CORN AIDED BY
CAR SCARCITY
and DRY SPELL
Lack Of Rain and Rolling Stock
Provides BuIIish Element for
Market Traders.

Chicago, July 24.-Dry weather
tended today to give an advantage
to bulls in the corn market, and
so. too, did increasing complaints
of car scarcity. Many country ele-
vators we're said to be shutting
down as a result of lack of cars.
On the other hand. proit-taking
sales by holders of grain were
against any radical upturns in
prices. Opening quotations, which
ranged from the same as yester-
days finish to sc higher. with
September at 1.95 and December at
1861 to 1857. were followed by
moderate further gains and then a
general reaction.
Word that new high price rec
ords for corn had been established
in Argentina was something of a
bullish factor, but was more than

$1.66zs.

CELEBRITIES on
HAND AT DOINGS
Included Everything From Su-
preme Justice to PickpOckets,
But Latter Didn't Stay.

A number Of celebrities were On
the speakers platform yesterday
at the fair grounds and number
Of others visited the grounds. Cap
tain James B. Bareth of Monmouth
was there, as was also Floyd E.
Thompson. supreme court justice
from Rock Island; c. f. Dietz, of
Moline, candidate for the consti-
tutional convention; Representa-
tive Frank Abbey of Biggsville, and
Major Porter OF near Alexis Mayor
Harry Schriver of Rock Island WIS
forced to cancel his trip here at the
last minute due to business mat
tiers.
Yesterday was considered Q most
remarkable day from many angles,
particularly regarding law observ-
ance. Officers who patroled the
grounds and the city streets in the
morning reported not a single com
plant and there was no evidence of
liquor indulgence.
Several detectives from Rock Is
land and Davenport were on hand
Chief Of Police Tom Cox of Rock
Island was here for a while. as
were Detectives Charles Ginnane
and Dennis Bennett and Jack
Kinney, plain clothesman from
Davenport. Several other officers
of the Rock Island force were on
hand.
Several pickpockets were not
iced alighting from Southern cars
by the officers who advised them TO
re-board and proceed to other
parts. The advice was needed.

tvs states attorney, followed. In
what was termed by many as the
best speech Of his platform career,
Captain Carlstrom eloquently paid
tribute to Mercer county's soldieriy
as a part of the nations best With
out taking credit from the generals
and ranking officers the speaker
declared that the rank and file
should not be forgotten. To these
intrepid fighters he said should go
an equal measure OF praise and
glory.
Ball Game Close.
Another feature of the program
held the interest of the crowd That
was the ball game in the forenoon
between Matherville and Keiths-
burg, the latter nine being return
ed the winner in an air-tight, hard
fought slab duel between Gieger
and Ping, by final count of l to 0.
The winning marker came in the
second stanza. Sheridan singled and
stole second. Bell walloped out a
two-bagger, scoring Sheridan. GIeg-
er retired the side without further
damage. Only once did MatherviIle
threaten, in the sixth, when with
one out the bases were filled. Ping
fooled the next batters for inf1eld
pop-ups, however, and the danger
was over. The line up:

ENGINE TROUBLE
KEEPS PLANE HERE

Due to engine trouble, Lieuten-
ant Woodelton and Mechanician A.
A. Newton were unable to start
their homeward flight to Rantoul
at noon today as planned. After
considerable tinkering it was con-
sidered probable that the machine
might be shipped back.
A good sized crowd of the curious
gathered around the Burlington
station and watched the giant So
ton tank. a tractor and field gun on
exhibit here yesterday loaded upon
fat cars. The job was quite a
feat and required considerable
time.
Several rounds were fired from
the one-pounders of the tank at the
fair grounds yesterday and its
crew put the mammoth land bat
tleship through regular war maneu-
vers.

FALL FRUIT TO
FORM BIG CROP
IN THIS STATE
Pears and Peaches Also In Greater
Abundance Than Last Several
Seasons.

Indications are that the CONNER
cial apple crop in Illinois will APP
proximate $4,000 barrels, as COM
pared with a crop Of 100000 barrels
in 1917, according to S. d. Fessen-
den, field agent of the United States
bureau of crop estimates. Mr.. Fess-
eden has an office in the capitol
and is cooperating with the state
department of agriculture in the is
suance of crop statistics.
The forecast for the pear crop is
100000 bushels, in comparison with
100000 bushels for 1917, and for
peaches 2S7, 900 bushels compared
with a negligible production last
year.
Reports show that blotch is de-
veloping in southern counties, af-
fecting the apple crop, and may
reduce production. The Ben Davis
apple, usually a leading variety in
Illinois, is not doing as well as
usual. according to the forecast
Jonathans are fair and excellent"
and Grimes Golden fair"
Many Pears in South.
The pear crop. mostly of the Keif-
fer variety, is said to be heaviest in
southern counties. especially Mar
ion, Union and Pulaski. The crop is
not up to standard in amount.
Union county is said to offer
promise Of more peaches than any
other county.

PRESERVING BEAUTY SPOTS.

.
Chicago, as n part of its great
scheme of city development, has
put aside al the timbered areas In
Cook county as permanent forest
preserves to serve as summer play
grounds. These areas have been
stocked with fish, camp sites have
been established, roads and paths
built. The forests are open to the
public at all times for camping,
picnicking and hiking. They are in
no sense parks, but are real bits
of wilderness. The total area OF
forest is over $4,000 acres, and
several of the tracts are large
enough md wild enough to be used
for purposes of getting lost.
Chicago has thus improved an
opportunity which other cities are
neglecting. Within 20 miles OF
many American cities there arc
large timbered areas. which, for
one reason or another. have escap-
ed the sawmill and the pillow. AS
population increases, these areas
slowly decrease. In another gen
GRAFTON. unless they are saved b.
law, they will be gone. Chicago
has been far-sighted enough to
save her nearby woodlands before
it is too late.
The time may coma when Rock
Island will wish t had acquired
and set aside for future use some
of the lands near Rock river now
being used for agricultural pur-
poses. OF course, nothing on the
scale undertaken by Chicago is
possible. but something ought 10
be done to preserve for enjoyment
of the public OF the natural beauty
spots which the community af
fords. II the matter is postponed
too long private encroachmeuts
will make full realization OF pres
emit possibilities out OF the ques-
ton.
