ADVERTISING IS
TO Be DISCUSSED

Of This Sort.

ACID TEST FOR COPY

j. ]. Chapman, president of the
Keokuk Advertising club, today re-
ceived word from William p. Green,
Attorney and associate secretary of
the National Vigilance committee of
the Associated Advertising clubs of
the world, that definite results are
beginning to appear in the campaign
| Of the organization against stock pro-
motion enterprises of questionable
merit. Mr.. Green, who is now in
Kansas City, comes to Keokuk Mon
day night to tell the business men of
/ the city about the work Of the national
vigilance committee in the eliInina-
ton of fraudulent and misleading ad-
vertising.
"ReportS already are coming in Of
certain newspapers in centers of pro-
changes of policy" he writes. "Con-
crete facts. backed by public senti-
ment, are having their effect in caus-
Ing the advertising departments to re-
iect such copy as cannot stand the
acid test. Papers which were among
the worst offenders from our stand
point, few weeks ago, now refuse to
carry any display promotion advertis-
Ing Whatever. IL IIC U2OUGy WHICH
has been going into wild cat oil COM
panies from the pockets Of the labor
ing people alone is diverted to invest
ment in Liberty bonds. hundreds of
thousands of dollars will be added to
the government treasury"
Mr.. Green promises to discuss in
considerable detail Monday night, the
question of comparative prices in ad-
yertising. which is of SO much i'm
portance to the majority Of retailers.
Most Of the prosecutions under the
fraudulent advertising laws, similar to
the Iowa statute. grow out of the use
Of comparative prices. a subject
which has received a great deal Of at
tention by the national vigilance COM
mittee. The so-called "gyp" advertis-
ser also probably will find himself on
the gridiron. The subject OF trade
marks and their protection from an
advertising standpoint, is another
question Of interest.
The meeting should give Keokuk
business men comprehensive idea of
the great constructive movement
sweeping the country under the direc-
ton of the Associated Advertising !
clubs, in which the Keokuk Advertis-
ing club, as a member of the national !
organization, has an active part to
play.

THE FISH LURE
NEW RESIDENTS
President Of a Big Milwaukee Con
eern Talking Of Moving Here
on Account Of the Good
Fishing.

Various things attract important
people toward city. Fred j. Pagels,
president of the company buildin~ the
new big carbide works here, says he
Is going to move to Keokuk from Mil.
waukee. where is his principal bust
ness OF another kind And it is the
good fishing near Keokuk that may
bring here another important busir%ss
man.
Mr.. Pagels let it be known that he
likes to fish. His conversation with
the elect. indicated that he really
Knows how to fish Hence. James NJ.
Fulton proposed that they go fishing.
They spent an afternoon with Fulton
as guide. Fulton did not catch a
single fish.
Mr. Pagels that evening shipped TO
Milwaukee over forty pounds OF fish,
including spoonbill cat, channel cat
crappie. one black bass, some buff
Iaio, and couple of perch. He ex.
pressed the fish to his board of di-
fectors and there was enough to go
around the whole board, one spoon
oil cat weighing seventeen pounds.
The Milwaukee manufacturer is
now asking the price OF good resi-
1ence sights along the river above
Keokuk.

All the present year Is centennia
i year in illinois, Some of the Nauvot
schools participated in celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary O
Illinois statehood last Thursday b!
presenting patriotic programs, and I
number of Nauvoo residents attend
ed the exercises which were held or
the second district school grounds ant
proved interesting and the schoo
children did themselves proud II
presenting the heroic features thai
are now the most potent factors II
this country. An act was ratified by
congress on December 3, one hundred
years ago, and Illinois became the
twenty-first state in the union Of
states, but the powers have ordained
that all this year shall be celebration
year.
One of Nauvoo's saloons has book
beer today, and in former years no one
was allowed to sell this beverage be
fore that date and when it did come
great celebrations were held in hon
or of the event.
Nauvoo Royal Neighbors initiated
several persons at their meeting last
Thursday evening. Mrs. Pearl Smith,
the district deputy Of Plymouth, ILL.,,
was present. Those who were ad'
mitted into the order were: Mrs.
Chas. Reimbold, Mrs. Albert Steiner,
/ Mrs. Ben Koechli, Mrs. Garrett Run
die, Mrs Archie Ort, Mrs. Ed Boed-
ecker and Mrs. Johnson. After the
| business meeting. luncheon was
served, prepared by the male com
mittee appointed previously for that
purpose.
Mayor Montgomery OF Nauvoo. may
soon be pestered with applicants for
the appointive positions that The city
needs for the coming fiscal year.
The time of year is at hand when
hail storms visit us. A nice shower
day afternoon, but things were not
advanced far enough to do any dam
age.
After swatting the fly as soon as
warm weather comes to stay, all
good Nauvoo citizens will turn their
attention to complete their garden
making.
Messrs. Petsch and Payne have
been in Nauvoo during this weeks
end, interviewing our business men
about renewing their subscription for
the Keokuk, Nauvoo and FIT. Madison
interurban railway. These gentle
men feel confident that they are in
position to induce capitalists to con-
struct the railroad in this territory,
even in the face of the crisis that is
threatening this country. 1t is be-
lieyed that Nauvoo business men and
citizens will give them all the en-
couragement necessary to build the
line. The time is past in which to
construct a railroad on paper or with
mouth-gab and the gentlemen inter
ested in this railroad project must
show the goods, besides good inten-
lions, for Nauvoo has been hood-wink-
ed so many times heretofore that the
people here are tired with promises
only or excuses of conditions of
things that prevent the beginning of
construction work.
Nauvoo's new council members will
hold their first meeting on the first
Monday evening in May. At this

Relief from, Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, OF
extra large bottle at $1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples, black.
heads blotches, eczema, and ringworm
and makes the skin clear and healthy.
Zemo is clean, penetrating, antiseptic
liquid, neither sticky nor greasy and stains
nothing. 1t is easily applied and costs
mere triffe for each application. 1t IS
always dependable.

Patriotic
and Pulpit
Oratory

Patriotic I never was enthusiastic
and Pulpit about the pulpit oratory
Oratory or the Kew. Dr. Ezra But
Ter Newcomb. Preaching
is the smaller part of pastorate, and
Dr Newcomb excels in the other func-
tions of a pastor. Probably he never
would fill a large church every Sunday
bv his pulpit preaching. At least, l
am not prejudiced in its favor.
It is necessary to put in that dis
claimer in order to make plain the
sincerity of the enthusiasm and praise
evoked by the patriotic speeches OF
that same pulpiteer.
The largest auditorium ever built In
Keoku, would be required to hold the
audiences of that same Rev. DR.. Ezra
Butler Newcomb. if he would deliver
a series of patriotic addresses here.
There have been several good ones by
him during the last year. They get
better all the time. The one TO the

and accounts Of the National Nonpar-

In the proceedings, Mr.. Townley,
who is asking the court to exempt
him from the payment of nearly $780,

listed assets Of about $500, contends
that the trustee wants to make an
examination of the accounts in cues

Of the books of the league or it's
