Iowa Falls Short,

Statistics which the association has
been able to gather show that in the
sale of Red Cross seals last year
Iowa. which is first in many respects,
ranked twenty-sixth in the sale OF
stamps Where in other states the
sales averaged at least three to a per
son, Iowa fell down badly. Keokuk's
figures were way below this per capl
ia, the returns show. ,
An effort will be made this year to
bring the sale to more successful
end and to interest everybody in Keo
kak in purchasing the seals. The
money for this work will be spent
here in keokuk and inIowa for the
stamping out OF the disease.

DECLARE IT'S
FOE OF REAL M. o.
Would Disrupt Street
Car Union, It's
Claimed

The campaign committee OF the
Detroit Federation Of Labor has Is
sued the following statement rela.
tive to the street car purchase plan:
Ito the Working Men Of Detroit:
80 that there may b no misap-
prehension Of the stand that organ
ised labor takes on the proposed
d. U. r. purchase plan and amend
ment to the city charter which you
will be called upon to decide by
your votes on Nov. 2. we ask you
not to be misled by assertions pub
lished in the Detroit News to the
effect that labor is split on this
question.
I'VE ask, also, that you be not
misled by the interviews with so
called labor leaders given in. that
paper.
"The only men indorsing the fake
municipal ownership plan who have
been in any way connected with the
labor movement are men who are
holding political appointments or
who are seeking public Jobs and
who have tried to use the labor
movement to secure political Jobs.
Labor has time and again been
misled by this class of people. but
now, at least. these political self
seekers have failed In their efforts
to divide the workingmen with their
falsehoods.
I'm the meeting Of the Detroit
Federation Of Labor last Wednes-
day evening, when upwards Of 200
delegates were present, . report
was received from the iegislative
committee which reafirmed the
stand labor already had taken on
this question. This report was con-
Cured In. only two delegates voting
against II.
Later. when a motion was made
that the committee be directed to
have no further conferences with
the city hall until after the election.
there was but one vote against II.
I'VE ask you to discredit any as
sertion made by paper which does
not hesitate to magnify a meeting
of 200 men into one Of 700.
"rhe Detroit Federation Of Labor
opposes the ID. U. r. purchase
scheme, not only because II would
knife the street car mems union
which In itself should be SUFFICIENT
for all workingmen-'but also be-
cause It IL q blow at real municipal
ownership and against the interests
Of all the people.

Falling In love with ones wife
seems much more alluring to some

Of getting It over with before the
wedding. II adds certain piQuancy
to the situation which tho old fash
toned counting does not have. The
author Of "Bambi." Marjorie Benton
Cooke, likes this sort OF thing and
has tried II In two books that we
know Of. Her heroines are very
bright and winning creatures who
make huge successes Of themselves
without much effort. and they seem
to have a psychic insight into the
hearts Of men. which brings said
men eventually to their feet. "The
Dual Alliance" is q new story about
q woman who concludes to commit
suicide because she liz lonely" Her
lawyer averts the awful catastrophe
(which might never have come on
by throwing himself into the breach
and marrying her, and instead Of the
