MRS sHoUsE REPRESENTS
KANSAS AT THE CAPITAL

Washington, d. c., Feb. 17.-Mrs.
Jouett Shouse, wife of the Congress
man from the Seventh Kansas Dis
trict, was one of the eight speakers
at the breakfast given by the Con-
gressional Club to Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson in Washington yesterday.
Mrs. Shouse brought greetings from
Kansas to the first lady of the land.
In her remarks she referred to the
fact that the population of Kansas is
made up from peoples of all countries
and from all of the older sections of
this country, that the very cosmo-
politan nature of this population has
much to do with the strength and
virility and independence and pro-
gressiveness of the Kansas people and
that she felt commissioned by all,
without reference to nativity or po-
litical affiliation, to bring message
of good will and affectionate greeting
to one of the bost beautiful, charming
and tactful ladies who ever has been
mistress of the White House.
The breakfast of the Congressional
fClub was one of the most brilliant as
semblies of the women of official life
ever seen in Washington. The vari-
Gus toasts were interesting and de-
lightful. One of the best was that
given by Mrs. Shouse.

GlRLs!LEMON JUICE
IS SKIN WHITENER
HOW TO MAKE A CREAMY BEAU.
TY LOTION FOR A FEW
CENTS.

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a
whole quarter point of the most re.
markable lemon skin beautifler at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces OF
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands.-(Advt)

SUGGESTION CHANGE

OPPONENTS OF THE MOVEMENT
GET EXCEEDINGLY BUSY
AT ONCE.
s1,RT WITH A PETITION
Advocates At McDoweil's Retention
Declare That It is the Fest Taught
And Most Efficient School to be
Found Anywhere.

No sooner had the advocates OF the
present school at Mcdowell for the
Ninth district heard of the movement
for consolidation Of the city and
district school than they got busy.
And they got exceedingly busy, too.
They Immediately resorted to the old.
fashioned American plan of a petition.
This petition most emphatically dis.
sents from the claim made by the
proponents Of the plan and on the
contrary earnestly asks the county
board OF education to continue the
existing arrangement.
The advocates of continuing the
school at Mcdowell have decided
advantage in that they control the ad,
visory board for the Ninth district.
All OF the three members, VIM. ].
Alexander, Clinton j. Moore and Ra-
leigh S. Hopkins, are said to be pro
nounced in their views that no change
should at this time, at least, be made
1t is insisted by them that Mcdowell
school. with an admittedly inefficient
plant is the equal of the most efficien:
schools in all the state, that it's teach
ing corps cannot be excelled anywhere
and that 1t has with it's 275 pupils
large enough number to create that
enthusiasm and loyalty essential for a
first class school, They declare that
they are more than willing to risk a
comparison of the work done there
with that done in the best equipped
elementary schools of the country.
When the county board of educa-
ton meets on the first Monday Of
June to discuss the question the advo.
Gates of non-cons olidation declare that
they are going to have delegation so
large to protest that the county super
intendent's office will not be large
enough to hold them.
On the other hand the advocates o.
the movements are not letting any
grass grow under their feet 1t is 60
ing to be quite an interesting contest
with the odds, at this time at least
seeming to be largely in favor of those
who are opposed to consolidation.

LAMB PRICES ARE
HIGHER THAN EVER
B FORE KNOWN HERE
CAR LOAD SHIPPED FROM coUN.
TY THAT BROUGHT FARMERS
FIFTEEN CENTS.
THREE HUNDRED IN LOT
In Spite OF The Hard Winter And The
Lack OF Grazing the Crop This Year
VIII Bring Considerable sum Into
The County.

M. e. Allen, the veteran live stock
buyer of this county, last week shipped
car load of lambs that were worth
approximately $4,000 to the farmers.
Mr.. Allen paid fifteen cents for the
lambs and they averaged sixty-seven
pounds or brought to the owners an
average Of over $40 each. There are
usually about 300 head of lambs In a
car load.
No such prices have ever before
been received for lambs. Every one
thought last year when May and June
lambs brought ten cents that new
record had been made, but the ad
vance this year is full fifty per cent
over that Of the previous season.
The crop this year, while bringing a
mountaineering price, is not compare.
BILE either in the number or in the
quality of the lambs with many crops
OF the past. 1t is doubtful if it will
| bring any more money to the county
than that Of several years ago. A
large number of lambs, due to the
excessive cold and the lack of pastur
age, died during the winter. The 9th
ers are short in weight because of the
lack of grazing.
In spite Of these handicaps there
will be large number to be shipped
in June and If present prices should
hold up an enormous sum would come

tainment.

Arrangements for Keokuk's first
chautauqua are being made by com.
mittees in charge of the assembly.
The dates are August 81 to September
l, inclusive, and the chautauqua prom.
Uses to be one Of the most interesting
attractions that Keokuk has ever Of
fered. The program for the week will
be varied enough to give people OF
varied tastes entertainment, amuse-
ment and instruction.
J. o. Boyd is president OF the chau-
tauqua association and Howard w.
Wood is the secretary. Officials and
committee members are all working
hard for the success of the assembly.
and It is sure thing that whatever is
offered during this week will be Of the
highest class and will be given In the
most interesting fashion.
Keokuk has never before had an op-
portunity to support chautaquua in
its own town, having had to rely on
the surrounding districts for its
amusement in this line. With such a
splendid course to be given here, there
will be little excuse for local people
failing to patronize the assembly. Peo-
pie from the surrounding districts who
come to Keokuk for their recreation
will find Just what they want in the
Keokuk chautauQua course, and from
all sides prospects are bright for the
success Of the venture.
Local business men will doubtless
endorse the chautauqua and the pro-
moters are looking to the local people
for their support and financial aid.

Several important matters are to
be discussed at the meeting OF the
Keokuk Retailers league at Wayland
tomorrow night. There have been
complaints from the business men OF
the city regarding telephone service,
and this will be discussed by the
league members at the meeting to-
morrow. The matter of invitations
to the fairs and chautauquas In the
towns near Keokuk will be another
hit of business to be taken up by
the leaguers.
The Importance of letting the sec
rotary know the exact number who
WI. attend the meeting Thursday
night is urged on every member
They are asked to let Mr.. Fulton
know by tomorrow evening. Inc
Wayland women must be notified of
the number of plates to provide, ana
the number Of places In the automo-
biles must be arranged Tor.
Attention Of the members Is called
to the fact tina, this is strictly
business session. For this reason II
will not be possible to include the
women in the trip tomorrow night.
The members are asked to regard
this as strictly business session.
and not as social affair as the
Montrose trip was.
The leaguers will leave Keokuk
between 5 and o'clock. The roads
are in splendid shape now, and 1t
will take considerable rain to make
any Impression on them. The trip
to Wayland last year proved one OF
the most popular of the season, and
it is expected that the retailers will
take another big crowd tomorrow
night. A splendid supper is assured
and there will be plenty to interest
every member of the league in the
business session.
