County Treasurer n. A. Skyies is
Swamped With Applications for
Licenses for Motor Cars
in This District.

County Treasurer Fl. A Styles Is
again being swamped with arplica-
lions for automobile licenses by
motorists who are receiving their
new spring cars, according to the FIT.
Madison Democrat Thirty-fve new
motor cars were registered this
morning and one or two cars which
were not registered before and were
liable to the penalty of delay.
This makes total of more than
800 automobiles which have been
licensed by Mr.. Skyles, and pros
poets of having large number in
the next few weeks.
There is little hope that these
motorists will get their license tags
this year at all. since the supply or
tags ran out long ago and there is
little assurance from Des Moines that
any more can be supplied. Originally
2, 500 were allotted TO Lee county
with the permission to write 600
more il the ocasicon demanded. This
six hundred and another 600 have
been written by Mr.. Styles.

RUNAWAY TEAM
, ON SOUTH FIFTH
Hamilton Transfer Wagon Horses
Make Spectacular Dash up the
Street and Run Into Pole
IT. on johnson Street.

A team OF horses attached to the
Hamilton transfer wagon this morn
ing ran away from the vicinity of
Fifth and Bank streets, dashed up
Fifth to johnson and turned the cor
ner at Johnson street, running the
wagon tongue into the electric light
pole there and throwing both horses
to the ground.
The horses were thrown ON either
side OF the electric light pole. ana
were not seriously hurt by their fan
on the brick pavement and sidewalk.
How they escaped smashing their
heads against the pole, no one seems
to know.
Nothing in the wagon was damaged
or lost, and the most serious damage
done was to the tongue which was
cracked by the impact with the light
pole.

ADVERTISING Cut In Halt.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April II

When Ed. P. MnnfAnus died,
the boys Of Keokuk lost their
best friend-one who really
understood them and neither
lectured them about making
grades at school, nor scolded
them for making a noise ON the
vacant lots.
For awhile the boys of this
town had no spokesman among
the grown-ups to get them va
can't lots to play ball on, and to
defend them against very re-
spectacle old people who COM
planned to the police about the
boys disturbing their noon nap
The town was full of real
philauthropists, as always
but it happened that nobody
made a. speciality of boys like
&. P. McManus did, and few
people could even give a good
definition Of a real boy-neith-
er a sissy nor a roughneck.
Finally somaabody vuan up
to the situation.
The Y. II. q. A. announced
that after q certain date about
a year ago, all boys IN Keokuk
were entitled to its services,
automatically by simply baing
boys, and regDless Of riches,
poverty, number Of heckles
color Of hair, area Of Adrtfrunt
or back, religion, or tho politics
or family tree Of their parents,
or whether they ever had any
parents.
And all this was to besabso-
1utely free of any charge
Once more, the Keo&uk boys
had a. champion for real boy
hood without strings attached
Did their appreciate it2
Thew did. ! .i:ts;
The plan was The fnrmat7nn
Of boys clubs called groups in
all parts Of town meeting in al
sorts of places, each group to
be assigned one evening a week
at the Y. M. G. "A. building for
games, the swimming pool, and
all sorts of real boy fun.
So many Of them appreciat-
ed the new order Of boy things,
that even with only one club an
evening IN the building, they
crowded it so much that 1t re-
quired agility to stand still.
It is very apparent that the
quarters for the boys there
must be enlarged-be made
several times as large as they
are now-as they were built
twenty five years ago. "
This costs money these days.
This addition to the annual
budget makes the total rather
large. But the total Is only
$13 900, or less than a dollar
for each inhabitant of Keokuk.
A dozen or so men have been
subscribing the money to run
the Y. NJ. G. A. for years-the
Keokuk Y. M. G. A. and its or
binary expenses Of operation
This boy avalanche makesis
a proposition for all Keoknk
people to help pay for. Some
men will give $500 toward It
but it is the subscriptions Of
one dollar to ten dollars that
will count most, really.

gins Thursday afternoon

Washington, Jan. 5,-The federal

Ing that the selling of sugar In COM
bination with other goods TO force
purchasers to buy other articles In
order to obtain sugar is an unfair
method CT competition and has order
ed large Chicago concern to cease

The practice of selling sugar to
customers on condition that they make

more or less prevalent throughout the
entire country ever since the people
began to experience difficulty in OBJ
tanning sugar from retailers.
President Wilson has decided not to
exercise the powers conferred by the

statement from the White House de-
clares that there Is apparently

Luther r. Fowles of New York was
the speaker at the Sunday night For
um at the Second Congregational
church. He gave an interesting ad-
dress before large and appreclative
audience. His subject was "Ameri-
can Responsibility in the Near East"
During the first three years CT the

as acting treasurer and at the same
time served as American attache of

ambassador at the capital of Turkey.
Mr. Fowle was almost alone in looking
after the interests of. this country.
Mr. Fowle is native of Turkey

age in the American missionary and
educational service He came to this
country for his education and gradu-
ated from Williams college in 1912.

pie.
During the past five years the people
of this country have given 30,000,000
dollars for relief work in Turkey and
to care particularly fer children
threatened with massacre by the
Turks. Gradually these people can
be rescued and rendered self support

to do the work.
Mr.. Fowle urged that the United
States ought TO become part of the
League of Nations and take charge
OF western and northern Turkey I'M
til q responsible government can be
established and the safety OF the
Christians there be assured. He said
that the tales of Armenian massacres
have not been exaggerated and still
continue wherever the Turks are In
