PRO GERMAN LIES
WILL Be EXPOSED
Four Minute Men In keokuk Theatres
VIII Explain the Methods of
German Propaganda
This Week.
GOOD ORATORS PROVIDED
They viii Address Every Audience at
the keokuk Motion Picture
Houses on Every
Evening.

The many lies started and kept
alive skillfully by the pro-GermanS
acting under the orders of the Ger
man government propaganda will be
exposed to every evening motion pic
ture audience in Keokuk on four days
of this week.
This work Is national in extent
under the four-minute men division
of the federal committee on public
Information. 1t was somewhat late in
starting in Keokuk, but Is now going
on smoothly in charge of VIII G.
Blood.
The speakers for this week include
some of the most popular orators in
Keokuk, and Sheriff Scott who has
much first hand information about
this German propaganda in Lee
county.
Where Did You Get Your Facts?
The four-minute men do work
second only to the secret service in
counteracting the insidious and skill
full lies put out by the German pro-
paganda service all over this country.
Where did you get your facts?"
That Is the question which disttn-
cuisines real news from the German
brand of falsehood.
Where did you get your facts?"
That is the question every patriot
is urged to ask of every person tell
ing some big story Of success or
failure in the war-as that the kaiser
has been captured, or most of Chi
cago blown up by bomb, which are
typical of the German stories.
Audiences Highly Pleased.
Where did you get your facts?'
That is the slogan of the four.
minute men who will speak in the
Keokuk theaters this week.
The audiences highly appreciated
and warmly praised the four-minute
men who addressed them last week
and this weeks series of addresses
on a different theme, promises to be
equally enjoyable. The schedule is
as follows:
Hippodrome-Tuesd John G
Scott: Wednesday, e. S. Phillips
Thursday, J. G. Thomas; Saturday, a
Hollingsworth.
Grand-Monday, E. S. Phillips;
Wednesday, John c. Scott; Thursday

1t is something of a shock to realize

it is a happy circumstance that the

HOW ESKIMO SOLDIER DIED
Bravely Fighting in France for Lib
erty; His People Should Be
Proud of Him.

Here is the story of how Great Brit
aims only Eskimo soldier fell in
France. John Shiwak was the hero's
name aad when the great war started
he heard the call in far-Off Labrador
and before many months had gone by
he was in an English training camp.
Some weeks later he was on his way
to France. full Of ardor. His death
occurred in the Cambria tank drive.
The tanks were held up by the canal
before Masnieres and Johns company
was ordered to rush a narrow bridge
that had ~unaccountably been left stand
ing. John, chief sniper for the bat
TALON, lately promoted to lance cor
poral, the muscular mar of the wilds,
outpaced his comrades. The battalion
still argue which was the first to reach
the bridge, John or another. But John
reached the height of the little arch
and turned to wave his companions
on.
1t was a deadly corner of the battle
front. The Germans, granted a breath
ing space by the obstacle of the canal,
we're rallying. Big shells were drop
ping everywhere, scores of machine
guns were barking across the narrow
line of protecting water. And just
beyond the bridgehead, in among the
trees, the enemy had erected plat
forms in tiers, bearing machine guns.
AS John stood, his helmet awry, his
mouth open in shouts of encourage
ment unheard amid the din, the deadly
group of guns broke loose. That wac
why the<bridge had been left.
The Eskimo swayed, bent a little,
then slowly sank. But even as he lay
they saw his hand point ahead. And
then he lay still. And they passed
him on the bridge, lying straight and
peaceful, gone to a better hunting
ground than he had ever anticipated.

Thrift Stamps for 1919

The Secretary Of the Treasury has de-
tel mined upon the Issuance of a new
series Of War Savings Certificates and
stamps to be placed on sale early in
1919 and to be known as the series OF
1919. The new series will have a ma
turity date of January 1st, 1924, and in
practically all respects will be issued
on the same terms and in the same
as the present series Of 1918.
A new S. War Savings Stamp, blue
in color, bearing the head of Benjamin
Franklin, the apostle of saving, and a
former Postmaster General, is in pre-
paration. The new stamps will be
placed on sale early in 1919. The thrift
stamps and thrift cards now in use
will be continued in 1919 and will b
exchangeable into new series of 1919
War Savings Stamps payable January
1st, 1924, in the same way as the ex-
change has been made during this year
into the series of 1918 Wal Savings
Stamps.

them. They extend up at the back
over the neck and may be worn open
the largest ones forming graceful
small capes becoming to slim girls.
Imported English tweeds have the
advantage of the best of cloths and
the smartest of styles, for coats made
of this u~nexcelled material are de-
signed and made in this country. The
raglan sleeve seems to belong to them
and buttons carry out the mixture Of
gray and dark tones in the fabric.
Many of the new models have large
patch pockets cut in various shapes
and most of them have narrow belt of
the same material as the coat. But
tonholes are usually bound. In length
the coats almost i've the dress, reach

bottom of the skirt. Altogether the
new coats for misses are a joy; full
of style and comfort and a great credit
to American designers, who excel In
