condition for an hour and haif. A
third registrar was sworn In, and a
third line formed.
Arm Bands Given,


At each registration place were
representatives of the D. A. RS and
Red Cross organisations who pinned
arm bands of khaki on the men as
they came out of the registration
places. These bands were the mark
to show that the men had done their
duty. and had registered for Uncle
Sans new army.
The men at the registration places
for the most part realized the seri-
BUSINESS of the steps they were tax.
ing. although there was nothing Of
the funeral about the atmosphere In
these places. The usual Jokes about
seeing you in France" were passed
in some Of the wards.
A D. A. r. in one Of the precincts
pinned an arm band of khaki on the
son Of one who had been one OF
her girlhood chums. In another pre-
cinct, the father of two boys stood
and watched the arm band being
pinned on a young man, and then
turned away to hide the tears that
came into his eyes. There was a
general suppressed feeling Of emo
ton and sentiment lowering over
and into every registration place.
On the street, the arm bands were
saluted by some of the patriotic citi-
zens with considerable fervor. It
made one feel big as general with
all his gold lace and furbelows.
VIII Be Done Early.
The early registration made 1t
look as though the majority Of the
men would be registered by this
afternoon. From figures obtainable
early this morning, it looked as if
there might be thousand men regis
tered from Keokuk.
Sheriff Scott, who was in charge
of the registration in this county,
was early on the job and remained
on all day. He visited the precincts
to see that everything was in shape,
and to deliver the registration cards
which were made out. on Saturday,
and which were left to be delivered
to the registrars.
Arm bands will be sent to the men
who registered, but who are out OF
the city.
keokuk will register over 800 men
by the time the registration places
close tonight.
In the first ward at one o'clock ITO
had been registered. In the firth ward
at noon 1o6 names had been recorded.
At two o'clock registration in the other
wards was: sixth, 1872; fourth, 81;
second, 143; third, 1870; seventh, III.

members OF the department came
within the age limit. OF the four who

cooks Of Company L when it was first
organized in 1910 and Thomas Kollmy-
er was formerly a member Of Com

It for registration have had military
service. Assistant Chief William Bur
ris was in the regular army seven
years. He served with the marines
and cavalry and was in the Philip
pines five years. Charles Loeffler was
member of Company A, Iowa ma
tional guard Of Keokuk.
Eight From Gate City.
| Eight members Of The Gate City's
force registered today. Two were
from the reportorial star, four from
the business office and two printers.
A number of Keokuk business
houses closed at l o'clock this after
noon for the day. The city Offices
were closed this afternoon also.
Khaki arm bands were much in evil
dence on the streets today and the
mum Der to be seen at all times was
surprising. 1t is believed that every
person in Keokuk coming within the
age limit registered and that there
were no slackers.
1t is estimated that we'll over a
thousand men will have registered
here by this evening. Lee county
with $4,000 inhabitants is expected to
register 5000 and this would make the
proportion here 1900.
Registration Places Crowded.
Most of the registration places were
crowded when the registration was
started at 7 o'clock. In all of the
wards there was rivalry for the honor
iof being the first reg istered. At all
places there we're dozen or more
men waiting to register at o'clock
and so the honor of being first regis
tered is rather a. theoretical one.
There was no disturbance of any kind
attending the registration. There
were smiles at the registration places
instead Of frowns. Keokuk did her
bit willingly and freely.
Now that the skies have cleared,
everything points to successful civic
celebration in honor Of the day to-
night Those who registered are plan
ming to be in line along with Keokuk's
patriotic organizations and no doubt
the occasion will be one of the most
inspiring OF the year.
