Stolen by Stranger.

The black leather medicine case
which yesterday the police claimed
was found on Second avenue Sunday
night, it was learned today was found
in the possession of John Fox, a
stranger here, and who was this morn
ing bound over TO the grand jury with
bonds fixed in the sum of $500 for the
theft of the grip.
The police gave out the information
about the finding of the case to locate
its owner, and last evening, DR.. A. +.
Williams, whose Office is in the Sala
apartments, went to the station and
identified the emergency grip as his
own.
a charge Of larceny was preferred
against Fox, who, when arrested by
Detective Sehnert and Officer Sullivan,
claimed that he was a chauffeur and
that the grip was a kit of tools.
The police opened it and found that
it was an emergency grip and immed-
lately set about to find the physician
TO whom it belonged. This morning
Fox plead guilty and Justice KUehl
held him TO the grand jury. The case

The CITY A VISIT
Director General of the Pan
American Union Guest at
Rock Island Club.

John Barrett, director general OF the
Pan-American union, arrived in ROCK
Island at O'Clock last evening from
Davenport. and was a guest of the
Rock Island club for a short time
About 80 members were present TO re
ceive him. and after an introduction
he was shown about the club rooms
He congratulated the members upon
the excellent building and club facili-
ties. Mr. Barrett left the club about
$50 for Moline. where he was enter
tanned al a dinner by the after-dinner
club. The Pan-American union is an
international association with an Office
maintained by u American republics,
controlled by a governing board. Mr..
Barrett cordially invited any of the
members who happened 10 be in Wash
ington later TO look him up.
Mr.. Barrett is 33d degree. dyed-in-
the-wool fan. AS soon as he arrived
at the club he asked for the final re-
suits of the Athletics-Bosto game.
When informed that the Braves had
won the third game, he said. Gentle
men, I am happy" He listened atten-
lively to the story of the final innings
of the great battle. and when told of
Gowdy's two doubles and home run,
became enthusiastic over the Boston
catcher Mr.. Barrett formerly lived
near Boston.

Il would be too much to vouch for
everything which may get past under
such an arrangement.
To avoid confusion, The Argus will
on that day dispense with its Moline
section, while the Dispatch will elm
mate the Rock Island page. Copies
of both newspapers will be deliverei
10 all subscribers of either in the two
cities and suburbs.
II is felt that this contest will be of
great benefit to the pupils of the par
ttcipating schools. especially TO those
who engage in the reporting of the
news. The average person has but a
vague idea of what news is, because
he has thought little about the sub
ject from the standpoint of the one
who writes or furnishes the stories
which appear in the newspapers. The
competition will turn the thoughts of
the students in this direction for the
time being, and the lesson will be a
valuable one as a practical training in
meeting actual conditions and putting
facts and impressions into plain Eng
Hsh.
Rock Island and Moline offer a field
probably not duplicated elsewhere in
the country for a contest of this sort,
being nearly equal in population. with
schools of about the same number of
students TO draw from and with little
to choose between the two cities as to
sources of news and facilities for
handling it.

DISINTERESTED. BUT IS MAKING A
PERSONAL CAMPAIGN FOR TAVENNER

Paul Rankin, mayor of the quaint
little village of Rapids City. which
nestles in the hills along the Missis-
sippi. has suddenly become a politi-
clan. He is campaigning for the re-
election of Clyde H. Tavenner to con-
gress.
Mayor Rankin. who has been an eX-
tensive traveller in his time, says he is
not a candidate for any Office and does
not intend to be, that his aid has never
been solicited, and that he is spending
his own money to help Tavenner and
does not want to be reimbursed: that
the personal satisfaction he is getting
out of his efforts is all the compensa-
ton he desires. Mayor Rankin says
he is going to campaign for Tavenner
up to election day simply because he
believes the young congressman is try
ing to do something worth while for
the people, and deserves the encourage
ment of the voters, regardless of their
politics.
Entirely on his own initiative, Mayor
Rankin is sending the following letter
to $50 "doubtfuls'' in Rock Island coun-
ty, and the mayors letter proves that
he is something of a Tayenner enthLs-
last:

lampblack or SCOT. The smoker fuels
also give off tarry vapors, which con-
dense the help to gather the carbon
particles into flames or 'smuts.'
For the burning of these gases as
they are evolved from the coal three
conditions must exist: Air must be
supplied above the fuel bed, the tenn
perature must be high enough to in
sure ignition and there must be time
or space for combustion before the
mixing currents of gas and air are
cooled by flowing into or among the
tubes of the boiler"
Firing coal in large quantities pro-
duces so much gas that neither air
supply nor combustion space is great
enough for its burning. Therefore coal
should be put on in small quantities at
frequent intervals.

cal News for One Day. Oct. %,
Will Be Winner.

Thursday. Oct. %, The Argus and
the Moline Dispatch will turn over
their local columns to reportorial STATS
selected from the high schools of their
respective cities in what bids fair to
be the most unique newspaper enter
prise ever launched in the two cities.
These amateur news gatherers will
collect and write the news of the day
as they see il, the only stipu-
lation being that it be proper
matter for publication and shall not
reflect upon the policies for which the
respective newspapers stand.
II is to be a contest between the two
high schools and is to be an annual
affair. The two newspapers jointly
have offered a cup TO be awarded the
the winner and TO be retained perma-
nently when won three times in sue
cession. Competent newspaper men
outside the three cities will be the
judges and they will base their de-
cision upon the manner in which the
news of the respective cities is covered.

ment of topics. originality, grammati-
cal construction. spelling. etc. In
short, the school which most nearly
conforms to the accepted newspaper
standards will win. If Rock Island
wins it will be known as the ARGUS
Dispatch" cup. If Moline wins it will
be the "Dispatch-Argus" cup.
OF course the number of student re-
porters will be limited. Each school
will select Is representative boys
and girls and they will be in charge
of an instructor who will have general
direction of the disposition of the force
and will also act as copy reader on
behalf of the school. Members of the
regular STATS of the two newspapers
will, of course. write the headings
The efforts of the students will be con-
fined to the local news columns and
editorial comment Other features
will be handled by members of the
regular staff as usual.
Public Can Help.
Obviously it viii be necessary to
supply the student reporters with a
list of the regular news sources in
each city, and it is anticipated that
those who have news for publication
will enter into the spirit of the COM
petition and come through" with
stories without having to be pump
ed" Naturally, Rock islanders will
wish to see the local high school win.
while the Moline school will have the
of similar support from
Pillow city residents.

What we have done is just repeal the

rest do"

Start now, look up the record of
Clyde H. Tavenner who is up for re-
election on the democratic ticket. Find
out what he has done, examine the
records and note his efforts to secure
a great increase in work at the ar
senal which will mean work for hun
dreds of our unemployed. Note his
effort to have the government manu-
facture many munitions of war that
are now being done by contract. See
what a great saving this would mean
aside from the employment it would
give to our local people Note his eff
fort to get something for our district

when his critics are making false
statements and throwing mud, ne is
declining the opportunity to return to
the district and fight his campaign be-
cause he feels that his people should
be represented in congress at a time
when many things of vital Importance
are to be considered. He is there to
fight for us even at a sacrifice to him
self and if we are appreciative men
We will get out and fight for the man
who has been tried and found true. We
must send him back to congress TO
complete the work he has begun and
which will remain unfinished unless he
is allowed TO go back. We need him
there perhaps more than he wishes

We have seen what he has done and
what he is trying to. and will do for
