment provides that unless New Or
leans shall secure the Exposition, the
tax shall not be collected; but if any
part of the tax shall have been col
Iected prior to the determination Of
the question of location, and if that
determination shall be aVerse to New
Orleans, then the amount SO col
lected, shall be paid back to the
country parishes in proportion to
the amount contributed by each; the
amounts SO refunded to the parishes
to be by them expended for the
building of good roads.
Tt will be seen that the tax upon
property in New Orleans will be pre-
cisely twice as heavy as it is upon
the country parishes up to the point
of four million dollars. After the
tax in city and country has aggre-
gated fonr million dollars It ceases
entirely, in so far as property outside
Of New Orleans is concerned, but is
continued on City property until the
additional two and a half million dol
lars has been realized togethsr with
an amount sufficient to pay the in
terest on the bonds.
The question is now up to the peo-
pie of the State of Louisiana to say
by their votes at the polls, a month
hence whether they want the EXPOSE
ton to be held in New Orleans or in
San Francisco. T%hirty-seven and a
half cents on the thousand dollars as
sessment, less than the price Of a
dozen egg. in December, will pay the
tax. The defeat of the two EXPOSE
ton amendments will relieve the
voter of this tax, but it will give the
Exposition to San Francisco without
a struggle. Do you favor New Or
or San Francisco in this fight?
Give your answer at the polls next

1t should not be necessary to ex.
pend time seeking to induce the PEG
pie Of Louisiana to support the two
amendments, the failure to adopt
which at the polls next month would
close the incident and give the ex.
position to San Francisco. It is OF
course quite natural that states dis
tant from Louisiana, should enter
tain a doubtful attitude towards the
enterprise, but it seems inconceivable
that a voter living in Louisiana
should require arguments to con
vince him of his interest and duty in
this important matter.
There are two amendments to be
voted upon in November. One "a
these amendments was submitted by
the Legislature at its regular SEES
sion last May, it provides for a tax
of t~hree-eights of a mill on the dol
lae on assessment IN the country
parishes, and for six-rights of j mill

Advertising Methods Adopted by an Enter.
pFIsIlq House.

The Shute's Drug Store is fast be-
coming metropolitan in the methods
of advertising used by our merchants
to call the buying public attention to
the many splendid values which they
are offering, also that the wide-aWake
firm Of shnte's Drug Store are keep
ing up with and just a little ahead OF
the times in an advertising respect
is again practically demonstrated by
what is perhaps the most elaborate
system Of advertising ever attempted
by any business house in this section,
namely; the giving away of the beau
tiful Upton Parlor Grand piano
which is now upon exhibition at
their store.
This piano retails at $4,000 each,
guarantee for ten years. The prin-
cipal points of superiority of the
celebrated Upton piano over any
other of this class of instruments lie
in the three strings in unison with
overstrung bass, the ~splendidly
pitched scale and true sounding
board which give the Upton that rich,
deep, even tone so much admired.
In a recent interview with Dir.
T. G. Shute regarding this decided
innovation in advertising, DR.. Shute
stated: we have been enjoying the
patronage and confidence of the buy
ers of this community for some time
now and by always trying to keep
our stocks complete the saying that
You can get it at Shute's, has be-
come a household expression. In
giving away this piano we are ac-
tuated by q double purpose, to show
our appreciation of the patronage of
our friends during the past, also to
encourage new trade and to bring
the many splendid values we are
now showing in all lines to the at
tention Of every buyer in this terri
tory. The plan we are using in Civ
ing away this piano is equitable and
fair to all, simply this, every person
buying one dollars worth of any
thing in our store will receive a
coupon good for 100 votes. The per-
son returning to US the largest num-
Der Of votes will be given the piano
absolutely free Of all cost. No fa-
vors will be shown. Our reputation
for square dealing assures our Gus
toners of that fact"
This four hundred dollar Upton
Parlor Grand piano is surely a pres
ent worth having and we predict a
very merry race" for coupon votes
during the next few months.
Shute's Drug Store are surely to be
congratulated upon their broad
minded methods and Trade Getter'
advertising system.

