Herbert Hoover in a war editorial
that has attracted much attention has
cautioned the American people against
becoming too serious this winter.
He says, "We need more than ever
the relaxation of the draina and music
and should not let the good play or
the good concert suffer."
Believing th|#s to be true the Monday
Music club, though beginning its ac
tivities a trifle later than usual has
made plans for its eighteenth season,
which will afford its many members
more diverse and interesting programs
than ever before.
Last year tbe high water mark in
membership was attained, the club
numbering five hundred and twenty
four. This year it is hoped to reach
many more. There will be fifteen
programs given in the T. W. C. A.
auditorium which are open to all mem
bers. This will include a piano re
cital by Pasquale Tallarico and a Joint
recital given by Sala, the noted cel
list and Gertrude Hale, dramatic so
prano of New York. Other artist
guests will appear on the program
from time to time.
A very interesting departure and
one which it is hoped will prove popu
lar, will be the prefacing of all club
programs with a "community sing."
An efficient leader will be provided

THE DAILY GATE CITI? .'?
Show Patriotism
Attention of the mer
chants of Keokuk is called
to the Liberty Loan posters
which were distributed this
morning. These posters were
not distributed just for the
purpose of giving a few Boy
Bcouts some exercise, but
were given to the local mer
chants with the request that
as a matter of practical pa
triotism they display these
posters in their store win
dows. The government is
asking the merchants to do
this far Uncle Sam. It really
doesn't matter if the color
scheme of the posters does
not match the color of the
window decorations, patriot
ism should dictate that these
posters should go in the
most prominent place in the
window. To those merchants
who are oo-operating and are
exhibiting these posters, the
local Liberty Loan commit
tee expresses its apprecia
tion.

"Look at It either from a military,

as to inspire us with confidence In
the final result," said Redfleld.
"We were not ready for war in a
modern sense, but now our ships and
soldiers are on the other side. More
than a million men are in our camps,
"We have poured out our billions.

which it has."
