est Of Any That Has Been
Held Under Clubs
Auspices.

s A. Miller will be chairman Of
the spring Dollar day which the keo-
kuk Commercial club Will put on
March % it was announced last night
at the meeting of the club. Dollar
dav has always been one of the Dig
sest and best drawing cards of the
club for the reason that all of the
merchants in the organization get
into the sale, and all of them oher
exceptional values.
The one which is to come March
%, will be the biggest they nave
ever held, the merchants agree.
Their talk on this proposition last
night shows that they are behind Mr..
Miller in the project and local people
and out of town buyers are going to
find some exceptional bargains wait
ing their dollars week from this
coming Saturday.
]. ]. Chapman, president of the
Keobalk Ad club, reported that the
club was taking care OF the adver-
Using in both the out of town papers
and the local publications.
]. P. Inge suggested that COM
mittee wait on the city council and
have the market ground cleaned up
for the day in order that 1t will be
available for the care Of teams which
NAV be driven into the city, and also
will give a better appearance TO the
street.

was brought up. The club voted tc
tender a vote of thanks and a box
Of cigars to Chief Anderson and the
men of the fire department who
flushed the streets recently and did

Meetings.
MAY BEGIN NEXT MONTH
Small Attendance Last Night Results
in Naming Committee to
Plan for Each
Meeting.

The Commercial club is getting
ready for it's out of town trips, and
the committee which Will be IN
charge of the April meeting, was in
structed to arrange for meeting out
of the city next month if possible
One of the members suggested going
to Donnellson first. The suggestion
was made that in these trips this
coming season, the club arrange so
far as possible to have supper served
by Red Cross auXiliaries. The money
could then be devoted to Red Cross
purposes. There are auXiliaries to
the Keokuk Red Cross chapter in
practically every town in this vicinity
and the suggestion which was made
by John Rovane will be acted on by
the committees in charge OF the
meetings.
There were only thirty-four at the
meeting at the Iowa hotel last night,
and President Justice asked for
! opinions as TO why the interest was
! tagging. ]. J. Chapman suggested a
committee of three to plan the meet
| ings and to have program. DR..
| Christensen said the president
! should be a member of the committee
| to act as advisor. He thought some
times that too much program was
worse than none at all, and Mr.. Chap
man agreed to the amendment. The
/ club voted favorably on the program
! committee plan.
| One reason for the small attend
ance, advanced by J. P. ingle. and
which met with universal acknow-
| Judgement was that the club mem
| bers have been busy for the last two
weeks attending meetings and BAN
quets and suppers and luncheons of
one kind or another.
