inent landscape artist in the country,
has been in the employ of the Indus
trial Association. With the rapid de-
velopment of the city expected as a
result of the water power development,
1t was considered important to have
some idea of the direction in which the
city should expand, where the civic
where industrial tracts should be To-
Gated, and also general plan for beau
tifying parks and streets. A more ex-
tended explanation of the plan is
made elsewhere in this issue. 1t is
gratifying to find Keokuk in the front
rank of cities turning their attention
to this most important problem.
Rehabilitation of Public Utilities.
Keokuk's public utilities are in an
improved state at the present time.
Stone and Webster, after taking them
over, spent half million dollars in
improvements. New steel rails, mod
ern car barn, up-tc-date cars, and a
general improvement in the city SER
vice, are noticeable. The gas plant
has been remodeled, and the street
lighting has undergone great change.
No longer is the moonlight schedule
In use. In all of these matters the
corporation had the hearty cooperation
I of the Industrial Association, and the
plan of improvement was worked out
to the satisfaction of both, as well as
to the public generally.

Publicity Bill.
Early in its existance the Industrial
| Association was responsible for the
draft and passage of the Keokuk Pub
licity bill in the Iowa legislature. 1t
| is a measure designed to enable cities,
at their own election, to spend GER
tain amount of money for publicity
purposes. Keokuk was the first city
in the state to take advantage of the
opportunity.
New Street Building Plan.
Good streets throughout a city, es
pecially in this day of automobile
tourist traffic, do more to create q
better general impression among Wis
itors than anything else. With this
| in mind the Industrial Association has
/ given an unusual amount of time
and study to the street problem, moi
only to improve those already laid but
in order to work out the best plan fol
future construction. From now on al
streets will be made of more perma
nent character. Only concrete anc
brick blocks will be used, the formel
on streets where the travel IS light, an,
the latter where it is heavier.

Increase in Payrolls.

Keokuk is growing, manufacturing
Plants in operation here are extend
ing, and with it all comes an addi-
tional amount of labor, which means
larger payrolls. Every day brings in
quiries to the Industrial Association
respecting the advantages of this city
as a place for mechanics, and many
of them are coming here to locate.
With the extension of these plants,
there is an increase in freight ship
ments, and all else that naturally re
suits from growing industry.

ried out with excellent results in
every city of any size and progress in
the country, always under the direc-
ton of an organization similar to the
Industrial Association. The plan as
tried in Keokuk has met with unqual-
flied success Back yards are cleared
of rubbish, alleys placed in better
condition, and the streets put under
Spotless Town treatment. In con-
nection with this the Industrial AS

a great deal has been accomplished
in this line of special endeavor. The

institution in Keokuk.

New BouIevards.

Other conditions being equal, the
farmer will follow the line Of least
resistance in the way of good roads.
From all directions the roads enter
ing Keokuk are in good condition or
are being improved. Especially is
this noticeable in the boulevard along
the Mississippi between Keokuk and
Montrose, built Jointly by the Missis-
sippi River Power company and Lee
county. The boulevard beyond Rand
park also is being put In better shape.
The new boulevard on the opposite
side of the river will be of benefit to
those coming to Keokuk from that
direction.

for the future good health and better
times of Keokuk youngsters.

across the dam, constructed to meet
the heaviest modern railroad traffic.
President G. R. Joy of the association

Bridge company, which has had a
bill introduced in congress asking TOY
franchise to operate the project

steps taken to facilitate railroad
transportation in the future.

AMENDMENTS HAVE
 BEEN SUBMITTED

Little Rock, March 6-Three amendments to the Constitution have been submitted, and all oth- CTS proposed will die on the cal ender. The three submitted are: Municipal Bond Issue, initiat- !! ed by the people under leader ship of city officials.
 For creation of office of Lieu ant-Governor, adopted by House and Senate, resolution in- troduced by MT. Kidder of Pulas Xxi
 To place members of General Assembly on salary of $750 for biennial period, resolution intro duced by MT. Johnson of Logan,
 Under the ruling of the Su. preme Court, no other amend ments can be submitted in 1914.
 The House had passed resolu- tions providing for county and municipal initiative and referen: dun, and the Senate had passed resolutions for equal suffrage and to provide three mill tax for road purposes for thirty years.
 The liquor interests had start ed an initiative petition to submit an amendment, the result of which would have been the re- peal of the whiskey bill passed by this legislature but all of these are dead now.

 Some Wide Laces : Bands ". B. WALLER

House bill 16, Davis of Lafayette, a measure which required :he governor to make all of his appointments on boards and departments, which must be confirmed by the senate, and have them reported to the senate by the second Monday in February, with a provision for the appointment by sec cretary of state, auditor and attorney general if this appointment was not made in the required time, was in definitely postponed
 The house put it up to the senate whether or not the people of Arkansas will have the privilege of voting upon A constitutional amendment providing for the creation of the office of lieu tenant governor The Kidder house joint resolution No. g, was adopted providing for this amendment, with large vote in it's favor
 The house has taken a stand on To- cal legislation, the motion made by Sawyer. of Garland county, that no local bills introduced after February 27. be given consideration, was adopt ed by the house. This shuts off the crop of local bills, but there are enough local bills already on the cal endar to keep the house busy until summer should they consider nothing in the way of a general bill
 The senate had rather busy day last week, passing 29 bills, besides put ting another to eternal sleep. The bill killed was local measure to force the Malvern and Camden railroad to build a depot at a point near rates Bluff. AS the railroad has not been built to this point at the present tune, the senate did not feel like putting a depot in the wilderness, and voted to indefinitely postpone the bill

