Local Banks Expect to Have Issue
Subscribed for by Them Taken
Up by End of the
Week.
SATISFACTORY RESULTS
Loans Are Being Purchased in Blocks
of One Hundred and Five Hun
dred--Many Pay
Cash.
Eighty thousand dollars

Eighty thousand dollars
49, worth of Liberty loan bonds
SES@ have been subscribed for by
IN - Keokuk banks, and the sale
Of these bonds is progressing In salts
factory manner according to one OF the
bankers today. The bonds are being
purchased in hundreds and five hun
dred lots, and there are a few pur-
chases in larger nominations.
In many instances money Is being
transferred from the savings accounts
for the purchase of the bonds, and one
Of the banks reports the majority or
it's sales are cash. The purchaser has
the benefit of paying for bonds in in
stallments If he so desires, two per
cent. due on Friday; Is per cent. due
June 2S; 20 per cent, July 30; 80 per
cent. August IS; 80 per cent. August
&c.
A large number of the subscriptions
are in blocks of five hundred. Other
subscriptions are for the hundred dol
lar bonds. Practically all OF the
money in payment for these bonds is
coming from bank accounts, one bank
er said "The government suggests
that we dig the money up" he said.
There is very little money to dig
up, VI IL 10 III SiiS be'iAiAN' " -
had one payment from which l judge
the money had been dug up from
somewhere, but for the most part
savings accounts and bank accounts
are being used"
It is intimated by some of the peo-
pie interested in the sale of bonds To-
cally, that the extensive advertising
features have proved more of him
drance than help, and that he sale
might have been heavier had there
been less fireworwks about it. Gov
eminent bonds have always been
classed with Gibralter for stability,
and all of the red fire and red tape
about the pushing of this issue has
had an opposite tendency to what the
treasury officials intended it should.
Keokuk is doing its bit along this
line and 1t is expected that the en-
tire issue taken by the local banks
will be subscribed for when Friday,
June Is arrives.

HEAVIEST RAIN
SINCE JUNE 1905
One Man In Des Moines Township
Lost Nearly Sixty Head Of
Sheep When Creek
Overlooked,

BONAiPARTlE, June IL. - There
were the heaviest rains Monday and
Tuesday of last week, in this vicinity
since the cloudburst Of June 8, 1905.
During the forty-eight hours the pre-
ctpitation was IN inches. Much
damage has been done. River and
creek bottoms and low lands have
been Overlooked, bridges have been
undermined and in some instances
carried off their foundations. 1t is
said that the extent Of the overflow
of Fox river is greater than it was
either in 1903 or 1905, and the same
may be said Of Indian creek. A
large bridge on this creek, southwest
OF Pennington, was partly washed
out and a force Of men have been
employed there during the past week,
getting the bridge put back in place
and the roads near same, which were
badly washed, in passable condition
again. A large area of ground plant
ed to corn has been overflowed and
the chance for a crop this year Is
gone. Sam NJ Clark of Des Moines
township, lost about sixty head OF
sheep by the overflow Of Indian creek,
and several others In the same COM
munity also lost stock. A lot OF
gardens and ground that had been
prepared for pickle patches on some
of the creek bottom was overflowed
and left in bad shape.
The registration for the selective
draft was held last Tuesday and at
every place in the county there was
no resistance and everything was
carried out in good shape. In the
country as a whole the registrations
have fully equalled the government
estimates, the cities exceeding the
estimates and the country falling
somewhat below. The estimate for
Iowa was $4,000, and the returns
thus far indicate a registration OF
215,OOO. In Van Buren, county the
registration is considerably below
the federal estimate. The estimate
was 1877 and the registration is 900.
However, rs to 100 Of Consumption
age have already enlisted, which serv-
ed to reduce the local registration.

cincts of this county is as follows:

Expert Of the Iowa State University
Suggests Some Methods Of
Avoiding Heat
Troubles.
CLOTHING IS FACTOR
Right Sort Of Garments Must be
Worn to Secure Comfort Dur
ing the Summer
Months.

How are you going to KEEP cool this
summer?
If 1t is q season like last summer 1t
will be difficult problem. but Profess
sor B. P. Fleming of the engineering
college of the State university, an au-
thority on the subject of heating and
ventilation, has made some sugges-
lions that will have great value for
the person who Attempts to combat
hot weather.
To keep cool on q summer day, &C
cording to Professor Fleming, two
things are necessary. First, person
must perspire freely; second, this
perspiration must be evaporated
freely.
For every pound of sweat that
leaves the body through evaporation
966 British thermal units are expend-
ed The body is the source from
which this heat must be obtained.
Hence, as sweat evaporates from the
surface of the body 1t removes heat
and gives the sensation of GOODNESS.
Sweating, with the healthy person
is involuntary. If one does not Per
spire freely he should consult physi-
clan at once. A person should neither
eat nor drink anything which tends
to interfere with free action of sweat
pores.
The evaporation of sweat can be es-
tablished artificially. The passage OF
air currents over the surface OF the
body greatly increases the rate of
evaporation. Hence, we may employ
electric fans, sit or work in a breeze.
or go riding to create an artificial
breeze.
Wear porous clothing for it assists
in admitting air to the surface of the
body, which effects a free evapora-
ton. Wool clothing and undercloth.
ing designed to act as means of In
sulating the body against outside
warmth is bad, II it interferes with
rapid and free evaporation OF pers-
piration.
Atmospheric humidity is a factor OF
great importance in maintaining bod
lily comfort in summer weather. In
high humidity the large amount OF
water vapor in the air checks evapor-
alton. On these days one is very I'M
com Portable although the temperature
may not be so high as on the day of
low humidity when we scarcely no.
tice the heat.
Many industrial establishments. ex-
pensive apartment houses and hotels
recognize the role of humidity In their
air conditioning apparatus by which
humidity is increased or decreased,
according to the season, in order to
promote the comfort of the occupants.
The same effect may be had in the
less elaborate devices to be found in
the household by setting block of
ice in front of an electric fan or in
some way causing the air current to
come in contact with ice. By this
means not only is the air current low
cred in temperature, but a portion of
the water vapor will be condensed
out of the air and it will be more eff
fective as a cooling medium when 1t
strikes the surface Of the body.
