"ROAST HIM."

Never a day passes that the news
paper man is not stopped by someone.
who wants somebody or something
roasted" And always the news
paperman is expected to do the roast
ing" on his own responsibility. Al
ways is he urged under no circum-
stances to use the name of the person
who demands that the roasting be
done. 1t may be, that at some time
in the past, the newspaper was con-
sidered the official "roaster" of the
community and there have been news
papermen, who considered that roast
ing" as many people and things as
possible. was their sacred duty. They
fell to the task with avidity and de-
rived much greater pleasure from it.
than most people derive from perform
ing what they consider their duty,
saws the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
It is even possible. that a number
of the readers like that sort of stuff.
They get into the habit of scanning
the paper with that very thing in
view, and are disappointed If there is
no roast" in the issue OF their favor
tie sheet.
After all, that. is an entirely wrong
view. 1t is not the duty Of the news
paper to be common scold, a peren-
NAL fault finder, and after all nothing
Is accomplished by trying to be that.
And then 1t is ever so much more
pleasant to find things to praise. And
that is easy. 1t is happy duty to
attract the attention of the news gath
erer and that make for tho better
things in life. And he who follows
this course, after all comes nearer to
fulfilling the mission OF the news
paper, which Is to give faithful por-
trait of the everyday life OF tho COM
munity. the state and the world. The
"roaster'' inclines to the mistaken
view. that almost everything is bad
and Is growing worse. whereas In fact
the world is growing brighter and bet
ter every day. Instead Of asking the
newspaperman to roast" this or that
person or this or that state OF affairs,
how much better to call his attention
to some laudable enterprise. to some
thing that merits praise. And by so
doing. no doubt. better results are
reached in the long run, and the very
things may be accomplished, that can
not be done through mere fault-fnd-
ing and roasting"

at Pennington.

PENNINGTON, Oct. 12.-Vast audi
ences were in attendance at the union
evangelistic meetings being carried
on here by the Kepford-Nangle evan
gelistic party. Enthusiasm is running
high and perhaps in the history Of
Pennington there was never greater
interest in revival The large tent
in which the meetings were held last
week has been abandoned and today =

tabernacle. This crude temple Of wor-
ship illustrates the democracy of chris
tianity and will be dedicated Tues.
day evening If Evangelist Kepford
was popular as the director OF proven
tive medicine in Iowa, he is proving
even more so, If possible. as an evan
gelist. He appeals directly to men
and makes the religion Of Jesus at
tractive to them. His sermon to men
on Sunday afternoon on the Man
Worth While" was dramatic and full
of sensation. He drew from his ex-
periences as a lecturer in medicine.
But II the. afternoon discourse abound

Of the meetings, Is under the direction

taking kindly to the party and frankly
shows their appreciation. Keosauqua

How to Have tho Best Cough
Remedy and Save ~ By
Making It at Home

Cough medicines, as a rule contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with Y pint of warm
water, stirred for minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 2 II ounces
Pinex $50 cents WORTH pour into pint
bottle and fill the. bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives YOU, at q cost of only
81 cents, full pint OF really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for
S2.5O--a clear saving of nearly 81. Full
directions with Pinex. Il keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and conguers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
and heals and soothes the inflamed mem
branes IN the case of painful cough.
1t also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM

combined with guaiacol, and has been
used for generations to heal inf1amed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex," and
don't accept ANYTHING else. A guarantee
OF absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
ly refunded, goes with this preparation.

kEokUk RETAILERS LEAGUE.

There is a spirit of cooperation
existing among the members OF the
above organization that no one
would have thought possible several
years ago Instead of pulling in oppo-
site directions Keokuk's business
men are now all pulling in one direc-
tion-the direction of better and
larger Keokuk. There is no better
evidence Of this feeling than that
shown in the activities Of the men,
bers in everything that it has I'M
dertaken since its organization. 1t Is
truly an effective and efficient body
of men who are working and Manning
ito advance the interests Of this city
The suggestions made by the members
with reference to matters brought to
the attention of the league at the
Montrose meeting last night indicates
lively interest and an anxiety to get
the very best results from all move
ments that are undertaken. The
| league is growing because the inter
est of the individual members is
growing 1t is real pleasure to
note that such a friendly spirit pre-
vails-a spirit that assures success,
Window display contests, bargain
days, neighborly visits-everythinG
that the Keokuk Retailers League has
undertaken-has resulted in a salts
factory manner. 1t is fine record !;
due to the activities or competent
committees and the united support OF
the members. II 1t continues the
Keokuk Retailers League will accom-.
plish everything It starts out to do.
The decision at last evenings
Montrose meeting to hold a Thanks
giving Appreciation Sale" suggested
by Mr. Klein. was pertinent both in
time and in name. 1t il intended to
give the merchants an opportunity to
show their appreciation for the pat
I ronage given them and this they will
do by making exceptionally attrac.
tive prices.
This organization is not thinking
exclusively OF business. The closing
remark by President Justice In a
word of caution to automobile drivers
not to try and pass ono another on
the return trip home, shows the
physical and personal welfare side as
well as the commercial. The Mont.
rose meeting was Of real value.

The golden glow of all the evening

The evening lamp, What hale and
hearty cheer

one
who sees its welcome glow as he
draws near
The home place when the weary
day is done,
What fair songs it has made; what
N musings sweet
The memory of it has brought to
those ---..-. ---..
Who tradged through alien lands on
laggard feet
Ard unused of it when day came to
close!
Low in the east the first great star
Of night
Sweeps IN and up as onward speeds

And timed with it there comes the
mellow light
