Holtville Tribune: Since Seeley, with
the proper degree of gravity, has in
vited the county to slash itself in
twain and make it the capital of the
new county, we may expect dispatches
like the following to come in:
Flowing Wells, Jan. 27-"County di-
vision is the real Mccoy" said one of
cur most prominent politicians today.
at would afford a few juicy plums
for the boys. There's Ed Smith-he'd
make a jolly sheriff. Pioneer jim
Slapp is my idea of a good super
visor, while 'Wheezy JIM Crease is
the logical candidate for assessor"
The p. p. went on to select the rest
Of the slate. All, when interviewed by
the Bladdersbatt today, said they
would serve without one penny of pay.
Conant, Jan. 27.-The chamber of
commerce of Conant in Joint session
with the Conant commercial club to-
day adopted resolution inviting I'M
perial county to split itself any old
way, as long as Conant is selected
as the county seat. The chief ad-
vantage Conant has to offer is that
its skyline and Landscape are not now
cluttered up with buildings, allowing
of a beautiful architectural treatment
in line with the most advanced thought
of the proponents of the civic idea
We invite the new county to build
group of buildings, symmetrically ar
ranged, in Conant city park.
Alamorio, Jan. 27.-"Give US the
county seat and we will magnanimous
ly consent that the new county shall
rot be. known as Alamorio," is the
gist of ringing resolutions adopted by
the city trustees last night. This proves
that Alamorio has no selfish interet
Iir the proposed county division.
Keystone, Jan. 27.-The time for
county division has come! Imperial
Valley is just on the threshold of a
great era. Therefore, the county must
be split, and this city, being the me-
tropolis of the melon country. is the
proper location for the county seat.
Make no mistake: Keystone must be
the county seat The real estate men
all say so.
Picacho, Jan. 27.-Conclusive and
all-sufficient evidence that Picacho
should be made a county seat is found
ii Auditor Garey's compilation of tax
rates. Picacho has a bond and inter
est rate of $500, while that of Braw-
ley is but 10 cents and Ell Centre II
cents. Is further argument neces-
sary?

made the county seat the local ply
sicians will cut rates to just one-half
Of what the Ell Centro officials charge

THIS Is NO VILLAGE
Street Numbers Arc Real Necessity
-Tlnsei Cards Still Being
Mailed Contrary to
Rulings.

Persons who send mail matter in
Keokuk should be careful to see that
the proper names. street names and
house numbers are all affixed to the
letters or packages. This is the sus
sestion given by local postofnce OH
Gals, who lately have been receiving
mail addressed in such haphazard ard
careless maner that it has been neces
sarv to return much OF It to senders.
1t is NO longer proper to add .ess
letter Mrs. Smith, Fulton street"
There may be three by that name
who live in the same block on Fulton
street, and naturally the mail clerks
and carriers cannot tell to whom the
letter belongs. Keokuk has outgrown
the village variety Of addressed envel-
opes, and the business men and mer-
chants should realize this.
With the influx Of new people which
will come with the new industries,
greater care than ever Is urged in the
addressing of envelopes. Proper ini-
tials and street numbers will do much
toward helping to secure prompt and
efficient delivery Of mail. .-1a
Mail Boxes Aid, Too.
Another way in which everyone can
help out the mail man is to have mail
boxes where the mail can be depos-
tied. These help the carrier to a
great extent. Most of the residences
are SO equipped. and mail boxes
prove great aid to mail carriers.
In the rural districts the mail boxes
should bear the name Of the owner.
This will help the carriers and will
aid in great measure in prompt and
efficient service.
Those Tinsei Cards.
In spite OF the publicity which is
given the matter of mailing tinsel
cards. some people persist in trying
to send them through the mail with
out being put in an envelope and with
only one-cent stamp. Tinsel cards
must be enclosed in an envelope. and
they must bear a two cent stamp.
Otherwise they will be sent to the
dead letter office.
There is bunch Of cards at the
keokuk Office now ready to be sent to
the dead letter office. 49,.
T.nsel cards must be enclosed in
an envelope and need two cent
stamp to carry them. ~. ...

Voice Of the Poop e
Suggests Factory site.
To the Editor Of The Gate City:

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
1t has been demonstrated by the
Strangers who have visited here with
view to locating their factories, that
the Soap Creek or Bloody Run valley
is the most suitable place for the loca-
tion of new factories.
At the present time that part Of
the city is almost inaccessible by
reason OF the highways leading there
to are up and down big hills.
If this be true and there is no doubt
about 1t, would it not be well for the
citizens of Keokuk to urge the city
council to locate and to build good
and substantial wagon road along the
North Road track as far up the val
ley as the River Smelling plant? This
road would be without any grade and
the land used for such could be pro-
cured now while there are no I'M
provements there, at a nominal cost.
In fact If the project was properly
put up to the respective land owners,
the right Of way could be procured
without any expense as they would sec
such a wagon road would largely en-
nance the value of the rest Of the
land. mi |
Why not have the city council do
this now? t s.-.. tus-. ..

Most old people must give to tho
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural It is Just
as natural as 1t is for old people to
walk slowly. For age Is never so ac-
tive as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people. need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The, bowels
must be kept active This is impor-
tant at all ages, but never SO much
as at fifty.
Age Is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and nat
ural tonic. One that can be constants
ly used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets. and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.

touch OF the unusual. This part is
played to remarkable effect by Jerold
Hervener perhaps better known as
Little Jerry, who has appeared on both
the concert and speaking stages
throughout the country.
Edwin Arden Is featured In the title

is told by his physician that he has
but nine months to live, providing he
quits smoking and drinking, and only
six months If he does not. Mr. Arden

Irene Warfeld as Lola, Alma Tell as
Eleanor Faversham, and Crawford
Kent as the young secretary, play
their parts with ability.
Simon, in an endeavor to put a stop
to this, brings Eleanor. whom he does
