WHY IS KEOKUK FIRM?
Because Its Citizens Have Learned
the Truth

After reading this generous and en-
couraging report from Mr. Bland those
who have the misfortune to suffer, as
he did, will naturally long to get SINH
lar relief. But to get the same good
as Mr.. Bland had, you should get the
same remedy. There are of course,
other kidney pills but there are no
other kidney pills the same as Doan's.
That is why Keokuk people demand
the genuine.
William Bland, $40 Main St, Keo-
kuk, says: MY back was extremely
lame and when I heard that Doan's
Kidney Pills were effective in curing
that trouble. got a supply at Wilkin-
son & Co.'S Drug Store. They reliev-
ed NE promptly and although I had
tried other remedies without success,
nv back is now in much better shape.
7 know of another person who took
Doan's Kidney Pills when suffering
from pain and lameness in the loins
and relief was had in that case"

HOUGH LIKELY TO
MANAGE CLINTON
Makes a Few Demands AZ Conditions
Upon Which He will Retain
Leadership Of Team.

CLINTON, Iowa, Nov. Ebert l.
Hough, manager Of the Clinton Pilots
In the Central baseball association
last season, held a conference with the
Clinton business men who had backed
baseball in this city last season and
announced that his future plans de-
pend entirely upon the Booster club
and fans Of this city. He asks that
the local people put on two booster
days in this city next season, outside
OF the opening day, when the stores
will close and everybody turn out
With this inducement, and loca! or
ganization to handle the affirs OF the
club at home. he believes that he will
be able TO return to this city and give
the fans good bail team. He stated
Tuesday that It was simply case OF
the fans backing him or he will have
to leave Clinton and take his players.
II Housh leaves this city 1t does not
necessarily mean that Clinton viii be
without baseball next season as It
would still retain its franchise and
could secure a new team 10 represent
It,
The one disadvantage that Clinton
would have in this case would be to
secure capable manager and new
players who could land Clinton as
high in the race as It was last year.
Hough gays that he will have to have
an answer within short time as 1t
ia necessary for him to know his
plans in order to build mis- club up. At
the present time he has Nolt, Sim
mons, Hubbert, WEIGH, Meme and
Darrow on the market and has lines
out for several new men.
Before leaving for Omaha he stated
tina: he would like TO come back here
next year as he loves the city and its
fans and that he was on his way at
the present time to see II he could
not land some promising material for
the team next season.

New Executive Board
An amendment was made to the ar
ticles Of Incorporation changing the
makeup of the executive committee
Formerly this committee was COM
posed of the president, secretary and
manager Of the club. In the amend
ment this makeup was changed to
include the president, vice president,
| secretary, treasurer and one other
person to be selected by the stock
holders at their annual meeting. This
resulted in the dropping OF the mana
! ger of the club from this committee
Following the adoption of this
amendment Belden Hill. who has been
manager of the Bunnies for the past
two years, was chosen by unanimous
vote of the stockholders as the fifth
uember Of the executive committee,
assuming a position as advisor to the
other four members Of the committee.
| Excellent Report Made.
The report OF Secretary Blake
showed total receipts for last year to
have totaled about $4,000. The earn
ings OF the club for the two years OF
its life have been such that another
income tax will be assessed against
the corporation again this year. The
record Of the Cedar Rapids associa
ton is thought to hold a place of its
own in the annals of minor league
baseball history.
Riding safely through the stormies'
year ever experienced by organized
baseball, the Cedar Rapids association
is one Of the very few associations, In
either minor or major ball, that made
any money

NOT QUITE DEAD.
German Bear is Not Yet Ready for
Joint Division.

Military critics Of Paris and Lon
don, although appreciating fully the
German reverse along the line from
Paris to Verdun and applauding the
splendid feat of arms of the French
and British troops, caution the pub
lie against a too rapid assumption
that the invaders are beating dis
orderly retreat. The critics point out
that a great army. such as the Ger
mans have pushed into France, still
possesses considerable power of re-
sisting pursuers and that it may as
sumo a counter offensive.
Discussing rumors of a German
shortage of ammunition, authorita-
tive circles acknowledge tina: the
lack may have occurred in some por-
tions of the fighting line, but decline
to believe that a fighting machine
such as the German army with an
open country at its back while ad-
vancing. could be allowed to run
short as whole.
