MCBRIDE GETS OUT
TRAINING CLOTHES
Prepares to Leave Monday for Bir-
mingham, Ala, Where He Will
Try for the Outfield.

Clyde Mcbride, the Islander out
fielder of last year, will leave Monday
for Birmingham, Ala, where he is
booked for trial. Mac will have
plenty of opposition for a garden po-
sition. as some mighty good Glass A
outfieIders are under contract with
the Birmingham management. His
chances of securing a regular position
are considered very good neverthe
less, and he leaves here with the best
wishes of a host of fans who are sorry
to lose his services as left fielder on
the Islander team. He was accounted
among the best in the Three-Eye last
year and there is no reason why he
should not make good in the company
into which he was drafted at the
close of last season. Clyde will proba-
bly, return here after the season is
over, as he has about decided to make
this city his home. He likes Rock
Island and would have preferred to
stay here to play.

Out of the Warming Pan

It's all bunk, this talk about Strea-
tor getting in to the Northern associa-
ton. President Burton now says he
never authorized such a statement,
but adds that there are four other
cities that will be glad to take hand
in the game. 1t begins to look as the
whole enterprise viii turn out to be
bunk
Dial Williams, manager OF the De-
catur club in the Northern associa-
ton, is signing up anything that looks
fairly good. He has secured George
Hall, a professional swimmer, and H.

named as manager of the Clinton team
in the I'M league, have agreed TO work
together in getting their teams.

DY means of this clever improvement
ID just the right amount of thread is
always given off, whether you sew
on light or heavy goods, and no matte.
how rapidly you change the thickness.
To prove this read what Siesel Cooper Co..
New York. have to say in their newspaper
advertising:
1.-The FREE machine interested US
enough to lead US to give it trial-and
the trial we gave it would have put most
sewing machines on the scrap heap.
We tried TO find its LDedk point. We
tried it on the sheerest nuns veiling-we
tried it on leather and on Cigar Bor CO.
Uers. We tried it on forty thicknesses Of
Lonsdale muslin at 200 stitches a minute.
1t never skipped stitch. We raced il
against the fastest rotary shuttle machines
and il beat them all hollow.
We tried il on fine work against the
best vibrating shuttle and chain stitch
machines, and it did as good work as
they did, and did il faster.
After a month spent in trying TO find
the weak point in The FREE zoe found
ii didn't haze one. We found il had all
of the good points of all other makes, and
three or four more exclusively its own.

CONTEST LACKING IN SNAP
Second Defeat That Visitors Have Re-
ceived at Hands of Home Boys
This Season.

Rock Island high school basketball
team defeated Monmouth for the sec
ond time this season last evening al
the local school gymnasium. The
final score was 48 to 26 The game
was rather slow, just the opposite OF
the one the week before when both
teams played in great style. The
Monmouth guards, realizing that the
Rock Island forwards were very good
/ basket throwers, stuck to their men
( like leeches, and the locals seldom
/ had a chance at a clear throw for a
/ field basket. Lift of Rock Island
made just half of the points for the
locals, while Hoy made 'half of the
points for the visitors. His accurate
throwing of foul baskets was excep-
tionally good. He succeeded in max
ing 10 out of 16 free throws.
During the contest time was taken
out for four of the Rock Island men
and two Monmouth men, but all Of
them were able to continue the game.

Curtain Raiser a Tie.
The curtain raiser last evening was
played by two local high school teams,
one representing the sophomore class
and the other made up of members Of
various classes. The latter team is
sailing under the name of Clowns"
The reason for the cognomen could
be seen by any of the spectators who
witnessed the game. The Monmouth
team was delayed in arriving here
and so the teams played to kill time,
rather than to defeat each other. The
final score was II to II and as all Of
the contestants had become somewhat
winded the contest was not finished.

RESERVE TO STAY
Ensign o. L. Smith States In
te~est in Naval Militia Will
Be Revived.
DORMANT DURING WINTER
Reorganization and Recruiting Will
Be Taken Up Soon and Vacan-
Cies Will Be Filled.

