ADJUSTMENTS.
Monday Music Club.

=
A cursory glance at the artists to
be brought here by the Monday Music
club this winter would leave one In
doubt as to whether the club would
not be more instrumental In creating
war interest in Keokuk than In pro-
noting the interests Of peace and
harmony which is its legitimate prov
ince.

periences at the front.

Children playing Nearby.


A tub of water had been brought to
wash the auto truck which Mr.. Rande'l
owns. There had been several bucket.
fulls emptied into the tub, and it was
believed to be about three and halt
inches deep. Some OF the children
were going to wash the truck and an
other group were playing nearby. Tho
baby evidently toddled over to the
tub and tumbled in head first, and the
water strangled its outcries.
A little sister, Esther Belle, three
years old. ran over to the tub, and
discovered the baby. She called her
mother and ran down the street to
call her father. He had left the house
shortly before and on his way back
had been called in by neighbor to
look at some work he was doing. He
ran home and found that first aid eff
forts were being applied.
Several doctors were notified and
RESPONDED at once. The Lungmotor
was used but 1t seemed that life was
extinct when the baby was removed
from the tub.
The baby is survived by it's mother
and father, four brothers and two
sisters, all living in Keokuk.

Engineers

Mrs. L. NJ Roberts of Oakland, Cal,
general organizer of the Ladies' Auxili-
ary to the International Union of
Steam and Operating Engineers, has
started a campaign for establishing To-
Gals throughout the jurisdiction. A let
ter received by Local No. of Denver
has interested sthe members and indi-
cations are that an auxiliary will be
formed here The letter outlines plan
as follows:
'At the convention the Ladies' Auxil-
iary of the /. u. S. & o. E. was organ
lied and officially recognized by your
convention. A full set of general Of
ficers were elected. constitution and
ritual has been drawn up and we are
now prepared to issue branch charters.
Our auxiliary is composed of lady rela-
tives of the members of the I. u. s. &
o. f. and is organized to get the fami'
lies of the members of the unions ac-
quainted with each other, to promote
friendship and sociability in our ranks,
to aid the needy. comfort those in dis
tress, visit the sick, to assist organized
labor in the purchase of union made
goods, to encourage our relatives who
are members of your organization to at
tend meetings regularly and in every
way further the objects Of your organi.
zation. Here in Oakland we have had
an Auxiliary to No. 507 for over
year and We have been able to do much
good and since your last convention two
branches have been organized in Chica-
90 and several more are about ready to
organize. The charter fee is $40, which
pays for charter, seal, books, etc, every
thing necessary to fully outfit branch
auxiliary Here we have assisted to
place union engineers in laundries,
creameries, department stores. etc, and
the same results can be obtained in
your city. In states where women vote
our auxiliaries can render effective aid
in assisting to defeat candidates who are
unfriendIy to organized labor and to aid
in securing favorable labor legislation.
We ask your local to take this matter
up and discuss same at several meetings
and we feel sure you will see the ad-
vantages of having an auxiliary and you
will be surprised to find how the at
tendance of your meetings will increase
and general all around improvement
in the local will be soon noticed. On re-
quest copy of our constitution will be
sent you-snd- d-nryy other information re-
qlested will be gladly furnished"

Through typographical error in last

of Ardourel's treason bill, when the very
reverse was true. O'Rourke has opposed
the treason" and "sedition" bills first,
last and all the time, and his name ap-
peared in another column of this same
issue of The Bulletin as among those re-
corded as voting against the sedition
bill, and appears in this weeks issue as
voting against the treason" bill, in the
official vote taken on the measure print
ed elsewhere. The Bulletin takes pleas
