two general furniture stores. Today

the stores, lives in a fine house on a

MUST Get into
WORLDS GAME
Charles Hurley. Y. VI. C.. A. Worker,
Says There is No More Sc
clusiOn Among Men.

That there is no more secIusion
in this day among men and that
all should get into the international
game is the message directed to the
prominent Moline business men and
women gathered at the Moline Com
mercial club Saturday noon by
Charles D. Hurley, Y. M. c. A man
who has seen long service in Italy
The dinner was given in honor of
Mr.. Hurley and Rev. T. K. Hu,
Chinese minister, who travels with
Mr.. Hurley.
I'VE are assured that the scien-
tific wonders of today will be out
stripped tomorrow" said Mr.. Hur-
rey. I'VE are told that soon we will
cross the Atlantic by airship and
will find it possible to eat breakfast
in New York and dinner in Dublin.
This does not seem improbable
when we learn that President VIII
son sat at his desk aboard his ship
miles out at sea and talked by tele-
phone to the secretary of the navy
at Washington. Commercial mes
sages will soon be sent entirely by
wireless to other countries and the
cable will be cast aside as an in
strument that has fulfilled its mis-
sion Men of all nations are today
rubbing shoulders and it is up to
us to make the process as pleasant
and beneficial as possible
Mr.. Hurley told how the Italians
loved the United States. He told
how $50 secretaries of the Y. NJ. C
A. who faced dangers in Italy,
worked and how they were awarded
with honorary ranks by the Italian
government. 'It has been our
won't" said the speaker, ''to call
the Italian the 'wop' and the
'dago, but had you come to know
these wonderful people as l do you
could never again speak slightingly
of them"
He also told of their talents
which they lent toward making the
soldiers happy.
Rev. HUI also spoke and gave
briefly an account of the needs of
the Chinese. Educated young men
and the growth of educational and
religious work in China mad not
support of the United States so that
China may sit back in idleness, is
what China is asking, said Mr.. HUI.
religious work in China and not
to support educational and relig-
ious institutions, but to bring edu-
Gated men to devote their time and
to direct the work in the Chinese
field.

CONTINUE WATTS
CASE FOR WEEK
Socialists Ask Continuance to Get
Authority to Show Ordinance
unconstitutional

Because Frank Hall, attorney ap-
pearing for the Socialists in the
Frank Watts case, wishes an oppor-
tunity to present authority that the
ordinance prohibiting speaking on
the streets of Moline is unconstitu-
tional, the hearing of Watts was
Saturday afternoon continued until
the latter part of this week. Magis-
9trate Frank GustafsOn granted the
continuance.
Watts was arrested over a week
ago for speaking on the streets
without permit Mr.. Hall declared
that the ordinance was unconstitu-
tional in so far as it contends to
leave control of the streets and
rights of citizens to "the whims of
individual commissioners and not
to the orderly processes of the law"
Officers Lebbert and Walling who
made the arrest testified that traffic
at Fifth avenue and fourteenth
street was interferred with and
that both streets and sidewalks
were partially blockaded as a result
Of the Socialist meeting. These same
witnesses for the city testified that
there was no disorder or disturb
ance at the meeting.
IF there are no rules or regula-
lions in accordance with which a
citizen can ask for and get a permit
to speak on the Streets" said Mr..
Hall, then the whims of the COM
missioners have been substituted
for law and the ordinance is in
valid"
Magistrate Gustafson did not give
an opinion as to the validity of the
ordinance

PARDON BOARD Is
MEETING SUCCESS
IN PAROLE PLANS

The state pardon board, in a
statement released for publication
today, declares that it is cooperat-
ing with Chicago police in its parole
plan with good success. The boards
statement in part follows:
Satisfactory and gratifying re-
suits have accompanied an agree
ment entered into in the early part
of February between the state
paroling authorities and the Chi
cago police department for the close
supervision of persons upon parole
in Chicago from the penal institu-
tons.
1.-THE plan for cooperation with
the Chicago police department in
the handling of persons upon parole
is the first effort made along this
line in the % years the indetermln-
ate sentence and parole law has
been in operation in Illinois.
Starting with two important es-
sentials the details of the plan for
cooperation between the police de-
Dartment and the divisions of par
dons and paroles now are well ma
tured and satisfactory results are be
ing obtained. The two important es-
sentials made the basis of co-opera-
ton scheme are as follows:
IF persons commit crime while
upon parole the state authorities
are as anxious to have them return
ed to the penitentiary as the police
authorities.
"If persons upon parole are max
ing an honest effort to redeem
themselves and are faithfully living
up to the parole agreement the po-
lice department must take the same
friendly interest IN their welfare as
the division of pardons and pa
roles"

MUSKMELON GREAT
BREAKFAST TREAT

Now Mr., Gardener, look dHedu
and imagine yourself going out into
the garden some fine dewy morning
this summer and picking the hrst
muskmelons for breakfast, says to-
DAVIS bulletin from the national
war garden commission of Wash
ington.
AS soon as frosts are past pre-
mare the melon corner by deep
blowing or spading and put two or
three forkfuls of well-rotted man
ure in each hill Make the hills
six feet apart each way, and work
the manure into the ground. Plant
eight or ten seeds in each hill, and
cover one inch deep. When the
plants are three or four inches high
thin out all but two or three of
them. Give good cultivation and
spray thoroughly.
If you can plant the seeds in
paper pots or bands or old berry
boxes so much the better to give
the plants good start. Or cut
pieces of sod inches square, place
them close together grass side
down and cover with a little rich
soil. Plant six or eight seeds above
each square and transplant sod and
all to the garden when warm
weather comes. Thin each hill TO
two or three plants after they are
nicely started in the garden.
Young muskmelon plants are rel
ished by several kinds of insects
The best thing to do is to use plan;
protectors as soon as the seeds
sprout. A light wooden frame with
cheesecloth tackled on, or small
boxes without tops or bottoms but
with cheesecloth tackled over the
tops will serve. These should be
left over the plants until a foot or
more of growth has taken place.
