keokuk is lucky again

keokuk is lucky again.
Its soda fountains will not be put
out of business, as will many in other
towns and cities, by the exigencies OF
the war.
After this any soda fountain estab-
lished since April l, cannot buy an
ounce Of sugar, and those established
since November l can buy only half
what they need, the food administra-
ton says.
Sugar is vital to the soda fountain,
not only in the ice creams, but in the
syrups that come out of the long bat
terry of faucets behind and under the
edge of the marble counter.
But Keokuk is all right. All its soda
fountains are of long standing and
thus avoid the new, regulation cutting
down sugar consumption. The same
thing applies to candy manufacturers.

COLORED MAN

Former keokuk Citizen Occupies Hiah
Place in Opinion of Peo-
pie in Decatur;
Illinois

Hue Singleton was at one time a
citizen of Keokuk and has many &C
quaintances here among the older col
iored people. At Decatur, ILL.,, he owns
and operates the largest and finest res
taurant in the city and also owns a
farm near the city where he raises
much of ire supplies used in his place
Of business. That he is well thought
of in Decatur is shown by the follow
ing editorial of recent date:
And Hue Singleton will be seventy
years old before the close of this
month. He does not look the part,
though in sense he more than acts it.
In the matter of the mans looks it
is not safe to judge by his photograph.
The camera artist. asks a victim to
look pleasant; often tire result is dis
astrous. This can't be helped, for
how are we to reform the camera
man? And of course man can't
look pleasant to order. Not even Hue
Singleton could do it. And yet in his
natural state he is a pleasant man.
1t is in the play of common sense
that Mr.. Singleton shows all the sew
enty years; he has enough of that
at least one hundred.

comfortable equipment man can car

Of genius, which usually is anything
but a comfort. But good sense is
something that is likely to be found
on the job at all times, it is depend
able. One is pretty sure it must be for
the most part a gift, for otherwise it
would not be so rare.
Something is said about Hue Singh
ton having had only few months in
a free school in an Iowa town. Yet he
is man who reads UNDERSTANDABLE
and who keeps himself informed 1t
is no heavy effort for him to do this,
it is done as matter of course, much
some breathes and eats.
One is reminded that with the right
subject to work on a few months in
school gets large results. One is al
most tempted to say that with some
few months get about as much as
would several yearse. There is more
than one illustration of this in De-
catur. We are not at all sure that a
university course would have left Hue
Singleton as good man as he ia.

WOMEN HEAR LECTURE
Tells Of the Treatment Young Girls
Are Subjected to When
They Enter the
Temple.

The menace OF the Mormon religion
was pointed out by Vernon ]. Daniel
son, Of Independence, Mo-, former
Mormon church dignitary, in lee
ture on "Mormonism and its Evils"
which he gave at the Baptist church
Wednesday at p. m. Nearly two
hundred women composed the aud
fence. Men we're not invited.
I'VE should look with horror on
the immortality which springs from
this creed" Danielson said. cit is
slowly but surely corrupting politics
in this country. The Mormon church
already controls eleven states. II it
should control thirteen our chance
to pass an anti.2olyga my amendment
to the constitution of the United
States is gone"
Rites Are Un-American.
"Mormonism was born in decep-
| ton, is clothed in mystery and has
as its basis merely the breeding Of
human kind"
The strange. mysterious, un-Ameri-
can rites conducted in the Mormon
temple were described by the speak
er. Danielson especially drove home
! the thought OF what woman has to
go through in the temple to become
member of this church. She is
ushered from one room to another,
scenes being enacted which are sym
| bolic of the story of Adams tempta-
ton by Eve.
Take Reasonable Oath.
| An oath of treason to the United
States must be taken, and an oath of
vengeance against unbelievers, Dan
ielson said.
Many of the young women are
treated in an inhuman way by the
priests during this uncanny initia-
ton through the temple. They are
intimidated by threats and come
forth trembling, terrified converts,
according to the speaker.
!. Danielson said that people who
talked Of the evil of white slavery,
should awaken to the fact that many
missing girls have been coaxed away
as converts to Mormonism
| In the evening Danielson lectured
Iagain. He spoke under the auspices
Of the National Reform association of
Pittsburgh.
