LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. w. STRAUS
P,suItsf american Society for Thin

Children are the greatest destroy
ers of paper, a habit encouraged
in some homes to keep the child
occupied, which clings to it in
schooldays and often in later life
in the business world.
Among the materials essential to
the paper industry which central Eu-
rope has been supplying are rags, and
in 1918, when prices ranged from Z
cents to 6 cents pound, the imports
of rags amounted to over two hun.
dred million pounds, or $500, Jos,
These figures will give some idea Of
our wastefulness when we consider
the quantity Of rags thrown away
every day, with the result that we
have to import them from Europe.
One of the recent shining examples
of thrift is Patrick Muldoon of Phil
adelphia- For thirty-hve years Pat
rick Muldoon was employed around
hospital and at no time during that
thirty-five years did his wages exceed
$50 a month. Part of the time he
received less than $50 month. Yet
the other day when he decided to re-
tire and take the rest he had earned,
he had $500 to his credit. He re-
marked that he thought that sum suf-
icient for his old age and added with
satisf action, Il haven't fooled much

small salary in his young manhood.

would take care of him. He did not

memories Of q prudent nast

Resolutions.
At a meeting of the city council
Of the city of Keokuk, held on the
Gath day Of May, 1916, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
Whereas, We have learned with
deep regret OF the death Of the Hon
orable J. A M. Collins, late commits
sioner Of the city of Keokuk, and
Whereas, This entire community
has been shocked at the unexpected
demise of our late fellow townsman,
who for more than half "a century
has been prominent in the business
and public affairs of this city, there
fore
Be it Resolved, BY the city council
of the city Of Keokuk. that the said
city council of Keokuk, as the Of
fetal body of said city, hereby, on
behalf of itself and the citizens Of
Keokuk, express the sense Of loss
which we feel at the passing of Mr..
Collins. He was a man whose integ-
rity and worth was exemplified by a
life lived openly among his fellow
men. For many years he has been
identified with the activities of this
community, both in a business and a
public way. To his efforts this city
is largely indebted for some of it's
most worthy institutions. He gave
unsparingly of his time and ability
for the good and advancement of his
native city. His place will be one
which will not easily be filled. and
which he deemed to be right. stands
memory. With the close of his life,
there has been removed another one
Of those sterling men to whom this
city owes it's progress and advance
ment.
His life as husband and father
stood as a model to be emulated. In
all the relations Of family and friend
ship, he was loyal and conscientious.
AS a public officer, he devoted time
unsparingly to the performance Of
his duties as he saw them, and
though men may have differed with
him, in public life there are none who
will fail to accord to him all honesty,
integrity and unselfishness. And this
is the most worthy and honorable
thing that a man can leave behind
him as he departs this life.
And be it Further Resolved, That
on behalf Of ourselves and the citi-
zens of this community, We extend
to the bereaved family our heartfelt
sympathy. in their great sorrow. We
remind them that the name Of their
departed husband and father will re-
main and be honored as long as this
city shall endure.
And be it Further Resolved, That
these resolutions shall be spread up
on the records of this council, and
that a copy thereof be sent to the
wife and family of the deceased.

nothing that could not have been pur-

nothing thqt COuld not nave DeeQ pur-
chased in some town In the county.
Individual questioning ct the per-
sons who received goods in the ship
ment would doubtless bring forth a
multiplicity of answers as to why they
sent their money away from home. A
lifetime could be spent in argument
for trading at home and still not pro-
duce the desired results. 1t takes
something more than mere words to
do this. It takes concerted effort
on the part OF the community to
| make home markets as accessible as
those by mail.
One Of the hardest blows that will
ever be struck the mail order houses
in Iowa will be better roads. When
the roads of Iowa are put in such
shape that getting to and from mar
ket is easy at all seasons instead of a
task to be dreaded at certain periods
in the year. then those markets will
flourish and the trade at home idea
will permeate the entire state. Most
any person would rather actually see
the the merchandise they are pur-
chasing, but when 1t is necessary to
founder through mud or jolt around
on rough roads to avail themselves OF
that privilege, then there is a temp
tation to look only at the pictures.
Some place between the fancies OF
the paved road enthusiast and the
facts of the present road conditions
there is a middle ground that will
mean easy access to markets and
promote closer spirit between the
towns and the country surrounding.
That middle ground Is better roads
and when it is achieved freight car
loads of mail order merchandise will
be at least less frequent If not en-
tirely a thing of the past.

He is doing bit of strenuous road
work every morning and fast getting

game seriously and Dams looks for
him to come back in great shape. ANDY

HOLD KEOKUK NOT
TO Be IN CENTRAL
Professional Baseball for Coming Sea-
son in Iowa Town Said to Be Out
of the Question.

Keokuk, Iowa, Feb. 3.-Keokuk will
not be in the Central association this
season. Although every sport writer
and the great majority of fans have
thought that ever since the meeting at
Burlington that such would be the
case, no definite decision has been
forthcoming in regard to the matter.
The writer is in a position to state,
however, that c. A. baseball in Keo
kuk is out of the question, not only
this year. but probably for some time
to come.
Much has been said and written con-
corning the actions of the Keokuk di-
rectors in posting the forfeit of $500
at the annual meeting in Burlington.
Allegations have been made to the eff
feet that this city put up the forfeit
money solely Tor the purpose of being
entitled to a vote in the election of a
president Here is the situation as it
really existed
About three weeks prior to the Bur-
ington session the fans Of the city
were urged to attend a mass meeting,
the purpose of which was to discuss
the baseball situation and to formu
late plans for securing funds to finance
club through the 1916 season. Ow
ing to inclement weather, less than
twenty were present and no definite
action was taken. 1t was proposed to
hold another meeting soon afterwards
When the directors of the keokuk
club went to Burlington they did not
know that baseball was out Of the
question here. Chances were slight,
they did realize that, but hopes were
pinned to the mass meeting which was
to have been held, but which will
never assemble now. The fans of Keo-
kuk believe the city needs rest; that
the coming season would only be a
repetition Of last year when Keokuk
was last in attendance with a club
which was one Of the best In her his
tory. Men who have taken an active
interest in baseball here for years have
stated that they will not help support
a team this season, and with such a
feeling it is futile to plan for c. A.
baseball Less than a week ago the
writer went to several fans and sug-
gested plan which, with necessary
cooperation, would have placed q
team here, but he could find no one to
take hold Of the proposition and con-
sequently the matter was dropped.

the ink has just about run dry on
