Big Meeting Of Victory Liberty
Loan Workers Last Night
Indicates Work Will be
Well Done Here.
WORK TO STARTMONDAY
All are Agreed This Series of
Bonds is So Attractive That
No One Can Afford to be
Without Their Share.

If the large and enthusiastic meet
ing of the Victory Liberty loan work
ers at the county court house is any
Indication, the fifth loan drive will
move as smoothly and quickly as did
any OF the former loans.
Every precinct in the southern half
of Lee county was represented by
men full of pep" and determination
to finish the Job. and do it in a
hurry.
The plans for the campaign are
virtually the same as in the fourth
loan and consists primarily of a can
yass by bonds statesmen.
Every person able to buy at least
one fifty dollar bond will be solicited
to do his share.
Boyd Suggests Quick Job.
Chairman r. 0. Boyd of the city
organization, said in part:
with this loan representing the
best investment of all the war loans
and with promise that you can make
to every one that this is to be the
last war campaign of any kind, we
ought to finish this job In four days
at the most.
ut isn't the best thing for the
business of the city to have this drive
hang on for week or two because
in the end Keokuk will go over the
top )hst as she would do in four days
If the workers get right on the job.
ITO me this is the loan which
should be the most cheerfully sub
scribed to as it represents the money
that our government is going to use
to pay for the implements of war

First Bond Sold.
The third ward has reported the
first bond sold in this city. Miss
Johanna Broders, cook at the home
Of j. B. Well, has subscribed for and
paid for in full for fifty dollar bond.
She has a fifty dollar bond of all
the former issues and she says she
wishes to complete her war obliga-
tons
Lee County Chairman John A. Dun
lap in addressing the meeting last
night said:
THE Victory Liberty loan bonds
are the highest form of security that
any country has issued In the last
fifty years. They are attractive for
many reasons. chiefly on account of
their high rate OF interest and be
cause to more than ninety percent
Of the holders in Keokuk they would
be entirely tax free. From purely
business standpoint these bonds
should sell as fast as any of the
previous ones, despite the fact that
people say the war is over"
Mrs. TIetjens Delighted Audience.
Mrs. >Eunice Tietjens, for fifteen
months war correspondent in France
for the Chicago Daily News, made
one of the most interesting talks
ever heard in Keokuk.
She told many things which had
been Censored out Of the news
columns and told most vivid story
of the scenes which she had wit
messed and which wree too horrible
for the average imagination.
She confirmed most emphatl-
cally the courage and the willingness
with which the American soldiers
entered and won their battles.
1t certainly was an extreme plea
sure for. those who heard Mrs. Tiet-
jens as no address ever delivered in
Keokuk contained such an interest
ing story of the civilian life just
back of the lines.
Entertain Mrs. Tietjens.
The wives of the ward chairmen
entertained Mrs. Tietjens, her daugh-
ter and Miss Connor, who consti-
tuted Mrs. Tietjens' party, by taking
them through the power house early
in the afternoon.
Later the women went for an auto
mobile drive to Montrose and across
the lake on the ferry and home on
the Illinois drive.
At 6 o'clock a dinner at which
covers for sixteen were laid, was
enjoyed at the Hotel Iowa.

with the opening OF the public
schools only q few days distant, plans
for the course OF studies and for spe-
cial lines of work have been complet-
| ed under the direction Of Superintend-
ent Palmer. Two departments OF the
high school work are to be given spe-
cial emphasis and attention this year
| They are the business and normal
courses. 1t is noticeable that not only
do large number OF city pupils Sc
| lect these courses but that consider
able number of tuition pupils take this
work.
In this connection II Is pointed out
by the superintendent that there were
109 tuition pupils In the grades and
high school last year. They paid to-
tai of $1,000 for schooling. 1t is ex-
pected that the number will be greatly
increased this year and plans are being
based accordingly on that expectation.
Synopsis Of Courses.
The larger number of the members
of each graduating class enter college,
but many follow at once some busi-
ness vocation or teach In the rurai
schools. College entrance courses are
provided for the former and business
and normal courses for the latter.
Inasmuch as wsll-grounded foun-
dation Is necessary for the successful
pursual Of a course in business, COM
mercial work IL not offered as an cleo
tive study until the tenth grade. The
course includes bookkeeping, account
ancy, shorthand typewriting, business
law, business arithmetic, business
English and history Of commerce ana
industry. These subjects are carried
on In connection with the cultural
studies thru grades ten. eleven and
twelve IL the student desires a high
school diploma. II he does not he spe-
cializes in, commercial branches and Is
prepared to take a business position
much more quickly.
The popularity Of the work Is evil
denced by the large enrolment In the
department in both regular and sum-
mer sessions. The calls for high school
young men and women with business
| training is far in excess of the sup
ply. ~.
Normal Training Course.
The normal training department, un-
der state aid, was organized In the
local high school in 1914. Any pupil
who has completed the tenth grade
