Primarily the most important thing
is to have available sites for factories
and for homes at fair prices substan-
tial growth will depend not alone on
the factories coming here but upon
their success after they arrive.
Keokuk will have cheap power to
offer. She will have all the natural adj
vantages of other cities of her class,
but strong influence on the prospec-
tive manufacturer will be the social
advantages. Success Is impossible
without contentment. Contentment de-
ponds much on living conditions of
employer and employee, The manufac-
turer realizing this, will in looking for
location, be greatly influenced by
the development Of a city to afford a
pleasant home for his family and his
employees.
Men make money nowadays to
spend 1t. They want to be where they
can make money and where they can
also spend it to some advantage.
The employees will want place to
build their homes-where they can
buy a lot at reasonable price and
have plenty of fresh air. Where they
can have the advantages of the city
| for their families. They want to get
away from the tenements of the big
city, but in order to build they must
| be able to buy location at price
| within their means. When the en-
| ployes of these new factories begin to
own their own homes, they become
substantial citizens.
The manufacturer in turn will seek
a comparatively favorable location
for his home Good streets and roads
and clubs and similar advantages.
These things will all be considera-
Il ton in the choice of a location and
i Keokuk can have as much or more
to offer in this line than the average
city.
/ Now is the time to prepare for the
future. This should not be period OF
economy but rather one of progress
with faith in the future great changes
and improvements should commence
at once The debt that the city owes
now will be small matter In few
years If Keokuk grows as we expect
it to. A lack Of faith on the part OF
the city now inspires SIMILAR lack
of faith in the mind of the investor.
| Let us not think only of the com
mercial advantages which We have tc
offer to the prospective factory but
the other advantages of good place
to live, both for employer and EN-
ploye.

clean streets and alleys, good adjacent
roads, well cared for parks. Enconr

A Skin Tightener
To Reduce Wrinkles
(From Popular Medicine.)

Vt I'LL IOpuinI VuCu1ClAC.J
In beauty culture, as in the treat
ment of disease, the tendency now
adays is to seek the removal Of causes,
rather than to treat symptoms or eft.
fects In this matter of wrinkles, for
instance, we know that the lines or
burrows are caused by the skin be-
coming loose in places, SO 1t does not
perfectly fit the flesh beneath. The
skin then wrinkles" or says. Ma
turally the proper thing to do is to
tighten the skin-make it fit-then
there's no room for lines, wrinkles
and folds, and no surplus skin to sag
or bag.
The best known formula for the
purpose is: Saxolite; / o., in " pint
witch hazel. Use wash lotion
The effect is truly remarkable, espec,
tally as results are immediate. ASK
the druggist for the powdered saxolite
which dissolves more quickly than any
other form.

ABOUT KEOKUK

The World Today Magazine for
October contains one of a series of
articles entitled 1.-THE Awakening of
the Cities which might profitably
be read by those interested in the fu-
ture of Keokuk.
Some surprise has been expressed
at the slight increase in population Of
some cities which are generally re-
garded as prosperous and progressive
and this article points out the cause
of failure in several noticeable in
stances.
For instance Buffalo, N. Y, ia well
situated, has good shipping facilities
and cheap power from Niagara Falls
and yet In the last ten years has
grown only slightly compared with
other cities of the same class.
The principal cause Of this city's
slow growth is one which might be
an example to Keokuk. They went
factory crazy. They thought only of
getting factories and put everything
on commercial basis. Buffalo was
destined to be one of, the most beauti
| full home cities in the United States
Plans have been adopted for park
systems and boulevards and every
precaution was taken to avoid conges
| ton In the residence section Their
suddenly all this was forgotten. The
entire lake front was given up to fac
tories and railroad yards. All the plan:
for beautifying the city and making
1t a good place to live were forgotten
It soon was regarded as one Of the
uaiiest cities.

The work of constructing the new

The frame OF the main building,
which is three stories high, is com
pleted and the finishing touches TO
the interior are now being made.
Since the building has been enclosed,
the larger parts of machinery have
been placed and the engine has been
placed on it's foundation. The huge fly
wheel which is in two parts, has not
yet been set but will be some time
SOON.
Getting Machinery in Order.
The mechanical equipment for the
new mill was purchased at a reason
able price from the VIII Joyce Lum-

Something About MIilwright.
Joseph H. Hayner, the man under
whose supervision the mill Of the
Taber Lumber Co., is now being built,
is supervising the construction OF
the fifth band mill for the Tabers.
Coming here from Clinton, Iowa, in
1852, Mr.. Hayner was employed by the
Taber Company for nine years, he
then went to st. Louis to work for
the c. F. Libkie Saw Mill Co., the
mill being built by Mr. Hayner.
Later, Joseph Hayner was employ
ed by the Knapp Stout Co., of Leep-
or. Mo-, and from there went to Du-
bach, La, as assistant manager OF the
Fred Dubach Lumber Co. At Ire
mont, La, Mr.. Hayner was general
superintendent of the fremont Lum-
Der Co., and from there was trans
ferred to another plant at Dodson, La.
which mill was later dismantled. Mr..
Eayner was manager of the g. s.
Baxter & Co.'S mill at Fargo, Ga,
and from there went as superinten-
dent OF the Miller-Viedor Lumber Co.,
at Milyid, Tex. Later he returned to
Georgia with the Baxter Co., but the
