MUST DISPLAY FLAG.
STATE LAW REQUIRES THIS OF
SCHOOLS IN ORDER TO GET
STATE AID

The attention Of teachers in schools
County Superintendent MT E..EBarnes
to the state laws requiring Mef4ihools
to display an American flag in order
to get state aid. G. G.. Schultz, state
superintendent Of education, has sent
out circular letters to all county and
city superintendent in the state re-
garding the law and advising them
that it must be complied with in order
to get the aid.
The contents of the letter are as fol-
lows:
Two laws passed at the 1917 session
will have bearing upon the granting
of annual aid to all public schools for
the present school year. Reference is
made to the teaching of patriotism,
chapter 108, and to the display of the
American flag, chapter 313.
The spirit and purpose of both these
acts is to be carried out in good faith
and will be made uniform condition
for the granting Of aid to the public
schools. superintendent and princi-
pals are directed to bring this to the
attention of teachers and of school
boards. Applications for annual aid
will require a statement by the teach
er, the superintendent and the school
board that the conditions given in the
statutes have been met.
1t will be apparent to all loyal and
patriotic citizens that this is not a
mere attempt to have the letter and
form of a statute observed or to seek
out reason for Withholding grants Of
state funds. The motive is to make
certain that children in the public
schools are being trained in the ele-
ments of American citizenship and
that the ideals and aims and I'M
derlying purposes Of our government,
our country's history, and the respon-
sibility of the citizen are being made
a part Of the child's training and
growth in character.

AURORA BOREAIIs SEEN HERE

What was considered by astronomers
as the most brilliant display of Aurora
Borealis or Northern Lights was visi-
bile here Thursday evening of last
week, the display being clearest at
about O'Clock. It was especially at
tractive because of the presence of
colored streaks, a deep red showing in
the eastern sky. Many theories were
advanced as to the cause Of this color
ing of the aurora borealis, some beiev-
ing it to be the reflection of some big
fire, others saying that bloody bat
tie was taking place on the western
front in France. Astronomers studied
the phenomena but they were unable
to assign the cause for the presence
of the colors in the display. except that
they were caused by electrical disturb
ances. They are a very rare occur
renee.

FEED TO Be LABELED
INFERIOR FEEDS ARE OFFERED
TO FARMERS LAW TO BE
ENFORCED

On account Of the enormous quantity
of inferior farm feeds which are now
being dumped on the Minnesota mar
ket, A. D. Wilson, chairman of the
State Committee on Food Production
and Conservation, calls attention to
the announced purpose Of the state
dairy and food commission to enforce
the 1907 feed law, which has not here
tofore been enforced because the law
makes NO provision for funds with
which to secure enforcement.
The dairy and food commission an
nounces now, however, that after
March 81 any agent, employee, retailer
or manufacturer who has in his pos
session, offers for sale, or sells any
feeding material which is not labeled
according to the state law and which
is not accompanied, by a guarantee Of
the percentage of chemical nutrients
present in the feed, will be prosecuted.
Prosecution will also follow if the per-
centage of chemical nutrients is found
to be lower than that stated on the Ia
bel.
The dairy and food commission also
says it is the duty of every feeder to
bring facts with regard to inferior
er and it is the duty Of the local dealer
to demand the necessary facts from
the shipper or manufacturer, otherwise,
the local dealer will himself become
liable to prosecution. Interstate ship
ments Of feed are subject to the fed
eral laws and the federal authorities
will cooperate with the state dairy and
food commission.
Copies of the 1907 law may be OBJ
tanned from the Dairy and Food Com
mission, st. Paul, MINI.
Manufacturers, agents and consum-
ers arc requested not to forward sam
pies of feeds, fertilizers or other ma
terials to the food and dairy commits
sion as this is useless expense. The
only samples which will be analysed
are those secured by the official in
spectors from feeding stuffs or ferti-
lizers found in the open market.

FLUKE RESULTS
IN VICTORY 60
Recovery Of tumble and Long Run
TO One-Yard Line Brings Win
TO Local High School.
ISLANDERS ARE OUTPLAYED
Neither Eleven Shows Much Class
in Saturdays Clash-Lack of
Coaching Exhibited.

