0F AMERICANS FOR AFTER WAR AFFECTS

Of business for steamer lines to
Austria.
Nearly all the nations at war, but
particularly Germany and Austria
Hungary. have made remarkable ad-
yances in the creation of substitutes
for articles and materials that have
given out. Many Of these substitutes
will last far beyond the war, but
conservative men among the Central
powers feel positive that by and large
everyone will 60 back to the old
things in use. The fact that substi-
tutes have had to be created is but
the way of proving that importation
of raw materials is absolutely I'M
necessary and America is the great
est exporter of them in the world
Though no one can say with assur-
ance. prevailing opinion is that GER
tainly for long time after the war
there will be lull in emigration TO
America, because OF the anticipated
need for workers at home. Just as
many employers and labor experts in
Germany feel that wages there are
going to go up or stay up on an
attractively high level. so the feeling
exists in Austria Hungary that work
ing conditions here will be such that
the inclination to leave will be
smaller than ever before. In fact, a
return swing in the tide of emigra-
ton, bring back many now in Amer
lea, is by no means considered an
impossibility.

BIRD OF GOD.
Ny old Welsh neighbor over the way
Crept slowly out in the sun OF spring
Pushed her ears the locks OF gray,
And listened hear the robin sing
Her grandson playing at marbles stopped,
And cruel in sport boys will be,
Tossed a stone the bird who hoped
From bough to bough the apple tree
NAY" said the grandmother have you not neard'
My poor, bad BOY Of the fiery pit.
And how. drop by drop, this merclfu bird
Carries the water that quenches 1t?
HE brings cool dew in his little bill,
And lets it fall the souls OF sin;
You can see the mark of bis red breast still
OF fires that scorch as he drops it in.
~My poor bron rudy. My breast-burned bird,
Singing so sweetly from limb to limb,
Very dear to the heart of our Lord
Is he who pities the lost like HIM!
"Amen." said l to the beautiful myth;
Sing. bird of God, in my heart as well;
Each good thought to drop wherewith
To cool and lessen the fires of hell.
Prayers of love like rain drops fall.
Tears OF pity cooling dew,
And dear to the hear of Lord all
Who suffer like Him in the good they do!

KEoKUK's FALL CELEBRATION.

Up to about seven or eight years ago Keokuk
was famous throughout the tri-states for its an
mail fall carnivals, and whenever these
events were held throngs entered the city from
far and near and were given entertainment
that figures in recollection to this day. Iowa,
Illinois and Missouri contributed their quota of
pleasure seekers who came by rail, boat, auto
mobile and in conveyances drawn by the faith
full horse. Those were the days, say some. But
there are days and days This will be demon
strated right here in Keokuk during the week
of October TOT, when a fall celebration will be
held under the auspices of the Keokuk Retail
Merchants association and the Keokuk Retail
ers League. 1t is proposed that the event shall
be both entertaining and instructive, and in ad-
dition to high class attractions there will be an
abundance of educational features which Will
interest men, women, boys and girls
In its preparatory stage, the fall celebra-
ton proposition requires the good word and
the financial backing Of the businessmen of
Keozuk. That these may be obtained, a Joint
committee from the Retail Merchants associa-
ton and the Retailers League has been named
and is busy canvassing among the local mer-
chants in an effort to secure the necessary
funds So far the result has been most enco1lr-
aging and the members of the Joint committee
of which E. f Remand is chairman, are greatly
inspired with a spirit of hope for the success
of the celebration venture, a venture the carry.

ALL-THE-YEAR SCHOOL FAD.

There is growing sentiment throughout the
country in favor longer terms for city schools
than has been customary in the past The long
vacation in the has been found to be
time when pupils forget much OF what they learn
during the school year; time when they nave
leisure to loaf on the streets and TORN
gan Sections Of the country to see this long
vacation can not utilized to better advantage
u aans nersons are not familiar with the fact
the schools of number OF toresm tirs xaar
continue lin session practically the enure re- seI a.
In general the school year is forty-e1ght weeks ~
length which allows practically one month TOT
vacations distributed at various PERIODS during :.
the year-Burlngton Hawk-Eye
The scheme referred to by the Hawk-Eye Is
advocated by the upholders of efficiency
who assert that under the present system one
fourth to one-third Of the youths precious
time is wasted when it ought to be spent In ac-
curing knowledge.
But before any plan of this nature is adopted
in our schools it would be we'll to inquire
whether or not the vacation time is In tact
wasted, bearing in mind that ''no profit grows
where no pleasure is taken There seems to
be but one way TO protect the schools OF the ma
ton. and that is to get rid of the reforming fos
sils who having discarded youth and all It's
lows. would like to see the coming generation
made men and women overnight. Ii the pupil
were kept in school for the three months OF
the year that are now free to hlm, would ne
really learn fourth more than ne goes no" !
Would he actually be able to complete the
grades in a fourth time less than he would un-
der the nine months terrn7 The average
healthy youngster. of school attendance age
looks forward to vacation time through about
half the term, and to him the day that school
closes is the bright particular star OF reallza-
ton It is big event in his life. And what
old fogy. in his softest moment, would cut one
CLEAN of JOY from the life of kiddie? Where
is the man or woman who has the face to stand
up and publicly announce that Il am it?''
Will the faddists never come to reall-
cation that life is not all book learnlng'
The most useful lessons and the ones
that sink most deeply into our minds and
hearts are the ones never learned In school.
This may sound like heresy to the advocates OF
the new plan Of education and who are so per-
sistent in waving their theories and isms cults
and similar rubbish. They need few common
sense guardians whose devotion to youth has
not disappeared with flying hairs.
If the question of all-the-year schools Is
ever brought up in Keokuk it ought to be an
swered by "No'' so emphatically uttered that
the proposition will be scared out OF all the
years of its growth.
