The Most Mysterious of Metals.

The foreman of one of the largest and best
automobile repair shops in Iowa was worried.
He was learned and skilled in his trade. He
knew metals. But the last shipment OF some
parts from the Ford factory contained things
made of some metal that this wise foreman
could not Identify The metal was evidently
perfect for it's purpose and an improvement
over previous shipments of the same parts But
that foreman, being a real mechanic, lay
awake nights trying to identify it.
A man from Keokuk came in to store his
automobile for the night and answered ques-
tons about the health Of Keokuk. This led up
to the wonders of the hard lead being made
in Keokuk, something utterly new and hitherto
unthought of. The proprietor remarked that
the visitor was godsend to his foreman, and
the foreman was telephoned from afar to come
to the office. He brought out his mystery in
metals It was the Keokuk hard lead. The
foreman slept we'll that night.
The hard lead plant here was built little
over year ago, of a size believed to be sufh-
cient for some years, while the entirely new
metal was being introduced. Already it has to
be doubled or trebled in SIZE It did not take
long for the testing laboratories Of Henry Ford
to determine it's superiority for use wherever
there is friction. Soon the most Of the capacity
output Of the plant was going from Keokuk to
Detroit

The Uncanny Wizardry of Science.
Nobody knowing metals would ever suspect
this metal to be lead. A pig of it looks most
like pig Of aluminum-but it is heavy as
aluminium is light. Everybody knows that lead
Keo1uk lead is hard enough to drive nails
through hard boards without denting the lead.
The deafness Of the sound tells one he has a
lead dollar; but they made very resonant bell
out Of this Keolzuk lead that chirned quite
merrily.
It is the cheap electricity at Keokuk that
brought the hard lead factory here. It is made
by some uncanny wizardry in electric furnaces.
Two professors in the University of Mime
sofa discovered the process in the laboratory.
It took much work and faith and persistence to
produce it on a commercial scale OF tens OF
tons day. That is being done here now.
Just now it is being pushed for bearings as
better thing than the babbitt metal which has
been used for century. One end OF an I'M
fabricated shaft in the best babbitt melted
down in few minutes of rapid revolution
but this hard lead bearing on the other end of
the same shaft did not break down for over
three hours. It has a multitude OF other uses,
of course, to be worked out by experiment and
experience. The more often it is melted, thel
better it becomes. It is the veritable paradox
of metals, and it is made only in Keokuk.
Most Important Industry in Iowa.
Thus three separate plants, each backed byI
practically inexhaustible capital and employ
ing the best brains in their management are
making metals in Keokuk Thanks to the
worlds greatest water-power here producing
tremendous quantities of the cheapest cleo
tricity, they are located in Keokuk Thanks to i
their organization and backing and brains,
each Of them will attract other factories to use
their products. Each is successful and growing |,
at a great rate
All this has been injected into the agricul- j
tural state of Iowa without the least fuss and
feathers; so quietly that Keokuk people have
not realized their Importance so solidly and 4
permanently that Iowa will soon take high E
place in census reports in metal production.
The uncanny hard lead; the invaluable pure
zinc the sturdy ferro-silicon-each is thing
unthinkable when this century began, with
many uses as yet undreamed of. Probably
each is the most important industry in Iowa
certainly the group of three make the most
important industrial accession the state OF
iowa obtained. Ak

Fast Horses Preparing for Racing
Events.

The race meet at Filler, July 3, A
and 5, promises to be something that
will make a new record in the way Of
celebrations in Southern Idaho. All
along the line of the branch and in
other parts of the state and in sur
rounding states as well, they tell of
how horses are drifting along the
roads and byways getting up action
for the Filler races. The affair is put
on under the auspices of the Twin
falls county fair board. There will
be all sorts of amusements for the
three days, while the GLORIOUS
Fourth" will be a splendidly patriotic
occasion, on which a great parade
will open the festivities. The Red
Cross will be the center of attractions.
The race track is the only one in the
county and one of the few in the
southern part of the state. 1t is IN
dandy shape for fast foot work on the
part Of swift steeds.
"The big sausage" will go up on
the Fourth.
Balloon ascensions never get old
and the drop of the birdman with his
parachute never fails to arouse in
terest. This year popular attention
is specially focused on the big gas
bags, on account of the part that
all sorts of airmen play in the pres
ent war. At Filler when the time for
the drop cLmes, all you will have
to do is to recall what Irwin Clay's
cousin said in The Times Tuesday,
and imagine that the flyer has been
shot loose by boches who are trying
to pot him and you will have a real
istic conception of one phase OF the
war. -,
Governor Moses Alexander will de-
liver the address of the day. Filler
will have her best bib and tucker on
with a welcome smile and you VIII
have lots of fun and fever if you at
tend the doings. This is the way
thpt a member of the board put 1t uI
to The Times, so it is not expressing
an opinion but stating fact.

HURLEY COMES SUNDAY
FOR FAST BASEBALL GAME
Will Leave Band at Home This Time
In Hopes of Changing Their Luck.
Good Game Promised.

Fearing that perhaps the presence
of their much touted brass band was
responsible for their recent close de-
feat at the hands of the Twin Falls
club, the Burley boys are coming
Sunday. "unheralded and unsung,
but girded with determination to go
back with victory by safe margin,
and every one concerned is promis-
ing a real game of baseball.
The game last Sunday with Rupert
was one of the hardest fought games
dealt out by opposing teams for sew
eral seasons. 1t had to go thirteen
innings before Fortune smiled on
either side, and of course she had to
smile on the wrong side of her face.
Twin Falls has been hard at work
brushing off the rough spots and the
coming game should see them in the
best condition so far this season.
Captain Christian is trying to get
Lind here to pitch for Sundays game.
Lind put up a wonderful exhibition
in the 13-inning Rupert game and
his presence Sunday should greatly
strengthen Twin Falls chances.

After pointing out that the Stacker
is an enemy to the cause of the United

to expose him, the governor in his
proclamation says:
Now, therefore, I Moses Alexander,
governor of the state of Idaho, here
by offer a reward of twenty-five dol
lars ($2500) for information given by
any one not an officer charged with
the performance of duty, that will
lead to conviction in a court of COM

by deficiency warrants drawn upon
the treasurer of the state of Idaho.
Any information furnished will be
treated as confidential and the people
of this state are asked to cooperate
in the enforcement of this law so that
one man may not be compelled to
