Adds A Brand New Fixture To His
Store.

That some of Charles Town merchants
are not only quick to take advantage OF
new and approved methods of doing
business, but are bound TO warrant the
confidence of their customers to the full
est extent, is shown by the recent pur-
chase of Toledo Computing Scale by
Mr.. b. II. Riddleberger of the Racket
Store, who has just recei wed the most
modern weighing machine, which almost
thinks for itself. 1t not only weighs,
but computes the cost, showing the ex-
act amount of the purchase inN dollars
and cents without any hand or mental
operation whatever. You just place
the commodity on the platform and the
scale does the rest.
Customers always like 10 see just
what they are getting; and, on this
scale the amount is plainly indicated on
the customers side of the device.
The subject of scales has occupied a
great deal of time and attention of city
officials and city sellers in all parts of
the country. Many scales have been
found unreliable and condemned. The
spring scales especially have been found
to be inaccurate, for, as we all know, a
spring will not "spring" the same after
it has been used for sometime. Springs
are also affected by heat and cold, and
scales that contain springs cannot be
relied upon.
This scale is springless and cannot
wear or change. 1t has been found to
be absolutely accurate and is recon-
mended by officials everywhere.
This fixture will make handsome
furnishing for Mr.. Riddleberger's store
and he is to be commended for his en-
terprise and for the open above-b board
weighing which allows his customers to
"see the wheels go around" for them
selves.

The most delightful child in country or
town is the one who owns pony and cart
Its the kind of play that makes children
self reliant and wholesome; besides it's the
'mostest fun" Just turn the children
loose, let them drive over the meadows and
wild flowers and have picnic in the woods
when the days are bright and the flowers all
bloom. Wall sells ponies suitable for the
smallest children. Try one for your boy
or girl, you will not regret it.

BEATTHEM AROONS
Peoria Socials Play True to
Form and Take Local Eleven
Into Camp Sunday.
HAD TO HUSTLE, HOWEVER
Losers OutpIayed the Vfctors at
Times, but Luck Breaks With
PeorianS.

The Maroon football of Rock Is
land met defeat again yesterday, this
time at the hands of the Social Ath-
letic club of Peoria. the final count
being 81 to 0. The game was played
at Riverview park, Peoria, and it
was not as one-sided as the score
would seem to indicate. The Ma
rooms, who have strengthened up
considerably since their game with
the Moline West Ends a week ago,
put up a powerful argument against
their fast and heavy opponents and
at many stages of the game they had
the Peorians outplayed. All the for
tunes of war favored the other team,
however, and touchdowns were made
on fluke plays repeatedly. Several
rulings of the Peoria referee effect
lively prevented the local players
from scoring, one of these rulings
coming after a long run had carried
the ball over the goal line. The
runner was brought back upon the
claim that he had stepped out of
bounds while running.
Him Open Season.
The Illini club of Moline opened
its season auspiciously yesterday by
drubbing the Peoria Diamonds by a
score of 80 to o. The game was
played at Athletic park, Moline, and
a thousand rooters saw it. The newly
formed Illini team played great ball
and seemed to gain at will either
through the visitors line, around
its ends or on forward passes. Free
berg and Wyland starred with long
runs through the Diamonds. The
who were greatly outweigh
ed, could do nothing towards carry
ing the ball and they played for
ward passes galore. many of them
with success. The Illini finally
fathomed the play, however, and
succeeded in breaking it up before
2 touchdown resulted.

GOAL NEVER IN DANGER
Moline High School Shows Ottawa
Boys That They Are Still in
kindergarten Glass.

Davenport high school won from St.
Ambrose college in their annual game
Saturday afternoon, the score being 8
to 0. The game was a brilliant one,
there being plenty of spectacular play
ing by both sides to make it interest
ing to the crowd. The kicking of Full
back Shuler of the high school won
the game for his team and STAYED off
what appeared like certain defeat by
the collegians. The high school boys
outweighed the losers five or six
pounds to a man, but the collegians
ripped through the line and circled
the ends time after time for steady
gains, while the high school boys made
first down by carrying the ball only
twice throughout the contest. The big
fullback was called upon repeatedly TO
kick the ball and the punts were so
high and so far that the st. Ambrose
quarterback could not handle them
properly. The result was over half
the kicks were recovered and long
gains were made in this way. Shuler
dropkicked a goal in the first quarter
after a fumbled kick had placed his
team near enough to goal, and in the
third quarter he carried the ball over
the line after another mishandled
punt had given his team the ball on
the 4-yard line. The high school has
a strong, heavy team, the best in SIX
years, the followers of the high school
squad claim.
Moline Wins Easily.
Moline high school mad an easy time
with the team from Ottawa high Sat
urday, defeating the visitors so to 0.
The Pillow City boys found themselves
opposed to an inexperienced team of
youngsters who. while not outweighed,
knew nothing of football as it is play
ed under the new rules. Forward
passes and line plays worked with
equal success and every play netted
ground for the Maroon and White.
The first touchdown came after three
minutes of play and after that scoring
was frequent and regular. Parkhurst
and Coyle featured for the winners,
their long runs resulting in many OF
the touchdowns.
