made to accommodate revelers IN

Is It Needed
The street car company is not
certain as to the necessity for extra
service this time. With the alb
sence Of J. Barleycorn from the
scene, there is likely to be less uss
of the cars between Rock Island

However, it Is. anticipated that even
though sobriety must reign, dances

to be crowded with merrymakere

Ralph D. MacManus. publicity man
ager for Armour & Co., formerly Of
Rock Island, speaking to the Rock
Island Rotary club in regular meet
ing at the Rock Island club this
noon. He said that one reason for
misunderstanding was politics
the men investigating their case
having been deeply interested in
political affairs as a rule. Adverse
reports by the federal trade COM
mission were also due to the ex-
animation of witnesses who were
just prejudiced or under false ip-

would be competent to speak from
a knowledge of the business,
Mr.. MacManus ridiculed the idea
that it would be possible for any
concern to get absolute control
over prices and supplies OF pro-
ducts which anybody could market
and asserted that a number of un-
just claims concerning cornering
Of the market Of various commodi-
ties had been made public. He said
that about half of the products sent
out by packers are sold at an actu-
al loss, though the statement is not
one that will be readily believed

Within two days several Eundred
housewives of Rock Island are said
to have signed an agreement to

The campaign for a wholesale boy
colt on these two commodities in

The idea was conceived by Mrs.

after she had read in the daily pa
pers Of similar movements under
way in the larger cities Of the
country. Chicago principally. She
say she casually preached the SUBJ
ject to neighbors and friends, who
readily agreed with her that some
steps should be taken. The result
was that the aid Of a dozen or
more women of that section Of the
city was enlisted and a canvass Of
homes started.

Mrs. Walbaum asserted that a
half-dozen women are working this
afternoon in securing signers and
that it is the intention to conduct

The women also plan to bring
the matter to the attention Of the
