"Les We Forget"

-
To the Editor of The Gate City
Two years ago. all keokuK WAS
alive with patriotism and fuH OF
sympathy FOR and appreciation OF the
American soldier in general and heo-
xix soldiers in particular. We thought
then we would never cease to honor
them for their part in thevterrlnc
struggle overseas.
The war came to an end. The boys
came home. And we appeared 70

do not believe that Keokuk is lack
ing in real appreciation OF her sol
diers.
Yet "evfl is wrought by want OF
thought as we'll as by want OF care.
A most touching remark came to
the writer's ears recently. 1t was
this: .'Keokuk does not care for US;
she has lost all interest in U.s. She
will not support anything we do.
There is no use trying. keokuk
people have forgotten us"
The American Legion started out
to raise a fund for themselves. They
wanted to honor their dead COM
rades: to comfort friends; to minis
ter to the sick: and to provide a
meeting place FOR the members of
the legion. In all their plans Bet
ter Americanism" was their motto;
and they thought they could depend
on Keokuk to support them IN this
laudable enterprise.
But they have not received this

believe that her voice was not perfect. She ap-

year she returned to Europe, her public career

HENRY FORD POINTS THE WAY.

New York Sun: Henry Ford is
both a great manufacturer and a
great merchant He could never have
become the great producer he is if
he had not been a great merchant. 1t
is because Ford is the outstanding
genius of the automobile world as a
merchant that he has become the out
standing genius Of the automobile
world as a producer.
The Ford automobile Is primarily
what it has come to be because Ford
had greater genius than any of his
competitors in the distribution of his
car. With the price right and his
selling organization right the produc-
ton of his car became matter OF
ways and means of keeping up with
the demand And as the, output in
creased the cost of production de-
creased, and as this decrease in cost
was deducted by the great merchant
from the selling price the demand au-
Dramatically increased.
In his early days Henry Ford was
a mechanic at the bench 1t was as
a mechanic that he dreamed out the
now world famous Ford car. He had
never been a merchant. had never fan
cied that he was endowed Win the
qualities of merchant, though it was
as a merchant that he was and is
nothing short of genius of the hrst
order.
And now he has given us fresh evil
dence of his vision as matchless dis
tributor of the products OF his mann
moth workshops in the drastic slash
ing of prices to pre-war levels. IN
this stroke Henry Ford has pointed
the way for all other producers, all
other merchants. The country Is
headed for lower prices, pre-War
prices or prices Whereabouts.
No man. no body of men, no associ-
alton of interests working In collusion
or corporation however gigantic. can
hold up these unnatural and exorpi
tant war prices. What Henry Ford
has done in his far reaching vision
other men must do or they cannot
survive

AN OLD FALLACY.

One of the ablest leaders of the British rali-
waylnen's union takes strong ground against
the theory popular in labor circles IN the United
Kingdom that restriction of output by workers
is a good thing as preventing. unemployment
1t Is on this theory that British unions have put
a brake on efficient workers holding them back
to the standard Of output of the least efficient,
as for example when a capable br1ckla5er IS
not allowed to lay more brick In day than the
slowest least competent man on the job. Inns
theory has never been openly or othclaliy sane
toned here in America Our labor leaders were
too Lowell HEADED for that. And 1t Is interesting
therefore to see this British labor leader de-
nouncing restriction Of output for any reason
as folv and worse. eve want Imports be
saws. eve have to have them; but the only
way we can get them. if they are obtalnable at
all, is by paying for them, and the only way we
can pay for them is by exports. Exports are
non-existent without production"
One by one and slowly all patent economic
heresies like this and others that come to mind
will be laid to rest But while we are expert
menting with them we shall have our troubles,
until, as was said Of old, the knowledge OF the
truth shall set US free.
Il ia said that Emperor William, with the aid
of a large cigar, is turning out every day two or
three pages of manuscript of his work on boil
shevism But if he does not work faster than
that. bolshevism may get him before he com
pletes his book and Lenine and Trotsky may
publish it in Petrograd in its unfinished state,
with jeering comments upon the emperor and
the overthrow of Imperialism.
There is a vast amount of appositeness in the
fafa pnn kg
whether the Americans contributing to foreign
missions do SO for advertising purposes or be-
cause they believe in the value Of oriental souls
they wish to save; and why brother who is fit
to be met ON an equality in more blissful realms
is so object on able in this mundane sphere

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
OCTOBER DAYS.


October days. How tardy they come
To blend into the shadows Of the eve
And fade into the darkness of the night.
October days. How gentle and how fine,
How beautiful, how colorfu, how bright
In dress OF red and brown and green and gold.
And bathed in tender shadows and soft light
October days How pensive is their air.
How fugitive of mood. A lack Of sound IT,
T,rcsods deathlike all the stubble fields,
hush the prelude of the winter song
October days. The chorus has been stopped
And still the solo rings up to the skies,
Until the air in spirit is dissolved,
While on the earth healing silence falls.
October days. The harvesting is done,
The running OF the yellow sap has ceased,
All cares and troubles at an end
The Universal Mother sleeps and dreams.
October days All life is at poise.
The tide of months at last has reached its Hood
The leaf must fall, the seed go to its tomb
To rest until the resurrection morn.
October days. From forest, wood and stream
A fragrant incense floats upon the breeze,
The essence of ripe perfected life,
The bounty Of d nature oEulent-
The spring is BIRTH and summer is the growth,
October days, though, are maturity
the futernezzo in the endless song,
The melody OF birth and life and death

citizens of the nation, his words and
his example must have aroused
new love for America and all things
American; for the government and

means; for the opportunities which
await those who are industrious; for

age to the cabinet is open to all who
strive.

gained lin all their money making

a ticket to every entertainment offer

years, one could not have spent more
than -$4.T5 in that time.
We have failed also in other ways

also on the part of their employees.
The railroad industry is evidently
working with more zeal than it has

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Mr.. Cox is not great man, not even
a big man. The more he wiggles and

that he isn't presidential timber. He
gives the impression of instability.

Answer These Questions
About Your Ewes

SO much depends upon the condit.
ion of ones eyes that it is a very
wise thing, indeed, to know eactly
what condition they are in, so ask
yourself the following questions and
answer them frankly, candidly, truth
fully. You can form some idea Of
your needs by this simple self-exami-
nation.
Can you see clearly?
Your sight may never have been
perfect. Hence you may not realize
its deficiencies.
Can you see long way?
This if often symptom of defec-
tive vision-the defect of Long
Sight" or Hyperopia, to be precise.
Do you need more light?
This is one of the symptoms of old
sight which affects most people of
forty years old and over.
How near do you hold things?
If you need to hold things nearer
to your eyes than twelve or fourteen
inches in order to see clearly, your
eyesight is probably defective.
Does your head ache?
Many of the most racking and dis
tressing headaches are caused by eye
strain. Correctly fitted glasses gen.
orally give permanent relief.
Are you ever dizzy?
Dizziness, or vertigo, sometimes
happens in acute cases of eyestrain.
Are distant objects dim?
This is a common sign of defective
vision a defect that only properly
fitted glasses will remedy.
Does small print blur?
In reading your book or newspaper
do the letters blur r seem to run
into one another" This is an indi-
cation that glasses are needed.
Do you habitually frown?
The habit of frowning or knitting
the eyes together" is one of the re-
suits of eyestrain.
Do your eyes ache?
Aching or smarting' is only posi-
BILE in defective eyes. AS long as
they remain p rfect they will not
ache or smart.
