There were about eighty persons
present and with the social follow

for the Nauvoo Royal Neighbors and
IL. E. Hohl did the honors for the
Woodmen.
Here are some things Nauvoo
people would have laughed at five
years ago: Women knitting when
visiting their friends and neighbors.
Some people wearing a wrist watch.
Some Nauvoo fellows giving money
to the Red Cross. Making a pro-Ger-
man keep still.
Joseph Ochsner has received the
large plate glass for the front of his
large Ford service station business
building. He has it stored until call
ed on for use when the other ma
terial arrives and spring weather
opens so as to allow him to go to
work on his large building again.

meet in regular session one week
from next Monday evening. These

are very careful and keep the flues OF
the buildings in excellent condition.
Due care should he continued through
cut the balance of the winter so that
not even a chimney fire will cause
Nauvoo's volunteer fire department to
respond to a call
Quite number of Nauvoo people
have bad colds and sore threats and
they are unable to talk in the style to
which they had been accustomed
There has not been much talk about
the Nauvoo interurban line this win
ter. Nearly every winter heretofore
there was considerable interurban
building talked Of but all the talk
never built foot of line yet When
spring time comes and the war is
over then talk of building it again will
issue forth.
Some few Nauvoo people have
small flock Of hens and still gather a
good many eggs considering the num-
Der of chicks Taking in consideration
that January is not an "egg month";
their record is good one. From
| this 1t may be seen that the paucity OF
! the egg crop is not altogether due to
! the hen, upon whom you are inclined
! to place too quick a blame These
| Nauvoo folks evidently know how to
handle chickens and know the bust
| ness the same as if they were music
| teachers or magazine contributors.
Some kind Of apparatus is being
| placed over the radiators in the Catho,
; lie church in Nauvoo. It is some sort
| of dust arrester and tends to keep
! things clean In this large religious
| temple.
| The Chicago daily newspapers now
seldom arrive in Nauvoo in the morn
ling. They arrive in mid-afternoon or
| about supper time

good, but if the temperature remains
the same as the last few days it will

are using their delivery trucks in haul
ing goods for-their business houses
from Keokuk.
The camels of Keokuk and Fl. Madi-
son are still Waking trips to Nauvoo.

war tax was placed on liquors. It
takes the rich guy now TO enjoy the

! The half pint flask that sold for TWEEN.

cents and the pints at ninety cents.

and exclaim, what will you have" has
also been obliterated and nearly every
one gulps down his own

A Little Like Mother.

/
A Little Like Mother.
She's very fine, little old lady,
with a refined face and silver hair,
and she's trying hard to be cheerful
even yet. Some neighbor women
were there, and the way they talked
and acted, they must think lot OF
her / confess / liked her from the
first minute / laid eyes on her. She
reminded me a little of my mother.
"Yes: that's the right number on
South 'Stcenth street. Well,
from what I gathered at the house
she used to keep little store after
her husband and last child died, but
lately she has had no income what
ever She said IL she was going to
be sick long she would have to go
to the county house. She said that
so sorrowful that told her she need
have. lg! &c taaS nf tba.t1-. .lI had to cheer
her up, you know, and anyhow 1T

- ed to yosI ss:E;,1D10. Yes,
l know you will do 1t all right.
No; l don't know who knows her,
but you can get that out Of her IN
your talk with her. Oh! or
course. I'll give her all the medical
attention she needs. All right.
Goodby'
That afternoon the nice. little.
good, old lady had caller who left
her automobile in the other street at
the corner. Nobody else knows ex-
actIy what talk occurred between
the two women Only few OF us
know what happened before the next
Saturday night. 1t was this:
The fine, little, nice, old lady was
installed in the Birge Home. She
need give no thought to coal in the
winter nor to grocery bills and the
price Of milk. She was waited on
as she deserved. Gradually the old
cheeriness came back into her face.
God bless her. She has worked a
lot and suffered lot and deserves
peaceful old age.
Twenty-one and Their Needs.
There are just twenty-one of her
in the Birge Home, cared for by the
Benevolent Union today.
Nobody knows much about the
Birge Home or the Benevolent I'm
ion, except that one is sort OF
Swiss chateau on South Seventh
street, and the other is some kind of
woman's organization that fills a
whole page Of the Keokuk paper with
long, dry reports once q year.
But there are some nice. old ladies
that know all about both Of them.
Some have died and been given de-
cent burial Twenty-one Of them are
there in the Birge Home now.
All this costs lot of money. 1t
costs too much for the women mem
bers of the Benevolent Union to pay
all by themselves. They are going to
ask all Keokuk to subscribe money,
not really for the Benevolent Union,
but for the work that makes it pos
sible to care for a score and more OF
nice, old ladies with no other place
to live. 1t is hoped that this little
picture of the crisis in the life of
one of them will make Keokuk people
understand that there is duty to
subscribe for the Benevolent Union
in addition to the various soldier
welfare funds.
Does anybody in Keokuk want to
drive out those twenty-one nice old
ladies because there is no longer
money obtained to care for them?
Solicitors will take your answers be-
fore long.

WESTON ]. HIBBS SHOWS BY
CAREFULLY KEPTDATA COST
OF 18-HOLE GOLF COURSE
For First Time in Links Construction Actual Figures
Are Shown in Detail From Report
of Culph Mills Course
By WILLIAM H. EVANS

THERE has been practically no effort
l. made on the part of country clubs
and golf course architects to gather data
on the original cost OF building an up
to-date eighteen-hole links. Up to with
ing the last few months. IL a group OF
golfers wanted such data they would
look in vain. Fortunately, in building
the new eighteen-hole Guph Mills
course, Weston J. Hibbs has collected a
mass of material that is now available.
Even Donald Ross. who has probably
laid out more golf courses than any
other two men in the country, has not
kept reliable figures. He and club Of
f1cals know In the sum total. but just
how the cost is apport ioned for fair
ways, greens, traps. etc, he and they
cannot tell you how the sum is made
UP.
Vain Search for Data
When uulph Mills was first conceived
Mr. Hibbs visited many courses. inter-
viewed golf architects and professionals.
talked with charmen of green's commit
tees and club officials and was very
much surprised that there was no such
data available. At that time he made up
his mind when the building of the course
was begun he would keep the figures
and that they would he Of some service
course instruction.
1t is not the easiest thing in the world
to build golf course while big
war is being waged and when after work
was started the United States became
one of the participants the situation
became more difficult He comments In
this way on his troubles:
Troubles of a Course Builder
with the troubles | have had, but it
has only been the greatest Of effort that
we were able to get the course built
last summer. We had strikes on our
hands: the cags Of labor We had to
use was the poorest: deliveries of sup-
plies were hard to obtain. and on top
Of this, even the elements were against

August proved an extremely poor
month for seeding owing to the heat and
the severe cold September months were
not conducive to the growth of grass
seeds. But things worked QUO well in
spite Of this; and the SeVSrest winter we
have had in years.
The club was formally organized June
10, 1915. and construction started
August 10. The average rate of wages
paid was thirty cents an hour, for
double teams and driver sixty cents and
Tor single team ana driver forty cents
the hour. The acreage of the course is

cluding that up to 125 yards from the
tee 45 S1-10O, the rough in front of the
tees to the fairways being thirty acres
The average width CT the fairways is
sixty-fve yards and the average size
of the greens ninety-two feet deep by
ninety y-nine feet wide. The length of the
short course is 6429 yards with a par OF
seventy, and of the long course 6679
