Way out in Oelrichs, S. D., one
of the fans of old-time vintage
heard the wall of the Rock Island
baseball baby. He read in The
Argus columns that money was
needed to deck out the kid as he
should be decked. He arose and
writ, and behold a check for 20
beans fluttered into the money box
of the Fans association.
This man is c. E. Kincaid, who
used to live here, and who has
some relatives (fans by the way)
here now. Fifteen years ago he
helped hold down the grand stand
at the old ball park. He was not
a man Of high finance or of grand
affairs. He was toiler and mem
Der of organized labor. He left
here some time ago, but did not
leave behind his memories of the
games he saw and the way his fell
low fans rooted for the Islanders.
Read his letter, which is below.
It he can send in a check for $40,
where's the home town gang? They
can certainly muster 100 hot sports
who can spare $40 for the big
cause. Mr.. Kincaid is first, who
will follow? Clip the coupon. The
letter:

Argus, Dear Sir: Enclosed find

terialize. l also wonder what has
become of the spirit in the old

BRITISH LINKS
PRO ARTISTS TO
PLAY IN STATES

London, March IA number of
prominent British professional
golfers will leave in June for an
extended exhibition and competitive
tour of the United States.
A. B. Mitchell, the most success
full player Of last year, has made
arrangements to visit America and
will probably be accompanied by
George Duncan of Hanfer Hill.
Harry Vardon (South Herts), the
holder of the open championship,
will probably visit America for the
third time.
This will be Mitchell's first visit
to the states. Vardon won the open
championship at Wheaton, ILL.,. in
1900, with j. H. Taylor (mid- Sur
rey) as runner-up. Vardon, in
company with f. Ray (Oxhey), Wis
tied America in 1913 and took part
in the memorable championship at
Brookline, Mass. They tied with
Francis Ouimet for the title, who
won a sensational victory in the
play-off. Duncan toured America
in 1911 when he won the open
championship of Pennsylvania.

PULLING WIRES
FOR SOME FISH
Progress in Restocking Project Ex.
pected in Report at Coming
Rod and Reel Meet.

Now that the Rod and Reel club
has been formally chartered and
the organization is complete, wires
are being pulled to influence the
state authorities to ship a car Of
live game fish here for restocking
the streams hereabout.
A committee is in communication
with the hatchery officials and
others thought to have influence in
the matter. These persons are
asked to lend their help in seeing
that the local fishing club secures
the quota of game fish annually
allotted to communities where
there is an organization of some
kind to assist the game warden in
protecting them.
The club does not anticipate
anything but success in its at
tempts to land this concession from
the state. Other localities have
been so favored, and they almost
generally lacked the advantages
Rock Island can present as rea-
sons for having a car of young fish
shipped here.
In Rock River.
Where the fish will be placed
when they arrive here is another
problem One of the club officers
said today that that decision will
be up to the club as body. How
ever he thought it likely that Rock
river would be the favored waters
for restocking.

The sort OF chap you're glad to find

The sort Of chap who can crack

Or give you the shirt off his

Have you ever seen a Marine

Tor these soldiers OF the sea-?
That Marine didn't just happen
to be the husky lad he is. He is
merely a walking example of
what the Marine Corps can do for
the ordinarily healthy man. May

The Marine Corps is a bo.y o.
men. carefully trained to use both

They are the sort of men who can

COMING BACK.

1t is not surprising that thousands of men of for
eign birth who turned their faces toward their old
homes in Europe upon the defeat of Germany are
returning to this country.
Many forces conspired to induce them to go back.
Many believed that the would end the old
tyranny, that opportunities would be better there
than here and that new era of liberty and fair
dealing had dawned for the world Thousands
wanted to find missing loved ones. or be reunited
with friends they had not been in touch with for
years. Not few were drawn by curiosity to see
what the war had wrought and all of them had
more money than any OF them ever before had
dreamed of having in all their lives.
But little time required to disillusion even
the most hopeful. Europe suffered such oppor-
tuntes for work good living were to be had
for the seeking here in the United States. Work
uncertain political conditions unsettled prices
high beyond belief and food and clothing scarce.
So they have turned again toward America, and
they will be welcome. We need every immigrant
who prove his right to the privilege of American
residence, and the immigration laws might we'll be
iiberalized to take OF worthy men and women
from abroad who might be barred by unnecessarily
strict regulations Against the riff-raff the bars
should be built high.

BELGIUMs RECOVERY.

1t is announced that by the end of the year
Belgian industry will be back to normal in produc-
ton
This is an almost inconceivable come back.
PROSTATE Belgium on her and going strong
within two years of the armistice! II is indeed an
astonishing record
Here is the reason given by Belgian represen-
tatve now in America official business The
they are not anarchists they not radicals they
workers. We can rely on them right up to the
opportunity afforded them.
OF course The only way to replenish exhausted
resources is to produce The only way to produce
is to produce. We cannot eglslate production
Work is the only method
Supply and demand regulate prices. To make
lower prices the supply must the demand
Work alone will increase supply.
Compare this attitude of Belgian labor with that
of a would-be leader in America who asked, the
other day. why labor should produce and proceeded
10 encourage curtailment of production
Irritation leads 10 the deliberate cutting down
of production. The result will mean much dis
aster labor to capital 1t is folly. 1t is 'cut-
ting off the to spite the face"
On the other hand, capital must learn that a
eontented mind is prerequisite to efficient work
Every effort should be made adjust differences,
Efficiency is the boast of American business.
Most business executives have yet to learn, how
ever that mans efficiency is dependent upon his
mental state.
The principle of the brotherhood OF man has
not yet infected the hearts of some of our business
men. We fear the same thing is true of many labor
leaders.
