on and within the last week the names

plain view of the people passing in and
out of the Industrial home building. \
rumor reached some of the mOlders
Thursday that non-union mOlders were
going to bring suit against them 70;
posting their names as 'scabs.' This
led some of the molders to seek legal
advice upon the matter and it was
learned that there is a severe penalty
for doing such. The word was taken
back to headquarters and Immediately
the names were all erased from the
board

BASE BALL BOY.

Song Air down on the farm,
When boy just learns to crawl
He wants to play base ball.
And his sporting father pats him or
the head,
And says my darling son
When you are twenty-one,
You shall swing the bat and wear the
stocking red.
Then when he is a man,
He wonders through the land,
With bat and ball and scratches OF
his face
And he has a great desire,
To be bold umpire,
And for no other business has a taste
So boys just one and all,
3 Don't grow too fond of ball,
And listen to the kind words I have
said,
For men who need a boy,
I'm sure will not employ,
The fellow who has learned no othc,
trade.

do you know why? It's because
/ used to drink coffee, but finally
cut it out and began using Postum.
Twice since then have drank coffee,
and both times l passed a sleepless
night, and so 1 am doubly convinced
coffee caused the trouble and Postum
removed it.
My brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day.
He was troubled with sour stomach.
and l would often notice him getting
soda from the can to relieve the dis
. tress In his stomach; lately hardly a
day passed without a dose of soda
for relief.
Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so we'll he gave I'D coffee.
and since then has been drinking Pos
tum in its place, and says he has not
once been troubled with sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not sus-
pect for time that coffee was caus-
ing his sour stomach, but easily
proved it.
Coffee is not suspected in thou
sands OF cases just like this, but it's
easily proved. A ten days trial
works wonders. There's a Reason. F."

Began Career Here.
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser began his Won
derfully successful career in Rock Is
land. He was born in Niedersaulhein
in 1884 and in 1858, after several rel
atives had removed to this country, h ;
too came to the United States. In
1856 he came to Rock Island, and Sc
cured employment with construction
company engaged in building the Rocl
Island & Peoria Railway compan.
line. He later entered the employ ol,
Mead, Smith & Marsh, lumbermen
here. and his association with then
led him to engage in the lumber bus
ness. The company opened lumbe'
yard at Coal Valley, and transferreI
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser there. In 1858 tho
firm became insolvent, and Mr.. Weyer
haeuser secured as much of the prop
erty as he could by purchase on ii
credit basis. When, in 1859, the af,
fairs of Mead, Smith & Marsh were
closed up, the mill in the west emf
of Rock Island was offered for sale
and Mr.. Weyerhaeuser and F. C. A.
Denkmann entered into partnership
under the name of Weyerhaeuser G
Denkmann and purchased the prop
erty. This busiess grew rapidly, and
with other interests which Mr.. Weyer
haeuser acquired on the river and in
the north, besides those in this city,
his entire attention was required here
so in 1873 he removed from Coal Va
ley to Rock Island. The purchase OF
the old Skinner mill and the j. s
Keator mill here formed the basis Of
the Rock Island Lumber & Manufa2
turing company, which Mr.. WeyeT-
haeuser still controls, and out of
which has grown the Rock Island Sasn
& Door works and the ST. Louis Sasa
& Door works. Mr. Weyerhaeuser has
extended his interest now to all parts
of the country where timber lands are
located, and has immense sums iii
vested in timber, manufacturing IN
dustries and banks.
