She stopped and looked into my eyes
and looked into hers.
"May I kiss you?" I asked, and
afraid, with cheeks burning.
She turned away and answered: "I
guess you can if you want to-"
Now seem to be in Aladdin's tower
and to see her standing so red and
graceful and innocent in the sunlight,
and that strange fire kindled by our
kisses warns my blood again.
That night I heard a whispered con-
ference below after I had gone up
stairs. I knew that something was
coming and wondered what it might
be. Soon Uncle Peabody came up to
our little room looking highly serious.
I sat, half undressed and rather fear
full, looking into his face. AS l think
of the immaculate soul of the boy, I
feel a touch of pathos in that scene.
think that he felt it, for remember
that his whisper trembled little as he
began to tell me why men are strong
and women are beautiful and given in
marriage.
"You'u be falling in love one o.
these days." he said. 'Tt's natural ye
should. You remember Rovin' Kate?"
he asked by and by.
"YeS," / answered.
"Some day when you're little older
I'll tell We her story an you'll see
what happens when men an women
break the law O. God. Here's Mr..
Wright's letter. Aunt Deel asked me
to give it to you to keep. You're old
enough now an you'll be goin' away to
school before long, I guess"
took the letter and read again the
guperscription on It's envelope:

Uncle Peabody had made for me and
wondered again what it was all about,
and again that night L broke camp
and moved further into the world over
the silent trails of knowledge.
Uncle Peabody went away for few
days after the harvesting. He had
gone afoot, I knew not where. He
returned one afternoon in a buggy
with the great Michael Hacket of the
Canton academy. Hacket was a big,
brawny, red-haired, kindly Irishman
with a merry heart and tongue, the
latter having a touch of the brogue of
the green isle which he had never seen,
for he had been born in Massachusetts
and had got his education in Harvard.
He was then man of forty.
"YOu're coming to me this fall" he
said as he put his hand on my arm and
gave me little shake. ''Lad you've
got pair of shoulders! Ye shall live
in my house an help with the chores
if ye wish to-"
''That'll be grand" said Uncle Pea
body, but, as to myself, just then, I
knew not what to think of it.

BOAT IMPROVED
FOR EXCURSION
Sidney, Of Streckfus Lines, is Made
Non-Sinkable Vessel, During
Winter.

The Streckfus Steamboat line at
considerable expense, during the
past winter, has built 25 watertight
compartments in the hull of the ex-
cursion steamer Sidney, which
makes it absolutely non-sinkable.
Any one, or even three or four of
the watertight compartments can
fill with water and still the boat
will float on an even keel. The line
claims this to be a wonderful
achievement in steamboating on the
Mississippi, and it is a distinctive
Sidney feature not to be found on
other steamers in this vicinity.
The Sidney has been operating at
New Orleans through the winter
season. making a 30-mile sightsee-
ing trip around New Orleans won
derful harbor every afternoon, and
a moonlight dancing trip every
night. The Sidney has New Orleans
jazz band that has proven great
favorite with the dance fans of. the
southland, and Captain Roy Streck-
fus who will again command the
boat this summer, has arranged
to bring this band along for the
season on the upper river.
During the influenza epidemic,
while the Sidney ceased operations,
a large force of men was busy re-
building and remodeling the boat,
and today it looks like an
entirely different steamer. In ad-

ISEES A VICTORY
FOR THOMPSON
Quincy Man, Head of Judicial Com
mittee, Predicts Majority for
Rock Island Man Tuesday.

| Arthur R Roy of Quincy, secre-
/ tary of the Democratic committee
for the Fourth supreme judicial
! district, confidently predicts the
election of Floyd E. Thompson of
this city to the supreme bench
April 1. The Quincy Herald says:
When judges in the fourteen
counties in this judicial district
get through counting the ballots, a
week from tonight, Floyd E.
Thompson of Rock Island, the
Democratic party's candidate
against George H. Wilson, of
Quincy, will come out we'll ahead
in the race for the supreme court
| judgeship.
This is the opinion of Arthur
r. Roy, recently chosen chairman
of the Democratic judicial commit
! tee of the district, and MIR. Roy
has opportunity to figure out the
vote as accurately as anyone
! Through the other members of the
committee, one in each county, he
has been keeping a trained eye on
the voters, and changes of senti-
ment and capitalization of it come
to his knowledge quickly, as chair
| man of this committee. His opin-
ion is based on the observations of
these other members of the COM
mittee, scattered throughout the
district.
''Mr. Roy expressed his conf
dence in Thompson's victory in the
following statement today: From
reports from each of the fourteen
counties in this district, it is my
view that Floyd Z. Thompson will
be elected on April l. The out
standing feature is his strength in
Rock Island, his home county, and
in Adams county, the home of his
opponent. The majorities which
he will receive in these two coun-
ties, in my view. will not be over
come by the other counties in the
district. All the eastern counties
are Democratic, except Morgan,
and the northern counties will not
overcome the Democratic vote in
eastern counties plus what he will
receive in Adams and Rock Island
Counties"

