going on for the past ten years. and
is still going on. Present indications
are that the west is to become the
breeding place Of the draft horses OF

IL, where is there a country or the room
in which to breed and rear them to SO
good advantage?

from parties in Oklahoma who have
large interests in the race horse game

A few bushels of carrots stored
away for the winter, will be appreciat-
ed by your horse and help keep him in

URBANA CLAIMS THE DATE
Quincy, the Title Holders, Declines
to Play BOth-Will Meet Dav-
export Sunday.

The Elk baseball team which has
been dreaming of going to Springfield
to play with either Quincy or, Urbana
for the championship of the state, has
been compelled to give up its hopes
and remain at home. Negotiations
have been on for several weeks be-
tween Manager Anderson of the local
team and the managers of the Quincy
and Urbana teams and for a time It
looked as though the matter could be
arranged satisfactorily. The Quincy
team which at present Possesses the
championship said they would be
glad to play either Urbana or Rock Is.
land on Wednesday afternoon, and
that they would suggest that Rock Is
land and Urbana play a game in the
morning to decide which was to have
the right to play the champs.
Urbana Claims Date.
Urbana, however had the preference
in case no such arrangement could be
made and they took advantage of a
former agreement with Quincy to
claim that they had the right to play
the champions without first meeting
Rock Island and risk losing this
chance. That let the Rock Islands
with no one to play in case they did
make the trip to Springfield, so they
would not go.
The Urbana and Quincy teams will
play their game before the regular
|Three-Eye game there tomorrow.
Springfield and Cedar Rapids are
scheduled to play a game after the
Elks decide who are the champions
of the state for the coming year. The
league teams are to give the Ellls $50
for playing the curtain raiser, and this
money will be used to defray the ex-
penses of the two teams.
The Rock Island lodge of Elks will
be represented at the convention by
Lloyd Lampherc. the exalted ruler of
the lodge. 1t is understood that sew
eral of the members of the lodge have
planned on being present at the state
convention which convenes tomorrow

Mr. Lamphere left this noon.

The Davenport Elks and the locals
will play a game next Sunday after
noon at the Three-Eye league diamond
in Davenport. There is considerable
rivalry between the two teams and as

Bloomington, May 11.-(Special.)-
Rock Island easily outplayed Bloom
ington OH a muddy field yesterday and
romped home a winner, 6 to >. 1t was
largely through the pitching of Hardin
though the general performance of the
team was most creditable and not an
error was chalked up against any of
its members
The spectacular feature was the
homer of Kelley, who drove the ball
base. Frank had just poled his first
hit of the season, which went for two
sacks. Murphy's work in the field WAS
also of a high order. He had seven
putouts and nailed two men on bases
by accurate throws.
How They Scored.
Rock Island scored twice in the sec
ond, Kelley lifting Texas Lacquer to
left, taking second on McBride's sacri.
fee and scoring on Berger's smash 70
right, Langdon letting Belts throw TO
the plate get by him. Berger took
third on the play, to score on Vogel's
sacrifice fly.
Berger scored in the fifth when he
was hit by pitched ball, was sacri-
feed along and came home on
Meloan's sacrifice fly to Kearney.
Two more scored in the eighth when
Murphy poled for two sacks and Kei-
ley hit the ball to right for a clean
homer. The last run scored in the
ninth, when Vogel walked and came
around on hits by Eng and Hardin

1t is now thoroughly established
among the best medical authorities
that eczema is purely skin disease.
due to germ, and durable only
through the skin. 1t is not blood
disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and
are perfectly healthy otherwise, and
thereby prove they have no diseased
blood.
Smeary salves cannot reach the
germs because they do not penetrate
the skin. The only way to reach the
germs is by means of penetrating
liquid.
Such liquid can be obtained by
simply mixing ordinary oil of winter
green with thymol, glycerine and other
healing agents. This compound, known
as d. D. D. Prescription, stops the
itch instantly-and the cures all ap-
pear to be permanent. In fact, it took
thousands of cures, case after case,
before the best scientific authorities
were convinced of the absolute merit
of this remedy. D. D. d. Prescription
kills the germs in the itching skin.
It's effect is seen within one minute
after the first application. We espec-
tally recommend ID. d. d. Soap in con-
nection with the treatment.
