BIG INCREASE IN
RECORDING OF DEEDS
The New Era in keokuk Produces
Several Times as Much Work as
Formerly for the County
Recorder.

Recorder Ed. Vaughan is now copy
ing two and a quarter times as many
papers as he did three years ago.
there has been such an increase in the
documents filed for record at Keokuk
During the few weeks since New
Years. he has recorded half as many
papers as he did during the entire
year of 1908. Moreover, it is several
times as much work to record pres
ent-day instrument, since the water
power companys papers are none of
them in harmony with the printed
forms used in the olden days. Ordi-
nary deeds and mortgages are all of
one form, mostly, and the recorder has
a book printed with these same forms,
SO that only the pen and ink part has
to be written in. But the water pow
err deeds and options all have to be
copied word for word in ink in the
books since they are in all sorts of
forms. This increases the work many
times. 1t is safe to say that the re-
corder here is doing five times as
much work as he did four years ago
The number of instruments of all
kinds filed for record in 1908. was
S66; the number in 1909, was 1,235;
and during 1910 there were 1866 in
struments filed for record, most of
them the kind that takes the most
work in the Office.
And the recorder is getting the
same salary that he received three or
four years ago.

DR.. w. A. JONES
OF CANTRIL.
Well Known Physician Celebrated His
Seventy-First Birthday
Anniversary.

CANTRII. Iowa, March 17.-Only
once in life time does one have that
rare experience of attaining the years
Of three score and ten.
DR.. w. A. Jones, of Cantril, has not
only reached that age but one year
better, having celebrated the seventy
first year of his sojourn here on Tues
day of the week past.
For man of his years he is re-
markedly we'll preserved.
That the doctor has imbibed freely
of the fountain OF everlasting youth
is evidenced in the fact that he still
carries the proud bearing and has
the elastic step of former days Fur
Their, it is apparent he does not look
through the smoked glasses of ad-
verse experiences, but rather through
the transparent lens of keen insight
which appreciates the humor of life
as well as its pathos, it's pleasures as
well as it's difficulties, the overwhelm.
ing delight Of being able to live as
we'll as being permitted to die.
But this latter is probably no part
Of his plans just now. Like unto a
remark OF the late Mark Twain he
can very fell say, 81 am very much
alive
The doctor celebrated his birthday
quietly with his daughters, Mrs. Myr-
tie Blanchard and Miss Carrie Jones
and the good wife, and also the sons,
7. /. and Neal Jones of Des Moines,
who were absent in the flesh but
gave evidence of their telepathic pres
ence in the messages they sent.
No two days are quite alike and
birthday can hardly be repeated-yet
there are exceptions.
On Saturday evening, in response to
an invitation from Miss Carrie Jones,
number of the friends and neigh
bors assembled and in a body repair
ed to their home where the unsuspect-
ing object of it all was resting quietly
after a busy day.
A knock at the door brought a Wis
ion Of some citizen in woe, of some
native having trouble or hunting such,
and the man who serves as mayor as
we'll as councillor to those distressed
FASTENED to attend the summons,
when. beholda whole army of clients
appeared. made it known they had

/ cal Christian church. was present and

ment and good-fellowship reigned SUI

served and interspersed were numer-
GUS toasts.

ing very beautifully the hope OF all
present that the recipient might en-
10Y the same for many long years.

SUGGESTION FOR
LOCAL APPLICATION
unionvile Republican Makes Some
Timely Remarks That Fit A.
most Every Community.

Thhe following timely suggestions
are taken from the Unionville Repub-
lican and largely applicable to Keo-
kuk as well as II other towns and we
hope our citizens will get the clean
up spirit and put new dress on the
old town.
Spring is almost here A few
more charges by old King Boreas
may be expected but he is growing
old and their force will soon be spent
Spring in all her loneliness is rapidly
edging her way northward and some
of her smiles have already gladden.
ed our hearts. Dame nature has
provided season when she can
wash and clean herself and that is
in the spring time. Copious rains
fall and give the old earth good
drenching. This is sufficient in the
country to clean away winters ae-
emulation of filth but in towns
where people live much closer to-
gether this is insufficient and artific.
ial means must be resorted to.
Piles of rubbish lie around almost
everywhere and filth is scattered
promiscously. These are the breed
ing places of disease germs. and pub
lie health demands that they be des-
! troyed. This cannot safely be en-
/ trusted to the individual property
owners for some will neglect it while
others will forget it and yet others
will do all in their power to keep UP
their end of it. The only really
safe plan that suggests itself at pres
4 ent is to have a general cleanup"
day This is very much in vogue
/ in many towns and is proving very
/ popular and effective. Say, set a
day some time during the later
part of this month and let the en-
thusiasm be worked up to such a
pitch that every man and boy, and
a lot of ladies too, will be found out
side all day with shovels, hoes rakes
wheel barrows, and anything that
/ can be used advantageously. One
day OF such work would do wonders
and start this town a long way to-
ward the city beautiful. Two of the
most valuable assets a city can
have are good looking buildings and
clean streets. A stranger upon en-
tering town notices those two
conditions first and upon this
depends his impression of it,, Mud
4 dy or dirty streets create a bad i'm
/ preston of the town to say nothing
of the inconvenience to the residents.
1 Dirty streets and alleys are rnlenaces
to public health. The city park cat
be cleaned up too The time is al
most here when good cleaning
and gentle raking will do more to
start the grass there than anything
else.
Lets get busy and begin to make
preparation to remove these eye
sores and hot beds of disease. We
are not Indifferent or shiftless in
these matters and will take effective
measures soon, We feel sure. This
would be a good thing for some or
all Of the ladies' clubs and the Com
mercial club to take UP. The time
to begin is now"
