leases or uses its grounds and build
ings for pecuniary profit, cannot be

TRADE AT HOME.

A brief, clear-eut argument for
home trade which appeared original
" in southern paper applies Is well
10 Keokuk as TO the community 10
which il was first addressed II should
be considered particularly by Keokuk
worhngmen, for every dollar they send
out OF town goes to the support of
workers in other communities when it
is needed for the support OF workers
in this community. Increased pat
ronage by local people means addition
al men on the payroll OF our factories
and stores. Here is the declaration of
intention, and it should sink deep in
TO the consciousness OF every citizen
OF Keokuk:
Why do buy in Keokuk7
Because my interests are here.
Because the community that is good
enough to live in is good enough to
buy in.
Because I believe in transacting
business with my friends.
Because l want to see the goods.
Because l want to get what I buy
when I pay for It.
Because my home dealer carries
me when am short
Because every dollar spend at
home stays at home and works for
the welfare of Keokuk
Because the man buy from stands
back of the goods.
Because | sell what I produce here
at home.
Because the man I buy from pays
his part of the local taxes.
Because the man buy from helps
support my school, my church, my
lodge, my home.
Here live and here buy.

We're coming back TO Iowa

We've travelled far and back again,

And chased thousand shadows for
The thing we never got
We're coming back to Iowa,
4 hundred thousand men,
With all our wives and little ones,
We're coming back again.
We wish We hadn't left the state,
Indeed We DO. you bet
And long we cussed the booster men.
And some are cussing yet
Were coming back to Iowa,
With ali the girls and boys;
We're tired Of old Nebraska,
And we're tired of Illinois.
We've tried it up in Canada,
And on the western coast,
Where boosters got the money that
The honest farmer lost,
We're tired OF all the boosting men,
And braggarts that we've heard,
You'll read their advertisements,
But you can't believe a word.
The land they sell for nothing most,
With photographs thrown in,
Is In some far-off desert plara
And isn't worth a pin.
We've tried It down In Texas too,
But when the boosting's done,
The thing they've got to sell the mos.
Is only sand and sun.
Oh, yes. Missouri's good enough,
And Kansas. too. they say,
But then they never saw farm
In dear old Iowa.
We're coming back to Iowa.

He couldn't sell, he hurried so
To get where it was warm,

And here's the tune we'll set,
