The Rock Island County Farm I'm

hearty endorsement by the Rock Is
land Retail Grocers' association at It's
monthly meeting held last night in the
rooms of the Business Mems associa-
ton in the Safety building. The as

project in every way possible and
many grocers will take out member
ships in the league The grocers feel
that they will be directly benefited by
the new league and will cooperate to
make it a success.
The farm league was organized re-
Gently for the express purpose of hir-
ing crop expert for the county. The
majority of the farmers have already
Joined the league and the organizers
have turned their attention to city
men.
The grocers also endorsed the re-
cent preparedness meeting held in
Davenport and contributed two dona-
lions to the general fund which was
pledged at that time. The Daven-
port conference was held for the
purpose of calling to the attention of
senators and congressman the exped-
iency of enlarging the Rock Island
| arsenal.
All of the grocery stores in the city.
which are operated by members OF
the association, have been selling ba-
| nanas by weight since March l. IN
der the old plan of selling by the
dozen every merchant was losing
money by handling this fruit, as they
purchased it by weight.

AT SPENCER SQUARE.

There are many ways of meeting a
girl for the first time. One of them is
to slide into her stateroom in the mid
die of the night, while arrayed in pa
jamas, seated securely, if not very
comfortably, on your steamer trunk.
There are only very few young men
who have attempted this extremely
unconventional form of introduction,
among them Jack Barrymore, who
thus watts his way into the friend
ship of Helene, the Princess of Okam,
in the Famous Players Film COM
panys presentation of Nearly a
King" in which the celebrated COM
edian is starred on the Paramount
program at the Spencer Square to-
night and tomorrow. Having thus
been thrust into the presence of the
lady by terrific storm at sea, Bar
rymore attempts to cover his en-
barrassment and his pajamas by seiz-
ing quilt. But, unfortunately, it is
the same quilt with which Helene is
attempting to cover her own embar-
rassment. This is not the only heart
rending predicament in which Jack
finds himself in connection with the
delightful Helene.

All THE MAJESTIC.

Charles T. Darcy, whose stage sue
cess In Old Kentucky" has had more
performances than any other legiti-
mate production, is the author of "A
Night Out" the latest Vitagraph Blue
Ribbon comedy. He wrote it in col
laboration with May Robson, the fav-
orite actress of Broadway, who is fea-
tured in the film. "a Night Out" is
well worth the efforts Of two such
past masters in stage craft and the
leading role is capably portrayed by
Miss Robson. The film is one of the
best comedies ever released by the
Vitagraph trademark. 1t is to be seen
at the Majestic tomorrow.

didates For Township Of
flee in Years.
BrsSEsS MEN FOR THE BOARD
William Trefz, c. L. Thompson, Ed
Bakersfield. Louis 0hlweiler and
J.F. Grotegut Named.

Democrats of Rock Island township
have named what is without any ques-
ton one of the strongest tickets ever
presented TO the local electorate. Yes
terday was the last day for filing NOM
nations for township Offices with the
town clerk and a three-cornered con-
test is to be staged April 4, democrats,
republicans and socialists all asking
for support.
Vacancies on the democratic town
ship ticket were filed by the commit
tee appointed for the purpose and the
uniform strength of the candidates
selected is a matter Of general COM
ment on the streets today.
For supervisor. William Trefz is
named. He is present incumbent from
this township and has made such an
enviable record on the county board
that he is entitled 10 reelection.
Uncle" Billy can be counted on to
win.
Candidates selected for assistant su-
per, isors are especially capable and
reliable. Louis Ohlweiller is former
member of the board and is well &C
ouainted with the duties of the office
TO which he is again aspiring. He
should be successful, not only because
of his experience with the administra-
ton of the county's business, but be-
cause he is dependable and thoroughly
honest.
Thompson Is Ten-Strike.
Choice OF Charles L. Thompson, well
known plaster contractor, for assist
ant supervisor is everywhere conceded
a ten-strike. He is a former member
of the city council, in which body he
proved of sterling worth. He is 6
practical man of affairs and his SOUND
business judgment would be of inesti
mable worth to the board.
Edward Bakersfield, we'll known
laundryman. is third man out for as
sistant supervisor. He is represen
tative business man of the city and hi
election would be in the interests o
economy and wise use Of the taxpay
ers' money.
Joseph F. Grotegut, who seeks
place on the county board, is tailo
in the employe of Gustafson & Hayes
He is secretary of the Eagles lodg
and prominent in fraternal circles
He has a wide acquaintanceship an
is in every way qualified to give eff
Gent service as a supervisor
Nominee for town clerk is Chris
Mellow, agent for the Industrial HON
building. He is an old resident of Roc
Island and will be hard man to bea
