Sunday night when the moon
shone forth in all her glory, the arc
lights on the street corners, looked
I like scared candles or We olden pine
knots in the bright light of the lunar
planet which sned its beams over fair
/ Keokuk. Monday night when outside
was inky black and the arc lamps were
needed, they were off for some reason
or other. These public utilities seem
much better and in their place wher
needed and not when natural re
| sources are giving ample service.
