ed to prepare an industrial district
for the coming of manufacturers.
Only the groundwork is being sketch
ed here. Much of the detail Is not
given out by either the Mississippi
River Power company or the Keokuk
Industrial Association
The Gate City knows, however,
that there Is In existence big blue
prints with lines marking streets, al
leys, trolley lines, railroad tracks, a
passenger station, a water works
pumping plant and standpipe suffi-
cient to supply considerable city
with water through mains, big rail-
road yards and everything that one
can think Of in a city except school
houses which of course will be up
to the board of education.
But The Gate City representative
was not allowed to describe the map
in detail on the ground that changes
in detail are probable. A glance
showed, however, that on the blue
print one long street was labelled
Commerce avenue, short street,
Highland avenue, and another halt
mile away was marked Buena Vista
Place. But all such things may be
changed and the names were said to
be merely tentative.

The best thing after all Is that the

portunity for actually unlimited ex-
tension for the next century.
| In Iowa the same general level OF
the railroads and the new factories is
maintained up the Des Moines valley,
finally sloping up to the upper level
of the Iowa rolling prairie plateau and
extending to Sioux City, Dubuque and
Page county.
But there is no valid reason for
.confining it to the more or less arti-
fetal boundary of the state. On the
right bank of the Des Moines river
| the manufacturing city may extend
all over northern Missouri.

No Attempt to Gobble Up.
In entire harmony with the actions
of the water-power people ever since
Mr.. Cooper first reached Keokuk
4 years ago there has been not the
least attempt to make any real estate
scheme out of this new industrial
addition to Keokuk, nor to gobble vi
anything in speculative spirit-the
only object has been to obtain suit
able locations and facilities for fac
tories to use the tremendous power
from the Keokuk dam and unparallel

river here.

The Biggest Thing Ever.

Even the facts in this article we're
drawn out Of the seeming reluctance
of the water-power people to talk
about 1t all. Perhaps they are too
busy working to talk much. But prac-
tically all questions asked are an
swered with their usual frankness-
the exception being how the new
town site company is to be organized
and such details which it is said are
being worked out carefully.
But enough is told here to give a
realization that this new Industrial
district is the biggest thing that ever
happened to Iowa industrialism, and
the biggest thing that can come to
Keokuk, always excepting the great
est water-power in the world here at
Keokuk.
Finally, and most important, the
prices paid enable the factory sites
to be sold dirt cheap to all manufac
turers locating in the model manufac
turing addition to Keokuk.

FARM SALE ADVERTISING
Money Invested In Newspaper Pub
licity Is Sure to Bring Good
Returns.

Not more than one-third of the
rural public sales are properly adver-
tised Did you ever calculate the
amount of money lost every year by
the owners failing to carry on an eX-
tensive advertising campaign for
their sales? A few dollars more
spent for newspaper space would give
large returns.
The average publicity effort made
by the average man eager to sell out
is weak He has few sale bills
printed, and he runs the same copy in
the local paper. That ends the cam
paign. That is poor management.
The more extended the publicity the
larger will be the crowd-and the
prices usually vary with the size of
the crowd. A farmer, especially a
live stock man, would drive 20 miles
to attend sale where stock that he
needed was to be sold. Hence it is
obvious that extended newspaper ad-
vertising is important. Never spend
less than $40 in newspaper space, and
If the sale is large one it will pay
to spend larger amount.
If you are a specialist, and handle
some special line, such as fine hogs
or cattle, newspaper advertising is alb
solutely necessary to success. And
don't make the mistake of advertising
only when you have something for
sale. If you handle Duroc-Je rsey
hogs, and have no hogs for sale now
but will have in the spring, put a
card in your paper and tell the people
about it. Ii you don't. they will look
up the hog breeders in the classified
columns of their farm paper and send
off to the man in the other end of the
state who believes in publicity If
you have something to sell, don't let
the people forget. 1t won't pay.
Newspaper advertising, when fig
ured on the basis of the number OF
persons you can reach and the results
you can get, is cheap Money spent
in this line will bring greater results
than any other form of advertising

Extremely Important Operation When
Satisfactory Fit of Garment
Is Considered.

If a dress be well cut you will have
gether.
When you are cutting out a skirt
always allow plenty of turnings around
the waist and hips.
Remember that if your hips are
large in proportion to your waist it is
best to get a pattern a couple of
inches larger than the waist rather
than one that just fits.
1t is easy then to take the goods
in at the waist if the pattern is too
large at this place.
When you are cutting a striped
skirt remember that even though you
may be told on the pattern to place
one side to a selyedge, it is advisable
to use rather your own common sense
and, as a rule at least, to cut each
side slightly on the bias.
If this is done the joining place is
not nearly so noticeable as if one side
is on the bias and the other on the
straight
Before cutting out sleeves always
double your material and cut the two
together.
Then you are bound to cut them
right and they will match properly.
If the material be striped see that
the stripes come directly over one
another.
Pin the material to make sure, as
nothing looks worse than two sleeves,
| the stripes in one Of which do not
| match those in the other.

THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF QUAKER ~
REMEDIES STILL CONTINUES

The Lord says, 47th Chapter Eze-
kiel, 18th verse: And by the river
upon the banks thereof, on this side
and Oh that side, shall grow all trees
for meat, whose leaf shall not fade,
neither shall the fruit thereof be con-
sumed; it shall bring forth new fruits
according to its months, because
the waters they issued out of the sane
t, airy; and the fruit thereof shall be
for meat, and the leaf thereof for
medicine"
Wherever you find a successful
remedy, says Cannon, you will always
find some one trying to profit by
initiating it. So in ordering be sure
and insist on Quaker Herb Remedies.
Here is the case of Mr.. S. NJ. MEGA

ision and Curd streets, Macon and IS

When asked last night the reason
the Quaker Herb Remedies are being
SO generally used throughout the en-
tire country, Cannon said 1T seems
as though the general public are
gradually discarding the mineral and
chemical poisOns they have been us

their forefathers did to the vegetable
kingdom. Quaker Herb Extract is
purely a vegetable remedy, careful
ly prepared from a proper combine
ton of the Herbs, Roots, Banks, Gums,
Leaves and Blossoms, that have been
used with such wonderful success in
the families of the Friends or Quak-
ers. The selection has been made OF
those herbs, etc, that cleanse and

explained in the following verse the
reason why the slogan often proves a

He had this pint about him:
He'd swear with a hundred signs and
groans,
That farmers must stop getting loans
And git along without 'em.
That bankers, warehOusemen and SIGH
Was fatt'nen on the planter,
And Tennessy was rotten rich
A 'rasin' meat and corn, all which
DTawd money to Atlanta;
And the only thing says jones' to do
Is 10 eat no meat that's boughten;
But tear up every |. o. T.,
And plant oil corn and swear for true
To quit a-rasin' cotton!
Thus spouted Jones when folks could
hear
At courts and other gatherings,
And thus KEEP spoutin' many a year,
Proclaimin loudly far and near,
Such fiddlesticks and blatherin's.
But, one ALFRED sweatin' day,
1t happened | was moein'
My lower corntield, which it lay
Longside the road that runs my way
Whar | can see what's goin'
And after twelve o'clock had come
I felt a kinder faggin'
And laid myself un'neath a plum
To let my dinner settle sum
When long comes Jones Vaughn.
And Jones was settin' in it SO!
A'readin of a paper,
His mules was goin' powerful slow
Fur he had tied the reins onto
The staple of the scraper
The mules they stopped about a rod
From me, and went to feedin'
Longside the road, upon a sod
But Jones (Which he had tuck tod

And presently says he: Hit true;
That CIisby's head is level,
Thar's one thing farmers all must do
To keep themselves from going tew
Bankruptcy and the devil!

less ground,
And mustn't eat what's boughten!

WHY NOT INSPECT THE PRIVATE
SCHOOLS!


Should the state inspect private
schools, seetahat the statements made
in their advertising matter as -
equipment, health, curriculum, etc,
are borne out by the facts, and in this
way act as the protector of the public
from educational impositions and
frauds?
In this day when there is so much
pretence in educational institutions,
when a little cross roads academy
dubs itself a college, and all too fire.
quently pretends to be that which it is
not. there is some grounds for the
claim that it is the province and duty
of the state to see to it that private
institutions that appeal to the public
for support be brought under sys-
tenn of inspection and compelled 20
bring their claims down within reas-
enable distance of the actual condl-
tions that exist
This is the view that is expressed
by the state inspector of high schools
in South Carolina, Prof, Hand. In
his annual report to the legislature he
points this out as one of the defects in
the educational system of the state
that needs remedying If the public
is to be protected against bogus in
surance companies and bogus schemes
generally why not protect it against
evils, in the shape of educational in
stitutions. The point seems to be well
taken. Says the inspector in discuss
in it:
The state at present charters an
institution of learning to do business
on the endorsement of the state, then
leaves the institution to deal with the
people as it sees fit, without any eff
fort whatever to protect its citizens
against the most fragrant fraud in the
sacred name of education.
Honest citizens" says Mr., Hand,
anxious to educate their children,
but not experts in the field of educa-
ton, pay their taxes or their tuition
fees to institutions doing business on
the cvredit of the state, yet the state
gives absolutely no protection to its
citizens. No one can with authority
pass upon the merits of the work done
in any of these institutions. Until
the state inspects and classifies the
education given or sold to its citizens
with as much care as it inspects the
meat or milk given or sold its citi-
zens, it is not doing it's duty Ben
zoate of soda in education should be
branded with as much emphasis as in
tomato sauce. Whenever an institu-
ton offers it's wares to the public the
state should label the wares. No in.
stitution doing legitimate work couli
offer the least objection to such {
course. The real colleges would well
come with delight any such measure.
