tory Of his team. He did most OF tho
defensive play. making a majority Of
the tackles for his team and was the
best ground gamer for mis- team as
well. He scored the first touchdown
on a run through a broken field from
his own 45-yard line and crossed Rock

on returning punts, MacManus twisted
and squirmed through the Illini for
long gains and half dozen attempts
at tackling him were usually made be-
fore he was brought Gown.
Opposed to Caulfeld was Solder

school team in Moline. Though injur-
ed several times, Caulfield stuck to his
post and went through the lllini line
so often that it caused the Illini back

into fighting mood and was warned
by officials that he was in danger of
being suspended for the remainder of
the game.
Grove at left end, SalZmann at left
tackle and Budelier at right guard
proved impregnable in the line.
Coach Dick Lift was well pleased
with the showing his team made in its
first game and is confident that it will
be a contender for state honors. Man.

INVISIBLE LIGHT.
Only When II Strikes the Retina of ths
Eye Can II Be Seen.

Only When II Strikes the Retina of ths
Eye Can 1t Be Seen.
What is the simplest demonstra ton
of the fact that light is invisible?
The biackness Of a midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.
We may see the planets brilliantly illu-
minated by the suns rays, but the sur
rounding space is dark, although we
know that light must be passing there
The passage Of a beam OF light
through a darkened room is only visi-
BE on the dust in the air, and the cone
Of light seen when the sun shines
through q small hole in q shutter is
not visible. but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This can
be easily and simply demonstrated by
placing in the beam a glass vessel
from which the dust has been careful
~ removed The beam then may be
seen before and behind the vessel. but
Is invisible within. A Bunsen burner
or 4 redhot poker held so as to destroy
the notes will also render the beam
invisible at that spot.
Light IS only visible when II strikes
on the reina Of the eye, and II can
only do so when it reaches it in a di-
rect line or is turned by a reflection or
refraction into a direct line Just as
the bullets from a gun do a man no
harm unless aimed or turned in their
course toward his body, so light is
without effect unless it is aimed OF
turned toward the retina.-Pearson' S
Weekly.

FORM or outdoor life, according to an
article in Success Magazine. They
police the earth and air, and without
their services the farmer would be
helpless. Larks, wrens and thrushes
search the ground for grubs and in
sects. The food of the meadow lark
consists of 10 per cent OF injurious
insects and IL per cent of weed seed
showing it to be bird Of great eco
nomic value. Sp2rrows, fnches and
quail eat large amount of weed seed.
Practically all the food OF the tree
sparrow consists OF seed. Examina-
tons by Professor +. +. L. Beal of the
biological survey of the department of
agriculture show that single tree
sparrow Will eat quarter of an ounce
OF weed seed daily. In a state the
size of Iowa tree sparrOws alone will
consume more than 500 tons of weed
seed annually. This, with the work
of other seed eating birds. saves the
farmer an immense amount Of work.
Nuthatcbes and chickadees scan
every part OF the trunks and limbs OF
trees for insect eggs In Il days time
a chickadee has been known to eat
hundreds of insect eggs and worms
that are very harmful to our trees
and vegetables. Warblers and vireos
hunt the leaves and buds for moths
and miIlers. Flycatchers. swallows and
night hawks are busy day and night
catching flies that bother man and

terday put themselves in the running
for the Tri-City football championship
by taking the Moline Illini into camp,
6 to 0, in a hard fought game played
at Browning Field, Moline. The locals
scored their touchdown IN the first
quarter and thereafter the battle was
about even, neither side being able
to cross the others goal line or even
gain consistently though in offensive
work the Rock Islanders had the better
OF the argument. At>the close of the
game, the Illini had the ball and were
fighting hard for a touchdown but the

on the 12-yard line.
FIERCE DEFENSIVE GAME.
Neither team was especially strong
on the ofense but at the defensive
game both did some excellent work
Clean, hard tackling was the rule and
there were many instances of the
teams being piled up three times il

Forward passes were frequent but
most of them were broken up by the
local players. Clinton was on the ag-
gressive most of the time and that the
score was not larger was due entirely
TO unusually good defens work i'll

Gleason and WilICt starred.

did Rock Island threaten to score

northern part of Mercer county.
Taylor Ridge won both games Satur-
day through superior playing, in which
the home club was materially assist

Harry Kelley, and one Pete" Wilson,
sometimes known as Pete Lister, both
being from Rock Island, playing re-
