BAKERS NABBED
FOR VIOLATION
LICENSE LAWS
Rock Islanders Placed Under Ar
rest in Davenport for Failure
TO Take Out Permit.

Rock Island bakers, who deliver
their wares to Davenport custom
ers, who have ordered by phone, DO
not need a peddling license to OPP
crate in Davenport, according TO
City Clerk Hugo Moeller.
Information filed with the Daven-
port police by the Davenport Bak-
ers' club led to the arrest of two
Rock Island bakers who have been
regularly distributing bread in tnat
city.
The case OF H. Pagan was tried in
police court by Police Magistrate
John C. Higgins who held that the
defendant was violating the section
of the city ordinance which requires
peddlers to take out a license.
On that ruling, Pagan was fined
IS and costs and the fine was re-
mitted with the understanding that
Pagan would take out such a
license.
Application was duly made to
City Clerk Moeller, who declined to
issue a license on the ground that
Pagan did not need one. He declar-
ed that If the baker had peddIed his
wares openly in the street, he would
need a license, but that he did not
need one If he delivered only TO
regular customers who had placed
their orders with him beforehand.
Stirs Up Controversy.
A. Blitz was the second Rock Is
land baker arrested. His case was
scheduled for police court.
The city clerks stand may stir up
a controversy on the Interpretation
Of the ordinance, since a represen-
tative of the Davenport bakers
club stated in police court that C1ty
Attorney Frank Betty believed
license was necessary.

BUY YEAST FOR
BREAD OR ELSE
YOU BREAK LAW
If You Purchase the Compressed
Cake for intoxicating BeVer-
age You Are Liable.

When you plank down your nick
Ell for a cake of compressed yeast
at the grocery store be sure you
are buying it for bread.
If you purchase it with the in
tention OF using it to manufacture
intoxicating beverage, you are vio-
lating the state law.
And dealers who advertise, sell,
or keep for sale, compounds for
the manufacture of intoxicating
liquor, violate the state law laid
down in the search and seizure act
recently passed.
However, to save your conscience
from bothering you, when you in
vest in any of these beer com
pounds for your home brewery, you
might find some consolation in the
thought that even congress and the
courts are at issue over the per-
centage of alcohol a drink requires
to become intoxicating. Thus, if
you do not place a heavy kick in
your product, you are sliding along
within the law as far as has been
determined to date.
Take a slant at section 4 of the
search and seizure act.
Whoever shall, within prohibi-
ton territory, in any manner man
ufacture. advertise, sell, keep for
sale, order, purchase, receive,
transport, take an order for, give
away or in any manner dispose of
any compound or tablet from which
intoxicating liquor as a beverage is
made shall be punished in the man
ner prescribed in section 8 of this
act"

Fx-Queen Marie Amelie, who
has made her home in England
since the overthrow of the mon
archy in Portugal. lives in a
charming house in Richmond Park,
near London. Amelie is one Of the
most attractive women Of Euro
pean royalty. Her fifty odd years
have scarcely dimmed her beauty.
She has always been keenly inter
ested in science, and she studied
medicine and took her degree.
Riding and swimming are her ia
vorite recreations and she is ex-
pert in both of these outdoor pas
times. She once plunged into the
water and saved a fisherman from
drowning. and in the same way
rescued two children.

One Of the .oneliest inhabited
spots on the globe is Tristen da
Cunha, a small and rugged island
between Cape Colony and South
America. 1t was occupied by some
British artillery in 1917 for the
purpose Of keeping an additional
watch on the island of ST. Helena
when Napoleon was a prisoner. On
his death, in 1921. all the soldiers
were withdrawn, except three men,
who, with some whale hunters,
founded the tiny settlement now
numbering about rs people. In
this lonely settlement there is
neither strong drink nor crime,
and the inhabitants are healthy
and Iong-lived. The only regular
communication with the outside
world is a visit from a warship
once a year.

Weight for weight, amber today
is far more costly than gold. The
reason for this is that nearly all
amber comes from Germany. and
as none has been exported in near
ly five years. there are practically

BATTLESHIP OREGON.
OUT Of Commission
Ship Spanish War Made
Famous Has Outlined
It's Usefulness.

