Raises Eleven Thousand Dollars for
Its Home Work In Short limo
Among tho Business Mon
Of the City.
LARGE SUBSCRIPTIONS
One Man Gives Thousand and Five
Others Give Three Thousand Be-
tween Them az Nucleus
for Whole Amount.

"Over the top!" was the cry and the
lsalutation which travelled among
hundred or more of Keokuks repre-
Isentative business and professional
men after the success Of the big <. M.
4 C. A. drive for the local work was an
nounced by Henry S. Walker. the
chairman, at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon.
The one-hundred squad, composed
of Keokuk's influential men, have I'm
ished the biggest campaign for the
local work which has been put on IN
this city for twenty years.
These men were not very optimistic
about starting the drive, but once II
was started, the people OF keokuk, ap-
preciating the good work which the
Y. M. C. A. is now doing, responded SO
IliDerally that there was soon no doubt
about the final result.
The drive was started for $4,000,
and c. r. Joy gave assurance that II
this amount was raised he would SUB
scribe an additional ten percent, or
1000, making a total of at least $ll,'
coo Five other business men, G. M.
Rich, c. D. Streeter. L. A. Hamill'
Henry w. Huiskalnp and E. s. Baker
subscribed $4,000 OF the fund. and
$1,000 was raised by smaller subscrip-
tons, all of which was greatly appre-
ciated.
Henry S. Walker, the chairman OF
the campaign, shouldered the entire
responsibility for raising this money
for the local work. He said today:
They Are Duly Thankful.
81 thank the people of keokuk FOR
responding so generously to this
ruch-needed fund, and we. the
friends of the Y. M. c. A, can assure
them that this money will be placed
to the best possible advantage of the
young men and boys of the city.
1T was my plan to put the \. M. Y.
A. on sound business basis, which 1t
had not been for several years. The
liz. M. c. A. has shown the people OF
our city that it is really doing a big
work, and the people have responded,
as Keoluk always does, even more
generously than was asked.
i II can only hint at the plans which
have been laid out for next year. Elk

THREATEN TO
MOVE CAPITAL
Iowa and Ohio Perfectly Willing te

WASHINGTON, June 10-They re
talking of moving the capital, and gosh
the profiteers are scared"
Senator Sherman, Illinois, PLAIN
spoken man who goes marketing with
basket on his arm, and who Is the
new chairman Of the District OF Col
umbia committee. started 1t all when
he said if Washington landlords ana
merchants didn't stop charging so
much for things, congress ought to
get ND and take the capital city out
to Iowa. or some place away from
here.
Neutrality-suspicious. took 1t seriously,
because Sherman has said some
mighty serious things about profiteer-
ing here, in senate speeches. me
president of one of the numerous
civic pride" organizations which
flourish in Washington hurried to
Presidential Secretary Tumulty TO
learn whether there really was
possibility Of congress and the govern
rent departments going west. leaving
nothing here but the Potomac and the
Washington monument.
Since Sherman made his remark,
offers have come from several states

in some cases by influential citizens)
10 have a real honest to goodness capl-
| tai city set up in those common
wealths, with an iron clad guarantee
AGAINST profiteering.
Senator Kenyon said he knows Iowa
would do the job right, and Senator
Reed asked that the claims Of st.
Louis be not overlooked. Senator
Harding spoke feelingly Of the Ohio
climate and Hiram Johnson declared
California would prove matchless
place for the capital. Senator Shep-
pard proposed Texas and Senator
Sherman himself suggested that Chi
cago wouldn't be a bad choice.
And now most any day it is likely
that some clipper congressman will
really introduce a bill to do it, thus
throwing the Washingtonians who
lived here before the war into new
apprehensions lest the source OF their
new wealth be suddenly cut off.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle. and is very
harmful Just plain mulsifed cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich. creamy
lather. and cleanses the hair and scalp

PARIS. Sept. lI.-Having passed
through a season of stockingless
girls. then girls with camoufiag ed
legs, Parisians are receiving with
out a palpitation OF tho heart the
news that the latest thing for the
autumn and winter season is the
girl with the nut-brown under PIN
nings. Dcauville and the other
fashionable bathing resorts are re-
sponsible for II.
At Deauville this summer there
weren't enough stockings Worn to
overwork. Tho sun toasted some
fair skins In a way they have not
been toasted since the war started.
The first of the elite returning TO
Paris displayed woll-browned limbs
through stockings as sheer as the
atmosphere of a sunny day.
Some of the fair ones who could
not get to Deauville hit on a scheme
of getting that "Deauviile appear
ance" for about forty cents. They
bought a kind Of paint or walnut
strain that was formerly used TO
give the Moorish tint TO women's
cheeks and applied II to their ex-
tremities from the ankle to the
knee. Some Of the more artistic
are competing pretty successfully
with old sol by dropping in Il freckle
