Texas Consumes Twenty-Five Cars Of
Crane Juice.

We all know that Texas is the
largest state in point of area in the
union, but what will be in the nature
OF surprise to most of us is the
fact that it seemingly harbors the
largest thirst That is, II its consump-
ton of Grape Juice is any criterion by
which the thirst can be measured.
Armour and Company are right at
the top of the ladder when it comes
to supplying the where-with-a which
Texans require for quenching that
.thirst-viz., Grape Juice.
From one of their plants in West
field, New York, they have sent Texas
a shipment of twenty-five cars. To
consume such quantity will surely
require the most strenuous efforts OF
our most accomplished and magma
tive drinkers.
Let us reckon that il this juice had
been bottled in the usual soda foun-

Hiqh school singers successfully Pre-
sent "Ths Rose Maiden" at the
Grand Last Evening Be
fore elg Audience.
HAYDEN Is DIRECTOR

BY Local Favoritss-o rehes-
ira Adds to the
Production.

voices under the direction OF Prof
p. C. Hayden, and assisted by Miss
enid Simpson Of Carthage, Mrs.
Henry Schouten, Mr.. A. 8. Nicholas
and Mr.. J. Ralston Hayden proved one
az the successes of the years pro-
gram OF high school music. The
chorus parts were well given, especial
IL the chorus. "'Tis Thy Wedding
Morning" which an enthusiastic audi
ence insisted should be sung over
again.
The four soloists added much to
thu Interpretation Of the difficult
score. and all OF them showed their
training and natural ability to good
advantage. Mr.. Nicholas as the For
ester. has a magnificent tenor voice,
which appeared to advantage in his
work throughout the evening. One OF
his strongest bits of singing was done
In the final chorus. Zen as Die the
Roses Miss Simpson has appeared
before Keokuk audiences several
times, and her singing last night was
repetition Of her former success in
this part. She sang the part OF Rose
Blossom"
Mrs. Florence Wright-Schoutsn an,
singing and contralto solos appeared
at her best, and her singing last night
proved that she is an artist. She has
wonderful control Of her voice and
her expression is admirable. Her
solo ASK Of Yon Ruined Castle" was
magnificently sung Mr.. J. Ralston

kuk audiences, and last night he was
given another ovation. His singing

cess to the many he has scored be-
fore Keokuk audiences.
Credit to Director.
TO Prof. P. C. Hayden, who directed
the chorus and the orchestra much
credit can be given for the success
Of the piece. Prof. Hayden has en-
deayored to give Keokuk some really
high class music at nominal cost, and
his community music programs have
been successful The program last
night was another success.
Much OF the evenings success was
due to the orchestra. The high school
was augmented by sevsral local must
clans and the work of this body was
feature of the presentation. Much
credit should 60 toy the accompanies,
also, for the success OF the evening.

runs, but finally yields to her entreat-
les by changing her while she sleeps

New York Savings Banks Report Increased Deposits

 Country
By HOLLAND

New York, October 13.-(Speeial)- )-The paying tellers in many of the banks. es- pecially those that carry the accounts of large industrial corporations. have had within the pats two weeks a visible proof of the increased activity in business. es- pecially manufacturing.
 Pay rolls tell a story of employment for skilled artisans. Pay rolls are also one of the means, perhaps the chief one by which money gets into circulation and by which savings bank deposits are made by those who know how to practice econ omy. The experience since August of the New York savings banks also fur nishes proof of steady employment and good wages for the skilled artisan.
 For when the stock exchange closed and the clearing house began to issue certifi- cates, the savings bank managers, being apprehensve that the depositors would become alarmed and therefore be dis posed to make runs upon the banks took advantage of the statute which permits them to withhold payments excepting until after SO days notice. The time limit fixed by the statutes has now expired, and the savings bank managers have ob- served that instead of any more than the normal withdrawal of deposits there has been an increase of deposits That tells the story of earnings as increased pay rolls do.