SAN FRANcIsco. May 17.-''Good
bye dear old Oregon" was the senti-
ment voiced by hundreds of men.
women and children during the last
week Of tho Victory Liberty loan cam
paign when they visited the famous
old battleship for the last time as she
lay at anchor in San Francisco bay.
Within few weeks the grim fighter
OF nearly a quarter of a century ago
will take her place with the "consti-
tuition in the hearts Of the American
people; the Oregon will go out OF COM
mission and become memory.
A few weeks after the sinking of the
batteship Maine at Hanava the Orc
gon was In San Francisco harpur
when there flashed across the CONT
nent on March IL, 1898, from the Navy
department to the oregon's comman-
der an order to proceed to Callao

March IL, Captain Charles E. Clark
assumed command. and two days later
began the celebrated trip around the
Horn
Captain Clark was not advised that
war had been declared against Spain
until his arrival at Rio Janeiro, April
30. Great concern was felt in the Uni
ted States for the lonely Oregon as the
whereabouts of the Spanish fleet un-
der Admiral Grevera, which had just
left the Cape Verde Islands, was I'M
known
The nation breathed sigh OF relief
when word was received that the Ore.
gon had arrived safely at Jupiter In

miles made in 6S days. A few days
later she Joined Admiral SIMPSONS

ticipated In the great battle of Sunday,
July 8, 1898, when Cervera's fleet was
annihiiated. The Oregon forced the
Colon, the, last of the Spanish ships,
ashore 10 her destruction.
Subsequently the Oregon steamed
from New York to Manila where she
was on duty during the American OPP
cations in the Philippines VI late
years she has been used for training
school for young sailors and has been
the feature OF many celebrations and
other events.
She was built at the Union Iron

FOREST SERVICE MEN CRIPPLED

=
Forest Ranger, Bert Everett had an
last week in the woods that
has made him go lame since. While
using and ak the tool slipped and cut
his foot quite badly. He barely es-
capped cutting an artery in his foot.
Without first aid of any kind he did
what he could and started for civil
ization for help. The accident oc-
CURED thirty miles away near the
Canadian boundary and there were
thirteen portages to make with a
canoe on that trip in. Bert made it
however. and got help. but now, be-
fore starting back into the wild and
.woodsy lonesome he is selecting such
first aids as will cover everything
from "chiggers" to 'gooseflesh.' Chris
Tale, another forest ranger, is, just
out of a three weeks stay at he Sou
dan hospital. Chris also cut his foot
badly and blood poisoning set in and
some FIVE weeks have elapsed since he
was on duty. Chris walked eight miles
for help after cutting his foot. A few
rods more and he never would have
made it. ws

= OUGHT TO KEEP GOING

The man who puts an ad in the
paper one month, skips the next,
tries still another paper the next,
and waits year to see what happens,
gets results like a certain old hound
they tell about in Kentucky. 1t had
the stoutest heart, the soundest lungs
and the most willing legs in the
world. But it couldn't concentrate.
"That dog would start out before
sun-up. and track deer. It would
go swooping along, giving that ami
NAL run for its money, and just
when you would expect the deer to
be at bay, off would go Mr.. Dog after
q fox that it couldn't resist. The fox
is some runner too. And then just
when the contest became interesting,
Mr.. Dog would sniff rabbit and
make off after it. Result was, about
shutdown you would see that hound,
afteraa days hard work, barking
like thunder. because it had freed a
.chipmunk." @A
? The. advertiser who expects to get
returns must realize the need of con-
centration. Advertising is like the
traction hold. The big idea is to
get going and keep it up. It's the
"start and stops" that eat up time
and fuel. Keep going.-Succesful

A SCARCITY OF HOMES HERE.

There seems wonderful dearth of
houses for rent or sale. Hardly a
day passes but what inquiries come to
this office for houses. Someone should
fill this want by erecting homes for
the homeless. We must be housed
else the city cannot grow. There are
numbers of people here who want
homes and who are now rooming here
and boarding there wherever they are
able to find a place. We believe that
building conditions will remain as
they are for years to come. The ex-
pected come down in the price of the
lumber and building materials will
not materialize and may go still high
er than ever. Today Ely is about
full up. The vacant house and the
"For Rent" sign remind one Of the
molars in hen.
