French Riddles are Just az Needy
Now as a Year Ago, and just as
F%atherless Soldiers Or

MEETING TO SAVE THEM
|keokuk Society's Officers and Commit
tee viii All Quit Job Next Week,

Said.

Ninety French orphans have foster
parents in Keokuk who are about to
die.
A meeting to try to prevent this
fatality of foster parents will be held
next Wednesday evening at the Y.
M. G.. A. parlors, beginning at 1880
o'clock.
This meeting will decide whether
to let the French kiddies go to, or
to keep on sending them things as
during the last year.
The adoptions, mostly. expire soon,
or have already expired. The work
was administered by a society formed
here which seems to have died be-
fore this, or at least to be totally
paralyzed.
Considerable difficulty is being
experienced in finding a chairman for
the society" said an officer of 1t to-
day. "and the present committee will
resign next week"
Hence, the public is invited to
meet at the Y. NJ. c. A. parlors next
Wednesday evening, for the French
Riddles are just as needy and father
less now as they were a year ago.

These little muscles are like the guy
ropes Of a tent or the wires some
times used to keep a telephone pole
straight.
They are what are called the erector
muscles, and when fear or cold is ex-

tighten up In such a manner as to

describe the result as "goosefesh" or

Why Hair Stands on End.

Philadelphia Ledger: Did you eve
stop to think why the goosef1esh rises
or you body and the hair on the cats
back bristles up when either animal Is
frightened? OF course, there's a rea-
son.
The hair follicle is like a little-seed
hEried in the flesh. Attached to either
side OF this seed are tiny muscles
which run diagonally through the flesh
ffom the lower part of the follicle.

CLOSE GAME
YANKTON AND MADISON BAS-
KET TOSSERS BATTLE TO
A SCORE OF 33 TO 30.

The game of basket ball that was
played last evening at the Normal
gymnasium between the Yankton
college quintet and the local Normal
team terminated in a victory for the
visitors, the score standing 33 to 80.
Madison did the best playing, in fact,
the team work superseded any prior
attempt. The last half was sort of
a seesaw, first a tie, then Madison
one, another tie and Yankton made
the field goal which ended the con-
test. Both teams sized up about
alike, but Madison showed more
skill in action. Ed Golf proved the
best ball tosser, Holdridge and I'm
zelman made a close second. There
was a good attendance and high in
terest throughout. The visiting team
departed for home this morning.

BACK IN BUSINESS
AND RESUMES BUSINESS
PURSUITS.

M. G. Laughlin has resumed his
former business interests in the
Laughlin garage and salesroom
which was in charge of his father,
C. G. Laughlin, during his absence
while at Chanute Field, Ill. When
the call came Mr.. Laughlin enlisted
from this place and later went to
Bookings where he served as in
structor in the motor department of
the S. A. T. G.. After doing some
creditable teaching there he was
transferred to Detroit. Mich, there
entering the air service. Mr.. Laugh
Inns last service was at Souther's
Field, Ca, near a place called Amer
icus from which point he was honor
ably discharged, and from which
point, likewise, he, with others, re-
turned home to civil pursuits.
Mr.. Laughlin does not regret the
time asked of him I'm the service of
his country, nor the excellent train
ing he has received. Furthermore,
he comes back to a nicely growing
business that has been well handled
by his father.
