The corn in this part of Grant coun-
ty was harder hit by the frost than
that even a little farther north Far
mers are busy filling their silos with
it. 1t is interesting to note that in
many places a part of a field will be
frosted and the other part not. The
hollows where there are no streams
got the worst frost. Some hollows
where there are streams, the corn is
left in perfect condition.

Decides TO Discontinue Place Which in
Years Past Has Been Moline's His
toric Grog Parlor.

Tired Of the continual expense and
ANNOYANCE which he claimed he was
being nut to through the activities OF
the Anti-Saloon league, Henry huy-
vaert decided to close his soft drink
psrlor at 527 Fourteenth street, Mo-
line. last evening. Thus passes one
of the historic saloons of the PloW Guy
where in the palmy days OF old many
a big drinking party was staged
Present at the obsequies last even
ing were J. d. Metzgar, counsel Tor
the Moline branch Of the anti-saloon
league; c. u. Dietz, counsel for Huy-
yaert, and Mr.. Huyvaert himself II Is
understood that Mr.. Metzgar claims
that the proprietor decided to quit
business entirely rather than face any
more prosecutions for violations of the
local option law. While Mr.. Huyvaret
says, ''the prosecution and per-
secution" of the anti-saloon league
caused him to voluntarily close up
shop. He says he didn't want his pat
rons to be spied on all the time and
that 4 was largely out of considera-
ton for them that he took this action.
He has case pending in the appellate
court now, an appeal being taken
!. from Rock Island county court, where
me was found guilty Of violating the
provisions of his parole and was given
a TAIL sentence and heavy fine.

Is ACCUSED
OF HELPING AUSTRIA

London, Nov. 23.-The vatican is ac-
cused in an editorial in the Morning
Post of being implicated in the pro-
paganda which the newspaper says
was largely responsible for the recent
Italian reverses. Reviewing what it
describes as vatican Vaccinations. the
Post declares that its political activi-
ties during the war can by no So
phistry be regarded as consistent with
the principles Of neutrality"
From the beginning" says the
Post, 'the vatican has leaned to Aus
trials side and lately has furtively,
but actively, espoused the Austrian
cause"
The newspaper calls on the British
government to look into the matter
and demands that the vatican declare
definitely on which side it stands.
