HEAD RIDES THE GOAT.
How Rock Islander Jared at Initiation Ceremony
Of the PlOwshare Club

that has made Rock Island famous
around the world.
But being as l am in a sort of
hurry to Get out and see if 1 can't
spike some other guns with red, white
and blue pillow points, L would ask of
you two things as favor One Is this;
Please tell me where Charlie Deere
sits in this hall. The other is:Please
let a few extra revolutions into the
hywheel of the initiating machine, so
l can get out of here on time. only
hit the most elevated spots in the
world, You know. and by cutting off
few seconds here and there. en- route,
1 can get to stay eight minutes in
town sometimes, whereas II L don't
clip the corners, l could only stay
seven and one-half."
The club has a speed record itself
and it had Mr.. Head tied down, roast
ed, butted by the twO-headed goat,
chased by the clubs FilipinOs, dOused
into the gasoline barrel, and had
walked him barefoot over row of
broken glass bottles in two minutes
and thirty-six seconds. When he was
done to a turn, he was released, and
invited to address the chair.
81 thank you, gentlemen. for your
CELEBRITY" said he. 1T reminds me of
the way we stamp listers into shape
at my factory. l must say, however,
that l had no idea that this club could
annihilate the footsteps of father
time with the speed that has been
displayed in my case. 1t appears that
you can go so fast that you have time
to get good sleep between the dots
and dashes that pass over the wires in
our telegraphic code.
I'm conclusion l wish to say. fell
low hustlers. that you must come up
to Rock Island. If any of you need
upsetting, rewinding or regrinding, l
will have you attended to by the big
bulldozer that we have on the ground
floor of the red. white and blue fac
tory"
Hes a good Indian, he is" said the
members, as the door closed on Mr..
Head and the committee which es-
corted him back to his hotel. We'll
go up and help him make a few extra
big plows for next falls breaking for
wheat"
The meeting was then melted and
poured into Il large earthen jar, the
top of which was afterwards sealed
with melted tallow (this will keep it
from fermenting before next Satur-
day night.) The members then strap
ped on their skates and slid home over
the icy pavements.

A WORD ABOUT
GOLD-MOULDED
RECORDS ~ "

Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
were the first moulded records on the
market By about a year.
They always have been GoId-mould-
ed. a gold mould is the only economic
cal and efficient mould known to the
art.
Moulded records are superior II the
old engraved records because they
may be made of harder my .erial.
Hard records last longer and/nave
better quality of tone.
a gold-mouIded record MADE of soft
material would be no better n quality
than an engraved record in soft ma
terial.
The best moulded records are not
only GoId-moulded. They are super
hardened.
Gold-moulded records are less eX-
pensive than engraved records. The
process is simpler.
Formerly, blank cylinders were
moulded, then shaved, then engraved
from an original. The originals soon
wore out under the reproducing
stylus.
Now, a gold-lined mould is made
from the original. and the product Of
that mould is a smoothly finished cyl
inder, with the sound record already
on it. The life Of the original is in
creased 10 times, a hundred times, n
"A thousand times.
n record is not more expensive be-
cause il is gold-moulded.
II is less expensive.
Columbia Moulded Cylinder Records
are new records, made by a new pro-
cess. They are not only gold-mOulded.
They are supeF-hardened.
Irrespective of price, they are SUI
perior in quality to any other gold
moulded record on the market, and
they sell for only % cents.
We have just received large ship
ment Of these improved records, max
ing our stock a very complete one.
Call at our warerOoms and investi-
gate. We are, and have always been,
sole agents for Columbia goods in
Rock Island. We handle a complete
line of both disc and cylinder ma
chimes. Prices, s. to S65.
