Build for Future.

II must be -emembered however, IT
was pointed out at the meeting yester-
day, that the new Jefferson building is
being built for the future, and that
part of the equipment like the heating
plan. and ventilating systems and the
like are being put in for ten room
building, eventually, although, for the
present, only six rooms will be built.
The bids on the Jefferson school
practically might be said to be for
a seven room building with the boiler
room. One Of the building committee
members looks for the bids on The
new GARFIELD under these Circumstance
es to be less than the amount allotted.
The chairman and members of the
committee expressed themselves as
elated over the amount of the bids.
The fac. that the buildings will be con-
structed at a less cost than the allott-
ment is something worth while Gro
ing over
At the meeting Of the board on Mon
dav evening, the awards will be made
on the basis OF the bids opened yester-
day. Griffey & Son will probably be
given the contract. and the work on
the new building can progress.
Annual Meeting "Wednesday.
On Wednesday afternoon, in the
office Of the superintendent, there will
be held the annual meeting of the
board This meeting will be for .he
purpose of receiving reports and elect
ing . secretary Of the board, arc con-
Quoting the usual business before an

Industrial Association
Bulletin No. 46.

There are three ways Of making
a city grow, industrially. One is to
bring new factories into the city.
The second is to persuade the es-
tablished industries to enlarge. The
best way is combination Of the two.
While the Industrial Association is working
day and night to accomplish the former the in
dustries Of Keokuk can follow the latter
Some Of our industries doing splendid work
Still others could enlarge safely, if they had the
nerve A few can enlarge only when capital
becomes available for that purpose
In which class are you?

First Time within Limit.

For the first time in The history of
the board, one of the building commit
tee said the bids come within the
amount allotted for the building. or in
this instance the Two buildings. The
fact that the bids are within the al
lottment is q matter of considerable
moment. If the new Garfield building
can be built for as much less In pro-
portion, it may be possible to build and
equip the new school houses in keo-
kuk for the amount Of the bond issue,
or very close to 1t. The bond issue
provided funds for the building Of the
school houses. The furnishing was
to have been a separate item. The
Griffey bid includes the cost of the
humidifier as well.
The allotment at che time of the
bond issue vote was for $4,000 for an
addition to the Lincoln and $4,000 for
the new Seventh ward building. The
bids opened yesterday show that the
new building is going to cost bit
more than the $4,000 while the addi-
ton to the Lincoln little less than
the original amount.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

The defeat of the woman's suffrage bill in the English house of lords by vote of 104 against 60 is by no means a setback for votes for wom- en. It shows an astonishing gain for women's suffrage in England, for the house of lords is the most conserva- tive-yes, let it go with "conserva- tive" although perhaps another and less complimentary adjective would fit better-legislative body in the world, concludes the Beaumont Enterprise When nearly one-third of the members of the house of lords vote for progressive measure in England, it is pretty certain that the really intelligent people of England have seriously made up their minds in it's favor.
 It is interesting to note that Me
 Lud, the Viscount St. Oldwyn, whose
 name sounds as if he could trace his
 ancestry back at least. 1900 pages,
 spoke against the bill. Is Ludship
 declared that arguments in favor of
 suffrage in England based on re-
 suits in the United States would not
 apply to the British Isles.
 The noble lord may have bees
 right. We suspect he was at least or the right track. His argument indi- cates that he does not regard British women as whole as being as well fitted for the ballot as their Amer ican cousins. Like the average British nobleman, Lord Aldwyn probably is no overburdened with bay horse sense, but he has enough of it to know that the women Of the British aristocracy do not want to be both- cred with the ballot and would regard it as decidedly middle class" to eX- ercise it if they had it. He knows that the women of the lower classes as women of the working class arc called in England, are not even as fit for the ballot as their men-folk- that is, they are totally unfit to vote at least as compared with working people in this country. That leaves only what is called the middle class in England, and Lord Aldwyn knows nothing about them.
 Ten years ago a vote on woman: suffrage in the English house O. lords might not have revealed { single man with courage enough t( vote for it. No doubt many of those who voted against it on Wednesda! secretly favored it but were too hide bound by the traditions of their clas! to cast their votes according to thei1 convictions.

yited to adjourn to the red light dis
 trict where he will be more at home.
 Still, the same thing is true of the
 contra dance of the grandfathers or the waltz of yesterday.
 No one condemns dancing more sharply than the Small Boy. He would rather saw wood than make starched bows at dancing school, and lower his dignity by consorting with the girls. Many of the men obey higher authority under protest. "If we had to do this, wouldn't we kick?"
 One fcresees that the craze will be transient. It is like the bicycle fad of fifteen years ago. Not for long would people pump wheel over sandy roads for fifty miles. The modern idea of developing your is to ride in the rear seat ,f an automobpile. There are no idle in these athletic modern dances.

THE COST OF FLIES.

