Object of Petition Being Cir
culated to Present to City
Commission.

Within a week petitions probably
will be presented to the city commits
ticn urging the passage of an ordi-
nance divcrcing saloons here from
brewery control. Petitioners advance
the argument that freedom from in
fluence of the breweries would improve
conditions so tina: the best interests
CT the saloons, as we.l as OF the gen
eral Public. would be conserved. The
text of the petitions now being circu-
lated is as follows:
We. the undersigned citizens OF
Moline. believing that breweries now
engaged in operating and controlling
saloons are lowering the standard of
saloons in the city of Moline, and be-
lieving that the best interests Of this
community would be subserved by
divorcing the breweries from any con-
troll of the saloons. respectfully petit
ticn your honorable body to pass an
ordinance prohibiting the issuance OF
any saloon license hereafter 10 any
person or persons, firm or corporation,

LOCAL TEACHERS
LEAD THE FIGHT
Organized Effort to Be Made tC
Secure Pension and Retire
ment Law.

Moline and Rock Island teacher $
propose TO take leading part in the
fight for a teachers pension and re,
tirement fund. They will make a
campaign before the legislature at its
mex; session and thereafter, if unsuc-
cessful, till relief is secured. Local
teachers will work through the Twin
City Teachers club. Miss Anna
Wright. principal of the Ericsson
school. and chairman of the pension
and insurance committee, is working
to bring the members of the profes-
sicn together in favor of certain act,
instead of pulling at cross purposes
as was done last year
I'VE have found" she said, that
unOrganiZed efforts are wasted and in
future we propose TO join our efforts
toward a common end. The legisla.
ture cannot be expected to pay much
attention TO the requests of individ.
uals or a small organization from
some district or city. but when all the
teachers Of the state make a demand
they will have to listen"
1t is likely that the Twin-City Teach
ers' club will join the state feder
alton as that organization seems &c
offer the most convenient means OF
getting together
Working with the twin-city teach
ers are those at FreepOrt. where bill
has been drafted and is being circu
lated throughout the state as model
Local teachers say that this bill rep
resents about what they desire IN the
way of legislation.

An interesting Flower Family

OF all the many attractions that
Mother Nature has for her children,
the wild flowers at this season of
the year are most beautiful.
The fields and roadsides are
many of them a mass of blue and
gold made so by the gorgeous gold
enrods and asters; at the same time
the gardens are gay with golden
glow, dahlias, zinnias, ETC., all men,
bers of the great plant family known
as the Composites, whose 10000
members are widely distributed over
the face of the earth.
Perhaps someone asks why we
call thse plants composites. Let US
look at the flower cluster made up
of many, tiny flowerets grouped upon
disc and surrounded by bright ray
flowers usually of another color.
Most of these brightly colored bios
SONS attract the insect on whom
their poIlination depends, as many
hower-heads bear both staminate
and pistiIlate blossoms, which ma
ture at different times.
The seed dispersal Of this family
is as wonderful and varied as. the
flowers themselves. Some members,
as the dandelions, thistles, golden
rods, asters and hawkweeds bear
cottony seeds which are blown about
by the winds. The curious barbed
seeds of the stick-tights cling to
the clothing of people and the wool
and fur of animals and thus are
carried to the places best suited to
their termination. The seeds of
many others as daisies, yarrOw, etc.,
are scattered in waste places and
are used as food by birds.
1t is an interesting fact to note
that some of these plants are good
friends of the human race, as the
dandelion which is both a food and
medicinal plant, and tansy and bon
eset and others, are used as medici-
nal plants.
The proverbial BLACK Sheep of
! the family wears a gorgeous red and
orange coat and is known as Orange
Hawkweed, one of the worst plant
pests with which the farmer has to
cope. AS each blossom head, if
allowed to mature, will produce
from 20 to SO new plants, this
hawkweed should be cut in full
bloom and burned to prevent seed
distribution.
At the Fairbanks Museum at the
present time, the family is represent
ed by IL species of goldenrods, many
asters, the hawkweeds, tansy, bon
eset, three thistles, chicory, burdock,
three everlastings, may-weed, pine
apple-weed, horse-weed, feabane,

