The picnic which was given yester.
day at Bluff Park under the auspices
of Keokuk post, No. Al, the American

local post There was such a small
audience present that Commander w.

side of the races and the dancing.
DR.. Brown said this morning that
Keokuk people did not support the
soldiers in this effort, and that, so
far as he knew, this was the first
town to turn down anything that the
soldiers were trying to do. The pro-
ceeds from the picnic were to be used
for fund for buying permanent
home for the soldiers. AS it was, the
legion lost money on the venture.
This failure to support the sol.
diers Of Keokuk must be reported to
the American Legion Weekly, a
magazine with circulation of two

this morning. without doubt, this
is the only place where the commu-
nifty has allowed the soldiers to lose
money on venture to create fund
for the purchase Of a permanent
home.
The crowd was so small that re
fused to allow the speakers to talk
to such an audience"
With thousands of people to draw
from in this vicinity, it was expected
by the legion that considerable
money would be made towards the
fund for home. AS it was, the
crowd was so small that it took no
effort to count it and the post has
lost considerable money.
The fact that there were attrac-
tons at Burlington and at Carthage
no doubt accounts for the small num-

The loss of over 500 has been
made good by the soldiers them

FRECKIE-FACE

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily
Here's a chance, Miss Freckl,s-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of reliable concern that
it will not cost you a penny unless
it removes the freckles; while if it
does give you clear complexion the
expense is -trffing.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
YOU how easy it is to rid yourself Of
the homely freckles and get beau
tiful complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if It fails to remove
freckles
