By Biddy Bye.

With the first hot days of early
summer it is time to change our diet to
summer quality as well as our clothes.
Vegetables, salads and fruits now
form the bulk Of our meals.
To keep in the best of physical trim
1T Is wise to have at least one sub
stantial dish, even though only a
beverage at each meal. Meats may
be eliminated almost entirely, for
both economy and health, and fruits
and light puddings form most of the
desserts.
Summer Is the best possible season
to conserve wheat, fats and sugar by
substituting the garden products.
Now is the time to use corn breads
as the meal does not keep so well later
on and the space is needed to store the
new crop.
Serve q corn bread at least once q
day, and oftenec If possible.
SUNDAY
Breakfast: Strawberries, sweet po-
tato popovers, green peas melet, cof-
fee. (Wheatless.)

Weapon Ia lauuhter.

In the posthumous story, 1.-THE Ms
terious Stranger" which Mark Twain
did not see fit to publish during his
lifetime, Twain expresses impatience
with the degrading use of humor when
turned toward trivial things. Your
race in its poverty" he makes Satan
say, "has unquestionably one really
effective weapon-laughter. Power,
money, persuasion, supplication, perse-
cution-these can lift q colossal hum
bug-prod it little, weaken 1t little,
century by century; but only laughter
can blow it to rags and atoms at q
blow. Against the assault Of laughter
nothing can stand"

TO DECEASED WHO

Thomas Campbell and Grin S. Holt.
both executives OF the Old Settlers
association of Rock Island county.
who have died during the last
year, were adopted by members OF
the association at its session
which was held at the Watch Tow
er today.
The resolutions were prepared

to the gathered members. They
are as follows:
During the past year two Of the
officials of this association have
been called to the great beyond -
Thomas Campbell, its president.
and Orrin S. Holt, its first vice
president Both were men Of ster-
ling qualities, of manhood and
honor, and held the respect of the
people of Rock Island, where they
lived practically their entire lives.
They were among the mainstays OF
the Rock Island County Old Set
tiers association. They were deep
ly interested in its proceedings and
gave of their time and substance
freely that these annual gatherings
might be successful in bringing to-
gether the old settlers and the
pioneers and the descendants Of
the pioneers, holding firm the bonds
of friendship and cementing the
ties of fellowship among them.

the home of one of the pioneer res-i
idents of this county-the late John
A. Boyer-and his death occurred
on the site of the old home within
but few feet of the very location
of the old Boyer residence. Mr.
Campbell served the people of this
locality as a township and county
official for many years, and was
then honored by them with election
for several successive terms to the
halls of the general assembly Of
the great state of his adoption He
served them well, never betraying
a trust reposed in him. Through
the period of political corruption
which marked a portion N his term
in the legislature he passed with
out stain, nor was the finger Of
suspicion ever pointed toward him
When he finally retired from pub
lie life, but year before his death,
his telegram of congratulations to
his successor contained these
words, Hold fast the principles of
freedom, liberty and personal rights
to the citizenship of
this state and nation as inalienable
and perpetual
THE death of First Vice Presi-
dent Orrin S. Holt occurred on the
eighth day of January. 1918. With
his death there passed one of the
kindest hearts and noblest natures

Of His children. Mr. Holt was born

if he did not consider himself
lucky. not only in having been Sc

for active duty so soon on the bat

he did, in spite of the attendant
dangers that confronted him. And
today if he could still send back a

what had tefallen him, knowing
him as l did, know his answer

them as with their forefathers,
there was purpose, principle and
freedom in their thoughts. Short

help us win our freedom, and while

BEAUTIFUL POEM
IS READ DURING
DAY AT MEETING

The following beautiful poem en-
titled BLACK Hawks Tower" pre-
pared by Mrs. Julia Hurst Stat
ford for the annual session of the
Old Settlers association being held
today at the Watch Tower park
was read during the day to the
members of the organization:
Grand old hill, towering so high
Seeming to kiss the clouds as
they float by
Silent, lofty, gigantic and grand,
Towering SO high DER all the
land,
With Rock river ripping at your
feet
AS if your majesty to greet.
Since childhood's happy, sunny
hour,
l have known you as Black
Hawks tower,
Where young and old rejoiced to
meet,
And had you as a sweet retreat.
When the day is calm, and clear,
and bright,
I love to stand on your lofty
height
And view the landscape DER and
AS Black Hawk did in days of
yore-
AS in silence he wandered to and
And watched the coming of the
foe.
Silent you stand, but could you
speak
What thrilling tales you would
repeat
Of warriors brave who fought and
To gain the land they loved so
well.
How hearts were thrilled in those
days Of yore,
AS We listened to the stories of
Indian lore,
And heard our sires so oft relate
The Indian lovers tragical fate,
How mid raging storm and thun-
dGI y
They disappeared and were seen
no more.
When they came with loving hearts
to meet
Their faithful tryst in Joy to
greet,
They met their tragical, fatal
doom,
And were buried forever in their
rock bound tomb.
md the whispering winds in the
grand old trees
Repeat anew in their ripping
leaves
'waying in the summer breeze.
Ger and DER to our listening |
ears
'hese thrilling stories OF the van
tshed years.
While the music OF the ripping !
waters deep
secall the memories that ne'er will /
sleep,
Memories OF days of toll and
fear
ct dear to the heart of the pion-
eer.
n, lofty hill so tall and grand
Towering so high DER all the
land,
ilent you are and will remain
Yet history's page Will ere pro-
claim
he story of your name and fame.
And, as in ages past-in ages to
come

on
kissing the shore at your feet

And watch the coming of the
