chants Association Held
at Harper.
HAPPY TALKS ARE DELIVERED
Looking to Building Up of Business
Community and Appealing to
Local Patriotism.

A company of about 10 Rock Island
business men, representing almost ev-
cry branch of local mercantile pur-
suits, as well as many of the profess
sions, last evening attended the sew
enth annual banquet of the Rock Island
Retail Merchants association, at the
Harper house. An excellent menu was
served. and following the feast, the
business men present enjoyed pro-
gram of toasts of unusual interest and
benefit, William NJ Reck gracefully
dischsrging the duties OF postmaster.
The Retail Merchants
The first speaker was j. B. Oakleaf
of Moline. whose subject was The Re
tail Merchants" In his remarks Mr..
Oakleaf presented some unusual argu-
ments along trade lines particularly in
speaking Of the retail grocer. whose
methods in general he criticised Sc

briefly of the present aims of the asso-
citation, including its efforts in the in
terests of the per cent garnishment
bill, the national bankruptcy amend
ment, and its opposition TO the propos-
ed parcels post. He gave a general
statement of the organizations meth
DDS. and its advantages to the retail
dealer.
Mr. Kingsbury's address was follow
ed by a few remarks by the local pres
ident, F. T. Myers, who spoke briefly
in the interests of a larger member
ship and greater activity on the part
of the Rock Island merchants.
Mr. Mcintyre Was There.
The concluding number of the pro-
gram was given by William b. Nc
Intyre, humorist and optimist. His
address was styled dessert by the
POSTMASTER, and was defined on the
printed program as go" 1t was one
|of Mr. McIntyre's happy talks, filled
with witty stories and valuable senti-
ments that appealed to every nearer.
In the course of his remarks he en-
phasized the truth that you as bust
ness men must learn that your COM
petitor is not your enemy. Without
that knowledge, your association is
not in reality an organization" He
concluded his address with a poem,
the sentiment of which was that bus
mess man, TO be a success, must push
and keep himself and his business NOV
ing forward whether he feels inclined
to do SO or not from the personal point
of view.
During the evening instrumental
music was furnished by Mr.. Kemper
on the Artista piano player, the prod
uct of Rock Islands new industry
The banquet was one of the most
successful ever held by the association,
and the association viii take up its
years work with renewed activity as
a result.

there is a community larger than any
city i'm the Mississippi valley between
st. Paul and st. Louis. He pointed out
the community interests of the three
cities. and claimed that when mer-
chant in one city made dollar, the
merchants of the other two could not
help making at least ten cents as dl-
rect result. He quoted railway agent
of the Rock Island as saying that more
freight traffic originates on that road
in the three cities than is originated on
the same road in the city of Chicago.
He suggested that the organization OF
district. such as the District OF Co
lumbia, and the abolition of the three
distinct cities, as means or centering
the community interests of this district
more strongly. In concluding his re-
marks, Mr.. Smith read a very forceful
original poem. depicting a dream in
which he saw in the future city great
er than any in the Mississippi valley,
q Chicago on the Mississippi river, the
three cities merged into one, forming
a great trade center.
One of the pleasing features of the
evenings program was the reading by
Robert Rexdale, who gave several of
his published poems, including MY
Old Dutch STEM THE Other Side of
the Picture LAS the Ship Sails Over
the Harbor Bar" and ben Ali Chan"
Mr.. Rexdale prefaced his readings with
happy sentiments appropriate to the
occasion.

church, and as he styled himself, a re-

taller of connubial compacts, on the
subject, Organization, was perhaps
the principal number of the program
and in the course of his remarks on
the subject, Mr. Lawrence presented 10
his hearers many valuable thoughts on
the subject OF organized business. In
opening, Mr. Lawrence pointed out that
organization is taught in nature her
self. and TO show the absolute neces-
sity of organization, he gave number
OF forceful illustrations, from mechan-
les. arts, the military, and education.
He showed the derivation of the word
organization, from organ, and the idea
of organ, ito work This he applied
to the association, and showed the
work that the association does do, and
what it might do He urged that the
members, both individually
interest in the affairs of the city, both
as to its legislative and executive
branches, and in its moral conditions.
The speaker devoted some time to
the opportunity of the peo-
pie at large, and of the people of the
three cities, and Rock Island in par
ticular He enlarged the statement of
Mr.. Smith, that the three cities COM
pose a community larger than any city
between ST. Louis and St. Paul, and
embrace territory of greater proper

the Mississippi valley, the length of

of the country as well. 1t was de-
fined as an institution that benefited
both city and country. bringing the
limits of a city about fifty miles from

this connection he spoke of the magni-

FINDLAY, O., Oct. 12.-Tne state

Manhattan Oil companies and the

agaisnt the Standard today when it
established relations between the
Seep purchasing agency and the
Standard and showed there was no
competition in Findlay between the
Standard and the Solar refineries.
Deputy Oil Inspector Shafter of this
city said that the Standard has dis

trying to show by Shafter's testimony
that the relations of the Solar Refin-