Despite reports to the contrary,
there seems no intention on the part
of the local division of naval reserves
of this city to give up the ghost be-
three out of four of the commissioned
officers Of the organization.
Ensign o. L. Smith, who is in charge
of the division since Lieutenants A.
R. Davis and T. NJ. DeKay and Ensign
r. z. Smith left the ranks, states that,
although the organization has been
lying practically dormant during the
winter, he has faith in 1t to come up
to the scratch again when the river
opens and allows the new boat house
and It's two boats and other new equip
ment to be used. whereupon interest
in the organization will revive. Ac-
cording to Ensign Smith, the organiza-
tons finances are not in such poor
shape as has been announced, and he
says that a small sum would cover all
outstanding expenses, despite the fact
that the boat house, which was built
last year, cost 800.
Is Good News.
The news impartei by the present
division commander is good news in
deed to those in the city who would
dislike very much to see the division
mustered out and given to some other
city. Rock Islands division of naval
reserves has always stood high among
similar organizations throughout tho
state. and when it was first announced
that on account of the resignation Of
its officers and through lack of inter
est in the work there was chance
that a mastering would take place
general regret was expressed.
"An election is to be held soon"
states Ensign Smith, "and we expect
some of the best military men in the
city to be candidates for the vacant
officers which will put the division
again this year on the same excellent

STATE MOTORISTS ACTIVE
Illinois Leads Agitation for Federal
Registration Auto Bill.

The motorists in the state of Illinois
are taking a particularly active part
towards securing favorable action
upon the federal registration autOmo-
bile bill, in view of the fact that James
R. Mann, who is chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, which is now considering the
bill, is the representative from the
Second congressional district of the
city of Chicago, and the motorists of
the Windy city are preparing a strong
argument showing not only the needs
but the justice of the federal bill which
will be presented to Congressman
Mann at an early date. The chairman
of the committee will be earnestly re-
quested, in view of the widespread in
terest manifested for legislative uni
formity at the recent convention by
scores of delegates drawn not only
from the ranks of motorists, but in
many cases being the personal repre-
sentatives and appointees of the gov
errors from many states, to secure ia
vOrable action upon the bill by the
members of his committee as early as
possible, so that it may be presented
in the house of representatives.

FIRST GEESE PASS CITY
Prospects Not Considered Good for
Shooting This Spring.

0hAOOtALes
The first flock of wild geese flew
he. zig over the city on the way
north yesterday Ducks have begun
to arrive and are to be seen in the
open places along the river.
From the present outlook there will be
poor shooting in this vicinity this
spring. Ducks seldom follow the Mis-
sissippi up this way in any great num-
bers unless the stream is free from
ice, so that they can rest in the chan
mel out of zach of hunters. If the
present weather continues the heavy
fight of fowl will be on In a few days,
and inasmuch as the ice bids fair to
hold for couple of weeks longer, there
is not much likelihood that the sports
men will find much to attract them IN
less severe weather drives the flOcks in

YEARS
AGO HE HAD LESS
THAN ; DOLLARS
HE IS NOW ONE OF THE RICHEST
FARMERS IN SASKATCHEWAN,
CENTRAL CANADA.

Arriving in Canada in 1891, Just
eighteen years ago., E. A. Guillomin
could speak but his native language.
He is a Frenchman. He had but
q little over two dollars in his pocket,
thus being short over seven dollars of
the ten dollars required to secure en-
try for a homestead of n hundred
and sixty acres. He eventually Dor
rowed the money and near Forget.
Saskatchewan, he started life in Can
ada on the homestead in which to-day
he is the fortunate possessor of fifty
quarter sections of land, or 5000 acres.
Now Mr.. Guillomin did not acquire
all these acres as a result altogether OF
his farming operations, which were
extensive. He looked with satisfac-
ton upon what he was doing on his
limited area, he was saving, careful,
and had foresight. Surrounding land
could be had for about $500 per acre,
and he continued buying as his saw
ings would permit, until now he has
fifty quarter sections, some Of which
he can sell at $500 per acre.
Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushels.
This year he was engaged in thresh-
ing on his place for 54R days. He
threshed out $4,000 bushels Of wheat,
of which he sold $4,000 bushels, one
train load, at a price varying from 81
to 81 cents per bushel. He has on
hand still 10000 bushels. In addition
to wheat he raised 10000 bushels Of
oats, 1000 bushels of barley and 500
bushels of fax. He owns 104 horses
and a number of cattle, but since the
construction of the railway he has
been engaged chiefly in raising wheat.
This year he bought his first thresh-
ing machine, paying for it the sum
of $2,1O0. He estimates that the ma
chine earned for him this fall SO, 1000,
thus paying for itself in one season
and leaving 5000 to the good. The
weather was very propitious for farm
threshing, not a single day being lost
in the W months which were spent
in this work. The wheat averaged %
bushels to the acre and graded No. l
and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine
years seven good crops have been har-
vested on this farm. For six success
slve years The returns were excellent,
that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903,
1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two fol-
lowing years there was a partial fail
ure. AS the years have passed the
quality of the buildings On the farm
have been steadily improved, and are
now as good as can be found in the
district. About $4,000 has been in
vested in this way by Mr.. Guillomin.
The farm consists of $3.50 acres, Of
which about 5000 acres were under
crop this season.
