What Bust Is

What Rust Is.
Nothing can rust unless it has iron
in it. Rust is made by iron touching
moist air. The oxygen in the moist air
acts on the iron and forms what we
call oxide of iron," or rust, which
crumbles away and spoils the iron.

MOLINE OBITUARY
Funeral of A. A. Champion.

Memory of the late A. A. Champion
was beautifully respected at the obse-
quies yesterday afternoon at the home
on Seventh avenue. Rev. A. NJ. judy,
longtime friend and former pastor of
Mr., Champion. was officiating clergy
man. His intimate knowledge of the
life and character of Mr.. CHAMPION,
and the years of friendship between
the two men, made of the tribute not
only gem of the English language
but soul-felt expression of esteem of
the worth of life so genial, so friend
ly and so full of helpfulness to all
who had come in contact with it. As
long ago as in the '70s, when Mr.. Judy
was pastor of the Unitarian church in
Davenport, and when services were
held in a hall on Brady street, Mr..
Champion was friend of Mr.. judy
and an attendant at the services pre-
sided over by him. That friendship
has been maintained ever since. I'D to
the time of Mr.. Champions passing.
Remains were laid TO rest in Oakdale
cemetery, Davenport, where Mr..
Champion had owned a lot for years.
Pallbearers were Frank Walker. Ell
mer Morgan, DR.. A. NJ Beal r. C..

Sunday Are Brighter.

DR.. A. H. Arp, who is attending
Fred Earkman, Silvis yards clerk who
was thought to have been fatally in
iured when struck by an eastbound
train early Sunday morning just west
of Carbon Cliff, this morning stated
that the mans chances for recovery

ever, was not prepared to make any
statement as to the probable outcome.
Report from the hospital was that the
man spent as easy a night as could be
expected.
The broken limb, which was so
fractured that it was feared amputa-

be saved if the man lives, it is thought
This was the most serious of the in
