Each One In Lee County Gets More
or Less Of an Increase Under the
New Law Passed by Last
legislature
SHERIFF LEAST OF ALI
None Of Them are Very Much Chang
ed Over Old Rate, Except Re-
corder, Who Was Getting
Too Little Before.

The new law fixing the salaries of
county officers has been received by
the board of supervisors Of Lee
county and put into effect beginning
April 80.
The county auditors salary is raised
from $4,000 to $4,000 with 81, 500 addi-
tional for care of his deputies at the
other county seat, of whom there are
two.
The treasurer who was getting
$4,000, hereafter draws $4,000 a year
with $500 for his deputy at the other
county seat Of Lee county.
The clerk Of the district court has
his salary raised from $4,000 to $4,000
per annum, with $500 salary for each
Of two deputies, and three actually at
work, in this county with it's double
organization.
The Largest and Smallest.
The recorder gets the best boost, as
his salary was very low before the
new law was passed. His annual
stipend Is raised from 1900 to $4,000
with 81 300 for his deputy.
The sheriff gets only small raise,
from $4,000 to $1,000 year, with
5, $50, for each two deputies. The
deputies are raised from $1,1O0 how
ever, even IL their chief does not get
much additional income.
The law fixes the salaries on a slid
ing scale according to the population
of the county, and the figures above
are what Lee county figures out under
the statute.

HIGH FINANCE,
AND GOOD ART
High Tension Club Sets an Example
in the Ono and Has a Fine
Program of the Other
Last Evening".

!. 1t was art night at the High Ten
sion club regular meeting last even
ing. The program was music and
pictures, with collection as an
interlude.
Some other organizations might
take a hint from. the collection. The
president announced that $3.50 was
needed to apply on buying a piano.
and in five minutes, the collection
in the audience had yielded s142.50,
with a number of absentees to be
seen by a committee today. And
then it was explained that many of
the men had gone the absolute limit
on buying Liberty bonds. to which
the club subscribed more thoroughly
Keokuk. and probably in Iowa. And
only two or three men there have
salaries that are very considerable.
The pictures were reel Of comedy
and Ave reels of drama laid in the
fur country of the northwest, with q
hero and villain and a girl and a
loving mother and some beautiful
scenery.
The music. being made by the club
itself, was better than the pictures
even, and the latter were the best
obtainable in America. 1t was given
by trio and mandolin club.
The trio was composed of III. A.
Helwig, violin; p. F. Gregg, flute.
and A. w. Ferguson, spiano. The
mandolin club with c. J. Spring as
director, consists of R. W. PARCELS,
r. V. Daw, e. w. Mccoy, II. H.
Baldwin, Harold Hart, William Dan
ford, Harvey Huff, liner R. Carlson.
and d. e. Vath. although the last
three did not play last evening.
Both trio and mandolin club were
encored over and over and compelled
to play many numbers.

friends who can secure invitations to

Torturing Pains Promptly
Return in All Their Intensity

You may as well throw your lini-
ments to the winds, if you expect
them to rid you of the pangs Of
rheumatism. In fact, the sooner you
discard forever the use Of all forms
OF local treatment, the sooner you
VIII get on the right track which
leads to rational means of relief.
For you can rub and rub from
now until doomsday, and you will
never make any progress toward
Kidding yourself Of rheumatism, be-
cause such treatment does not ap-
proach the source Of the disease.
Remember from the outset that
the pangs Of rheumatism come from
a deepseated cause, and that sim
Ply rubbing the painful parts Of
the body has no effect on the dis
ease itself. But when you locate
the cause Of the disease, the real
source of all these intense pains,
you can then treat the disease in
telligently.
And until you do treat your
rheumatism intelligently, you will

All Her Interests are with the Louis
lana Seaport and Against New
York In Present Competi-
ton for Ships.
DIRECT TO FOREIGNERS
With Breaking Of Bulk only Once,
Cheapest Rates Imaginable, and
Power Docks, This will be
Gateway City Again.

"There is contest on right now
which concerns Keokuk more than
ANYTHING in transportation since rail-
roads overcame river navigation and
transferred to Chicago the place OF
being the gate city for the big north
west" said Keokuk man who knows
big transportation because he Is an
exporter.
New York is asking that about
thr ee-fourths of the marine tonnage
the government is creating be as
signed to her, and New Orleans wants
to get substantial share of this fol-
herself.
Keokuk is an ally to New Orleans in
this movement.
The Natural Way to Do 1t.
Mississippi river shipments must
find ships at New Orleans to carry
them to the gulf states, South America
and California. New Orleans Is only
q little ways north Of the Panama
canal.
Now, Keokuk exports chiefly to New
York, on their way to California,
thousand miles in the wrong direc-
tion-and even then water freight is
so cheap that it is often cheaper than
to ship them west by rail to the Paci-
fic coast.
The natural, logical and cheapest
way, Is to float them down the Missis-
sippi river to New Orleans without
breaking bulk, and there load them
on ocean going ships for destination.
Is Working In Practice.
The government barge line between
ST. Louis and New Orleans is now
carrying capacity in both directions
The secret and keystone of the
whole thing is-the power docks at
New Orleans ON which freight is
lifted directly from freight cars or
barges and placed In the holds of the
ocean vessels through the matches.
New Orleans already has modern
power crane terminals on the Missis-
sippi. st. Louis and Davenport are
starting these docks.
"Keokuk will have to build them on
the levee, and that is all there Is to
it, if she is going to be a port for the
oarges in few years, and is going to
have freight rates to the Pacific coast
and foreign countries as low as other
people," said the Keokuk manufac-
turer.
