TO GIVE LECTURES IN
SOUTH ROCK ISLAND

Watch Tower camp 1927, NJ. W. of
A., has prepared a treat for the resi-
dents Of its section of the city, an illus
trated lecture to be delivered tomor-
row evening by A. A. Burt of the Mod
ern Woodmen head office. The enter
tainment will be given at the Aiken
street chapel at o'clock. The subject
of Mr.. Burt's lecture will be The Man
Who Came Back" vivid portrayal by
stereopticon slides Of the great work
done by Woodcrafts sanatorium, near
Colorado Springs. The audience is
shown scenes illustrating the steps
taken in the treatment and cure of an
actual case of tuberculosis, with splen-
did views of the sanatorium and sur
rounding vicinity. Mr. Burt has given
this lecture many time before large
audiences and it has received enthus-
iastic praise. The lecture tomorrow
evening will be free and will be open
to members of the society, their
friends and their families Possibly
no subject is attracting greater atten-
ton among humanitarians of the pres
ent day than the one of dealing with
the ravages of tuberculosis. The Mod
ern Woodmen of America has a model
institution for practicing the most up
tO-date methods in the treatment and
arrest of this disease and the lecture
given by Mr.. Burt will bring to the
people an opportunity of learning just
how the fraternal society is assisting
in the world wide campaign to stamp
out the white plague. The entertain
ment was arranged by the booster COM
mittee of the combined Rock Island
camps.

PAICN CHARGE
TO Be RESENTED
Eleventh Hour Attempt to Misrepre-
sent Popular Order in Election
is Boomerang.

The eleventh hour effort to drag the
Jail issue into the campaign and the
attempt to impugn the motives of one
of the most prominent and popular
orders in the city, will probably prove
boomerang in the election in Rock
Island township tomorrow.
The charge that selfish interests
prompted an attempt to stop construc-
ton of the jail on the square in fur
therance of a scheme to get a piece
of money" is as outrageous, as 1t is
unjust and untruthful.
The fact that the Cobb property on
Fifteenth street, which belongs to the
Elks, could have been secured at the
time the proposition was up for the
county jail site from the Rock Island
lodge of the order of Elks, does not
carry with it any reasonable ground
for saying the order of Elks ever at
tempted to hold up the county for

MAKING SCENES FOR
HIGH SCHOOL COMEDY

Work on the scenery for the senior
class play to be given at the Rock Is
land high school next Thursday and
Friday evenings is now being rushed
to completion by Stage Manager Bob"
Ackley and 1t is announced that all
has been completed for the first act
and that the scenery for the entire
play Will be ready for the dress re-
hearsal to be held Wednesday evening.
Ackley is being ably assisted by three
others in his work, these volunteers
being George Adams. Harry Cleaye-
land and Harold Johnson.
Business Manager Robert Ander-
son announces that the sale of tickets
is progressing rapidly and that the in
cations are that there will be large
audience. The tickets are now on sale
at the high school and may be pro-
cured in person or by telephone.
1t is also announced that the music
at the play will very probably be the
best that has even been furnished. The
quartet that sang between acts at the
Y. NJ. c. A. circus, consisting of ], D.
Bruner, Donald Vance, Eugene Brown
and John Gustafson, has been secured
to render few selections and besides
these, IS of the best players in the
school orchestra have been picked for
the occasion by Principal A. J. Bur
ton.
The cast for the play has meanwhile
been practising thoroughly and Miss
Iva Pearce, the director, declares
that it is the best one with which she
| has ever drilled. The dress rehear-
sal will be held Wednesday evening

$4,000 or ever dreamed of such a
thing. The vicious charge against this
order, designed for political purposes,
is therefore likely to be resented at
the polls tomorrow in pronounced
manner.
Furthermore the Jail controversy is
not an issue in this campaign nor
could it be made such, as. the matter is
entirely out of the hands of the board
of supervisors and in the keeping OF
the supreme court. The board of sup
eryisors, therefore, has nothing to do
with the proposition, especially on the
question of site.

When Itching Stops

There is one safe, dependable treat
ment that relieves itching torture in
stantly and that cleanses and soothes the
skin.
Ask any druggist for a DC bottle of
zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
YOU will find that pimpes. black heads,
eczema. ringworm and similar skin trou-
bles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, salts
flying liquid. is all that is needed, for it
banishes all skin eruptons and makes
the skin soft, smooth and healthy.

an opportunity not only for frontal
but flank, and possibly rear attack
before the enemy had reached his
destination. With the other nalf OF
the fleet at some point south, the
two ends could converge on the en-
envy who sought our central shores
with the same speed at which they
could reach the ends from the CEN
ter
A division of this kind would give
us the added advantage of being able
to protect the Gulf of st. Lawrence
which Admiral Peary has stated is
one Of the TWO most dangerous spots,
the other being the Gulf of Califor-
mia. A force landing at those places
would be practically the same as on
our own shores. The Gulf of ST.
Lawrence is only about 500 miles
from Portland, but is nearly 1900
from Hampton Roads. The battle
cruisers could thus reach those wa
tiers in twelve hour run, if station
ed at Portland.

TABULATED TIME TABLE!
NEEDED.

The requests for a tabulated time
table of the steamers are getting
more and more insistent. The pres
ent time table shows departures only
and no one can tell whether the boat
will stop anywhere on the route or
what time. 1t is doubtless fact that
the Casco Bay and Harpswell Lines
are losing money through the uncer-
tainty of passengers who would trav-
ell between the landings. There used
to be considerable business done
between landings and it is only wait

MINIATURE ALMANAC.
WHY NOT PORTLAND HARBoR.

Apropos of Admiral Peary's widely
published and authoritative remarks
on the kind of preparedness neces-
sary for our navy: namely the build
ing of two fleets of eight battle
cruisers, with a speed of 35 knots
(almost 40 miles) pc hour, and sta
Ioning them OH the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts at some strateg
points from which they could run
at this great speed to protect any
part of our coast line, some one has
suggested that the Atlantic division
of this fleet should be stationed at
Hampton Roads, from which place
they could reach Halifax, or the Flor
Eda coast, in "a hour rum Would
it not be as we'll or better, if one half
of these battle cruisers were station
ed at Portland? The power of
these ships for defence lies in their
being able to move quickly when in
formed of threatening movements of
opposing ships. The outline of our
Atlantic coast is such that at Port
land, in case of impending battle at
points to the south, there would be
