.kEOkUK SYSTEM
USED IN OAKLAND
School Savings Plan Used In Local
Schools, introduced In Call
fornIa City With
Success.
RESULT OF VISIT HERE
Calvin M. Orr, President Of Oakland
School Board, Struck With
keokuk Idea While
in This City.

The wide awakenesS of the far west
as com pared with the middle west has
been much commented upon. But
there are still few pointers that the
middle west can give to the Pacific
coasters.
One OF these, Keokuk had the honor
of bringing to the attention of Oak
land, California. Maybe you do not
know it but In Oakland they have
what is called the Keokuk school saw
ings system, named and copied after
the system in use in the local schools
geven years ago when Calvin M.
Orr president of the Oakland school
board was in Keokuk, he learned Of
this school savings system and was so
struck with the idea that when he re-
turned to Oakland he prevailed upon
urate it there. And the Keokuk school
savings system was great success in
Oakland, $4,000 being collected from
the school students the first year and
deposited in the banks to their &C
counts.
All this IS reminiscent of Mr.. Orr's
visit here last week. He, with Mrs.
Orr, spent the week here, the guests
of Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Kfnnaman. They
returned home Saturday. Mr.. Orr is
a former Iowa boy, having been born
and raised in this state. He began
his business career in Ottumwa,
Iowa, with e. M. Majors Of this city
He served nine years on the Oakland
school board and is now in the whole
sale commission business and is one
of Oakland's prominent citizens.

TRAINING CAMP THERE

Keokuk men who are taken in the
seleciive draft, probably will train at
the government training camp which
will be established in Des Moines.
Some idea of the worth of the camp
to Des Monies and to Iowa may be
gained from the fact that it is esti-
mated that $3,0O0.000 per month will
be spent by the soldiers.
The following is from the Des
MONIES Capital and will be of interest:
Three million dollars month will
be spent in Des Moines by the sol
der boys who will make up the big
conscription army to be located at
Camp Dodge this fall, according to a
statement made today by w. w.
Gethmann, Iowa boy now secretary OF
army and navy YM.C.A work in 1lli-
nois, and who formerly had charge OF
the association work In the Browns
vile district.
Mr.. Getnmann arrived here today to
make arrangements for the immed-
late establishment Of Y. M. c. A. for
the colored troops at FIT. Des Moines.
1T will require $4,000 month to
pay the ordinary regiment" declared
the secretary. ct will take another
100000 to feed them. This means
100000 month for each regiment.

There is one big service that the

render the soldier boys, and that is
to furnish reading matter for them.
We did not have one-tenth enough

Mr.. Gethmann predicts period Of
great labor demand when the build

that the association had to import it's

construction men were busy on gov
eminent work. He declared local
workmen will be used on the "Y'

AT Camp Dodge the Y. M. G. A.
will have building for every 5000
men," he said. "That means about
seven buildings. They will be 40xl15
feet, lined throughout and constructed
for winter as well as summer use.
Due to a government ruling We get
our heat free from the central heat

There will be five men to build
