business houses going up actively
everywhere.
1t was long time to wait. this half
century, for a dream to come true
but the realization is appreciated all
the more because OF this very fact.
When the story of the dream and its
fulfillment comes to be written in Its
entirety, the major part Of credit fol
the making practical of the ideal will
belong to the progressive, far-seeing
business men who, five years ago
formed the Keokuk Commercial clut
and battled AGAINST almost insur
mountable obstacles until they won
out. put Keokuk on the map and
startled the country with the an
nouncement of the biggest water pow
er project of the world and the larg-
est public enterprise on American
soil, with the single exception of the
Panama canal.
The keol1uli Commercial club has
been on the job ever since it was
organized on January %, 1906, but 1t
was not until a year ago that it won
the immense victory with the water
power project and began to find its
dream realized The club comprises
$50 business men OF Keokuk, all of
them hustling, enterprising, far-seeing,
with faith in the future which the
events Of the immediate present seem
to Justify. They may not all have
known of the dream which was on the
old curtain of the once famous Athen-
cum, but they have all dreamed
dreams of a Greater Keokuk and done
all in their power to make this dream
come true.
The credit for managing the keo-
kuk Commercial club and putting keo-
kuk on the industrial map belongs TO
the twelve astute and devoted bust
ness men VINO have managed the af-
fairs OF the Commercial club since it
came into existence five years ago.

A CERTAIN CURE

blood, such treatment cannot possibly

Irritating germs and at the same time
builds up the system by its fine tonic
effects. When S. SIS has purified
the blood, the mucous surfaces are all

can be no Inflammation of the mem-

The opening of the Panama canal will

Cuba. The island lies directly. across
from the Atlantic entrance to the canal
and contains six magnificent harbors

There was no letup for rne tired regu-

furious pace through thirty minutes of
preliminary work. fifty minutes of fierce
scrimmage. and then half hour Of rapid
signal practice. When the practice finally
closed the Cornhuskers had put in the
longest and hardest practice since the in

Nor was there any glory in the Tues

versatile Owen Frank, his brother Ernie
and the sensational Jerry Warner.
These three men were the only players

pervaded the Cornhusker camp as time
