NAME OF VESSEL
NOT CHOSEN YET
BY GOVERNMENT

No word as to what name has
been given the ship to be chris
tened by Rock Island, has as yet
been received by Frank Mixter or
II. II. Cleayeland. who submitted
the two names to the United States
government.
The vessel is to be named by the
city of Rock Island because of the
fine showing made during the
fourth Liberty loan campaign. The
two names, Fort Armstrong and
Rock Island Arsenal, were chosen
by the local committee, after a list
Of names had been volunteered by
the public through The Argus.
Date for the christening Of the
vessel is not known. Miss Eleanor
Cleaveland, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. II. CIeaveland, is to be
sponsor of the ship.

To the Voters of the Thirty-third
Senatorial District:
| am a candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket for nomination for
delegate to the Constitutional Con-
vention, subject to the primary
election to be held Sept. 10, next,
and l earnestly ask your support.
In my professional and official
experience l have come in contact
with many of the questions that
will be involved in that convention
and that have made its calling nee
essary.
For more than twenty years I
have been advocating the calling
of a constitutional convention to
revise and amend the present con-
stitution, for in no other way has
its amendment or revision been
reasonably possible-due to the re-
striCtions for such purpose em-
braced in the constitution itself
and l have always hoped tor be a
delegate to such convention when
called.
have retired from the practice
of law and can give all my time to
the work l am not connected with
any private, public or special in
terest that would bias or prejudice
my action in the convention. l have
no hobbies nor pet schemes to ad-
vance and am absolutely free to
give the very best there is in me to
the work OF the convention. to the
state and to the people, and if
elected will do so.
l served my country in the Civil
war; 1 have served my county and
congressional district on different
occasions many years in public
Office, and l frankly say that l
would like to round out my official
career by helping to write the con-
stituhon OF my state. However, 1
just as frankly say, without regard
for any candidates personal ambi-
tions, that the work of the conven-
ton is a mans work. and that the
ability and fitness of the candi-
date to do it should be the voters
first consideration.

the male musk deer, found princip v n the region near Tachienlu. The sub- stance known as musk is only Secreted in the pouch of the deer during certain seasons Of the year, and because of it's precious. value the deer have been all most exterminated. They are small creatures, never more than three feet long and usually about 22 inches in height
 Perhaps no other substances in the world has an odor so penetrating or enduring as musk. Certainly nothing else which pleases the sense of smell can be compared to it. Some idea Of it's rarity and the difficulty of supply ing the market may be gained from tho 1 fact that the total yearly export from l Tachienlu before the war was only about 5000 pounds. Practically the whole of this went to France and was
 made into perfume. A very small amount is sufficient to manufacture a large quantity of perfume.
 Musk is Q peculiar substance. Ex- perimen;ers have found that by expos 1 ing a small quantity of it to the air ! the musk gradually diminished in size
 and finally disappeared. ! The odor that ! it sent forth actually caused the musk to evaporate.

Then came Lady Jean Ramsay with Princess Ingrid of Sweden, Lady Ira Ramsay with Lady Maycambridge, Princess Maud with Princess Mary and Lady Helena Cambridge with Lady Victoria Cambridge.
 The bride was given away by her father. During the service the choir sang the 67th psalm. the hymn, 70, Perfect Love-" and the anthem, ''Who Is Like Unto Thee, 0 Lord?" After the ceremony the register was signed in the chapel of Edward the Confessor Then as the bridal couple proceeded toward the door, the Menhellsohn we'd ding march was played. A procession of the royal family and peers and peer esses followed, led by the Duke Of Connaught and Queen Mary, King George and Queen Mother Alexandra and former King Manuel of Portugal and his wife, who was formerly Prin- cess Augustine Victoria of Hohen- zollern.
 A guard of honor of the Princess Pat" regiment was stationed at the
