EXPRESS CAR
WAS BURNED
GaIesbure Was Scene Of conflagra-
ton in Which Burlington Route
Car and Contents Were
Destroyed.

GALESBURG, H., Oct. 2.-Mer
chandise worth several thousand dol
lars was lost yesterday when an ex.
press coach on Burlington train No. 3.
which reaches Galesburg at $50
a. m, caught fire just as the train
was pulling into this station. Express
company officials were unable today
to even approximate the value OF the
property destroyed. The car was
well filled and its contents were
practically q total loss.
The fire started when a lamp in
the car exploded, throwing blazing
oil all over the coach and its con-
tents. The explosion came as the
train was crossing Mulberry street,
and by the time it had reached the
station the whole interior Of the
coach was in flames. The car was
pulled up under water spout used
in filling engine tenders and the
water was turned on and the fire de.
partment called. The coach was de.
tached from the train and after the
arrival of the firemen the fire was
quickly subdued, not quickly enugh,
however, to save the contents of the
car
There was a big shipment Of Chi.
cago morning papers in the coach,
and 1t is presumed that this had
much to do with the rapid spread OF
the flames.

@'The workmanship on a Cadillac is simply perfect.
There is other word for it. It is far and away
superior to anything l have seen elsewhere. The
infinite pains taken over the infinitely small jobs

This Annual Occasion to be Observed
by keokuk Schools Friday All
Over the City Is the
Plan.
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
Sheets" Have Been Given to Pupils
and are to be Filled Out ny
Parents in Regard to Home
Conditions.

Efforts in Keokuk in regard to
Greater Iowa week, October 4 to 8
will be concentrated on Fire Proven
ton day and will be generally OBJ
/ served in the schools. Fire Proven
ton day is Saturday, October 9, but
| it will be honored in the keokuk
schools on the Friday preceding.
Attempts will be made in this city
| to show the pupils in the schools and
! the parents at home the importance
of fire prevention and how it is pos
sible, with precaution, to prevent
practically all of the fires which oc-
cur every year in this state.
Sheets" containing fifteen OF
twenty questions in regard to con.
ditions in homes which harbor op-
portunities for fires to break out
have been given to the children in
all of the schools. The pupils have
been asked to take these sheets
home, discuss the questions with
their parents, fill them out and re-
turn the papers to their teachers at
school, which will finally be returned
to Superintendent Aldrich.
May Remedy Conditions.
The questions have been given out
week ahead of time in order that
the pupils, with their parents, may
have time to remedy some of the
conditions at home which do not con-
form to the fire prevention rules, be-
fore answering the questions and re-
turning them to headquarters. Part
of the purpose has been accom-
plished when the pupils and parents
take steps to improve the conditions
at home which are the causes of
many fires.
The Garfield school is making spe-
cial efforts to observe the day by
having Fire Commissioner David j. |
Hemmy talk to an assembly of the
pupils of that school Friday on the
subject Of fires and how they can be
prevented. Fire drills will be held |
in practically all of the buildings and |
fire prevention lessons will be read.
Iowa to Curb Losses.
Iowa as a state is the victim Of
many hundreds of fires year which
result in a loss of thousands of dol
lars, and the fire prevention days
are observed in all places of the state
to educate Young America in the pre-
vention Of such needless waste Of
property.
While Keokuk schools are concen-
trating practically all of their efforts
FOR next week on the Fire Prevention
day, other cities in the state are OBJ
serving "Greater Iowa week from a
commercial standpoint. Ottumwa and
Cedar Rapids are planning to make
a special display in their downtown
in their business districts.
Of the manufacturing and farming in
dustries in their cities, and special
will be held on certain
days Of the week of Iowa's resources.

right to deprive them.
It would Be hypoc1iitical for N to
pretend that we believe that the
English engineer who is quoted
above has overstated the case IN his
reference 10 Cadillac Workmanship.
Infinite pains taken over. the M
hnitely small jobs" these words
he has given true and graphic pic
ture Of the rigid rules that govern
Cadillac manufacture.
Spurred on BY the overwhelming
tributes paid to Cadillac perform
ance by foreign observers and
American military men in the world
war, Cadillac craftsmen have re-
doubled, during the past two years,
the unhagging zeal that actuated
them during the preceding fifteen
years. =
The Cadillac has been honored BY
being pronounced the greatest car
extant of any size or any price, at
home or abroad.
We accept the heavy responsibility
which this world leadership implies,
and pledge ourselves that we will
endeavor to the utmost to continue
to deserve it.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-10-02

We have never spoken az strongly
of the Cadillac as doe. this generous
English critic.
Respecting the patriotic pride Of
England, France and Italy in their
own splendid products, we have
never made invidious claims Of
Cadillac superiority.
But, as we have said before, the
group Of men whose life is bound up
in the betterment of the Cadillac,
would be less than human If they
did not experience a deep satisfac-
ton at such tributes from European
sources.
Surely, it is no slight thing for these
men to be told, or for Cadillac
owners to hear, that Americas great
car is also proclaimed the great car
Of the world!
We feel that there is no improperly
in publishing the facts, since Eng
land has 50 generously disclosed
them.
We feel that every man, woman and
child in the more than one hundred
thousand homes in which the Cadil-
lac is household institution, will
derive an added pride in their

Ashamed, he tears up the check

ther visits Fitzhugh in Jail and
makes arrangements for procuring
legal advice. His trial is speedily
completed and he is found insane
and committed to an asylum, from
which he easily makes his escape.
FitZhugh takes refuge in Chicago,
with Esther, who has become in
fatuated with him. His one idea is
to become rich and win Kathleen.
In a fight with Nikolay jealous ad-
mirer of Esther, Fftzhugh wOrsts
him. Securing menial employment
he learns that Nikolay has been
found dead in Esther's house, and
in a letter to him she admits the
killing, telling him she did it for
his sake and that she has gone
away. He sees Kathleen from a
distance, and is strengthened in
his determination to win her. Fitz-

These papers contained a mass of
data covering the past seven weeks,

from many different sources, newspa-

money to the last cent. He walked to
a heavy desk Of solid mahogany,

and spread the papers on the fiat top
Of the desk. And while Hunt sat OPP

point by point, dwelling fully on every
detail, explaining clearly the reasons
for his belief. SO lucidly did he do
this that child might have followed

CANS BETTER THAN BUCKETS
Most Convenient for Collecting Milk
at Barns and Conveying It to
the House.

Milk and cream from even a few
cows can be much more conveniently
handled In regular milk cans than in
the shallow pans and Wldc-mouthcd
buckets commonly used. Cans are con-
vcnient FOR collecting the milk mt the
barn and transferring it to the house.
These cans may be bought in varl-
Gus sizes. For handling cream and
sklmmilk where separators are used,
or even where cream Is set to sour for
buttcrmakIng, the shotgun cam Is
very convenient. It can be easily COW
