Members.
THE DESIGN IS ORIGINAL
/
Blue Enamel With White Letters and
Indian Head in Brown
Enamel in
Design.
THE DESIGN Is ORIGINAL

Samples of the official emblems for
the Keokuk Automobile club have
been received here by George Has
sail, president Of the. club Two hun
dred of these have been ordered and
will be here at once, it is presum ed.
The emblems are neat looking affairs
and will have the added merit Of
being entirely original.
The insignia is in the shape of a
circular disc about two inches in
diameter. Around the outside edge
in blue enamel with white letters is
the name Keokuk Automobile club,
Keokuk, Ia. In the center in brown
enamel with touch of red in the
head dress is the replica CT the Chief
Keokuk picture. This is en- nickled
background.
The entire medallion is both novel
and good looking and will make a
fine insignia for the radiators of the
Keokuk cars. They can be spotted
anywhere with this medal, and the
original design and coloring cannot
help but attract. attention.
The order is being made up now
and will be shipped soon. President
Hassall expects. The three which
were sent today were samples to
show how the emblem will show up.

CHICKEN SUPPER

Montrose Women Are Planning to
Have Splendid Spread for keo-

BIG CROWD rs EXPECTED
Members WIN Attend chautauqua
Sessions Following Short Bust
ness Meeting Of
Their Own.

| The Keokuk Retailers league is ex-
pecting to take big delegation on
the trip to Montrose Thursday night.
A fine chicken supper will be served
by the Ladies' Aid society of the NJ.
q. church and judging from the fine
supper that the league members had
last fall at Montrose. they are as
sured of another real feed on this
occasion. The league members who
win go are asked to notify the secre-
tary. The members who will take
their autos are also asked to make it
known. The cars will leave the In
dustrial association at the usual time
The league members are planning
to attend the session of the Montrose
chautauqua which opens Thursday.
The Montrose chautauqua people have
respected the agreement between the
Keokuk merchants in the matter of
ticket selling and have not made any
canvass here. It is up to the Keokuk
merchants to reciprocate, however,
when they get to Montrose Thursday
night, and to purchase a season
ticket.
A member Of the Montrose board
said today that while the purchase OF
single admission tickets helps out gen.
orally. the purchase OF season tickets
is the only real help to the Montrose
people who are back of the chautau-
qua movement and who have put their
to the guarantee. Montrose
trade has always been loyal to Keo-
kuk and the merchants here can show
their appreciation by the purchase OF
these season tickets, officers of the
league here believe, and think that
the merchants will do so. At any
event, they will have the opportunity.
It is hoped that there will be a
big crowd from Keokuk on this trip
Thursday night and it is planned to
have supper served out of doors. Time
will be given for a short business ses- !
zion before the chautauqua program
begins.

Thirty-one Rooms Have Been Fitted
Up and Are as Finely Furnished
and Equipped as
Possible.
HOLMES IDEA
Work Was Done According to His
PIans-WiIl be Bachelors Quar-
tiers on This Top
Floor.

The newly completed and splendid
/ ly furnished seventh floor OF the Ho-
1 tel Iowa was formally opened last
evening. There are thirty-one rooms
on this floor completely furnished.
with steam heat, hot and cold water
| in each room, telephone, dresser.
writing tables, chair and double
! brass beds. The rooms are all hand
somely decorated and papered, each
room in different design. The rooms
are electrically lighted with ceiling
lights. The rate for these rooms is
dollar and they are the finest to be
had for the money. In fact many
hotels have rooms at higher rates
which are nowhere near as well furn-
ished or as pleasant as these quarters.
After day of hard work yester-
day, Manager Holmes was able to
open the rooms last night and the
convention delegates are occupying
them. The work on this floor was
started about six weeks ago, and
room was planned by Manager
Holmes to get the best ventilation
possible, and he has succeeded ad-
mirably. The hall way is wide as
the hall ways through the lower part
of the house. The cross hall ways
are even wider. Each room is light,
airy and pleasant and it will be hard
to find their equal anywhere in any
hotel. Many of the rooms are large
enough to accommodate two beds. |
searfs Match Paper.
The decoration of each room Is
different. and the wall paper is in a |
neat pretty pattern. To match the |
wall paper, Mrs. Holmes has en-
broidered dresser scarfs, the initials |
H. l." matching the paper in each
particular room. This has been no
light task for Mrs. Holmes and the
dresser scarfs are handsome pieces
of work.
The seventh floor rooms will be
known as bachelors rooms. No wom-
en- guests will be assigned quarters
on this floor. At each end Of the
hall is shower bath of the latest
design and a toilet room.
All Outside Rooms
All of the rooms on the new floor
ire outside rooms. They are roomy
and well ventilated and give splen-
lid outlooks to all parts of the city.
From the rooms on the court, unob-
structed by anything, part of the new
tract is visible. From the
rooms on the street sides of the !
lotel a fine outlook is possible to all |
parts of the city.
The fitting up OF the seventh floor
INTO dollar rooms was the idea of |
Manager Holmes and was sanctioned |
oy the directors. The plans were |
made up by Mr.. Holmes and the |
looms constructed according to his |
IDEAS That he has made splendid |

APPOINTED
TO TEACH
AT NORMAL

County Superintendent Shepard this
morning received official notice from
the state educational department that
his appointments of E. II. Black OF
Chickasha: j. W. Morgan, Of Minco,
and A. T.. Wickizer, OF Amber, as spe-
cial instructors at the Central State
Normal, at Edmond. for the summer
course. had been approved.
II is customary for the state depart
ment of education to allow only two
instructors from county, but owing
to the fact that last years attendance
of teachers from Grady county to the
summer normal. was 125. and for the
further reason that it now seems be-
tween 1876 and l50 teachers will attend
the 1916 summer course at Edmond,
the request Of Superintendent Shep-
ard to add a third instructor from this
county was granted In addition to
the three instructors named, Mr..
Shepard himself will be present at the
Edmond summer normal an average
of three days out Of every week. act
inf as an instructor.
Mr. Shepard is urging every teacher
in Grady county to attend this sum-
mer's course. In speaking in connec-
tion with the need of the course and
material good which all teachers may
receive from attending, Mr.. Shepard
said this morning, "A number of Gra-
dy county school boards are attaching
so great an Importance to this sum
mer course that I am informed they
will refuse to contract with teachers
who may fail to attend"
The summer course at the Central
State Normal. at Edmond, win open
May 25. and continue for ten weeks,
The only expense those attending will
be at win be the small amounts
which will have to be for board.
