With Burlington and Fort

Big One.

With the Keokuk Community band
leading the entire Labor day process
sion and Keokuk's delegation to the
celebration in Fort Madison in evil
dence at every turn of the program,
Keokuk took a prominent place IN
the tri-city celebration Of the holiday
at Fort Madison yesterday. The Keo-
kuk delegation went to Fort Madison
on two extra coaches on the north
bound train yesterday morning. They
went as solid delegation and were
led in the march down Main street
from their hall by the Community
band.
The Community band and Keokuk
were honored when the post Of honor
and the head of the procession was
assigned to the local musicians. In
the evening the three bands which
were at Fort Madison got together
and gave concert. There were
seventy-five in these combined or.

Many Keokuk people drove to Fort
Madison, and it looked like process
sion of autos several miles long when
the cars began to stream home last
night The lake shore drive was
crowded with cars from 8 o'clock I'M
til midnight. Besides the program
at Fort Madison, local people pic
nicked or drove to other nearby
points for the days outing. In the
evening there were the theaters and
a beach dance to furnish amusement
for the holiday crowd. The day was
observed as practically an entire
holiday. Business was virtually sus
pended and there was little doing
in Keokuk except in the nature Of a
holiday.

pie taking part in the celebration
from 10000 to $4,000 Evidence of
the crowd that thronged the city was

its crowd of visitors throughout the

the protection of the home and the lives Of the
family. And yet at holiday time parents who
try to keep their children free from even the
possibility Of danger will install in the heart OF
their homes, where it is sure to be the center OF
attraction for the little ones, the most inflana-
znable thing that ever enters 1.-THE ordinary
evergreen Christmas tree. While it grows more
dry and dangerous in the warm rooms they drape
it with cotton for snow, tissue paper loops and
tinse for decorations, stick candles all over it,
hang up toys that every child will grab for, and
than trust to luck and providence for safety from
hazard that may prove as dangerous and as
deadly rs q rattlesnake or an open key Of gun
powder. Just to play fair and take his share Of
the chances pater familias often surrounds him
self with pillows, puts on cotton hair and whisk-
ers and makes himself more Of a menace than a
help in case fire should start.
And fires do start, thousands of them every
holiday season. Firemen look forward to run
Of Christmas tree fires just as they did to Fourth
Of July fires before the sane Fourth movement
put an end to them in many places. Why not a
sane Christmas as we'll as sane Fourth? Why
should the children's festival be made the means
Of destroying hundreds Of lives and thousands
of homes? Use little electric lights instead of
candles, asbestos instead Of cotton, non-combust-
:ihle decorations instead of inflammables, and
then watch the tree with the utmost care, es-
pecially when the children are around it. It's
better to be safe than sorry, especially with the
little ones at Christmas time.

Preparing for Christmas

Comparatively little poverty is found in Rich
uaond this year. Any man who wants to work
can obtain employment with wages enabling him
to support his family with ease. Unless illness
or misfortune has stricken family, there are
few of our citizens who are in acute need.
In making our plans for Christmas it is not
hnaiss to keep in mind those of our neighbors and
acquaintance who have felt the sting of misfor-
hume this year. Many of them will not inform
khe charity bureau Of their needs. Considerate
neighbors, with little expense and trouble, can
assure Christmas joy for the children of these
families by little community service of their
own. A few donations will suffice to bring hap
piness to the hearts of the little ones and to
cheer those who are i'll and unable to help them
selves.
