MAY LAND DIRECTORS
ON RESEVE BOARD
Probably Two When Announce
ment 10 Made.

It is generally believed that Iowa
will have one and possibly two rep
resentatives on the Chicago federal
reserve board. -Four Iowa bankers
have been nominated for director in
class A which requires an active ma
tional banker. Nine business men
have been selected for class B in
which the demand is for candidates
not banker but interested in agri-
culture or commerce. The full list OF
candidates has been tabulated by the
organization committee. says the Des
Moines Capital.
The banks are divided into three
groups. The first group includes the
big national banks. Group two in
cludes national banks having CAPT
tai and surplus of from $4,000 to
$4,000. Group three includes the
smaller national banks.
Iowa's banker candidates are run.
ming in group three. They are E l..
Johnson of Waterloo, J. G. Rounds OF
Des Moines and A. F. Dawson of
Davenport. Iowa bankers are of the
opinion that they stand better
chance Of securing candidate on the
reserve board in the third class mas
much as two big bank presidents,
George M. Reynolds and James B.
Forgan Of Chicago are strong candi-
dates in class one and two.
In class B which demands a candd'
date who is not banker, Iowa has
nine candidates. Those In group one
are Robert Fullerton of Des Moines,
M. B. Hutchinson OF Ottumwa, Clar-
ence A. Knapp of Sioux City and
George Mclean Of Dubuque. The can
didates in group two are M. B. Hut
Crimson Of Ottumwa; A. B. Funk Of
Spirit Lake, member OF the state
board of education Owing to the
fact that big city bankers are candi-
dates in group one and two 1t is be-
lieved that Iowa's best chances is in
group three, although its candidates
have received votes in the first two
groups.
It is generally believed that Iowa
will get a director in class A, group
three and class B for the first or sec
ond group Of banks.

True Worth Of Man.

Proverbs says, by the blessing OF
the upright the city is exalted" A
good, true, righteous man Is benefit
to city. Ills own personality may be
worth thousands to a community 1t
is not the man who is rich that adds
TO the welfare Of q city. He may own
banks, factories, stores and palatial
homes, and yet prove dead weight
to a town. The second part Of the
verse we quoted, tells this. 1t says.
"but it is overthrow by the mouth of
the wicked" 1t Is what a man is for
true worth, for integrity, for nobility
of purpose that constitutes his citizen
ship, for good or bad Where mans
ideals are loose, his character de-
praved he does not render real serv-
ice to a community whatever his
wealth may be- Water seeks its own
level" and the level of community
is it's citizenship, aud to that level the
community may go. Factories. rail-
ways, architecture, schoolhouses.
churches, will not of themselves exalt
a city. It takes virtue, integrity, dill.
gence to do that.-Ohio State Journal.

TWO FIRE ALARMS
THIS AFTERNOON
One was an Automobile and the Other
was Nothing More Than
Smoke from a Chimney.

The fire department answered two
alarms shortly after two O'Clock this
afternoon. The first was still alarm
sent in at 2;10 when an automobile
belonging to Smith Hamill caught
fire on Main street between First and
Second. The fire was put out by the
time the department arrived. The
second alarm was sent In at 2:3O
from PIT Johnson street. Smoke from
a chimney in the building where some
one was burning paper caused some
one to think the building was on fire
and they sent in an alarm.

It is predicted that simplicity will
reign supreme in the fashion world by
the end or before the end OF the season.
It has often been noted that season
Of extremes, is usually followed by one
of plain, simple ideas.
The frock of white gabardine shown
in Number 1864, is an unusually plain
but highly attractive model for summer
wear; it is an Empire dress, closing in
the back and having Wrecked peasant
bodice. The deep princess yoke over
which is draped a slightly gathered
girdle is unique feature and the in
verted v at the bottom of the skirt is
sufficient trimming.

e.,t. Law Regarding Use Of Fire
crackers and Other Fire Works
to be Enforced
strictly.
TWO BASEBALL GAMES
r,eursions, PIenIcs. Baseball ana
other Forms Of Amusement
Will be Popular In
Keokuk.

