he could not write English. Holmes

on charge of having murdered Mrs.
Emma Gheys, East Moline, the jury
finding him insane at the time of the
commission of the crime and insane
now. He is held in Jail waiting SEN
tence.

his wife and at that time the former
said he had not registered and that he
didn't want any more fighting in his,

magistrate received:
Il was registered for, conscription

exemption Board in regard to this
matter but as yet have received no
reply.
Kindly advise me what to do, as l
am committed to the county Jail on
your mittimus and have no desire to
evade military service.

SECURITY LEAGUE
HAS WORTHY AIM
Organization to Hold Banquet at Conn.,
mercial Club Tuesday AdvOcat.
ing Industrial Preparedness.

From all indications there will be
a large attendance at the banquet,
which is to be given next Tuesday
evening at the Moline Commercial club
by the Rock Island county branch of
the National Security league. Henry
l.. West, New York City, executive sec
rotary of the league, will make the
principal address.
The National Security league advO-
Gates universal obligatory military
training, an adequate army. navy sec
ond in strength, governmental effic-
iency. industrial preparedness, coun-
try above party, patriotism through
education and a unified national spirit.
Vice President Marshall comments on
the league as follows:
The future of the republic depends
upon the character of its citizenship.
We are at building permanently I'M
fully acquainted with the meaning of
American citizenship. We must give
patriotism vitality which will find
expression in service. We can not
make a democracy safe for the world
by writing treaties. The spirit Of
democracy must be in the minds of
the people, and this means that they
must understand the basic principles
of democratic government. For this
reason l hope that the National Sc
curity league will not cease its work
with the end of the war. 1t is en-
gagged upon a great constructive eff
fort which proposes solid founda-
ton of practical knowledge, and its
duty toward generations yet unborn
demands that it's we'll laid, definite
and essential plans shall be carried
forward year by year."

FIND MORE CLASS
IN FOOD STUFFS
Mrs. Margaret Williams, Moline, Dis.
covers Gritty Substance in Pre-
pared Mincemeat.

Discovery of glass in prepared
mincemeat submitted to DR.. W. E.
Taylor by Mrs. Margaret Williams,
247 FOrty-sixth street, Moline, has led
the local food administrator to insti-
tute an investigation of mincemeats
sold in this city.
Mrs. Williams noticed some gritty
substances when cutting the mince-
meat. Later she mixed some apples
and raisins with the purchased food
and cooked the mixture On tasting
the mincemeat she found she was bit
ing into certain hard substances This
DR.. Taylor identified as glass.
Dr. Taylor stated that he is not in
position to give the name of the
brand of mincemeat or the store where
purchased There was no need for a
panic, he said, but it would be well to
report all suspicious articles found in
food to the food administrator, DR..
Taylor.
Ground glass was found in graham
bread in the home of Mrs. c. E. Spang-
Ter, 236 Fifteenth avenue, East Mo-
line, last evening. 1t was turned over
to DR.. W. E. Taylor, county food ad-
ministrator. The bread was from a
Moline bakery. Upon examination DR..
Taylor found the bread filled with
glass, and he summoned the baker.
The baker admitted that glass was in
the bread, but depied knowledge of
how it got there. He and his employees
are being put through rigid examin-
alton.
The Spangler family discovered the
glass upon chewing the bread, but it
is not believed that it was taken into
their mouths in sufficient quantities
to result seriously.