MOTOR EXPRESS
FOR MARKETING
Wagon and Team Plus Annoying
Trip to Town Near Adjustment
Says Farm Agent.
WILL FOLLOW IN NEAR FUTURE
Should be Next Development After
Hard Roads Connect Farm
and City Centers-

Away with the wagon and team
and the annoying daily or weekly
trip to town from the farm, for the
motor express is coming, With the
advent of state hard roads, the in
novation should prove an important
factor in the marketing of farm
produce within the very near fu-
ture, according to the prediction OF
Palmer r. Edgerton, county farm
advisor.
Regular transportation by motor
is past the experimental stage, and
it's coming to this locality will be
only a development and an extern
sion rather than an innovation "
said Mr. Edgerton. 1T has reached
the point of success in eastern
states.
THE plan of operation is to per-
feet organizations of producers and
consumers around community cen
ters. In the rural parts there is al
ways a community center. Some
times it is around school house,
sometimes it is around a church,
sometimes it is around a lodge hall,
but is a place of gathering for peo-
pie of each community.
I'm the cities there are similar
gathering places in each section.
"A city agent will be in touch
with all of the consumers within a
certain territory. The work is large
ly one of communication and can
be done by a woman. She may re-
ceive orders for dressed chickens,
for butter and eggs or for garden
products. She may then communi-
cate with the locality that is fur
nishing these articles to her center.
and she has at hand information as
to where to place the orders. From
the rural center, where the articles
are gathered. the motor truck will
transport them to the city center of
distribution.
by these agencies the several
city communities will be served
from the rural community centers
on short notice with fresh produce
Trucks Equal Rail Car.
-Four motor trucks have the
capacity of an ordinary freight car,
when speed with which they &C
complish transportation is taken
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-03-29

into consideration. The average
freight car travels about twenty
miles day. Although it actually
has greater carrying capacity
than true trucks, the speed OF the
motor vehicles permitting more
trips, makes an equal capacity for
delivery, in the proportion of four
trucks to one freight car.
"All of this depends, of course,
upon highways that can be travel
ed all the year. The hard roads are
coming. They are now a certainty.
My belief is that the motor express
will be the next development. If the
farmer is to benefit by the hard
roads it must be largely in the i'm
proved facilities in reaching mar
kets and turning into cash his pro-
duce when the prices make possible
a profit.

SITE OF ANNUAL
HORSESHOE MEET

St. Petersburg, Fla, March %
"Barnyard Golf" the new name for

Y, was elected treasurer.
The second annual "Barnyard
Golf" tournament for the champion
ship of America will be held again
in st. Petersburg during February,
1920, in which experts the country
over will participate. There are
thirty perfect courts in st. Peters
burg open the year around for low
ers of the game.
At meeting of the rules commit
tee held here, several important
changes were made and among
them was the scoring of tourna-
ment games. Hereafter fifty points
will constitute a game in all titular
matches, while regulation contests
will remain at 81 points. The dis
lance between the pegs which are to
be of steel, has been placed at 40

Rock Island county is the most important
in this judicial circuit, in this senatorial dis
trict in this congressional district and in this

An yet it has neither circuit Judge, a
member of the state house of representatives,
a congressman, and it never supplied a
member of the state supreme bench.
Isn't it rather strange how consistently we
have been ignored in political way?
There is an election next Tuesday to fill the

MEXICANS WAKING UP
TO NECESSITY OF ROADS

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Sept l (by Asso-
ciated Press) .-COntinuing his an
nounced policy of providing Lower
California as soon as possible with
a system of fine highways that will
compare favorably with those to be
found anywhere in the United States,
Governor Estazan Cantu of Lower
California, Mexico, is now engaged in
the construction Of a new road from
Tijuana to Ensenada.
The new highway, it is stated, will
be siXty-tWo miles in length against
a distance of ninety miles that has
to be travelled between the two cities
over the present highway. This
shortening of the distance has been
accomplished by the elimination Of
many of the roundabout grades. The
type of road being constructed is the
same as the fine military highways
between Tiajuana AM MeXicali, and
Mexicali and Ensenada.
Three forces of men, it is stated,
are now at work. One crew is work
ing south from Tiajuana, another north
from a point near Ensenada, and the
third crew is engaged about midway
between the two cities.
