TROUBLE CAUSED
BY UNRULY FORD
Young Man Arrested for His Attempt
to Subdue Balky Automobiles
leased After Hearing.
OFFERS SERVICES TO ARMY
But When He Gets Bucking Machine
at Top Of Hill II Misbehayes and
Alarm Is Sounded.

c. ]. Ballman, who is just now try
ing to show patriotic young Moline
men that they should enlist in the
navy, last evening extended an invita-
ton to Corporal Hansen, army re-
cruiting officer in Moline, to ride with
him in his Ford automobile. Corporal
Hansen accepted the invitation and
preparations were made for cruise.
But, to the dismay of Ballman, his
Ford refused to cruise. A crowd of
civilians gathered and with usual civil
ian courtesy proceeded to give 5000
different brands of advice.
Along happened one young man.
He offered to subdue the unruly car.
He did. Then he suggested that he
run the machine around the block in
order to give it a thorough test, which
he also did
But the young man was not satisfied.
He felt that the car should climb a
hill in order to give evidence of a
uOIIldl COHultlOH.
The Ford valiantly climbed a hill,
but once at the top refused to go fur
Their or to return.
In the meantime the army and navy
men waited.
A half hour passed and the young
man with the Ford failed to return.
We'll, I'll be jiggered," pronounced
the navy.
"The enemy has cut our transpor-
tation lines murmured the army
sadly.
I'VE might send up an aeroplane
scout if we had one" pondered the
navy
I'VE might notify the civil author

This was done. The authorities got
busy. In three minutes police of East
Moline, Moline, Rock Island and Dav-
export were searching for the navys
Ford. The army and navy retired to
"a nearby drug store to drown their
sorrow in an ice cream soda.
The young man, having again placed
the machine in running order, return
ed triumphantly to the place where
he had left the military men.
At the place was an officer who
"pinched" him. The young man was
frightened. He saw visions of being

COMPANY F WILL
Be REORCAN|zED
Military Organization rs 1t Now Stands
VIII Pass Out Of Existence-To
Retain Officers.
RECRUITS MUST BE CAPABLE
Plan Is TO Build Up \ Better UNI
With a Few of the Faithful wen
and Rockies of Character.

Announcement was made last even
ing by Captain r. E. Willis. after
conference with Colonel &. G. Davis,
regimental commander. that COM
paIy F, l. n e., as it now stands with
exception of the officers and few OF
the more efficient and faithful enlist
ed men, is to be wiped out.
Moline does not necessarily have to
lose the military organization, which
was formed back in 1877 as Company
B. Intention of Captain Willis is to
| reorganize the company with view
| to building up new and more pow
erful unit of the organized state NIL
! litia to represent Moline. In selecting
recruits care will be exercised to get
men of good character who will be In
their efforts to acquire military train
ing. If the effort to effect such a re-
organization is a failure then the
company will be transferred to some
other city.
If scheme evolved in the mind of
]
Captain Willis, and having indorse-
ment of a number of prominent citi-
zens of Moline is carried to conclu-
sion it should be possible to recruit the
company to full war strength of $50
men in a short time. Plan is to in
| terest number of local men of pro-
minence to serve as sponsors in a
campaign to secure enough recruits
| to give Moline company of required
strength. There probably would be
no changes in the three commissioned
officers-those of captain, first and
second lieutenants-and it is reason
ably certain that the first sergeant
will be retained.
The time is short in which to carry
on the campaign If Moline is to re-
main a part of the Sixth regiment it
will be necessary to show results be-
fore June, so that there will be time in
which to have the company trans
ferred to another city, and trained
preparatory to the officers school of
, luSLI uttlUH W Dt lclti III JulS, anu thC
encampment which will take place
soon after.
| That it will be possible to get
seventy or more men to supplant pres
ent members of the company, Cap
tain Willis is confident.
To Be InOculated.
Possibilities are that every member
of the Sixth regiment will have been
inoculated with the anti-typhoid vac
cine by June l. Major c. S. Young,
regimental sergeant, advises Captain
Willis that he is anxious to have the
work completed in two months

the major in his letter, mot only from
a military standpoint, but also in pri-
vate life, as you we'll know, a patient
suffering with typhoid fever is in a
battle for life, and each man may
we'll seek this opportunity to avoid
this dread disease.
IF we are called out, we will all
have to take it when we are modified
if we are not already immunized, so
we might as we'll anticipate such in

the vaccine to members of the local
