LIVING Expenses Low.
Schools Efficient,

The public schools of Keokuk can
mot be excelled anywhere in the
state, as no other city in Iowa has
lavished more money in proportion
to its population on It's public school
system.
These reasons added to the natural
advantages of scenery, public build
ings, handsome residences and the
finest park in the state, all prove
that Keokuk or "the Gate City" as
it is sometimes called, is the best
town in the state.

WORLDS BRAVE
LEADERS SCORE
LIQUOR DRINKING
Sgt. York and Lieut.. Read
at Meth. Centenary Say
Stimulent Not Needed

WESTERVILLE, Ohio, July 20
When Sergeant Alvin C. York.. of
Pail Mall, Tenn, the worlds greatest
soldier, performed the feat in the Ar
gonne forest whereby he killed rs
Germans, captured 1870 prisoners and
put out of commission so machine
guns, he was not stimulated by liquor.
That is his declaration. He said:
81 have not taken drop Of any
sort of liquor for &c years"
Sergeant York declared himself for
Prohibition. What he has found
beneficial in his own case he wishes
to pass on to otI@r people, he SAID,
until the whole world is dry.
Lieutenant A. c. Read, who com
manded the NC-4 on the first ocean
flight ever made, said that there was
no drinking of liquor by himself OF
any member OF his crew, while pre-
pairing for the flight across the At
lantic, nor during that flights pro-
gress.
Everything was done" he said,
'to make The fight . success
Sergeant YORK and Lieutenant
Read spoke from the same platform
at the Centenary Celebration of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Col
umbus. Neither hGd a good word to
say for liquor, and it is significant
that the two men most MOTEL for IN
dividual effort accomplished THEN
work while sober.
"Were you fortified with liquor
when you made that fight in the Ar
COME" Sergeant York was asked.
81 was perfectly sober, as l have
been for years." he answered. 81

At the Centenary Sergeant York's
brother was with him. These two
men have grown up in Prohibition

According to the Rutland Herald,
many out of state tourists claim that
the highways in the Green Mountain
state are much better than some of
the surrounding sections. A new
feature of the tourist traffic through
the estate is the large number of cars
equipped with tents and full camping
outfits. This mode of travelling makes
possible an enjoyable sightseeing trip
for many who might not feel that
they could afford lodging and meals
for an entire family every day at a
first-class hotel.

WHY NOTa

On another page we give an lmagi-
native story entitled "a Drama" in
which are many sterling truths, some
startling facts and, at least, few
timely suggestions that are food for
careful consideration and discussion.
A Natatorium for St. Johnsbury!
This does not sound so improbable or
impossible after all. 1t certainly in
vites discussion.
The object of our article is to start
discussion of the matter. Then, if
we find public sentiment favorable,
we will open the columns of the Eve
ming Caledonian to any amount Of
space that the promoters of such an
enterprise may desire. We believe
St. Johnsbury needs and would en-
joy a modern swimming pool. We
also believe that the town which
gained the envy of the State for it's
record in Liberty Loan drives and
war relief organizations can build and
support such a modern instrumentality
of health and recreation.
Why would it not make fitting
memorial building to Our Heroes of
the Great War?
The Evening Caledonian invites
your open discussion of this matter.
Write US your opinion. Perhaps you
want to start a real movement by
pledging $1,000 or $40 or even 81 to
such an object. Perhaps you have
land for a site. If so write us and
we will give the information to the
public.

WHEAT SURPLUS
IS HELD BY
GRAIN BOARD
McCulloch Says Amount
Taken by Gov. Monopoly
Makes Living Higher

WASHINGTON, July 26-In order
to get at the source of some of the
high cost of living, Representative
Roscoe McCulloch, of Ohio, has writ
ten letter to Julius H. Barnes, Unit
ed States wheat director in New
York, in which he charges that the
Government is maintaining a mono
poly in the sale of wheat and has
wrung out of the public a surplus of
$23 100000. He says:
81 am opposed to the government
creating a monopoly in wheat and
selling it at profit. The people are
now overwhelmed with the high cost
of living, and for the Government TO
exact a profit on the sale of food
stutfs seems to me to be little short
of an outrage.
at appears that the grain corpora
ton has earned $23,7G3,320 and that
you are carrying this amount forward
as an earned surplus. 1t is apparent
that this amount was earned over and
above the expenses Of operating your
corporation and after you had paid all
your expenses, which must have been
very heavy.
81 am writing now to secure a full
and complete statement of just how
and from what sources this $23, 000,-
900, together with your operating eX-
penses, were earned. In recent let
ter to me you say that sin reselling
wheat we had just one price-the
guaranteed price, plus IA cents per
bushel' In addition to statements
have requested, would thank you to
furnish me the reselling price of
wheat as determined by your corpora
ton, for all the months during which
you have administered the law and
fixed the resale price.
"In view of the strained conditions
throughout the country, which, so far
as the cost of living goes, have
reached almost the breaking point. l
ask for information, if you can fur
nish it, which will justify the Gov
ernment agency taking out of the
pockets Of the consumers Of bread a
net surplus of 23,763,320. This pro-
fit must come out of the pockets of
the consumers, and the producers do
not get it. At the time the bill to
make good the guarantee on wheat
was being considered by the House l
contended that the loss, if any, which
would result from the guaranteed
price being greater than the market
price should be paid out of the treas
ury of the United States and not adj
ded to the price of wheat, thus in
creasing the cost of living to the
consumer. | do not believe that Con-
gress ever intended, in granting the
authority contained in the wheat guar
antee bill, that it should be used i'll
the way your corporation has been
handling it.

