keokuk Dealers In Women's Mer-
chandise to Stage Attraction at
Grand Theatre in
September.
rs MEETING WITH FAVOR
Show Will Likely Last From Three
to Five Days-Each Exhibition
Forty-five Minutes
Long.

Keokuk is to have its first fashion
show some time next month. AT
engagements are being made by keo'
kuk dealers in women's merchandise
for a showing of the new fall goods
and these will be completed at meet
ing of those interested in the propo'
sition, to be held later in the week.
A meeting of women's wear, mer-
chants was held this morning and the
project received hearty approval.
The fashion show will be put on
at the Grand theatre in the early
part of September and will last from
three to five days. The new women's
garments, shoes and millinery will be
displayed to the public on live models.
There will be two exhibitions each
evening, one before each show. These
will last about fortyfive minutes
each.
1t is expected that all local mer-
chants who handle women's goods
will have displays entered in the ex-
hibition. When the curtain rises be-
fore each showing, the models will
be lined up on the stage. An official
announcer will call the models out
to the front of the stage, one by one,
and tell from which business houses
the articles displayed, came from.
The fall fashion show will no doubt
prove a pleasing novelty here and
achieve a substantial success. Keo-
kuk has had nothing of this sort in
the past, although number OF other
cities have tried out the idea with
distinct success. Spring exhibitions
that attracted wide attention were
held in Iowa City, Peoria and other
near points.

BIG THINGS ARE
BEING PLANNED BY
THE SOCIALISTS
Party Expects to Elect Ten
Members of Congress and
Possibly One United
States Senator.

New York. Nov. 7.--While the So
cialist party leaders entertain no
hopes that the name of the next pres
ident of the United States will be
Benson. they do confidently predict
that the size of the Socialist vote that
will be polled throughout the land to-
day is likely to throw the scare of
their lives into the "old parties"
During the campaign ending with to-
days election the Socialists have di-
rected their efforts principally to
those states and localities which they
considered fertile ground" for their
propa ganda.
In the conduct of their campaign
they were better supplied with funds
than ever before and in consequence
were able to put more speakers in the
field and distribute more campaign lit
erature than ever before in the his
tory of the party. They expect that
substantial results will follow their
activities. The leaders here say that
New York city will send two Social
ist representatives to congress. They
predict that there will be at least
ten in all from the entire country. and
some of them talk glibly of winning
a seat in the senate and even of car
rying Nevada, Oklahoma and possibly
one or two other states.