For the first time since 1914 by
the flukiest of flukes, the Rock Is
land high school football team Sat
urday afternoon defeated Moline,
ancient and bitter rivals, by the
close score of 6 to 0, on the home
lot at Douglas park.
The truth might as well be told.
The crimson and gold eleven, out
weighing their opponents by 10
POUNDS to the man, were outplayed,
outfought, outtackled and outgen-
eraled McCarty, Dopp, Milstead
and Blankenburg were the only
men on the Islander eleven that
showed even a sembiance Of grid
knowledge and fight. These men
are good material, some of the best
the high school ever turned out
but lack of efficient coaching was
painfully apparent in their per
Torrance.
Though victory in any shape and
form was gratefully accepted by
Rock Island roOters, the score tells
a shameful and humiliating story.
Moline should have been beaten by
20 points. They were bested to 0
by luck, pure and simple. Here's
the play. Fromme. maroon and
white fullback, fumbled near the
middle Of the field. BIankenburg
recovered, stumbled and slid for
ward about a ward on his face. Both
officials were behind the teams in
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-11-25

the scramble. Blankenburg scram-
bled to his feet and raced 40 yards
before he was downed on Moline's
one-yard line. In the next play
Anderson smashed over for the win
ming counter. Dopp missed goal.
Had the play been seen the ball
would have been declared dead
when Blankenburg fell upon it.
Never more clearly was the need
for a director of athletics at the
Rock island high school shown
than 1t was last Saturday. One of
he heaviest, most well-balanced
high school elevens that the Grim
son and gold has ever had demon
strated a pitifuI lack OF football
knowledge in the big game OF the
year. The linemen played far
apart; the ends did not go down
on punts, but attempted to dump
their men on the line of scrimmage,
and the halfbacks had been coach
ed to play far wide OF the end and
so far to the rear that they were
out of every play unless the run
ner had advanced from Is to 20
yards.
Rock Islands Need.
What the Rock Island high
school needs and has needed for
several years, is a good coach, one
who can devote his entire time 10
athletics and who has had expe-
rience himself, both as a player and
a successful director. No matter
how excellent the material. no
Roadway can be made without eff
fective coaching.
Faults in the playing OF both
eIevens were too numerous to men
ton, but the maroon and white, al
though an inexperienced aggrega-
ton with three exceptions. display
ed the more commendable team
play.
DOpp Kept Out
A serious tactical blunder was
made by the crimson and gold
coach in the first quarter, wnen
Dopp, the best halfback the Island
ers have. was kept on the sidelines.
Not until the second quarter did he
get into the game.

ianders since 1899. During that

the meaning of such procedure He
was assured by Walt that officer
EppersOn acted without discretion
and outside his jurisdiction. Elan
igan Te-secured the empty case,
while the newswriter yelled to
Officer Epperson for attention. As
the policeman glared, two scribes
seated themselves in triumph upon
the disputed box
OF course officer Epperson was
preserving law and order when he
seized the beer case. TWO people
were writing on Sunday, and the
chief had told Epperson that this
was TO be strictly prohibited. Per
haps Mr. Eppersop, who is used to
the police station nights, when two
cops are on city beats attempting
to ward off the thieving propen-
stiles Of some 400 paroled eonvicts,
was dazzled by the daylight and the
crowd, and thought that it would
he good time to show his brother
bulls, who failed repeatedly 10 nab
housebreakeTs and burglars on
their night vigils, what real polio
ing was. Perhaps he suspected the
two men Of bOotlegging or operar~
ing blind pig, for they sat upon
prime OffciO evidence in the shape
OF an empty beer case. Whatever
his motives, Officer Eppers0n is
certainly to be congratulated upon
his ofilcer-like qualities

On the other hand, your Cincinnatian
is not above taking your money when
opportunity favors. Witness the fact
that the Sinton held us up for six dol
lars for a room to sleep in a part Of
a night-just like that! Why, that's
enough money to buy the half of a
pair of high heeled shoes for Mrs.
Sinton. Hope If the money is spent
thus, she will suffer from corns We
are going to preserve this bill, and
the memorandum of % cents charged
for shave in Detroit, and the photo
graph of the meal that cost dollar
at Put-in-Bay, and we will show these
next winter to those tourists from
Ohio and Michigan who come to US
with complaints that they are being
robbed when Lakeland people charge
them IS or $40 week for good lodg
ing and board.
Such wild oats as we sowed were
sown in Cincinnati. We thought we
were devilish in those days, but, look
ing back, we realize that we were only
foolish. Trouble with us poor mortals
we haven't sense enough, particularly
in youth, even to be bad in the way
to get the most out of it. Reflections
of this character have inspired the
suggestion on our part-which seems,
however, to be utterly ignored that
we should be born old, and grow
younger all the time until we die. The
first part of our existence is when we
need sense most-and that's the pc
Rod during which we are such tarna-
ton FOOLS Like many great ideas,
we expect this one to be coldly re-
ceived; but we insist that if we could
have the judgment of sixty at twenty
it would be worth an hundred fold
what it is under the present arrange
ment. Then, too, wouldn't it be nice
to go out of the world, at the end OF
a reasonably long life, chubby babe,
whom everybody loves, instead of an
old sinner whom every
body's glad to see go? Think it over,
and elect us to the Legislator next
time, and let us see If we can't get
a measure Of this kind through
