Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Helm have gone to Phoenix, Arisona, where they will spend the winter with their son, George. Mrs. H. A.

Mrs. Tracy hits been very ill for several weeks, but is on the road to recovery now. Every dayT'the question is asked: "Why can't ire have a decent boule vard to Hamilton?" and fecho answers "Yes, why can't wet" It is net a dif ficult proposition, nor an expensive one, but as the auctioneer said "some body start er.',' Whom will it be. The M. A. or Qt6 Industrial committee? It looks as lfWarsaW was waiting for a Civic league to be formed, for when the ladies undertake an Improvement they finish it and quickly too. The Trl-cities—Keokuk, Warsaw and Hamilton—have mutual Interests, the same power rates are given "to each, and all want and expect to get fac tories. All arp power sone cities. They should be linked together by the best electric railway service, and also by a first-class auto soad in good condition, all the year round, thus vir tually making them one big city. Hamilton is enthusiastic for this road and will do more than her share and she will receive as much benefit from it as will Warsaw. For years hardly a dollar has been spent on this road between the two oitios except what Hamilton haa put on the north end of the road. Fine working days are swiftly flying and winter will soon be on us and nothing done. State aid for roads may De secured, county aid could be demanded, and perhaps the power company might be induced to aid under certain condi tions. It is worth trying for and it won't cost much. Now don't let the Warsaw Civic league beat us in se curing this much needed Improve ment. In Tuesday's Chicago papers, In a Washington dispatch, the government recommends locating arsenals and am munition factories at points along the Mississippi one of them at Rook Is land—this la the same as was recom mended by Govern op Dunnne recent ly. The question naturally arises, why could not one of these arsenals or factories be located on the bluffs and flats between Warsaw and Hamil ton? There are beautiful sites, many of them, and their nearness to the great water power would make tliem superior to any other sites between here and St. Paul or between here and St. Louis. Congressman C. H. Taven-i ner would cheerfully present our claims, when the question of western arsenals is brought before congress, an has been today suggested. Be sides, Congressman Tavenner Is a well known and enthusiastic advocate of the government owning all arms and ammunition factories. Now this is no pipe dream, this mention of our nearby sites stranger things than this haive happened and become facts, and It would be well tp remember it. Dr. Bruce L.

Nov. 18, at the home The Warsaw Gate City Warsaw, IIL, Nov. 10, 1915. and 3 of the Mississippi River .Im provement association, will be one of great interest to river towns and cities, as a model of one of the self- propelled barges will bd shown, and much interesting inforndation given as to the barge line to be started in the spring and also the proposed term inals, many of which have already been Installed In upper river cities, notably Davenport and LaCrosse. Warsaw has neglected and Ignored her opportunity to become a member of this association and she will regret It In the future, when she might be among the first of the small cities to avail herself of terminal benefits the annual dues were small compared to the benefits. Warsaw's crack band has received six new members, all fine young men, steady and with staying qualities four will play clarinets this addition raises the membership to 23. Would not a Civic league composed of the women of the city be a power for its moral and physical welfare, Insuring a clean city, a better city In every way, and a beautiful city? Judging by the success of such leagues in the west, they would stir up the stagnation that exists here—though business In Warsaw is better than in most towns of its size, so traveling men say—take hold of the Improve ment propositions and complete them, and make Warsaw citizens "sit up and take notice." and would show them "how to keep house." Let's have a Warsaw Civic league, we have the material to make It a grand succoss. Our women vote now and are thus more than our equals, and as they have used the franchise more intel ligently than the average male voter, we can safely trust the best welfare of the city in their keeping. The city needs a scouring in many ways and the Civic league will accomplish it as QO other organization can let's help them start the ball rolling. A western lady is in the city visit ing, who is an active member of a Civic league at her home and la thoroughly Informed as to Its worlt and the success attained she will be more than glad to assist Warsaw la dies in organizing such a league. We are most fortunate in having her with us.
