Retailers league, according to tho
sentiment expressed last night. A
Keokuk day has been proclaimed at
Donnellson and West Point, and Keo-
kuk people will make a Kookuk day
at Carthage The league members
voted favorably on Mr.. Ingle's mo-
ton to attend in a body.
He said the fact that there were
Keokuk days at these fairs showed
that the fair people realized the i'm
portance of the city. Attention was
called to the fact that Burlington
and Quincy would each have a day
at Carthage and were to bring band
along. e. A. French suggested Keo
kuk's going with two bands.

ments necessary to fill the empty

Iue question OF the water WORKS
franchise came up. It was said that
the time was past for serving notice
on the company that the city would
take over the company, but that pro-
visions could be inserted in the new
franchise which would provide for
this, for appraisement Of the plant
at different times, and for various
other changes, such as change in serv-
ice. where the company would run
it's service clear to the curb. 1t was
decided to refer this matter to COM
mtttee to look into the legal phases
OF the question. The vote on the
franchise is to come up in October.

The Keokuk Retailers league will bear
witness to the fact that the reputd
ZION made last year was again main
aimed this year by the Community
club Of Wayland. A committee OF
fhree from the Retailers, Henry S
walker George Baur and Jacob
schouten was named to convey the
thanks of the league for the splendid
supper. The women were invited to
come up stairs to the league meeting
and respond to the word Of thanks. but
declined. saying that there were no
speechmakers among them, that they
we're all cooks. The league members
echoed this sentiment.
President Justice, of the league,
spoke of the fact that Wayland and
Keokuk were good neighbors and that
| their interests in the community were
much the same, and hoped that there
would be continuation of the friend
| " feeling, and that both communities
could work to mutual advantage. He
asked Mr.. Fore to make a talk but he
declined and asked Mr.. Larson to well
come the leaguers. Mr.. Larson said
he was glad to have representative

talk, suggested naming committee

keokut< Retailers League Offers to Do
All In Its Power to Make
keokuk's Assembly
Success.
SUCCESS Is PREDICTED
Merchants VII! Not Add Special Shop
ping Week but VIII
Make Stores Attrac-
tive,

Support of the Keokuk Retailers
league was pledged to Keokuk's first
chautauqua to be held August 81 to
, September /. The assembly was dis
cussed by the league at it's meeting
last night. and 1t was decided that the
league would work to the success of
the chautauqua and that the merch-
ants would make their stores attrac-
1--WE, but that no concerted efforts at
bargain day or shopping week would
be tried during the session.
The chautauqua was announced by
the president who said he hoped the
merchants would get behind the move
ment and give every cooperation pos
sible. He wanted to see the merch-
ants help make this a big success
Committees to sell memberships were
to be named and the 7. w. C. A. was
going to cooperate with the league
and the chautauqua boosters. He hop
ed the league members would do their
share in whatever they were asked to
do.
Mr.. Larson of Wayland, was ap-
plauded when he said he was surely
going to Keokuk to the chautauqua.
All In Favor
Mr.. Overton moved that all of the
members who favored the chautauqua
movement hold up their hands. Every
member present favored the move
ment. J. J. Chapman said chautau-
qua was the biggest get together move
ment that could be conceived Of. He
denied that 1t was small town" stun
as had been charged. He told Of the
success achieved by one Indiana town
with their assembly. Mr.. Overton told
OF the success achieved In as big q
place as Des Moines.
The talk then turned on whether or
not to have a special bargain week
or shopping days during the assembly.
Mr.. Chapman suggested doing 1t If it
was possible. The chautauqua was
coming at q time when business in
other lines was slow and he thought
1t would be splendid opportunity. c.
D. Streeter thought it was best to put
all time and inspiration in the chau-
tauqua and to forget business. Other
members suggested showing visitors
all oourtesies possible. but to save the
shopping week until later in the sea
son, and this sentiment prevailed
when the motion was put.

GET INTO THE HEARTS OF THEM

| DR.. Jayne, in the pulpit of his
church last Sunday, hit upon the vi
tai idea Of this Y. M. C. A. campaign
lit is to furnish the mems hearts
with foods as we'll as their bodies.
He quoted from THE Student in
Arms" man who laid down his
life after he had written his books
about the war to the effect that
1.-THE only men who are decent are
those who are absorbed in some great
IDEAL" He meant decent in war A
man in the army who does not have
some ideal to sustain him is apt to
drift into a careless life and a care
less life is always beset with dangers.
The same student placed the love
of a good woman and the love OF
God as two of the strongest ideals.
| And of the two we would have no
hesitation in placing the good woman
before God for God is something
that is not easily visualized in the
average mind, at least not every day
in the week. But the man who has
| the thoughts of good mother, de-
voted wife or trustful sweetheart
in his mind, has something that is
very real-and no man can go very
far wrong even under temptations
who has, these precious ones in his
heart.
But it is the Y. NJ. G. A. that
supplies exactly the conditions that
keep these ideals of home and loved
ones, as we'll as of the good God IL
the minds of men. That is what
makes this work so valuable at the
front that it has received the en-
dorsement of all who have seen its
beneficial results. 1T makes us think
of home said one young Cedar Rap
ids man returned from the front in
recent meeting. And if the young
men in the armies, in the camps and
in the trenches will think of those
homes, then they will not go very
far wrong and they will fight with
all the manhood that is in them.
The above is taken from the Ce-
dar Rapids Republican. Rev. Jayne
is a cousin of T. A. jayne of Decor
ah, and spoke here before the FEEDER
ated Clubs last month.
