bleached sulphite being the best quail

first, by breaking the logs into small
chips, dumping into huge watts, and
then cooked from twelve to eighteen
hours After being cooked 1t goes to
the tubs to be mixed and beaten In
to smaller fibres, and Is then run
through a machine which forms 1t in
to thick sheets, and it is now ready
to be sent to the paper mill to be
made into fair grades Of writing and
printing papers.
Unbleached sulphite pulp is cooked
6 to 8 hours, but not bleached, and Is
used in the manufacture OF cheaper
papers, or can be slightly mixed with
the bleached sulphite, to cheaper an
otherwise bleached sulphite paper.
Sulphate plup Is cooked for only a
short period Of time, and Is used In
the manufacture of the cheap papers,
such as wrapping.
Ground wood, the cheapest pulp
made from wood. goes largely into
the manufacture Of news print paper.
Rags and sulphite are mixed to a

Of writing papers, depending on how
good the paper is to be, or price to

used.
Linen rags are used to make only
the best and highest grades OF pa

Here In Keokuk
~ An INTERESTED OBSERVER

Keokuk society of antedam days made
to the incursion from New York and
Boston.
Which does not mean that Keokuk
society ever snubbed newcomers with
frigidity simply because they are new
corners. Some of the newcomers were
welcomed and embraced and lauded
and made much Of from the very day
they arrived here.
Tho otdtime Standard Here.
The real first commandment OF that
old Keokuk society was that money IN
whatever amount does not count IN
the least, and the achievement cui-
ture. manners and ability OF men anu
women determines their value to so
ciety. Now, it generally takes little
time to discover whether the new
conner could pass the first degree ex-
animation, and money without refine
ment or brains failed to pass. Persons
of fixed position elsewhere, by this
standard, were always welcomed
ouickly-that is to say within two or
three years.
The more one analyses it, the more
one becomes convinced that the only
sure way out Of the hazy maze rs to
say that by the general definition keo-
kuk has no society with capital IN
itial. The old Society is sick OF sort
OF a palsy; the new society Is Just
emerging from It's cocoon Of SILK. Fer

thing at all about Keokuk Society.

of the real citizenship OF community:
In Keokuk that is superlatlVely al

three quarters of century. Nowhere

Appreciates Big Men.


Appreciates Big Men.
It might as well be admitted that
these two things-the spirit of COM
radeship and lack of opposition-are
at the foundation Of the greatest fault
to be found with Keokuk ideas.
The greatest fault to be found with
Keokuk Is, that it is too charitable OF
the faults of others for its own good
if that be treason make the most of 1t.
The men who have been placed on
pedastals in Keokuk have been really
big men. They have sat on the United
States supreme bench and in the
cabinets Of three presidents; they
have commanded divisions in the war
between the states; they have also
placed their names permanently in
medical and surgical history; they
have had a large share in the develop
ment of Iowa from part of Wisconsin
territory to one of the first states in
the union From Doctor Galland,
through Judge Johnstone and Sam
Clark to Judge Logan, the list is too
long to catalogue here-the point is
that Keokuk appreciates big men of
worth and never fails to express that
in every possible way.
High Standards Maintained.
Keokuk standards for Judging man
kind are very high ones. But these
are applied with perfect
fairness and friendliness, and any mis-
takes are errors Of charitable overes-
timation.
Keokuk's attitude toward its CON-
ponent parts is that Of watchdog to
ward his household. All keokuk Is
the strong partisan Of every single
business interest in Keokuk which
will allow this friendliness. There is
another place where the clannishness
of Keokuk appears emphatcally-the
Keokuk people boost every keokuk
industry which does not fend them or
bv a mistaken policy OF aloofness or
snobbishness.
Apropos, snobbishness is one thing
that is a capital crime in keokuk.
That charitable tendency to excuse
does not apply to snob here. keokuk
Is too intimately familiar with really
big men to have any use for the imlta-
lions and substitutes.
More chatty Than Formal.
Keokuk does not take readily to or
