We gave proof of Just how patriotic we

Sand by our previous efforts with our
small change. The government is ask
ing us now for the use of our quarters

this great Democracy deals with its peo-
pie is a spur to keep that Democracy
safe! What if America were taxed for

1t was great relief to his neighbors

Boil Water Right Help Win
The War
How do you boil waters


Just watch yourself or your maid
and see if you do not 10 it this WAY
You turn on your Gas, then strihe your
match, result gas isateL.
Next you go anu - your disa, take
it to the faucet an! ill it, then put it
on the stove. If il is Tie teakettle, you
put the cover on. Ii it is an open
dish you do NOT bother with a cover.
Then you put in whatever is to be cook
ed, and the chances are that you let
it boil without covering.
Now you have wasted several feet Of
gas that you get no good from. And
in this time of war necessities, the fact
that you pay for the gas does not help
the coal famine. You burn just so
much more coal that should be put into
the bunkers Of some ship to help feed
our soldiers who are making the world
safe for women and children.
What kind of dish do you use when
boring things on the stove!
Do YOU use dish small at the bottom
and flarng at the top: If so you lose
a considerable amount of gas, as well as
burning out the dish.
How to cut your gas bill and save
fuel to Help Win the War.
Use dish with bottom large
enough to project over the blaze.
Cover dish tightly.
Bring to a boil, then turn gas low
SO it will be kept just boiling and little
steam escaping. Aftdr vt tegins toy
boil it will cook no faster if it boils
hard and the steam escapes. Water
boils at certain degree Of heat and
will only turn into steam when you try
to force it higher.
Light the gas after your dish and
food are all ready to set on blaze.
Follow the above directions and you
will save your own money on gas bills,
| and what is of more Importance you
will save coal to send ships and food
to our soldiers in France.
Here's a bit you can do in your own
kitchen.

EAST MOLINE TO
BE BONE DRY SAYS
CITY'S EXECUTIVE

East Moline is going to be dry
territory, all right" emphaticalIy
declared Mayor George F. Johnson
today. THE people have spoken,
and their mandate will be obeyed
to the letter 1 will instruct my
chief of police to go the limit in
eliminating the sale of liquor in
this city.
Il have been cordially assisting
in every way possible the federal
agents in the matter of suppress
sion of vice conditions and the I'M
lawful sale of liquor to soldiers and
others, and will continue to CO.
operate with the government in an
attempt to make East Morine bone
dry"
When asked relative to what
steps would be taken in the matter
of retrenchment in view of the loss
of 500, 900 annual revenue from sa-
loon licenses, the mayor stated that
no plans had as yet been made. The
license fee has been $1,000 year,
which is higher than that charged
in Rock Island.

ARE SALOONS TO
Be SHUT MAY |?
Question Raised as to Whether
Council VIII Grant Dram
Shops Licenses.

when are the saloons of East
Moline to closer"
That's the all important question
in that community now that the,
wet and dry issue has been settled
and the electorate has decreed that
the 20 thirst parlors licensed there
must go out OF business.
Under the state laws, saloons in
districts which have been voted
anti-saloon territory are allowed
so days of grace in which to wind
up business. However, liquor Ii
censes expire May 1 and the ques-
ton at once arises as to whether
the dram shops will be allowed to
remain open until May 16 or be
closed the first of May.
MY offhand opinion is that East
Moline saloons can continue to OPP
crate until the middle of May only
in case the city commission grants
a temporary license for the period
from May 1 to May IT," said City
Attorney George d. Long when
Easked about the matter today. THE
saloons cannot legally operate for
any period without permits so that
the first of next month when Ii
censes expire, all of the dram
shops will have to be closed unless
the council sees fit to grant tenn
porary permits for half a month or
until the 30-day period is up. This
probably will be done. The matter
will be taken up at the special
meeting of the council Friday even
ing at the time the election returns
are officially canvassed."

While interest in East Moline's
election Tuesday was largely wrap
ped up in the outcome of the wet
and dry battle, the aldermanic con-
tests were not lost sight of. Con-
trary to expectations the Citizens
party was given something of a set
back when the Independents car
ried two of the four wards and tied
the vote in another, leaving only
one district for the former
There were three parties in the
field. Citizens Socialists and indie
pendents. In the First ward, Os-
card Lundeen, incumbent, sought
reelection on the Citizens ticket,
but was defeated by ]. R. Newton,
Independent, by So votes, the for
mer polling 9O4 ballots and the lat
ter 362. c. A. Johnson, Socialist,
had sc supporters.
1t was in the Second ward that
the tie occurred, Albert D. Smith,
Citizens, and Emil DeDoncker, In
dependent, each receiving PA. W.
F. Allen, Socialist, got 81. If the
official canvass shows the same fig
ures, it is probable straws will be
drawn to determine the winner
In the Third, Ely Darras, Citi-
zens, had no trouble winning from
Fred M. Miller, Independent, having
a margin of 80 votes. ]. r. New
burg, Socialist, made a surprising
showing with a total of 149 bS1-
lots, crowding Miller who polled
161.
AS an aftermath of the bitter pri-
mary fight which was made by men-
bers of the Citizens party in the
Fourth ward, C. A. Wood, indie
pendent, defeated E. L. Hogue.
Citizens nominee, by 70, the former
having PIT votes and the latter 1873,
with % for A. J. Brecher, Social
ist. Both Hogue and Wood sought
the nomination of the Citizens party
for alderman. The former won and
Mr.. Wood came out as an indie
pendent. When the petition to have
his name placed on the ballot was
filed with City Clerk w Dale Cham
bers, Fred Schave filed a protest
attacking the petition, claiming
that it did not have the required
number Of legal signatures and
that all of the names were not Sc
cured in the presence of B. B. Ellis,
who certified to the paper. A COM
mission composed of Mayor George
F. Johnson, City Clerk W. Dale
Chambers and Alderman ]. F.
Ryan. chosen by lot as the council
member. conducted hearings and de-
cided that, eliminating the names
which Mrs. Laura Trevillyan admit
ted she had secured, there were
still enough signatures on the pc
tition to make it valid and ruled that
the name should go on the ballot.
Mr. Wood then conducted a vigor-
Gus campaign and how well he
worked is evident from the vote
which he received.
Members of the city commission
will meet Friday evening to can
vass the election returns.