Tempers and Tight Collars.

DIR. Leonard Williams, lecturing on
"COmmOn Sense" at a nursing con-

that people with tight collars did not
drain their brains properly, and often
suffered from bad tempers. He had
noticed that since women had given
up high collars and were wearing gar
ments which gave complete freedom
to the neck they had become sweeter

Rjuht Definition of a Classic.

A classic is properly book which
maintains itself by virtue of that hap
py coalescence of matter and style,
that innate and exquisite sympathy be-
tween the thought that gives life and
the form that consents to every mood
and of grace and dignity, which can be
simple without being vulgar, elevated
without being distant, and which is
something neither ancient nor modern,
always new and incapable of growing
old.-Lowell

Charley Butler, singer, story teller.

meetings at the First Baptist church,
delivered a strong sermon last night
to a full house on the subject of

Needs a Friend
The speaker talked comprehensively
on Refuse from guilty conscience
from sin within-from the devil with
out and the wrath to come" At the
conclusion of the sermon, which was
followed closely and with intense in
terest by his hearers it was announced
that on Sunday morning at IL o'clock
he will again fill the pulpit at this
church.
The congregational singing was con-

lovers who We're present as among
the very best ever heard in Pensa-

raised certain of the national banks,
especially those controlled by republi-
cans. His friends point with pride to
the fact that during Williams incum-
bency the banks have become strong
er, the peoples faith in them has in
creased and that bank failures are al
most unheard of.
The whole plan to GUST Williams is
doubtless an outgrowth of the charges
made by a large number of the ma
tional banks that they have been I'M
justifiably harassed by Mr.. Williams.
An attempt was made by the repub-
licans in the senate last February 10
reject the denomination of Williams
after it had been sent to the senate
by the president. The republicans did
not succeed in having his nomination
rejected. which would have forced the
president to GUST him, but they dId
prevent his nomination being con-
firmed
Their plans to GUST the comptroller
were halted, temporarily at least, by
Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass, who reappointed Mr.. Williams
after congress had adjourned. The
charge was made by the republicans
that the secretary of the treasury w. %
without authority to appoint Williams
but Mr. Glass said he had been adj
vised by the legal authorities of the
treasury that he had such authority.

TODAY IS SET
APART IN u. S.
AS FLAG DAY

| Concerning the observances of Flag
| Day the following suggestions are
made by the publicity department of
| the government war loan organiza-
| tionS:
Today is Flag Day. The day gives
every American citizen an opportuu-
| ity TO renew his loyalty tothe repub-
! lie for which the Stars and Stripes
stand.
Allegiance to the flag calls for more
than passive good will. 1t demands
| an active interest in national affairs
| and devoted effort to realize the ideals
of our democracy, to combat sedition
and any kind of force which seeks to
destroy the country. and to protect
and further the best interests of the
United States at all times.
This is easy to realize when war
has aroused us and welded US togeth-
er with but a single aim-the safety
| and welfare of our country. As Rear
Admiral Chester commented a year
ago when Old Glory was marching
into the trenches in France:
1T is a matter of significance that
the same American pater- families
who. a few months ago, smiled when
his children sang The Star Spangled
Banner now sings that national an
them with a grim appreciation of a
part, at least, of what that banner
stands for
But in times of peace we are apt
to leave the country's welfare in the
hands of a few officials and to sink
into the exclusive contemplation of
personal interests. 1t is therefore a
fortunate thing that the most i'm
portant patriotic service at present
comedies with the individual gain. h
r The present movement to develop
thrift an enduring American trait
is vitality necessary to the stability
and prosperity of the United States.
Every citizen can do his part by saw
ing Systematically a part of his earn
ings before spending a cent of the
remainder, and placing it in a safe
investment such as war savings
stamps. They pay high rate OF
interest and besides directly aid the
government in carrying out its post
war work, and lay the foundation for
the buyers financial independence
and success.
1t is to the highest personal interest
of each citizen to throw himself as
intellectually into the national
thrift campaign as he would into any
other national campaign against an
outside foe.
Loyalty to the flag demands that
we do our utmost to preserve in free
dom, safety and prosperity the coun-
try which We love. Let US resolve
today to achieve our own indepen-
dence, safety and prosperity by stead
lily practicing intelligent thrift and in
SO doing live up to our allegiance TO
Old Glory.

That is where the matters now stands.
Perhaps because of the conviction
that the senate republicans can rally
enough votes this session to reject
Williams or because of the feeling
that he has been appointed by Secre-
tary Glass and that his denomination
is unnecessary the president has not
sent the comptroller's nomination TO
the senate this session.
