PREF ARE FOR LIVELY CONVENTION
TO END OF
THE ROAD
IAN Edito RIAL

The effort in Keokuk to make
the local industrial association
more powerful numerically
brings to mind the oft repeated
assertion that
Towns are made up of people
and the kind of people deter,
mines the kind of town.
There is a mistaken belief
that cities grow in population
and commercial prosperity be-
cause of their location on some
trade route or because of their
proximity to rich consuming
districts or some other thing
that has to do with external
considerations. But when we
come down to brass tack-
! The real reason for city
prosperity lies in the kind of
men and. women who make up
the city, who direct its enter
! prises and who back it with
their brains, their time and
their money.
The membership of the Keo-
kuk Industrial association is
made up Of men and women of
just this kind.
But there are many of like
disposition who are not on the
roll Of this worthy organiza-
ton.
They should be.
In union there is strength.

tardy ones are now being ''gone

OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
 HEAD NOISES

If you know of some one who is troubled with Catarrhal Deafness. head noises or or dinary catarrh cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for long time past have recog- nized that catarrh is a constitutional disease and necessarily requires constitutional treatment
 Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are liable to irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the middle ear which frequently means total deafness or else the disease may be driven down the air passages towards the lungs which is equally as dangerous. The following form ula which is used extensively in the damp English climate is a constitutional treat ment and should prove especially efficacious to sufferers here who live under more favor able climate conditions.
 Secure from your druggist 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength. Take this home and add to it i4 pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until diss solved. Take one tablespoonful fosr times a day. This will often bring quick relief from dis dressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open. breathing become easy and hearing improve as the inflammation in the custodian tubes is reduced. Parmint used in this way acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system and has a tonic action that helps to obtain the de- sired results. The preparation is easy to make costs little and is pleasant to take. Every person who has catarrh head noises or is hard of hearing should give this treatment trial.-Ady.

when to do it; what not to do ana when not to do it-these are the governing principles, and the younger men, the boys, are quite as eligible to flying as the older men. Of course, they are more daring, if they are allowed to be. but they qualify as excellent pilots after a short term of training.
 Culver I believe, has as fine a course as any place in America for an aviation school. Situated on Lake Maxinkukee, with a water course of 1,s00 acres, the start and finish and gliding over the lake waters, is accomplished easily, the flying course possessing a Vastness which IS seldom found anywhere.
 '"Fhe type of plane used at the avia- tion school at Culver is that which the navy has and continues to use in start ing men in flyng-the standard flying plane (CurtissJ No. 9, seaplane. With such splendid planes and such large surface from which to practice landing as Lake Maxinkuckee affords, which is in- deed the first thing to be accomplished in learning to fly, the safest way of learning is now made possible and all the former dread of aviation is dispensed with.
 When it is generally known through Englands experiment in comm ercial avi- ation that four and a half cents per pas seneer per mile is the cost of travel by aviation Oess, or at least no more than Pullman rates in this country, the very economic basis of this means of locomo- ton will make it's appeal and eventually take hold.
 At Culver we have had many splendid bows from Birmingham, and there is not one who has ever made anything but a fine record and a good impression. Among our most prominent pupils in the avia-

EXCESSIVE COSTS
Gatewood Makes Charges Against
 American Shipyards
By Associated Press

New York. December Exchanges of excessive and 'exorbitant" costs made by American shipyards for repairs to vessels owned by the United States shipping board and private firms were made lere today by Commander R. D. Gatewood, head of the boards repair and construction department
 Excessive cost of repairs, ranging as high as "25o per cent above the lis. price" Commander Gatewood said, were working a serious handicap to the successful competition of an Amer ican merchant marine with foreign vessels. He appealed for cooperation of the ship owners in efforts of his department to bring these prices down to "reasona ble" figures
 Commander Gatewood spoke at a luncheon of American ship owners, at which Frederick I. Thompson of Mo bile, recently appointed vice chairman of the shipping board, was a guest. MT. Thompson spoke in support of Com mander Gatewood's plan. and said he had the full support of the board and no information, direct, or indirect, is going to alter that position"
 Detailing some of the alleged ex- cessive costs, which he had investi- gated, Commander Gatewood said the present monthly bill of repairs on American ships amounted to about s6,5o0000 This amount, he said, was s2,Go0c00 in excess Of what 1t should
 be.

