Band, Orchestra, Dancing.
The Keokuk Concert band was on
hand both in the afternoon and even
ing and gave a concert upon each oc-
casion, which was appreciated by the
picnickers Miss Oneita Rogers, OF
Shenandoah, vocalist, assisted the
band in the concerts and sang again
later in the evening with Agnes or
chestra. She has a very pleasing
voice, which was large enough to
sound well with the heavy band and
orchestra accompaniment, and her
numbers were quite popular with the
audience.
Agnes orchestra played unusually
good music for the dancing last night
in the pavilion, in which many peo-
pie participated, both young and old.
The quadrille with all hands around
was one Of the numbers, and many
of Keokuk's prominent people had
part in this dance, including the ex-
mayor and wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed S.

The guests made the trip to and

trucks and on the trains. There
were no accidents reported, and the
only unpleasant thing which hap
pened was the theft of two auto

ing last night.
It was a real celebration for the

families.
The picnic was under the general
direction of a joint committee from
the four lodges.

far from being ultra modern prob

Ancient Egypt fogged it's profiteers
in the market places, and medieval
England passed maximum wage laws,
according to communication by
Ralph A. Graves to the National Geo
graphic society, which says:
Following the devastation of the
Black Death in England in 134S-
1349, cultivation of the fields was
utterly impossible, and there were
not even enough able bodied labor
ers to gather the crops which I'D
matured. Cattle roamed through the
corn unmolested ard the harvest
rotted where it stood.
"Out of the situation which result
ed from the impoverishment of the
labor resources of the kingdom grew
the first great clash in England be-
tween capital and labor. The peas
ants became masters of the situation.
In some instances they demanded
double wages, and whereas formerly
landowners had paid one-twelfth of
every quarter of wheat as the har-
vesting wage. they were now forced
to pay one-eighth.

year prior to the first appearance of
the plague).
"Violations of the statute meant
Imprisonment; and it was further
provided that any reaper, mower or
workman leaving service should be
imprisoned. If workmen demanded
more than the regulation wage, they
were to be fined double, and the land
owner who paid more than the pre-
scribed sum was to be fined treble
that amount. Runaway laborers
were to be branded with an 'F' as
perpetual sign of their falsity. No
bail was to be accepted for any of
these labor offenses.
"The first ordinance in English his
