WANTS TO BUY
!. PART OF STREET
Garmo Company, BY 3. c. Taber,
Asks City to vacate Fifty Feet
Of Commercial and Part
Of M Street.
IS ALL THAT Is LEFT
keokuk Electro Metals Company Has
Remainder Of Thorouahfare Be-
tween M and N Streets
No Action Vet.

The Garmo company. by B. C. Tab
Ier. has petitioned the city council that
the part of commercial street lying
between lots / and ~ In block 10,
Ford's addition, and also that portion
!of N street between the south line OF
Railroad street and the Mississippi
be vacated and decided to the company
by the city council for the same rate
OF consideration as asked the Missis-
sippi River Power company for their
sections of Commercial and N streets.
The petition calls attention to the
fact that all of Commercial street be-
tween M and N streets with the ex-
ception of the fifty feet between lots
and II, mentioned above, have been
vacated and also that the small sec
ton of the street that does remain
has no outlet except through Nj street,
which has never been opened.
The Garmo mill is situated on the
northeast side Of NJ street and the
deciding of the property mentioned to
the company would undoubtedly give
space for expansion. The company is
willing to pay the same rate for the
land that the water power people paid
for the section that goes to the Keo-
kuk Electro Metals company.
The city has taken no action in the
matter as yet.

DRAMA SERMON TO
BE GIVEN SUNDAY
Rev. r. 3. McAlIister Will Use tho
Book Across the Border" in
His Service

! Rev. F. B. McAllister of the First
Baptist church, stated from his pulpit
last Sunday evening. he would give
the great drama-sermon, Across the
Border" this coming Sunday evening,
if he had sufficient time to get it pre-
pared; he now announces that he will
give it Sunday night. Across the
Border" is said to be. the greatest war
story of the age. 1t has been dram
atized and is being played in some OF
the leading cities with tremendous
success. Rev McAllister states he
relieves in the short story as a
means to convey great truth. not
only because Jesus continually used
them, but because they form an i'm
press upon the mind that will last
long after the abstract statement is
gone. ACROSS the Border" deals with
the moral aspect of this great problem
Of war from the divine side. The
problem Of reconciliation Of God with
war is exceedingly hard to establish.
The war is so big and Is being fought
on such large lines that it is hard for
us to visualize it's extent. In the past
we have thought of destruction of life
by the thousands, and this has caused
US to shudder, but now we hear Of 1t
by the hundreds of thousands and
even millions, while the destruction Of
property runs far into the billions.
Our minds cannot comprehend 1t. Our
consciences have become benumbed.
our sympathies are over-taxed to such
an extent that life is cheap, he states
This story is the greatest weapon OF
the day to awaken the Indifference
with regards to life that has crept up
on US. The story Is prophetic call
back to God, to get His point Of view.
Rev. McAllister says he will not only
tell the story but to some extent i'm
personate the characters to make it
more vivid. The story was written
bv that prophecies Of our age. Beulah

At the United Presbyterian Church
Wednesday, Nov. 10, the Original
StroIlers Quartet.


This company was organized in
1906 and made its first appearance in
towns and cities on the Pacific coast.
Since that time and with only one
change in personnel during all the
pany has filed engagements in nearly
every state Of the union.
These men are not only OF first
class ability as singers and entertain
ers, but they have a high standard of
what lyceum program should be and
they work constantly in adding to
their program new material and in
giving it an artistic finish that has
made the Strollers a standard Of ex-
cellence. People often ask Of quar-
tet: as It as good as the Strollers?"
Mr.. Ross Crane, formerly president
OF the International Lyceum associa-
ton. wrote the Century Bureau: "The
Strollers unquestionably are one of the
leading quartets on the platform both
as a singing organization and in their
specially and entertaining features"
This is the first number of a series
of entertainments to be given this
winter by the Young Mems class of
the United Presbyterian church. The
, talent is furnished by the Century
/ Lyeeum bureau Of Chicago, and in
cludes three high class musical num-
bers. A lecture and character por-

Beautiful Xmas Services.
Exercises In Churches Enjoyed
By Many.

During the past week the churches in
this town and community held their
Christmas services.
With the exception of Saturday night,
weather conditions were ideal for going
about, and the churches were crowded
to capacity.
The services given here, we believe,
were somewhat above the average, the
music being very bright and catchy and
the recitations strictly such as pertain to
Christmas and the Christ child.
Due to the severe rain, snow and wind
storm which swept the east portion OF
the country Saturday night, the United
Brethren service was postp ned until
Tuesd evening.
Never before was so much attention
given 70 the music as was done this year.
This was made possible by the fact that
a number of our folks have learned the
violin and other Instruments, and we can
boast of having fairly good orchestra.
Those who assisted at the various churches
with violins were Mrs. S. E. Rose, Miss
EAie Winger, Messrs. Lloyd Freeze and
Arthur Rogers. while Messrs. Evers
Wilhide, Roscoe Msck'ey and Emory
Stottlemyer filed well the cornet and
trombone parts.
The decorations were simple in all the
churches, laurel and pine branches and
small trees being used.

