Article Hints That State Officers Are
to be Maintained Here for

Duty.
That the seizure of the motor truck
load of liquor yesterday at Keokuk is
only a step in the campaign which At
torney General Cosson is waging or
preparing to wage in Keokuk, is re
vealed by the Des Moines Register
this morning in an article captioned
"On Trail of Booze Agents at Keo
kuk." The story contains the start
ling in formation that Cosson is gath
ering evidence against officials, and
also that he is contemplating sta
tioning men here for police duty.
Here is the article which the Reg
ister publishes
The state department of Justice Is
again on the trail of violators of the
liquor laws and local officials who
permit laws to be violated, at Keokuk.
It became known yesterday that At
torney General Cosson has special
agents working in Keokuk, getting
evidence which may be the basis of
some ouster suits which may be filed
against certain officers of that city.
Last night Henry W. Ten-ill, one of
the state agents Beized a wagon load
of liquor which was being taken
across the river 'from Illinois Into
Iowa over the bridge at Keokuk. Most
of the liquor contained no labels and
was not consigned to anyone. Tnls
is a serious violation of the federal
law which requires all liquor passing
over a state line to be consigned to
some person.
After Temp Bar Men.
The special agents a short time ago
secured evidence against more than
a dozen operators of temp bars at
Keokuk and injunction suits were
brought, charging illegal sales of
booze. The bar operators decided
not to light the state and entered into
an agreement that permaennt injunc
tions should be issued against them
on November 20, when the district
court meets.

CORNELIA MEIGS' NEW BOOK
[By Frederic C. Smith.l
A fascinating and intensely human
story of colonial and revolutionary
Massachusetts Is found in Miss Cor
nelia Meigs' newest book, "Master
Simon's Garden." An old English gar
den transplanted to the "edge of the
world," as Miss Meigs chooses to style
me early English colony, is the back
ground for the pictures drawn by the
author with skill and clever portrayal
of life, throughout the story. The
characters are human, they talk and
act as such. There is nothing goody
good about them, but they are whole
some folks and the reader is drawn
to them. The situations in the story
are clever and not a bit overdrawn.
History is followed sufficiently to give
the proper historical atmosphere but
without the least semblance of any
thing to a history lesson creeping in.
The story is one which should be pop
ular with young people and older ones
as well, and It is so fascinatingly writ
ten, so cleverly constructed, so full of
human characters who are carried into
and through such probable situations,
that it is hard to pu£ the book down
once you have started the story.
The organization is perfect the cli
maxes are definitely marked and prop
er preparation made for their de
nouncement. The author leads up in
clever fashion to her situations with
out exposing the point until the proper

—have you felt
it? With the advancing
price of wheat'
'the five-cent
loaf is doomed," say the
bakers. In its place we
have the six-cent loaf—in
many cities only the ten
cent loaf. A loaf of white
flour bread is not a complete
ration. However whole
some and pure, it does not
supply all the proteids the
human body needs. In

learned. It is said, that the Keokuk
violators did not cease operating. It
is claimed that they continued to vio
late the law and are still selling li
llquor Illegally.
The special agents were sent back
to Keokuk for a second investigation
which now is in progress. This time,
it Is said, the local officials of Keo
kuk are being investigated more par
ticularly than the bootleggers. It is
charged that some of the officials
have permitted the law violations to
go on and that instead of trying to
check violations they have encour
aged them.
Pay Saloon Licenses.
Keokuk was one of two Iowa cities
which licensed the temp bars. Keo
kuk charged these bar operators $75
a month for permission to run. This
amounted to $900 a year, practically
the same license as charged saloons
In several cities before the mulct
law was repealed. The dry forces
charge that some of the Keokuk offi
cials knew that the purpose of the
temp bars was to sell real booze.
The attorney general found condi
tions in Keokuk so bad, it is said,
that unless conditions materially im
prove the department of Justice will
keep men in that city for regular po
lice duty.
In the seizure of the wagon load of
booze coming across the Keokuk
bridge last night, the state officials
believe they have located the means
by which the booze was imported into
Keokuk for illegal sale. Under the
federal act, it Is said that not only
the driver of the wagon, but the per
sons on the Illinois aide who shipped
the liquor can be prosecuted.
"Master Simon's Garden" Is Its title and it ls a Most Fascinating
and Cleverly Constructed 8tory of Early Days In America
moment, thereby whetting the reader's
appetite for more, while at the same
time perfectly satisfying him with
what she has already set before him.
The chapters unfold a tale which holds
one's interest, and if forced to lay
aside the story one does it grudgingly.
The mechanics of the book are with
out a flaw the chapters Join perfect
ly without any Jolting or hesitation,
and the whole story dovetails together
in harmony. In fact there is not an
adverse criticism that could be offered
to th© book.
Simon Radpath, a Puritan, has come
to Massachusetts and at the "edge of
the world" he has constructed his
house and around it planted his gar
den. It is a beautiful old garden, ir
we may believe the word picture
drawn by Miss Meigs. The narrow
ness of the Puritan is shown in his
neighbors remonstrating with him re
garding a splotch of color given the
garden by the tulips, and there is a
peacock which struts about, much to
the horror of the narrow minded mem
bers. Master Simon, however, con
vinces them of their narrowness and
preaches against the Gospel of Fear.
He helps the Indians fight one of their
plagues with herbs from the garden,
thereby winning the gratitude and pro
tection of the tribe. He befriends a
Catholic priest, a fact which evpn his
nemesis, Samuel Skerry, the villain of
the story does not reveal. The love
of Marneret Radpath and Roger Berd
well furnishes the theme for a dainty
little love story and their marriage
and the fact that the garden is being
coaxed into full bloom for the day,
gives opportunity for Samuel Skerry
to attempt to destroy it by boiling hot
salt water, only to be frustrated in his
cruel plan by the gossip of the village,
who thus atones for whatever damage
her loose tongue may have otherwise
inflicted.
