agreed, no sadder sight had ever been
enacted in the history of this fair
young city.
The ceremony was, however. mot |
universally deplored. There were |
those who regarded the event as an
augury Of the fact that prohibition
was at last reality, and who regard |
ed the destruction of the liquor as a
benefit rather than as a calamity. The
whisky would do less harm in the gut
ter than in the internal regions of
poor, deluded mOrtals, these men ar
gued. Others, while approving the
confiscatiOn of liquor, believed that
it could have been put to good use by
donating it to the hospitals for the
use of the sick in certain cases, and
among those who took this humani-
tartan view were DR.. Council and DR..
Chace. And then there was the more or
less secretive bootlegger, who despair
ingly calculated on the many thou
sands of perfectly good coin that
could have been accumulated by the
judicious distribution of the wet
goods. 1t may be reported with truth
that all of the witnesses, those ap-
proving and disappearing, official and
unofficial, viewed the ceremony with
very solemn faces BETTING the occa-
sion.
The destruction of this liquor was
the result of a court order issued bv
Judge Bunnell yesterday, on receipt
of decree from the circuit court of
appeals in the case of the United
States VS.. the Northern Commercial
Company.
When the prohibition law went into
effect in Alaska, on January /, 1918,
all intoxicating liquor then in the ter
ritOry was subject to confiscatiOn. The
dealers had been given an extensive
period in which to dispose of their
stocks, and most of them had com
piled with the law. The Northern
Commercial Company had a larger
stock in the Interior than it could dis
pose of within the time limit, and
the seven barrels destroyed yesterday
we're shipped out over the trail for
transportation to San Francisco. Ow-
ing to delays on the trail, however,
the shipment failed to reach COrdOya
in time to be placed on shipbOard be
fore the first of the year, and in con-
sequence it was seized by the United
States marshal The lower court de-
creed it's destruction under the law,
and the appellate court at San Fran
cisco confirmed the decree.
1t has been figured out that at
the current prices for liquor in Cor
kova the seven barrels would have
brought about $4,000 at retail here.
The scene was perpetuated for the
benefit of theatergOers in a series OF

Eye that have tears to shed, pre-
pare to shed them now" or words to
that effect, was the exclamation OF
Deputy Marshal Bill Fursman this
morning, when, in the presence of
Rev. E. P. Ziegler and Henry Slater,
official witnesses, he officiated at the
ceremony of dumping seven barrels,
more or less, of perfectly good whisky
into the gutter in front of the United
States marshaps office on Second
street.
The sight was, indeed enough to
make any old rounder weep. There
were assembled barrels, kegs and bot
ties bearing names of worldwide re-
noWn, some of whom had been re-
ions to many of the spectators since
boyhood. Colonel Pebbleford, that
mild-mannered friend of the moderate
drinker, was there, and Colonel Bel
mont, and John DeWar, seeming to
emit troubled Scotch ejaculation
with decided burr at his unceremoni-
Gus handling And there was the old

DEEMS REFUSES

Food Administration to Fix

in WASHINGTON.

OSTERVILLE, Mass, Aug. 20-Stat-
ing that all names and every scrap OF
paper of the former Iowa food admin
istration are stored in Washington,
doubling whether office furniture
would be donated as during the war,
telling how his help Is scattered, and
regretting that it will take a good
while to do anything effective, J. F..
Deems, former food administrator,
now at his summer home, 1owanna
Lodge, here, declined the invitation of
Attorney General Palmer to reorganize
his forces in Iowa into price fixing
body in each county.
"I'm entirely willing to 60 at this
thing, but can see nothing to be gained
by going to war without ammunition
or guns" he said today, land 1 won't
try to pull the wool over the eyes OF
the people Of Iowa by making mere
pretense or bluff. My long experience
has convinced me that nothing could
be more fatal to accomplishing any
piece of work than to start wrong or
without adequate preparation. II this
thing is to be done in way that is
to give any relief to the public, it
must be done by careful, systematic
organization, and then palnStaKlng,
persistent pushing. Let me repeat
that l stand ready to do my part in
any way possible, but | am too much
of business man to be willing to
start in without seeing with reason
able clearness where We will come
out.
"All records, lists of names and
practically every scrap Of paper per-
tanning to food work are stored in
Washington and could not be made
available for some time, even If other
details could be arranged, and without
these records and some Of the exper-
fenced help we had in the food work
| fear it will take good while to do
effective work" he telgraphed Attor-
ney General Palmer when the message
of the latter was relayed here from
Burlington.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
With.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much aikali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil sham
boo (Which is pure and entirely grease
ess), is much better than anything else
you can use for shampooing, as this
PANT possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
fnd rub it in. One or two teaspoonful'
Fin make an abundance of rich, creamy
ather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lati1er rinses out easily,
md removes every particle of dust, dirt,
1andrufT and excessive oil. The hair
Ines quickly and evenly, and it leaves
finc and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
manage.
You can get Mu1sifed cocoanut OF
saampoo at most any drug store. 1t i
very cheap, and a few ounces is enough
last everyone in the family for months

Committee.
PROVIDES FOR INCREASE
Thirty!five Per Gent Would Be Added
to Salaries This Year ii Con-
gress Will Pass
Measure.

! keokuk letter carriers are asking
the aid of the civic bodies of Keo-
kuk and of Keokuk peopre to assist
them in securing bonus of thirty
| Ave percent on their salaries for
this year. There is a resolution pend
| ing which grants this bonus to let
ter carriers and postal employees
during the interim that the joint
postal commission is to meet and
make it's report. This bill is now IN
committee. 1t is said in getting
| this resolution out of tse committee
and on to the floor of tne house and
senate, that the letter carriers here
are seeking.
IF we can get that resolution on
to the floor of congress we aren't
afraid for the results" James Brer-
ton, spokesman for the carriers, said
yesterday. Congressman Kennedy
we know favors it, and all we ask
lis that people here help US IN get
ting it out for vote"
Say Salaries Insufficient.
Salaries of the letter carriers and
postal employees are not enough IN
these days of high prices, they say.
Young men will not go into the serv-
ice because Of the low wages paid,
and the fact that they must remain
as substitute carriers for several
months before becoming regulars.
This makes it hard on the older
men, who are advanced in years ana
who have large families to support,
in many instances.
A Joint congressional commission
has been appointed to investigate
the salary matter and to make re-
port. This report, measured by the
usual standard of slowness OF such
work would take considerable time,
and in the meantime the letter car
lriers must live.
Moses Has Resolution.
Senator George H. Moses of New
Hampshire, has introduced a resolu
ton providing for the payment dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July 1,
1918, of bonus of thirty-fiye per-
cent in addition to safary, pay and
compensation This resolution has
been referred to the committee on
postofices and post roads.
Pressure is being brought to bear
to get the resolution out of the COM
mittee. To this end spe letter car
| riers are asking the city council, the
Industrial and commercial associa-
lions of Keokuk and the business
men here, to write letters and send
Resolutions to congress asking that
the bill be brought up for vote.
The city council has already pass
ed a resolution favoring the letter

friends here to write letters to con-
lgressmen and senators asking help