Mobile, Once "Wettest Spot On Earth,
 Becomes AnActual Thirsting Sahara;
 Moonshiner and BootLegger Whipped

Mobile, December 21-(Special.) )-Mo obile, once regarded as the wettest spot in the United States, ever since the advent of prohibition, is now regarded as the driest and this is vouched for by upstate cit izens who have returned to the Gulf City after several years absence with view of and believing that they could get all they wanted
 former well-known Montgomery newspaper man, who several years ago gave Mobile the credit for being the widest open dry city of the world, has a changed opinien now. He stated to- day that the reports prevailing in the upper portion of Here We Rest" are without the slightest foundat ton, and he is now speaking from personal eX- perience.
 The evaporation of Alabama's wet spot is due to the activity of Sheriff w. H. Holcombe, Jr., and his forces. who have shut off every avenue for shipping in prohibited liquors, consist ing of wines and whisky Mobiles liquor supply came mostly from the steamships, barges, and schooners oper- ating into this port from Cuba, Central

WOMEN VOTERS
 FEWER THAN MEN
 IN UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Ballots cast by women in the coming presi- dential election will fall short of the potential mems vote by over 2,500,- 1000, provided the suffrage amend ,ment is ratified and state registra tion laws are enacted in time to permit women all over the country to participate, according to esti- mates by the National Woman's party.
 With the 1910 census as basis, the Woman's party estimates the number of men eligible to vote at 29,577,69O, and the possible women voters at 26,S83,566. In 1916, how ever, the actual vote cast for all presidential candidates was 1S,52S,- 743, emitting ballots thrown out for cause, which leaves over 100000 possible voters unregistered. If as large a proportion of the men voters remain indifferent in the coming election, women political leaders here say that the eagerness of wom- en to exercise their newly acquired privilege may more than offset the disparity in numbers between the sexes.
 In five of the states, moreover, women of voting age outnumber the men. Massachusetts has the great est preponderance of women "vot- ers," with 5s,264 more women than men. North Carolina is next with a women's majorit yof 15,2SS, and South Carolina, with 10,307, is third. In Rhode Island, women of voting age outnumber the men by 3,196, and in Maryland by 1,292.

MANY REFUGEES
 WITHOUT FUNDS CROWD WARSAW

WARSAW.-Warsaw is humming with war activity and is crowded to it's very doors with hordes of pov- erty-stricken refugees from the areas for which the Poles and the Bolsheviki are fighting. Travellers say it is the most crowded city in Eastern Europe. The population is estimated to have increased from s8O, ,OOO to 1,3OO,OOO since the world war began.
 Everywhere there are officers and soldiers. Military automobiles, trac- tors and various other vehicles of Iwar traverse the streets all day and most of the night The cafe life is as bright and gay as ever, but the restaurants and theaters close at 10 p. m. to save food, light and labor. The refugees from the war-striSk ken areas began streaming into the city about a year ago, and have been coming ever since, hoping to find food and places to sleep. The prob lem of providing for them has baf- AeJ tho citv officiats
 In the poorer districts, base ments, which for generations were
 used for storage purposes, have
 been used for refugees sleeping
 quarters. In instances 15 to 20 per
 sons, and even more, sleep on q
 basement floor, on straw. Others
 have found shelter in stables or in
 buildings intended for schools. Many
 of these refugees are women with
 children, who have come out of the
 East virtually without funds. Dur ', ing the day these people are partly supplied with food by the munici pality or some of the welfare or Iganizations. Many exist only bS
 begging.

OPENING OF SIBERIA.

Persistent reports are coming from Britain and other countries of the prospective immediate understanding between the Russian and the Allied countries, says the Dawson News, whereby trade and other relations will be established. Should such arrangements be consummated soon, it may not be long until Siberia and the Northland of Alaska, Yukon and other portions of this continent find much in common. With sim liar resources and climate, and lying practically contiguous to each other, these countries may in time estab- fish connections which will be of great importance.
 For years promoters Of railway schemes for the connection of Flu ropean centers with the big centers
 
 of this continent have dreamed of a railway line running athwart the Yukon and Alaska and linking the two hemispheres by means of tun- mel or ferry at or near Bering straits. If those straits could be linked by rail, the lines radiating from that point practically would make it the keystone of the con tinents. The rails could be led eastward to any point in Asia, Africa or Europe, and westward to any point in North America and South America. Allowing, of course, for the southerly trend of the rail lines after leaving the straits, they might be expected logically to pass thru Yukon, via Dawson, thus putting this city on the world belt-line. Delobel and other promoters had details of this project planned years ago. It may yet be realized.
 At the same time, aerial, radio and similar routes might be expect ed along the same course.
 It does not require much insagina ton to picture all the development which might be expected to follow in the wake of such a worid-girdling trunk-line of communication. The throwing open of Russia and Si- beria to friendly relations with the rest of the world will revive much speculation on these old projects. Dawson, after all, is not far from Siberia. It is but the matter of a few days journey down the Yukon river and across Boring sea to Si- beria in summer.
 Siberia is another Canada in area and natural resources. These two great Northlands may be counted on in time to sustain a great share of the worlds population and to bring vast wealth to their inhab- itants. The province of Vologda, in Northern Russia, lying as far north as the territory between Daw- son and Whitehorse, long has sus- tained a population of 1,50O,O0O people. Greater development may even come to this region. Canada and Siberia have the same hardy climate and similar physical prob lems to meet. Watch them grow.
