ASK HELP TO
BUY UNIFORMS
Committee From keokuk Community
Band Soliciting Aid From
Business Men.

A committee from the Keokuk Com
munity band is soliciting Keokuk mer
chants and business men for contr1-
buttons to a fund to purchase uni
forms for the organization. Quite
number nave responded to the ap-
peal already. The Community band
has been heard here . number or
times IN the past and has proven % Dc
q worthy organization.
Last year the members OF the Dano
purchased uniforms, but because OF
the fact that suficient money was not
at hand at the time, they were unable
to secure durable suits White cotton
uniforms were purchased to NIL the
needs Of the time.
The band now feels that 1t should
have proper band uniforms and Is
asking assistance of Keokuk merch-
ants in purchasing them. The Com
munity band is primarily a marching
band. as distinguished from kindly
concert band, which does not appear
on the street.
Every city needs marching band
for it's public and private entertain
ments and the Community band has
developed into an organization that Is
high class In every respect and when
deserves any support keokuk can give
1t.
The members have worked hard to
perfect their organization and desire
to create the best impression possible
in their public appearances. 1t is 1or
this reason that the band Is making
an effort to buy uniforms.

In the first hour OF today's stock

stated that Mr.. Wilson's theme would
be the question of peace, the de-

the actual address came to hand,

The upward movement, however,
was not vigorous, as the subject Of
