GOOD COOKS IN
ROCK ISLAND?
The Argus Thinks So and Will
Give the Ladies Chance
to Prove It.
COOKING SCHOOL CONTEST
Valuable Prizes Win Be Given for
Best Cakes, Pies and Dough
nuts Entered.

1t is customary at the conclusion
Of a course of study to hold an examin-
alton. That is one reason for con-
Quoting a baking contest on the last
day Of the Argus cooking school. Be
sides that, we want to show Mrs. Arm
strong that 4 woman does not neces-
sarily have to be a graduate OF the
Boston cooking school in order to cook
food that's fit TO eat.
Auy woman who attends the cooking
school is eligible TO compete in the bak-
ing contest. Three kinds of articles
can be entered: j. C, cakes, pies, and
doughnuts. These articles are to be
delivered at the y. NJ. c. A. auditor
ium between 1000 a. m. and noon on
Saturday, Feb. 4th. No articles will
be accepted after 1900 O'Clock. A
woman can submit articles in all three
classes If she desires. When an arti-
Gle is presented, a number will be as
signed TO it so that the judges will not
know who entered the cake, pie, or
doughnuts, and in that way all chances
of partially Will be avoided.
FOR BETHANY HOME
After the decisions of the judges
have been announced, the various arti-
cles submitted will be sold, the en-
tire proceeds being given to Bethany
home for the purpose of carrying on
their excellent work. Here is an OPP
portunity to do a charitable act and
also provide some excellent baked
goods for Sunday dinner.
The only condition of the contest
is that no other frying or shortening
medium: than cottolene is to be used in
the articles entered, the doughnuts TO
be fried in cottolene as well. Natur-
ally every cake entered will have to
contain a shortening element and
therefore sponge and angel food cakes
which do not require shortening will
not be eligible for entry.
We wish to say in this connection
that Mrs. Armstrong long ago discard
ed hog lard from her kitchen. She
realizes that hog pr cducts are hard to
digest ard therefore should be avoid
ed as much as possible. This is no
hardship as far as a shortening medi-
um is concerned, because cottolene not
only replaces lard. but is greatly SUI
perior in many respects. It makes
is used, besides being easily digested.
In the case of cake, cottolene is used
instead of butter according to the
terms of this contest. Mrs. Armstrong
will make a cottolene cake during the
cooking school and the Rock Island
housewife who experiments with a cot
tolene cake will learn something to her
advantage financially at least, because
cottolene costs less in the first place
than butter and goes a great deal far
ther in its shortening properties.
FINE ARRAY OF PRIZES.
AS reward for the skill of contes-
tants, there have been assembled a
fine array of prizes TO be given the
woman whose entries are judged to be
the best.
The prize for the best cake will
be Hoosier kitchen cabinet Nearly
half of the kitchen cabinets in use at
the present time are Hoosiers. This
shows the character of that particular
brand. The woman who wins this fine
kitchen cabinet will be delighted, be-

BE A HOME TOWN BOOSTER.

1t is said that every man west of
the Missouri rivev is a booster, and
simply cannot help being one, The
staidest old easterner gets the infec-
tion and turns to be booster as soon
as he gets into that country. The
thing he should have learned was how
to grow into d booster and stay right
at home, where perhaps there was
much more worthy of boosting than
in the place he went to.
We are apt to overlook the merits
of the town we have long lived in,
and to see the supposed alluring
advantages of some other town in
another state. We say the old town
is slow and we want to go where
there is more life. forgetting that ii
is the people themselves who make a
town lively or slow. There is a class
in every town that opposes improve
ment and action because it would add
few cents to their taxes, and then
they growl and knock the place be-
cause it does not grow faster.
If we could only look more often on
the bright side of the picture. speak
we'll of our town on every posi- bic
occasion, help along every worthy
enterprise and all do what we can to
boost, we would see our towns take on
an activity and life that many of
them do not now possess.
Every man should be a believer in
and booster for his home town.

TICKLE PUBLIC SENTIMENT

Teddy, the strenuous one. is now on
another speaking tour around the
country but is exciting practically
no attention. 1t is queer what a
difference a few months make. We
are to quite an extent nation of hero
worshippers. When the ex president
came home from Africa his every
word and action were noted and re-
ported as though our salvation depend
ed upon them. Now the country is
largely Indifferent as to what he says
and does. History repeats itself.
When on the first of May, 1898
Admiral Dewey sailed iuto Manila
bay and destroyed the Spanish feet in
such a sensational manner, without
the loss of a single man on his own
ships, he became the idol Of thu. people
of the United States and the hero of
the world. When he returned to This
country few months later he was
given about such an ovation as that
which greeted Mr.. Roosevelt on his
return and movement was at once
started, as was also the case with
Roosevelt. to make him a candidate
for the presidency. Then came the
peoples gift of a splendid home to
Admiral Dewey and the deplorable
conflict soon after, over his deciding
the home to his new wife. Worship
of the hero of Manila at once ceased
and now he is seldom heard of
The election result in the state Of
New York put big crimp into Roose
yelt's popularity and showed us once
more that in the popular mind moth
ing succeeds like success = So long
as man is on the up grade and
winning victories the people give him
loud applause but when he meets with
defeat we see the clay feet of the idol
and turn away our allegiance Such
is fckleness of the popular will

OUITMAN The SCENE OF
A BLOODY TRAGEDY
Robert Howell Kills John
Odum There

Quitman, Ga, March IA tragedy
occurred at Nankin, ten miles south
of Quitman, early this morning, in
which John Odum was almost instant
ly killed by Robert Howell. Howell,
accompanied by his aged mother were
at the store of c. l. knight, about :
o'clock.
Mrs. Howell was making purchases
and her son was sitting On the coun-
ter in the store when Odum entered.
Mr. Knights attention was attracted
by a noise and he looked around to
see Howell striking Odum with a
buggy whip.
Suddenly Howell grabbed a Win
chester shotgun nearby and pointing
it at Odum fired, the charge entering
near the heart, causing Odum's deajh
in a few minutes.
1t is said the men had had fight
about Christmas, in which Howell got
the worst of it, and it is supposed that
it was a renewal of this trouble that
caused the killing. Those in the store,
however, did nc. hear any words pass
ed between the two men.
Odum was about "A years old and
Holwell is 50. Both men were white
and well known in the Nankin sec
tion.
