.KEOKUk SLOGAN
IS SUGGESTED
President Mcfarland Of Industrial
Association, Gives One to Re-
taiiers League Last
Night.
ALL TO BOOST
Thinks That ThoushIess,y, Often
times, People Hurt City by
Careless Re-
marks.
WANTS ALL TO BOOST

A new slogan for Keokuk was given
to the Retailers league last night by
&c. F. Mcfarland president Of the In
dustrial association Here 1t Is, Not
One Knocker in Keokuk. Not One. "
II anybody has the chance to boost it
is the merchant, Mr. Mcfarland said
and he urged that every member of
the league remember this and to not
fail to tell anyone who happened to
knock the town just what has been
done, and what will be done in the flu
ture.
II you stop to think what Keokuk
has here, 1t is astonishing the number
Of achievements you'll find belonging
to the town, Mr.. Mcfarland told the
leaguers. The Industrial association
he said was going to get up some
booklets telling of the achievements
OF the town. how the manufacturing
industries had been growing. the new
factories secured and all OF that.
Now when people come into your
stores and start knocking. want you
people to have that information right
McForland said.
Il think Keokuk has loyal, self
sacrificing crowd of merchants and
business men. The success Of this
organization is testimonial to that.
Let US be boosters for everything.
You can help the Industrial associa-
ton and the town il you will be q
booster
The success OF the Standard Four
Tire company was cited. Ninety men
are being employed there now and the
pay roll weekly in the plant is $1,000
and more. The sales have gone up in
leaps and bounds. and now the plant
is ready to enlarge.
People damage q town when they
thoughtlessly knock Mr.. Mcfarland
said. He cited an instance OF where
. man did some knocking and It got
back to the Industrial association and
people he was knocking in a way that
proved the point to his argument that
people without thinking often hurt a
good cause One little false impress
sion can do much harm.
$50 that is why / want to sugges;
this slogan and hope you will adopt
it:
Not One Knocker in Keokuk, Not
One"

HIGH PRICE OF
NEWS PRINT
Publishers All Over the Country Feel
ing the Pinch Caused by
unheard Of Increase.

The following from the Ottumwa
Courier is only one instance of hun
dreds where the newspaper man has
felt the heavy hand of operating
under the advanced prices. The
Courier presents the situation to its
readers as follows:
The great increase in the price
OF materials entering into the cost
Of newspaper production presents the
greatest problem that has ever con-
fronted the rev spaper publishers In
their own business. 1t has already
caused the suspension and failure Of
quite a number of papers and more
are sure to have to go out OF bust
ness. Some papers have contracts
for paper that run till January J.,
1917, and they are not yet affected,
but they will be at the expiration OF
their contracts.
Up to this year, print paper in
rolls has been selling for about $40
a ton: the cpen market price now
is about 500 a ton. The Courier
has been notified that after January
1. 1917, its paper will cost it $50
a ton more than 1t has been pay
ing. The Courier this year will use
about 400 tons of print paper. If
the increase named is put into eject,
the print paper used next year by
The Courier will cost at least $4,000
more than 1t has been costing. No
small city daily can stand such an
increase in its expense without In
creasing its income.
This is the crisis that confrorts
the newspapers and The Courier
takes this occasion to take its read
ers into its confidence and make
this frank statement of the condt
lions that not only confront it, but
all other newspapers. The price OF
stereotype and linotype metal and
stereotype paper has advanced in
some cases, two and three times
over the price of year ago.
There are conditions which the
newspaper IAN meet only by in
creasing it's income.

Retailers Last Night Decide
That They Want Festival
Next Fall and Perhaps
in the Spring.
TO MAKE UP DEFICIT
Subscriptions Will be Doubled
in Order to Take Care Of
Note Which Was
Given.

Keokuk will have another celebra-
ton next fall. perhaps one In the
spring, and the committee which was
in charge of the festival which closed
here last week will be in charge of
the event. This was the sentiment OF
the Keokuk Retailers league last
night after hearing reports from the
committee, and listening to some OF
the suggestions OF the individual mem
bers Of the committee. 1t was de-
cided that the old committee should
shoulder the burdens again and the
body was made permanent one. The
merchants decided that they had made
colossal mistake in ever giving up
the celebration, and will consider
something In the festival line before
next fall.
A report from the finance commit
tee, J. w. Winger, chairman, showed
that there was a deficit of $1,000. 1t
was the sense Of the meeting that the
subscriptions should be doubled, and
that the committees which collected
the original pledges should 60 out for
this additional money. Mr. Winger's
report showed that subscriptions were
81. 1875; receipts from the shows
$3,O17.4S; balance 1929, making the
total receipts $5,746.63. The expendi-
lures were $7,656.S4. The deficit was
S1,9O0.31.
It was shown that subscriptions for
the dam celebration In 1913, which left
bad taste in the mouth of the visi-
tors amounted to $500. The commit
tee with one-third Of this amount,
gave Q festival which IL declared by
home people and visitors to have
been the best ever put ON here. The
committee would not have gone SO
deeply in debt had the capacity Of the
tent been larger, it was reported. The
contract called for tent to seat 81
900, but it was found that the tent did
not take care of that unmber.
The celebration committee has
signed q note for the deficit and the
league will stand back Of them by Of
fering to double their subscriptions. 1t

the suspension of papers because OF
the increasing scarcity and advancing
prices The present situation can
only be aIleviated by increasing the
output or reducing consumption.
The commission has conferred
with a number Of publishers regard
ing ways to reduce consumption in
addition to the cutting off of returns,
eliminating waste, ETC., which many
newspapers are reported already. to
have done. The publishers are of
the opinion that there is still an OPP
portunity to effect a considerable re-
duction in consumption by cutting
down the size OF Sunday newspapers.
They feel tn ut the elimination of GER
tain features would meet with public
approval and woul0 not decrease the
revenues of the publishers.
THE paper saved by cutting down
the size Of one large Sunday edition
several pages will be sufficient to
keep a number of smaller papers SUP
piled for a considerable time. TN
less present supplies of paper can
be increased, which does not now
seem probable. such unselfish action
on the part If large city papers ap-
pears to be the only means that will
save many OF the smaller publishers
from going out Of business.
THE commission asks your CO.
operation in this matter and would
like to know your attitude toward
this proposition. The commission
also would appreciate any sugges-
tions that occur to you regarding
practical ways of making this pro-
posal effective"

During the talk on the coming cole

one Of the members that q monthly

would give the committee money to go
on and give permanent fund for
celebrations. This matter was re-
ferred to the celebration committee
with power to adopt sush sugges-
ton.
President Justice told the leaguers
that it was up to city to entertain
it's friends. He said people wanted
entertainment and that the mer-
chants had to sponsor such things. He
said that Quincy for instance, enter
tains its friends three times . year.
and that other cities are doing the
same thing. He thought 1t was up to

fact that considerable business must
