from soil particle to soil particle until
it reaches the surface, where it is used

Leading Figure in Northern
End of County "a Years Old

Henry Saddoris has long been one of
the notable figures of the east end Of
Rock Island county. He came here
from Ohio in 1S47, settling in Coe
township. A few years later he remov-
ed TO the farm near Port Byron, where
he has lived ever since.
Mr. SaddOris is "a years of age and
his physical condition warrants the
hope that he may pass the century
mark, while his mind is clear and he
readily recalls events that took place
many years ago, when he was active in
the affairs of the community and of
the county and led many movements
for social and intellectual advancement
He was one of the organizers of the
Rock Island County Farmers institute
and it's first president Sixteen years
ago he conceived the idea of an annual
neighborhood picnic for the people liv-
ing nearby, and the result was the or
ganizing of the Farmers Picnic asso-
citation, the annual gatherings of which,
held in groves near Port Byron, are
attended by thousands from miles
around Mr. Saddoris was the first
president of the organization, serving
till advancing years necessitated his re-
tirement
Mr. Saddoris was twice married, and
is the father of II children, 10 of whom,
six sons and four daughters, are liv-
ing.

In grain fields the mulch can be form
ed either with a harrow or corrugated
roller. The harrow gives the best re-
suits in hard ground where the roots
are deep, but If the soil is loose the
corrugated roller forms a retaining
mulch and at the same time packs the
soil about the roots. Either nipple
ment can be used to good profit, even
when the grain is beginning to joint

When organic matter becomes thor
oughly rotted and combines with chem

humus. Indirectly it is an important
factor in fertility; in fact. soil devoid
of humus is practically barren. Humus
increases the moisture absorbing abil-
ity of the soil 10 very marked degree
and exerts a decided influence on the
temperature of the ground Barnyard
manure is the best source of humus,

Our Aim.

1t must be manifest to our regular
patrons that our ice cream is uniform
ly good, but in this as IN every branch
oc our business we strive for perfec-
ton.
Raw Materials.
To that desired end, we buy only
the best cream and milk from approx
ed sources and all ingredients are of
high grade. We intend to keep up
to our standard of quality and abso-
lutte uniformity and always be fair in
price. all things considered
Machinery and Labor.
This means that skilled, therefore,
professional labor, must be employed
and that the machinery used be of
modern, approved type, built to pro-
duce the best results under ideal con-
ditions.
A Sanitary Plant.
Furthermore, that the processes
through which the raw materials are
combined to make fully satisfactory
article for our exacting consumers,
must at all stages be under Sanitary
conditions.
The pure food law compass certain
conditions and the state laws also
must be observed. There is a STAN
dard Of excellence that must be main
tained. We do all that is compulsory
and much more. we know, but unless
you visit our factory and watch every
every detail OF manufacture, you
have only your own judgment to
guide you.
The ice cream department is in
charge OF a professional and his
knowledge of milk and cream as well
as the process of manufacturing ice
cream enables him to attend person
ally TO every detail from establishing
the test Of the milk for butter fat,
etc, to the last stage OF manufacture.
Absolute cleanliness is the infiexible
rule of this department and every can,
package. utensil and part OF the ma
chinery used is sterilized daily and
human hands do not come in contact
with the ice cream nor any part of it
at any time.
This means much to you and our
statement OF the facts here mention
ed should be convincing, but to as
sure ourselves as to the correctness of
our methods, materials. machinery
and the conditions under which the
ice cream is made we have recently
had this department examined by an

TWO COMPLAINTS OF
NEW FREIGHT RATES
SHIPPERS OF FARM MACHINERY
AND CANDY OBJECT TO THE
NEW CLASSIFICATION.

Aberdeen, s.. D.-The South Da-
kota railway commissioners were in
session here yesterday, to hear COM

ative to the new western classical
ton No. 81 freigh tariff. With two
exceptions, no complaints OF moment
We're made. The exceptions We're
the farm implement dealers and the
Ward-Owsley company, manufacture
er of candies. The implement men
complained that the new classical
ton prohibits the combining of ship
ments of farm implements and farm
machinery with binder Irvine, as
was allowed under the old classif-
cation. 1t has been the custom,
where a car was lot completely fill
ed with a shipment of farm machin-
cry to fill up the remaining space
with binder Irvine. This cannot be
one under the new classification. The
complaint will go to the Interstate
Commerce commission for a hearing.
The Ward-Owsley complaint was
based on the fact that under the old
classification candies valued at less
than Is cents a pound We're shipped
under third class rates and all others
We're shipped under first class. The
new classification combines all can
dies, regardless of value, under the
second class rate.
The Ward-Owsley company stated
90 per cent of its shipments were
under the old third class rate and
that the new classification raised the
rate on 90 per cent of the shipments
and lowered it on but 10 per cent.
The matter has been taken up by
the National Confectioners' Associ-
alton, which will deal directly with

Washington, ID. c. President
Taft sent a message to congress to-

minutes after it was read in the
House that body passed II bill MAX

pose. The bill was rushed over to
the Senate, where it also was passed,
and was e n to the president for

the entire Louisiana delegation in
the House has called upon him and
pictured the destruction being work
ed by the flood.
After all arrangements had been
perfected yesterday afternoon for
rushing a $4,000 appropriation

Mississippi river is straining at 200
miles of levee, which has broken in
several places and flooded large
areas. Breaks at Hickman, Ky, and
at Memphis have made thousands
homeless and done untold damage.
Sufficient warning had been given
however, and to date only two lives
have been reported lost. Two thou
sand persons at Hickman are suffer
ing actual hunger, while trains with
food supplies cannot be run into the
city.

WILSON A WINNER

Washington, ID. C~.-Senator La
Toilette was highly pieased today
with the news OF the result of the
presidential preference primary held
yesterday in Wisconsin. LaFollette
says That, as TINS gives him a total

the race for the republican nomin-

for a western tour through Nebraska
and thence on to the coast.
Milwaukee, Wis.-Dr. Gerald A..
Bading, former health commissioner
of Milwaukee, was elected mayor
over Mayor Seidel. socialist, in yes
t" days municipal election in the
city of Milwaukee. Bading's plurality
over Seidel was 1864. The total
vote was 74,23G and nearly all the
non-partisan ticket headed by Bad
ing was successful.
In the state presidential primary,
LaFollette secured the entire delega-
ton OF 26 votes, meaning that he
carried the state and each congress-
ional district. The exact figures will
not be known until tomorrow. Among
the democrats, Woodrow Wilson has

However, this afternoon the Clark

by a two to n vote. Similar re-
turns were received from Eau Claire,
