IS VICTIM OF TWO
ACCIDENTS IN TWO
WEEKS; RECEIVERS

A strange fate seems to haunt David
Armstrong. formerly a resident Of this
city at 1905 Second street, who is now
farming near Springfield. Ill.
He is in St Johns hospital In
Springfield recovering from injuries
received Saturday evening when he
was struck by street car. He was
dragged some distance and a bore in
his leg was broken in two places.
Two weeks ago while driving a
horse and wagon he was thrown from
the wagon when 1t was hit by a car.
He sustained injuries to his head and
back.
Reports to local relatives today were
that he is getting along nicely and
probably will recover from the IN
juries received in the two accidents.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-02-14

He enlisted in the aviatio p branch.
of tie signal corps, and worff has been
received that he has now successfully
passed hts final examination = at Jener-
son barracks St. Louis. Many Of his
fellow students at the military acad-
envy also joined the coltJrs, going to
different branches Of Unc1e Sans
service.
Mr.. Phillips probably win Be as
signed to Camp Hancock. Georgia, or
Camp Kelly, Tex. for active training
in aviation work before going to

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
ENDORSES COUNTY FAIRS

The directors of the Marion County
Fair and Agricultural Association
will hold meeting at the board of
trade rooms on Monday, February
25th, at p. m.
Letters like the one we print be-
low are prompting the officers to do
their very best in behalf of a good
fair this year.
Mrs. A. Tweedy, Secretary,
Marion County Fair, Ocala, Fla:
Dear Sir: The various state and
county fairs of the country come in
contact with large number of peo-
pie not reached by the ordinary meth
DDS of publicity used in town and city.
We feel, therefore, that you, through
your fair, can be of great service to
the country in this time of emergency
in bringing before the citizens OF
your community certain facts con-
cerning the food problem.
This office stands ready to assist
you as far as possible in planning a
graphic exhibit on food conservation.
Should you feel that such an exhibit
is at all possible at your coming fair,
you are urged to communicate with
us at the earliest possible moment SO
that proper arrangements may be
made. Very truly yours,
u. s. Food Administration,
By Thos. G. Hull.

THE LECTURE
FRIDAY EVENING
Hear Sergeant Marshall Tell Why
America is at War with
the Huns

Do you know why the United
States is at war? Do you know thai
the murder of crown prince at
Sarajeyo was merely an incident, the
tiny fame that set fire to a confla-
grafton that long had threatened Eu-
rope? Do you know why the Germans
did not get to Paris on their triumph
ant march down the valley of the
Marne? Do you know why 100000
Germans failed to defeat 100000
Frenchmen at Verdun Do you know
why Germany must and shall be de-
feated? Do you know what is meant
when you speak of the morale" of
the French army?
These things and others viii be ex-
planned next Friday evening at 8
o'clock from the bandstand by Ser
geant Marshall of Cedar Rapids, Ia,
who speaks here under the direction
of the speakers bureau of the United
States treasury. Sergeant Marshall,
previous to his enlistment as a pri-
vate, served as first line driven with
the American Ambulance Field Serv-
ice in France. His experiences there
were of nature that equipped him
with a wonderful story, narrative
that explained as no theories can ex-
plain the situation in which our ma
ton finds itself today. His lecture
was used to arouse the people of the
Middle West before he was sent to
to Camp Cody, N. NJ, with the Iowa
National Guard, and it is reported
that great sums were raised for the
Red Cross and similar organizations.
The purpose of the treasury de-
partment in sending Marshall thru
the Southern states is to present,
through participant in the war, a
description of conditions that viii
serve to bring unqualified support for
every war measure that may be con-
ceived for the success of the Ameri-
can prosecution of the war.

LOCAL GRIsT MILLS
Enterprises that the Food Admins
traitor Desires to Encourage

Hon. Frank Clark, House of Repre-
sentatives, Washington, D. c.:
Dear Sir: Referring to your letter
of Feb. 18th to Mr.. Whitmarsh, and
confirming conversation this morning
with the writer, there are two ways
in which the local merchant may
purchase corn meal to balance his
purchases of wheat -four.
First, he may purchase -four from
his usual sources in smaller, quanti-
ties than usual and buy at the same
time an equal quantity of wheat flour
substitutes from the local mills. In
view of the fact that -four distribu-
ton is to be limited to 70To of the
usual supply, it will probably be
necessary for this merchant to buy In
smaller lots than heretofore.
Second, the local merchant may
buy wheat -four from his usual source
and contract at the same time for an
equal amount of wheat flour substi-
tutes from the local mill, but only
taking delivery from time to time Of
such amounts as can be handled
without wastage. A written statement
of the buyer to the wholesaler that
he has purchased the necessary sub
stitutes is all that is required.
The food administration is exceed
ingly desirous that the small local
grist mills be kept running, and if
the above suggestions do not cover
the case fully we shall be pleased to
1 take such other action as NAV be
necessary. Very truly yours,
u. S. Food Administration,
By r. Williams.