to maintain strict neutrality between
the warning factions, hold them
strictly responsible for any damage
to Americans or their property and
allow them to fight it out undisturb-
ed. He closed his address to con-
gress as follows:-"The steady pres
sure of moral force will before many
days break the barriers of pride and
prejudice down and we shall tri-
umph as Mexico's friends sooner
than we could triumph as her enc
mies-and how much more hand
somely, with how much higher and
finer satisfactions of conscience and
honor"
Possibly President Wilson has
gone too far in attempting to die
tate who shall not be candidates for
president in Mexico, we think he did,
but we heartily endorse his purpose
not to open hostilities with that
country. The prospect for law and
decency in Mexico does not seem
bright as there is too large a proper
ton of Mexico's population without
property or responsibility. To the
bandit class guerilla warfare is very
attractive and until they are out
numbered and subdued by a mass
of law abiding people peace in Mex
leo is uncertain. But we had much
better allow them to settle the diff
ficulty than to undertake to inter
fere there ourselves.

The Mexican Situation

All Americans sincerely regret
that the mission of Ex-Gov. John
Lind of Minnesota to Mexico has
failed and that there is no prospect
of the immediate cessation of hos
tilities in that unfortunate republic.
ciate the frank and full statement
of the situation President Wilson
made before the Congress of
the United States. Put in
the fewest words President Wilson
asked for an armistice between the
warning factions of Mexico, provi-
sion made for an early election par
ticipated in by all classes of cleo
tors, the pledge of Gen. Huerta that
he would not be a candidate for
the presidency and the agreement of
all parties to abide by the results of
the election.
EDIT
Each one of these propositions was
refused the Huerta government
claiming it had complete control in
twenty-five of the thirty-one politi-
cal divisions of the country, that
it could not recognize the belligeren-
cy of the bandits in rebellion, thai
Gen. Huerta should not be asked to
eliminate himself from Mexican pol
itics and asked that the Huerta gov
eminent be Immediately recognized.
In view of this declination the
president urges the American peo-
pie to fee from Mexico. this country

MUSEUM NOTES
Flower Tables Very Attractive
Great Showing of Ferns


A very attractive spot just at this
time, are the flower tables at the
Fairbanks Museum. One hundred
and two different plants are shown,
among which are Towering plants,
ferns and grasses.
The ferns form a most interesting
group on account of their beautiful
and graceful fronds and their very
unique ways of fruiting. On the
under side of each frond are irregu-
lar clusters of tiny organs, each
bearing a large number of spores.
In some varieties the margins of the
frond are rolled under to protect
whole ranks of spore sacks. Other
varieties have separate clusters of
spore sacks along with the veins of
the frond while a few kinds have
separate fruiting fronds.
The shape of the fruit clusters
gives the name to the family to
which the fern belongs as, for ex-
ample, the shield ferns and spleen
worts. The grape ferns are so
named from the resemblance of their
fruiting frOnds to a cluster of grapes.
The ostrich fern from the graceful,
plume-like fronds, maiden-hair from
the dark, hair-like stems, and the
sensitive fern from it's sensitiveness
to touch. The common ferns may
be seen growing by highways in OPP
en- fields and marshes and in wood
lands. The maidenhair, oak ferns,
Christmas ferns, bladder ferns and
several of the shield ferns love the
cool, messy woods. In many places
in the open fields there is a carpet
of marsh shield fern and also of
hay-scented fern. The lady-rern
(commonest of alb grows along the
highways, in the fence rows and
near to our homes; and almost as
common, may be found bracken, the
osmundas, sensitive ferns and os-
trich ferns.
In the Fairbanks Museum are
shown a great variety of our YER
mont ferns, including marginal shield
fern, intermediate spinulose shield
fern, spinulose shield fern, Boots
shield fern, crested shield fern,
Christmas fern, incised Christmas
fern, ternate grape fern, cut
leaved grape fern, lady fern,
narrow-leaved spleenwort, silvery
spleenwOrt, ebony spleenwort, os-
trich fern, sensitive fern, common
polypody, rusty woodsia, hay-scented
fern, long beech fern, bulblet blad-
der fern and maiden-hair fern.
The precipitation for the past
month was LA inches, the lowest
August record in 20 years.
