Bridges Should Be Painted.

Recent investigations of the Illinois
state highway department indicate
that few highway steel bridges in that
state are painted after their final COM
pletion and acceptance. Very serious
corrosion results and is illustrated in
a number of cases, says the En-.
cheering Record. A serious factor
in the corrosion Of iron and steel is
the use of salt to clear the roadway Of
snow and Ice. This was considered
at least partly responsible for the bad
condition OF truss members in a
bridge fifteen years old.

OUR INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

Not since The Gate City announced
the building of the great water power
dam in Keokuk has this paper been
able to give to its readers as impor-
tant and cheerful piece of news as
that contained in this issue which
announces the building in this city by
the National Lead company of the
smelling plant. 1t Is important In
more ways than one. 1t Is important
in that it opens the Industrial activity
OF the city which has been looked for
ever since the completion of the
water power. 1t is a big concern,
backed by millions, and Will rapidly
enlarge it's initial activities until ap-
proximately 1900 men will be employ
ed. Keokuk thus secures one of the
largest industries that has been To-
Gated in the middle west in many
years and secured 1t because this city
had the advantage of offering cheap
electric power. 1t was the deciding
factor So the pessimist who has been
claiming all the time that the water
power would never do Keokuk any
good has lost his argument. It's been
a long, long way to industrial develop
ment. but the fellow who keeps going
finally arrives Keokuk has arrived.
The plant that will locate here is the
beginning. Subsidiary companies are
certain to follow this one. The big
plant will attract and develop. The
Gate City wishes to congratulate all
those who contributed in any way to
securing the industry. 1t creates a
new epoch in our local histoy. When
visitors come to Keokuk and ask
what the water power has done for US
we can show them. Heretofore we
offered excuses-reasonable ones, too.
But now we will be able to furnish
convincing proof, as the industrial
tract will soon be what its name sig
nifies. Be sure and send copy of
this evenings Gate City to those who
you think would be interested IN Keo-
kuk. The Industrial Association took
hold of the proposition in prompt.

did not cease it's labors until all that
was required of it was secured.

To the Editor OF the Gate City:
The Presbyterian of February 20,

sembled in reunion in the year 1876;
these same sentiments are quite apro-
pos now In these days when "Old
Glory" and America First are up
permost in every true American pa
triot's heart. General Grant said:
'If there is going to be another bat
tie in the near future of the national
existence. the dividing line will not
be the Mason and Dixon; the divid-
ing line will be intelligence and pa
triotism on the one hand, and ignor-
ance and superstition on the other
And then looking down through the
eyes of those old soldiers into their

General Grant futher said Cultivate

Most potato insects feed also on
other closely related plants. So when
Unison wood, wild ground cherry or
horse nettle are allowed to grow in or
near a potato field, these plants are
likely to harbor enough insects to
stock acres of potatoes. The potato
