| TanIac," said W. H. H. Fouts, the
well known retired building con-
tractor residing at 81 West Vine
street, Canton. ILL.,, in an interest
! ing interview recently.
Mr.. Fouts is a veteran Of the
Civil war and fought in the famous
battle of Gettysburg. He is very
proud, and justly so, of the services
/ he rendered his country in those
irving days. Mr.. Fouts is a man
of unquestioned honesty and intag-
rity and one of Canton's most sab
stantial and highly respected citi-
zens. He has lived there over so
years.
For almost twenty years" he
continued, 81 have suffered from
stomach trouble and complications,
such as headaches, gas on my stom-

My heart would jump and palpitate
so on account of the gas on nv

hardly remember the time. I have
had such awful rheumatic pains in
my legs and such a drawing on
my muscles that many a night
would just have to get up and walk
about the room trying to get relief
But all is quite different with me
now. A few weeks back I began

the moment on which party plat
forms have never functioned be-
cause they could not foresee the
present economic disturbance.
Started i'm Usual Way.
The scene was all the more re-
markable because it began as usual
with a partisan display. Only the
Democrats clapped hands as Mr..
Wilson entered. Senator Reed of
Missouri, Democrat, was a conspic-
uous exception with his hands lock-
ed behind him. AS the president
slowly revealed how closely inter
woven the peace treaty and the
economic situation seemed to him
to be. again the Republicans smil-
ed cynically at what some of them
evidently regarded as a typical bit
of Wilsonian strategy. Senator
Fall, Republican. who said congress
can declare a state of peace with
out ratifying the treaty. didn't seem
impressed But the Democrats and
a few Republicans wondered if pos
sibly Europe's distressfuI condition
hadn't affected America somewhat.

At the Majestic.

The woman of fire and the cling
ing vine probably stand as the
chief types of characterization in
literature and the dramatic art. 1t
has remained for Miss Alice Joyce,
as star in the Vitagraph feature,
The Spark Divine" to portray the
comparatively new and daring type
of woman without a heart. This
picture will be shown at the Ma
jestic theatre tonight. The beau
tiful player draws upon a fine
store of emotional power to present
an icy character. Her achievement

find the Vitagraph star reaches her
big effects in THE Spark Divine"
by a peculiar, original sort of re-
preston. Her problem is to re-
strain and leash the emotions.
rather than to express them; ex-
cept in several smashing situations
where the fire that lies hidden in
the woman's arctic being is permit
ted to fare. The contrast produces
a telling effect.

demands brought instant approval
throughout the capitol.
Realize Wisdom of Words.
Even before Mr.. Wilson read his
message there were those of op-
posite political faith who remark
ed upon Mr.. Wilson's words Of
sanity. Indeed. it is said that as
the president finished his message
Senator John Sharp Williams,
Democrat, leaned over and, chat

Senators and representatives Of
both parties crowded around Pres

Kitchin came forward to congratu-
late him. Some said it was Mr.
Wilson's best utterance since the
message declaring war.
Repubs Happily Surprised.
Whether that is so or not, 1t GER

NEWSIES HAVE
FINE TIME AT
ANNUAL PICNIC
argus Team Cops HOnOrs in Ex-
citing Ball Game, Which Pre-
cedes Big Supper.

Members of the newsboys' union
enjoyed their sixth annual outing
at Watch Tower park yesterday
afternoon. with so in attendance. 1t
was a great time, as they are tell
ing today. and if one of the bunch
didn't have a good time the rest of
them were too happy to hear his
complaint.
Proceedings started off with a
baseball game in which The Argus
boys walloped the News Agency
team to the merry tune of 8 to l.
The game was exciting, and seemed
neck and neck until punched hits
by The Argus in the third and
fourth, together with close base
and hurting work, boosted their
score to the heights. This lasted
from o'clock, or shortly after they
reached the park, until near
o'clock
Then they were called TO lunch
by Isadore and Louis Andich. of
the news firm of Andich Bros, who
assisted the boys. Mrs. Louis An
dich was there with heaps of sand
witches she had prepared, and the
three served. There were sand
witches, ice cream, soda and fruits,
with other delicacies, and alto
gether it was one Of the finest
spreads ever.
Three Contests.
In the evening there were three
contests, for which cash prizes
were awarded In the 50-yard
dash for boys over IA. Mitchell
Rudman took first place, Morris
Fisher second, and Jake Weinar
third. In the same event for boys
under IA, Peanuts" Kabansky was
first, Teddy Utke second and Ken
ney Johnson third. The cracker
eating contest was one of the fea
lures and the funniest Of the whole
outing. F. DeLugish was able to
whistle first of half dozen boys.
after consuming several dry soda
crackers.
In the evening they saw the
vaudeville show at the Tower OUT
door theatre, and pronounced it
some class" They were admitted
to the park free, and consequently
to this amusement, by G. r. Steph-
enson, manager, to whom they
were very grateful for the conces-
sion. Two trucks and two touring
cars hauled all so OF them out to
the park Frank Perkins loaned
truck and one car, William Mag
azine loaned the other car. and An
dich Bros. contributed a truck.
Cash donations which, contributed,
made the trip possible were made
by the following: Rock Island Ar
gus, Davenport. Times. Rock Island

Examiner. Chicago Tribune and

ing of the Republican fold, and
Senator Lodge, too, clapping their
hands. It was interesting to watch
the mods OF approval by other
leaders Of opposite faith. The
truth is some of the Republicans
we're happily surprised. ThegS
feared Mr.. Wilson might seek TO
ride on the crest OF the radical
movement by recommendations o..
a Fundamentally radical character.
But they learned that President
Wilson had decided instead to ap
peal to the sober sense OF the
American people, their sturdiness
and self-control, their d.spassion-
ate cooperation and their unsellsh
patriotism.
If the two big political parties
can only be compelled to work to-
gether by further manifestations
of public opinion, America will get
through her reconstruction trou-
bles with the same vitalized unity
that won a world war and saved
civilization from destruction on the
battlefields of France.

of goods by the railways and the
shipping of the country
1t must not be forgotten that
whether the country has realized
the situation here or not the truth
is, congress being Republican and
the administration Democratic, a
game of party politics has been
played ever since the elections last
fall. 1t has projected itself even
into the controversy over the peace
treaty and League OF Nations. The
encouraging thing about the re-
ception by congress Of Mr.. Wilson's
address was the tendency to lay
aside political considerations again
and tackle the acute problems of
