Bass, who has been employed by the
city as consulting engineer in the erec-
ton of 100000 sewage disposal
plant, has been in the city for the past
few days. The plans were somewhat
altered and better fitted to the plat
Of ground, five acres in all, that will be
used as location Mason City will be
the pioneer in Iowa of disposal plant
of this magnitude. 1t will be Of the
Imhoff type and will be built large
enough to accommodate a city Of 30

before spring, the engineer estimating
that it will take nearly two years In
construction and getting in shape for
perfect operation. Professor Bass rec

ARRIVED By FREIGHT.

The way some OF the big boys try
to monopolize things is aptly illus
trated in front page story in Tues
days Chicago Herald, where the
Herald takes credit for suggesting that
the United States locate its munition
plants in the interior Of the country,
preferably at Rock Island arsenal.
The Herald announces in big type that
General Crozier, United States chief
of ordnance, approves OF the Herald
suggestion and considers Rock Island
arsenal an excellent place for big
plant.
The facts in the. case are that an
organization of the leading men of
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline,
spent considerable time and money in
working up this idea and that the
midwest conference on preparedness
which was held In Davenport a month
or more ago, was merely the climax
to A movement and to work that had
been in progress for several years.
The "Herald's suggestion was made
repeatedly to General Crozier and to
the war department several years be-
fore the Herald had ceased to be the
Record-Herald.
But in spite Of all this, It will doubt
less interest mid-westerners to know
that Crozier has finally come to the
conclusion that the midwest is the
proper place for munitions plants. The
: war In Europe has doubtless had some
thing to do with the discovery that a
district having New York for it's center
ana extending a paltry hundred and
fifty miles north. west and south, is
too near the sea coast to make it
safe; from the enemy. And yet the
great bulk Of the nations munitions
plants are within this restricted and
vulnerable territory.

MAN
DIES ON TRAIN
WENT TO kEOkUk TO CONSUL
DOCTOR; WAS STARTING
FOR HOME.

keokuk, Nov. 11.-After coming
from his home in Bonaparte and con-
sulting physicians who gave him little
encouragement Frank Wilson, aged
81, died on a Rock Island train while
waiting to start for his home. Police
Ofacer William M. Wilson Of this
city, who had been with his afflicted
brother during the afternoon, was
present and the train was held until
physician arrived.
1t was found that tho man died
from heart failure and this was the
verdict given by physicians. The
body was taken from the train and
local undertakers prepared 1t for
burial.
Mr. Wilson had been suffering from
heart trouble for some time. He was
In Keokuk last week seeking medical
aid. He returned home and his broth
er, w. M. Wilson of this city, visited
with him in Bonaparte last Monday.
Mr.. Wilson found that he was in a
serious condition and informed his
brother that he would be here Tues
day He arrived at IL o'clock and
consulted two physicians. He was in
formed, according to the statements
Of his brother, that he was afflicted
with heart trouble and was advised
to 60 to his home in Bonaparte at
once. He went to the depot and
boarded the train. A few minutes lat.
er he was stricken. "Mr Wilson sim
ply suffered a sinking SPELL" said a
train attache, and collapsed. He
died without saying q word"
This was not the first attack of
heart trouble that had been suffered
BY the man. He had been afflicted,
SO relatives say, for several years.
He had vainly sought relief and. de-
spite the warning Of his brother IN
this city, he left home and came to
Keokuk. When he arrived he found
that his condition was more serious
than he had believed.
The body was shipped to Bonaparte
Wednesday. The funeral services
will be conducted this afternoon from
the residence.

ENGLAND MUST BEHAVE.

The United States, It would seem
has better chances of making Great
Britain see our viewpoint regarding
interference with neutral commerce,
than it had in making Germany see
our viewpoint in the matter of sinking
merchant vessels without warning
This country had no peaceful means
of compelling Germany to "come to
time" With England it is vastly
different. Thanks to England's un
preparedness for war, that country Is
almost entirely dependent upon this
nation for war supplies from power
and shells to food and clothing. II
the United States wishes to insist
ENGLAND will find it pretty hard to per.
stst in policy that is obnoxious to the
United States.

Richland Hunters Take Part in Com
petitive Raid on Bunnies near
Grosseup

Another rabbit drive was pulled off
Sunday at the Grosscup ranch by a
rarty Of about fifteen Richland hunt
ers. A crowd was expected from Kio-
Ms but they failed to show up so it
was up to the local sports to do their
best to rid the neighborhood of all
these pests they possibly could. The
hunt started about eleven o'clock and
continued until about three, Harry
Wheelhouse rolling up the record score
for the largest bag of the day. Sides
were chosen with the understanding
that the loosing side would treat the
winners to a swell oyster supper in
Kennewick on Monday evening. In all
about $50 jack rabbits were killed but
probably more would have been
bagged, had not a party from Kiona
gone over the ground the previous
Sunday and killed everything in sight
end what they did not kill they scared
so badly that they are still under
cover.
The oyster supper in Kennewick
was all that the winners in their wild
est flights Of imagination could desire
and all present had a dandy time.

The auction sale last Saturday was
well attended and everything sold at
fair prices although the live stock
went much lower than at former sales
due to the fact that hay and grain
prices are soaring and the farmers
cannot afford to keep a big herd of
cattle or horses through the winter.
The farmers in the Richland district
who had good crop Of alfalfa last
season are the ones who are making
the good money this winter with. the
hay prices on the upward trend all the
time. Cows are selling very cheap
and if one has good supply Of hay
now is the chance to secure q good
cow at very low figure.
