Apparently both Luberts and Rausch wrote warning against sending any patriots to the defending forces and seemingly the Bolshevik effort at obedience as indicated ill document No. 8 was not fast enough to suit the German martinets. Podvoisky was minister of war.
 , Gen. Parski was appointed to the command of the Petrgorad district. and as late as June 14 still held the post. He formerly was in command of the city of Riga, which was sur rendered to the Germans without ad- equate defense in the early autumn of 1917.

No man or woman who eats meat

poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head

constipation, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.

PUPILS MAKE
GOOD SOLDIERS
Collect in keokuk Many Bushels Of
Nut Shells for Gas Mask
Filters to Go to the
Government.

Superintendent William Aldrich
has on hands ten or twelve bushels
of nut shells, collected by the school
children to make gas mask filling.
He Is waiting for shipping direc-
lions from the Keokuk Red Cross
which he has failed to receive thus
far. AS soon as they are received,
the shells will be consigned to the
government for use in munition
plants.
The schools have collected by far
the most shells and fruit pits for
which the government sent out an
urgent call. 1t placed the Red Cross
in charge of the collecting and the
latter instituted the plan of making
every grocer collector and every
delivery boy scout to get the pits
and shells from the householders.
Neither the grocers nor the de-
livery boys in Keokuk seemed to be
very good soldiers when drafted for
this part of fighting the Hun, and
they have collected only a small
quantity of the shells and pits.
But the school children under the
supervision of their teachers and
organized by Superintendent Aldrich
went over the top in fine fettle and
saved many an American soldier
from being gassed on the fighting
line in Europe.

Time

Two Clark county young men,
eighteen years old and twin broth
ers, died eight hours apart from
influenza. They are Oval and Orvil
Laswell.
Inseparable all their lives, when
they were taken sick in Quincy,
where they were working, Orvil went
home to Kahoka because the Quincy
hospital was too full to receive him,
but Oval was admitted. One died in
Quincy about 1 o'clock in the after
noon and the other at Kahoka at 9
o'clock the same evening.
They were born near Liberty and
were buried there in the same grave.

THROUGH RIVER
PACKETS NEAR
White Collar Line Mil rnausurate
Service with a Line Of Boats
Between st. Paul and
st. Louis.
BEGIN EARLY IN SPRING
May Acquire Additional Boats In It's
Fleet, and Boats Will Run
Through from Daven-
port, Past keokuk.

A new through line Of steamboats,
giving river traffic from st. Paul to
ST. Louis past Keokuk will begin run
ming as soon as the ice goes out OF
the river in the spring.
Captain Walter A. Blair, general
manager of the White Collar line,
makes this announcement and gives
some details of the new service on
the upper river.
There will be one through trip from
Davenport to st. Louis. and another
as now from Davenport to st. Paul.
These two divisions will connect at
Davenport, making a through traffic
line between the twin cities and st.
Louis.
The Keokuk, the Morning Star, and
the Helen Blair will be used in this
trade, and probably some more boats
will be acquired by the White Col
lar line before spring.
viii Be Popular Change.
The company has been operating
boats between Burlington and
Quincy, with Keokuk as division
point, the boats lying here over
night and the service alternating
north and south on alternate days.
1t also had a line between Davenport
and st. Paul.
This summer there has been no
line south of Quincy on the river and
none between Davenport and Burling-
ton. The trade has been strictly
local in character between the cities
named.
Keokuk always gave good sum-
mer traffic to steamboats, between
here and ST. Louis and between here
and st. Paul, when they ran in that
trade as through lines. 1t is expected
that the Inauguration of the new
through line will meet with a hearty
and practical reception here. Cap
tain Blair and his company have al
ways been very popular here on &C
count of the service they rendered.

FARM MACHINERY GREAT AID
How One Farmer by Fully Utilizing
His Implements Did the Work
of Two Men.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Farm machinery makes it possible in
some places and at some times for one
man to do the work that two did be-
fore.
ION recent trip through the corn
belt states 1 saw on one farm two big
strong men, each with a team of
horses and a single mold-board plow,
following each other around the field"
said G. 1. Christie, assistant to the
secretary of agriculture, who is super
vising the departments farm labor ac-
tivities under the direction of Assist
ant Secretary Ousley. "On an adjoin-
ing farm boy not more than seven
teen years old was driving four big
horses hitched to a two-furrow plow
and doing work equal to if not great
er than that accomplished by the two
men.
"On another farm there were two
men on one wagon spreading manure
with forks, while close by another
farmer with three horses and a ma
nure spreader was accomplishing a
larger amount of work in a more eff
cient way.
"In a similar way the double cut
away harrow, the wide cutter bar of
the mower and the binder, the sheaf
carrier on the grain harvester, the
milking machine, the farm tractor.
haying tools, and other machinery are
making it possible for farmers to ham
die their work with a materially re-
/ duced number of men,"
