Our Mistake His Treat

Due to "pieing" a galley of type
last week just as we were going
to press, a paragraph was left out
Of our article on the "Klat-a-wa"
hunting trip, which told all about
the prowess of Ray Kingsbury as
a member of the gang, but it's too
late now to insert it, and all we
can say is that Mr.. Kingsbury was
the "master mechanic of the trip,
and stood ace high there and back.

ALED0 TO have
kIWANIS CLUB?
District Organizer Here to Inter-
est Business Men In New Body
May Meet Soon.

That Aledo will soon be known
with many other cities OF the
United States as supporting a HI
wants club is the assurance OF L.
L. Trone, district organizer Of this
fraternity. Mr.. Trone was in Aledo
this week and has secured prom
Uses Of support from q large per
cent of the local business men and
predicts that the club will be or
ganized in the near future.
Mr.. Trone is very optimistic as
to the future of such an organiza-
ton here, often remarking during
his various visits to this city upon
the progressiveness Of its citizens.
Rock Island was one of the first
cities of this district to have
Kiwanis club organized. Daven-
port and Galesburg also support
Kiwanis clubs and one was only
recently organized in Geneseo.
Mr.. Trone gives as the aim and
purpose of the Kiwanis club the
desire to work and boost for every
good thing for the city and COM
munity. Men in all business and
professional lines are included in
the membership and the clubs are
truly representative Of the city.
1t is probable that a meeting VII
be held here sometime next week
at which Kiwanis members will be
present to outline the work OF the
organization and to assist In form
| ing a club In this city.

ACTION OF PARDON
BOARD RELATED AT
-BLUFFhEN'S CLUB

Sherman W. Searle of Rock Is
land. a member of the state board
of pardons and parole. explained in
detail and in concise and interest
lne manner the workings Of the
hoard, at the first meeting OF the
Bluffmen's club last evening. Judge
Nels A. Larson OF Rock Island
county court, presided.
I'VE owe the man nothing; we
owe all to society" Mr.. Searle said
was the governing factor in the
boards deliberations upon applica-
tons for parole or combinations
Tor prison sentence.
."If it Is to society's interest to
keep him In Jail, in Jail he stays:
II society will be benefited by his
release then the man will be bene-
fitted
Il. As a general rule. Mr.. Searle said,
the board had failed in Is per cent
Of its cases as that number were
returned for violation Of the parole.
OF this Is per cent, however, only
on6-third, or I'VE Of every hundred
men paroled were returned for COM
hitting q crime. The others came
back for technical violation Of their
agreement. Mr.. Searle presented a
number of other statistics and ar
guments and talked at length upon
the influence of the war upon the
action of the pardon board. He
concluded his talk with the state
inent that the recent Communication
Of death sentences on 13 cook coun-
~ prisoners so that only three paid
the lie penalty, was not action Of
the board at all, but In eight OF
those cases Chicago boss poll
ticians pulled effective strings with
judges to cheat the gallows.

HOPE VICTORY
FOR HIGH team
Aledo Pigskin Artists Take Early
Train to Alexis In High
Spirits.

Coach Dale n. Roberts and the
Aledo nigh school football team,
accompanied by a goodly number of
enthusiastic fans, entrained on the
Dolly" this morning for Alexis,
where the initial football game for
the local team will be played this
afternoon. Coach Roberts carried
a good supply of substitutes in case
the regular eleven should be I'M
equal to beating the Alexis aggre-
cation.
If enthusiasm in this school is
any forecast the Aledo team will
come home victorious. Cheer Lead
er Kathryn Among has worked
diligently in arousing enthusiasm
among the students and practically
the entire student body expects to
witness the game this afternoon.
The high school boys have been
put through strenuous PAGES and
are said to be in excellent physical
condition. Teamwork has been in
stilled into the minds Of the players
by Coach Roberts and the signal
practice shows that the team is
working as one man. Each player
was prepared to 60 into the game
today with a thorough knowledge
OF the task he was to perform and
the local followers are confident of
q victory.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Oct. 23.-Severe set
backs in tie price of grains have
taken place this week largely as a
result of the British coal strike.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was down 15Ac to
INC, corn off SIC to 915c, and
oats SIC to 3%c. In provisions
there were net losses ranging from
10c to 1925.
Bears in wheat were quick to
take advantage of fear that the
British strike would bring about
heavy delay and curtailment of ex-
port business. Houses with sea-
board connections bought on the
resulting declines, but rallies due
to this fact proved brief except
when the coal strike outlook be-
came less threatening. Failure of
agricultural interests to get en-
couranement from the federal re-
serve board as to obtaining credit
to hold farm products counted also
against the bulls, and so likewise
did Secretary Houston's address be-
fore the bankers convention at
Washington. On the other hand,
considerable notice was given to
predictions from officers of the
Wheat Brewers association of the
United States, that success would
attend a proposed cutting OF OF
rural sales of wheat on and after
Oct. Is.
Corn and oats gave way with
wheat, despite liberal export buy
ing Of corn. Both feedstuffs touch
| ed the lowest prices in years.
Provisions, especially pork, re-
Elected the weakness of grain and
! hogs.

program rendered by the artists in
which popular and classical selec-

exceedingly we'll received and dem

Miss Camille Plasschaert, daugh-
ter Of the noted Belgian sculptor,
may be said to have been the favor
ite of the evening as she was most
enthusiastically applauded and re-
called many times. Her skill on the
violin was accompanied by such
charm of personality and presenta-

Good Results.

After several months Of hard la
Dor on the part e a number of
Aledo and Mercer coSuty men the
last gallon of oil in the road oiling
project, was spread on the high
ways of this county yesterday.
The road which received treat
ment yesterday were the state aid
road, between Aledo and Viola,
which connects this city with the
outside world by good roads. The
exact number OF gallons of oil used
in the project this year is not GER
tain, but it is estimated that the
total costs will come near $50, 900.
A report on the work is expected to
be completed within short time.
Most OF the roads in this county
which were oiled are in excellent
condition at present and will prob
ably show the result during the fall
and spring when roads are gener-

work were untfring in their effort
to make the biggest road oiling
project ever attempted success
