Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-09-11

Illinois had a real treat for his pat
rons yesterday in The Girl / Love,
one of the pretty musical comedies
that Manager Harry Askin is send
ing on tour from the LaSalle, Chi
cago. There were afternoon and
night performances here, and the
patronage was splendid, considering
the warm weather Manager Askin
has retained many of the people in
his road company that appeared in
the original cast at the La Sale. If
anything, the chorus-one of the fin
est looking and best equipped vocal
ly seen in Rock Island for long
periods an improvement on the
one seen at the LaSalle. However.
there are a few weak spots in the
principals, but the production as a
whole is so big and beautiful that one
almost loses sight of this void.
When THE Golden Girl" is pre-
scented at the Illinois next Thursday,
1t will mark the beginning of its first
tour to the Pacific coast. The COM
pany includes such well known per-
formers as Eunice Breach, Virginia
Drew, Carlton King, Tom Corless,
John E. Frank, Tom Meeghan, Harry
Nielsen. An added feature for the
western tour will be the interpola-
ton of the famous Frisco FrOlic," a
dance which seems to be the rage Of
Chicago, New York and Boston at
the present time It is claimed this
dance is not of the vulgar variety
and must not be COMPOUNDED with
anything which savors OF that re-
spect.

Umpire Steve Cusack's failure to see
a play at the plate IN the first game OF
the double header with Waterloo yes
terday afternoon, allowed the visitors
TO score the winning run in the first
game, and Whiteside's ineffectiveness
in the second was responsible for the
loss of number two. Both games were
close and were on a margin of one
score. The first ended TO 3 and the
second TO 2. The feature of the aft
ernoon's play was a home run hit by
Fred Schliebner, an amateur recruit
who has been playing with a Daven-
port team during the season. He play
ed first sack for the crippled Islanders
and filed the bill ably in the field. At
bat, he was the star for the locals.
With Waterloo ahead with a single
score, and with Islanders on second
and third, he Strengthened out one of
Pitcher HersChe's slants and it sailed
across the left field fence, allowing
him to galIop around the sacks and
chase in two runs ahead of him.
LOOKED SAFE. ut
Though it gave the Islanders an ap-
parently safe lead. it awaited them
nothing, for in the eighth inning. Peck
Harrington's bad boys got to Woods
for four hits and chased in three runs,
enough to cinch the game. With Ere
mer on third and Better on second, Ma
gle hit to right field, scoring Fremer.
Better was out at the plate BY a good
~ margin but Cusack saw it not. He
gave him a life there, and afterward
when GOnding objected. Steve admit
ted that he did not see the play But
his admission did not help the Island
ers an iota, for the run was in and the
game lost. In the ninth, the locals
made weak rally, but il was of short
life. TWO men reached bases. one go
ing as far as third. but the necessary
hit was not forthcoming. Woods pitch
ed good ball. except in the eighth, but
that was enough. Hersche, too, pitch
ed well, except in one inning, when the
amateurs hit sent in three runs. The

BLANKED IN FIRST.

The game Saturday afternoon went
to Waterloo, 2 TO 0, and Red Shackle-
ford's pitching did the business. He
was in but one bad hole during the
game, and he pulled through that han
Oily. Waterloo got TO Lakaff in the
first inning, and on three hits, scored
the two runs of the game. Bill Jacob
sen had to retire because of an injured
thumb, and Cook filed out at first
while Gonding donned the catcher's
mitt again. The score:

Want Net Weight on Cans.

Representative Covington. of Mary
land, appeared before the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the House re-
Gently with delegation of representa-
tives of Maryland canning interests IN
advocacy Of the Mann bill to require the
net weight of contents to be plainly
printed on all canned goods sent into
inter-Sta commerce.
The Maryland men who appeared be-
fore the committee were Frank E. Cor
rell, of Belair, secretary of the National
Gamers Association: S. A. Williams, of
Belair, general counsel of the same as
ISOLATION, and Hugh S. Orem. of the
Booth Packing Company, of Baltimore.
The Pure Food law compels guaranty
of the character of canned goods to be
placed on the labels. Those favoring the
Mann bill thought there could be no
valid objection raised against having
the net weight of the food products in
the cans included. The proposed law
would apply, of course, only to goods
shipped in Interstate commerce.

