cation Society, of New York, was the

grant," was the subject Of an inter
esting address by Director Carr. He

for molding the immigrant into an
American.
Libraries for Rural Communities, y

RAILROADS PREPARE
FOR CROP MOVEMENT
Warning to Shippers 10 Issued In Or
der to Safeguard Big Ship
ment.

Believing that Iowa is in immin ent
danger of car shortage when her boun-
tiful crops are moved this fall, rail
roads issued their first warning to
shippers last week The danger is great.
Ell that it has been in ten years past,
railroad officials believe. They are
making a concerted effort to prevent
a disastrous shortage of cars.
The state commerce counsel depart
ment received the warning from w. S
Tinsman, secretary of the Association
of Western railroads. Tinsman does
not mince matters as to the cond1
tons for the crop movement this fall
He sets out six instructions to ship
pers, as follows:
Move all other heavy shipments be
fore the grain movement starts anc
have them out Of the way.
Load and unload cars quickly thai
they may be back in service without
delay.
Load all cars to their full capacity.
Anticipate the disposition Of the
cargo before it arrives that there may
be no delay in unloading it.
Order cars only that can be loaded
and moved promptly.
Do not bill shipments to informed
late points unless absolutely necessary
to be billed for reconsignment.

10 Danish " rlnkles and
Freshen Up Quick y

After a strenuous day outdoors,
when winds, heat and exhaustion have
combined to take away ones fresh
ness and caused the skin to wrinkle
and sag-or after a tedious or fret
full day indoors-one often has urgent
need for some quick rejuvenator.
Maybe there's a tango Garty on for
the evening, or some other social
event. How in the world can one
make herself presentable, looking as
size does? It's quite easy.
Just get an ounce of powdered sax
olite and a half pint witch hazel a.
tne nearest drug store, mix the two
and battle the face in the solution for
two Or three minutes. Then look in
to your mirror and behold the wonder
full transformation! Wrinkles have
vanished, loose, tired muscles have
been rested and "firmed up marks Of
fatigue have flown, and you look so
much brighter and younger you can
hardly believe your eyes. No one
need hesitate to try this, the witch
hazel and saxoI,e being SO perfectly
harmless. ..

Later Memories.

But why continue to prattle OF the

would probably be more suited to the
advanced thought of those who have
so far outstripped the wisdom and
culture of their sires and grandslre5,

GOOD PROSPECTS,
FOR STATE OF IOWA
Assessors Reports Show Many New
Buildings Were Erected in
Cities and on Farms.

DES MONIES, July 25.-New build
ings to the value of s24,600000 were
erected In cities and on farms in Iowa
during the year 1913, according to the
assessors reports which We're pre-
scented to the state executive council
yesterday.
The investment in improvements on
city and farm property in the past
showed an increase Of more than Az
per cent over the corresponding per,
iod Of 1912. In 1912 the new buildings
reported were valued at $16,2S3,o4l
|of which $1O,915,962 was represented
by buildings in cities and S5,367, S65
was spent on farm improvements
The gain reported in moneys and
credits in the past year Is $42,9S4,S12,
increasing the total value of the mon
to s25O,21s,17
There has been a gain in the value
lof farm animals and personal property
Ii1. the state also While hogs showed
ia decrease of s5,0o0,000 by the loss OF
100000 animals by hog cholera, an
Increase of 10000 of cattle in feeding
and other farm animals, has over
come the loss in porkers.
It is the policy of the executive
council to adjust realty values every
Iother year This is the year for the
assessment Of personal property. 1t
lis probable therefore that the value
los real estate will remain as it was
last wear with the value of tho ne-7
buildings added.

