INTEREST SHOWN
IN The JUDICIARY
Democrats Active throughout
the Circuit in Behalf of
Candidates.

Democrats all over this judicial dis
trict are taking a lively interest in
the primaries to be held Oct 5, as the
same prospects of success in the No
vember elections that apply to the sit
uation in a general election are ap-
plicable to the judicial election
Three candidates for the nomination
are before the democratic primaries,
c. B. Marshall and S. r. Kehworthy
Of Rock Island and w. r. Moore of
Moline.
Each is making an active canvass
for the nomination and each has a
host Of friends throughout the circuit
who are putting forth their efforts for
their respective candidate 1t is ex-
pected, therefore, as it is indeed to be
hoped, that the primary election will
bring out a large democratic vote, as
indicative rot only of a desire to Sc
lcct a suitable nominee, but of inter
est on the part Of the party in all
that pertains to the fall elections.

same thing for dinner last night, for
all were so anxious for taste.
The macaroni cheese certainly does
go with it TO perfection, and gives
such q well balanced meal. The corn
fritters came in for a good share Of
praise. so very good were they, ane
SO delicious when served with maple
syrup. if you don't care to serve them
with the fish course.
The lesson on the making and bak-
ing of pastry was much appreciated.
and many of the ladies expect today
to show what they can do in that line.
Miss Gift explained that the real rea-
son she gave the lemon filing for
pie was because so many asked what
could be used besides apple, mince
and raisin. ANY kind of pie, so long
as It wears a cover, will be eligible.
The lemon pie will taste Just as good
Sunday as it does today. So you can
have your dessert ready for tomorrow.
We have no misgivings about today's
contest Every woman is busy trying
to Guido the other in the making. of
cakes, pies and doughnuts, and we
cannot be surprised when we see and
hear of all those valuable things that
are actually given away, free Of cost.
There is nothing common or inferior
about them, but the very best things
that can be bought
Miss Gift has been very gratified at
the attendance each day, in spite of
the very wet weather We have had.
and the manner in which the ladies
have received thelectures. Both she and
Miss Martin declare they have really
enjoyed their short stay in our city,
and hope at some future time to re-
turn. Miss Cliff is above all else ex.
ceedingly practical, and we know ii
/ has been a very pleasant surprise to
! some of the ladies to find out just how
cheaply Miss Cliff can cook and serve
good meal.
The lecture this afternoon concludes
the weeks work Miss Cliff gave g
short business-hke talk on household
helps, suggesting that the only real
true way to be happy In the kitchen is
TO have things to work with. "A place

A GASOLINE CRUSADE NOW
Motorists Say an Inferior Quality Is
Damaging the Cars.

Motorists Say an Inferior Quality Is
Damaging the Cars.
The Kansas City Automobile club
and the state coal oil inspection de-
partment together are going to begin
a crusade against the sale of inferior
gasoline to the motor car owners of
Kansas City.
Inspectors from the state oil depart
ment in the future will test the gaso-
line sold at the supply stations over
Kansas City each week. The results
of the test showing the exact specific
gravity of the gasoline will be posted
in the club rooms of the Kansas City
Automobile club so that each motor
car owner may know just what he is
getting.
Arrangement for the weekly test of
the gasoline was made by Harry d.
Train, president of the automobile
club, and the state oil department
this morning.
Some of the supply stations over
Kansas City have been selling such in
ferior gasoline it has been damaging
the machinery of the motor cars" Mr.
| Train said. New cars have been
taken out and have become clogged
in few days. Then the owners COM
plain to the dealers, putting the blame
on the car when it should go to the
quality of gas. In the last few months
/ the inferior quality of gas sold at some
OF the supply stations has cost the
motor car owners thousands of dol
/ lars"
The state oil department explained
to Mr.. Train that the state law con,
tanned no provision by which the sale
OF poor gasoline could be prosecuted.
! The law merely requires that the spe-
cifc gravity must be placed on the
containing tank And motor car own
ers in hurry for gasoline seldom no.
| tice that.
The state oil department volunteer
ed to furnish the motor car club with
weekly tests of the oil until the law
could be changed at the next legis-
lature.
