GR0CERS DEMAND
PROMPT PAYMENT
Retailers of Three Cities Com
PEELED to Settle Ev-
cry Week.
SHORTEN CREDIT TO 80 DAYS
Davenport Association Takes Action
Which Probably VIII Be Fol-
lowed Elsewhere

Shortening OF terms OF credit by
wholesalers are likely TO affect the re
lations of consumers and retailers.
While in Rock Island no formal action
has vet been taken the Davenport
Retail Grocers' association has adopt
ed a resolution calling upon the pa
irons OF the members to pay up at
least once q month
The sO-day rule is caused by the &C
ticn of provision and produce men
who a short time ago notified retail
erocers they would have TO settle &C
counts every Monday. This left the
retail grocer but one weeks grace
where he had formerly been accus-
toned TO so days
No not. ceable has been the effect of
the produce mems demand that the
retailers say they can no longer give
the long credits they have extended in
the past Prompt settling of accounts
every 80 days IS TO be insisted on In
many cases customers have been al
lowing their bills TO drag for as long
as six weeks and two months, prac-
tice which is hitting the retail grocery
hard during the present time of tenn
porary business depression.
The new ruling of the provision and
produce men was made two years ago
but has never been enforced until the
present time.
Close Labor Day.
All grocery stores in the three cities
will be closed Labor day and no de-
liveries Will be made. The grocers
decided that this year they would have
real holiday and that curtains would
be down throughout the day. AS Sun
day precedes Labor day housewives
must put In their orders tomorrow and
ore OF the heaviest rush days in the
year Is expected then.

Perhaps the most striking popularity
of Indian music is the lack of definite
pitch, for there is no such thing as
standard pitch among the musicians
of the red men. The Indian begins
his song where the natural quality of
his voice and his mood at the time
render it easiest for him to sing it.

GREAT GAMES Of

FORMER DAYS
Rem .niscences of Cairo High School
Games When the Play Was
New TO Cairo

Now that the football season has
opened in Cairo and the c. H. S.
team has wen its first game, remem-
branccs of past games and glories
como M to the old timers. Probably
the best team that ever represented
the 9. H. S. was the first team to H.
the High School colors.
This team was captained by Ralph
Lister and drilled by Dave Lansden,
Har Y Candce ard others who were
home fresh from Princeton, Cornell
and others of the large colleges, had
all the latest tricks and plays that
were in use by the big teams.
This High school team was only
bea en- once; Thanksgiving Day, and
then only on a nuke touchdown by

NANNY" Phelps. near the end of the
last half, after dark had settled
down over the grounds and the team
had been battered and bombarded by
ex-college football players who aver
aged 20 to 25 pounds heavier.
Truly a good showing for a team
that had never seen football played
before.
Another memorable game was
played the following Christmas day
when the c. II. S. entered the field
with a good strong team that
right on edge. with Dave Lansden
Bert Bristol and Marvin June back
Of the line doing the heavy work.
they were opposed by a team of
picked men who, while not in prae-
tice, were strong in fight and put up
a good game considering they were
putting up strength against science
The picked team had John Jennelle
as quarterback. Will Cunningham
and NANNY" Phelps as half backs,
and John Watkins as full back.
The High School, by scientific
playing, forced the picked team back
down the field until the whistle
saved them in the FIRST half with the
ball on the picked teams two yard
line. No score.
The second half was a repetition
of the first until about minute
of play remained when Watk'n
burst through the right guard takinc
the hall away from Lansden and
started for a run of 80 wards down
the field, but the picked team was
disappointed in scoring, for out of
the tangle Of struggling players
Egbert Blum. who was playing right
end for G. II. s.. raced down the field
in pursuit. overhauling the runner q
the 5-yard line and saved the High
School a defeat.
These two games were the tw
best football games ever played by
the C. II. S. and both teams being
composed of local men makes it more
satisfactory to the Cairo rooters as
it shows that Cairo holds its own
with all outside teams.
