Wright county got her share of the
premiums at the Show, as Wilson's
took so many prizes, Deborah first
on Junior Bulls and Imhoff second
so it seems like Wright county is
among the first in this line. We're
very well pleased to know that Earl
Wakefield scored so well in judging
the stock, we have more interest in
him because Pleasant Flat neighbor-
hood was once his home.

Moline and Eaa Moline
NAY INCREASE
AREA OF CITY


Plans for Increasing Moltne's
present area by 5000 acres will
be discussed ct q meeting Of South
Moline farmers at Maple Grove
school house near Prospect park
tomorrow evening. Charles A.
Larson, chairman Of a committee
of South Moliners, has called the
meeting.
This latest annexation PROPOSE
ton would add all Of South Moline
township, not within the cities Of
Moline and East Moline, to Molire
city limits. A year ago, before
Highland was annexed. Moline's
area was 1868 acres.
The proposition to annex more
| territory in South Moline town
ship started with a movement to
obtain for the city a sewage sys-
tenn extending to Rock river and to
permit Moline to build good road
to the Moline bridge over the
river. Territory necessary for such
an undertaking would be only that
west of what would be Sixteenth
street were that street extended.
The present project includes all
territory south Of Rock river and
east to Ffry-fifth street, or total
of $40 acres. This is the unoffi-
cial plan Of the city and is sup
posed to have the endorsement OF
city officials. The scheme of an
nexing all of South Moline
township not now incorporated is
still in its infancy, but is said to
have the backing Of residents OF
the township.

EXPORT TRADE

WHEAT PRICES

\ Chicago. Aug. 17.-Rsports Of .

day. after opening 1c lower to Nc

2.36N and March 1t 1.37. The raj
" carried prices above the finish
yesterday within the first few min
utes Of trading.
Wheat prices hardened later be-
cause Of the export business re-
ported with Sweden, Germany and
Holland yesterday. This caused
considerable exchanging Of futures,
which sent the market upward, tina
close being strong and near the
high point Of the day, prices rang
ing from 1xc to 2Hc higher at the
finish with December 2.38k to
Assn, and March, 2.40A.
Fair buying of December corn

houses since the reduction In the
visible small receipts and q need
Of rain Id some sections were bull
ish influences which strengthened
that cereal today. The trade. how
ever, was light. Quotations from
&c lower to Nc higher, With Sep
TENDER at 1.45h to LAG and De-
cember at 1923, to 1.23h, soon be-
came higher with the previous
showing.
Corn prices averaged higher. due
to scattered commission house and
local buying but the best prices
were not maintained. This was due
to profit taking and some selling on
the improved situation in Poland
Closing quotations, however; were
strong, showing a net gain of &c to

due to the disappointing showing

ranged from sc to l5c\lower.

START CAMPAIGN
TO GUARD LIVES
OF MOLINE BOYS

J. E. Nyhan, general secretary Of
the Moline Y. NJ. c. A., announced
today that a learn to swim" cam
paign is about to be launched in
Moline as a preventative against
drowning, numerous cases OF which
have occurred in the rivers Of this
vicinity this summer.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has opened its
swimming pool to any boy in the
city with competent instructor
provided to teach the various
strokes. Membership in the asso-
citation is not required and there
are no admission fees.
If you are a Moline boy and can
not swim, go to the Y, give your
name to a secretary and make ar
rangements for hours. They will
try to make the time of the lessons
as convenient as possible for Mo-
line youths.
Mr.. Nyhan stated today that he
believed a large part of the drown
ings that have occurred in Moline
recently were due to the inability
! Of the victims to take care of them
selves in the water and that if more
boys and men knew how to swim
the drowings would be fewer.
