ADV.
People are urged to be especially
careful in averting fires while the
heavy snow is on the ground. The
snow greatly impedes the speed of the
| fire department in climbing hills and
on the poorly improved streets in the
outskirts Of the city. The water
pressure, however. is very good this
winter and has not been lessened by
cold weather Most of the calls are
for fues.
The snow fall of eight and one
half inches reported here was gen
eral through this section and north.
All day yesterday and last night the
railroads were battling with the snow
! and most of the trains in and out OF
Keokuk are running about on time.
The south bound train on the K line
was only an hour late this morning
and most OF the delays are reported
| to be at stations in handling baggage
and passengers.
| The Unionville Republican says:
AT the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club Tuesday night the sub
! ject for discussion was the proposition
of securing light and power from the
Keckuk dam. Much interest was dis
played by those present. Comparisons
were made of the probable cost of
such service and the present cost in
the municipal plant. These seemed
to show that much advantage would
result from a money standpoint.

| After fighting the parcel post and
the mail order houses for years, the
Iowa hardware dealers must change
their attitude entirely, declared
Il George Haw of Ottumwa, president
of the Iowa Hardware Dealers Assoc
citation, In his annual address at the
opening OF the four day convention
being held in Des Moines. 1.-THE hard
ware dealer has fought the parcel
post for years, but it is now an ac-
complished fact and we must make
the best of It," said the president.
Instead Of continuing to fight the
, catalogue houses, we must begin to
compete with them. The high cost
, of living has entered into business
, relations to such an extent that the
: mail order houses now have the lions
) share of the business. Quality alone
s will not sell goods. You must have
, the price" Mr.. Haw might have add
, ed that another essential and neces-
sary implement to fight the mail or
! der houses was to use the same weap-
on they use-the advertising columns
: of the daily newspapers.
