caused selling this afternoon. General
grain news firm. Not enough corn and
oats in Chicago to make a cash mar

sentimental affair for some days. The
desire to sell and press the market,
however, looks inactive.

HEALTH OFFICERS
PLAN REAL CLEAN
UP FOR MOLINE

According to Paul L. Skoog, chief
OF the state health force in Moline.
a battle against breeding places OF
flies and mosquitoes is to be waged
in connection with the health and
sanitary survey now being conduct
ed by state and municipal officers
here. The first step in the battle
has been the sending of notices to
every property owner who is main
tanning an outdoor toilet on the
premises. calling attention to the
city ordinance covering this condi-
tien and explaining the intention Of
the officials to secure court action
unless the nuisance is abated within
a reasonable time.
This action applies only to that
property which has sewer facilities.
State officers have been astonished
at the number of unreported COM
munfcable disease cases and I'M
sanitary property in Moline. which
have been reported by inspectors.
The survey will be much more ex-
tensive because of these conditions
than was originally planned and it
is thought it will result in a real
cleanup" Of Moline.

PATRIOTIC TALK
BY DR.. ANDREEN


DR.. Gustav A. Andreen. president
Of Augustana college. told members
OF the Moline allied patriotic or
CARNATIONS that Americans fail to
grasp significance Of the occasion.
unless inspired by the example OF
Washington and Lincoln, and they
dedicate themselves anew to the
principles of democracy in observ-
ing birthdays of those leaders. the
Moline allied patriotic organfza-
tons held their annual program IN
Moline high school auditorium last
night. The lesson Of the day, said
DR.. Andreen, is know thy oppor-
tunities," and he added that it was
the message Washington and Lin
coin bring to us today"
The program this year was made
notable by the presentation of the
first French certificates of hon.
age" to reach Moline from that
republic for next Of kin of Moline
boys who gave their lives while in
the service. The ceremony was
part OF nation wide presentation
of 118,4O0 certificates bestowed
upon relatives of the dead warriors.
Scores of other diplomas intended
for Moline residents will be for
warded to them through the Amer
lean Legion in cooperation with the
war department.
The Star Spangled Banner" was
sung by the audience. Rev. c. A.
Parmit delivered the invocation and
school children directed by Miss
Sara Bennett sang a group OF pa
triotic songs. A. r. Wilson on be-
half Of the Legion, presented the
French certificates, and the Rev.
&c. H. johnson pronounced benedic-
ton after the audience had united
in singing America" There were
also other solos and addresses on
the program.
At q business session, Mr.. Lynch
was made president of the club for
the ensuing year. He presided last
night. c. H. Ross was chosen vice
president and Mrs. John Wood was
named secretary treasurer. Prac-
tically every patriotic organization
of consequence in Moline was rep
resented in the assembly and other
places in the auditorium were filled
with interested citizens.

FIND few CANS
OLIVES IN ONE
STORE DR. CITY
Triangle Grocery Had Three Caas
Left Of Number Of Poison Va
riety-NO Sickness Here.

One Aledo store was found to
have in stock three cans Of the
variety of ripe olives which were
Condemned as being poitoned BY
government health officials. The
Triangle grocery. managed by Ell
mer Sander. reported three cans OF
the brand which had been condemn
ed. A number Of the olives had
been sold but physicians Of the city
have had no cases of poinoning dur
ing the time the olives are said to
have been distributed. 1t Is not
likely that any Aledo people ~ -
injured by eating olives.
The olives which were condemn
ed were Immediately removed from
the shelves OF the Triangle store
and wre sent to the health authori-
ties at Galesburg. TIL olives, which
were of the ripe variety. were dis
tributed by the Sprague Warner
company of Chicago. According to
government health officials, no
blame is attached to the packer
distributors or retailers for the
poison which has been found In q
number of cans. 1t Is said that the
poison is peculiar to the olive. but
that there is no danger from eating
the green olives which all grocers
have for sale.
The Triangle store was the only
Aledo grocery that handled the
product of the Chicago company
and is the only store in the city
which had ripe olives for sale. Mr..
Sander stated that there was no
danger to patrons of his store from
eating olives which he now carried
for sale.

RECEIVE PETITION
FOR CONSOLIDATED
SCHOOL BUILDING

County Superintendent of
Schools G. e. Plat received a petit
ton for a consolidated school from
the district which includes Mars
ton, Excelsior, Duncan, Oakdale.
Hamlet, in Mercer county and KEN
ball and East Buffalo in Rock Is
land county. This petition which
was filed yesterday, will probably
be voted on about March q. 1t is
necessary in the case of CONSOLE
dated schools to hold the election
80 days following the filing of the
petition. This district will I'M
doubtedly go strong for the con-
solidated school. Marston will
probably be chosen as the ideal To-
cation for the school. In the re-
cent drive throughout the county
to better educational facilities, only
one district has voted against eth
er community high school or con-
solidated school. The territory
surrounding Burgess decided that
either of the advanced ideas in
schooling were not needed in that
district.

GOOD SCORES ARE
BEING PILED UP

SOME very good scores were
shown in the opening game Of the
billiard tournament being played
at the Aledo club. Enthusiasm
among club members has reached =
high pitch and at last nights games
all eyes were turned toward the
billiard table. The teams which
won last nights games were Macy
Parkman and Hugh Morrison and
H. Parkman and Andy Runbom.
These two teams won over d. J.
Vanatta and Ross McWhorter and
]. o. Freeman and Laon McWhor-
ter, respectively. The score in the
first game was Is to Is. The game
was run. ~ innings. The high run
was split between Vanatta and
Parkman. each procuring three
runs. The second game was little
faster being played in 46 innings.
The score was the same as the first
one, Is to 16. McWhorter took the
high run with three points in this
game. Tomorrow nights games
will probably attract wide spread
attention among the club members.

in large quantities, is the best clio

stated that this clover seed will
cover q greater acreage than other
seed and makes q better hay than
red clover and is . good mixture
with either red clover or timothy
seed. The alsike clover reseeds it.
