Ought to Be Easier.

c. r. Joy was the chief speaker and
ne gave an interesting address GOV
ering the history Of the Keokuk Y NJ
G A. from the time twenty years ago
when some of these same men, decid
ing that Keokuk needed Y. NJ C. A
building, set out to raise the funds for
that purpose.
He stated that Keokuk has progress
ed in a marked degree since that time
and that there is probably two or three
times the wealth in the city now that
there was then, and that the thing
which shows most progress of all is
that the people are being educated to
give to the enterprises IN the city
which build character.
He said setting out TO raise $4,000
now, for the double budget, covering
rwo years work OF the association
rhould be very small undertaking
when com pared with the work OF those

building twenty years ago.
II. s. Walker talked of the work
which the association is doing In its
educational department, taking up the
work Of the chemistry classes, the
mechanical drawing class, the automo

can build them, and the new car can
not be manufactured fast enough to
meet the demand.
Three hundred and twenty-five Biz

$50 more are under construction on
orders, with more and more orders
coming in daily to the manufAc-
turers. Seventy-six companies are
now using a total of 1915 light safety
cars of all types, and although there
is no accurate information Of the
total number Of all types Of these

One Of the First Three Made was
Placed in Service Here, and
Now Use Runs Into

The only real change in street
cars ever made since electric power
was applied to them thirty years
ago, was the invention of the Birney
car by a Stone and Webster engi-
neer, and the first use of the new
car was here.
Three Birney cars were made first
and two of them went to Seattle and
the Pacific coast, while at the same
time another was put into service at
Hamilton, Illinois, by the Keokuk
Electric company.

AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense" is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California, sums I'D
his experience with Ne0lin Soles. MIR.
Pearson had two pairs Of shoes re-
soled with Neolin Soles, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes Il will have to get new shoes
sometime, but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Ne6lin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof, these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for re-soling. They are made BY The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, Akron,
Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels
guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

Thirty-siX carloads of fragrant
booze passed through M<rtinsburg
during the night over the Balti-

and export. The train was run on
slow schedule so as to avoid any
hot boxes or wrecks inc rder to save
The valuable fluid from danger, and

companied the valuable shipment.
Two negro train riders were taken
from the train at this point and one
Of them remarked on his way to the
local Jail: Boss, is Baltemo goin'

that the youthful burglars who es-
capped from the officers clutches
boarded this train east last night.

 He said that James J. McKenna and Cornelius Buford, specialists in installation work, would be in charge. These men have been here assisting in the campaign. This part of the work has been developed by the American City bureau thru long ex- perience, he said, and was very eff fective in making successful or ganization. It would be necessary for the members to attend the vari- ous group meetings to be held, and to take an interest in every change to be made under the new plan.
 Mir. Mcfarland said that the by- laws committee would meet Monday afternoon and that a meeting of the members for the discussion of the bylaws would be held as soon as possible. After that, the election of trustees would be held. He ask ed that once the trustees are elected all members support them. He made a plea for harmony.
 He showed how the program of work would be developed .and how the special committee system would operate.
 He said that the campaign was one of the best in which he had ever participated, and declared that he ] never worked with such fine and | efficient group of men as in the campaign.

Wartime ''Prohi"
 Act Itself Open
 to Doubt, Says Judge

St. Louis, Dec. 5.-In granting 8 temporary injunction to distillers of whiskey here today, restraining Uni ted States District Attorney Hensley and Collector of Internal Revenue Moore from enforcing the Volstead wartime prohibition enforcement act, as it concerns whiskey and wines, Federal Judge Paris, not only ques- tioned seriously the constitutionality of this act, but went further and questioned the constituionality of the wartime prohibition act itself as it now operates.
 Judge Paris in his decision devoted much space to the question of fact as to whether the war is in fact over and whether demobilization has in fact occurred. In this connection, he quoted the presidents veto message on the Volstead bill in which the president said the objects of the war time prohibition measure had been satisfied in the demobilizaton of the army and navy"
 Judge Paris calls attention in his decision to the fact that in time of war government necessarily must take on the cloak of autocracy, but "when the menace ceases to threaten; when the war is over, the reign of autocracy should cease and demo- cracy ought to and must beat back to it's constitutional moorings if free government under the law is to en- dure among men,"

Still Seek Eight
 in Newberry Case

Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 5.-Al- though United States marshals have secured the state armed with bench warrants for those indicted by the federal grand jury which investigated alleged frauds in the Newberry sen- atorial campaign, the marshals re- ported tonight that there were eight men whom they were unable to To- cate. The names the officers would not divulge.
 Because of this delay and the fact that some of the 46 who still re- main to be arraigned are said to be ill and unable to come into court to enter pleas as early as expected, it is believed that the entire list of ar raignments will not be completed be- fore next Thursday.
 Three men appeared today and stood mute. The court entered pleas of not guilty and fixed bonds.
 Thus far 89 men have been ar raigned and except two have filed pleas of not guilty or have stood mute.

Says CarranZa Is
 Closing Oil Wells

Houston, Texas, Dec. 5.-Carranza's oft repeated threat to close in all producing oil wells in Mexico brought in since his decree nationa- lizing petroleum lands went into ef- feet was made good during the past week, according to advices received from Tampico by the Oil Weekly, an oil journal published here. All wells brought in by companies refusing to apply for permits under Carranza's decree. and which were completed since his decree was made effective several months ago, was closed in and guards placed around them, the dis patch, received in Houston late in the week, states. Carranza last week shut down all drilling wells belong ing to companies refusing to take out permits.
 The Mexican governments action cuts Mexico's production nearly four hundred thousand barrels a day.
