DEPUTY CLASHES
WITH A PEODLER
Acting Sheriff Has An Expert
ence in Which He Is Rough
ly Handled.

Acting Sheriff George Siemon has
not been on duty for the past three
or four days as resui. of a battle
with a deaf and dumb lead pencil
peddler, according to reports which
are current. One afternoon this week
q peddler entered the sheriff's Office
and attempted to sell his wares.
The peddler was ordered out of the
Office by Siemon and when he did not
move as rapidly as Siemon deemed
advisable, the deputy sheriff helped
him along. The two men then mixed
it in likely fashion, the peddler tear
ing Siemon's shirt from his back and
beating him severely.
This morning when asked regarding
the affair, the acting sheriff denieC
that he had been roughly handed
There was some little trouble hi

GIRL STRIKER
GIVES ADDRESS
Miss Belle Youint of the Kala
mazoo, Mich, Corset Fac
tory Is in Rock Island.

Miss Belle Youint, a representative
of the strikers of the Kalamazoo Cor
set factory OF Kalamazoo. Mich, was

per cent since the girls baked on the
low wage scale.

QUIET FOURTH is
HUGELY ENJOYED
BY LOCAL PEOPLE
Rock Island Spends Unusually
Sane Day Because of Ban
on Toy Pistols.
ACCIDENTS ARE SCARCE
Races at Exposition Grounds and on
the River Attract Crowds-
Parks Well Attended.

1t might as well be Sunday as far
as Rock Island Is considered today.
The glorious Fourth was spent so
quietly that some good intention
ed people started to church to engage
in their weekly devotions, but were
soon deferred from their pious notions
by an occasional firecracker explosion.
START EARLY.
The public started early for the
parks and on auto trips. By o'clock
ing for the broad fields and the leafy
dells, in an attempt to find a shady
nook The parks of Rock Island,
Davenport and Moline were all visited
by big crowds who will probably stay
out in the open as long as possible,
taking their dinners and supper in
basket style.
LITTLE NOISE.
Perhaps Rock Island never had as
quiet and as sane a Fourth as that
enjoyed today. This was>perhaps due
to the state law relative to the sale
1 of toy pistols. Chief Brinn had is
sued strict orders that arrests would
follow any attempt of merchants tc
sell the dangerous pistols and as q
result the boys of the city had tC
content themselves largely with the
crackers. And parents and the lads
themselves were evidently confused as
| to whether even the omnipresen
cracker could be bought and as a re
suit the telephones at the police sta
ton were kept hot all day with anxious
inquiries regarding the matter. Wher
told that they could be used, invari
ably the questioner gave a sigh o.
relief and the boys went back to theil
punk to resume their fun.
LOCAL FEATURES.
This afternoon there are horse
races on at Exposition park and motor
boat races on the river. A racing
program and other features are SEIZED
uled for Joslin race tracks, while Nc
line, Geneseo, Mathersville, Andalusi;
and other neighboring towns are en-
tertaining big crowds with special Gel
ebrations.

HOLIDAY LUNCH BASKET.


There is no end to the good things
one can have already prepared for
a summer holiday, such as sweet or
sour pickles, ripe or stuffed olives,
deviled ham, chicken, roast beef, ham,
cold tongue, all kinds of cheese
lunch cheese, deviled cheese, Swiss,
pimento and many others-baked
beans, veal loaf, baked macaroni or
spaghetti and cheese, all kinds of
cakes, breads and rolls; ginger ale,
birch beer, root beer, wild cherry,
grape juice, pineapple juice, lime and
lemon juice.
Surely, with some of the above all
in readiness and others which may
be prepared the day before the holi-
day, the luncheon and supper should
not be hard meals to get. There is
one thing which will tighten the work
almost more than the cooking and
that is using paper tablecloths, tow
els, napkins, paraffine paper, drinking
cups and paper plates.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: AS you
have helped me so many times be-
fore, l am coming again for advice.
~ Should a daugher-in-law go in
deep mourning for her husbands
father, or can white and black be
worn? (2) DO you consider it proper
for young man of twenty-one to call
on a married woman of thirty when
her husband Is at home? / went to
church service a short time ago and
my husband was at home when
young man from Georgia called. My
people and his have lived in one flat
and he moved South seven years ago,
when he was only little boy. He
knew ! was married, but wanted to
get acquainted with my husband and
also had messages from his mother
for me, but my husband never asked
him in after he first called and my
husband has made me a nervous
wreck.
Am only married year next month
and nay hands tremble like a person
Of ninety years old.
SAD FRIEND.
% Half mourning would be SUI.
ficient, but If you wish to please your
husband it might be well to wear full
mourning for six months. All white
mourning is very fashionable now.
(2) can see no harm in the young
man calling upon you under the cir
cumstances you name, and your hus
band is very foolish and unkiad to al
low jealousy to get the upper hana OF
him. If your husband is brutal tc
you and your health is suffering, bet
ter leave him for awhile. Go on &

