bore a red cross with a motto by its
side. and every motto was a good
one. Posters were placed In every
store window in Main street Can
vas placards were placed on many
autom obiles including those of the
business men who went to Argyle
to the big dinner there last night.
The office Of the Red Cross organ
ization in the Keokuk Electric Office
at Eighth and Main streets has be-
come a busy place. The electric COM
pany furnished free of charge the
room and a staff Of skilled clerks and
ty2ewriters under It's treasurer,
Kennedy, all under the supervision of
Auditor Bissell, of the Mississippi
River Power company. This staff Of
workers take the subscription cards
and money and turn them back final
ly arranged in the highest style OF
the art of accounting.
New Blood Is lnvigorating.
The Mississippi River Power COM
pany Is among the hardest workers
for this campaign week for the Red
Cross, joining the keokuk people in
it as though it had been here for fifty
years. Manager Kellogg has been
making speeches, acting as team cap
tain and WORKING IN dozen Olnef
ways. Every department head Of the
company is working as solicitor.
The Stone & Webster forces in Keo-
kuk have become amalgamated with
Keokuk thoroughly, this campaign
proves by their joining so thoroughly
the older men of Keokuk who are
giving their time and work this week
for this campaign.
The Purity Oats company not only
subscribed $1,000, but gave notice that
close to another thousand dollars will
be raised in an employees Red Cross
war fund now being formed in its Of
fees and factory.
The leading men in other new fac
tories coming to Keokuk in the last
few years are working In this cam
paign with vigor. The new blood in
| Keokuk is invigorating.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful
what you use. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain null
sihed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and ,rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and
easy to handle Besides, it loosens and
takes out every particle of dust dirt and
dandruH.

RESPONSE Of KEOkUK IS A Splendid one
SOME HOT STUFF
FROM CHAIRMAN
G. F. M'FARLAND

The battle Is about half finished
and | take occasion to thank the
splendid body of men who have
been doing such magnificent work
during it's first stages.
II is a thing to be proud OF when
forty busy men are summoned TO
a duty which means hard work
and sacrifice and have th'rty-eight
of them respond, as was the case
last Saturday night. Then to sum-
mon one hundred and fifty and
out of that number have one hun
dred and forty-four report ready
for duty.
And how they have worked!
Seventy-flve teams Of the biggest
and busiest men In town worked
like beavers yesterday and are
working today and we believe the
results will be marvellous. The
staff officers in all departments are
working splendidly, and many 10y
al citizens are helping them In
every way possible.
The second stage Of the battle
now commences with j. Albert
kiedaisch as colonel in command
and he has organized an army of
men and women who will carry
us through to victory.
wish to thank the big hearted
people who have made subscrip-
tions in the last day or two. We
have run across few people
whose souls were so shriveled and
whose hearts were so hard that
they would make no response, al
though we'll able to do so, but,
thank God, there were very few
like this. We found a few, who
but for the good nature Of the
committee would be in Jail today
under the sedition law, but, thank
God, there were few of these.
Ninety-nine per cent Of the peo-
pie visited have made us proud to
be citizens Of keokuk. Now let
us all help Mr.. kIedaisch and his
workers to raise more than keo-
kuk was asked for.

WHERE SOME OF
THE PATRIOTISM
IS FOUND HERE:

The solicitors are meeting with
some heart warming experiences,
that show high patriotism and warm
philanthropy among people who sell
dom get their names in the society
columns of the newspaper.
One team solicited a blacksmith in
his shop. The blacksmith readily filed
out and signed a subscription card.
The solicitors turned to depart
Standing by was the blacksmith
helper, wearing his leather apron,
one hand on the bellows handle and
the forefinger OF the other hand
wipirg the sweat from his forehead
Pleased at the size of the subscrip.
ton from the proprietor Of the shop,
the solicitors had not noticed the
helper in the background until he
called out:
Hold on, l want to do my part
too, and give what l can to that Red
Cross business"
And he signed a card he filled out
for exactly the same sum as his en-
ployer had subscribed.

FORT MADISON
IN COMPETITION

Chairman c. T. Mcfarland went to
Fort Madison last evening by invita-
ton of the managers of the other
campaign there. He met the leading
workers at the Commercial club
rooms for long conference.
The success Of the campaign i'll
Keokuk led the Fort Madison people
to seek information about how it is
being done here. Mr.. McFarlar"
told them all the details Of the WORK
as 1t is carried on here and an
swered many questions.
While Fort Madison is in direct
competition with Keokuk in this cam
paign for the Red Cross war fund.
and Keokuk is going to exceed any
figures the other county seat may
attain, if possible, the feeling is that
If Fort Madison beats Keokuk it will
be good for the soldier boys in the
trenches next winter. Hence Mr..
Mcfarland did all he could to stimu-
late the campaign in Fort Madison.
Keokuk ought to beat Fort Madison
in this subscription anyhow.
