Talk About Bridge Sign.
The matter OF a huge sign which
Will be electrically lighted at night
Tor the top Of the Keokuk and Ham
ilton bridge was brought UP, and met
with instant response. There is much
IN favor of having such sign, the
league members felt, and they COM
mended the idea. President Justice
was authorized to place the matter
IN the hands OF committee with pow
er to act. 1t was suggested that the
sign should be of considerable size
and that it would not only advertise
the city at all times, but would furn-
lsh light for the upper deck Of the
bridge at night. A steel sign bearing
the letters to spell the name Keokuk
was one suggestion. Keokuk, the
Power City, was another suggestion.
All Of these matters will be consid.
cred by the committee.
The matter of sufficient hitching
posts for the use Of farmers was
also brought to the attention Of the
league, and this will be handled by
committee. 1t was felt that there
should be sufficient posts for the
needs Of the community.

enjoyed the program last night.
Tickets TO the chautauqua were
sold at the meeting, and the local
men purchased pasteboards for the
event. A member of the Montrose
committee expressed himself as well
pleased with the way the Keokuk
merchants had responded. The Mont
rose people respected the agreement
of the merchants regarding ticket
selling in the stores here, and the
local men reciprocated.

The reason is just this: You cannot get
fat, no matter how much you eat, unless
making elements of your food instead of
passing them out through the body as
waste.
What is needed is means of gently
urging the assimilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the oils
and fats and hand them over to the
blood, where they may reach the starved,
shrunken, down tissues and build
them up. The thin persons body is like
dry sponge-eager and hungry for the
fatty materials of which 1t is being de-
canal to take them from the food. A
splendid way of working to overcome this
sinful waste of flesh building elements
and to stop the leakage of fats is to try
Sargol, the famous flesh building agent
that has been so widely sold in America

TOO BUSY
Only $500 Out of 10000 in
Shawnee Go to Church.
Rev. r. ID. Bussey in Speech Be-
fore Sunday School Body.

Only 1884 persons out of the rural
population of Shawnee county
amounting to nearly 10000, are menu
bers of churches. This was the state
ment made by the Rev. Robert D.
Bussey, pastor of the Seabrook com :
munity church. at the annual conven-
ton of the Shawee County Sunday
Lutheran church today. Furthermore,
he asserted, owing to an unfortunate
increase in the numbers of tenant
farmers the small percentage of pro-
fessed Christians is decreasing stead
lily
The Problem of Saving America
Bussey told his hearers, lies in the
redemption of the rural community.
The modern farmer is prosperous but
he is not essentially Christian. And
increasingly hurtful to the church and
Sunday school is the system of tenant
farming.
I'VE are watching with fear the
growth of disastrous tenancy. There
is caste system growing up between
the landowners and the tenants. like
that of the British Isles. With the in
crease of tenancy the idea of caste is
increasing until it threatens to make
rural America resemble India. In addi-
ton to the depletion of the land by
the disappearance of the farmer who
owns his land, Kansas and Shawnee
county are gaining a dangerous shift
ing population of tenants. The moral
and religious reaction from these is
alarming"
Bussey's speech was the principal
one of the morning. Following him

be repeated indefinitely unless cour-
age is exhibited in future matters of
the sort which was not exhibited in
this case.

not be permitted to hold up the peo-
pie of the United States and at the
point of a pistol demand we must re-
ceive what we want, or one hundred
million people will be subjected to
enormous loss and suffering.
Regulation of Wages by Congress.
Van Hise said regulations of wages
by the government is inevitable. The
first thing that must come is an
amendment to the Newlands act,
which will prevent calling of strikes
or lockouts.
The entire railroad problem was
threshed out during the sessions to-
day.
Congress has the undoubted right
under the constitution to prescribe
both hours of labor and amount of
wages, not only for railroad employees,
but for others in interstate commerce,
Representative Adamson, vice chair
man of the joint congressional COM
mittee on interstate commerce, told
the chamber.
The commerce clause of the con-
stitution knows no limitations Judge
Adamson said. Congress passed first
a law limiting railroad work to forty
hours, then the sixteen hour law, then
laws limiting a days work to thir-
teen and even nine hours for some
classes of work.
IF the two classes of railroad men
fight congress will fix their rights
and duties in the interests of the peo-
pie"
Judge Adamson said he is unalter-
al 70 ar
ship as d solution of the public utility
problem.
Government ownership would put
the country in the hands of the rail-
roads," he said. THE roads would
be capitalized at $4,000, 000,0 900.
There is not SO much money in the
world. Bonds would be issued"