The many friends of Miss Mary E.

The many friends of Miss Mary f.
Waters will regret to learn Of her death,
which occurred in Baltimore on Thurs
day. Miss Waters was a daughter Of
the late RichardT. Waters. Esq, and a
sister of Col. Francis T.. Waters. She
was born in Snow Hill in 1912, and lived
here until her parents moved to Balti-
more. She never lost her interest in
the affairs and people Of Snow Hill.
Miss Waters visited here about five
years ago. Her funeral will be held
Saturday afternoon in Baltimore. Col.
and Mrs. John p. Moore and Mrs. Marion
T. Hargis, of Snow Hill, will attend the
funeral.
In the course of conversation re-
Gently between Mr.. Orlando Harrison
and one Of the editors Of the Messen-
ger, Mr. Harrison said our people ought
to spray their trees frequently, and they
would be sure to have fruit, and good
fruit at that. He said that he thought it
would be easy for us to get sprayer
from the State and some one of our citi-
zens could take up the job of spraying
trees at price per tree. We are in
formed that some Of the Berlin people
do this, and they pay l0c. per tree. The
only expense of the operator of the
sprayer would be his time and cost of
the mixture for spraying. Someone who
has a knowledge of fruit trees, and has
the time ought to be able to pick up
several dollars by taking up this matter.
AS we go to press we learn of the
death of Mrs. Henry 7. Onley, Of Cir
dletree. Mrs. Onley had been in poor
health for sometime due to old age and
the infirmities attendant thereto. She
was good Christian woman, kind and
loving mother, and friend to those in
trouble Mrs. Onley was the widow of
the late Henry T. Onley, one of the
most prominent citizens of Worcester
County during his day. He was an
honored Judge of the Orphans Court,
and active in all that was for the good
of the county. Mrs. onley was rs years
of age. She is survived by two sons and
one daughter, Messrs. Lemuel w. Onley,
Charles E. Onley and Mrs. Glenmore
Hack. Services will be held in Girdle-
tree NJ. Z. Church Saturday afternoon,
after which interment will be made in

Large Crop Of Corn

Mr.. John w. Hall, well known far
mer of Somerset County, makes the
following statement concerning a large
crop of corn to the acreage;
Maryland Twin corn was planted for
the first time by me in May 1910. and
not expecting to make prize crop no
fertilizer or manure of any kind was
used on the land. After the corn began
to grow and make ears it surpassed any
thing that every saw. A great many
persons came to see the corn and it was
pronounced by all who saw it to surpass
any piece of corn seen by odds. After
the fodder was saved got the county
surveyor to come and lay me off one
acre of land where the twin corn grew.
Then gave pressing invitation to all
to come and see the corn and make a
guess what the acre would yield and
would give the man that came the
nearest to guessing the number of BUSH
els the acre would gather one bushel of
the corn. Quite a number of them
made guesses but Rev. r. X. Lewis,
the NJ. P. pastor at Marion Station, Md,
came the nearest to the amount the acre
would yield. guessing 100 bushels to the
acre. The corn was gathered very late
when fully dry and carefully measured
in the presence of witnesses. The yield
was ITO bushels of shelled corn per acre
and weighed 500 pounds to the measur-
ed bushel. The extra pounds were not
counted which would have made nearly
five bushels more to the acre. II grows
ten to twelve feet high. twelve to six
teen rows around small white cob.
Ears are seven to ten inches long. two
to six ears to stock. Meal from this
corn is of the finest quality, pure white
and unexcelled for making corn and
meal cakes of any kind 1t shells out
better than any other corn. II not only
makes large yield of corn but makes
more fodder than any corn have ever
seen and of the finest quality. Forty to
Fifty bushels of shelled corn per acre
is considered large yield here.
