To the Editor OF The Gate City:
Following are two items clipped
from papers recently:
THE User is sight OF horror.
Owing to the fighting that has been
in progress along its banks for the
past three weeks the waters are liter
ally clogged with bodies of Germans,
French and British alike. The car
cases of horses, fallen trees. demol-
;shed wagons and gun carriages block
the stream The Official report al
nounces the holding Of this town or
that, but there is little that resembles
town throughout the fighting area.
Only shells OF houses remain. There
is hardly a church tower standing.
Streets are Uttered with wreckage
and bodies. Newport and Dixmude are
literally cities OF dead. There Is little
left of either city. Death stalks
through the streets. Shells have bat
tered down walls OF buildings and all
that either Germans Or allies may
hold in occupying either point is q
pile of shattered crumbling ruins"
Imagine, if you possibly can. the
area comprised between Keokuk, Gen.
teryfile, Des Moines, Davenport, and
this city again, being fought over from
side to side and end to end by mod
ern troops with modern armament.
Imagine every city, village and even
the farms devastated, the buildings
. destroyed. farm animals killed or lest
. the people homeless, without food
and means to get IT, Imagine our
own city with the buildings shot and
torn. the business section wrecked,
and its inhabitants wandering without
shelter and food, no occupation or
money. In the history Of the world
have such conditions obtained as now
exist In Belgium, As one editor says:
Il believe the people Of Belgium are
more worthy Of help at this time than
any others on the face Of the earth.
Several millions OF them are threaten
ed with starvation and cold Through
no fault OF their own they have lost
their all Much OF what remains of
denuded lands has been submerged
and cannot be recovered for years
after the war ends. I believe every
man. woman and child in the United
States should contribute to this re-
lief
So do /. and / believe So do you.
There is only lacking the opportunity
to place your gift. A few days ago
one dollar was given to start this fund
and The Gate City will receive add
tons. If you can't give dollar, give
fifty cents, or twenty ave cents. Give
something. The farmers all over the
state are giving grain an3 provisions,
the railroads are hauling it free OF
charge and It will be carried in ships
to the people that need it so badly.
We in cities do not have food sup
plies but We all have and can spare
a little money for So worthy cause.
And remember 'fhe gives twice who
gives quickly"

stoekdale Realizes Advantage
Mr.. Stockdale was in Keokuk dur
ing the period OF the construction of
the power plant and dam. He is ia
niliar with conditions, and knew
what there was to offer here in the
way of power, freight facilities and
factory space. That was why he
suggested bringing the plants here
rather than separating them.
Mr. Stockdale is here alone to rep
resent fhe two companies in closing
up the final details of the dead. so he
stated today. He has been in con-
ference with officials Of the power
company, and with the Industrial
association officials. He was in con-
ference with Manager Towne and
President Joy this morning. Mr.
Stockdale intimated he would leave
keokuk tonight or in the morning,
and that he expected to have the
deals all closed in four or five days.
Is Well Capitalized.
The proposition on which the con-
ferences have been held with the In
dustrial association officials is over
the amount Of money which the as
sociatioD will be willing to give in
taking stock in the proposed factor
les, it is understood. 1t is not believed
that there will be much difficulty in
this matter
While not giving the names Of the
stockholders of the factory, it is UNI
derstood from Mr.. Stockdale that
the business Is solid one. and well
capitalized. The amount of capitali-
cation Is said to be 100000.
Locate on Tract.
The industrial tract will be chosen
as the location for the factory, it is
believed from what Mr.. Stockdale
says. While he stated that he had
not been down on the tract during
his visit here, he declared at the
same time, that he was familiar with
the grounds, and knew what there
was to offer there. 1t is believed that
the insurance rates will be more ad-
vantageous on this tract also.
II the factory moves here, build
ing $50 feet by $50 feet will be
erected 1t will be three stories in
height. it is stated. and will employ at
first twenty-five men with the pros
poets Of increasing the force.
| Just how soon the factory Will
move here depends upon the speed
with which negotiations are closed.
and how long it will take the contrac-
tors to erect the main building.

attended. Prin. ]. F. Smith presided
and after a well-rendered selection by
the girls glee club of the high school,
very briefly outlined the striking
progress made during the past years in
the local schools. Hon. Mason S.
Stone in an address. which held the
close attention of all, made a plea for
the adoption of the recommendations
of the Carnegie Foundation. He also
urged the substitution of more prac-
teal subjects for some now taught in
the high school, saying that the schools
must be made to fit the pupils, not the
pupils the school. The boys glee
club followed with Billiards.. "Stein
Song" Gov. Allen M. Fletcher ex-
planned the reasons for the recent
educational investigation and expressed
hearty approval of the recommends
tions. He also explained the attitude
of the executive toward some of the
present day political problems of the
state. The exercises were closed by
selections by O. H. S. orchestra. A
great many availed themselves of the
chance to meet the speakers and to
express their appreciation of the
addresses.

Gave up Church to Sleep Late Sunday

Gave up Church to Sleep Late Sunday.
In the February Woman's Home
Companion, Bruce Barton writes an
"Why Fifty Women Do Not Go to
raj hundred representative women
living in widely different localities,
asking for frank expression of
opinion The letters received in reply
form the basis of two articles, the
first of which is the one referred to
above. The second, which is to appear
later, is called "Why Fifty Women Do
Go to Church,
One of the letters published is from
woman named Mrs White who,
with her husband. William, used to
live on farm and go to church in the
nearest town-a town of 4. 500 popuia-
ton. Recently her husband gave up
life on the farm and bought a hard
ware store in the town. Since then
the church bells have rung in vain, so
far as the Whites are concerned, and
following is Mrs. Whites explanation ::
"We meant to continue as regular
attendants at the M. E. church, but
town life is different from our old life
on the farm. There we were hungry
for society and welcomed the oppor-
tunity that the Sunday morning
service gave; there. too. our time
was largely our own. Now Sunday
morning is the only time we can sleep.
My husband is in the store all day and
until late Saturday night, and It is
really pleasure to sit down at home
and not have to hurry. Then, too,
when evening comes we have the
excuse that it is our only evening at
home together. There are things I'd
like to see done differently in the
churches, but our difficulty is not lack
of faith, but lack of time and energy.
"The old habit dies hard in Mrs.
White: she still feels twinge of
conscience at every stroke of the
Sunday morning bell; she is careful
not to be seen at the window while the
church procession is vending it's
hating way past her house, lest other
members of the Clio club, of which
she is secretary, should see her in
weekday clothes. resting, and should
criticize. But it came to be a question
with her between William and the
church, between the day of rest with
him and the children, and day broken
into three useless parts by two church
services. She chose William and the
rest-and there are two seats in the
M. E. church which probably will not
be occupied again, except perhaps al
Christmas time or Easter.

The Rosetta Stone

The Rosetta stone was found in 1899
by a French engineer officer in an ex-
cavation made near Rosetta. 1t has
an inscription in three different lam
guages. the hieroglyphic, the demotic
and the Greek. It was erected 1876
B. Q. in honor of Ptolemy Epiphanes
because he RENTED the dues of the
priestly body. The great value of the
Rosetta stone lies in the fact that it
furnished the key whereby the Egyp-
tan hieroglyphics were deciphered.
