But They are Coming Back Again
This Evening After Visit to

Today.

Attend Movies in a Body and Pull Off
Vaudeville Stunt of Their
Own at End Of Another
Perfect Day.

The lumbermen OF the southeast
ern Iowa association and their wives
left Keol0uk this forenoon. They
will be back again this evening after
a trip to Ilasco, Missouri. to be
| shown a big cement mill.
They will take their final depar-
ture on the evening trains today, go
ing home from what they say was
the best convention and the most
fun they ever had in the twenty-five
years they have been holding annual
conventions.
The advance guard arrived last
Tuesday evening and at once began
to dance in the Tiffany room of the
Hotel Iowa; many of them were
dancing in that same room-again,
or yet--at an early hour this morn
ing. This is TYPICAL Of the way
things happened throughout the con-
vention. 1t was rapid action every
minute OF the time.
A special train Of five coaches
took them all, and some Keokuk
prominent citizens. to the Atlas ce-
ment plant near Hannibal, today,
leaving at 10 O'Clock and due to re-
turn about $50 o'clock this evening.
The cement company was their hosts
and furnished guides and entertain
ment to the large party.
Sold Soap at the Movies.
The boxes and first floor of the
Grand motion picture theater were
filled with lumbermen and their
wives last evening at 7:15 o'clock,
when they were the guests there of
the Keokuk retailers OF lumber, to
see 1.-THE Squaw Man" Son the screen.
1t was soon evident that among 9TH
er things they are all movie fans, and
they seemed to highly appreciate the
show.
At the end OF the last reel. one OF
the best features of the meeting was
pulled off by G. NJ Grimes. one of
the sales organization in ST. Louis
Of the Atlas Cement company. He
gave an imitation Of man selling
soap on street corner that was
better than the real thing, and he
had to respond to an encore de
manded by the audience. /,
Keokuk people In the house had a
chance to hear the Hoo-Hoo syell,
which was given as one expression
of applause by the visiting lumber
men.
Wonders Of the Water Power.
It was about o'clock yesterday
afternoon when the members of the
association and their wives went
down to the concrete island in the
river to see the giant power house
and dam. and the huge dry dock and
immense lock built by the water
power company for government use.
They practically all went, includ-
ing the wives, and half dozen COM
pany electrical engineers piloted the
large party through the plant. They
were taken down the long, narrow
gate room, where the sixty huge
steel gates guard the tnlets to the
turbines, then out on the dam, and
finally back through the big, tiled
generator room to the power house
door.
Things were explained to them, as
much at least as lay1nan can under
stand, and they got new impress
sion of what water power can do
when harnessed by engineers-not to
speak of the absolutely clean floor OF
acres of tiles, which the women at
least noticed.
