Rural, MAIL BOX
PRIVILEGE ABUSED
Carriers Report That Persons A.
tempt to Avoid Paying Postage
and Break Regulations.

COMPLAINT is made to the postoff1ce
department by the rural mail carriers
and others that there is a general
tendency to abuse the privileges or
the rural free delivery mail boxes.
The worst abuse Is from farmers liv-
ing on the route to use the boxes to
avoid payment of postage on matter,
and also to convert the boxes into
butter and egg receptabies.
Last Saturday a supply of Sunday
school papers were distributed by
some one through one rural district.
The papers were put into the boxes,
and did not bear any postage. The
rural carrier collected these papers
and made a note Of the boxes. Today
the persons in whose boxes he found
PAPERS minus postage, were notihed
bv the department that postage was
dine and asked to send the required
postage.
One farmer subscribss to journal,
and when he has finished reading 1t,
he is in the habit Of sending 1t to
his friends via the rural boxes, with
out paying postage on 1t, the carriers
report. This Is in dir set violation
and steps will be taken to stop sucn
practices.
Another nuisance the carriers find
is that of using the boxes as recep-
tacles for butter and eggs. 1t is tn
general opinion of the department
that these boxes are for nail which
has proper postage on it, and not lot
any use that may be desired to put
thorn to

munities. A town in Wisconsin, about
this size let's 100000 go to mail order
houses each year.
Community Suicide.

Community Suicide.
Nov here's a statement / want to
give you and want you to take to
heart Every man who buys one dol
lars worth outside Of the community,
commits community suicide"
Forty county seats in Iowa lost
population within the last ten years.
This was due to the California fever,
evidently, as Mr.. Knox said that 50,-
900 Iowans were In the far western
state. This he declared was bad for
the town and the community, because
the young men OF the city got the
idea that the town was dead one.
and pulled up stakes. The loss OF
young men to town is blow, MI.
Knox declared.
Mr. Knox would spread the gospel
Of community evangelism through
the schools. IT am in favor Of COM
munfty meetings In the high schools"
he declared. THE average school
man gets into the habit OF learning
to teach and then quits" Mr.. Knox
then related an experience in point
that he had with county superints en-
dent and who admitted that he did
not know OF the loss of population In
the state, which he had been talking
about. Neither did he know the cure.
Farmer Is Manufactured.
Every farmer is manufacturer.
You may not know that" Mr.. Knox
declared, but nevertheless he is. He
manufactures a certain kind Of goods.
Now wouldn't it pay you to increase
the quality Of that factory by bring
ing a farm expert here to lecture to
the farmers in the community?
"And now let me say something to
you about this knocking proposition
Quit knocking your competitor. re-
member he is boosting your business

petitor was, meaning another sales

Craftsmanship is a mutual exchange
of values at fair profit to both par
ties. If I make deal and get all the
best of it, that isn't salasmanship
On the other hand if make deal

! Sell keokuk to World.
The closing thought OF Mr.. Knox''
address was to sell Ksokuk to al
the world. It is the best proposition
he knew Of, he declared. He urget
boosting, cooperation and organiza
ton. "And sell Keokuk to the Who'll
United States, don't know OF bet

Despite the fact that the luncheon
had to be hurriedly arranged for, be
cause Mr.. Knox could spend but tn
one day here, the gathering was goo

Cooperation Not Competition.

Mr. Knox then applied the state
ment credited to guard at an insane
hospital to city. The guard was
asked what he could do if the inmates
all banded together and made con-
certed rush for freedom. He replied
that If the inmates had the mental
ability to cooperate and organize In
IN concerted action they would not
be in the institution. So with
town, Mr. Knox pointed out. That 1t
must cooperate and organize in order
to get anywhere.
"Co-operation and not competition
is the life Of trade" he declared with
emphasis. eff this is not 80, then the
business of the town is not being
conducted along sane lines. The trou-
bile is that you are not all pulling TO-
eether. Every city like person has
its own personality. Every town rad
iates its own advertising. A travelling
man told me only last night that the
trouble with Keokuk was that Its peo-
nile did not pull together. have

cling men are going out saying your

But who is to blame II you areh

You are doing it yourselves. Get the

Craftsmanship Expert Says the
Chance to Become Metropo-
lis Bigger Than Des
Moines, Presented.
COOPERATION Is SLOGAN
This, Rather Than Competi-
ton, Should be Life of
Trade Mail Order Buy
ing is Suicide.

