carpenter is not laborer, but a skilled

America regardless OF any slight
changes that may result In the bends
Of the battle front.
This spirit OF restlessness is the
greatest fault OF the German militar-
lists. and by it's operations alone means
their ultimate unuoing.
The Germans are wholly incapable
OF letting well enough alone. That is
the reason why they embarked on
their submarine warfare which forced
America into the war; that Is why
they started their present west front
offensive. which Is proving to be with
cut adequate compensation for the
terrible slaughter OF German man
power; that Is why every major
mistake Of the German military fac
ton has been committed
A kind Of neurasthenic iresponsi-
bility prevails at German headqVar-
tiers. The higher command is think
ing always in terms OF the initiative.
This Is a disastrous trait. 1t means
Hindenburg and the Hohenzoilerns
cannot restrain their mania for kill
Ing ever more Germans as their sole
means Of trying to win the war. Each
German assault. therefore, that re-
suits in German deaths must be re-
earded as a German contribution to
democracy's eventual triumph.

There is an abundance Of potatoes,
the price of which is within reacn OF

Their increaced consumption Will
serve a double purpose-saye from

save corresponding amount OF
wheat for shipment where 1T is SO
greatly needed.
Appeal to Grocers.
Every retail merchant will render
a distinct national service by giving
his wholehearted support towards IN

No one part OF the city Is immune
from the need OF propaganda like
that put out by the cleanup week
campaign.
Some alleys on the north side are
as bad as some back yards on the
south side, and some places in West
Keokuk are almost as bad as some
others in the first ward.
Everybody who lives on lot In
Keokuk is expected to clean up the
back yard and the alley this week
without having the workers call at
tention TO the need of cleaning up.
Next Saturday an inspection will be
made all over town to discover how
we'll the job has been done
