Some people think that the
average kind Of patriotism is a
queer thing. For instance, up TO
the time that Villa raided Co
Iumbus, N. NJ, American gun
and ammunition traders sold
munitions to the bandit on the
SLY and Villa used this material
to shed innocent American
blood. Do you think those mu-
milton runners" are traitors, or
merely "sood business men?"

HORSE FLESH BECOMES LEGAL
lied AS FOOD IN NEW YORK CITY

In these times when crabs, Holsters,
frogs and many other unclean foods are
eaten by people, one is not surprised to
find that slaughter of horses for food
purposes has now been legalized in New
York City. For the first time horse
flesh comes on the American market as
a staple, and one need not be surprised
if the flesh of dogs and cats next be-
comes legalized.
There are Fl million horses, it is
claimed, in the United States, and of
these, about per cent are not useful
for work because of age or some physi-
cal defect. In the past these have been
put out of the way, but it is now pro-
posed to create meat market for them.

FOREIGN WORKMEN VICTIMIZED
BY FOREMEN

According to The Chicago Herald, sell
ling jobs to ignorant foreigners is one
of the forms of petty graft said to be
very common in large industrial estab-
lishments. Cases in Chicago have come
to light through the Immigrants Pro-
tective League. Recently the evil has
been exposed in Milwaukee, while the
State of Ohio now makes the first au-
thoritative report on the abominable
system.
The men victimized by their foremen
are usually unable to speak English,
while the grafters are familiar with the
language of their native country. The
foreman is thus shielded by this advan-
tage, while the future American is de-
graded before he becomes citizen.
At the present time, this form of cor
ruption is punishable in Ohio by fine
of but from $50 to $780, however, new
law will be asked, imposing much more
serious penalties.
The federal Monthly Reviea0 thus de-
scribes the Ohio situation: "It was
found that in some plants the custom
had been established for years. With
some foremen box of cigars or a bottle
of whisky was sufficient present to
secure a job ten years ago; then the
applicant learned that money was more
acceptable, and SIS was the usual fee for
the unskiled laborer; the applicant next
learned that So or So extra would help
him get job without waiting, or, in
other words, it would place him on the
preferred list; and at the tine the in
vestigations were begun the fee Eek
pected' was generally SIS, 500 or s25
for job paying approximately Is cents
per hour"

MIGRATION OF CoLoRED PEOPLE
FROM SOUTHERN STATES

The attention Of the public, and esrc-
cially of the Federal Department of Labor,
has been attracted to the new migration of
negroes from the Southern States to the
North and West. The numbers are be-
leved to be large and there is probabil-
ity of even greater movement in the near
future.
The Pennsylvania Railroad recently
brought 5000 negro laborers north in one
train of six sections, and other railroads,
as far north as the Canadian line, are in
vestiga ing the advantages of importing
oolored workmen from the South. 1t is
,laimed that within two years 100000 to
100000 negroes will have found new

ALASKA, THE COMING CENTER OF
WORLDS FISH SUPPLY

A writer familiar with Alaska draws
attention to the fact, that when that
country was purchased from Russia for
only seven million dollars, no one dreamed
of it's prospective value as a source of
food products alone. Alaska now is re-
garded as the coming center of the fish
supply of the world.
The writer says:
''The seat beats upon $4,000 miles of
Alaska shore line All of that vast
stretch Of waters is teeming with the most
edible fish on earth. Every bay is har-
Dor where these fish can be prepared for
the markets of the world, and the great
est ships afoat can anchor in safety while
taking on their cargoes."
He adds that the food wealth is no less
important than it's mineral

NORWAY PASSES ORDINANCE
AGAINST ALLIES SUBMARINES

A dispatch from Christiania of October
18th, states that King Haaken had ap-
proved an ordinance forbidding submar-
ines of belligerent powers from traversing
Norwegian waters, except in cases of emer-
gency, when they must remain above the
surface and fly their national flag. Any
submarine discovered violating the ordin-
ance will, according to its provisions, be at
tackled by armed forces. Mercantile SUBJ
marines are only to be allowed in Norwe-
gian waters in surface position, in full
daylight and flying their national colors
The ordinance took effect on October
Doth.
Norway's losses at sea from the open
ing of the war up to October II, as re-
suit of mines and submarines, are one
hundred and seventy-one vessels; one
hundred and forty sailors have lost their
lives.
Norway has directed the attention Of
Germany to the feeling aroused among the
Norwegian people because of numerous
reports of crews having been abandoned in
small boats in the Arctic Ocean, 1t is
claimed that the Government has received
assurance from the German Government
that submarines on their way to the Arctic
will not pass through Norwegian waters.

