WARRENTON, ORE, June 21-
Those scoffers who thought that Miss

her election as Mayor of this town
are a much disappointed lot.
Miss Munson has the distinction Of
being the only woman Mayor in the
West, and for a wonder she is not
very much in favor of woman suf-
frage.
Now that women have vote"
she said, Il believe they should take
an active interest in political affairs

We're dissatisfied with the admins

have a woman for Mayor he would
run himself He was beaten.

He is Surrogate" Fowler, of New
York (Which in common, ordinary
conversation means just plain
Judge" Fowler and although he
never bought a trousseau in his life,
he knows it would cost S399-no cents

He not only decided that in New

of this bill.
| Senator Nelson. would like to
I suggest that you prepare such amend
ments as you think would fit your
case.
Mr. Peck. I have just drawn up a
| few lines here, senator AS | am a
layman, they very likely would have
to be altered but she sense is in them.
1t would be, perhaps, to take the place
of section 20:
| Each and every provision of this
act relating to national and other
, banks, banking associations, and trust
companies shall apply only tc those To-
Gated IN the continental United States.
| And | would also suggest that the
committee make provision for the
proper, collection and depositing of
public revenues in all places where
there are collecting Offices Of the gov
eminent and no reserve bank provided
for at that point, or no agency of a
reserve bank because if neither re-
serve bank nor g branch be establish
ed where the revenues originate there
, will be no place for the revenues pro
vided for in the bill to be deposited at
; all; because they must be deposited,
apparently as collected, in those re-
serve banks
| Senator Nelson: I can see it would
be a great outrage to your territory
to take the revenues away from your
1 bank and put them into the CONT
mental United States. That would be
great mistake
Mr.. Peck. It would be an pmbar-
rassment to the Government which
would be severe.
Senator Nelson The government
would have to transmit the funds
there to pay it's bills?
Mr.. Peck. t would And as ovorv-
thing there is paid in coin and if they

Senator Reed What about your

Mr.. Peck. We have $250.000 bank
circulation.
Senator Reed. What do you do with
lit?
Mr.. Peck. It Is paid out and dis
tributed through the agency of the

with many other national banks.
Senator Nelson. Do not your notes
circulate among the people there?
Mr.. Peck. No paper money eircu-
lates there. We. take that out for the
convenience Of the currency system OF
the United States government.
Senator Nelson You have to take
out a given amount?
Senator Reed What do you do with
it? You say you have $250,000 and
that it was paid out through bank
in Washington?
Mr.. Peck. Yes: through our agency
here

Mr. Peck. Where it was originally

TWO REASONS.


The latest issue OF the Donnellson
Review contains the following par
agraph:
Beginning next Sunday, barrels Of
ice water viii be placed on several
prominent corners in Keokuk. 1t is
a good idea and creditable to the city.
but we don't understand why they put
them out only on Sunday. Don't the
people down there drink any during
the week days."
There are two reasons why barrels
OF Ice water are placed on prominent
street corners In Keokuk on Sunday
In preference to other days The
first Is that the visitors to this city
on Sundays outnumber by thousands
those who come on other days OF the
week, and Keokuk believes In the &C
cepted doctrine of "the greatest good
to the greatest number" The sec
ond reason Is that on week days ice
water Is available to visitors In all
the stores and Offices. and there Is not
the same urgent need for supply on
the streets as on SUNDAY. Should fur
Their reason be demanded something
might be limited as 10 the rigidity
with which the provisions of the mulct
Law are enforced In Keokuk, especially
the requirement as to Sunday closing.

KEEPING FOOD IN SUMMER

The department Of agriculture at

suggestions in regard 10 keeping food

TO helping the public to avoid sickness

While people should be careful about
the condition OF the food they eat ar
all seasons Of the year. they are coun-
seled to be particularly watchful dur
ing the summer months. In hot wealth
er bacteria multiply far more rapidly
than in cold weather and produce
chemical changes in come foods which
greatly lessen their nutrftiye value
and often make them unfit for human
consumption Unfortunately, there IS
no quick, absolute, simple. practical
way Of determining the presence Of
hurtful bacilli in foods, or Of obtain,
ing positive evidence Of the existence

The housewife is told that she will
