The care Of food in the home and
all other forms of household work are
greatly facilitated by right planning
and then the use of suitable materials
for the construction and furnishing of
the home. An adequate and conve-

Many Keokuk motor boat fans are
getting their boats ready to take the
water within the next few days. A
growing interest in the spor-. due per-
haps to the fact that the big regatta
is to be held here, is noticeable and
several new boats will be seen on
the river here this spring.
The bugs are praying that all the
rain that Is to be had this spring will
come within the next week or SO, in
order that it will not interfere with
the spring training of the Warriors.
Now that Lent is over, 1t Is pos

Bill Whitaker who have refrained
from signing a Keokuk contract will
once more get back in the game and
take away the suspense of the Keokuk

Straight.

The lower house OF the Iowa legis-
lature Saturday went on record OBJ
posing state examiners for county OF
fcers by defeating the Dixon bill. The
vote was 10 to AZ, but fifty-f1ve votes
are necessary to pass law.
Representative Dixon Of Sac made
a strong plea for his bill. He showed
how county officers who have been
honest when chosen have been I'M
able. because of lack OF inspection and
proper business systems, to remain
30. He called attention to a number
Of suicides in Iowa counties by Off
GERS who had gone wrong. He said
almost every county In the state had
had Its defaulting county officer. He
gave a number of instances without
mentioning places. In. one county
defaulting official who had gotten
away with $4,000. had left twelve
farmers, his bondsmen, to hold the
sack. These men had reimbursed the
county. and as a result nine OF twelve
OF them had been reduced to poverty.
Four are now working as day labor
ers and one has died because Of the
trouble.

as part of the hospitality and they sent supply to
the home of the candidate Mr. Lincoln returned the
liquors with this statement:

been in the habit of entertaining my friends in that
way. cannot permit my friends to do for me what
