ONE EXHIBIT EVER
POPULAR WITH THE
CROWD AT GROUNDS

A chapter from the great American
home, presided over by little woman
whose ever winning smile warns the
hearts of the ever present crowd, and
a cup Of coffee fragrant as only coffee
can be when it is made by an expert
from the best brand obtainable, COM
bined with wonderfully delicious bis
cults made from valley flour by a
valley concern, is one way of describ-
ing the dual exhibit of Ben Hur coffee
and the Phoenix Flour mills, in the
domestic science building at the state
fair.
Such coffee combined with such
Biscuits happens but once in a life
time, unless two such brands of pro-
ducts are combined. It's a combina-
ton based upon perfect knowledge
OF the blending of coffee and products
made from Salt River Valley flour.
The exhibit Of Ben Hur coffee was
organized by L. A. Dietz, and attempts
were made to beautify the booth with
colored effects and fancy trimmings
but it need no decorations. Crowds
Just naturally gravitated in that direc-
tion, when they caught the aroma of
the coffee, saw the delightfully."- brown

FAMILY DRUDGERY
MADE PLEASANT BY
FAIR EXHIBITION

If the doing OF the family laundry is
not pleasure, and an economical
pleasure at that, it is not going to be
the fault of J. S. Addiss and John
Crner, in charge of the Blue Bird
washing machine exhibit at the state
fair.
There are only two washing ma
chimes in the exhibit, but they carry a
world of weight. In the days of old
when the head of the family Iabored
over several tubs of steaming soapy
water, from morn till night. the doing
Of the family laundry was a piece of
drudgery to be dreaded from week to
week. In these modern DAYS. these
piping times Of new inventions and an
pliances, there is no need for such a
dread. The Blue Bird has changed all
that. Located directly in front of the
domestic science building, the exhibit
Of modern washing machines was one
which attracted considerable attention
yesterday.
Everything about it is so simple. II
looks so easy to put a bunch of clothes
in the Blue Bird, turn on the Juice
and let the power do the rest. Then.
TOO there is an electric wringer. No
more pulling and Juggling at a refrac-
tory wringer handle, if the Blue Bird
is allowed its freedom in the average
American home. The wringer is re-
movable, thus making the top of the
washing machine serve as a table.

small to accommodate both a table and

store here, from which place the Blue
Bird will be distributed. He will also

pliances.

that he is up against q big business.
The large tent which houses the in

Every variety OF engine which will go,
is going. The men in charge of the ex-
hibit evidently believed that it was I'M
necessary to place machinery on ex-
hibition without showing what it can
Go and why it does it. To this end,
they are burning UP hundreds of gall
Ions of gasoline and making an equal
mount of noise. The exhibit one of
the finest of its kind on the grounds
was prepared by Ernest G. Coan.

The Avery line of farm implements,
the Ross Silo feeders, and the Hercules
engines are combined by the Pratt
Gilbert company to a distinct advan-
tage. Everything that an up to date
rancher could possibly use to make his
ranch more productive and make his
labors easier is on hand. The quick
and complete elimination of the draft
animal is foreshadowed the moment
one enters the Pratt-Gilbert exhibit.
One of the features of the exhibit
is the Jones tractor with a mower at.

At the Majestic

One of the most remarkable
scenes in the Allen Holubar super
film THE Hearts of Humanity
which is at the Majestic theater to-
day, Thursday and Friday, is a
hight between a man and dog in
which the dog is victor
The scene causes much specula-
ton as to the manner in which it
was accomplished, and it brought
out a behind the-scenes story
which reveals that the fight was
actually genuine.
The dog in the case was a stray
nut. half collie and the other half
uncertain, that had attached itself
to the children in the picture. Miss
Dorothy Phillips, the star, took
some interest il the canine which
was one of those beasts that seem
to want to make the world its
friends. But, one day when Miss
Phillips and Erich Won Stroheim,
the villain of the photo-drama, were
rehearsing a furious struggle the
dog jumped into the fray and took
a nip of Won Stroheim's leg.
For that, it was kicked out of the
studio but afterwards Director Hol-
ubar, who is also co-author of the
scenario, sent searchers for it. The
incident had given him an idea.
Why not, he argued, have a scene
between the dog and a secondary
william? 1t would be easy to inter
'polate il.

will play Moline at the local Y. M.

The tilt with the Plow city bas-

games to be held on the Un1Ver-
sity of Illinois floor at Urbara
next Friday and Saturday.
1t was announced yesterday that
Manager A. G. Hill of the local
school voted for Springfield as
Rock Islands choice of a tourney
site, but the majority OF the dls-
trict basket winners favored the
university floor.
But little trouble is expected in
disposing of the Swedes Saturday
night. The Moliners have already
bowed twice before the Rock Is
land machine and offered but little
competition to opponents at the
Galesburg district tourney. The
boys from Swedetown, however, as
sert that they have perfected Diff
ferent style Of play which promises
to be more than effective against
the machine work Of the Island
ers. AS a practice tilt in prepa-
ration for the tournament games
the Moline clash should prove
worth while.
Build Up Weak Points.
Although the fighting mettle at
the crimson and gold aggregation
was proven in the tournament
games, weaknesses were revealed
in the scoring machine. Team
play seemed to be built around An
derson at center, and by correctly
sizing up the situation the Gales
burg five came near be-ting the 10
Gals in the final and deciding con-
test of the tourney. Varied, shift
ing modes of both attack and de-
tense should make the crimson and
gold machine a strong contender
for state honors.

POLICE OFFICER SHOT
BY NEGRO DESPARADO
WHO MAKES ESCAPE

About o'clock Tuesday morning.
while Police Officer Jake Williams was
patroling his beat on the east side, he
was shot and perhaps seriously wound
ed by a negro. thought to be a boot
logger, who made a quick getaway.
Officer Williams, it seems, saw this
negro walking leisurely along the street,
near what is known as The Dive" and
asked him what he was doing at that
hour OF the night. The negro. accord
ing to the officer, saw who he was and
tossed some article into the grass as
the officer approached.
As Williams was looking for the ar
ticle. bottle that was broken, the
negro fired one shot and beat it as fast
as his legs could carry him.
The bullet inflicted a flesh wound
completely across Williams back. even
with his shoulders. The officer was ia
ken to the Hardy Sanitarium for treat
ment and a hunt for the fugitive begun.
The police rounded up 23 suspects and
placed them in the county Jail. Some
of these were charged with gaming.
but it is thought that the sheriff will
be able to elicit valuable information
from some of them as soon as he has
time to attend to the case.
Officer Williams is resting easily at
the sanitarium and will be able to re-
sumo his duties within a few days. un-
less Unforeseen complications arise.
