and Said That Hughes

Elected.

Keokuk republicans in meeting
Mold at the county court house last
avenng, predicted victory for the
.ational. state and county ticket, and
vent on record as republicans that
j. ,hey would support the republican
ticket. The election of Congressman

Iowa one Of the speakers said. A
little tilt between w. E. Strimback
and Wells M. Irwin over the vote
On Strimback's motion that all re-
nublicans vote the republican ticket,
added an unexpected bit of fire to
the assemblage.
Mr.. Strimback said he didn't
know there were so many republi-
cans left. He had been hunting re-
uublicans, he said. but he found re-
nublicans who were going to vote
for this democrat and that democrat.
and he found tine same thing was
true of the democrats. They were
going to vote for this republican and
that. He then moved that 1t was the
sentiment of the meeting that re-
publicans vote the republican ticket.
The motion was seconded and car
ried. Strimback told the chairman
he thought only part OF the house
voted and he wanted rising vote.
There were demurrers at this sug-
gestion and the chairman was just
ruling him out OF order when ellis
NJ. Irwin jumped to his feet.
"The gentleman may be referring
to me-" he said. Il want to tell you
won't vote for any one who is an
enemy of Keokuk.
There was an explosion of ap-
plause, and lots of laughter over the
incident as Strimback explained he
did not aim at any one in particular,
and certainly not Mr. Irwin.
Stephen Irwin, chairman Of the
city central committee. called the
meeting to order. He explained that
it was to get some pep" into the
voters and to have some advice on
getting out the vote. He called DR..
FIN. Fuller to the chair. DR.. Fuller
decried the mud-slinging tactics in
the state, and said that while there
: was red fire missing from this cam
paign, he thought the voters were
thinking hard over the Issues.
Primary 10 Blamed.
Capt. A. II. Evans was the first
speaker called upon. He said it was
shame the way the state campaign
especially, was being carried on. He
laid 1t to a faulty primary system.
He said it was the duty of the re-
publicans to recognize the candidates
OF their party and give them full
support. He would extend this to
candidates in the county and con-
sressional districts. He urged the
full registration Of republican voters
and a full republican vote.

THE WAR NEWS.

Montenegro, finding further resistance i'm
possible, has surrendered to Austria, and there
is great rejoicing in Berlin. To looker-on
it would seem that the Allies have been seri-
ously at fault in not coming to the rescue of
Serbia and Montenegro. Vienna reports that
the Russian offensive in east Galicia and along
the Bessarabran frontier ended Jan. 18th with
Russian losses of 70, 600 killed or wounded and
5000 captured According to Sofia dispatch
virtual ultimatum has been delivered to the
Greek government by France and Great
Britain in which Greece is required to deliver
their passports to the ministers of the Central
Powers within 48 hours, failing which the
Ente"te will take. necessary measures" This
is taken to mean the overthrow OF King Con-
stantine and the placing of Eiphtherios Veni-
zelos the former premier, who always has
sided with the Entente powers, at the head
of a Greek. republic.

Harbor, on what he termed the "loveliest
island in the Gulf of Maine," he built sum-
mer residence. There, and in Boston during
the last fifteen years of his life. he enjoyed
freely and keenly social intercourse with his
friends and put in order his many papers and
essays, and wrote and published his Sketches
From My Life" In this book he had the sat-
isfaction of putting on record in permanent
form the accomplishments of singularly full
and complete life, covering over eighty years,
and which had touched many important per-
sons and events.
His fondness for Belfast, his native place
was great, and from the piazza of his summer
home at Dark Harbor he was in the habit of
pointing out to visitors with pride the beauties
of Belfast Bay, and those of the shore line and
hills extending from the Bluff to Mt. Batty
No one had keener interest in the early his
tory of the town or its present welfare than
he. And,to the last, he always welcomed with
cordial hospitality at his home such of the resi-
dents or descendants of his contemporaries as
were known to him.

JOPLIN, Mo-, is BOOMING.

Capt. Marion Staples has sent US a recent is
sue of The Globe of Joplin. Mo-, containing
facts and figures which show that that enter
prising western city and the mining district in
which it is located are going some. For ex-
ample, the research conducted by the Assooi-
ated Advertising Clubs of America reveals
that the average business increase in Jop-
lin in 1915 was Ga per cent, or 48 per cent
greater than the average for all the cit
les of the nation. 1t is also shown
that the Joplin district in tho year just
closed exceeded. in ore valuation output the
Alaska gold output for any year. and the total
Alaskan ore output for any year previous to
1916.
Capt. Staples was formerly Of Belfast and
we have reason to believe that he has shared
in the prosperity of Joplin. which has been his
home for many years, and in whose affairs he
has been active and prominent.

Yes. there is Joy in little things. We
don't have TO wear silk-lined opera
capes or eat lunch in a French restau-
rant to have a good time. No matter
how humble our home Dr. narrow our
life's path may be. if We are blessed
with health there are numberless little
joys awaiting us whichever way we
turn, but we must train our eyes to
see them and our hands to grasp them,
and finally we must tell others less
observant Of the treasure box we've
found.