essary for me to hold my torpedos un- til I could lay true course for them. which also made it necessary for me to get nearer to the Greasy. l had come to tre surface for view and saw how wildly the fire was being sent from the ship. Small wonder that was when they did not know where to shoot. al- though one shot went unpleasantly near us.
 When I got within suitable range I sent away my third attack. This time sent second torpedo after the first to make the strike doubly certain My crew were aiming like sharpshooters and both torpedoes went to their bulls eye. My luck was with. me again, for the enemy was made useless and at once began sinking by her head Then she careened far over but all the while her men stayed at the guns looking for their invisible foe. They were brave and true to their country's sea tradi- tions Then she eventually suffered a boiler explosion and completely turned turtle. With her keel uppermost she floated until the air got out from under her and then she sank with loud sound, as if from creature in pain
 All Three Sunk
 The whole affair had taken less than one hour from the time of shooting off the torpedo until the Greasy went to tho bottom. Not one of the three had been able to use any of their big guns. l knew the wireless of the three cruisers had been calling for aid. l WAS still quite able to defend myself, but I knew that news of the disaster would call many English submarines and torpedo boat destroyers, so, hay ing done my appointed work, l set my course for home
 My surmise was right for before I got very far some British cruisers and destroyers were on the spot. and the destroyers took up the chase. kept under water most of the way, but managed to get off a wireless to the German fleet that I was heading home ward and being pursued I hoped to en- tice the enemy by allowing them now and then a glimpse of me, into the zone in Which they might be exposed to cap ture or destruction by German war ships, but although their destroyers saw me plainly at dusk on the 22d ana nude a final effort to stop me, they abandoned the attempt, as it was talk ing them too far from safety and need lessly exposing them to attack from out fleet and submarines.
 How much they feared our submar- ines and how wide was the agitation caused by good little U-9 Is shown by the English reports that whole flo- tllia O1 deTman SuDHldTlneS DdQ dl- tackled the cruisers and that this flo tilla had approached under cover of the flag of Holland.
 These reports were absolutely untrue. U9 was the only submarine on deck. and she flew the flag she still flies the German naval ensign-which I hope to keep forever as glorious me- mento and as an inspiration for devo- tion to the fatherland
 I reached the home port on the aft ernoon of the 2sd. and on the 24th went to Wilhelmshaven to find that news of ny effort had become public. My wife. dry eyed when I went away, met me with tears. Then I learned that my little vessel and her brave crew had won the plaudit of the Kaiser. who conferred upon each of my coworkers the iron cross of the second class and upon me the iron cross of the first and second class.

WEDD|GEN'S STORY ABOUT SINKING 0F ENGLISH CRUISERS New York World Publishes Story By Commander of German Submarine U-9 NOT A HITCH IN
 DARING EXPLOIT Four Torpedoes Launched and Each One Went True, Sinking Three
 Cruisers Within Less Than
 One Hour

The New York Worlds exclusive story the narrative of Capt Lieut.. Otto We'd digen, commander of the German subma- rine u-s-was regarded as a rare news paper enterprise, because there is an in- vioable rule in the German army and navy prohibiting officers from telling of their exploits, but because of the special na- ture of Weddigen's achievement an ex- oeption was made in his case. The Worlds correspondent Herbert B. swope, cabled the story from Berlin under date or september 3, but it was delayed by the British censor via London until October 1C
 Lieutenant Weddigen, in beginning his narrative, relates that he is s2 years old and that he has been Fin the navy for years;' that he had been attached to the submarine f1otilla for the last five years. On August 16 he was married to his boy. hood sweetheart Miss Prete F. Harn- burg. Weddigen then goes on as follows:
 Before that I had been steadily on duty with my boat and I had to leave again the next day after my maria ge. But both my bride and l wanted the cere- mony to take place at the appointed time. and 1t did, although within "A hours there after l had to go away on venture that gave a good chance of making my new "ife widow. But she was as firm as I was that my first duty was to answer the call or our country, and she waved me away from the dock with good luck wishes that l sure had in my part in the outcome of my expedition.
