Henry Duncan moved that the mer-
chants authorize the commissioners
to deal with the company and make
arrangements for turning out lights
on alternate sides of the street.
Look Into Road.
In the matter of the new road for
the bridge approach, it was voted to
let the commissioners handle the
proposition and report to the league
at future meeting. The sentiment
seemed to be favorable to making
such a change in plans. and it was
felt that now was the time.
AL Linquist said that he thought the
time was at hand, and the work should
be done now. AS he could figure it.
1t was going to cost little for each
merchant. j. Schouten said the first
cost was the only cost, and he thought
it would be money well spent.
President Justice thought it was a
good idea, and suggested that in such
plan the merchants were probably
more vitality interested than any 9TH
ers. He said the merchants appre-
ciated the suggestion of the commits
sioner, and suggested that they meet
with the merchants, whenever they
had problems. He suggested putting
the road matter in the hands Of the
commissioners for further report, and
this was carried.

table, with the guests OF honor and

closing their store one-half day each
week. He said the grocers were plan
ming to do so. as is customary. They
wanted to know the sentiment of the
others. however. Some of the men in
other business didn't seem to think it
would be possible to do so. A COM
mittee representing each branch OF
the retail trade will wait on the mer-
chants and secure expressions of opin-
ion in this matter.

rh.. t<eokuk is about to realize
.or dream Of industrial awakening is
the belief Of ]. Albert kedalscn'
president of the Industrial associa-
ion, Judging from the very optlmis-
tic tone that he used last night IN
speaking before the Retailers meet
sThs is no time to lose the white
uav lights" Mr.. Kiedaisch said.
.Keokuk is about to realize what we
have looked forward to for so long.
The whole tone of Mr.. Kiedaisci's
talk was optimistic, and he spoke OF
the amount of labor which Will be
Srought here with all Of the contem-
plated work. This includes the bridge
labor. the labor which the tire fac
tory will bring, and the local labor
which will also be employed.
THE Standard Four Tire company
Is similar to the American Cement
Machine company, which has become
one Of the best concerns, Mr.. kel-
daisch said. 1.-THE location OF the tire
company on the Industrial tract
makes it possible for us to get track
facilities, build roadway and run
city water there.
Promises to Move.
"And have the assur1nce Of
factory now operating in keo-
kuk, and which employs fifty-five
men, that they will move their
plant to the Industrial tract, and
that they will Increase their
force very materiaIIv.0
Mr.. Kiedaisch said that he expected
The buildings for the tire company to
be we'll along by July Is, Of this year.
The Industrial association has
adopted the policy not TO recommend
to the citizens any project in which
the directors do not have the utmost
faith, and in which they are willing
70 place time and money.
This very significant statement,
coming ON the heels of the announce
ment OF the factory yesterday, en-
phasizes the associations faith in the
new factory.
And Here's Another One.
l. y. Conner placed before the Re-
taiiers last night the proposition of
iecapltallzlng and recognizing the
present keokuk box factory so that
might manufacture strawboaro
shipping cases. He thought that by
setung out and doing a little push
ing, the present box factory could be
MADE to include the manufacture of
sudWooard shipping cases. 1t was
suggested that the matter be referred

MORNING AND EVENING.

This prose, poem was written
by the late Bob Taylor of Tenn
essee. It's a most beautiful
effort in strong keeping with
the mind which penned it. 1t
has often been published but
is worthy of frequent reprint
ing fer the thoughts which it
will engender in the minds Of
the appreciative reader.
Il saw the morning, with
purple culver and FURNISHED
bow, stand tip-toe on the hori-
zon, and shoot sunbeams at
the vanishing darkness of
night, then reach up and gath
er the stars and hide them in
her bosom, and then bend
down and tickle the slumber-
ing world with straws Of light
till it woke with laughter and
with song. A thousand bugle
calls from the rosy fires of the
east heralded her coming; a
thousand smiling meadows
kissed her garments as she
passed, and 10000 laughing
gardens unfurled their flags
to greet her. The heart of
the deep forest throbbed a
tribute Of bird song, and the
bright waters rippled a melody
of welcome. Young life and
love, radiant with hope and

a lullaby on her lips. rock the
weary world to rest; then |
saw her with her dipper full
Of dew drops and her basket
full of dreams, slip back to the
horizon of the morning and
steal the stars again. The
gardens furled their flags of
flowers and the meadows fell
asleep; the song of the fprest
fell in silence, and the melan-
choly waters whispered a pen
sive good night to the drowsy
birds and sleepy hollows.

parting day upon their brows
and the starlight tangled in
their hair, walked arm and
arm among the gathering
shadows and wove all the
sweet memories of the morn
ing into their happy evening
that it might never end.
Thus life steals up from
the dust. We wake to think
and sleep to dream. We love
and laugh, and weep, ald sing,
and sigh, uutil death steals us

of the marriage of Col r. w.

The editor acknowledges the
receipt of summer turnip,
measuring 1879 inches in circum-
ference, from Levi Williams,

Another item reports it mighty
dry in this section. Crops suffer
ing amazingly. If we do not have
a rain soon corn will be scarce. :
The editorial columns are brist-
ling with politics. At that time
the carpet-bagger and scalawag
were largely in evidence here, as
they were all over our loved

pouring hot shot into these rep
rebates, as this old executor was
doing at the same time in Tennes-

BEWARE OF TOO MUCH
COTTON.

gong to be a we'll nlgn IRE
sistible temptation next spring
10 plant the whole farm, IN
GLIDING the roads and fence
rows, to cotton. This must
not happen, Il it does cotton
will be selling next fallat six to
eight cents a pound, as 1t did
in the fall Of 1914. The rea-
son that we got good price
for cotton this fall is that we
madea small crop-only about
IL, 100000 bales, against 49,
100000 bales last year; not
because normal conditions and
a normal cotton market have
been restored. They have
not been. and they will not be
until the principal disturbing
cause.-The war in Europe has
been removed. The acreage
next year ought to be held
down to that of the present
year; for, while there proba-
bly, willnot be as much cotton
carried over this year as there
was last, we should anticipate
as large a visible supply at
this time next year as we have
now, as our yield, if normal,
will be considerably larger
than the acre yield which we
I'VE made this year.
At this point in our argument
for a limited cotton acreage
let us stop and see how We
have come out with our small
cotton crop this year. II you
will sit down with your pencil
and paper and do little fig
,lrinp YOU will find that our
IL 100000 bale crop this year
is going to bring at least $50
100000 more in aggregate
gross return for lint than our
100000 bale crop last year
brought. Then it has taken
at least $50,500,000 less to
pick and market this years
crop than last years, and at
least 500, 100000 less to pro-
duce it. In short. this IL, 000,-
900 crop, because Of increased
prices, has left the cotton
growers with at least $780,
100000 more than last years
crop, considering the lint only.
The seed greatly increases the
advantage in favor of this
years crop; but, owing to the
fact that it is more difficult to
get figures on the seed, we
have not taken it into consid-
Grafton. The big, powerfully
impressive fact is that by
leaving off considerable per-
centage Of our cotton acreage
this year and planting to other
crops we have gotten a big
crop Of food and feed, ande at
