Consider the Import
ance of the Dealer

The choice Of whieh car is, Of
course, important. What it has
done, who builds it, the manu-
facturer's position in the indus
try and the character of the car
itself is not difficult to ascertain.
You probably have pretty
definite idea now as to Which car.
Have you considered just how
the dealer is to be figured in the
transaction?
He is the point Of contact
between you and the maker,
your relation with him is bound
to be more or less personal.
The finest product of the best
builders can not be as satisfac-
tory car forIyou to own, if its
dealer does not display the spirit
of interest afteryou have bought,
as it would were the dealer all
that he should be. From those
who have had dealings with him
you can get pretty accurate line
on the dealer.

CHIEF kEOkUK
ON EXHIBITION
Idea Of the Statue Of Chief keokuk to
be Erected Later Is Shown

Designer Of the
Model.
MANY ARE SEEING IT

The model Of the statue of Chief
Keokuk from which bronze statue
S1a feet tall is to be built is on K
hibition in the window of the T. r.
j. Ayres Jewelry Co. The people of
Keokuk will have great interest in
seeing this model The statue is to
be erected through the efforts of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton and is not primarily designed as
memorial to the old chief, but as a
memorial to the pioneer days of
which the Indian is the symbol.
The choosing of Chief Keokuk as
the type is fitting one since his his
tory is linked with the early history
of this city and since this city bears
his name. The figure will mark the
beginning of the early trails across
Iowa and will mark this city as the
most important point on the trail
The figure of the Indian gives him
heroic pose, full of action. He is rep
resented wearing war bonnet, with
blanket draped on one shoulder and
bearing in his hand the pipe of peace.
The significance being that while
Keokuk was a warrior yet he met
the white man peacefully, and bore
the peace pipe in token of that atti-
tude of mind. The face is strong and
stern and is portrait likeness of
Keokuk when he was about so years
old, To this generation the Indian
seems not very far in the past and
we have traditional knowledge of
his dress, habits, etc, which the next
generation will not have. Works of
art such as this serve two fold pur-
pose, to keep history correct and to
beautify the city. Almost all visitors
to the city go to Rand park, 1t Is
usually the mecca of all excursion
lists. This statue will reflect great
credit upon this city, when it is placed
in the park.
The artist to whom the commission
has been given, Miss Nellie Walker
of Chicago, has put her very best eff
fort into this work. dorado Taft in
speaking of the model said: cit is

make a beautiful statue, now know

Mr.. Spiegelhausen found II hard so

For time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and farsee-
Ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance. SO
that on a Monday night he would
mail card from home saying: BE
sure to send card from Office tomor-
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards whole week ahead, sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them in the letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such n strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the season tickets for the opera, and

laughter: II suppose that was on the

Revolving Houses.

A Partisan inventor has conceived
the idea OF having small houses which
will turn on their axes built in coun-

ing a change Of scene, of light, and of
air. There is, he thinks, no reason
why some rooms should always get
the sunlight and the remainder be
always damp and unhealthy. The
idea is not entirely new. Some years
ago a revolving house was built in
Normandy. The door was constructed
of thin boards which glided over each
other as the house was turned On
one occasion these boards spread out
like an opened fan, closing the exit.
The inmate, terrified by his expert
ence, had the house pulled down.
