officials of the department determined
upon the investigation because of com

OF the chickens crops were puffed cut

of representative number OF people.
They want to see some one else ex-
hibit a little enthusiasm before they
back up the club.

to be an interested spectator to the
alleged straw vote being taken by one
of the Rock Island papers over the
