ty is shown to have taken an unusual
interest in the problem that then agi-
tated the entire nation. One thing that
helped was the direct manner in which
Rock Island was involved in the Dredd
Scott case which was made exceeding
ly prominent in the public prints of
that day Scott was brought TO Rock
Island by his owner, DIR. Emerson, and
the contention for his freedom was
based on his term of residence here.
Then. the community was largely set
tied by eastern people and they were
ardent abolitionists. This sentiment
reached it's height in Moline, which
was one of the stations of the under
ground railway by which the negroes
were conducted away from their south
ern owners to Canada, where they were
free. Prior to the organization of the

The Day of the FIau.

Next Thursday, June IA, will be the
10th anniversary of the adoption OF
the star spangled banner as our ma
tional ensign. Every true American
honors the flag, not because of its
beauty, but because it is the symbol OF
liberty, good government, civil rights
and human progress. This year is the
53rd anniversary of the introduction of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the pop
ular home remedy. Many others have
come and gone during those years,
while the Bitters is more firmly estab-
lished than ever. That proves its
merit If you suffer from poor appe-
tite, heartburn, fiatulency, vomiting,
cramps, Indigestion, dyspepsia. costive-
ness, or malaria, fever and ague, one
bottle will convince you beyond all
doubt that it is the medicine to cure
YOU. Sticky women and children are
also benefited by taking the Btters
every month.

CAN DOUBLE VALUE OF
MILK COWS IN COUNTY
Attention to Breeding Would Net Big
Returns to Owners of
Herds,

1t is said that the cows in this coun-
try could be doubled in value in very
few years if the farmers would pay
more attention to their stock, particu-
larry to the selection of good sires.
There is an immense difference be-
tween individuals in the COW family.
The work of the Guernsey Breeders
Registry bureau proves this. Last year
they certified to 1877 COWS that averag-
ed between 5000 and 5000 pounds of
milk 137 between 5000 and 10000, 43
between 10000 and 10000, and four
over $4,000 during the year. One COW
produced over 500 pounds of butter
and 1856 produced from 400 to 500
pounds each in 1905.
The Holstein Breeders association
just reports tests on IS animals. over
two-thirds of them being only two or
three year old heifers. In seven days
these cows produced 5000 pounds of
milk with an average butter fat test of
331, or a total of 1.0S9R pounds of
butter fat. The average for the lot,
young and old. was about 20 quarts of
milk daily and almost 1412 pounds of
butter week.
One COW, DeKol Cremelle, averaged
1929 pounds daily for 60 days, giving
more milk in two months than most
cows in Rock Island county will give in
year.
Of course, these were good COWS.
Their work shows it. But by careful
breeding and proper care the COWS in
this county could soon be made infin-
itely more profitable than they now
are.
Registration and full blood are not
indispensable to profitable dairying. A
good Holstein or Guernsey cross can
soon be effected whereby generous
producer of fairly rich milk will be the
result. To this a good full-blood bull
is necessary and what if he costs 800.
5000, or even more? His progeny
soon pay big interest on the invest
ment.
If the common COW, giving about
5000 pounds of milk year, is worth
$500, what is DeKol Cremelle worth?

lice officers swooped down unexpected
ly on a dozen or more bathers who
were swimming in Sugar Hollow creek
at the corner of Nineteenth street and
Twelfth avenue, and the wild scramble
to escape arrest is one which some of
the boys will long remember. The
lads had built two dams in the creek,
the first one providing a deep swim
ming hole in which the older boys en-
joyed themselves, and the second one
furnishing a more shallow hole for the
little fellows. The dams have caused
the water to overflow several yards in
the vicinity, and a visit by the police
was in response to a complaint which
one of the property owners registered
The larger boys left the water when
they saw the patrol wagon looming up
a block distant, and without so much
as waiting for their clothes started on
a wild dash up the hollow into the
woods The youngsters were caught
and five of them were forced to break
the dam they had built and then were
taken to the police station, where they
were given d lecturing and then dis
charged.
