Mechanicsburg, Pa, Feb 6.-Miss
Maude Cree, the talented pianist, of
the Miller evangelistic party, is a real
livewire in the campaign. Her play
ing shows skill and good training,
combined with excellent technique and
natural ability. Miss Cree is a soloist
with a rich, full soprano voice. and
never fails to please the audience.
She is also a reader and previous to
engaging in evangelistic work, was a
prominent and popular figure in ly-
ceum chautauqua programs.

U. S. DOES NOT CARE
Not Concerned With State PrOhibitory
Law, Says Judge Pollock.

1.-The government is not concerned
in the enforcement of the state pro-
hibitory law" United States District
Judge John c. Pollock instructed the
Jury in the federal court Tuesday.
The jury mad been unable to reach a
verdict in the trial of a Topeka man
on the charge of selling liquor with
out an internal revenue license.
"A single sale of liquor is not evil
dence that the person charged is en-
gagged in the business. The fact that
he should sell a quart or pint of liquor
to another person would not be evil
dence that he is engaged in the bust
ness though of course it would be I'M
der the state laws"
Because the Kansas laws make the
possession of an internal revenue
liquor license prima facie evidence of
illegal sales of liquor, many violators
of the state prohibitory law fail to
buy federal licenses. Ten cases of this
nature are set for trial at the present
term of the federal court.

BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brlghterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not a:"patent medicine"
simply a highly concentrated oil-foOd,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves blood; it bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

GOING SOME.

Forward That's the keokuk sent-
ment and purpose. This city has been
getting her house in order for pro-
gressive movement all along the line.
The march is on and larger victories
are in store for us. Locating two fac
tories within a month is good evi-
dence that the community is united.
Not only in the factory line is activ-
ity shown but along other develop
ment avenues can be seen the accom-
plishment of purpose that is taking
possession of the city. Keokuk has
been planning. 1t a now acting. To
use a common phrase-it is deliver
ing the goods. The Standard Four
Tire Co.. the National Lead Co. plant,
purchase of the modern fire engine,
construction of the Moose bathing
beach, are all in the direction of a
better Keokuk. It requires all kinds
OF varied enterprises to make city.
Keokuk is getting the variety. And
while this improvement is going on it
might not be out of place to suggest
to the city officials that for the ex-
pensive and efficient and up-to-date
fire engine it void be more In har-
mony with the machine if the Sixth
street station looked more like an en-
CINE house than ramshackle.

For sale.

one set single harness.
| These horses and harness are now
at the Sixth street fire station, where

chasers.
| Sealed bids for the purchase of this
property will be received at the city
office up to noon. June Is, 1915.

Superintendent OF the Department IL
Public Safety.
Before noon of June 15, 1915. sent
sealed bid for purchase of this
property to the city Office. That bid
was five hundred dollars. Announce
Iment was made after bids were in. that
all bids were rejected. On June II,
1915, the five horses were sold to Joe
Piggott, of Hamilton. for four hundred
! dollars, as may be learned from an ex
lamina ton OF the city's books, which
unlike the methods of the city counc J.
are open to the public. The mayor
disclaims responsibility; the superin.
tendent of the department of public
safety tries to crawl through the loop
hole VIII en- questioned concerning tn,
bad business of such transaction by
stating that the bid OF $500 was the
only bid made for the horses without
the harness. But the advertisement
asked for a bid on the five horses an
the two sets of harness, and made
my bid accordingly. when the adve'
tisement was SO published, why should
preference be given to a man from out
of town rather than to a Keokuk tax
payer, when the Keokuk taxpayers
bid was, according to the terms Of the
notice, 500 more than that of the
Hamilton mans? Are two sets of old
used harness worth anything like
800? i feel that although some ad,
quate explanation Is due me for this
manifest preference, a far greatcl
explanation is due the citizens o,

When Experts Disagree.

Iowa City Republican: The Cedar

passed laws to permit soldiers tc
vote before they were OF age. that is.
81. The Republican is mistaken. Con-
gress provided that soldiers could
vote wherever they might be on elce-
ton day, 1864. but only those who
were ever 81 could legally vote. II is
possible that some others NAV have
voted, but congress could no. over
