More than enough people already
have signed petitions to ask the coun-
Gil to call special election to vote for
the erection Of memorial building
for soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses OF Keokuk in the world war.
This fact was known at the meeting
of the commission this morning, when
reports were made from the various
wards. Something like thirty percent
of the voters have already signed. and
1t Is expected that when the final re
port is made Monday morning, the
sentiment will be almost unanimous
There have been practically no re
fusals to sign, and sentiment for the
proposition is almost unanimous.
Reports were made at the meeting
from the various wards. Many of the
petitions are still out, and it was de-
cided to continue the securing of sig
natures over Saturday and Sunday in
oroer to give everyone chance to get
his name on the blanks. Two special
committees have been appointed to
assist in the canvassing, and this will

Summer time vacations, band con-

the canvassers to find everyone at
home the first time they call.
They find however that the senti-

building, and there are practically no
direct refusals to sign reported. By
keeping the papers out for another
couple of days 1t looks as If every

There is the money, Mr.. Lauder

Lauderdale took the bundle of notes
and thrust it into his pocket.
Into the inner secret pocket, West,
he said. 1T is quite safe. 1 suppose
you are feeling pretty bad over this

"Oh, drop that" was the answer with

you're the kind of man it does one

"Ah, speculation on that point puE-

I will give you one piece of advice.
