Decrease Accounted for.

The census is 20 less than in 1913,
chiefly where the Children OF wops
employed on water power construction
were listed year ago, and outside OF
the city limits. The first, fourth, sixth
and seventh wards show gain over
last year. The decrease is "a outside
Of the city limits, and 46 in the sec
ond third and fifth wards. Some chill
dren were found last year in house
boats. These are not found in Cabin
Boat Row this year, and this helps 20
make up the decrease.

The contractor agrees to allow $50

ton of Chairman Woolley OF the

Member Hamilr suggested that one
brick on which was stamped the word
Keokuk be turned out on all foies
walls. He said 1t was important to
keep the name Keokuk to the front.
What do you want that for! one

Coal and Paint.
Director Hamill asked what was to
be done about coal. He said some

saving in money would be trif1ing. and
there was no certainty as to whether
the board was getting slate or clay,
the members decided to stick to
Springfield coal.
Director Woolley reported two bids
on the painting of the high school
walls. One was for 1915 and the 9TH
er for 1885. The lowest one was from
Duncan-Schell company, and the other
from John Moore. On motion the
lob was awarded to the lowest bidder.
Member Boyd brought up the work

"HAUNCEY DEVERE APPLE
TON, weighed down by the
burden of his seven years and
the, dignity of his position as president
of the Children's Congress, wiped his
brow, and gazed down at his audience
in brooding silence.
He had called the members in ses-
sion extraordinary to discuss their
newest rival for public attention--the
Eugenic Baby. He felt that the flu
ture was dark and deary for the little
tots in front of him, none of whom
were the offspring of eugenic mar
riages, recalling with bang that his
own mother was near sighted and his
father had been a colicky baby.
rs there any chance" he asked
himself, moodily, 'for the son of such
a union to develop perfecta physical
manhood"
Harrison Hartigan Hardtop, aged 4,
rose to his feet. His father was TWEEN
ty years older than his mother, and,
therefore, not her eugenic mate.
Il want to ask you" he demanded,
shaking his name at the president,
and pounding the back of the chair in
front of him, IF any of you ever heard
Of Confucius?"
1t sounded like the DOGGY man that
hides in the jam closet, and Lucia
Simlet, aged 3, began to cry.
His father" Numbered the speaker,
again shaking his name, was 70 and
his mother 10 when he was born, and
can you name a greater man in his
tory? Ten me, can you" turning so
fercely to the little tots behind him
that they felt accused of hiding some
thing in their pockets and began, with
whimpers, to turn them inside out to
prove their innocence.
Master Hardtop sat down. He had
given his hearers a Thought to take
home with them; what public speaker
ever does as much?
The incubator chickens" said SUI
sanbelle Lee, struggling to her feet,
are the smartest chickens there is"
Alas, she was an incubator chicken
herself. having a stepmother instead
of the real thing.
1t was decided, after many weigh:y
discussions that no one present would
trade parents for other parents who
could better stand the eugenic tests;
that the men and women who demand
eugenic projections in their mates
have worse looking children than their
neighbors: that the ordinary catch
as -catch- can children are the best
1t was further decided that a COL
icky baby is less a nuisance than a,
sraphophone, for the reason that If its
parents keep the baby it may grow to
be President of the United States but
II q graphophone is kept forever it
will never be anything but a graphic
phone.
