A KEOKUK GIRL
WINS A PRIZE
Mrs. Mary Meios Atwater Designs and
Weaves a Textile That Cap
lures the Ribbon at
New York Show.

In a recent exhibit of textiles in
New York in which designs were
submitted from all sections of the
United States, the prize for the best
design was won by Mrs. Mary Meigs
Atwater, of Basin, Montana, who is
the daughter of Montgomery Meigs.
Mrs. Atwater not only designed the
textile. but wove the piece which was
exhibited and won first place.
She has specialized on old fashion
ed coverlids and has made study
of the old designs which have been
made to reappear in the recently
made coverlids.
The present day tendency to return
to the work of our grandmothers, has
revived the art Of hand weaving, and
exquisite textiles are made nowadays
on small hand looms.

for a final report from all of these
chairmen, but some have failed to
respond.
However, the change that might
occur in this manner would be very
small, and the figures published to-
day may be safely taken as Lee
county's part in the fourth Liberty
loan.
Washington First Over.
Washington township was the frs.
precinct from the rural district to
go over. The first report made by
this township was on October and
was for more than its quota.
AS can be seen in the schedule
some of the townships failed to at
tain their quotas, but there seems to
be good reasons for not doing so In
each case.
Franklin township made an excel
lent showing by oversubscribing Its
quota by $4,000. :.
Ready For the Next One.
The beauty of it all is that Lee
county will be ready for the next
one by the time the government
calls 1t.
It is already being reported that
the next Liberty loan will be floateo
in March of next year.
Already the people in Lee county
are preparing for that campaign, and
when the time comes Lee county
will continue her wonderful wa
record.

VICTORY FLOUR
GROWING IN USE
1t is Already Mixed at the Mills and
Does Not Require Bothering
With Substl-
tuteS.

1.-THE DEMAND for Victory mixed
flour is growing rapidly, because its
use would save the housewife from
her otherwise unacceptable moral obi
cation to do her own mixing of wheat
flour with cereals in informity with
the 1920 rule" said ]. r. Elder, Lee
county food administrator today.
Victory mixed flour is flour mixed
at the mill, wheat and substitutes In
proper proportion. 1t is done at the
mill, probably better than it can be
done by hand, and it's use saves the
hous eholder bothering the grocer
about buying substitute flours at the
same time as wheat flour.

MANY PEOPLE
HERE MONDAY
Country People Flock to keokuk to
Shop, Probably Because
keokuk Has No
Epidemic.

Yesterday afternoon seemed like an
oldtime Saturday afternoon in the
retail district of Keokuk.
Country people focked to town to
shop. and the stores had plenty of
rural customers. Automobiles were
thick along the curbs. and the people
seemed busy buying things. 1t looked
like the oldtime Saturday afternoon
when the country people all came to
town to trade on that day.
Probably the freedom of Keokuk
from the influenza epidemic, while
neighboring towns are scourged with
it, has much to do with the popu-
larity Of Keokuk with the out Of
town shoppers these days.

In cottage on the bluff overlook

died woman who had grieyed day
and night for five long years, oyer her
two boys who had met their death in
the river below.
The coldly technical death certifi-
cate said she died of valvular lesion
of the heart; the neighbors gave 1t
more common name-a broken heart.
Five years ago she was a strong
woman, with constitution inherited
from generations of Kentucky noun
I taineer stock. But one June day the
news was brought to her that her two
boys, her only sons, had been browne
ed, and she failed in strength from

in Sangamon county, ILL.,, March IA,
1845, her parents having come there

| Always Helpful to Others.
| She was a member of the Baptist
church, having joined 1t in her girl
hood days.
She had the open handed generos-
ity characteristic of the mountaineer,

She was married November To-.

1t was.
She never missed an entrainment
of recruits at Keokuk She began her
patriotic vigil on the bluff top when
the old Company l. went away.
Some of the boys in that company
were her special friends. Her limbs
were too swollen with dropsy for her
to walk down to the station, but she
managed to get from her home to
the edge of the bluff where she could
see the men entrain.
For Other Mothers Boys.
1t was only seventy feet from her
door to the edge Of the limestone
cliff but even that distance was a
long one for this little woman. She
carried a flag she kept in the house.
She told her friends that her boys
would be down there by the tracks

drowned.
