WILL ORGANIZE CLUB

Keokuk will be a motorcycle mecca
today. A meeting will be held this
morning at $3.50 when the organiza-
ton Of a local motorcycle club will
be peri scted. The meeting will be
held at COS Main street. Approximate
ly thirty-f1ve members Of the Quincy
Motorcycle club will arrive in the
city some time during the morning.
A large delegation is also expected
from the club at Burlington.
There are a large number Of riders
in this city who are anxious to see
club organized here. The plans are
to affiliate with the F. A. NJ, ma
tional organization undsr which all
races Of Importance are held. Club
runs to different cities in this vic.n-
ity are planned for the summer.
May Promote Race Meet.
With representatives hare from
Burlington and Quincy, it is not I'M
likely that officers of the three clubs
will get together with a view to pro-
noting races to be h cid this summer,
in which repres antatives of the three
clubs will compete. Keokuk would be
the ideal place for a racing meet OF
this kind, and a run up the Lakr
Cooper boulevard would make an
ideal course.
This afternoon thu riders will as
semble down town and line up for a
picture. The picture will be taken
ct about 1880. A run to Nauvoo dur
ing the afternoon will probably be
made.
Quincy Man Well Known.
The men from Quincy will be head
ed by Carl Futt arer. prominent en-
thusiast OF. that place. Among those
who will come on the run will be
Jos. Esler. one Of the best known
motorcyclists of the country. MI
Esler has toured over the greater
part of the United States and Europe
on his machine and has written many
articles that have been published In
trade magazines He is at present
planning an extensive tour or Japan
and Asia and will start some time
this fall.
1t is not known just how many will
come down from Burlington, but 1t is
thought that there will be quite
large representation from the city up
the river. The roads are in good con-
dition and if the weather is favorable
conditions will be ideal for the trip.

Some of the autos were run free, but mostly they were hired for money and tIds in afcountry town is not plentiful, politically. One leader, noticing the number of horse owners who came to the polls in hired autos said: ssIt is not right: all wrong. But the idea has got such a hold that I'm afraid it cannot be abolished, misuse and aI1.'s sOnly chump will throw down an auto rfde.''
 The Farmer recently printed that H. J. Lord, proprietor of the extensive White Wing poultry farm at Mon and so forth This has gone the rounds of many newspapers and poultry periodicals. Now, Mir. Lord frequent ly receives letters asking for details and descriptions, but he is too modest or unassuning to divulge as yet. So a, Farmer writer got next to the siIo construction and found that it was metal built and of cube form, large or small. In this is packed green stuff of eating quality, poultry food, etc., warranted to keep' fresh. The food is released for feeding No. Not like a nickle in the slot affair or a gas slotter. There's an automatic clock arrangement that drops the proper chicken rations at a. m. and D. m
 Then like 8 cuckoo tiInepiece 1t chor- ties out, "ChickI chick! chfck-chick'' and they hot-foot it, or wing it, for their eats. A megaphone attachment sends the call to chickens who have gone across the street or have wan dered afar. With the silo, a. poultry raiser can go away from home, lie abed in the morning and not worry It cer- tainly beats all the other get-ups of the present century for chicken care and cultivation.

 | Monroe, Nov. 12-Monroe dual fall elections have gone into the discard but the old town is still on the map. though there are traces of a. mourning band around it. There is somewhat | of an aftermath to things political and others. Propositions are mostly concerned with possibility of a nnixi1p, ere all is settled. You see-s'pose you Edo-that Town Clerk Stiles M Clark possibly, will move from town to re- side in Stratford, where he has bought a. house. Now, his term of office here does not expire until January 1, 1916- Probably, if he moves, he will come here as at present to be in his office at town hall Tuesdays and Fridays. So if this goes, there is t'some talk of appointing an assistant town clerk, mainly to look after the hurry-up things should MT. Clarke be away. It's a long, long way to Stratford, when a marriage license is wanted and other things Now, a little bird twitters it that should an assistant clerk be ap- pointed, he should be a Dernocrat-of the same faith as MT.
