Country Club Opening.
The Country club will be formally
opened tomorrow as previously an
nounced. Mrs. e. s. Baker and Mrs.
J. ]. Ayres will be sponsors for the
bridge party at 8 o'clock A supper
at 6 o'clock followed by dance on
the pavilion will constitute the So
cial features Of the day. 1t is hoped
that every member of the club will
| be in attendance at the events Of
the opening day.
| Women Invited to March.
| Secretary Baker Of the war de-
partment has formally asked the Co
operation OF the women in making
June 8. registration day, an occasion
| of patriotic devotion to our country.
| In response to this request the Keo-
kuk committee for the local patriotic
demonstration is asking the members
of the Red Cross society and other
| women's organizations to show their
appreciation OF the young men, WIZ
on that day register as defenders OF
democracy and free government, by
marching in the patriotic parade.
Marching is always associated with
the military Idea and while Keokuk
women are not in the habit Of pa
rading, it Is earnestly hoped by the
committee that they will on that one
particular occasion fall into line. The
plan is to have Red Cross banner
as well as an American flag at the
head of the women's division. In the
cities all over the country, women
are to march in the patriotic parade,
and Keokuk women will no doubt
make a similar demonstration. The
woman's section if it is formed.
should be a representative one and
include the patriotic and civic or
CARNATIONS.

A Busy House Wife.

ln all our homes is busy house wife,
To keep things going and keep things
nRht;
She's up in the mording, tie very first
Che,
When breakfast is ready ard every
thing done.
The family come poking in one by one
Ard the very last one is that spoilt
sporty son.
When breakfast is over, the dishes to
wash,
us time in the garden to bring in the
squash;
The beans are to string and potatoes
to scrape
the house Is to clean and the beds are
to make;
In the midst Of it all, the company call
And aboat that time, the children all
squall.
The busy house wife then slips to her
room
For a change of her costume, for its
now nearly noon,
Her apples and cherries were then on
the range,
She knows very we'll should be stirred
for change;
The cakes in the oven, which is far too
hot,
Such mornings experience for the
busy house wife.
When dinner is over she lies down to
rest,
Then a ring at the phone, "Ohl home
of the blest"
A good disposition, this is surely test
Was there ever time for house wife
to rest?
Each day of the week such a program
is found
And daily experience the whole world
round.
Now she picks up her sewing to put in
stitch,
Her darIings brought IN, that fell down
in ditch;
She feels much like saying, On dear.
III be switched,
But instead she takes the dear lamb to
caress,
For mothers love always will stand
every test,
But surely there is no time for mother
to rest.
The next to come in was the man of
her heart,
Get him something to eat quick-if its
only tart;
A call to the city important to make.
viii bring something pretty for dear
wiSey's sake,
Such hurry was never in, in all of
life
An every day experience of busy
house wife.
So to all of you men who never see
right,
Just tack up these lines to keep them
in sight,
So if its your fate that dinner is late,
RENE mber you We always mot" hired
Kate;
There are so many things in this busy
life
Many duties lep ending on every House

vocate. And above all, be an enthus.
last in upbuilding the government in
its prosecution of this war, and in the
end we will reap the reward of the
successful enthusiast.
Enthusiasm is not a gift. 1t can be
acquired by any normal person. 1t
does not take the place of will power
but is the legitimate child of the will.
Given the desire to succeed, enthusiasm
cean be cultivated, and when once ac-
CURED its power is limitless.
Enthusiasm is not the exclusive
dover of youth. Some of the brightest
minds the world has ever known have
carried it down to the valley of the
shadows.
Neither is it the peculiar heritage of
genius, for many of the worlds great
est benefactors have been people oil
mediocre gifts, but obscessed with a
burning enthusiasm for accomplish
ment.
Therein lies its greatest lesson. All
may possess it, and with its magic
power no life need be a failure.
The strenuous days through which
we are passing call for unbridled en-
thusiasm.
Be an enthusiast! Only the derelists
and failures will sneer.-Grifin News

"JUST AN ENTHUSIASTIC"

One often hears the expression, when
referring to another who has waxed
eloquent on some subject near to his
heart :'0h, he is just an enthusiast;
you must not take him too seriously. Z"
Yes, just an enthusiast. but what a
wonderful thing is enthusiasm! Dead
men have it not. 1t is the exclusive
possession of live men-of men of pow
er of dynamic force.
1t is hard to imagine what this life
would be without enthusiasm. Perhaps
the warden of Sing Sing prison would
have a clearer perception than most
people of world devoid Of enthusiasm.
The quality we call enthusiasm has
done much for the world. Columbus
had it, and he discovered a continent
Fulton had it, and we have the steam
engine. The Wright brothers had it,
and as a result the currents of the up
per ether are almost as we'll known as
those of the deep. Marconi had it, and
tie wireless has eliminated the element
OF distance on this earth. And what
shall we say of Edison, the greatest
enthusiast Of them all? What would
be our condition today even without
his inventions?
You call it genius. But who ever
knew a genius who was not an enthus-
, last on his hobby? What is genius,
anyway, without enthusiasm? A mere
visionary!
Be an enthusiast in your daily bus
