ONE ON COMMISSION,
CREDIT IS AWARDED
Unexpected Answer From civil Ser
vice Candidate Does Not go
to Waste.

Here's a good one on the local civil
service commission. It is vouched
for by one Of the members OF the
commission as well.
One of the questions given appli-
cants is put as follows:
"If your family consumes two pecks
of potatoes a week. how many po-
tatoes will they consume in 40 days?'
The unexpected answer which came
back to this question the other day
was:
Not knowing how many potatoes
there are in peck, ! could not say
how many would be consumed In 1io
days"
And the applicant was given cred
It of ten because the commission
feels that the Joke is really on them,
The next time they will state that
they mean how many pecks or bush
els will the parties consume.

plishment of linking together two
memory tributes which could not fall
to receive the endorsement OF real
patriotic sentiment. In this sugges-
ton it is not to detract one iota from
the patriotic and commendable en-
deavors of the Muscatine Relief Corps
but is thrown in merely as sugges-
ton to go along in commentator OF
their efforts of securing memorial
building. The locality of Des Moines
has its advantages, being the capital
of the state. But it claims no Mecca
where those interested mostly in such
a building, journey from many states
each year to pay loving tribute to
the patriotic dead in memorial serv-
ices in a national cemetery, secured
and dedicated and carefully Kept IN
sacred memory Of those who fell IN
the line of their heroic duty.
The Grand Army post at Muscatlne
at a recent meeting unanimously
passed resolutions accepting the reso'
lutions passed by the Woman's Re-
lief Corps in inaugurating the move
ment for state memorial building.
Other posts and relief corps in Iowa
will quickly and earnestly second the
movement. Some of the keokuk PEG.
pie are already interesting themselves
in the matter and action is likely to be
promptly taken.

Oldest Barber to Retire.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
CLEVELAND, April 16.-The old
est barber in the United States Is
going to retire. H. Winkes, 10. who
has shaved 100000 boards and cut
half as many heads Of hair in the
same shop since 1860 is going to quit
the game, he declared today. The
aged tonsorial artist numbered amonS
his steady customers in the early
days John D. Rockefeller. His skill
is shown in the fact that the oil
king used to give him ten cents extra
besides the regular price. But the
regular price in those days was SIX
cents. A hair cut cost ten cents.
When Winkes opened up his shoF

where the money is coming from. The
road could not be built without the
money. Even If Marsh was foolish
enough to want to start the work
without knowing where the finances
are coming from to pay for 1t. no
contractor would take up the task for
him under such circumstances. Gull
ford as an old head at this business,
Hs has done nothing else for years.
He knows where the money for the
Marsh line is coming from, and hs
knows that he will get his pay. There
is no rumor in these self-evident
facts; there can be no doubt about
them. 80.
Source Of Finances.
AS to the source of the finances fol
the road, it is now stated on what
seems to be reasonably good author,
ity that New York capitalists are fur
nishing the money, and that Dick
Marsh did not find 1t necessary to &C
cept French capital. Be that as IT
may, it makes mighty little difference
to the people along the route, and
mighty little difference to Quincy.
What does anyone care?
We all want the road.
When we look at the grade already
built, and see the big gang of men
and the splendid equipment making
more grade as fast rs men and ma
chinery can make it, We should all
rest content and possess ourselves OF
the only fact that really counts:
Dick Marsh IS building a railroad
from Warsaw to Quincy!
