IRISH POTATOES
 GETTING SCARCE
Cotton Takes One-Cent in All Grades-FlOur Is
 Also Lower

Morris avenue received many shipments of fowls of all kinds yesterday, but prices still held firm.
 Irish potatoes are scarcely to be found on the avenue, and no shipments are due before middle of next week. The Irish seed potato situation is soon to be before the truckers, and it begins to look like a good price will be paid by those who wish to plant. Rutabagas are rather scarce also.
 Cotton took a big drop yesterday, the spot product in each of the four grades falling off 1 cent, ranging from good mid ding at 1614c to strict low middling at 15Ac
 Flour in most grades took drop of from 10 to 25c per barrel. All feedstuffs remained unchanged. Green and half cured hides are off 1c

MRS. HALE AT WOMAN'S CLUB
SATURDAY.

With the coming of Mrs. Beatrice
Forbes-Robertson Hale as the guest
Of the Rock Island Woman's club Sat
urday another excellent number will
be added to the list of splendid offer
ings that have been enjoyed by the
club members during this season. The
entire program has been unusually
good and members have had the op-
portunity of hearing the best in let
ters. art and general club work. Mrs.
Hale will speak on The Drama as a
Social Force" with readings. Since
1910 Mrs Hale has devoted herself to
lecturing upon poetry, the drama and
English and American politics. Dur
ing the past few seasons she has been
heard in brilliant lectures on the dra-
ma illustrated by dramatic readings
from many plays and in the discussion
OF the works of the newest English
and American schools, and in a recital
from poets of the present day, giving
a commentary on their value and
meaning. Her dramatic training and
native gifts for reading of poetry are
reinforced by her wide knowledge Of
English literature. She is said to
have a very attractive personality and
her voice is musical and well trained.
Miss Hattie Larkin will give a mu-
steal number, singing ooh, Sing, Ye
Bird" by John Metcalf.

BIRD LECTURE-RECI TUES
DAY.

Mrs. Jessie Braman Daggett will
give a lecture recital on What Bird
Songs Mean to Me" at the New Har-
per, Tuesday evening, March q, at s
O'Clock, under the auspices OF the
Rock Island Musical club. The con-
cert will be complimentary to club
members and a small admission fee
will be charged those not members of
the club. Mrs. Daggett gives pro-
gram that is altogether different from
any thing before undertaken. She has
made a careful study Of the songs OF
birds and has heard them sing opera,
hymns, fOlk-SOngs and popular rag
and she is sure she can make every
one hear them if they will but try.
Mrs. Daggett is said to give an enter
/ tainment that is not only interesting
to listen to, but is far rea ching in its
results. Teachers are especially inter
ested as it stimulates the children's
! powers of observation so that in a
number of instances they have been
| able to write for themselves, the
! songs they hear the birds sing. She
/ tells many instances Of her dealings
/ with the birds, some of them quite
! humorous and is able to whistle the
birds calls and songs, playing an ac-
! compartment and then carrying the
motif On into some familiar compOsi-
/ ton.
