There are several reasons for this
One Is that the farmers are rarely
asked to contribute to any cause,
while people living in cities and
towns are continually besieged for

purposes are almost always over.

Another reason for addressing the

tribute their share toward alleviat-

The appeal to the farmers will be
addressed systematically. Commit

in the stores Of Keokuk and surround

asked to give as much publicity to
the movement as possible:
Details to Be Worked Out.
Plans for collecting the contribu-

later on. Several plans were sus-

noon and some of these will be adopt

the members of various women's or
ganizations here place representatives
in each store on January % to re
ceiye contributions of money.
Practically all organizations in this
CITY will be asked to aid as far as
possible in the movement. All lodges
and social organizations will be ask
ed to make cash donations. Other or
ganizations may be called upon either
for money or for help in making the

SENATOR DISCUSSES MORALITY.
Senator Rathbun Says Morality Not a
Question of Legislation.

State Senator Charles A. Rathbun
Was the principal speaker Sunday
morning at the Mems Forum in the
Madison Methodist church, and took
for his theme, Trying to Make Men
Moral by Law" He contended that
morality was not SO much a question
of legislation as of character, and
that the church rather than the law
makers had to do with keeping it on
a high plane. He criticised the eff
forts of those who fly to special
legislation as a remedy for every
moral i'll, and contended it was inn
possible to make pe,p,e good by law.
The speaker sail That he reros-
nized that many laws, by reason Of
creating better environments, enable
men to be better citizens, but doubted
if laws passed to compel men to be
good ever so affected them. The
enforcing Of ideas on people, as in
the case of Sunday observance, Mr..
Rathbun held to be i'll timed, saying
ideas change with the passage of
the years.

Following suggestions and some
complaints of parents of children af-
fected by the transportation of pu-
pills to the Hillside school, the trans
portation committee of the Morris
township board of education have
made several changes in the routes
so that every child in the sections
entitled to transportation will be car

In several cases children have been
compelled to walk from a quarter of
mile to mile or more to meet
the stage. BY the new arrangements
of the committee, Frederick L. Arm
seph F. Burke, this has been elimina-
ted
The changes went into effect Mon
day morning. A stage leaves the
front entrance of the Butterworth es-
tate each school day at seven forty
five. At Keating's corner it turns
to the right proceeding to Smiths g
corner where it turns to the left to
Mendham road and to the school build
ing, picking up all children on its
route
Another stage leaves the home of
Frank Goss each morning at seven
forty-five, proceeds to the old Wash
ington Valley school building. thence
turning to the right to Mendham
road and the old Union Hill school
house and proceeding thence to the
Hillside school building.
A wagonette picks up the seven
children on the Jockey Hollow road
and Luther Kountze's estate and
conveys them to the school.

TOWNSHIP BODY AMENDS
GRADE CROSSING CONTRACT
ing Over Death Of Willis
RI. Dutton.

At a meeting of the Morris town
ship committee Wednesday night the
contract between the committee and
the LackawanLa Railroad company
for the elimination of the Normandy
| parkway, SneedenS and Washington
| avenue grade crossings was amended.
The railroad, according to Counsel
Max Stallman, found tnat additional
room was needed along the old turn
pike paralleling the railroad for the
relocation OF telegraph lines and for
a reasonable amount of shoulder on
the slope OF the cut for the railroad
| tracks. To accomplish this the town
ship amended the contract so that
the turnpike is vacated from Otto H.
kahn's crossing west to its intersec-
tion with Washington avenue, instead
of at David Browns crossing, diff
| ference of a few hundred feet But
Mr.. Stallman assured the committee
there would still be left thirty feet
of space between the railroad embank
ment and the fence on the far side
of the road, providing ample room TO
traffic along the road
The committee passed the following
| resolutions of coincidence over the
death of Willis H. Dutton, who for
several years had been "a member
and had served as its chairman and
treasurer
Whereas, the Ruler of the universe,
in his divine wisdom has seen fit
to take from our midst an esteemed
fellow township committeeman and
citizen, Willis H. Dutton, who during
his aife time served the public we'll
and faithfully.
Now therefore, as AN expression of
the loss sustained by his parting
and as a token of our regard and
affection,
Be 1t resolved, that in the death
Of Mr.. Willis II. Dutton, this COM
mittee has lost faithful and devoted
member and the community valu-
able citizen,
Be it further resolved, that page
| in our minutes be set aside and that
| these resolutions be spread thereon
| In full and that certified copy of
the same under the seal of the town
ship, signed by the clerk thereof,
be delivered to the family of the
| said deceased.
