Isit possible to make over Keokuk into great
metropolitan city of one hundred thousand peo-
pie and more? Yes 1t is. But several things
are necessary to that end
Factories and increased business will do it.
partly But it takes constantly expanding men
tai and spiritual grasp of the right city idea in Or
der to make city out of collective mass of peo-
pie, industry, business and wealth. If this men
tai - pritual growth fails to materiaze large
community will forever remain a large village.
Building up big city is like building up
big business. Plans are made on big scale and
the business is conducted on big scale. 1t IS
case of give and take on large scale-gve as
we'll as take. And big mental grasp of the sit
uation, both present and future, IS required to
make such exchange produce satisfaction.

During the practice of the crews kr

Coach Conibear Of Washington talked
freely about the matter and said In
his opinion it would be great boom
to rowing in the west If a course in
this section were selected.

gatta national intercollegiate affair.

Iowa might be induced to travel to the

Texas is going to revive rowing and so
is Michigan, so these two also might
join. happen to know that the Keo-

been proposed by some Of the advo-
Gates of change.
No Better Course.
There isn't better course in the
country, and I've seen practically all
of them.
"The government fixed it up recently
and dozen crews could row at one
time. The train accommodations are
unexcelled, tracks run along the river,
but do not have as many twists as
they have here.
"The question of neutrality is unde-
batable. Cayuga Lake is Cornell's
back yard. I cannot see where it is
advantageous for us to travel 5000
miles at an expense Of $1,000 to row
here every year, and we most certain
ly want to compete in an intercolleg-
late regatta. A trip to the Mississippi

Ralph E. McMillen the world famed
aviator who will give an exhibition in
the art of flying at the fair grounds
here during the fair is considered
one of the greatest aviators in the
country. Mr.. McMillen learned to
fly at Hendon, England; after COM
plotting his course, he made many
flights at different points throughout
Europe, returned to America and
made record breaking flight in Cal
ifornia. He won one of the finest
loving cups ever given an aviator by
the city of Long Beach, California,
when he made his cross country
flight from Dominguez Field TO Long
Beach, California. McMillen has
record of less accidents than anyone
else. In all his fight this season he
has had only one accident, and land
safely after yolplaning down 1000
feet. The machine used by Mr.. Nc
Millen is a most wonderful machine.
The exhibition given here should
draw the greatest crowds ever wit
messed in this section of the country.
