FORT MADISON
WINS 6 TO o
Burlington Defeated Saturday When
Harper Goes Over For Single
Touchdown of Game in
Second Half

Burlington Hawk-Eye: On a soggy
and slippery field the Fort Madison
high school football team defeated
Burlington Saturday by score of s
to 0. Both teams We're fairly wen
matched, and while the Burlington
team was slightly the heavier. Fort
Madison made Up in experience what
il lacked in weight
Straw was scattered over the field
to fill up the soft spots, but the
heavy, slippery clay slowed UP the
play and barred any feature playing.
Fort Madison, however, worked sew
eral pretty passes for good gains. The
playing Of the Burlington team was
much better than in last Saturdays
game. but twice in the second quar-
ter the team lacked the necessary
punch to carry the ball one yard to
touchdown.
In the first half the game went
'Burlington's way and the ball was in
Fort Madisons territory nearly all
the time, but with the advent of
Harper, the colored halfback, things
became brighter for the crimson and
black boys from Fort Madison until.
IN the last quarter, the ball was car
r1ed over for a touchdown. This lone
score proved enough to defeat Bur
llngton, all the home teams efforts
/ 10 score proving futile.

kahoka History
BY Jasper BIines.

Our county historical society, the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, and other organizations are
preparing to present historical data
in their respective lines and mis-
sions for the one hundred years Of
Missouri as a state Of the federal
union in 1921.
There is vast amount Of impor-
Itant history to be collected and pre-
served in our county, and it Is
patriotic duty for our societies to
present a good array for permanent
preservation History is the very
base and foundation Of all human
affairs. Let's do our duty.
The society known as the Ameri-
can Legion held special meeting in
the Eagle hall, Wednesday evening,
and business of the society were
talked upon. The chief concern of
the Legion just now is to raise sub
scriptions enough to secure owner
ship of the large brick edifice in the
north part of town, this to be head
quarters of the society and halls set
apart for other organizations. The
property has been neglected for some
years, and It is too valuable to be
idle. Campaigns for securing the
needed amount will proceed as the
enterprise is Of vast importance to
the entire people.
Owing to difficulty in having proper
help, the Gazette-Herald has been
embarrassed for some weeks. and
the paper is issued from the publ
cation Office Of the Courier.
Clark county is becoming :1oted as
a field where the industry of sorghum
syrup is largely produced. Many
esta blishments are now at work pro-
ducing the syrup. The plant is an
import of Chinese economy, and was
into the counties of north
east Missouri along about the date
of 1855. Prices Of the few seed dis
tributed to the farmers n the early
of the industry here we're very
costly.
Kahoka is favored with political
speakers of high rank. Senator Spen-
GERS address is held in high esteem
as an Instructive speech of fair
showing to all parties. The presence
of Republican Candidate Hyde, On
Friday evening, was forceful and
helpful The republicans are in high
as to their success in the
state and national elections,
and the political sentiment II the

BOATS Do NOT
NEED BOOZE
This is the Conclusion That River
Men Have Drawn From the Sue
cessfuI Season That Has
Just Closed.

/ Advocates of the necessity of booze
aboard the excursion steamers plying
between Fort Madison, Keokuk and
other river cities during the summer
season in order to make the excursion
business success received a severe
jolt to their pet theory Of "hooch''
necessity when the close of the 1920
excursion season showed the biggest
returns of any season on the river,
a writer in the Fort Madison Demo
crat has found.
You can't do successful excursion
business without booze on board your
boat
This was the pet theory of many a
Mississippi river steamboat captain
when sale of liquor was banned on
boats plying their trade in govern
ment waters. Any one of them would
have wagered every cent he had on
the truth of this assertion.
The season of 1920, however, ban
ished all doubts as to the possibilities
of conducting excursions minus the
tabooed alcoholic beverages.
Excursion business, as the records
of the various steamboat lines will
show, was better this year than for a
number of years previous, the crowds
were never SO orderly and easily
handled, AMI there were fewer changes
in the personnel of the crews.
In former seasons, the day that went
by without fight or two among the
members of the crew, was rare. "The
morning after" always found peevish
uuarrelsome crew. Fights among
passengers occurred frequently.
One river pilot of the old school
remarks
Il never did expect to see the day
when they did not sell booze on the
boats. / have had busy summer
and did not see one drunken passenger
on my boat all season. l was told
that a few men had been seen on the
boat with booze, but l did not see
any of them.
What surprises me most this year
was the increased business whseh our
excursion steamers enjoyed. People
seemed to take more joy than ever in
their outings They also spend more
money on the boats. 1t was won
derful year, and proved that people
enjoy. rides more when the crowds
are orderly. We seemed to have a
better class Of patronage this year.
Personally I am pleased with new
conditions

If you had rheumatism last year
and treated only the pains of the
disease by rubbing with liniments
and lotions, you can be sure that
soon again you will be in the shack

feet financially, and that within
reasonable time they will show salts

He pointed out that what the rail
roads are recovering from is not the
period of government control, but from
war. On account of lack of labor
and lack of materials, the railroads
