.KE0KI)K FREIGHT RATES PUT
on PARITY WITH ST. LOUIS

cording to all information available
here the parity applies from St
Louis to Dubuque.
For many years the difference be-
tween the st. Louis and the Keokuk
rates on first class freight to and
from the seaboard have been about .
cents This has Of course been
handicap to the local shippers.
First Reduction In 1913.
July 81, 1918. information was re-
ceiyed from the interstate commerce
commission of the reduction OF this
difference of rates to two cents be-
tween Keokuk and st. Louis. Quincy
was put on the same parity with keo-
kuk in this change and her shippers
Immediately filed a protest and the
tariff was suspended. Last fall hear
ing was held on this protest and
Quincy fought to be given the ST.
Louis parity. Hannibal and Louisiana
of course joined in this as they would
reap the benefit as well.
The advices yesterday. however.
show that the slate has been wiped
clean. and that all of the cities have
been put on the st. Louis basis OF
1T percent. Beginning January 10,
1915, our rates to and from the sea-
board will be On parity with St.
Louis, Quincy, and the points up and
down the river.
Rate Decrease Shown.
Recently the interstate commerce
commission allowed the increase OF
FIVE percent to the railroad rates
This increase figuring on the rate
granted by virtue Of the Mississippi
would have kept the new rate still
about two cents higher than st. Louis
had the commission by this last rul-
ing not changed the basis and put
Keokuk on st. Louis parity.
By this order putting Keokuk and
other river towns on parity, the in
crease becomes only about two cents
where had the old rate and basis pre-
vaileS the increase would have been
something like four cents. This is a
big item to the shippers and will re-
suit in the saving of considerable
money Consequently the local bust
ness interests can feel that they have
not been neglected by Santa Claus,
even though he did wait until New
| Years to arrive.
+, Association Back of IL.
T! The Industrial association and the
| business interests Of the city sue
cessfully prosecuted the Mississippi
river case In 1918. The association
had for one of its prime aims the Sc
curing of more equitable rates. The
association has been making a fight
for ST. Louis parity. Both Of these
notable changes in rates are Of con-
| siderable importance to the business
interests Of the city and credit is due
those who helped to bring this change
about.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY
FEARS FINANCIAL DISTRESS

cry Of financial distress. 1t points

age. and its centenary celebration next
year. and asks whether II is to enter
on its great anniversary crippled in
work. and lcrhnDs weighed down with
debt 1t states. however. that the situa-
ton is that it must have more money
or there Will be fewer Bibles Its re-
ceipts from January to the end or
August fell off $4,000 as compared
with last year. Yet it says the demand
for Bibles was never so great as since
the war began. and since South Amer
lea looked more to North America for
cooperation.

ciety refutes vigorously the prevailing
impression that IL is rich A gift OF

n RATIONAL offices OF all religious
N bodies. Catholic and Protestant,
are busy this fall with efficiency
plans. Recovery has been had from the
panic following the beginning of the
war. Larger crops in America and
promise of better times have thrown
wide open scores of plans. Possible
givers Of money are being flooded with
appeals. There Is far larger coopcra-
tiOu between organizations OF the same
religious body, between Protestant
bodies. and even between Roman Catho-
lie and Protestant bodies than the oldest
inhabitant ever remembers in the past.
Catholic and Protestant cooperation
comes at one point at least. That is
in the religious schools plans that are
being worked out in several states.
Methodists are holding efficiency con-
ferences. These are confined to respect
i've district conferences and are led by
district superintendent, bishops attend
ing as they are able. Better methods
in Christian work larger results on
money gifts, and the saving of needless
efforts are discussed everywhere These
Methodist efficiency conferences in the
west and east cover most OF the month
OF October.
Baptists are applying efficiency meth
DDS to their 5000. 600 five year cam
paign. Cooperation Is being had with
the laymen's missionary movement IN
this cooperation practically all Protest
ant bodies are joining. A new Baptist
committee has been formed. every Bap-
list interest Is in It. and such cam
paign as Baptist churches never wit
messed before Is promised by the lead
ers.
Episcopal church leaders are also hold
ing efficiency conventions. Bishop Burch
