Rcck Island High School Pupils
Pass on Mayor as
Ideal.
THE NEGATIVE SIDE WINS
Effort to Arrange Debate With the
Davenport High School So
ciety-Next Term.

In debate at the high school yes
terday afternoon IL was decided that
Mayor McCaskrin is not just what he
should be as chief executive of the
city of Rock Island. The Philakean
Debating society was recently organic
ed at the school and the first question
before the body involved the issue Re
solved That George w. McCaskrin is
an Ideal Mayor" Those who main
tanned that there was something
lacking in the executive chair caught
the ears of the judges and were victor
ious. this side being represented by
Charles Woodin, Fred Aster and Ralph
McManus. The supporters of the ac-
ministration were Clarence Martin.
Herman Ehrhorn and Earl Bowlby.
Debate with Davenport.
The organization heard a represen-
tative of the Athenean society of the
Davenport high school, who wanted to
make arrangements for the debate
which will probably be held this win
ter. They wish TO meet Rock Island
Jan. 10, or else some of their men who
graduate in January TO enter after
leaving school, This Rock Island re-
fuses TO do, and the challenge will
probably be rejected.
The Philakean boys will issue a
challenge TO Davenport for a later date
If this one is not accepted. Davenport
wishes to have three judges. one from
Iowa outside of Davenport, one from
Illinois outside of Rock Island, and
one from Rock Island arsenal.
Meet I'm Davenport.
They have made arrangements to
give the entertainment at the Daven-
port high school assembly or at
Science hall, and are willing TO bear
all the expenses provided they get the
receipts.
A subject for debate was also sub
!nitted to the Rock Island boys. II
was as follows: should rates charg-
ed by the railroads for services they
render to the public be regulated by
congress-? III Davenport's subject Is
chosen, Rock Island can have choice

The water fountains, in regulation

which are porcelain-lined, are expen.
sive, but they are easily cleaned and

are,too expensive, then the agate ones
should be bought, but tin vessels
should eve be used. The cheap agate

go through Ii season in good shape.
1t is a good plan to empty the water

it out with scalding water; then stand
it where the sun will shine m 1t for
a while. Twice or three times weekly

Selling is Half the Crop.

1t makes me tired to hear farmers
say there is no sale for their produce,
when they don't even let any II know
that they have some commodities for
sale. Last summer I visited neighbor
s. I noticed he had a few trees of
summer Rambo apples as fne as they
grow. going to waste. I asked him
why he did not sell them. mo n
wants them," he replied. I told him
such apples were in big demand in
York at mere than 81 per bushel.
Well, john he said, speaking to his
son, II guess you will have to take
them down and sell them, and you will
have half the money" So John put
the apples nicely Oh straw in the
wagon box and covered them all up
with blankets and started to York to
sell the apples. He drove up town
about a mile, those apples nicely covered
up all the time, expecting, no doubt,
that some t%elepatIlist or mind reader
would divine what he had, come out on
the street, stop him and buy the ap-
pies. but he was not so fortunate. BY
mere accident. a grocer discovered that
he had apples, and on sight bought
them NIL for about half what he could
have sold them for had he only lei
people know that he had apples for
sale. Think Of a merchant closing al!
his show windows, taking down his
sign and absolutely stop all advertis-
ing, how much business do you suppose
he would do?-L. w. Lightly, in Massa-

Stacking Straw.

ctHCAtBk
I have taken the Indiana Farmer for
a number of years, and like it. Have
often been impressed to answer some
Of your contributors, but have delayed
until to-day, thinking 1 could not bet
ter the situation. Have just read in
a recent number under caption How
to Save Straw"
1t appears to my mind that the Vigo
County farmer Though a good fellow
lacks the courage and tact of a good
Jap soldier. Before. blowers were
heard of, any mar was expected to
take his place on the straw stack, if so
requested. Sometimes as many as five
men wrought on a stack until it was
completed rightly: and would preserve
itself for future use perhaps for sew
eral years.. Along with the blower
came the declaration "That all hand
stacking was at an end" for the blower
completed the stack. I discredited it
from the start. | knew the declaration
was a fake the first blower stack I
saw. It had a shed roof from the
ground up OH the opposite side from
the machine, and shapeless pile OF
finely cut straw, from top to bottom.
A perfect spring to receive and retain
moisture, and thereby spoil the good
feed in it. The first blower we had OH
our farm, we started in with two good
stackers to follow the rotating pipe,
to tramp the middle and arrange the
straw evenly over the surface. Then
we gave orders to blow the straw
where it was needed to complete a good
self preserving top on it. We have
never lost our straw. but get much
good feed out of it during winter. We
then tear down the residue for fall fer
tflizer, and put it all back on the soil
in twelve months again. Am o
prophet enough to divine just where
American farmers will drift to. Too
tony to be found on the blower straw
stack, for love or money, afraid of little
outside dust when the Good Book says
he is made If dust. We may save
our straw in stacks about as We for
merry did, if we go at it rightly.
My rule is to go on my neighbours
stack provided he will work on mine,
or furnish a man.
Pay stackers extra, if they desire it:
it will be money we'll spent. We have
a couple of pairs of goggles to be used
on threshing days. Also furnish a
damp sponge to tie over nose and
mouth to exclude dust, if so desired.
Blower stacks need sleeper roofs on
them, and the middle kept very solid.
A few days after threshing and the
stacks settles, a little, make the roof
a little sleeper and higher. and fasten
rails or poles Oh the ridge against
heavy fall winds.-J. Beebe, in Indiana
Farmer.

Bookbinding as Women's Work.

Since the first woman took it up,
b%ookbinding has received a curious i'm
petus. Each year sees a few more dev-
otees of the art among women, who
are peculiarly adapted for the work
by their delicacy of touch. 1t takes a
strong wrist and a steady hand for
some of the finer t%ooling-in fact, for
most of the workout when Il woman's
hand and wrist become trained she be-
comes more adept, as a rule, than a
man. Nobody quite equals, after all,
that great master bookbinder. Golden
Sanderson, who refuses all but 4 talent-
ed few of the many who apply to him
for lessons. His pupils must agree to
stay with him the length of time he
dictates, or he will have none Of them.
There's Il limited field for bookbinding.
as there must always be with any art
that takes great refinement and an
almost scholarly taste to appreciate.
Yet the women who have made a sue
cess of it, above all. those who are
able to make their own designs for
covers as we'll as execute them. have
as much as they can comfortably do.
And the work pays well.-Chicago
