give his services to his country, he en-

said that in Ploromel there wasn't
young man in the place, unless sick or
crippled, only old men, for everybody
else had gone to the war, and many had
been killed. He was one of the guard of
honor at Brest for President and Mrs.
Wilson and their party when they landed,
so had an excellent opportunity of seeing
them, with General Pershing, and other
notables.

Hunt and Golden admitted that
they had entered the Peterson
brothers store at Sixth avenue and
Ninth street. They robbed the
place of So in cash.
The other boys, Farden, Garriga
and Rind, said that they were the
ones who broke the panel in the
side door of the Fred Hodges
store at GIL Fourth avenue and
took cigarets, gum and pair of
shoes.
Some of the lads are on record
in the city for previous offenses,
while for others the burglaries
marked their first offense.
Skillful1y Done.
Police say that the burglary at
the Hodges store had all the ap-
pearance of the work of skilled
burglars and that there was some
doubt held as to whether or not the
offenders were boys.
The case against the boys was
carried into the county court where
they were to have been arraigned
some time today. The majority of
the lads will probably be sent to a
reform school. Allen Rind, be-
cause of his age, will be tried in
police court.

EGGS COME FAST
IF YOU PROVIDE
MUSIC FOR HENS

If you want your hen to lay an
egg a day for you just treat her
regularly with rare selections from
grandopera on your monograph.
Music has charms and it certainly
can humor the barnyard folk into
a wonderful and generous mood.
At least that is the contention
of Mrs. w. S. Mccullough of Tay-
lor Ridge, who is a great fancier
believer in good music. The first
of the year she bought a fine new
photograph, and sweet lullabyes
were soon floating across the barn
yard
Four days later Plymouth Rock
hen, one of the finest in Mrs. Nc
Colough's flock, ambled up to the
porch, found a convenient nest in
an old soap box, and cooked her
ear, the better to hear the sweet
ditty eminating from the music
box on the other side of the wall.
That day Mrs. Plymouth Rock laid
an egg in said porch nest, the first
one of a series that bids fair to
establish a record in these parts.
This very remarkable hen has laid
continuously since that day, Jan.
5, with the exception of four
days" as Mrs. Mccullough ex-
planned it, when she laid off for
recuperation."
Yesterday she laid her 92nd egg.

ment. One of them observed today
1T is great to see patriotism surge

1t was easy for a man to do his BIZ
when the exigency of war demanded
it, but for a time it seemed that
when our boys had swung the tide
to victory in the world war, there
was a relaxation from this tense
spirit But you can feel its under
current today.
People are happy and glad tc

but very few who care to spoil theil
records. There must be nothing
short of 100 percent patriotism &C

same sort of vim that was employed

ships and Decide Final Plans
for Successful Finish.

Have you seen the large red,
white and blue posters with the
capital Y and wondered exactly
what its significance is?
Well, it is to call your attention
to the Victory Liberty loan, and it
also suggests that each and every
one be a volunteer in the coming
drive.
Plans for the drive in the lower
half of Rock Island county are De-
ing evolved with great rapidity by
those executives who are in charge
or the campaign. Officially, the
drive starts April 81 and continues
through April &c. However, opinion
locally is that biggest results may
be attained by putting bonds on sale
April II when buyers of the one
best investment may purchase vol
UNFAIRLY their proper allotment
Time for this. volunteer investment
will be for three days only, and to
make it most convenient for every
one, precinct captains are arrang-
ing to have subscription booths in
every polling place of the city. Vol
unteer committees will be in these
8 o'clock each of these three days
and will be prepared to supply
everything necessary for carrying
though the transaction.
The Liberty Loan workers urge
that subscriptions be made on one
OF these days, inasmuch as this Is
q loan in celebration Of victory, and
as we'll time for Thanksgiving,
be house to house canvass and It
Is not tho intention to call upon
those who purchase their bonds
prior to that time. During the in
terval from April 10 to %, there
will be a systematic check and tab
ulation OF results of the first three
days.
There will BIO a luncheon meeting
of precinct captains Saturday noon
ut the Rock Island club to be fol-
lowed by meeting of township ex-
ecutive committees at 2 o'clock. At
these meetings. there will be a very
thorough going over of plans and
instructions. SO that in their turn
other workers may be informed
precisely as to their functions in
the drive. Each precinct captain is
to assemble his team workers for
the purpose Of personal instruction
and to see to 1t that he has his full
quota Of eight teams ready to take
the field.
