CHARLES v. BARNETT
RESIGNS OFFICE TO
SEEK ANOTHER ONE

In order that he may give his at
tention fully to the commercial de-
velopment of an apparatus of which he
is the inventor and which is designed
for the heating of automobiles, aero
planes and motorboats, and in order
further that the way may be cleared
for his candidacy for the nomination
10 the office Of city commissioner,
Charles w. Barnett, who for nearly a
quarter of a century has uninterrupt-
edly served as city assessor and tax
collector, yesterday rendered his resig-
nation to City Manager V. A. Thomp-
son. When it was apparent that Mr..
Barnett was determined to relinquish
the office he has held so long and the
duties of which he has so faithfully
performed, Manager Thompson an
nounced that Frank 2. Baptist. a we'll
known business man of this city, would
be named as his successor. the appoint
ment effective upon the filing by Bap-
tist of the necessary sureties.
Both the retirement of Barnett and
the selection Of Baptist as his sue
cessor came yesterday as a complete
surprise to all but those in the closest
touch with affairs at the city hall AL
though Manager Thompson had known
for several days that the resignation
would be forthcoming shortly, he took
few PEOPLE into his confidence with
the result that a successor had been
chosen before word had gone forth of
the impending change.
Work On invention for Years
While the stepping down from office
of Assessor Barnett after these many
gears is of itself an important news
happening. the fact that he has pro-
gressed so far with the development
OF the heating appartus upon which
he and Joel Z. Meacham, also of this
city, have been working for the past
four or five years. that its commercial
success is now assured, is of more than
local importance 1t is known now
that with the covering fully OF the in
vention OF every necessary patent, Mr.
Barnett and Mr.. Meacham are nego-
tiating with a well-known manufac-
turer of automobiles for the use oi
their patent as a regular equipment OF
the output of machines by the CON-
pany. Preliminary experiment to this
end are to be conducted at the Nc
Arthur Brothers establishment.
The invention relates to certain new
and useful improvements in heaters
for motor vehicles, flying machines
airships, launches and the like. and
it has for its objects among others tc
provide a simplified and improved
heating system which in use shall act
also as a muffler and in which the
construction is such that there is less
back pressure on the engine than here
tofore and in which the heat is evenly
distributed and the clothing of the oc-
cupants of the car the robes, etc. will
not be burned by coming in contact
with the heating castings.
II has for further object to provid,
a heating system by which the from

WALKER BURT|S MAY
Be AMONG THOSE
ON TUSCAN|A

Walker Burtis of Phoenix, son OF Mr..
and Mrs. d. H. Burtis, is believed to
have been upon the transport which
was sunk. Walker Burtis is a member
of the 1O7th Engineer train of the 32nd
division of engineers. 1t was this en-
gineering train and division which fur
nished most of the soldiers who were
upon the Tuscania when she was tor
pedoed. 1t is known that young Burtis
was to have sailed for Europe and the
war front about a week ago. which fits
in with the known facts in this case.
OF course there was no way of find
ing out last night whether he was
upon the ship or whether, if upon the
vessel, he was saved, but with SO large
a proportion of the men saved he has
q chance at least of being among those
rescued.

farmer TO PUT
LIBERTY LOAN
over TOP AGAIN

Atlanta, Ga.-The Treasury Depart
rent Of the United States is depend
ing upon the farmer to put the fourth
Liberty Loan triumphantly over the
top in the South, just az he did in
the Third Loan, when the percentage
OF subscriptions from the rural dis'
tricts was very high, the farmer sub
scribing to by far the greater share OF
the issue.
The card system to be used in this
campaign will enable the committees
and the government to keep careful
check on the subscriptions made by
every man in the country, and by eV'
cry occupation. The government il
anxious that every citizen own at
least few Liberty bonds, and those
who are shown on the record not to
have invested at all will be especially
solicited.
Reports from the county chairmen
Of Libertr Loan committees to w. c.
WGrdlaw, district executive chairman
and ST. Elmo Massengale, director OF
publicity, Indicate absolute optimism
for the Fourth loan, despite theAhigh
er quotas assigned every territory.
Our people have given their sons
and brothers to this war;" they say
DO you think they aCe not going to
back up the boys with their dollars?'
"Oar Southern farmers, too, have
been taught the value of bonds as an
investment. too The other campaigns
were campaigns of education, but this
isn't SO necessary now. Every man
who hss bend or two tucked away
in his strong box or In the bank is
anxious to put few of the Fourth
isaua beside them"
The carupalgn for the Fourth loan
.Ij.lreli tinue only three weeks, from
SnpterGer rs to October 10, inclusive.
Within ttat time each county and
state must raise its quota. 1t will take
hard work on the part of the commit
tees. and this will be made much cas-
Ter by every mans making up his
mind what he can invest in bonds and
meeting the committee half way.

