RECEIVES NOTICE

The wonderful pitching Of Andy
Ware and Art Smith in the 22-inning
game last Sunday in Rock Island be-
tween Rock Island and Hannibal, has
attracted the attention of baseball au-
thorities all over the country.

dent Of the Rock Island club, received
letter from George l. MOreland, Phil
adelphia, publisher Of sporting records,
asking for the ages of the two twirlers
and other facts concerning them.
Smith is % and Ware, who was on the
mound for Rock Island, is 81 so that
the showing OF the latter is considered
remarkable in view of his age. The
Ginning game played here last Sun
day, which Hannibal won by the score
OF TO ,, is one of the longest games
ever played in minor league baseball.

DAVENPORT BEER
PARL0RS RAIDED
Long Expected Visit of Iowa State Of
Gals Results in Search of at
Least Twenty Places.
SELLING OF LIQUOR is OPEN
Little Effort at COncealment Made bv
-Soft Drink Emporiums Since
Closing OF Bars. Jan. |.

The long expected raids by special
Iowa state inspectors on places in
Davenport selling liqeor in open vio-
lauon of the law started at noon today.
Davenport was buzzing with the
news at o'clock after the state Off
GERS had Withdrawn to Bettendorf,
where search warrants and other pa
pers necessary to prosecute offenders
were made out. 1t is known that at
least 20 places in the heart of the bust
ness district of the city across the
river were raided by the officers.
They arrived in the city unan-
nounced, but il was not a surprise TO
the citizens OF the city, as raids made
in other parts of the state had brought
forth the prediction: They'll be in
Davenport soon"
While Rock Island was said to be
prOfung highly as result of the state
law closing the Iowa saloons the bars
OF this city only got the overt1ow-the
persons who didn't care to wink when
they placed their money down on the
bar.
Occasionally a blind pig" has been
raided by city or county authorities in
Davenport, but in the main the places
so visited by authorities were of the
dive variety and were closed largely
because of fights.
Many OF the DdrS WnlCn were legal
lied before Jan. l were held bv the
owners and conducted as soft drink
parlors." According to the evidence
the state officers claim they have there
has been no time when intoxicating
drinks have not been on hand in most
these places and it was common knowl-
edge in Davenport that it was not nee
essaTy TO come TO Rock Island TO Sc
cure beer or booze.
1t is said that the sale of beer has
been SO open and above board recently
that the places were looked upon as
saloons. and while soft drinks could
be purchased, the sale of the LIQUID
with a kick in it exceeded that Of pop
and ginger ale many times over. No
effort at concealment has been made
recently.
Speculate on Future.
What effect the visit of the state Of
ficers will have on Davenport in the
future cannot be forecasted now.
Whether It will mean that the local
authorities will follow up the work of
the state inspectors is not known. 1t
is figured however. that the presence
Of the inspectors in Davenport will
stop the sale of intOxicants in the city
at least for the present

"Swat the Rooster
Additional literature was provided
by the state food department in the
form of large colored posters, show
ing stages of decomposition of eggs
from fresh state and extending over
a period of seven days. 1t was also
pointed out that the infertile eggs kept
better than fertile ones, and in this
connection the department adopted
the slogan of swat the rooster"
Farmers were encouraged to separate
the BOOSTERS from the focks as soon
as the Matching season was over, and
merchants Joined in the movement by
agreeing to buy roosters at good prices
if offered for the market.
With the year ended for educating
the dealers and egg producers in the
manner of getting only good eggs on
the market the department, two weeks
ago, started its inspectors on a cam
paign that will extend all over llli-
nois, looking to the arrest and pros
ecutiOn of persons who are failing to
comply with the provisions of the law.
Federal inspectors are working with
the state inspectors, looking wholly to
interstate shipments of bad order
eggs, that they may be offered for
food in markets beyond the state. The
state inspectors are charged with pre-
venting their sale within the state.
Southern Illinois Covered.
The first roundup of the inspectors
was held two weeks ago at Mt. Car
mel, and on Sunday, July 2 a second
roundup was held at Centralia. Prac-
tically the entire southern part of the
state has been covered, and informa-
ton obtained of violations in many in
stances. No arrests have been made
and none will be until the entire state
has been covered, which will be with
in the next two weeks. Then the in
spectors will turn their attention to
prosecutions. The penalty on convic-
ton for violation in the first offense
is a fine of not to exceed SIS, and 30
days in Jail, or both, and on second or
subsequent offenses the fine may be
from $25 TO 5000, and so days in Jail,
