"Some people they got sense. Some
people got money. got it voice
um. huh-what a voice."
Morris Horn, truckman tenor. in
serted his yet calloused hand between
the first and second buttons OF his
vest. No longer did he wear the frayed
necktie. the ullaundered collar and the
suit bagging at sleeves and knees. Be
ing an artist, Morris wore an ascot tie
and rolling hat, patent leather shoes
and an air of boredom.

dropped artistically, almost hiding a

FARM LABOR SITUATION.

The labor situation due to the departure of
Italians, Polaks, Hungarians and others for the
war fields of Europe, and also to the small num-
Der of immigrants coming to the United
States, is already serious economic question
in some of the eastern states and if the sltua-
ton fails to improve it may influence the atti-
tude of congress when the solons come again to
discuss the policy of further restriction of i'm
migration.
The constantly decreasing supply of labor. a
condition which has made itself felt most
notably in New England and In New York
has even wider significance in connection
with the development of agriculture IN the
middle west and in the territory on the other
side of the Missouri river. During the past
decade much has been done to encourage farm
life, but there can be little doubt that the num-
Der of farm laborers is growing less every year
in this section of the country.

MAXWELL AND HosIER.

s G. E. Maxwell is one of the most efficient
men Lee county ever has had as a member of
the board of supervisors. The business of the
board has, during Mr.. Maxwell's incumbency,
shown completeness that has won from the
public expressions of satisfaction that have
gone so far as to indicate an almost unanimous
wish that t he services of Mr.. Maxwell be
retained. Mr.. Maxwell is a candidate for re
election to the board. What he has accom-
phshed for Lee county is a strong recommends
ton and one that will be a vote puller in the
coming election.
The county board of supervisors ought TO be
a business body. It considers matters of vast
Importance to the people which need careful.
impartial and strictly business supervision. The
expenditure of the peoples tax money should
be placed in the hands of men who are quail
fed in that particular. This may be ae-
complished in the election of such as g. E.
Maxwell and Isaiah Hosier, whose whole OBJ
ject and aim while in office has been to do the
best possible service for the people of the
county.

KEOKUK's ALL RIGHT.

Somehow, despite the predictions of the
calamity howlers, there has been lot of pros
fperity in Keokuk within the past year or two,
and more is due to arrive. There are people
here who have plenty of confidence that Keo-
lluk does not have one foot in the grave be-
cause she is, in measure. shut out from a
traffic in liquor. There has not been any no
ticeable migration from this city since the open
saloon was denied right to operate here.
Think this over, YOU who say that keo-
kuk is retrograding and then take stock of the
accomplishments of industries fostered by the
Industrial association. Those who have come
here in the establishment of works have not
been moved by timid capital wagered against
the future of Keokuk, but they possessed solid
confident capital, invested by men who looked
ahead and knew where they were att who
We're in a position to know conditions and grasp
opportunity
Up to date, Keokuk's all right

WHERE ARE THE MEN?

The Army and Navy Journal claims that the
reducing of Mexican border conditions to a
stable and permanent peace will only be eff
fected when it is undertaken by the regular
army; that joint patrol systems and specially
constituted police forces will not do the work
satisfactorily and will continually provoke
trouble over questions of control. If the truth
of this be admitted, it adds to the disuuetude
already felt for those who have been giving at
tention to the matter of regular army recruit
ing We have already more work for our
army than it can attend to; we are on the eve
of great expansion of our military system.
For special service such as the aeronautic divi-
sion there are plenty of recruits, say the off
Gals at Washington; the engineer corps, ac-
cording to the same authority, will get the men
it needs. 1t is the men to fill the ranks that
are slow to come and hard to find. The national
guard was called to the border because the
regular army was faced with a condition that
required more men than it enrolled. How
many new men has our regular army recruited
IN the past three months9 Has the complement
of twenty thousand provided for before the
military bill passed been secured? What
proportion of the men recruited have been
needed to fill existing vacancies in the ranks
and to replace men whose terms of service
have terminatedl The answer to these ques-

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THIS LlIIlE sEIE.

This little self that struggles through earth's space
Passing from light to dark from mist to clear
Conscious of need, and yearning for Gods grace,
Possessed of giant hopes and puny fear,
So arrogant with pride, weak in PAIN
prey to sudden tears and strange delight
Pursuing phantom loneliness in vain-
What am but starfaH through the night,
The passage OF cleaning stellar flame
That its little hour and then expires,
Drowned by external dark from whence it came,
4 Sunk in of its frail desires
knowing not why it came whittier gone,-
siuddering ray against the popped dawn
