found for this important matter OF
conserving food.
There will be a person experienced in
canning work on duty at all times and
the women Of Pensacola will take turns
in doing duty. Those having vegetables
to be canned can bring them to the can
ming center and for a nominal sum can
have them put up.
One of the matters under discussion
was The securing OF cans which are now
getting a little higher in price and like
~ to go still higher. It was decided
to buy them by the wholesale to begin
with end those entering into the prop
osition gave orders for the number Of
cans they would use.
In the matter of glass Jars 1t was
shown that in some instances they
were not good receptacles for certain
vegetables but could be used for
others.
1t was pointed out just how much
the government had to demand in the
way OF canned goods to meet war
emergencies and how much would be
required to feed the people. Further
IT was shown that there was a post
bility that the government might make
a call for additional canned goods ana

VICTORY SALES
DAY A SUCCESS
Similar to the Victory Of the Ameri-
can Army In Europe and Volume
Of Sales Was
Large.

Victory sales day was big success
Saturday, in harmony with the sue
cess Of the American army in Europe.
The stores did a very large volume
of business, and some merchants say
they sold more goods than on any one
day for years.
The weather was good although
not perfect by any means, but the gen
uineness OF the bargains offered by
Keokuk merchants when they use that
word has become recognized over a
large extent of surrounding country,
and the people poured into Keokuk to
do their fall shopping.
The best part OF the days business
was the permanent customers made of
people from hereabouts, who are get
ting the habit of trading in Keokuk,
because experience proves Keokuk to
be good place to shop every day in
the year.

BY getting three fingers under a
steel guard designed to prevent them
from injury. William Toohey, had
them severely crushed Saturday af-

He was operating n small skfvins
machine consisting OF knife into
which sole leather pieces is fed In
front of the knife is a guard to keep
fingers out of 1t. In some manner,
while feeding the machine with a
piece of leather, young Toohey thrust
his fingers beneath the guard and they
were carried in so far that the ends
were crushed. Today is was uncertain
whether the first joint of the fingers
would be saved or would have to be
amputated at Graham hospital.

The Ballots Of Soldiers Only Increase
Majori.ies Of the Candidates
Elected at Home EIec-
CRAIG AND sKYLES SAFE
Erroneous Publication in Some Papers
Starts FURRY Among Friends
oE Four Candidates for
OFFICES.

The Official returns as fast as re-
caived verify The unofficial vote of the
soldiers published in The Gate City
election week. and that 1t makes no
change IN the election IN Lee county
The fact that the total soldier vote
was less than the majority or the low
est candidate received at home made
this q certainty.
The soldier vote on Judges was as
follows: Craig. IS. Hamilton. %; Par
sons and DoIan, IL each This raises
Craigs majority TO over 200 IN the
total vote cast and counted. Styles
Is certainly elected treasurer by the
same token, although the vote Tor
the rest OF the county ticket was
larger than for Judges.
Erroneou Reports Make FURRY.
Although it was all settled by FRI
day OF election week, some papers
have created furry by publishing
recently that the soldier vote might
change the result and elect Parsons
and Smith.
Friends OF these four candidates
involved became intensely interested
in the new publications, and an
avalanche OF questions resulted.
The answer is, that Craig and
Skyles are certainly elected after the
whole vote, soldiers and all, is count
ed, by maiorities that brady admit
of any successful contest And there
has been no talk whatever of any
contests In Lee county.
