CRUISE OF THREE
CLUBS Is PLANNED
Meet Tonight to Perfect Ar
engagements for Trip.

The cruising committees of the boat
clubs of the tri-cities meet tonight at
the boat house of the local club to
arrange for cruise of all three of
the clubs together. The plans are to
have ii week from Sunday. but the
destination has not been decided upon
and there are several different places
under consideration One plan is to
go up Rock river to Vandruff's island
and to have basket picnic there in
the afternoon. Another plan is to go
up the Hennepin canal as far as the
Moline bridge and then enjoy late
dinner and return. The disadvantage
of the second plan lies in the fact
that if it is followed there will be no
way for those who cannot get launch
TO carry them to get to the picnic.
The first plan will allow these people
to go on the car to Vandruff's island
and in that way go and return when
they please regardless of when the
launches move. The long cruise
planned by the local club had TO be
postponed because of the unfavorable
weather and it is hoped that this time
the rain will not interfere with the
one row planned.

Cudahy Packing company branch in

of John Dougan of Davenport. AT
Nineteenth street a motor cycle passed
and the horses became frightened and
started off with jerk which threw
the driver off the wagon and bruised
his shoulder severely. He ran after

HERE AT HOME
Democrats Have Big End on
Interest and Enthu-

CLUB IS BEING FORMED
while Republicans Arc Fighting Each
Other the Ratification
Is Deferred.

The democrats are certainly having
the big end of the political enthusiasm
in Rock Island and elsewhere this
year

man Il. w. Hurst in concluding the
exercises of the democratic ratifica-
ton meeting on Market square We'd
nesday evening, of the fact that mem
bership rolls were being circulated
and rapidly signed for the formation
OF a Bryan and Kern clus in Rock
Island, has been followed by the ad-
dition of scores of names The lists
which have been placed by Chairman
Maucker in the hands of the various
members of the county committee
promise one of the largest political
campaign organizations in Rock Is
lands history, SO general is the re-
Spouse to the solicitation for members
1t is expected i'm short time to
call meeting of the members when
an organization will be perfected and
plans adopted looking to maintaining
through the campaign the spirit of en-
thusiasm so Enthusiastically manifest in
Rock Island last Wednesday night.
Trying TO Follow Suit.
Stirred by he great enthusiasm
among the democrats, there will be
another effort by the republicans to
arouse interest enough to organize a
Taft and Sherman club this evening
and some time have ratification
meeting. c. j. Searle. the acknowl-
edged and indisputable original Taft
man in the county, will be in general
charge of the ceremonies. and he has
rallied about him some of the party
leaders, who agree that it is high time
that the organization of campaign
club he forced and the tactics of
whipping wanderers into line be be
gun. Judge Searle and DIR. w. H.
budewig, chairman of the temporary
organization, started by Judge Searle
some months ago hope to attract
enough of the people to the meeting
tonight to transact business, even if
it takes a brass band to do it.
However, some of those in the Can
non forces who thwarted Judge
Searle's early efforts for a Taft club
in the interests of the Illinois "favO
rite son" are continuing their en-
deavors to battle Judge Searle in his
attempt to bring to development his
organization. Among others Captain
H. A. J. Mcdonald, Rock Islands af
fable postmaster. finds himself in a
predicament in the matter, for under
instructions from Congressman Nc
Kinney he frowned down the Taft
movement in it's incipiency, and witt
others does not now seem to know
exactly which way to turn TO avoiC
political difficulties of a serious char
acter.

Weeds.

