PIONEERS MEET
ANNUAL REUNION TO BE HELD
THURSDAY At kEo-
SAUQUA.

Keosauqua, Sept. S.-The annual re-
union of the Van Buren, County
Pioneers association, one OF the most
prominent organizations of it's kind In
the middle west, will be held Thursday
in this city. The reunion will be held
in the shadow of the old court house,
which was erected in 1912 and has
been in continuous use since that year.
No other structure in Iowa has any
thing like the length of service to Its
credit. The county Is rich in historical
incidents and the reunions OF the
pioneers have taken prominent part
in the community life.
The president of the association and
the principal speaker on Thursdays
program ia Samuel V. Whitaker, who
was born in this county in 1885. On
the grounds will be Mrs. Edwin Mann
ing, whose husband financed the con-
strIction of the court house and for
forty years served the state as an en-
issary Of business to the banking ana
mercantile centers of New England.
Another prominent visitor will be Mrs.
Joseph c. Knapp, whose husband was
one of the truly great men Of Iowa. The
mother of Mrs. Knapp was sister OF
the late George c. Wright, United
States senator from Iowa, and
Joseph c. Wright, governor Of Indiana.
The association was founded at the
instance of Judge Wright soon after
the civil war and at an early meeting
he reviewed the character Of men and
women who founded and built the coun.
ty. He named some twenty men OF
note and characterized them as "keo'
sauuua's group of famous men," These
men once lived In or near Keosauqua
their homes yet stand there and the
graves of themselves or members or
their families are in the beautiful Gem
eteries.
The annual return to Keosauqua OF
old settlers now residing in other COM
munities and states constitutes regular
homecomings and from Des Moines
nearly always includes delegations OF
the families Of Wright, Nourse. Ebert
Twombly, Dawson, Keck. Irish. Lyon,
Rehkopf, Schramm, Tuttle and many
others.

ed into what might be called con-
spiracy in restraint of trade, but thus
far no indications have been found
against the proprietors by the COM
merce commission. as the aforesaid
proprietors are the only ones which
have suffered. The conspiracy men
toned consists in placards posted in
the stores which read: This store

$50 a. IN. and close at $50 p. m,

the 10000 employees. Five days
work with six days pay each week.
Surely there is nothing slow about
that when we recall the long hours
and small pay of few years ago.
There is also a beneficial society in
connection with each store and MEM
bership is compulsory among the
employees. Fifteen cents a week is
deducted from the pay of each clerk
for which they receive $3.50 per
week during sickness and their rel
atives get $50 in case of death.
The city supports several very fine
bands, which play in different parks
each night and sometimes in the af-

public buildings. a very fine band
Of forty pieces plays every night ex-
cept Sunday, the city furnishes 3 900
chairs which are always occupied and
about the same number of people
have TO stand. One night each week
is chorus night, on which occasion
a very celebrated choir leader is en-
gagged. The songs or hymns are
printed and distributed at the ex-
pense of the city and everybody is
expected to either sing, make noise
or move their lips as tho they were
singing. They generally elect to
sing and the music they make, led
by the full band is certainly inspir-
ing and 5000 voices doing their
best can be heard for long distance.

EXTRA FINE BALL
GAME AT OXFORD
Tigers of Summerfield With Tampa
Pitcher Played Against Conn
binatiOn Team

DinatIOn Team
Symmetrical, Aug. In one Of
the fastest AMI most sensational
games of baseball ever played in
Central Florida, was the one al the
Oxford barbecue held today.
Philip Alvarez, pitcher Of Tampa,
now playing with the Brewster team,
pitched the game for SUmmerfeld
Tigers" against a picked nine made
up o. two players from the Ocala
team, Pat Anderson and Raymond
Bullock. three Of the Oxford team
and the balance from the Coleman
nine. The Oxford team, which has
been beaten by the Tigers were de-
termined to put one over on Sum
merfeId, but the word was passed to
the Tigers and they were not long
| in securing the services of the best
pitcher in the state.
Alvarez not being sure OF his catch
er, Herb Ineson, started out with a
slow delivery, but soon found that
Ineson was on and from then on he
let out and one after the other the
players of the picked nine were fan
ned. Only twice was Alvarez hit,
and only once the ball left the dia-
mond 1t was most brilliant game
for Alvarez, and as he famed the bat
tiers, the more than 1000 spectators
went wild over his seemingly easy
task. We doubt if there is any pitch
er of the major leagues who could
have done better.
Tampa may boast of having a
livers a perfect ball, who is cool and
never loses his head, who smiles at
the batter as he fans the air and
who fools the player with a different
curve. There is no doubt about it,
this boy, is a wonder and splendid
material for any of the major league
clubs

There is no getting around it, the
Tigers are ball players and each
member of the club deserves the
highest praise and with impartia
umpiring it takes a cracker jacl

game, are fast players and their de
feat at Oxford was no fault of thei
own, but from bad decisions.
The Summerfield people and play
ers do not like to call in outsid
players, but they were compelled t.
do so in self defense. The Tiger
have won 10 out of "a games an

AN EAsiLY-MADE ELECTRIC BELI
OUTFIT.

The homemade electric bell shown
in the illustrations Is very simple in
construction, and is made OF only such
materials as are easily obtained.
The working principle of an electric
bell is this: When the push-button Ia
pressed, the current from the bell bat
terry passes along the bell wire and
through coils of wire mounted upon
the bell base. These coils of wire are
wound around cores of soft iron, and
when the current passes around and
around through. the many turns of
wire the cores become magnetized
and together form a horseshoe mag
net This magnet draws the belt
hammer arm, or "armature." towards
II. Then, the instant that the arma-
ture is pulled away from the little adj
justment screw that presses against
It. the electrical connection is broken,
the horseshoe magnet loses its mag
netic influence. and the armature
springs back TO IT'S former position
against the adjustment screw. This
closes the circuit" then the current
flows through the magnet coils again,
and the armature is drawn away from
the screw as before.
The horseshoe magnet is the first
portion of the bell to make. Get two
Il -inch or 5-16-inch carriage butts 21s
inches long for the iron cores, and II
pound of ordinary insulated electrical
bell wire. Also buy four Il inch bolt
washers for the ends OF the magnets.
Slip two washers upon each bolt, and
screw the nut onto the end, tempo
rarily, Before starting to wind the
wire upon the bolts. slip four or five
inches of the end through the hole of
the washer on the nut end of the bolt;
then carefully wind the wire around
the bolt between that washer and the