- Of Both Cities Now is Said to
be Cheaper and Better Inter
City Travel Over the
River

hamilton Press: Theodore Gilman,
.ecretary Of the company owing the
x e H. bridge, after week spent
n Keokuk has returned east. Mr.
] cilman's visit to Keokuk was for the
! nurnose of securing from Keokuk
consent to pay for the expense OF
huilding the viaduct that will be
necessary for the approach from the
etreet line to the second deck Of the
proposed new bridge.
The Keokuk mind is not altogether
. unit on this proposition. 1t will re-
ouira some considerable explaining to
ret the Keokuk taxpayers to under
stand why they should assume bur-
den that is clearly load for Andrew
Carnegie and his millionaire friends.
Before Keokuk consents to assume
his burden she should look well into
The future and gauge the possibilities
Of veal and woe that are wrapped up
IN this proposal to reconstruct the
X. & H. bridge.
I, our cross-river neighbor will view
the future by the past she should be
impressed with the belief that one
thing needed for the development OF
both towns is a cheap trans-river fare.
The ten cent fare now demanded is
too high. It should be half that.
And under present conditions the
cities could go before the interstate
commerce commission, or by ordi-
nance seek to reduce the rate. In the
dispute that would result We would
have fighting chance on the present
value ton Of the bridge. But II Car
negie spends 100000 more on the
bridge. that expenditure will buttress
the present excess toll charges for
years to come.
q The immediate and present need OF
Hamilton and Keokuk Is cheaper In
ter-city travel, and more frequent troll
LEY connection. Before lending assist
ance or consenting to any proposition,
the matter of fares should be thresh-
ed out. The Press has faith that the
congressional committee having the
bridge matter in charge, will listen to
an earnest canvass Of the matter and
the presentation OF our claims, II we
present them in forceful and con-
else manner.
Further we believe that better re-
suits will be obtained II the two city
governments work together and agree
on plan of action. So far Hamilton
has not been consulted by the bridge
people. The courtesy extended this
side by inviting some gentlemen from
here to attend an informal discussion
Of the plans for the new structure
some months ago., should not be CON
strued as city representation. Ham,
ilton and Keokuk have something OF
a nut to crack In the matter Of bridge
facilities and together they will fare
far better than. single-handed.

Old Eort Des Moines.

The barracks known as Fort Des
Moines located at Montrose was COM
manded by Coils. Kearney and Mason
from 1884 to 1887 and for three years
got It's supplies at Keokuk. The
furniture used at Fort Edwards be-
came in possession Of j. B. knight Of
Keokuk and may be held as valued
relics by somebody in the city even
to this day. 1t was long after COM
ing into private possession in good
state of preservation and consisted of
cherry lumber falling leaf tables,

which opens out to be used for bed
stead, having hair mattress inside;
also large haircloth covered rocking
chair in which Generals Winfield
Scott, Robert e. Lee, Sumner and
Browne, then captains. Lieut.. Roberts,
jeff Davis, Harvey and Kearney and
many other distinguished man had
sat.
Captain Sumner was general In
the war of the rebellion, Capt. Jesse
B. Browne was prominent in the az
fairs of the county serving in early
the county in the lower house and
state senate. He left here many
years ago and later died in Kentucky.
Nathaniel Boone, son Of the Illus
trious pioneer of Kentucky and Mis-
souri,, was another captain at this
early fort. The three companies OF
the first U. S. dragons composed the
force that occupied the barracks No
vemher /, 1884, under command OF
Lieut.. Col. Stephen D. Kearney after
wards as gallant military leader ris-
ing to the rank of general.
Col. James B. PARROT, afterwards a
prominent citizen Of Keokuk, dis
tinguished officer in the war of the
rebellion was a member Of one OF the
companies of dragons occupying
Fort Des Moines. Colonel Kearney's
quarters were built of willow logs cut
and hauled from the island. The logs
were lightly "scutched' on the out.
side, and the next spring, the building
was covered with green sprouts that
grew out from the scartfied logs. Col
onel Parrot, member of one of the
companies Of dragons, and who after
wards became prominent citizen or
Keokuk, distinguished officer In the
civil war, and afterwards postmaster
of Keokuk for number Of years, said
of this building, that it was then the
prettiest building he ever saw. After
the barracks were abandoned, Colonel
Kearney's building was used at
hotel, and was called the River House
It was kept by William Coleman. The
barracks we're used until the spring
of 1887 when the troops were removed
to Fort Leavenworth, Kas.

The man who thinks he is on Easy Street just

far. He has to get up early, stay up late and be
on the job all the time if he is to make his pros
