OF course the lgorrote infield would
eat up these hits of Wolfe. They've
got wings and can fly up in the air and
catch those that he'll put over that
right field fence al Paducah And
maybe Gilligan had better wear boiler
iron on his pipe stems or have his
legs cut off Dummy Hugh3s had a
brief but sad experience by being in

"This oil Of lemon" said the spice
merchant, ''is an exquisite thing. 1t is
hand-pressed-pressed by hand out Of
lemon rind. Smell it."
The odor of the clear oil suggested
sunlit lemon groves miles in extent on
a mountainside overlooking the blue
sea.
"I'lI tell you how the oil OF lemon is
extracted" he said. "A man sits with
a sponge in one hand and a piece of
fresh lemon peel in the other. He
presses the peel against the sponge,
giving it finally certain difficult and
dexterous twist. and this breaks the
cells in the rind, and the oil-there's
only a half drop of it-comes reluc-
tantly out upon the sponge.
when the sponge has taken up the
dribblings of about hundred rinds, ii
is wet enough to be squeezed out. An
ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil
them flows from 1t.
There is no way to extract this oil
within a lemon rind except by squeez-
ing and twisting the rind by hand. II
takes the rinds of about 1900 lemons
to make one pound or OIL"

Losses From insect Pests.

g. L. Marlatt, of the Department oi
Agriculture in Washington, has pre-
pared statement as to the loss by in
sect pests in the United States each
year. He notes that the losses each
year in all the plant products of the
soil, both in the growing and in the
stored state, together with those in
live stock, exceed the entire expendi-
ture of the national government. in
cluding the pension roll and the main
tenance Of the army and the navy
Placing the value of these products at
S., 900, 900, 900, per year, he notes an
annual shrinkage due to insect pests OF
fully 10 per cent-in many cases of so
per cent; but at 10 per cent, $500, ,000,-
600 is ''the minimum yearly tax which
insects levy upon the products OF the
farm" This does not include loss to
farm products in storage, 500, 900. 900;
or to natural forest and food products,
also 500, 600, 900; making'a total an

RIGHT KIND OF man
Is James G. Britton of Andalusia,
for Minority Represent
tafive.
HIS CLAIMS ON DEMOCRACY
Likewise Those of Rural Districts
Advantage of Standing in Adjoin-
ing Counties.

Il James G. Britton of Andalusia, has
asked The Argus to remind his demo
cratic friends throughout the city and
county of his candidacy for the demo
cratic nomination for minority repre-
sentative. 1t is hardly necessary tC
do more than to mention the fact OF
Mr.. Britton's aspirations to awaken the
enthusiasm of his hosts of friends from
one end of the county TO the other
There are several reasons that Mr..
Britton'S admirers put forward in sup
port of his candidacy that should ap-
| peal with great force to democrats
generally. One is his unfiinching party
loyalty Notwithstanding the fact that
he was disappointed on one or two oc-
casions in the past in the attainment
of the same ambition that now inspires
him, he has never sulked in his tent,
but has given the best in him to the aid
and success of the successful candi-
date and to the entire ticket He is
a democrat through and through. with
out alliances outside his party, and
seeking no combination even though it
might have tendency to accomplish
his own ends by compromising his
party.
Another thing. Mr.. Britton repre-
sents the country, the rural districts,
which have long felt that both Rock
Island and Moline should give way to
the claims of the out of town demo
Gratis in the possession of the minority
representative. And Mr. Britton.
while being essentially a representative
Of srfA
county. has kept in sufficiently close
touch with the cities of Rock Island
and Moline, particularly the county
seat, to be well versed in the legisIa-
tive requirements of the city as well
as the country.
Stands Well in Mercer.
And still another advantage that Mr.
BrittOn possesses is his extensive
acquaintance in Mercer county No
democrat in Rock Island county is in a
position to ask more of the democrats
of Mercer county than Jim Britton.
They know him down that way, and
in this particular instance where
combined the democrats of Mercer and
Henderson counties go into the senate
rial convention with the same number
of delegates that Rock Island alone is |
entitled to. it behooves the democrats |
up this way TO select as their minority |
candidate a man who is |
strong in one of the other counties, to |
the end that there may be no ground |
for the democrats of neighboring coun-
ties standing out against the claims
of their political brethren in Rock Is
land county.
Must Choose Representative Democrat.
If the democrats of Rock Island
expect to hold their own, they
must select a representative creditable
democrat, who has a right to expect
the solid backing of his party in hisi
own county.
Such a man is James G. Britton.

NOT ENOUGH CARS
FOR THE CROWDS
vexatious Delay in Accommodating
Last Nights Throng at the
Watch Tower.

The street car service failed surpris
ingly in bringing the crowds back tc
the city from the Watch Tower last
evening The fact was not due Sc
much to the fact that the attendance
was much larger than usual in the
evening entertainments as to an ap
parent purpose to handle the people
with as little equipment as possible
This has not been the disposition OF
the company in the past. The com
pany has an abundance of ears TO move
5000 people or thrice that number
quickly and with little confusion.
But last night it fell down complete
ly When the concert was over the
little station and adjoining grounds
We're damned with sweltering human
ity. For places on such few cars as
were provided, people fought and
struggled desperately, and the wonder
is that there were not several acct,
dents. And after the first few cars
pulled away there was long and ag-
gravating delay until others came This
experience was repeated. and SO it
went for fully an hour, after which time
sufficient cars arrived TO convey the
last of the people back to the city
1t was simply a case of too few cars
and too far between.
There should have been no difficulty
in estimating in advance within a few
hundred of how many people were on
the grounds, and by timing the hour
w hon {hn MI tty
of cars could have been banked on the
siding or approaching the Tower to
have carried away the crowd in less
than 10 minutes time. An hour
after the proper time extra cars were
hustled out, but the reserve equipment
should have been at or near the Tower
end when the entertainment concluded
AS matter of course, the doubling
and looping of the Tower line will do
away with much of such annoyance as
occurred last evening. but even with
less advantage as the company now
has with it's track doubled part of the
way, it has on numerous occasions han
died crowds great deal more credit
ably than was the case last evening.
The delays caused no end of com
plant and should serve as a warning
to the company to see that the short
coming is not repeated.
