still exists near Warren in Harrison

made to a Fort Madison reporter. by
DR.. F. H. Dierker. OF West Point,
county physician, who was visitor
in Fort Madison.
The crusade pursued by Or. DER

already reached great proportions be-

most effective fights ever waged
against threatened epidemic in the
county Where at least sixty cases
existed six weeks ago. today the one
convalescent case IS gaining the at

The physician lays his success In
combating the disease 80 effectively
to the fact that the residents OF the
county observed the quarantine es-

tion Asking its Observance

rs NATIONAL. MOVEMENT
Circular Received From ofsice Of the
President Of the National Corn
rnunlty 6etterment
Association.

Keokuk win celebrate ~Commun-
| ity Day" on October 3. Mayor Moor
head viii issue q proclamation some
day next month calling attention TO
the coming event, explaining Its
meaning and advising its being kept
by those who are interested In the
new movement, which has now OBJ
tanned a national scope.
The mayor has been asked to make
this proclamation In communica-
ton received here today from Ben h.
Vardaman Of Des Moines, president
OF the National Community Better
ment association.
According to tho announcement.
the association has designated Sun-
day. October 8, as Community Day, "
to be observed throughout the nation.
On this day all patriotic citizens are
urged to unite In promoting commun-
fty welfare. Ministers have been
asked to consider the subject from
their pulpits and all citizens are
urged to cooperate by attending
church and asking their friends to
do likewise.
The following extract is from q cir
cular issued by the association: You
have an influence. an opportunity.
dUQ IcSpOu6iOllIIy On your COu-
munity-to do your part In making
the day worth while. Say good
word about your community shake
hands with your neighbor-go to
church-unfurl flag.
There is no subject Of greater
moment to the American people to-
day than that OF local community
building and betterment, as our ma
tfonaI citizenship can never rise
above the standard Of citizenship IN
the local community.
sOn Community day. people of all
classes. business men, ministers. edu-
Gators, professional men, farmers, la
borersin fact all who are interested
in the welfare OF the home town and
community. are aeked to cooperate
IN making the day a memorable one.
There II probably no town or
community anywhere In our country
in which the people do not feel the
necessity OF making that town and
that community the very best In the
world for them TO live In. and yet
there has bean no organized and con-
certed movement looking toward the
lbetterment Of local communities. And
the national association feels that
the spirit Of this day should be
heartily entered into by patriotic eiti-
zens everywhere.