After we shall have destroyed our
forests to exc out the necessary sup
ply of wood pulp we may possibly find
a near-to-hand substitute in some
weed now cast as rubbish to the
void. According to analyses of eigh-
teen samples of the more common
weeds, made at the instance OF the
Department of Agriculture, it has
been developed that many of them
withdraw large amounts of nitrogen
from the soil. The large amount Of
protein in the dry matter was partlcu-
larry noticeable in pursane, lambs
quarters or pigweed, and cheese weed
or mallow. 1t is stated that there is
more protein in the dry matter OF
these weeds than in either alfalfa or
clover, and it is suggested that 1t is
advisable to keep a few sheep on every
farm for utilizing and controlling the
weed crop in order that under such
a system the land may be reclaimed
and the weeds utilized for both forage
and green manure.
The farmer who knows his weeds
may gather advantage and save money
by reason Of his knowledge. 1T is Sug-
gested by the experiments OF the De-
ment that by judicious selection and
simple methods of improving forage
tent the feed bills now made up so
largely of expenditure for costly con-
centrated feeds to supply the def
ciencies of farm feeds in protein may
be greatly reduced .'-Phila. Record.

Possibilities of Windmills.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the Bureau
OF Chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture, has an idea which he is
willing to pass on to our American
farmers without charge and with the
evident conviction that they can all
make money out of 1t. Having been
studying windmills, outside of Cong
gress, he is convinced that they are
capable of use in producing electric
ity, which may be utilized in mnay
ways on the farm to the comfort and
profit of the farmer and his family.
Accompanying the suggestion is a
collection of tables, based on scien-
tific observation and tests. showing
that the average windmill, with but
little infraction of the eight-hour laws,
furnishes power enough to generate
electricity in quantities sufficient to
run the feed-chopper, heat the house,
furnish fuel for the kitchen, and do
most of the laborious chores that now
fall to the farmers wife or the hired
man. DR.. Wiley suggests that the fuel
supply of the country is rapidly disap-
pearing and may eventually become
exhausted, while the wind promises
to continue in unfailing breezes.
Properly conserved and utilized the
wind may be made to perform very
service to the farmer. So

Wives on Lonely Farms.

A man and woman who lived on
neighboring farms near Bosworth, Mo-.
eloped to Kansas City, each deserting
a mate and children. For a little
while they enjoyed the novelty of the
experience, but were soon taken in by
the police, and the deserted husband
was sent for. He came and met his
wife at the police station, where he
promptly ''forgave"her and took her
home. But there was touch of pathos
in the explanation given by the woman
for her action. She said that she had
monotony of that life palled on her
and drove her to deed of desperation
which she never dreamed herself cap
able of committing. The tempter
whispered in her ear at the moment
of her greatest weakness, and she
consented to leave the farm for the
allurements of the city. AS she look
ed about her at the lonely and unat-
tractive home and considered the
deadly tedium of her daily life, her
soul revolted, and that spirit of yearn-
ing for change which is in every nor
NAL man and woman led her into
wrOngdoing.
Of course, the wife who thus left
her home and her husband to run
away with another man committed a
grievous sin, yet she has not forfeited
claim to sympathy. Perhaps if her
husband had concerned himself more
in making her lot happier she would
not have left him. In all probability
this farmer was Industrious, honest,
thrifty and of good standing in his
neighborhood. He, no doubt, believed
that he was a good husband, and that
his home was as happy as the average.
This type of farmer is found in every
community. He forgets in the hard
years of accommodating money that his
wife is wearing out her life for want
of little variety-that she needs a
change from the loneliness and mo-
notony of her home.-Kansas City
Journal.

W.. F. and G.. Buys a Road.

Frederick, Md, April 27.-The di-
rectors of the Washington, Frederick
and Gettysburg Railway Company
purchased this afternoon for the Mon
ocacy Valley Railroad Company the
latters road running from Catoctin
Furnace to Thurmont, about four
miles.
The sale gives the Washington, Fred
erick and Gettysburg road line from
Frederick to Thurmont, except gap
of three miles between Lewistown and
Catoctin Furnace. The executive
committee was directed to proceed i'm
mediately to build the road from
Lewistown to Catoctin Furnace. AT
the latter place the line will intersect
the newly purchased road all the way
to Thurmont where cars will be run
ming from Frederick in 80 days.
