Fifty-two Displays Much
Better Than Those Which
Were Shown Two
Weeks Ago.
SEVERAL NEW FEATURES
General Attractiveness and
Appearance Of Stores is In
creased Since First
of Contests. II

Novelty window displays, together
with a marked improvement in all
lines over the windows offered two
weeks ago, were the features Of the
second window display contest, which
was conducted yesterday, under the
auspices Of the Keokuk Retailers
league There we're some half dozen
or more windows with truly novel
displays. And the general opinion
seemed to be that the windows yes
terday had surpassed those OF the
first contest, in every way.
The windows all attracted crowds,
groups gathered before each display
and the comments which were passed
were more or less interesting and en-
tightening. The general tone of such
comment, however, was that this con
test brought out some exceedingly
good windows, and that in nearly
every case surpassed the efforts Of
two weeks ago.
The three judges. Miss s. Elizabeth
Matheney, A. w. HUDSON and Joseph
Carwalho wera on the job early in the
morning. That they had hard days
lob before them, they all realized.
The judges made two trips, one in
the daytime and another in the even
ing. and besides this they inspected
the general appearance of the stores
in thorough fashion. There were
hfty.two entrants IN the contest, and
everyone who looked at the windows
with anything of critical eye will
youch for the statement that the
Judges job was no sinecure.
Decision Monday Morning.
One Of the points which entered In
to the Judging probably was just what
rating novelty windows would have.
There could be little doubt of their
attractiveness. The sales value OF
such windows probably would not be
the easiest thing in the world to dis
tinguish. al - r. = Y - Z
Good weather prevailed for the sec
ond contest, and although there was
sharp wind blowing most OF the
afternoon, the crowd on the street
was not affected by this feature. Both
of the contests have brought the
crowds to the stores, and this is one
of the good features Of the contest, |
the interest which is being aroused
in the various stores.
The contest committee will meet to- |
morrow morning to go over the
judges reports. It is not expected
that the results will be known much
before noon on Monday. That the
percentages will be close, and that
there may be a pretty close race for
the money and ribbons for this con-
test is the opinion which is very gea-
orally expressed

impression on the people here by
their pleasant demeanor and
gentlemanly conduct, and some

The Frenchburg Band reflects
credit upon our neighboring town
and shows what people united
can do. A great deal of the
credit for the organization and

to DR.. Weidler, the principal o,
the school at that place, who has

The Barbecue and Speaking.

To a crowd of about two thous-
and people Hon. H. V. McChes-
ney made one of the best speeches
ever delivered here last Saturday.
The speaking was held at High
land Park just after the crowd
had regaled itself with a fine
dinner of beef and burgoo.
Mr.. McChesney is very popular
in Morgan county and always has
large crowds, and he was in fine
fettle and made one of his
characteristic speeches toan audi
ence that thoroughly appreciated
it.
The crowd was orderly and ex-
ceedingly good humored and the
day was an outing and holiday
for the people from all over the
county. The Frenchburg Cornet
Band, which is, by the way, one
of the best in Kentucky, was
present and furnished music that
delighted the people and added to
the pleasures of the big rally.
Mr.. Frank Kennard, of the
county, introduced Judge M. M.
Redwine who made a short talk
in his own behalf and then intro
duced Mr.. McChesney, who held
the crowd for nearly two hours
with his appeals to the people to
support the democratic ticket
from top to bottom and it was
with seeming regret that the big
crowd broke up at last.
A special train was waiting at
Index and Mr.. McChesney, ac-
companied by several hundred
people and the band went to Can
mel City where he delivered
another speech to a crowd that
packed the Saints Tabernacle
between Caney and Camel City.

Of course I've never been a dog
