SOME ITEMS
OF MUCH INTEREST

Miss Lydia Gordon Howell hopes to
turn over $50 to $40 a month to the
Red Cross fund by somewhat novel
plan which has other advantages. She
proposes to teach several classes in
Spanish at low fee to attract stenog-
raphers and office clerks and other
youth, and to turn over the entire re-
ceipts to the Red Cross. Miss Howell
| is a very accomplished linguist, ia
miliar with the languages from travel
ing in Europe and has been teaching
Spanish to small class and French
to some members of the local COM
pany of soldiers.
| The local Dupont office receives
notice that the company has declared
an extra Red Cross dividend of one
per cent and that all stockholders are
advised to contribute all this divtd-
end to their local Red Cross organiza-
lions. Those at Mooar will do this
cheerfully.
The tide has turned. In the begin
ming explanation and solicitation was
required to get subscriptions. Now
members Of the organization are be-
ing sought out by many people to offer
money for the Red Cross. They are
afraid they will be missed somehow
and left out of this great work.
The Purity Oats company employees
hold meeting at the plant at $3.50
O'Clock this evening to do their bit. J.
Albert Kiedaisch will address them,
and it will be rousing melting due to
much patriotism down there.

|EOKUK IS DOING HER DUTY TO SOLDIERS
AN APPEAL TO
KEOKUK WOMEN

Mr.. G. r. Joy, chairman of the
Keokuk chapter of the Red Cross,
has designated Monday, June rs,
as Womens' day in the war fund
campaign.
The Red Cross needs money
for doctors, nurses, ambulances
and hospital supplies. Its needs
are immediate and urgent. The
Red Cross can exist only by con-
tributions of those who approve
and indorse it's work. 1t is an
absolutely necessary institution.
but it's activities would cease if
the support of the public should
be withdrawn.
Money is needed now
First, to succor our wounded
and sick soldiers.
Second, to aid the dependents of
the osldiers and sailors left at
home.
Third, to alleviate the suffer
ings in the allied countries of
Europe where the situation is
beyond all present ability to cope
with the wants.
We appeal to the patriotism and
sympathy Of the women offKeo-
kuk.
We ask you to give literally to
the Red Cross war fund When
called on next Monday.
Consider this and determine
thoughtfully what is your rightful
share. This is not charity, but
duty, and we should consider it
a privilege,
Who would refuse wounded
boy on the battle field the cool
ing draft he Graves?
Who would deny the dying sol
dier the merciful anaesthetic?
Rene mber that boy might be
your own, or your neighbours son.
No one can tell how soon the
Samaritanism you send forth with
every Red Cross gift will come
home to bless the donor.
And that is why we are going
to ask every woman in Keokuk
on Woman's day next Monday to
contribute her bit to the Red
Cross fund.
MRS. w. N. SAGE,
Chairman Women's Auxiliary Red
cross War Fund.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1917-06-21
TO THE LADIES,
GOD BLESS EN-

The women Of Keol1uk certainly are
rising to the occasion and doing them.
selves proud in this Red Cross war
fund campaign.
Conspicuous in the list of the larg-
er subscribers are the names Of two
Keolluk women, Mrs. David ]. Ayres
and Mrs. Emma G. Summers, each Of
whom gave as much in proportion as
any man and more in proportion than
some business men who are rather
prominent.
Seeing these two feminine names
in the 5000 list may cause some OF
the men in the 500 list to at least
double their subscriptions.
This morning Mrs. H. G.. Mellen.
the venerable widow Of former
prominent citizen, did her fail share
with a subscription Of $780,
Equally, according to their means.
nearly hundred Keokuk women will
canvass the entire residence district
Monday to give every woman in town
a chance to do her bit for this Red
Cross work.
Monday is Woman's Day. Watch
the women work!

SLACKERS ARE
IN BAD DOOR

/ The slackers are going to get the
biggest jolt of their lives, 1t is per-
fectly evident.
!. A Stacker, by popular definition here
Is man who gives only a fraction Of
what he ought to give according to his
N cans; for instance who gives 800
when he ought to give $500, or who
gives $25 when he ought to give $500.
Early yesterday and all Of today
there is considerable talk about the
slackers, and this talk is not loud but
very deep. It does not make much
noise, but is the more important on
that account The Stacker is not going
to amount to much in Keokuk after
this-and this Red Cross campaign is
taken to be very good test of pat
riotism. Some business men will be
hit in the amount of their store sales;
some others will be remembered when
they seek the influence Of the COM
munity for anything.
In the heat of the feeling against
the slackers, a number Of stories of re-
fusals to contribute were told, some
Of which were true and some of which
may not be worth par. One was of a
man who refused money for the
wounded soldiers but promised to
pray for them. Another was Of a wo-
man whose talk as reported caused
much feeling and approached the
boundary Of treason. Another was of
a well to do man who offered the So
|licitors one dollar but finally raised it
to $25.
Some prominent citizens went the
names Of all slackers published. 9th
ers say they can be easily identified
by the failure Of their names to ap-
pear in the proper paragraph of the
list Of subscribers. All agree that the
4 Stacker will get what is coming to him.

POWDER WORKS
WOMEN TO HELP

A committee of women will visit
the powder works settlement at
Mooar Friday afternoon to get the
subscriptions of the women residing
there.
The people out there do not want
to be missed in this Red Cross cam
'paign, and both the plant employees
and the women in the homes will do
their bit.
The home makers there are asked
to have their contributions ready
when the committee calls Friday aft
ernoon. They need not be paid in
cash, but in installments If desired.

DO GOOD WORK
IN THE STORES
AND FACTORIES


II ia impossible to mention all the
fine things the canvass Of the stores
and offices disclosed today. There
are plenty of incidents like these
mentioned here.
The employees Of the Ford agency
and garage contributed $35 in thirty
minutes early this morning.
At Sullivan & Auwerda's and other
stores a score of hundred was
made, every employe contributing IN
fifteen minutes. The entire list OF
stores and factories making a hun
bred per cent score is a long one.
A committee OF employees of the
Mississippi River Power company
canvassed not only the offices and
power house, but the entire trans
mission lines force from Burlington
to st. Louis and got big subscrip-
ton, in short time.
