WHEN DISCIPLINE RELAXED

The rigid discipline of the American
Expeditionary Force was relaxed dur
ing the formation abroad of the Ameri-
can Legion, the proposed organization
for veterans of the army, navy and
marine corps, says Lieutenant Colonel
Eric F. Wood, the temporary secretary.
1t was agreed that all rank should be
laid aside in the meetingroom. Gen
erals forgot their stars in the pres
ence of privates, corporals engaged in
heated debates with colonels and SER
geants greeted majors with terms of
affection.
"A most interesting example of Am
erican adaptability and one of the type
which always caused the French and
British officers to marvel, was observ-
ed at the noon hour" Colonel Wood
cQrnHtinAed. Just at that time a brig

Oats bulls admit only a minor crop loss
to date. Out of $4,000 contract corn
at Chicago only about 200. 600 is avail
able for delivery. Many locals therefore
expect tightness in July corn but also
think around / so is the limit Corn bulls
might run into big acreage guess from

MORE MATCHES
OF ARMY WORM
STILL TO COME
Nature win Aid, However, Through
Red-Tailed Fly in Combating
Deadly Pest.

Mercer county farmers may ex-
pect two more matches of army
worms before late fall, at approx
imately six week intervals.
But there should be no added
alarm felt over this fact, according
to County Advisor P. S. Richey, for
in the coming battles with the
pest, nature, in the form of what
is known as the red-tailed fly, will
aid the tiller of the soil
This fly is natures antidote for
the army worm. The destructive
energy and finally the worm itself
is destroyed annually in large num-
bers by MIR. Red-tailed Fly. He
alights upon the worm and depos-
its certain germs inside the body
which renders the insect practi-
cally harmless and prevents it
from ever reVerting to the moth
state. 1t is in this period of its
four-cycle life that eggs for future
worms are laid.
Activity Lessened.
Farmers throughout the county
who have reported the army worm
as injecting certain Of their fields.
are noting now that the activity of
the insect has lessened and he
seems to be disappearing The fact
is that he is boring into the soil,
in which he will pass into a coma
from which he energies in his next
state, that of a moth, within about
a week
Complete and interesting infor-
nation relative to the worm was
obtained by the county agent from
famous 'bugologists. at the state
university where Mr.. Richey at
tended the state meeting of coun-
ty advisors held Tuesday and We'd
nesday.
Repealed Daylight Law.
Upon his return yesterday noon
Mr.. Richey stated that, though it
is not generally known, it was
chiefly through the efforts of the
Illinois Agricultural association
that the repeal of the daylight saw
ing bill was brought about in con-
gress. This measure was held in
great disfavor by the farmers of
the nation as a majority and its
repeal was counted by them as a
distinct victory for agriculture.
Many other points and matters
of community interest to the farm
er were discussed and settled at
the state meeting. MIR. Richey stat
ed that in all probability he would
embody the most important mat
tiers before the session in a bulle-
tin letter which will be dispatched
to members of the Mercer County
Crop Improvement association
within the near future.

Clarence Eddy, famous organist,
presented a recital to the some

Opening with a prelude by Bach,
Mr.. Eddy displayed his complete
command over the instrument. es-
pecially in the pedal runs near the
end of the number.
The heat bothered Mr.. Eddy and
at the beginning of the program he
said: II hope the public knows l
have dress suit, but this is not
dress suit weather" Speaking of
the organ he said: at is one of
the finest of its kind in this coun-
try. The variety and range OF the
stops are excellent and the tones

HOLDS GARBAGE
CONTRACT VOID
City Council Agrees to Take Work
Away From Company Pending
Satisfaction.

City officials last night agreed
not to pay the Tri-City Disposal
company any more money until the
company cleaned up the alleys to
the city's satisfaction.
Members of the council have
spent much valuable time discuss
ing the garbage situation and they
feel that while they are paying cut
the city's money to have the gar
bage cleaned from the alleys the
city must have approximate salts
faction. They then agreed to with
hold further payments on the con-
tract until the company has done
the work.
The failure of the company to
collect garbage may result in the
city taking over the contract.
One provision of the contract
provides that in case the company
fails to do the work to the satistac-
ton of the health commissioner uae
city may, at expiration of a hve
days notice, do the work itself and
withhold cost of the job from the
company's pay.

Moline police officials had more
mercy than justice yesterday after
noon when J. A. Morrison, Wash

and costs suspended by Magistrate
Gustafson. Morrison, IT seems, was
in Moline the day before to get a
piece Tor his tractor. He met some
friends and they took a ride to the
gallon houses.
Morrison was picked ND drunk
late in the night and was taken TO
the police station where he spent
the rest of the night while his chill
dren were housed at the Campbell
hotel. Morrison was without funds
and the children cried when he gas
fined, so the judge showed he had
a tender heart and suspended the
fine and costs on the grounds that
he would take his children home

COUNCIL WAKES
WARM IN DEBATE
Moline Aldermen Argue Over Pro.
posed improvement of Street
with Counter Charges.

A proposal to improve Eleventh
avenue A between Twenty-ninth
and Thirty-frst streets brought
about a heated argument at the
meeting of the Moline city council
last evening. and threats were
made by various committees to
withdraw, though no real action
resulted.
The real argument arose wheh
Alderman Holt made q motion tina.
the city clerk be authorized to ad-
vertise for bids to grade the street
with the estimated cost about ST.
900. His motion was carried by a
vote of s to 5.
IT'S not the city's business to
improve the property Of any man 5
lots" said Alderman Anderson.
His argument and that of Alder
around that statement.
Alderman Holt then wanted to
withdraw his name from the street
and alley committee on which he
w2s chairman.
One alderman charged another
with owning property along tho
avenue under discussion and that
he was trying to get il improved
at the cost of the city. The ac-
cused alderman stated that he did
not own property along the pro
ject but that some of his relatives
do.
Discussion waxed warm unti,
Alderman Frank Herhst came 10
the rescue with his usual resolu-
ton and moved that the meeting
be adjOu ned.
