A Thanksgiving-Appreciation sale will be held by the merchants of Keo kuk 011 the Saturday before Thanks giving day, November 20. This was the decision arrived at last night at the Montrose meeting. The sale will he in appreciation of the trade which the Keokuk merchants have received during the year. To show this appre ciation the merchants are going to offnr real bargains in every line. The name Thanksgiving sale was sueeested by Louis Klein. The re port of the committee appointed to lock into a special sales day had been made by Chairman T. N. Conner of th!s commitee. Mr. Conner said that the committee was not sure that a jlt pev dav sale would be a good th}ng rlrics Jitney was a slang word, and he fcprnjj that it might not carry suffi cient disnlty. Others present wanted tn ret au-qv from the word bargain. pM Mr. Klein's idea was accepted with a "jump." Conditions Improve Here. In his report Mr. Conner said that he believed Keokuk was showing an Imnrovement in general conditions, s'noe September 1.

Sam Younker wanted one special time for opening the windows. Mr. Chapman did not think that this could be done, owing to the fact that restaurants were in the contest and that several stores with perishable goods could not be expected to wait until evening. The final session on rules will be held by the committee today. About High 8ohool Fair. John Rovane, Jr., reported in the matter ofr the league's assistance in helping to secare musical instruments for the school band which is being formed. Mr. Rovane said that Pro fessor Hayden had an idea of holding a fair or something similar on Thanks glvng afternoon and evening and the two succeeding days. The merchants would be asked to contribute in some manner, either by building booths, or donating articles to be sold, or some thing of the sort. The general senti ment of the merchants seemed to be that they would have their hands full with window decorating and with the Thanksgiving sale, and could not take on the additional burdens of any ac tual work. Mr. Rovane said that Professor Hay Uen had no definite scheme along this tfne, and it was suggested by J. N. Dumenil that a pure food show could be staged with no trouble to the mer chants. as the manufacturers wonldi be glad to secure space for this. One of the merchants thought that a dona tion of money could be given by the league. It was finally decided to let the committee of which Mr. Rovane Is a member, work out whatever scheme seems best, and the league will indorse the idea. Civic League's Thanks. A letter was read from Mrs. Helen Allen Ayres. president of the Civic league, thanking the retailers for their co-operation in the garden contest. The retailers gave the prizes amount ing to J34.