Amount Of Pork Sailed
Down for 1916.
Number of Hogs and Pounds
Surprising.

The following record of the number OF
hogs killed and the number of pounds OF
pork raised to be consumed and stored
away in this community has been made
up by our good friend Mr.. Jos. c. Mar
tin. He gathered this information prin-
cipally for his own satisfaction and after
seeing that the amount climbed 30 high
in pounds, thought it worth bringing to
US.
From information obtained, Mr.. Mar
tin finds that, in town and within radius
of one mile from the centre of the town.
l22 families fed. grew and slaughtered
377 hogs. This is fraction more than
three hogs per family. The aggregate
net weight of the BIT hogs was lO3,497
pounds, or three pounds short of sig tons.
The average number of pounds per family
would he s4lA. Hogs killed and shipped
out of the circle are not included in the
above.
Mr. Martin finds that at least so per
cent of the towns householders did not
feed nor butcher hogs. and for these an
additional SO tons might be reckoned.

Auto Owners Take Notice.

Just at this season of the year when
persons fortunate enough to own an au-
tomobile are more or less vexed over the
increase in price of gasoline, securing
new license for 1916, and the almost GER
tainty of having another tax imposed on
them, there comes the report from Chi
cago that disease termed "petromortis'
has made its appearance. Reports from
Chicago says:
eugene M. humphrey, lawyer, is
dead at his home here of what physicians
term "petromortis' or automobile gas
poisoning. According to physicians it is
the first fatal case in Chicago from that
cause.
can idea of the violence with which
"petromorts" attacks its victims, was
given by DR.. John D. Ellis, head of the
department of occupational diseases of
Rush Medical College.
1.-THE thing is new to science in some
of its aspects" said DR.. Ellis. 'Persons
who are subject to vertigo may be at
tackled when in a close. small garage.
The danger lies in failure of certain
elements in the gasoline to oxidize. In
any event there is quick suffusion of a
violent gas that renders the victim faint.
Thus if the exhaust Of an automobile
continues, the result Is almost instant
death.
''The post-mortem showings are those
of brain and lung congestion.
Humphrey went to his garage to get
his automobile in which he intended to
deliver a number of Christmas gifts to
poor families. An hour later his body
was found on the floor of the garage. the
engine of the automobile was running
and the small room filledwith gas fumes.

Dangel' Signal.

If the fire bell should ring would you
run and stop it or 60 and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way with
a cough. A cough is danger signal as
much as a fire bell. You should no more
try to suppress it than to stop fire bell
when it is ringing, but should cure the
disease that causes the coughing. This
can nearly always be done by taking
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Many
have used it with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1t is especially valuable for the
persistent cough that 80 often follows a
bad cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs.
Thomas Beeching. Andrews, Ind, writes:
During the winter my husband takes
cold easily and coughs and coughs. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is the best med
icine for breaking up these attacks and
you cannot get him to take any other"

Mt. St. Mary's Items.

A happy New Year to the CLARION
and all it's readers.
The Masses at St. Anthony on New
Years Day are the same as on Sunday,
7.3O a. m. and 10. 80 a. m.
The Christmas celebration at St. An
thony this year was beautifully carried
out. Midnight mass on Xmas eve WAS
sung by Rev. G. H. Tragesser. The
church was beautifully decorated with
garlands, and the electric lights in the
choir loft added greatly to the decora-
tons. Just prior to the IL O'Clock mass
the whole community was startled by the
MUSIC from Larry's flute. 1t was about
quarter of twelve O'Clock when the aut-
list made his visit to the mountain side.
This year Larry had chain of automo-
biles benind him reaching from the school,
house to St. Anthony's church. The flute
was plainly heard at St. Joseph's Acad-
envy, St. Anthony's church was crowd
ed to its capacity at the midnight mass.
and nearly everyone present received
Holy Communion.
Several evenings ago number OF men
of St. Anthony's Parish called upon Rev.
Tragesser, and consulted him in regard
forming Young Mems Lyceum In the
parish. He at once consented, and since
that time an organization has been form
ed and the following officers elected, viz:
HONORARY President, Rev. G. H. TRACES
ser; President, John Jordan; V-President,
Ernest Seltzeri Secretary, ]. EdW. Self
ger; Treasurer, Joseph Hemler. The OBJ
ject of this organization is to keep the
young folks of the parish together; fur
nish amusement and recreation for all,
and to look after al! the sports and affairs
of the young folks. 4 small member
ship fee will be charged.
The Lyceum officials will have charge
of the dance to be held in st. Anthony's
Hall on Monday night, January 3rd.
