FAIRFIELD'S NEW
 DEMOCRATIC CLUB
 BEGINS ACTIVITIES
Committee of fl Selected to Perfect Organization of the
 Members.

Fairfield, Dec. 7-More than 30 young men of Fairfield gathered at the town hall last night and formed a temporary organization for Demo cratic club. Enthusiasm permeated the. meeting and it seemed to be the belief of the meeting that changes for the better in Fairheld's government will be brought about by the forma- ton of the club.
 The object of the organization is to band together the Democratic voters of the town. especially the young men who are to be the future taxpayera { of the town and seek improvements Fairfield Democrats believe it re1ec- ton on the spirit of the Inhabitants that so few improvements havesbeen obtained in a town that contains such prominent men. -4s.
 A committee of II to perfect the organization was appointed Its chairman is M. R. Perry of Southport and secretary Edward Flanagan of Thorpe avenue, Fairfield. The com mittee will meet again next Tuesday evening at the town hall and report DaCK on meLnOQS or organization, which will have been studied in the meantime. ats
 Election of officers was put off last night to another meeting, which will be held week from Friday evening. At that time the report of the or- ganization committee will be consfd- cred and the officers will be select ed.
 The name of the club hasn't been selected. It hasn't been decided whether the name will be the Wood row Wilson Democratic club or the Fairfield Democratic club.
 Persons in Greenfield Hill, Strat- field, Fairfield and Southport have promised to join in the civic move ment.
 The club has also another purpose, which will be to promote the social relations of the members. Entertain ments will be held and in this man. ner, 1t is expected, the mem bers will be brought together to their mutual benefit.

THE KAIsER's PREDECESSORS

Since it is now generally agreed that a man is the product of his here
 dity and environment, study of the ancestory of Emperor William, the Teuton Ward Lord, is not without in terest at this time. One of the most 1 instructive and entertaining of the volumes dealing with the personal af-
 fairs of the earlier Hohenzollerns is the work of Prussian princess, Louise, niece of Frederick the Great. Princess Louise of Prussia died eighty years ago today, Dec. z, 1836, and she bequeathed to her son Will liam the manuscript which has since l been published in book form and 1 translated into several tongues. the
 English version bearing the title of
 "Forty-five Years of My Life"
 | As a member of the Prussian royal family, and a niece of Frederick IT,. I the greatest of the Hohen2ollerns,
 Princess Louise brought to the aid | of her pen that first-hand knowledge
 which is so much better than hear say She admits that Frederick the
 Great had many faults. Of his death
 she writes
 l Hardly had Frederick IT, closed 1 his eyes before all the sovereign s I IdulCS were lOTSOILeA, dI1 IICH , l thoughts were concentrated on his
 brilliant qualities and the benefits he had conferred upon his people. The - mourning was universal and was worn I without any order having been issued l that effect.'
 1 Princess Louise visited Frederick $
 widow and found her plunged in the deepest grief She adds: "She
 mourned the King as if she had been
 mistress of his affections. She was proud of his glory, proud of having been his consort. This enthusiasm
 had so greatly increased since his death that she entertained hopes of making the world believe she had
 been bound to the King by much closer es of affection than was gen.
 erally Llpposed." AS a matter of fact,
 according to the Princess, 'in days
 gone by he may have spoken to her,
 but he had never done so for many
 years: none of us could recall such

 The governess was at first disinclined
 toward the dubious honor of being a kings mistress, but she at length
 yielded when told by the Duke or 1 Brunswick that "she was driving the
 King to despair, that he could think
 of nothing but her. that the most im- 1 portant matters were being left in l abeyance, and that she ought to sac- rifice herself to the prosperity of the

Cured His RUPTURE

I was badly ruptured while lifting a trunk several years ago. Doctors said my only hope of cure was an op- eration. Trusses did me no good. Finally got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as carpenter. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation, if you write to me, Eugene M. Pullen, Carpenter, 40 c, Marcellus Avenue. Manasquan, N. J. Better cut out this notice and show it to any others who are ruptured-you may save a life or at least stop the misery of rupture and the worry and danger of an operation.

IDEAL WEATHER
FOR HOLIDAY
keokuk Enjoyed Thanksgiving Day
in Much the Same Way as
in Former Years.

Thanksgiving day in Keokuk was
ideal, SO far as the weather was
concerned at least. The day in Keo-
kuk was very little different from
other Thanksgiving days. There
were the usual family dinner parties,
and the theatres and the annual char
ity ball of the Benevolent Union
furnished program Of amusements
for everyone. The fact that the an
nual Thanksgiving day football game
between Fort Madison and Keokuk
was played on the Fort Madison
gridiron did not keep away big
Keokuk crowd, as the trip was made
by automobile in easy fashion.
There were many family parties.
some of the young folks away at coll
lege are home for the short vacation.
and many people had guests for the
day. In the afternoon everyone who
has an automobile or was fortunate
enough to have friends who have
one, was out enjoying the day. The
weather was great for this sort OF
taunting. Even the tales Of the, old
timers of Thanksgiving sleighing and
skating parties failed to arouse any
feeling of jealousy with weather like
yesterday.
