Every day the great principles for

make 1t clearer what the end must be
and what we must do to achieve it.
We now know more certainly than
we ever knew before why free men
brought the great nation and govern
ment we love into existence, because
II grows clearer and clearer what su-
preme service 1t is to be Americas

anniversary Of the discovery Of Amer
ica must therefore have for us in this
Hateful year q peculiar and thrilling
Significance. We should make 1t q day
Of ardent rededication to the ideals
upon which our government is founded

Steamboat Excursion,

It is quite a task to sleep a crew OF

but the Streckfus line has solved the
problem Passengers making the ex-
cursion trips find all decks open on
all sides and wonder where the sleep
ing quarters are.
It takes just twenty minutes after
the last passenger leaves the gang
plank until portable staterooms have
been erected and furnished for all the
members of the crew. The next morn
ing after breakfast the portable state
rooms and bedding are removed and
slowed away in lockers until after the
moonlight trip is over.
The main cabin which formerly
had staterooms for 100 passengers is
now n big dreamland dancing floor
that will accommodate 1900 couples

Movie Managers to Advance
Slightly the Price OF

New Revenue Measure Will Double the
Tax-Prices in keokuk Have

Many Cities.

Keokuk people may have to pay
more admission to go to moving
picture show soon il the new revenue
bill, which is now before congress,
passes.
The local motion picture houses
have received notice that three taxes
they have hitherto paid will be
doubled if the new law goes through.
This will mean that a small advance
must be made in the charge of adj
mission to meet the tax.
The three taxes the theatres have
paid are tax on admission, based one
cent on every ten cents or any frac-
ton of ten cents; the theatre tax
which calls for 800 year on every
800 seats or more, and the excise tax,
levied fifteen cents per reel day.
This amounts to about $1.05 day.
II the new revenue measure is
adopted every one of these three
taxes will be doubled.
The price of admission will be
raised little anyway, the managers
say, for the price of film service is
higher and this will necessitate
higher price of admission.
Keokuk moving picture houses ask
q modest price. In fact one is able
to go to movie here cheaper than
in Hamilton and Fit Madison and
other nearby cities.
