School House Burned.

Hemingway, November 24:-The
school building at Johnsonville was
burned Monday afternoon, the blaze
being first discovered about3 o'clock,
It is reported that the fire was
caused by a spark falling upon the
roof and the shingles being extreme
ly dry caught quickly and the. flames
soon spread over the entire roof. Some
school children saw the blaze when
it was quite small. but being unable
to get q ladder of sufficient length,
were unable to do anything of con-
sequence toward checking the flames.
Fortunately there is a large vacant
store building situated within a few
hundred yards of where the school
building was, so the school work will
not be hindered. It is said that the
building was insured for $4,000
which, it is supposed, will be used to-
wards erecting a modern school house
at an early date.

In the annual review of sports. COM

Rock Island athlete is prominently
mentioned in records for 1915. That
boy is Sol Butler. colored star, who
tied two worlds records during the
past year in meets at Chicago. At the
northwestern indoor track meet Sol
stepped SO yards in ;06 2-5, equalling
the worlds record, and on July II, in
the trials for the A. U.U. meet to be
held in San Francisco, Butler did "a
feet 212 inches in the running broad
jump at Chicago. equalling the world s
record. In the junior meet later at the
San Francisco exposition, Butler did
not set any records, but copied the
running broad jump, making him a
worlds champion. Sol is at present at
tending the Dubuque German college
and he was one Of the shining lights
on the Dubuque football team this past
season.

Club as Christmas Present.

Oliver Y. Anderson of West Union,
Iowa, is to be a member of the Moline
team Of the Three-Eye league during
1916. Those who have recommended
this strapping youngster declare he is
certain 10 make good as Plow boy
and that he will have some of the older
heads Of the league hustling if they
would win Three-Eye pitching laurels
this coming season.
The fact that he is a Swede should
make Anderson feel at home in Mo-
line. He is big six-footer, a right
hand pitcher who worked in the Iowa
brush in 1915. With various semi-pro
teams which sought his services when
they had hard games scheduled. he
went up against many former Three
Eye leaguers.
Anderson is said TO be better than
Miller, former Moline hurler, who was
good enough for the Three-Eye beat.
The tall boy is said to have great
curve, made more effective because of
his excellent control. His signed con-
tract comes as a Christmas present to
fans Of Moline.

like dumb-bells. His first knockout
was over a bill collector. Fred didn't
have the coin and the collector wanted
to break in and take away the furni-

passed away temporarily. Another
time Fred trimmed the boy bully who
