POOR PEOPLE IN

Hiss Giles, Visiting Nurse,

Miss Margaret Giles, visiting nurse,
IS finding need for blankets and COM
:'orters in numerous of the homes into
which she is called to minister to the
sick. The approach of winter has found
many of the poorer people without
sufficient coverings for the chilly
nights and as many of these are with
out means of keeping the house warm,
a double hardship results. For the
robust it is uncomfortable to say the
least and for the sick il is often fatal.
In the past Miss Giles has had but
to say the word and anything she
needed in the way of clothing was
forthcoming from the good people of
the city. Believing that an appeal
will not fall on deaf ears, Miss Giles
now asks that people who have blank

case of emergency and such emergen-
cies arise almost every day. People
wishing to give can call her on the teIe-

LEAGUE REFUSES
TO WAIVE RIGHTS

A message from L. NJ. Casteel who
attended the meeting of the Three
Eye league in Chicago today stated
that the league had refused to waive
its territorial rights to Rock Island
and Moline in order that the twin-cit-
les might enter into the proposed
Mississippi Valley Baseball associa-
ton.
This move on the part of the league,
it is understood, will mean that the
question will be taken up with the Ma
Tional association of Minor league
with a view to securing action to the
contrary.
The Three-Eye directors yesterday
reelected A. r. Tearney of Chicago to
the presidency and ]. T. Hayes OF
Davenport to the vice presidency. The
salary limit was increased from $1,000
per month to $4,000. According to the
annual reports, Davenport drew the
largest attendance during the season
