HOME SERVICE

lis offering the services Of it's institu-
tons to every community, In twenty
five counties of Iowa Salvation Army
advisory boards have already been
organized and are actively co-operat-
ing with the army in home service
work.
The home service program for 1920
affords the use and activity of sixteen
phases of Salvation Army work.
These activities include such institu-
lions as the missing friend bureau,
the antisuicide bureau, the maternity
homes, workingmen's hotels, the in
dustrial homes, the girls boarding
homes and the like. In addition to
these the army maintains an emerg-

20" TRAINS
MAY BE RESUMED
Burlington Routes Nos. and 10 VIII
Be in Operation by May 80 is
the Belief in Burling-
ton Circles.

Keokuk people who have occasion
to go to Chicago and Denver will be
interested in the announcement from
Burlington that it is more than prob
able that trains Nos. / and 10 will
be resumed. These are the fast trains
from Chicago to Denver and from
Denver east. ~
The Burlington Hawk-Eye says:
Burlington fast trains No. l and
No. TO- running from Chicago to
Denver and Denver to Chicago will
be restored to serve May 80, railroad
men say.
Officials in the union station believe
that when ]. J. Teeter, division pas
senger agent for the 20" returns to-
day from conference held Tuesday,
with Burlington officials, he will an
nounce the new running time of Bur
lington's favored trains.
A special meeting Of the Burling-
ton officials in Chicago debated the
new schedule that will be announced
soon and that will take effect May
80. Office men in union station are
certain that No. / and No. 10 will
appear on the new time card.
Removed during the war, Burlins-
cellent train service, but periodically
suffered the change. Now that no
war emergency justifies the annul-
ment of this service every citizen Ct
is eager to see the trains
restored. Repeated efforts to bring
back the trains have been made and
the assurance that the train will be
restored pleases every one.
Operating on the old pre-war time
train No. 1, Chicago to Denver,
would arrive in Burlington at 1890
each evening Train No. 10, Denver
to Chicago. would reach Burlington
at $40 each morning.
Aside from the great convenience
afforded by two fast and luxuriously
appointed trains the mail service
by the trains interested
business men greatly.
The train crews change In Burffng-
ton and with the trains restored sew
aral families will return to Burling-
on and housing the engines in the
.ound house will necessitate the en-
,loynent of additional help to care
ior them.

IN MEMORIAM

In memory OF my dear son. and
brother, Earl Marlin, who departed
this life February IL, 1920:
Sad and sudden was the call
For our dear son and brother, loved
by all,
And our lonely hearts are weeping.
No more his presence can we call.
Oh, God, keep green the grave that
lies
Beneath the wide and starry skies;
And give to him sweet sleep and rest.
Thy hands are folded on thy breast;
Sleep on, dear one, thy work is DER,
Thy willing hands will toll no more.
Yet we know you are happy
In the mansion of the blest,
Where there is no pain or sorrow,
In the sweet, eternal rest.
Sadly missed by his mother, Mrs.
Fred Geiser, and brothers, Carl and
Joseph Marlin.
