The election of officers, OF the Keo-

usually follows the election of direc-
tors has been postponed for week.
The directors considered the matter
OF an election yesterday afternoon but
decided to postpone the proceedings
for various reasons.
The Office OF president has been
rendered to G. r. Joy, the present In
cumbent. Mr.. Joy told the directors
that it might be that he would take
come special Y. M. G. A. work which
would keep him away from Keokuk
Tor about week every sixty days.
This fact, he thought, might work
against the interests Of the associa-
ton.

should he feel that it would be best
not to take the position OF chief exc.

of this other work, his successor will
be chosen.
At the present time Mr.. Joy is a
