ment' of the investigation '-Was made
today by a member of the jury. Firs
witnesses will be summoned before
the court of inquiry Immediately after
the completion of the testimony in q
crime case now being heard.
The grand jury first will devote its
attention to the high cost of milk. II
will seek to establish the existence OF
a combine among the middlemen, the
distributors, which has raised the cost
of milk from 80 and 80 cents TO 40 cents
a gallon to the consumer without in
creasinS the price paid the producer.
1t will then turn its attention 10 the
coal situation. 1t will seek here also
to establish whether or not trust
exists among Polk county dealers and
whether that trust" il any, is re-
sponsible for the big increase in the
cost of coal and whether there is suf-
ticient justification therefor
Attention will then be turned TO
the food situation. According to the
Capitals informant, the grand jury
will endeavor to find out whether the
boost in food prices locally is justi-
fed. The inquiry will be prosecuted
in all lines where evidence of I'M
justified increases in prices is pre-
sented
The 'middlemen" will be the first
reviewed by the secret body. The
probe will be carried on with direct
bearing upon the middlemen and
commission men because the facts
that were laid before the grand jury

Ion for the milk he sells the distri-
butor. The distributor is now charg-
ing the consumer 40 cents a gallon for

Keokuk Nov 15.-There is an in
protect its own interests, and regard
less of partisanship or politics, elected
d blind man to the next state legisla-
ture.
Frank Oertel was nominated last
June with opposition on the republican
ticket c. w. Storms, of Fort Madi-
son, was nominated in the primary on
the democratic ticket over c. II.
nickey, of Keokuk. The oranges of
tie county were behind Storms and
would take steps to have repealed
every legislative action for the con-
duct of court business at keokuk.
Fight Over Court Houses.
When Lee county was established
and Fort Madison made the county
seat back in the early days, the lesis-
lature established a court house at
keokuk whereby the business OF this
city and the entire south end of the
county could be eXpeditiously attended
10 here. Lately, thru the rural dis
tricts there has arisen a cry to abolish
the two court houses. This movement
eliminated in the nomination OF
Storms and his pledge to the rural
districts of one county seat only.
Campaign Launched,
On Thursday night before the cleo
ton the keokuk retailers league heard
members of a self appointed COM
rittee of keokuk men tell what would
happen if Storms were elected, and
how necessary it was to Keofuk bust
ness interests. if the court house were
to be retained here. to fight Storms
and elect Oertel. II was explained
that the idea was not partisan one,
there was no question of politics. ana
no question Of an attack on the neigh
boring city OF Fort Madison. The at
tack was planned on the platform OF
Storms for one court house.
City Is Canvassed.
The retailers unanimously adopted
a letter already signed by the indus
trial association directors, and It's
members divided themselves into
groups to canvass the town and to
work on election day. Every hour the
polls were open on Tuesday COM
mittee of business men met every
voter who went to the polls. and there
were huge pIacards displayed with the
legend. "vote to retain the court house
for Keokuk. You can do it by voting
for Frank Oertel." When the polls
closed it was found that 3,717 Keokuk
men had voted out OF a registration OF
3,7s5. And when the votes were
counted it was found that the ma
I; r;T,, o-{x.an 0art 81 ly EeokIIk and one
