rabbis and ministers; boy scouts,
college students, church denomina-.

The long line OF marehers was
broken at intervals by floats and
nearly every group carried banners

showed their interest in the cause
to which they are pledged by wear
ms white and blue caps Inscribed on
one side with the Chicago motto. II

The parade was marshalled in
twelve divisions and the marchers
enlfvened the tedium Of the. hard
way by singing temperance songs as
they moved along.
The demonstration was planned
as a preliminary to 9 campaign to
put the wet or dry question on
the ballots at the next spring cleo
ton In Chicago.
Among the floats which attracted
particular attention was a huge auto
truck hearing a great basket in red,

BASEBALL FRANCHISE GOES
FRIDAY, DIRECTORS DECIDE
with the situation.

with the situation
Several committees started out to-
day to attempt to raise enough money
before the end of the Waterloo series
to carry the team through the rest Of
the season. They will not, they say.
accept merely enough to go on until
the Fourth of July or some other date
in the near future. 1t will be all or
nothing.
The outlook was none too encourag-
ing. Some of the directors were in
favor of making no further efforts to
raise money. believing the attempts
would be useless. Others asked that
one more attempt be made before
baseball Is lost to Keokuk for all
time.
Keokuk has been in the league since
it was first organized. It is one of
the two cities that have stuck through
thick and thin. Burlington Is the

tions that exist here today The
loyalty Of Burlington fans was nut to
the acid test when the directors there
went out to raise IS, 900 after the fans
already had contributed the amount
OF money that usually carries their
club through the entire season,
What Burlington Fans Did. s
Fraternal orders and organizations
of every kind came to the assistance
Of the Burlington directors. They not
only raised money for the club but
made every effort to increase the at
tendance at the games Today the
Burlington club returned from road
trip and second Opening day" was
held under the auspices OF one Of the
Burlington fraternal orders. Bands
were engaged for the occasion a half
holiday was given, big parade was
held before the game, and the attend
ance resulting was greater than that
at the first game of the season. In
dications are that the Red Sox will
continue through the season with fly
ing colors.
Whether or not Keokuk can rally
in the next three days to meet the
occasion now confronting the club re-
mains to be SEEN 1t is absolutely
the last chance merchants. business
organizations, fans and supporters of
the game will have to express their
desire of retaining the team. Those
directors who are hoping against hope
that the team can be kept here. are
placing their trust in the loyalty to
her institutions the people of Keokuk
have always shown in the past. There
probably is no city in the country OF
its size that can be as proud of the
loyalty Of its citizens as Keokuk.