FARM LOAN BOARD ASKS GOVERN
MENT COOPERATION IN HEADING
OFF GIGANTIC FRAUD

According to a Washington report OF
October IL, the Federal Farm Loan Board
is seeking to head off what is believed to
be developing into one of the greatest fin
ancial frauds the United States has known,
and asks aid of the Department of Justice.
The board reports to the Justice Depart
ment, that clear across the continent in a
strip Of states from Virginia to California,
organizations either deliberately, fraudu-
lently, or, at best, illegally have sprung up
for the purpose of defrauding the farmers
through the latters ignorance of the new
rural credits act. 1t is claimed that on one
single instance the farmers were victi-
mixed to an aggregate of $35000O.
Even Governors ofstates and members Of
Congress have been unwilling parties to
some Of these illegal operations.
Persons prominent in all walks OF life
have been involved, their names being
used in some cases simply to lend tone
of responsibility to the nefarious scheme.
Sometime ago the board announced a
ruling, that no proposed joint stock land
bank will be chartered, if it has spent
money for promotion. This was designed
to hold the expense Of operation down to
minimum in order that the interest rates
to farmers might be as low as possible In
the face of this ruling, it is claimed, pro-
moters have continued to sell stock in pro-
posed land banks and to take part of the
proceeds for their own services.
One of these concerns failed before it
even had applied for a charter, but several
hundred thousand dollars worth of stock
had been sold to farmers, nevertheless.
In many cases the stock was sold with the
understanding that the company was to
apply for charter under the new federal
credit act, when in reality there was no
such intention on the part of the pro-
moters.

,mes in the Northern and Western

homes in the Northern and Western
States.
The Chicago Evening Post in comment
ing upon the matter observes:
Southern papers, not without excep-
tions. look askance at the loss of the negro.
Whatever be their attitude toward the
colored man so long as he remains in the
South, there seems to be very general
feeling that his absence will disturb seri-
ously industrial conditions. Wages are
rising and the scarcity of household do
mestics and of farm laborers is causing
concern.
"Still on the whole the shift of the negro
population is bound to have good effects
Negro children will have very much bet
ter educational opportunities in the North.
The feeling of race antagonism in the
South will inevitably be relieved. Further
more, the Southern States will necessarily
progress along mechanical and industrial
lines.
"The fact that labor in the South has
been cheap has retarded both the negro
and the whites. Labor-saving machinery
has not been installed as rapidly as in
other sections where human effort meant
the expenditure of more dollars. The wage
competition with the North, now feared,
will have wholesome results. The process
Of dividing large farms and of attracting
immigrant settlers is likely to be enhanced
Altogether a new civilization may be
created.
"The negro s migration will not only be
his second emancipation; it may be the
prelude to new emancipation for the
South

GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATORS
SHOW FARMERS RECEIVE 81 TO
IS PER CENT OF PRICES PAID
FOR MEAT

Government experts, after year of in
vestigations into livestock and meat mar
ket conditions throughout the country,
have reached these conclusions:
In the centralized markets the farmers
share of the gross returns ranged from
81 to IS per cent, while from 2 per cent to
5 per cent went to pay market expenses,
2 per cent to 9 per cent to the packers and
8 per cent to 80 per cent to the retailers.
''In the local sales from 81 per cent to
81 per cent of the gross returns was re-
ceived by the farmer and from Is per cent
to 38 per cent by the retailer"

Fire Loss For Nineteen
Sixteen Was Not Large

; 402 Main street, burned out.
There were about twenty residence
| fires during the year, in which the

Chief William Burris and Fireman
Harry Teeters were overcome by gas
fumes at the gas plant on October

There was only one fire this year
in which anyone was burned. On
September 20, Henry Harris had his
hands severely burned when gaso-
line stove exploded at Fl North
Fourth street.
The biggest fire that has visited
Keokuk in several years, the . Gate
City Seed company fire, occurred on

Automobiles Damaged.
Several automobiles were burned or
damaged by fire. One belonging to
P. N. Jacobs was almost totally de-
stroyed with a loss of $500. Losses
on other cars were small.
Another unique call for the depart
ment this year was the time the
Donahue row fell down on June 1.
One of the early residence fires at
which the loss was considerable,
occurred in the top story of the old
Pavilion at 210-214 Concert street, on
January so. The two last fires of
any Importance occurred at the home
of Mrs. Fannie Owens, 1911 Ridge
street, on November s, and at the
