A truly wonderful photoplay and
community singing will divide honors
at the Grand tonight The same pro-
gram drew the highest praise from
the audiences yesterday. Mr.. Guer-
don Colvin leads the mass singing,
after giving topical number himself.
He comes direct from a long season
on the vaudeville stage and is alone a
clever entertainer. The people joined
In the singing last night and the old
walls fairly rang with good music.
Tonight an enlarged singing program
will be used and If proven successful,
community singing viii be regluar
part of the Grand's program.
"Old Wives for New" is classic IN
film drama-there hasn't been such a
good, strong drama in years. A great
cast and the direction Of Cecil B. De-
Mile complete its projections. David
Graham Phillips wrote the book--a
cynical. daring, absorbing, frank,
mercilessly fiaying the follies of some
branches of our American society.
Not a picture best suited to youthful
eyes and minds. But "Old Wives for
New" is a rare pearl in good drama.

Fuel Administration Order Prohibits
Motoring East Of the MIssis-
slppi on That
Day.
IT WILL BE OBSERVED
Country Residents, Doctors and
Freight Trucks, the Principal
Exceptions to be
Allowed.

The ban Of the fuel administration
will keep Keokuk people out OF ILL
nois next Sunday.
The order is that no automobile,
motorcycle or motorboat be run east
OF the Mississippi river on Sunday
until further notice and gasoline
stocks are built up.
This does not apply to Iowa nor
Missouri people, who are not asked
to walk or stay at home on Sunday,
but 1t does prevent them from mo-
toring to Hamilton, Nauvoo, Garth
age and other popular Illinois towns
which have been seeing many Keo-
kuk automobiles every Sunday for
years.
Motor Boats In Mississippi.
An interesting question arises
about motor boats in the Mississippi
river. The reading Of the order as
telegraphed here and printed in The
Gate City last evening makes It all
right to run motor boats In the Mis-
sissip2i, but not to run up sloughs
or creeks on the eastern side which
are not part OF the river and hence
east OF 1t.
The motor vehicles of physicians,
fire and police departments, ambu-
lance services and public utilities
companies repair outfits are except
ed from the ban, together with motor
trucks actually hauling freight
The Farmer 10 Favored.
The most important exception is
that persons in rural districts with
no other means Of transportation
may use their automobiles. which
gives the farmer distinct advan-
tage over the town dweller.
While 1t Is plainly stated that the
ban is not an official order, which
would impose the penalties OF the
law for its violation, but a request
appealing to the patriotism Of the
people. it is believed here that there
will be little attempt to contrayene
1t in Illinois.
The people to the east OF Keokuk
have given too much evidence Of
their intense patriotism to allow any
suspicion that they will drive any
automobiles next Sunday. And II any
Keokuk automobiles 60 across the
river, Keokuk hopes the marshals OF
the Illinois towns will arrest all the
drivers for something or other.
Shortage Not Serious.
Fuel officials say the shortage OF
gasoline is not serious, but that de-
mands for overseas shipments and
for domestic use are now at their
highest point and some precaution-
airy measure must be taken to assure
continuous flow for war purposes
II desired results are not OBJ
tanned through voluntary submission,
the gasoline curtailment plan will be
backed by q fiat official order. Fuel
officials said they counted on the
patriotism of the people Of the coun.
try to save the desired amount Of
gasoline.

Manufacturers and Workmen Alike
Would Like to Know Exactly
What the government
viii Do.
AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
Washington Dispatch Clears up the
Situation Somewhat and viii
Relieve Some of the
Fears.

All employers as we'll as the wage
learners are much interested in trying
Ito discover exactly what the govern
Iment is going to do about drafting and
moving labor in accordance with the
war needs of the country.
Contradictory information is preva-
lent, both locally and in the news dis
patches from various labor centers.
There is much difference of optn-
ion in Keokuk as to whether there Is
real cause for alarm on the part Of In
dustries not entirely engaged in war
work, or whether none need to worry
much; and about just how much Ia
boring men will be compelled to move
into war work industries here and
elsewhere in the United States.
The following announcement by the
federal departm ent of labor seems to
clear the situation good deal:
