I One Of the saddest things that hal
taken place in this vicinity for some
time is the occurrence of Henry
Stems, a prosperous German ranch
er, whose ranch is just few miles
from this city, losing his mind owing
to the stru ggle going on across the
sea between the allies and his father
land.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Stems have
many and nearly all of their rela-
tives living in the German empire
and owing to the close censorship
placed on news from the war zone
and Germany. especially; letters
written 10 their relatives have re-
turned no reply, consequently Mr.
Stems has been in very gloomy
mood ever since the war broke out.
But last week be seemed to lose all
control Of himself and every stranger
he saw was mistaken for an enemy |
and he was right in for offense or de-
tense, on the slightest provccation.
He vas watched closely for sever

ROCK ISLAND AND
MOLINE MAY MEET
ON The GRIDIRON
Athletic Relations Between the
Two High Schools to
Be Resumed.
PLOW CITY BOARD ACTS
Means Tri-city Football Championship
May Be Decided This Fall
as of Yore.

Rock Island and Moline high schools
are to resume athletic relations and
there is a strong possibility that the
two schools will meet on the football
field this season as the result of a deci-
sion reached last night by the Moline
board of education. The proposition
came up for a vote and was carried
unanimously. 1t only remains for the
athletic boards of control of the two
schools to consent to the resumption
of athletic activities, and no doubt this
will be given, for officials of both
schools have long been DESTROYS OF
patching up differences.
Three years ago relations between
the two schools we're broken of after
trouble which followed a game played
in this city. Agitation has been in
dulged in from time to time to secure
a resumption of relations but without
avail. the Moline board having hereto
fore declined TO took with favor upon
such a move.
II is probable that there will be
game this fall. though both teams have
their schedules practically filed. Rock
Island has an open date Nov. Z, and
while Moline is dated with Galesburg
il may be that this date will. be can
celed. inasmuch as the Knox county
team has shown up so poorly.
Means Revival of Interest.
This year will be the first one in a
decade in which Davenport and Rock
Island have played and the action OF
Moline assures a great revival of in
terest in high school athletics gener-
ally. If Moline and Rock Island play
the game probably will take place in
this city. inasmuch as the Rock Island
Davenport game will take place across
the river and the acknowledgements
game in Moline The Davenport game
will be Nov. II and that in Moline
Thanksgiving day.
The result o; the three contests will
probably establish the tri-city cham
pionship and will be certain to greatly
swell receipts at the gate. Since rela-
tions have been broken = has been
hard to make both ends meet for all
the high school athletic associations.
II the receipts warrant it is probably
that there will be more effort
made 10 develop track athletics and
other branches. Possibly instruments
and uniforms for the newly organized
high school band will be made a pos
sibility.
Trouble which led to the ruptCres
between tri-city schools was not caus- !
ed by the students Or faculty members, /.
but by outsiders. II is planned. II /
there is any further friction OF this
kind, to play in neutral territory, Rock /
Island and Moline in Davenport. Dav- /
export and Moline in Rock Island and /
Rock Island and Davenport in Moline.