LIQUOR FORCES
 ABOUT DISCOURAGED

Little Rock, March 6-The li- quOr forces are about as near discouraged as it possible for them to be; over the repeated as- saults of the anti-liquor mem bers of the Senate, and it now begins to look as if Arkansas will be dry for a year at least, and the liquor men will no doubt follow out their intention of making the state really dry in order to swing the pendulum back in their favor. 1t has been intimated that the anti-liquor aggitation was start ed by politicians who did not re- ceive the support of the liquor in terests, and this contention has been borne out by the repeated activity from certain sources.
 The results accomplished for prohibition in this session of the legislature are quite different to former sessions, and the com parrison- does not heap renown upon the head of the reformer. In past sessions the prohibition lobbyists have been thick, and nothing was accomplished. This session there have been no lobby ists for prohibition, and the leg islature has voted the state dry.

SHOT FOR PREFERENCE

L
A rather turgid orator, noted
for his verbosity and heaviness,
was once assigned to do some
campaigning in a mining camp in
the mountains. There were about
fifty miners present when he be-
gan, but when, at the end of a
couple of hours, he gave no sign
of finishing his listeners, dropped
away.
Some went back to work, but
the majority sought places to
quench their thirst, which had
been aggravated by the dryness
of the discourse.
Finally there was only one
auditor left, dilapidated, weary
looking old fellow. Fixing his
gaze on him, the orator pulled out
a large six-sheoter and laid it on
the table. The old fellow rose
slowly and draWled out:
.Be you going to shoot if I
go?"
"You bet Iam," replied the
speaker. "Pm bound to finish my
speech, even if | have to shoot to
keep an audience
The old fellow Sighed in tired
manner, and edged slowly away,
saying, as he did so:
well, shoot if you want to. I
may jest as we'll be shot as talked
to death"
-O-O-

Mrs. Frank Getaways Plan to
Hide Bare Hills Likely
To Be Realized.

The dream of Mrs. Frank Galloway
to see the drab baroness of Piedmont
park hidden by thick trees bears prom
Use of fulfllment. Pledges of trees or
money obtained already by Mrs. Cal
laway from more than 100 persons will
be realized and trees will be purchased
by Dan Carey, park commission, and
planted. A ceremony of some kind
probably will be arranged to mark the
beginning of Piedmont parks embel-
iishment.
Mrs. Galloway was grieved by the
sight of the bare park, and she con-
ceived the plan of appealing to north
side residents for help toward making
the tract beautiful. Her suggestion
was this If each person who goes or
who sends his children into the park
for recreation would give a young tree
or its money equivalent-75 cents
great good could be done.
Many responses were made to her
initial appeal, and cash subscriptions
were plentiful Many of them exceeded
the modest limit of 70 cents which Mrs
Galloway specified, amounting to a fig
ure that was sufficient for the purchase
of dozen trees.
Mrs Galloway, who lives at As East
Fourteenth street, still is pursuing her
mission of making a beauty spot Of that
which now holds only a meager promise
of beauty. 1t is her plan to work ac-
lively for some time, that the subscrip-
tions be obtained in time for purchase
and planting of trees in the season best
for that work, the latter part of Jan
uary and early February.
Mrs. Callaway's appeal was taken up
by her neighbors and is reinforced by
that of others who indorse her work.
1t is estimated that many more than
the trees already obtained by subscrip-
ton will be necessary. Landscape en-
gineers modelled Piedmont park along
lines similar to those of Central park of
New York, and the territory In the At
lanta park is large.
Mrs. Galloway is hopeful however. of
achieving at least some good, and that
hope has. been strengthened by the
alaCrity with which a number Of north
side Atlantans have responded.

WOMEN ENLIST
LLOYD-CEORCE
SuffragetteS in Motley Deputa-
ton Obtain His Consent to
Support Votes Measure.

LONDON, Jan. ga picturesque
and motley deputation Of suffragettes
called upon David Lloyd George, chan
cellor of the exchequer, at the treas
ury building today to pledge his sup
port of the Grey amendment to the
franchise bill, granting votes to women
Among the women were school teach
ers, nurses, actresses, laundresses, fac
tory employees, mill hands, clerks
weaVers, fisher girls and stenographers.
The factory girls were dressed in rag
ged garments and their heads were COW
cred with old shawls, and the fisher
girls and weavers wore the short skirts
typical Of their work. A number of
women members of the militant suffra-
gette party insisted on opening the in
terview with violence, but were re-
strained
Sir Edward Grey, the foreign minis
ter and author of the amendment grant
ing votes to women, and Attorney Cen
eral Sir Rufus Isaacs were present dur
ing the interview.
Outside the treasury buildings a large
detail of policemen were on duty to
check any violence.
A representative of each calling
among the women addressed Mr.. Lloyd =
George, presenting their arguments in
favor of suffrage. In replying, the
chancellor said he would certainly sup
port the Grey amendment when it came
up in parliament At the same time.
he denied that Lewis Harcourt, secre-
tary state of the colonies. and Win
ston Churchill, first lord of the admir-
atty both opponents of women suf-
frage, would resign if the Grey amend
ment carried.