Fourth LIBERTY LOAN
CAMlPAIaN ISAT HAND

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
to give every American an opportunity
to lend to his own government money!
to win the war and drive the Hum
back over the Rhine is now at hand. |
In every county in the state there is al
Liberty Loan committee, composed oil
loyal, energetic citizens, who are sub
scribing literally themselves and en.E
courag 'ng others to subscribe.
1t is believed that the task Of OBJ
tanning subscriptions will be far cas-
Ter in this loan than in the past, de-
spite the greatly increased QuotasS
given every zone and county. For,l
surely the American people havej
learned by this time what Liberty
Loan means, what it will do for theI
country and what it will do fer thel
man, whether he be farmer or mer
chant or laborer, who saves his mon.]
Uncle Sam. There is really no rea.
son why one loyal American should
have to chase another loyal American
all over ten-acre field to ask him.
to do his duty.
It is believed that in this campaign
much greater proportion Of citizens
will go voluntarily to the banks or to
the committee and make their sub
scription directly, obtaining Liberty
Loan button and thus declaring they
have done their duty to their country.
A great many of our citizens have
registered for the new draft, but they
realize that there is but slight oppor,
tunity of their services being actually
required in the war. It would be an
excellent thing if these men whose
names are now on the roll and who
feel sure Of exemption because Of &ge
or family dependents or disabilities
would consider themselves, even BOW,
"in the service" and devote wAatsrer
part of their income they can spare
to lending to their government

GRAB A LEAD RIGHT AT START
BY KEITH NELSON.

The Rock Island high school
slaughtered the Geneseo high school
basketball team last night at the
Young Mems Christian association
gymnasium by score Of 60 to "A. The
game was fast one at intervals. but
for the most of the time it was slow.
Rock Island only at few times did
it's very best while Geneseo did
its best throughout the game. In
the second half Coach Anderson OF the
local school put in his line OF subs,
but the scoring in the second nall
seemed to pile up faster than in the
first. In the first half the islanders
had the same experience that they had
in the Davenport game when it came
to shooting baskets. Rock Island
could not make baskets, it seemed, IN
the Davenport game and this was the
same way, it seemed, in the first half,
but when the second half started the
Islanders could find the basket with
their eyes shut Captain ''Pinky' Ia
Der of the Islanders seemed to be the
star when it came to baskets, having
10 chalked to his credit. For the WISH
tors Lambert was the shining light.
Lambert is captain of this years team
and was member of last years team.
The Islanders started the scoring
when Paul Anderson made basket in
the first few minutes of play. Geneseo
came in in the next minute and made
foul basket and then the Islanders
started a squirt and it was nearly five
minutes before the Geneseo boys could
break up Rock Islands team work.
The Rock Island players did consider
able fouling and it nearly ruled out
some of the Islander men. Geneseo
was very careful in the fouling line
against them. Siemon, who has been
laid up since the Davenport game with
a sore shoulder, participated in part
of the game and while in there he
grabbed off five baskets. Siemon's
shoulder is gradually growing back to
it's normal condition and he will be
able to be in the Moline game. Dopp
and Heimbeck, the two Islander
guards, worked like old pals at the
game and did much in keeping down
the Geneseo score. Dopp, playing run
ming guard, grabbed off six baskets
while Heimbeck, who played station
airy guard only had one shot at the
basket and missed. Carl Rydholm
went good for the few minutes that
he was in the game. but coach Ander-
son took him out of the fray soon aft
er the game had started. In the sec
ond half Erbstein, Greeves and Lamp
replaced the first team men and did
some valuable work. The next Is
lander game will be with the old-time
rivals. Moline The game will be play
ed on the Moline floor, Saturday night
