SECURITY LEAGUE
PLAN CONSIDERED
Meeting 10 Held Yesterday to Formu-
late Plans for Bringing This
Matter to Attention.
Of People.
COMMITTEE IS NAMED
Public Meeting May BE Called If
This Body Sees Fit-objeet 10
to Support Administra-
tion and Get Army.

An, organization of the National Sc.
curity league in Keokuk was consid.
cred yesterday afternoon at meeting
held in the Office of John E.. Craig.
Major D. B. Hamill was made chair
man of the meeting, and F. c. Overton
acted as secretary. Others who were
present were the mayor, Capt. J. F.
Daugherty and Capt. A. H. Evans.
The officers together with John e.
Craig were made a committee to con.
slider plans for organizing a branch OF
the league here and may call pub
lie meeting in the future, for this pur.
pose.
The National Security league Is a
New York organization originally. II
is for the purpose of supporting the
president and the administration IN a
crisis such as has arisen IN the Lusf.
tania incident. It will also draft reso.
lutions to congress, asking that steps
be taken to increase our defenses.
The idea is TO have an organization
in every city, where it is possible to
organize. With the names of infiuen.
tial citizens from the various com.
munities attached to petitions. it is
believed that congress VIII take steps
to enlarge the army and navy, and to
put it on such footing that it will be
respected by other nations.
The committee which was appoint.
ed yesterday will hold a meeting to
decide on what course to pursue. It
is planned, however, that pubic
meeting will be called, and the mat
ter brought to the attention OF the
people then.

buildings will be put up as soon as Il

The Iowa weather and crop serv-,
ice bulletin for the week ending July
~ has just been issued as follows:
Another cool, cloudy and wet week
has greatly retarded having, harvest
ing and the cultivation of corn, and
the wet weather and winds resulted
in considerable damage to standing
grain that Is ripe The average tenn
perature was about 4 degrees below
the normal and the rainfall was in
excess Of the seasonal average IN
nearly all parts Of the state. The last
three days, however, were moderator
warm and more favorable for cora,
which Is now making rapid growth,
although still small and late. Hayins
and harvesting progressed In favored
localities. but over much of the via
ter wheat area the fields were too wet
and soft for working binders. Farm
ers are now resorting to cradles and
gasoline driven binders to save one of
the largest wheat crops ever produced
in the state Other small grains are
filling well, but there is considerable
complaint of rust in and lodging of
oats. Early potatoes, garden truck
and pastures are in excellent c0ndi-
ton.

years eleven, who 10 to assist Bob Fol-
we'll this year In priming Washington
and Jefferson's forces, will be In town
In a week to look over the preliminary
duties of coaching. Folwell will arrive
here in time to start duty on September

son begins.
When surrounded by an enthusia site

Jefferson's chances for winning team
this year are. Assistant Coach Cruik-
new material will make the loss Of
Red Fleming and other stars of last
years aggregation less keenly felt The
prospects for a stronger team than la st
year arc bright, said Cruikshank.
Members OF last years squad will be
pleasantly surprised. 1t Is believed when
they see the improvements made both
on the field and grandstand on the coll
lege grounds. The advance sale of sea a
for r.this season was SO large that a new
grandstand had to be constructed which
would accommodate several thousand
more spectators than did the old grand
stand
An early start is hoped for this year
as Lafayette Is to be played on October
Q. and as Coach Folwell, Of Washington
much rivalry is felt between the two
teams. Folwell Is eager to defeat his
former proteges in order to convice the
Lafayette authorities that they made a
mistake In displacing him with another
coach.