WASHINGTON PREDICTS
GOOD MONEY and
GOOD CROPS
Banks Throughout United
States Have Made Prepare.
tions By Doing Careful
Business

Washington, Sept. 25,-It is I'M
likely that there will be any short
age of money this fail anywhere in
the United States. This is not to be
construed as a promise to any par
ticular individual, but it is the per.
sonal view Of the Treasury depart
ment whose hand is on the pulse OF
the nations financial and business
life, and represents the opinion OF
officials who constantly watch for
symptoms Of any stringency. In
their opinion the danger mark, if
there actually has been one during
the several months past, has been
left astern, They give these reasons
as predictions of plentiful money.
Primarily the banks saw what look
ed like a money shortage coming sew
eral months ago. They knew they
could expect no help from the United
States Treasury such as they got in
1908, and prepared themselves. They
have piled up gold, built up reserves
and cut down risky loans and bonds
of other securities which MIGHT NOT
be easy to sell, have been turned into
money. New loans have been closely
scrutinized.
By doing all that the banks have
fortified themselves against an emer-
gency. How we'll they did was seen
last week when 100000 was NOV
ed out of New York to other banks
and done very easily, Panics fore
seen never came, inanciers say.
Money is plentiful in England and on
the continent. There il always said
to be a good sign in making 4 pre-
diction for this country.
ALL CROPS REPORTED GOOD

this year is reported to be a bumper

Increase in Shoe Prices.
To The Editor of The Star


see that at the meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Boot and Shoe Man
ufacturers. held In New York the 18th,
ii was announced that prices would be
Increased L. per cent this year, and that
a resolution was adopted to call a con-
vention to readjust prices. The reason
given was the increased cost OF ma
terials. The price here in. Washington
has been increased p per cent by some
dealers, at least. during the past two
years I know lady who. within the
past few weeks, had to pay 81 for a
pair of shoes. the exact duplicate OF
which she bought in the same store two
years ago. for 81, and when she men,
toned that fact the dealer replied Yes.
that is true. but they cost us more now"
Every one supposed when the tariff
was taken off of hides that leather, and
consequently shoes, would be cheaper
but, instead, the price is TO be Increased.
Will some one please explain this re-
markable and unlocked for condition of
affairs? / have seen no statement as
to an increase in the wages of the work
men. The work Is done mostly by ma
chinery, that will do as much now as
two years ago. Why, then, the increase
in price? Ii looks very much as though
1T was due 20 the arbitrary action of
the National Association of the Boot and
Shoe Manufacturers, and, as every body
wears shoes. this is matter that needs
investigation. ". G. DODGE.

FAlVEY TO CARVE STONE
OVER L'ENFANT'S GRAVE
Design to Be Followed Donated by
the Society of Beaux Arts
of America.

NJ. J. Falvey has been awarded the con-
tract of carving the stone to be placed a,
the grave of Maj. LEnfant on the crest
of the hill at Arlington. This marks the
last of the arrangements FOR the l. Enfant
memorial.
The design which Mr.. Falvey will work
into stone was submitted by the Society
of Beaux Arts of America free of cost
out of gratitude to the republic of France
1t was selected after competition, the
award going to ". S. Bosworth of New
York.
At the suggestion of Commissioner Mac
farland the president and secretary of the
American Institute of Architects passed
on the design, and suggested few
changes, which were accepted by Mr.
Bosworth, and the finished design was
finally wrought out.
Bids for the carving were then asked
for, within the $3.50 balance left out OF
the thousand-dollar appropriation made
by Congress for the removal of the re-
mains from the Diggs farm in MARYLAND
to Arlington and the erection of a suit
able monument.
Commissioner Macfarland said yester.
day that he was very glad to have com.
pleted the entire transaction before leav.
