CROSS WORKERS HE'S TOO FAT
TO EAT CANDY-STOPS IN CITY

Ex-President William Howard
Taft was served yesterday by the
Rock Island Red Cross canteen.
That is, the canteen workers offer
ed him some of their good things,
but he would not partake He did,
however, express himself very fully
as to just how fine was the work
of the Red Cross and it's canteen
service.
1t happened this way:
A train pulled in, and as always
the Red Cross was on the spot.
And while the soldiers were being
served the canteen workers noted
that among the passengers observ-
ing the work was former President
William Howard Taft. One of the
workers who was commanding the
canteen for the day offered MIR.
Taft both cigarets and candy.
His answer was, Il do not smoke,
and I am too fat to eat candy"
Nevertheless, Mr.. Taft chatted
with the workers till the train
pulled out, and he commended the
Red Cross in general and the local
canteen in particular for the SER
vice they are rendering the uni
formed men.
But this was not the only sur
prise of yesterday.
Some time ago when the Daven-
port recruiting officers first arriv-
ed they stepped of the train very
tired and very hungry. And the
local canteen set before them a
regular" dinner-a piping hot
meal.
Present Calendar.
1t tasted SO good to the men that
they assured the Red Cross work
ers that they would never forget it,
and that some day they would try

EXPECTS TUMBLE
IN PRICES OF FOOD

BOARD BELIEVES PRICES WILL
REcEDE IN NEAR FUTURE.
Makes Statement of Interest to the
Ultimate Consumer After a Con-
terence With Food Administra-
tion Officials at New York.

Neutrality-suspicious. food in the
near future was predicted on March
"A by Chairman Peek of the depart
ment of commerce industrial board,
as Il result of conference with food
administration officials in New York.
Mr.. Peek said there had been gen.
eral misunderstanding of a recent
statement by Mr.. Hoover that wheat
might go to $3.50 bushel, and he
added that the million dollar grain ap-
preparation was made by congress to
enable the public to get wheat pro-
ducts at seasonable prices, as well as
to make good the guarantee to the
producer. ..,.. b..
With wheat prices reasonable, Mr..
Peek said, reasonable prices of other
products could be expected because
wheat was the barometer of the food
trade.
After explaining the situation re-
garding the grain appropriation bill,
Mr.. Peek said: ..,...., .....
II believe, therefore, that there is
every reason to expect lower food
prices in the relatively near future.
This view, believe, the men in
charge of the affairs Of the food adj

Perfect work is assured with the

San cO.-COnfirmatiOn of the
execution of the former emperor of

once royal family were subjected to
indignities and mistreatment in the
presence of the former car before the
executions took place, General Paris
said.
A few days following the murder the
bodies were taken under cover of night
by automobiles into nearby villages,
where they were cut into small pieces
and burned separately. The charred
remains were found by officers of the
forces opposed to the Bolsheviki.

Optimistic Mood.

Washington. - Edward n. Hurley,
chairman of the United States ship
ping board, has rendered report to
his colleagues of the board on the re-
suit of his mission abroad to get in
formation ON the shipping situation
of the world as result of the war,
Mr.. Hurley says: my observation,
during the three months spent abroad
and in the midst of the great events
following the signing of the armistice,
have afforded convincing proof that
the matter of merchant shipping is
now one of universal interest. Every
nation is alert to the vital bearing Of
ships upon their future prosperity. But
the chief interest centers on whether
America can henceforth maintain her
new place upon the seas or whether
she must now disband the energies
that brought her merchant fleet into
being. There is every reason for be-
lieving that America has come back
upon the ocean-t0 stay. My observa-
tons compel optimism"

~ AND IMPLEMENT

The secret of the speed and power
OF tie Moline Universal lies in its
perfected ovcrhead-valve engine and
two-Nilccl construction. The engine
develops 10 horsepower at the belt.
and at the drawbar, every ounce Of
which is available for pull. There
are no dead wheels to drag along
that only carry weight and steer.
For blowing in extremely soft
ground, the Moline Universal is
equipped with a differential lock that
enables the two drive wheels to be y
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When blowing the land wheel is
raised so that the tractor is level.
The wheel is very easily and quickly
raised or lowered.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and its high
clearance, 2oH inches, make it adapt-
ed for all other field work, besides
blowing. With it one man can plant

According to writer in Everybody's
Magazine, "Patti lives, not only IN our
hearts, but really, in the flesh, at the
age of seventy-six, in her magnificent
castle of Craig-y-Nos, ten miles north
of Swansea, in South Wales, on which
she has spent quite half a million
She lives there with her third husband,
Baron Cederstrom, and sometimes,
when they feel inclined, they throw
open their theater, replica of the
Baireuth theater, to the countryside
and give one of the operas in which
Patti once thrilled the world. Until
recently Patti was even sometimes
prevailed upon to appear at Albert hall
In London for the benefit Of some char
ity, but her beauty is quite gone-it
vanished far earlier than her voice
and so for the most part she Is hap
piest in her Welsh Businesses among
the neighbors, who will always call her
the Queen Of Wales"
