TO MEET ON AUGUST 20 Property Which Directors Are After is Lot 4 in Chatham Square on Fulton Street, Near Sixth. Steps have been taken to condemn lot four in Chatham Square by the school board, pursuant to the resoli* tion passed at the meeting a montli ago. Superintendent E. C. Lynn ot Lee county, was here yesterday, ap pointed the appraisers and named the date on which the appraisal is to be made, and had the necessary notices served. The appraisers appointed by Super intendent Lynn are John Nagel, Captain T. F. Baldwin, and H. R. Col lisson. These men were named after Superintendent Lynn, who came down from Donnellson, yesterday, had re ceived the application of the school board in the matter. Superintendent Lynn ordered the appraisers to meet on August 20, Thursday, and to appraise the prop erty then. The necessary legal no tices were made to George and Julia Wentzell, owners of the property and put in the hands of Sheriff Crimmins to serve. The property wliich the board is 'en deavoring to secure is the fourth lot on Fulton street from the corner of Sixth street. It adjoins the three lots which were purchased for the site for the new Gariield school. In order to give the new building sufficient room it was decided to buy the fourth lot. The board however, was not able to make any deal with the owners of the lot in the matter. They offered a price which was rejected by the own ers.. The price was $3,500. If the board do not secure this lot it would mean the building of retaining walls, and perhaps there would be friction between the directors and the prop erty owners.. For this reason the board authoriz ed the commencement of condemna tion proceedings. Must Get New Referees. When Sheriff Crimmins came to serve notices on John Nagel and H. R. Collisson he found that these two men were out of the city and would be absent for some time. Consequently, other appointments must be made. Superintendent Lynn was notified at once and will come to Keokuk on Mon day to name the two members of the board to serve in place of Mr. Nagel and Mr. Collisson. Illinois Teachers.

HAVE REAPED BENEFIT City Profits by Improvements Which Have Been Made, Signed Com munication in "Press" Declares. The executive committee of the Hamilton Business club has seen (it to answer the erroneous statements which have been made recently rela tive to power rates and navigation and various other matters pertaining to tae building of the hydro-electric plant at this point. Under the caption, "A Statement, in Refutation of Misleading Stories Which Have Been Circulated," the following appears in Friday's Hamil ton Press: The repeated and misleading state ments made on the floor of congress as to power rates and other benefits now obtainable at this point, by reas on of the building of the Keokuk and Hamilton dam, are proving so detri mental to the industrial development which this city expects to receive, the business club of this city, by its exe cutive committee gives to the public the following statement of facts: Hamilton, Illinois, Aug. 3, 1914. We, the executive committee of the Hamilton Business club, in view ot certain erroneous and misleading statements which are being made rela tive to power rates, navigation and other matters pertaining to the build ing of the hydro-electric power plant in the Mississippi river between Ham ilton, Illinois, and Keokuk, Iowa, and the operation of same by the Missis sippi River Power company, and feel ing these statements to be unjust and very harmful to the business interests of our city, we wish to make the fol lowing statements: Reduction In Rates. That the operation of the Missis sippi power plant has effected a mater ial reduction in all our power rates, and given us an1* increased' eiBciency in service. That Hamilton has a river frontage extending one and one-half miles be low the dam,, and one-half mile above the same. That below the dam the flow of the Mississippi river remains as formerly. That above the dam the city lias one-half mile of deep water frontage, providing abundant docking facilities. That the forming of this deep water pool has given our city good boating access to a shore line of 'eighty miles on the two sides of the river above the dam. Has Been Business Like. That In matters pertaining to the building of the dam, the power com pany lias been business like- and just with our city, placing everything that required changing, in better condition than before, and adding many entirely new facilities for improvement. That we are receiving from the Mis sissippi River Power company a hearty assistance in our industrial work. That the power rates now in effect are favorable to the large industrial development we have anticipated, and justify the efTorts of our organization to that end. We stand ready to verify all of the above statements. KARL W. WOOD, JAMK^ P. GUTHRIE, KO.MER O. WILLTAMd, o. c. MCCARTNEY, H. E. RAYBURN, WARREN H. ORR, C. P. DADANT. \V. H. HARKRADER, J. A.

Hamilton, III., August 9 *t Industrial Association Bulletin No. 54 No one ever heard a man complain at falling heir to a big fortune, a big business or a big op portunity. The heir, with a glorious elation has invariably started out to make good. He expects to make a few blind efforts at lirst until he gets his bearings. Then he makes his efforts count with wonderful effect. If he doesn't even try, or if he gets completely discouraged because he can't make things go from the start he is lost. The same thing is true of a city. It is true of Keokuk. This city has fallen heir to a won derful opportunity through the development of modern engineering science. We ve felt the elation and we have received the merited public ity. Now we are expected to work out our own salvation and our own success. We can't expect the world to bring success to us on a silver plater. It is better to fight for success and lose than never to fight at all. Besides, a man or a city, with an opportunity for success who does not fight can not have even a hope of a chance to win. The guests present wore: Mr. and Mrs. Robert iggott and family ot| Butler, Mo., and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ayers and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kiser of Wythe.

Hamilton played air-tight ball from start to finish. Ham ilton goes to Wayland Sunday, where they cross bats for the third time, Hamilton having won two from Way land this year so far, and this game ought to be a good one, as our boys are in good condition.
