DRIVE IS SUCCESS
/ REPORTS REVEAL
keokuk Industrial Associations Cam
paign for Funds is Practically
Complete and Goal is
Reached.
ONLY FEW TO REPORT
Most of These are From Industries
With Out of Town Officers and
- Where individuals are Out
Of City.

The Keokuk Industrial assoeia
tons drive for funds has been sue
cessful, reports to the officials based
on returns ninety percent complete
show. The goal of $4,000 will have
been reached and possibly passed
when the complete reports are avail
liable. About ten percent of the pros
poets are still to be heard from.
These include the firms in Keokuk
which have had to refer the matter
to headquarters in other cities, and
the people who are out of town on
bu siness and vacations.
The drive which was to be a two
day affair was completed practically
in that time, save for few out of
town firms and few local people
lwho were out Of town at the time.
The teams went out at noon follow
ing the big meeting at the Grand, and
keokuk responded to the call as she
always has to such calls, with liber
ality.
Subscriptions were given in the
amounts asked for in practically
every case, and where there were
any exceptions to the rule, they were
increases. One Of the big factories
was asked to give certain amount
and the sum was voluntarily IN
creased. One solicitor who had one
name on his list, found four in the
same office. who were glad to con-
tribute. He got an extra man in an
other office on his territory, and other
solicitors tell similar stories of get
ting additional subscriptions than the
ones originally given them.
The activities of the Industrial as
ISOLATION are taking on new life now,
and a number of things looking to
the advancement of Keokuk have
been discussed by the directors and
will be considered.

situation.
This very fact should bring the big
men into direct opposition with any
bull market-other than a creeping,
slow advance.
Some Good Signs.
So far the really good signs that
have developed in price reduction,
lessened production, etc, have been
especially to the latter. 1t may be
that the cutting has been largely on
the part of the retailer, seeing the
season advancing and stocks accumu-
lating.
No one doubts that the retailer
may clip profits and still have large
profits left.
SO far the results have been salts
factory. in that quite a number of
men have been made to realize that
war times are over. even though
peace is still officially far away.
Should this spread to other industries,
and more half-days and less excess
work, at overtime rates. it may slim
ulate competition among workers.
something that has come to be al
most absent from industry of today.
Already Adopted in Baltimore.
During the war, when our bank
employees were worked day and night
on government and bank business,
a proposition was made to close
banks at 2 pm. daily and II noon
Saturdays. 1t came very close to
adoption, but it did not go through be-
cause Of few objections.
Baltimore has decided to open at
o'clock and close at o'clock daily,
regular banking hours. The clearing
house banks were unit on the plan
and the state banks and trust COM
panies agreed. One institution could
not block the wheels of the entire
community.

of which +. G. Addison. chairman of

ably WELD the gavel.
Robert n. Harper, who will be elect
ed president of the association Tues
day, will follow with a, discussion of
the local financial situation, and no
one will blame him if he enlarges
his subject from local to national.
Every one on board is or should be
familiar with local conditions-money
scarce and hard to get, local securi
ties slow and weak, and general bust
ness very satisfactory with large daily
clearings and with fairly good pay

ShOuld Discount Election

BY this time the market should
be discounting the nomination and
election Of a republican President, II
the stories of runaway campaign
are true. 1t is more than probable
that hesitation is due to uncertainty
regarding the nomination. 1t is so
mixed out in Chicago. according to
all reports, that there is a possibility
for a dark horse winning the race, and
the country wants no dark. unknown
horse.
1t wants, according to bankers and
business men, a presidential candi-
date who understands business as
transacted in the United States, prac-
teal and experienced, without radical
ideas.
In the meantime 1t is perhaps best
that the market should go slow; tax

city and village, personal and realty
taxes are payable all over the coun-
