Dr. A. F. Thomson communicated to

lowing romantic account Of the origin
Of the popular name. forgetinenot. Of
the favorite little flower inyoSotis:
Two lovers were lettering on the mar
gin of q lake OH fine summers even
ing when the maiden espied some Of
the flowers of myosotis growing on the
water close to the bank Of an island
at some distance from the shore. She
expressed q desire to poSses's them.
when the knight. in the true spirit of
chivalry. plunged into the water and.
swimming to the spot. cropped the
wished for plant, but his strength was
unable to fulfill the object of his
achievement. and. feeling that he could
not regain the shore. although very
near IT, he threw the flowers upon the
bank. and. casting last affectiOnate
look upon his ladylove. he cried For
waters. AS the world insists upon a
reason. this story is as good as another.
but the worthy knight must have been
sadly out of his element not to have
been able to return from a bank on
which his mistress could discern so

DAVENPORT

May Contest Petitions.-The board
of supervisors is in session canvass
ing the petitions of consent signed re-
Gently by the voters of Davenport.
These petitions of consent for the law
full manufacture and sale of intoXicat-
ing liquors in Davenport bear over
5000 signatures. The Civic federation
takes the position the new petitions rf
consent are not valid, inasmuch as the
cid petitions have two years yet to run.
Attorneys Betty & Betty stated that as
yet they had received no instructions
to take any action and therefore they
could not say what would be done.
The Civic federation, in its opposition
TO the new petition of consent, states
the petitions will allow all the enjoin.
mess before July 4, on which date thu
Moon bill goes into effect, and that
this will lenghten the life of all the
saloonkeeperS from two years, at
which time the old petitions of conSen.
expire, to five years. as provided in
tons of consent, at its expiration in
two more years. the federation says,
the city council could issue permits to
but one saloon for every 1000 inhaDi
tants or some 40 odd permits. With
the new petitions of consent in effect
the present number of saloons could
remain In business for five years
longer.

cutive board of the Davenport High
School Alumni association has an.
nounced the program for the annual