Statistics complied by the United ctates government show that the fly pests cost the government $33O,OOO,- 900 annually.
 ]. The committee on pollution and sewerage in New York city is to make an active campaign against the fly this season, and the suggestion issued by that body apply to to Pine Bluff as we'll as to New York. In a warning sent broadcast over the city of New York, the committee urges:
 "The extermination of the winter fly is the duty of the housewife and of every one. Don't let one escape. Catch ard kill them all before spring, for the winter fly is the parent of summers destructive swarms.
 "The time to destroy the fly is be- fore it has had chance to lay its eggs. Now is the time.
 Capture every one of the filthy lit tit pests you can find.
 SlnSle ny IS CdpdDle Ol uepoolt- ing 15O eggs at one time, and of pro- ducing five or six matches during its short life.
 "The progeny of a single pair oi flies, assuming that they all live, ii pressed together at the end of the summer, would occupy space of over fourteen million cubic feet.
 "This woulG be equiZalent to a
 "This would be equivalent to 8 building"
 Pine Bluff has already too long de layei the 1914 campaign against the fly, and therefore quick and effective work is necessary.
 Besides swatting the fly, everybody should join in movement to clean the city of refuse. There is not much in the streets, but there must be considerable in back yards, judging from the number of flies and from the odors emanating from some yards.
 Manure piles are fly incubators Stables should be cleaned, and the manure either removed or treated with a solution that will prevent flies breeding therein.

 MT. T .F. Beck, commissioner of agriculture in Tennessee, is quoted by the Manufacturers Record as say ng:"Where you find good system of public roads you invariably find improved farms; you find better stock, better out buildings, better homes. You will also find more and better schools, better church, than you can find where the public roads are neglected"
 This is the judgment of agricul- tural leaders throughout the south. and there could be no higher women of the sections progress thaa the awakening of it's farmers to the inn portance of we'll built, well-kept highways Good roads are essential to industry and commerce, to the growth of towns and the prosperity of all business interests, but they are peculiarly essential to the welfare of rural districts.
 The value of lands and of crops de- bends very largely on the quality of the roads in the surrounding country. It is a matter of record that where roads are good farms are worth any where from $10 to $200 an acre more than in sections where the roads are poor and that the profits of farmers are approximately great. This is but natural for good roads mean econo- mic and social advantages.

 MT. Robins, speaking before the Sunday Night club, referred to the Pharisees past and present. By way of illustration he sighted the story of the Magdeli1e, quoting the phrase: "He who is without sin among you"
 On the same day Alderman Cough lin assured his constituents of the First ward that these stiff-necked reformers went putting in 10000 years ago the same as they do now.

RAINS ADD TO
 FARMERS TASK By JOHN H. PAGE, Commissioner of Agriculture.

We have had too much rain re- gently, and this has thrown many of
 the farmers behind with their work
 At some time during the spring we always have too much rain, and it would serve us mighty we'll if we would always keep this in mind and prepare for it the best we can. During the good weather We can make note Of a good many odd jobs that we can do on rainy days. By making a list of them we will soon find that the rainy days come in profitably and the time is not lost.
 During wet weather the grass and weeds grow rapidly and are hard to Kill. Use the harrow cross-wise of the rows on the corn and cotton after the plants are up. Do not start the harrow early in the morning, but wait until or 10 o'clock. The young plants are tougher after the sun shines on them awhile, and will not break down so easily. Do not blow when the ground is too wet. It is time thrown away and often does more harm than good. Better use the hoe than blow when the ground is wet. It is costlier, but pays the best. Hoe-made corn is high priced corn, but it is better than no corn at all. Plant some COW peas, velvet beans or soy beans this month
 If you can't plant this month, make arrangements for next month. Set aside the land for one or more of these crops. Don't forget the sorghum patch either. It is needed to make molasses and also to furnish good pasture for hogs later on. Cow peas and sorghum together makes a good hay crop. The sorghum doesn't bene- | fit the land, but the cowpea the vel vet bean and soy bean do. The two latter add lots of nitrogen to the soil, and that is the costliest element required to make rich soil. Every farm should have a potato patch. Aft CT the potatoes are dug do not let the land lie idle, but plant it to another crop. Several crops can be grown aft CT potatoes. If in doubt about what to try, fall back on the old reliable COW pea. Every farm should have either alfalfa or clover on it. It is not every farm that will grow alfalfa, but most of them will grow some of the clov- CTS. Prepare some land for clover and SOW it this fall. You can not do better than try some burr clover. Alsyke clover is. good for wet land, is good for pasture and hay. Crimson clover is soil builder that is hard to equal and makes fine crop.
 By all means take care of the calves and pigs. There are fewer cat tie in Arkansas today than for the past twenty-five years. This is fact. You know what it means. Keep the COWS and heifer calves especially. We need them for breeding purposes. One acre of Arkansas land can be made to sustain one head of cattle, and yet we haven't an average of one head to every forty acres. The Lord gave the injunction to his people to multiply and replenish the earth" As a Chris tian people we are obedient to this command, and so Arkansas is land of babies. Now all we need to make and keep this a land of milk and honey" is to supply the milk. Hence one of the demands for more and bet ter cattle.
