Every man should be compelled to take
a physical examination and learn just
how he can improve his health. To

The city council sitting as board Of
review will meet next Friday morning,
April % at 10 o'clock to hear the pro-
test of the state of Iowa against the as
sessment of the Mississippi River Pow
er company as returned by Assessor
Dimond this year. A conference was
held this afternoon between the city
council, ]. NJ. c. Hamilton, county at
torney, C. A. Robbins, assistant attor-
ney general, and number of citizens
over the proposed assessment. The
state informed the council that it
considers the new assessment too low
and will appear next week to present
a figure on which the rating should be
based
This protest has nothing to do with
the suit which is now pending in the
federal court over the assessment and
appeal thereon which was taken last
year. 1t will have to do only with this
years apportionment.
The power company will be repre-
scented at the hearing next week, along
with the state. and it is probable that
the amount of property assessable in
Iowa will be determined at the hear
ing 1t is understood that H. NJ Hav-

referring to the action of Keo-
kuk in calling off the fall celebration,
the Burlington Hawk-Eye makes the
following comment: Keokuk has been
having a fall festival which proved
successful during a series Of years.
Owing to the war, that festival has
been Cancelled. Perhaps, if the war
should end soon, the Keokuk folks
will regret that action and may res
cind it. For an annual affair of that
kind, which has grown popular and
has attracted many from the neigh
boring country and towns, is valu-
able asset and is not given up lightly
by the people who have come to
realize how much it means to the
community.
