Merchants are urged to place ad-
yertising copy in the hands OF the
printer the day before it is to appear
in the newspaper If they will follow
such a plan, the printer can produce
a more artistic ad, proof can be sub
mftted and the work OF the mechan-
ical force accelerated so that tho pa
per can be issued on time and the
management given the opportunity to
make q better newspaper. Newspa-
per making is rush job all the time
and delayed advertising copy makes
the work more difficult.
There seems to be considerable
interest being taken in the surround
ing towns in Keokuk's fall festival.
The Donnellson Review has the fol
lowing to say regarding the proposed
celebration: Keoknk has fall cele-
bration scheduled for October 3 to T.,
inclusive. The program is not yet
completed, but enough is slated TO
convince us that it will be an inter
esting event. Ruth Law, queen OF
the air" the most celebrated woman
aviator. will be one of the principal
attractions: two political addresses
by the most noted republican and
democratic orators that can be pro-
cured will be something we will all
want to hear. as the political pot will
be boiling in great shape about that
time

ham hospital in Keokuk, Iowa, on
Wednesday, April 5th. 1916, at $40
D. M. at the age Of ten years. eight
months and seven days. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank MY
ers, of this city. and very sweet
and gentle little girl whose death is
of great sorrow to a host OF friends
who extend their deepest sympathies
to the bereaved parents. She was
afflicted with brain fever in the early
part of the winter. From this all
ment she seemed to have almost re-
covered when she again became Ill
and getting worse was taken to the
hospital for treatment. It was at
first thought she was improving, but
the change for the better did not
last and she passed away Wednesday.
The funeral services were held at the
Christian church Friday afternoon at
