FINDS CORN IN COUNTY
IN BEST OF CONDITION

Il never saw the general prospects
for corn in Rock Island county better
at this time of the year than they are
now" said T. p. Latin today. Mr..
Latin has just completed a tour of
all the townships in the county in
connection with the collection of sta
tistics for his annual report as game
warden. Il have seen corn bigger and
more even lots of times but ! remem-
Der that the tallest corn that l ever
saw on the Fourth of july turned out
the poorest when il was husked-
There are thousands of acres in this
county waist high right now and
there is very little that is far enough
behind to be in danger of being
caught by frost. 1t is all a good
healthy green color.
"Other crops are looking well, too.
Oats are better than the average The
only trouble with them anywhere is
that in places they are a trifie short
There will be a good yield or hay"

ISSUED 1,742 HUNTERS
LICENSES IN PAST YEAR

Game Warden T P. Latin has just
completed Il report to the state game
commissioner of the number of hunt
ing licenses issued in this county for
the year ending June 1. when the old
licenses expired and the sale of new
ones was begun. He finds that a total
of LAP licenses were issued. Thus
it will be seen that Rock Island coun-
ty paid in more than its share of the
$4,000 that was collected in the
state. The number of licenses issued

The most sensational feature any
American magazine has captured In
years is Thomss W. Lawson's
"Frenzied Finance, the Story Of
Amslgsmatod Copper, which begins
in the July issue of Everybody's
Magazine. Mr.. Laws on was one of
the organizers of the gigantic corpor-
alton, and he knows exactly what
happened TO the millions that were
lost through its manipulation. Hif
first article is an announcement OF
distinctly dramatic interest and prom
ises revelations OF the highest impor-
lance to.everyoue In the country. He
frankly states that his purpose in tell
ing the story is to set himself right
with the thousands OF investors who,
through his instrumentslity put their
money into Amalgamsted and have
been plundered; also because his con
viction is that the best way TO educate
the public to realize the evils of which
such affairs as Amalagated are the re-
suit, is to expose the brutal facts re.
garding the conception, birth and
breeding of what he says is the worst
offspring Of the modern system OF
finance. The main narrative will deal
with the real heads of Standard Oil
and Amalgsmsted II. II. Rogers and
William Rockefeller and James Still
man OF the National City bank. Ad-
dicks OF Delaware, Heinze of Mon
tsna, and James II. Keene OF Wall
street, will figure among its chief
characters, and we are promised such
a showing up of financial PERSONAL
ties and methods as this country has
not yet had, despite the disclosures
of the recent ship building trust ex-
pose.

pUsTLEss STREETS.

A great many things are being used
nowadays In an effort to improve oui
roadways, and the French claim that
coal tar Is much more effective in pre-.
venting dust than oil.
According to the Indian Textile
Journal the engineer for the Seine
and Marine departments reports that,
after an unsuccessful trial Of q mix.
ture of Oil and petroleum,s coating of
tar was in the summer Of 1902 laid
down on seven different lengths of
road. After carefully observing these
during Q period of twelve months. he
declares that dust and mud have
wholly disappeared and the cost of
maintenance of the roads has been
considerably reduced.
Comparing the previous expense of
the roads with that of those thus
tarred. he says:
ut appears that il may be assumed
that the tarring method requires no
greater outlay, and at the time very
considerably improves the condition
Of the roadway.
I'm LaCher two lengths of the
Chausse National were coated with
tar in June and August Of 1909. Both
these experiments have been entirely
successful, the road now being COW
cred with an elastic skin, while the
sound Of foot-pAssengers' tread is
mpffied and horses and draft oxen re.
quire only one half the effort they put
forth before. The noise and vibration
caused by vehicular traffic is much re-
duced, and neither dust nor mud is
formed on the tarred surface"
Coal tar was talked of In Psducah
sometime ago, but like many other
things tending towards improvement,
nothing else was ever heard of it.

that the spears of the Samal Moros
are not hurled over the bamboo fence