safe and sane Fourth of July Is
heing urged by city officials. While
No special action has been taken by
the city council on the matter, the
state law regarding the use of fire
crackers and other fire works will be
enforced. This law prohibits the use
n any are crackers over Ave inches
IN length or over three fourths of an
inch thick, the use of percussion caps
IN toy pistols and certain other class
es of dangerous fire works.
Instead Of riotous, nerve-racking
noisy Fourth, 1t is believed that Keo-
kuk will have the kind OF day that ts
being urged the country over by city
officials and the big men OF the day.
Picnics, baseball games, excursions,
and dances will furnish the entertain
ment for most Of the people Of this
city.
The baseball game at the league
hall park promises to be one OF the
most popular attractions. Clinton and
Keokuk will meet in double-head ~.
The two teams have nearly equal
standings in the percentage column
and there is quite bit OF rivalry BE-
tween them. The ball games should
draw the largest attendance OF the
year.
Besides the ball game there will be
many picnics at Rand Park and other
places in the country near the city.
The ST. Marys picnic will have as
large an attendance probably as any
other. There will be several excur-
sions out of the city on river steamers.
There will be two excursions to Bluff
Park where preparations for big day
are being made. Boats for Bluff Park
viii leave at $3.50 in the morning and
2:sO In the afternoon. There will be
8 number Of excursions to this city
from other points during the day.
Owners of launches and motor boats
will probably be the most popular peo-
pie in the city on the Fourth. Prac-
tically every motor boat owned by To-
cal people will be put IN use for this
occasion A number ofparties are ex-
pecting to make trips to other cities
in their boats

NEW YORK, July Nothing OF
striking importance developed to af-
fec. stock market prices today. The
Pennsylvania, New York Central and
one or two other roads made an I'm.
favorable showing Of May earnings,
with heavy declines in gross which
were only partly offset by a reduction
In expenses so that net earnings for
the months were relatively small. Be-
fore some of those exhibits were pub
lished, the recovering tendency fol-
lowed fractional decline a. the open
ing.
In the last hour, most of the low
prices were made. On the decline
however, the market was very quiet,
some active shares showing losses of
from u to l from yesterday. Trading
was very dull and there was ut no
time signs of real weakness.
No unusual developments marked
the opening of the new fiscal year in
.he money market. There was no
trouble in handling the immense vol
ume Of dividend payments and al
though some banks withdrew tempor-
arily from the time loan market, other
institutions experienced difficulty in
finding profitable employment for the
large sums received in payment of
shor. term note issues that matured
today. Interior banks again appeared
in the market as buyers of paper,
there being fairly broad demand for
the best securities.

All river cities and towns In Mis-
souri, were advised by the State Board
of Health Tuesday to make ready for
campaign for the determination OF
rats to prevent the possible spread OF
bubonic plague
This action is the result of tele-
graphic warnings received Monday
night from Surgeon General Rupert
Blue, at Washington, that two suspect
ed cases Of bubonic plague have de
veloped among humans at New 0-
leans. DR.. Blue fears that rats car
rying plague germs may make their
way north on steamboats,, and conse-
quently he has telegraphed the boards
Of health Of every state along the
Mississippi river to be prepared to
take immediate action.
Settles and individuals should not
wait for confirmation of the bubonic
plague cases at New Orleans before
beginning campaign to exterminate
rats" said DR.. ]. A. A. Adcock, secre-
tary of the Missouri board Of health
upon receipt Of DR.. Blues telegram &C
cording to st. Louis paper. "They
should act at once. Rats should be
killed or trapped" meteorological ex-
aminations of rats captured should be
made to determine If any caught in
Missouri are sick from bubonic plague.
1.-THE disease is transmitted from
the rats to human beings through the
flea. A flea will cling to rat SUI
fering from bubonic plague, and when
the rat dies Of the disease, the flea
fas.ens itself upon human being
transmitting the germ from the rodent
to the human"
DR.. Adcock said there were about
2O8, 600 bubonic plague cases in China
and India last year, and that $4,000
died. Siberia, he said. ia the home OF
the disease There 1t is chronic
among prairie dogs, which contract
the disease, but do not die from it.
They are the bubonic carriers.

requesting that action by local health
authorities be taken at once. The mat
