Want Merchants to Decorate.
All of the merchants Of Keokuk are
asked to decorate for the Shriners.
The committee is asking that all of
the merchants and the business houses
along the line Of march make a dis
play of the American flag. Shriners'
emblems and the Shriners' colors in
red, yellow and green banners, can be
obtained for decorations If the mer-
chants wish to do this much decorat-
ing All merchants, however, have
American flags and it is the wish Il
the committee that a big display Of
the colors be made at this time. There
will be visitors here from all over
Iowa, and from other states, and 1t is
up to Keokuk to make a good show
| ing. The merchants have always
been good about this decorating prop
osition, and the Shriners committee
| is expecting the same cooperation
this time
| The decorations should be put in
place by Thursday morning, SO that
| the street will have gala appearance
when the first of the candidates for
the journey over the burning sands
arrive.
Plenty Of Color.
| The decorations on the cross wires
will be unique and will add color.
The oriental tints in the Shriners'
colors, red, yellow and green, are suf-
/ ticient to insure something to attract
attention. The banners will bear the
Shrine emblem on the center strip OF
| color. and will be hung from the cross
wires.
| There is going to be something
doing when the Shriners and the can
didates come to Keokuk. The various
stunts which are being thought up for
the candidates are unique, and some
/ one is going to have a good chance
for a laugh. There's going to he
something doing every minute that
| the crowd is in town.
! The Kahoka band will arrive here
at 12:45 and will give several con
certs on the street before going int"
the parade.

TOMATO IS RULING
FAv0R|TE NOW
Popularity Of T his Vegetable Is Now
at it's Zenith and Many
Bushels Are Being
Canned.
SHIPPED YEAR AROUND
Bulletin Issued by U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, Shows Inter
esting Data on This
Phase.
SHIPPED YEAR AROUND

The succulent tomato always has
been a great favorite with the house
wives in Keokuk and at this season
Of the year their use reaches the hfgh
mark, although tomatoes are shipped
commercially from more than half
the states in the union from early in
the spring until late in the fall. There
is probably no other perishable veg
etable commonly grown out Of doors
which appears on the market through
a longer season than does the tomato.
Florida, with it's location and eli
mate, stands as the premier tomato
state and starts the tomato movement
each January. The northern states.
such as New York and Ohio, finish
the season in October, and by the time
the movement is over approximately
10000 cars are moved for table con-
sumption, according to a recent sur
vey made by the department Of agr!'
culture and published in bulletin,
Rail Shipments and Distribution Of
Fresh Tomatoes in 1914" The repor:
says:
Florida ships about half the to-
matoes moved $4,000 cars), with Mis-
sissippi, New Jersey and Texas hand
ling approximately 1900 cars apiece.
The other states grow tomatoes in
smaller quantities, but in certain dis.
tricts such as west Tennessee, tho
crop Is of great local Importance.
Twelve Thousand Cars.
The bulletin presents figures show
ing that a total of twelve thousand
cars were moved; but this by no
means represents the entire toma'
CROP. since an effort was made to ex-
clude those going to canneries and
Icatsup factories. When demand for
tomatoes in the market Is heavy 1t IS
more profitable to ship the tomatoes
which were originally intended for the
canneries, but if the market is weak
large quantities are offered for can
ming. l-
There are certain localities where
it is more profitable to raise toma
toes for canning than for table use
New York, Delaware and Ohio put the
bulk of their product into the can, sc
that the total used for this purpose is

 REMAIN FIRE CHIEF

The Mesa firemen are making a strong effort to retain C. Fred Bracket as fire chief MT Bracket has handed in his resignation. but il has not yet been acted upon by the council, and the members of the department hope to have the chief reconsider the resignation. They point to the fact that he is q man who is not afraid to lead his men. and that they are willing tC follow him because of the confidence he inspires Mir Brackets experience is valuable to the town. az is also his ability to hold his men. a number of whom say they will quit if he resigns.
 The boys are urging the property owners of Mesa to take steps to in duce the chief to remain on the job. pI oviGing him with improved facili- ties for fire fighting, and thus insure to Mesa a fire department of which thc people will have reason to feel proud. Tn view of the fact that the men who belong to the depart m' nj arc asking no reward for their work. their wishes should have weight with the property owners Of the City.

 'It |. estimated by the Goodrich com ranv." said an official. that the say ing to tire users. because of the general reduction of prices which followed tho publication of the 'F'air-List' will he no less than S15.0OO."oo year Ones first thought is that thesc figures can not possibly be correct. but tho theory on which thev are worked out by the Goodrich people becomes reasonable when it is explained
 This theory is interesting as well as instructive. Investigation has shown that theTs are in use in the United StsteG 1923 555 cars which are equipped with pneumatic tires. Estimating that each of these cars will require at least one full s@t of tires every year and that the average saving per tire owing to the general reduction inaugurated by the Goodrich company on it's Safety Treads is sac. it is found tha; g25.- e0C 900 IS well within the total saving that has been effected for purchasers.