Keokuks opportunity to grow into
a bigger city than Des Moines is at
hand, j. s. Knox, president OF the
Knox school of salesmanship, told
fifty business men at luncheon this
noon at the Hotel Iowa, and IL this
growth Is not realized within the
time Of the present generation, then
the fault lies with the people Mr..
Knox urged cooperation, rather than
|competition as the life Of trade. He
waved the banner OF the booster
spirit and urged the business legion
OF the city to follow In It's wake. He
declared that sanity II the basis Of
ability to cooperate and to organize,
and he warned the business men that
travelling men were saying that Keo-
kuk's trouble was lack OF cooperation.
Such unfavorable advertising he laid
at our own doors, but offered cooper
alton, organization and the booster
spirit as the antidote for such
poison.
The spirit OF the community evang-
elist should be inherent in every
Keokuk merchant and in every Keo-
kuk person, Mr.. Knox suggests, and
he declared with emphasis that every
man who buys a dollars worth of
goods outside Of his own town is COM
hitting community suicide He pro.
tested against the spirit Of knocking
on ones competitor, and suggested
cooperation instead. Tor so-called
competitors are advertising your busi-
ness as we'll, Mr.. Knox declared.
| 10 Sure to Grow.
"Keokuk some day will be bigger
city than Des Moines, and II 1t isn't
! ii will be your fault" Mr.. Knox de-
clared in way of introduction. That
ltt will be a larger place is inevitable.
1T is bound to be a great city. Des
Moines is a great city only because
| 1t has great state around 1T. But
keokuk has its dam, now OF interna'
tional repute 1t furnishes ire
mendous opportunity. And another
thing, you are on the mississippi
river.
What does that mean? It means
that some day the great cotton mills
OF England will be moved across to
the United States. The river VIII be
used as a great carrier. This city
will be shipping center as we'll as
a factory center. Why II l were sell

CHARMING chlldren's Program.

Charming chlldren's Program.
One Of the most charming enter
tainments given in Keokuk in many
days was the program Of children's
classics given by the Monday Music
club last night in the Y. w. G. A. audi
forum. Every seat in the hall was
taken and many were standing. The
instrumental group, Kinderscennen.
by Miss Nina Phillips was received
with the greatest appreciation by the
audience. Mrs. F1orence-Wright
Schouten sang two numbers, Little
Boy Blue, and Little Chrysanthemum.
Mrs. Schouten never fails to please a
Keokuk audience who feel q just
pride in her. Miss Clara Gertrude
Fry played the accomplishments for
all Of Mrs. Schouten's numbers, with
her usual skill and sympathy
Miss Eleanor Brown read the story
of The Selfish Giant by Wilde Lehr-
mann with piano accompaniment by
Mrs. Ralph B. Joy. Miss Brown has
long since won very high place by
her artistic Interpretation of litera-
ture and her work last night was up
to her usual high standard. The piano
accomplishments by Mrs. Ralph Joy
deserve special mention because it so
perfectly supplemented the words and
the theme Of the story.
TIL Children's Classics, illustrated
by tableaux, was beautiful feature
of the evening. A large frame was
set in the center of the stage and the
living pictures presented with that
setting, were artistic in the extreme.
Each child deserves special mention
for the costumes and for posing. Each
child entered into the spirit Of the
character taken, making every pic
ture beautiful one The reading Of
the classics were given by Mrs. J. o.
Boyd, and Mrs. Schouten sang six OF
them.
Much credit is due the sponsors
Mrs. Leonard Matless and Miss
Brown, as we'll as the assisting COM
mittees.
The second part Of the program OF
tableaux will be repeated at chill.
