BELL WILL RUN
UNOPPOSED FOR
STATE OFFICE
Republican Nominee TO Be Only
Candidate for Position Listed
on the Ballot.

The special election on July Is
to fill the Office of states attorney
will be a mere formality of law.
For the first time in the history of
the county, a candidate for an i'm
portant Office will be unopposed for
the honor.
Having filed his Withdrawals
from the Democratic and Socialist
tickets this morning, on which he
was nominated in the primary Sat
urday, Benjamin S. Bell, Republi-
can nominee, needs only to sit back
and wait for the day when he, will
assume the duties of the states at
torney office. His will be the only
name on the ballot at the election
The only way in which opposition
could be provided would be through
a candidate on an independent tick
ct. This would require a canvass
of the county for signatures to petit
tons, and no man who cast his
vote in the primary would be per
mitted to affix his name to the list.
Five per cent of the total vote of
the county is required for such a
petition to be admitted.

+ c. H. Wayne. speculator, of
Reynolds, today charged officials
Of the Board of Trade in Chicago
with having brought pressure to
bear with the food admin1stra-
ton to have his license revoked.
Mr.. Wayne said that the decis-
ion from Washington could not be
answered by him in one sentence,
but that if the full facts in the case
were brought out the public would
be able to see that spite was used
to crush him.
The decision revokes his license
TO operate for violation of the Sec
tion of the food control act which
makes it unlawful to hoard grain
and certain other commodities. He
was said to have held $4,000 bush
els of May corn from the Chicago
market at time when that amount.
represented half the supply in the
public warehouses.
In answer to this charge, Mr..
The Argus that he acquired the
property by consent of the food ad-
Thinistration and that according to
the laws enacted last December he
had a perfect right to dispose of
the corn in the way he wished.
MIR. Wayne said that trouble
arose last May when he refused
to sell his corn on the last day of
the month On that day corn was
selling at $3.50 per bushel to start
out; later in the day it dropped to
S176 and then to SLIP. When he
was asked to sell in face of the fall
ing prices. he said he could see no
way to do so.
According to Mr. Wayne the Ar
mour company was short on corn
and was waiting a chance to get
his When he refused to sell a dis
turbance was created in the mar
ket and plans made to get him. E
Mr.. Wayne had four sons in the
service during the war. and claims
that he had acquired the money to
establish his sons in business when
returning from the war.
Forced To Sell.
AS a result of the decision to re-
woke his license. Mr.. Wayne said
he was forced to sell his grain. He
received orders yesterday from
Howard Jackson, food administra-
tor for the Chicago district, tell
ing him that he would be forced to
get rid of his amount of May corn.
Mr.. Wayne said that without his
knowledge the Wagner company.
with headquarters in Chicago, was
given orders by the board of trade
to sell the $4,000 bushels. 1t was
sold to the Corn Products Refining
company.
1t is said by persons in Rock Is
land who are informed in board of
trade transactions that the May
corn was sold at a profit of from
100000 to $4,000.
He was also forced to get rid of
all July options above 100000 bush
els.
Mr.. Wayne said that the decision
against him is the result of spite
work, that he had authority in
holding his grain and that circum-
stances may yet be brought out
that will give the public a clearer
knowledge of the entire transac-
ton.

One hears rather petty complaints
pretty often these days, concerning
the payment Of war taxes on ar
tlcles which have to be purchased
almost every day. Most of us do
not like to bother making change
with pennies, but after all. we have
an enormous war debt to pay and
by helping to pay it individually
few pennies at time. we do not
feel that it is much of sacrifice.
1t is easier for US each to pay our
share little at time than to have
it come in a lump sum. We kick
oftener on the penny installment
plan, but we would kick a whole
lot harder if we had to pay our
share all at one time.

1t doesn't seem possible that even
the fall grain could withstand the
hot, dry weather that has been ex-
perienced throughout this part of
the country since quite early IN the
spring. Yet, from reliable reports,
there is every prospect tor a very
fair yield of winter wheat. The
spring grain has little chance to
make good crop but IN some cases
a fair yield will be harvested. A
rain would help the spring grain
considerably even as late as this.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have in a large acreage of fall grain
will have no cause for complaint at
the present price of So per bushel.

Real Cop Lines Up
With Five Dummies

New York.-Critics of the pO-

bad things, but it took zone of
the finest. to deliver the un-
kindest cut of all.
Exactly what will happen to
this patrolman for his reflection
upon his fellow members of the
force is not Known, but last night
he was still holding down his
new job in the bureau Of uni
forms at headquarters.
In the Office of the bureau
there are five clothing dummies
all fitted out with resplendent
uniforms. The initiated work
ers in the place have learned by
long experience that these dunn
mics are not members of the
force, but the new man entered
the place unwarned.
There stood the five dummies
as if at attention, and being un-
able to discern the difference
between them and real cops the
, new man fell right into line and
, assumed the same attitude.
After holding this position for
about five minutes he nudged
the next dummy and asked:
How long do we have to keep
this up?"

patrolman's name was deleted,
