Il got there.
As promised by the weather bu-
reau, the mercury dropped down to
10 below zero during the night and
that was the mark, according to the
official records. It was the coolest
night of the winter and if the new
year of 1911 is trying to show what
II can do so early, Keokuk will lose
half her people, for they will all be
moving south if there are any more
drops like the one since Sunday.
Sunday was tropical day at 46.
BY Monday morning the mercury had
fallen to and last night 1t sank
away again and fell to 10 below, a
drop Of sc degrees.
About the only consolation that
Kecknk's shivcring citizens have, is
that the same cold weather prevails
all over the country and that the east
will get it tonight while we begin 10

severe cold. People who enjoy all
tue comforts, are cold today and
there are those who really have not
enough fuel. Water pipes are frozen
up in about half the houses OF the
city and the plumbers are busy.
Nothing has been heard from the
man who predicted mild winter, but
+ searchers are out looking for him and
expect TO find his frozen body before
night. 1t is rumored, however, that
he Rugged the base burner all night

This morning at o'clock the mer-
curry stood al. below, and gradually
mounted little as the sun got in its
work.
Tonight will likely be not quite as
cold and perhaps this was Keokuk's
coolest day of the winter. Surely no
one can give any good excuse for any
colder weather this winter, but with
all OF January and February yet to
heat. from, it looks rather discourag-
ing for the golf players for a few
more days yet.

ready. The cannonss are made of
spools, whose faring ends have been
cut of, or Of pieces of bamboo, which
will give a chance for larger muzzles.
Fasten a piece Of elastic on the spool,
laying each end of the elastic one one
side of the SPOOL and winding it Sc
curely with sewing silk.
Lay the spool on the block that has
been slightly followed out for it, and
wind it with stout slender cord. Make
plunger to fit the hole in the spool,
the round part being just the same
length. Leave square block sat the
end to stop the plunger when shoot

end and the cannon is ready. Use
dried peas for ammunition.
Now all Is ready for the game,
which is played by two. Divide the
soldiers, and have a cannon for each
side. Stand the soldiers up, and let
each side take turns shooting. After
a certain number of rounds have been
shot off, the one having most men
standing is victorious.

AMUSING GAME OF SOLDIERS
Few Peanuts, Some ToothpIcks, Bit Of

Two peanuts, some wooden tootn'

bit, OF cork will make a fine soldier.
Stick one peanut on the other by III
sertinga piece Of toothpick In them
both. The upper one is placed W1tn
the smaller end down, the end that
has a little curving point on one SIDE.
This is made into a chin by drawing
whiskers over it with a pen. Above
the whiskers put mustached mouth,
a nose and eyes, and blacken the rest
with ink or paint for a tall hat.
Put ink buttons down the lower
peanut, also belt, then fasten arms
on the sides, one holding gun whit
tied from a piece Of match.
Legs of wood are stuck in this body,
holes being made first with pen
knife point, and the ends, well sharp
ened, are run into slice of cork cut
from a cork about an inch or more IN
diameter. The soldier must be balanced,
so he will stand up, though being very
light he will fall down easily and
add to the fun of the game. Another

Permanent Organization.

The experience through which the
Farmers Union has passed and Its
ability to maintain its position
through the various conflicts through
which it has passed, is conclusive evil

It has been predicted, since Newt

that the Farmers Union would not
live more than one more year.
Some members Of the organization
have been caused to grow cold. in

Of this prediction.

years old-to the chagrin and dis
appointment of the false prophets,
whose predictions have failed to ma,
terialize.
The accomplishments Of the Farm
ers' Union of the last year added to
It's stability, and made more perma.
nent its foundation.
Some of the things we started out
to secure have been realized. Hence
there Is no more fighting along that
line; but there are other things to be
accomplished, and SO long as the
Farmers Union keeps pace with the
needs Of the masses. Just that long
Twill its continuance be secured.
