LONDON WARM
FOR SAMMIES
Entrance Of Y. 8. Into war Has
Brought About Much Better
Feeling, keokuk Man
Says

l.. M. Harding, who was formerly
the manager of the local Woolworth
store, is now in charge Of similar
store In London, and in writing with
reference to war conditions in Eng
land says:
THE entrance of the United States
into the war has certainly brought
about much better feeling here to-
ward them. The comments, both from
the press and the man in the street,
have undergone great change.
II had the pleasure Of seeing our
boys march through the streets of
London, and they were given a very
warm reception.
THE cost Of living here has advanc-
ed very materially in the past year,
but now the government has taken a
hand and fixed maximum prices for
some of the most important food stuffs
such as meat, bread, sugar, tea, etc.
Labor is well employed-yery few
idle men now in London.
Business houses are carrying on
pretty much as usual except in some
instances they are working with short
staff.
Our business has been very good
the past six months. Everyone seems
to have money"

FUEL COMMISSION
NAMEUFUR KEOKUk
c. F. Mcfarland, J. F. Elder and Capt.

Presented cy the Fuel
administrator.
MAY CURTAIL TRAINS

Which There Can be an
Economy of
Coal.
MAY cURTA1L TRAINS

j. F. Elder and Cpatain T. F. Bald
win have been appointed by Fuel
Administrator Webster as members
of the fuel commission for Keokuk.
The committee will consist of G. f.
Mcfarland and the new apointees.
This commission takes the place of
the one previously named, Mr.. Nc
Farland being the only one of the
original three named who has agreed
to serve.
Mr. Webster has appointed Claude
r. Porter, u S. district attorney, as
member of the commission from Cen
terville.
Curtailing Of passenger service on
several Of the railroad lines of Iowa
is one of the possible means Of re-
lieving the coal shortage should the
situation become more acute, as sug-
gested by the federal fuel admins
traitor for Iowa, Charles Webster.
The fuel administrator said that it
would be better that few be in
convenienced than that the public
suffer from the lack of fuel He
suggests that on several railroad
lines in the state there are passen-
ger trains which can be dispensed
with for short period
1t is his purpose to secure the use
Of the engines for the transportation
of coal trains. It was the opinion
of coal dealers who were in session
last week that the shortage of
cars was the prime cause for the
lack of coal at this time.
It is probable that the railroad
commission will deal leniently with
those companies which dispose of
certain passenger trains to make
possible the use Of the locomotives
for coal hauling.

sonal interest in Shuman-Heink
since her appearance here year or
two ago. Recently at her concert In
Chicago she was presented with a
service flag having on It four stars
because she has four boys In the
American army. She has herself
adopted two U. s. regiments and
is providing for them many extra
comforts which otherwise they would
not have. The very tragic thing is
that she has two boys in the Ger
man army. She does her part to
throw the balance on the side of her
adopted country, America.
