Keokuk an
Her uture

&
The public meeting called
by Mayor Elder, held last
Thursday evening at tn e
Grand opera house, was an un-
qualified success.
It meant something.
The law of evolution is at
work in Keokuk. Her citizens
must recognize and realize the
coming developments. I w o
qualifications are necessary to
meet the future needs of the
city-wisdom and industry.
It's very important to plan
your work. It is more impor-
tant to work your plan. It does
not take a precocious mind to
diagnose the statements made
in Mr.. Cooper's address on
Thursday evening. Not that
they were simple. They were
wonderfully plain and sensible
and powerful. They were SO
plain they could not be mis-
understood.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-01-15
They meant something.

They mean that the Keokuk
and Hamilton Water Power
Company is in the business of
producing electricity. They al
SO mean that the company
does not only intend to sell the
developed power but MUST
sell it-preferably to Keokuk
and neighboring cities. But it
must and will be sold.

ZANZIBAR PARROT is
A PR0FANE LINGUlST
BIRD SWORE LOUDLY IN ARABIC
BUT OWNER DECLINED TO
WIRING HIS NECK.

New York.-Ali Ben Ding, a Zanzi-
bar parrot, skilled beyond belief in
the shrill articulation of Turkish,
Arabian. Moorish, French, German
and Spanish profanity. was respon,
sible for the arraignment in the
Tombs police court of his owner, Sc
lin Hamad, Byzantine sailor.
Selim Hamad is Q young giant and
he was charged by Arem Sultan, a
slim, narrow chested Arab, who lives
at 81 Washington street, with per-
forming wild Dervish dance on his
chest after endeavoring to carve in
itials in his neck Arem Sultan had
barely survived the ordeal and when
he appeared before Magistrate Krotel

Through tiny interstice in the

ance he told an amazing story of the
profanity of Ali Ben Ding and how
the bird had brought him into unequal
encounter with Selm Hamad
For several days, the Arab said, he
had heard the name of his ancestors
reviled in his native tongue, He knew
there were no Arabs in Washington
street and he could not for the life of
him puzzle out who was cussing him
He searched the house in which be
was living from top to bottom, but
could not locate the voice.
AS he set out for near by restau
rant Sultan was startled by the ex.
clamation:
Dog of an Arab. eat the dust OF
your thievng fathers!"
Sultan stopped short and his blood
caught fire. The honor of the tribe of
Sultan had been traditional on the
desert for centuries. To be called a
dog was the vilest of epithets.
Sultan had halted in front of %
Washington street and he had only to
wait another instant before the same
voice cried out an oath that caused
the young Arab to turn pale and trem-
BILE. This bit of profanity was fol
lowed by the phrase:
The tribe of Sultan is accursed by
the moon, the stars and the dogtish
that swim under the stars
That was enough for the young
Arab He rushed into the doorway
and up the stairs to the rooms occu-
pied by Selim Hamad The profane
voice of All Ben Ding, the parrot,
lured him on.
Sultan knocked at the door Selim
Hamad opened it. blocking the en-
trance with his giant bulk
Greatly enraged, Sultan demanded
of Selim Hamad that he slsy the vile
bird before his eyes.
He is bewitched of thousand dev-
lis Sultan said Kill him at once 3"
"Pouff. little one!" replied Selim
Hamad in fluent Arabic. "Ali Ben
Ding is wise bird and knows a dog
OF an Arab when he sees one"
This was too much for the little
Arab, and he hurled himself upon the
huge sailor. with the results already

A Good Result

Under the operation of the new
Pure Focd Laws, baking powd-
ers now generally bear on the
labels a statement Of the ingre
dlents. This is of utmost i'm
portance because of the harmful
ingredients used in many cases.
DR., Prices Baking Powder is
known to be made of pure Grape
Cream OF Tartar, and this no
no doubt explains its greatly
increased sale here.
Careful housekeepers arc tax
ing advantage OF the protection
which the Laws afford, and are
examining all the reading matter
on the back of the label before
adopting any brand tor use in
the home.
When in place of the words
Cream Of Tartar the words
"alum," aluminium" or "phos-
phate of lime" appear among
the ingredients purchasers should
heed the warning and avoid bak-
ing powders containing these
substitutes.
