for this more progressive spirit can
be given in part, at least, TO the Ell
forts of the International Association.
keokuk Property Reasonably Priced.
Many persons complain of exorbit-
ant real estate values and rents in
keokuk. In many cases the complaint
is well founded and yet the greater
part of property in Keokuk is reason
ably priced, If one will take the pains
to examine conditions in other cities
and compare them point with point to
the local case. Among the people who
have lived ali their lives in Keokuk.
this point must be considered; since
the boom of the sos, until the dam
was announced as a certainty. real
estate in Keokuk was dead PROPOSE
ton. Why n admit thai in former
years no matter how desirable the
property, an owner couldn't even find
a buyer at anything like reasonable
| figure. II man built a new house
one year and two years later was re-
iquired to sell, he could not realize
better than SO per cent of its cost.
We sometimes hear from visitors
that a property in such and such a
city can be had at price below what
1 is asked in Keokuk for similar one.
In reply to this it must be remember
ed that it costs just as much to erect
a certain building in Keoezuk as in
any other city and that a lot two
/ blocks from the business center in
Keokuk should be worth just as much
as lot in Chicago perhaps a dozen
miles from State street.

The prediction of many persons
that Keolzuls real estate would be
quiet and that lower prices would pre-
vail during 1s1S--seems to have been
proven, in part, at least, up to this
date. Because the people have looked
for such a sh1mp and think now that
a slump is in progress, is the plain and
simple reason why it really does ex-
ist. In other words. it is purely a
mental condition which the people
themselves have brought about. 1t
had to come and perhaps it Is better
for everyone to have 1t come now ana
be over, probably in a shorter Tune
than is generally expected.
This feeling of conservatism is the
reaction. When the dam was actual
ly started, aircastles were construct
ed on the instant; in many cases
real estate values were doubled over
night. a mass meeting at which the
Industrial Association was organized,
fred the enthusiasm. At that meet
ing there were men OF deep thought
and who should know about these
things, who said without reserve that
Keokuk had a wonderful future, that
the city now had advantages which
were not equaled by any other small
city In this whole country. These
men were right and the truth still re
mains, but most of nus neglected TO
realize that the great things would
not come in the month or six months
which followed these stirring
speeches. The result is seen today;
that enthusiasm has worn itself down
in the meantime, and now we have
the reaction.
Laying keokuksn Foundation.
Factories have not come to Keokuk
with rush, because large concerns

La letter to e. L. Aldrich, the local
real estate man, Mr.. Whitcomb says:
You. Mr.. Aldrich, would do mighty
well right now to start campaign

your money at home; make 1t work

work. rather than letting New York
gamblers and sharks use 1t to pull OH
their nasty deals with here.
You should commence to talk to
your banks that 1t is all tommy rot

some of its balances in Keokuk, for

No Sip For Him.

General Carter, who went to Texas
In command of the regulars sent south
for the maneuvers along the Mexican
border, tells this story Of an old Irish
soldier: The march had been long
and tiresome one, and as the bivouac
was being made for the night the cap
tain noticed that Pat was looking very
much fatigued. Thinking that a small
drop of whisky might do him good, the
captain called Pat aside and said, Pat.
will you have wee sip Of whisky"
Pat made no answer. but folded his
arms In a reverential manner and gazed
upward. The captain repeated the
question several times, but no answer
from Pat, who stood silent and motion
less, gazing devoutly into the sky
Finally the captain. taking him by the
shoulder and giving him vigorous
shake. said: Pat. why don't you an

around in considerable astonishment

DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
WORKOUT Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
are greatly to be feared at this time
of the year.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
mia, 1t is important to drive the last
traces Of 1t out of the system quickly.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepare
tion without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, of Strasburg,
Va. says: Grippe left me weak, run
down and with a severe cough, from
which | suffered four years. tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until / took vinol,
from which / received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone, and
l am strong and well again, and am
glad to recommend Vinol to others
who suffer as l did"
Try vinol with the certainty
that II 1t does not benefit
you we win give back your money.

Success In Life.

IT'S easy to be success, as
thousands of winners confess; no
mans so obscure and unlucky or
poor that he can't be a winner, l
guess. And success, Mr.. Man.
doesn't mean roll that would
stagger a queen, or some gems of
your own, or palace of stone, or
Il wagon that burns gasoline. A
mans success, though renown
doesn't place on his forehead a
crown, if he pays as he goes, if it's
true that he owes not a red in the
-dod-gasted town. A mans a sue
cess if his wife finds comfort and
pleasure in life; if she's glad and
content that she married a gent
reluctant to organize strife. A
mans a success if his kids are as
joyous as Katy H. Dds; if they're
handsome and neat, with good
shoes on their feet, and roses and
things on their lids. A mans a
success if he tries to be honest and
kindly and wise; if he's slow to re-
peat all the lies he may meet, if he
swats both the scandals and flies.

Gray one morning was taken
