1T is gratifying that very little
criticism is offered against the cele.
bration of last week, having for its

After full week of celebration,
Keokuk observed Labor Day in a
very quiet manner There was no
srecial observance of the day what
ever, and the best thing the people
did was to find relief In cool spot
from the intense heat. 1t was the
hottest Labor Day in Keokuk for sew
eral years. A breeze was stirring,
but It carried nothing but warm air.
Two games of baseball in the after
noon attracted about five hundred
people, but 1t was almost too warm to
even sit through game, and the
usual Labor Day crowd was not pres
ent. Quite fey spent the day at the
Country club and had dinner in the
evening, while others enjoyed boat
ride on the river Picnics were num-
erous, and about as many people
spent the day In this manner as in
any other.