Matter Held Up Pending Report of
City Engineer on Cost of

Prospects continue to grow brighter
for the acquiring of the Island City

stated, the matter now rests upon the
report of the city engineer, who is pre-
pairing an estimate of the expense of
making a ill On the low ground at
the north end of the tract, outside Of
the present park enclosure. The plan
is for the city to take over the por-
ton within the fence, and the board of
education the strip of almost equal
area at the north.
Speaking TO an Argus representa-.
tive one of the city commissioners
said: Il think voice the sentiments
of every other member of the commits

would be an act of negligence on the
part of the city to allow this park TO

HIRED MAN KNEW THE GAME
hls Dsxterlty on First sase surprised the Youngsters Until They Learned
 More of He Career.

In the American Magazine Hugh s. Fullerton writes an article entitled The Making of @ Big Leaguer." It is the story of one of the greatest ball players in the United States as told by himself to Mr. Fullerton. This player was country boy and. of course, began to play the game early. He tells the following story about an incident of his boyhood:
 Father had a hired man named Ned. tall, quiet fellow with pair of blue eyes that seemed always about to laugh1 but seldom did. He had been with us year. He got drunk perl odically. and after each spree father hunted him up and brought him back to work. We asked him to play with us, and he laughed and said he reck- oned he would try to play first base If paw would let him ofY fixed 1t with father, and Ned played first barehand- ed. making catches and stops that filled us with astonishment Also he made five home runs, two into the railroad pond and three into the barn lot back of left field. Walking home that evening he told me he had played ball professionally. yet it was not until two years later that learned he once had been a famous outfielder with a great team"

SALAD MAKING.

All hostesses like to serve salads attractively and we are all longing to find some new and fetching way of presenting old materials.
 Almost anything it is said except milk and flour may be made into a salad. yet we gould avoid the com bination of foods which do not har- monize as we avoid inviting to our tables those whom we know are not congenial to our friends.
 Carrots, potatoes, turnips and such vegetables are cooked before combin- ing in salad. Cut in cubes, or balls. Beets are sliced or if small left whole
 Food value should come first in the making of salad especially where it is to form the main part of a meal. like a luncheon.
 Then the arranging and garnishing Is a feature most important. Who has not turned away from perfectly good and wholesome salad because IL looked mussy and unattractive? The perfection of combination and flavor count for nothing if the salad has been carelessly prepared.
 When meats and potatoes are used a salad is always improved if these stand in seasoned dressing for a while before combining.
 If green plants as lettuce, cress. par sley and such green things are used, they should be crisp and fresh.
 Rings from red and green peppers the coral of the tomato in fact there is no color combination which cannot be delightfully."- managed with vegeta- bles.
 The point to salad Is its flavor, and if 1t is elusive and unnamable so much the better. we all like mystery in a degree even in our food.
 The salad dressing is another i'm portant consideration. The simplest Is the French, the most popular Is mayonnaise.
 For French dressing one part of vinegar with three parts oil is good proportion, with salt and pepper to taste A teaspoonful of powdered sugar is liked by many.
