COMPROMISE
WITH A BRIDE
How keokuk Minister Satisfied Both

some Miss at the
Same Time.

The ban on meetings has caused
some awkward situations in Keokuk.
A young couple came to Keokuk
to be married and brought with them
a company of friends who filed three
automobiles.
They went to the residence Of we'll
known minister. who was in consfd-
cradle OF quandry for few mo-
ments as to the best way to handle
the proposition.
He told the groom OF the restric-
lions in force against assemblies OF
every kind.
The bride couldn't be reconciled to
having her friends stay outside dur
ing the ceremony.
The minister compromised by hay
ing the BRIDES parents In the room
in which the ceremony was performed
and had the others stand in the hall
and an adjoining room where they
might see the ceremony through the
open doors.
The company divided into small
groups, satisfied the law and the
bride at the same time, and all was
well.

the county, passing Warsaw. This
is due to the growth of Hamilton,
and the citizens of that burg can
feel proud OF this fact. And we won
der what has Warsaw been doing
all this time One cause of Hamil-
toms growth Is the loyalty Of its citi-
zens to the town, the unity of it's
business men, who are always talk
ing Hamilton, and who never fail to
boom home interests. These are
combinations that never fail to make
town grow.

SLIGHT CHANGE
IN FOOD PRICES

The official price list for Keokuk
and vicinity has been changed little
by the price fixing committee of the

pay a quarter a cent less per pound
for rice flour, corn meal and ground
rolled oats, a half cent pound less
for rolled oats and potatoes, and
three-quarters of cent pound less
for lima beans. Oleomargarine is up
cent a pound. Grocers are to pay
cent a dozen more for country eggs,
but not change the price to the house

INOIAN FEAR Of
DRAFT PUTS END
TO LABOR EFFORT

Efforts of the Farmers Employ
ment Bureau to obtain Indian labo4
to assist in the harvesting Of the Val
LEY crops has been blocked in one dl-
rection, according to an interesting
letter received here today from {. IL.
Gensler, superintendent Of the iiava
supai school at Surai, Ariz.
Superintendent Gensler read the
bulletins from this county asking For
labor at the tribal council Of the In
aians of the reservation and obtained
the promise Of some ha,f-dozen burly
raves to come here and work. But
the few weeks that have elapsed have
hanged everything, with the result
that no Indians from the Havasupal
reservation, 500 miles away, will pick
octton.
According to the superintendent, the
two disquieting factors are the In
dians' fear of the draft and the. lack
Of money in the tribe to pay The 5.'ans
pcrtation of tn party.
"They are scared Of the draft" says
his letter. "This now man powe.
bill has them completely buffaloed,
and one has to hunt them down in
heir hogans to get to talk to them.
Al hough they are nor-citizcn Indians
lrl not subject to draft, they cannot
lr lerstand when they have to regis
