WHAT RED cRoss SEALS 90.

Every red cross Christmas seal that
is sold is q real bullet In the fight
against tuberculosis. These seals last
year helped to support thousands OF
needy tuberculosis patients and to give
them a chance for life. They provided
for many visiting nurses, whose hun
dreds OF thousands of visits brought
instruction and cheer to numerous pa
TENTS They helped maintain dispen-
saries in scores of cities from the Al
lantic to the Pacific, where thousands
of consunptive patients received fres
treatment, aid and advice. They pro-
yided the means to purchase millions
OF copies of circulars. pamphlets and
other literature with which the public
has been educated about tuberculosis.
They have established and helped to
maintain more than 500 open ale
schools for children who need open air
treatment. These are just q few OF
the ways In which the $550,O00 receiv-
ed last year was expended. This year
a million dollars is needed. Surely
any one can help by buying at least
ten seals!

The press dispatches announce the
appointment Of w. c. Maxwell as
vice president OF the Wabash railway.
The news is particularly pleasing in
Keokuk as Mr.. Maxwell Is a Keokuk
boy and his advancement In the rail-
way world has been followed with
interest and satisfaction by his
friends. 1t is admitted in railway
circles that Mr. Maxwell is among the
foremost in traffic management and
his services have been required on
matters OF the utmost Importance at
fecting rate situations. His presence
before the interstate commerce COM
mission as representing the railroad
interests, indicates the opinion OF rail-
way managers respecting his ability.
The opinion Of Keokuk Is that Mr..
Maxwell is well qualified to not only
fill the new position to which he has
been elected, but any position that
might be offered to him in railway
operation. The Gate City is pleased
to chronicle his promotion and
hopes he will receive more of them.

20 PER CENT INVESTMENTS.

<
A famous capitalist writing to Ida
NJ. Tarbell. In the December Ameri-
can Magazine, says:
There Is no man in the world that
can honestly say that he can invest
money and be certain OF permanent
large returns. The big dividends
come from speculative ventures, and
nobody should make them unless thew
are willing and able to lose all they
put in. had thousand dollars sent
me today from woman who wants
twenty per cent. I cannot place 1t SO
that I can be sure she will perma-
nently get six per cent. 1t IS all she
has In the world. haze no right to
lose it, and 1 shall got do it; / shall
return the money II she could af-
ford to lose 1t. that would be another
thing.
There is only one safe way for
people to invest-and that is to
chose sound. conservative bonds or
stocks, and that after consultation
with trustworthy brokers or bankers.
In the long run it will be worth much
more to them than the uncertain
large dividend, but nobody believes
me: they all think that if / would, l
could make fortune for them. When
L send this thousand dollars back the
last thing this woman will do will be
to thank me-"

Voice Of the Poop e
Wants Government Supreme.

To the Editor OF The Gate City:
The writer's individual opinion IL,
that in time Of peace be prepared for
war" But in the settlement of the
present great world or European war,
or even before these wars are closed,
should we unfortunately become en-
tangled in the multiplicity of disputes
with any of these great powers to
maintain our just rights, and unfor-
tunately become involved in war,
this government should have full pow
er to take over and use any or all
railroads and water transportation
lines as well as all private manufact-
uring plants In the United States that
are now or can. be used for the manu-
facture OF arms. ammunition, battle
ships and all other auxiliaries per-
tanning to the manufacture of anything
used In modern warfare. together with
the use OF all or any Of the patents
they are manufactured under Pro-
yiding satisfactory arrangements can
not be made with the owners or cor
'porations controlling these plants and
the patents. The government shall
pay and reimburse the owners of these
plants at a reasonable price for their
use. And / would further suggest that
In future all patents granted by con-
gress shall reserve the right for this
government to use the same without
compensation to the inventor or pat
entee, same to be used only for the
exclusive use of this government

The total acreage OF wheat this
year Is 60,000,o00. This is equivalent
to the total acreage Of the following
states: Maine. New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New York and Pennsyl-
vania, says the Christian Herald. On
this great wheat farm it is estimated
that 10000 men hive been employed
this season, who have received at the
least calculation $1,soo.O00 for each
weeks service in the fields. At this
writing wheat is quoted in the Chica-
go market at $1.05 per bushel: to call
1t 81 will make 1t easier figuring.
That would give us for the 1915 crop
value of $4,000, 900.
