FRANK WARNOCK Is
OWNER OF ROOSTER

pat" the auxiliary rooster who
helped I'LL up the treasury Of the
woman's auxiliary Of the American
Legion BY fasting for two days. in
order that the public might have q
chance At 10 cents = guess to esti-
mate how many grains OF corn he
could eat when he broke his fast,
made q record last Saturday after
noon by devouring 541 grains Of
corn in less than one-half hour.
Frank Warnock of Aledo became
the owner Of the bird.
Long before the time came for
Pat" to begin eating, the street
around his cage was packed with
people and the guessing grew spir-
tied as the time drew near for him
to eat At 3 o'clock, Miss Edith
Hall, chairman Of the social COM
mittee Of the auxiliary, began to
feed "PaA" The crowd around the
cage apparently did not bother him,
for he applied the task of eating
with q business-like air. The corn
had been counted and placed In
small glass bottles. The number
of grains to a bottle was not made
public and guesses we're received
up until $3.50, when the bird began
to hesitate and refused to eat any
more.
When the grains were counted IL
was found that he had gotten away
with '541. Search Of the records
showed that no one had guessed
the exact amount, but that two
Aledo citizens had become rivals
for the ownership Of the rooster
Sheriff J. P. Fleming guessing $40
and Frank Warnock 542. Various
arguments as to how the decision
should be made and whether pat
should be divided $3.50 were in
dulged in. 1t was finally decided
that the men would flip for the
ownership and Mr.. Warnock be-
came the owner of the bird and a
promise of a chicken dinner. The
total amount realized by the aux.
Hilary was $50, making a total Of
$50 persons guessing on the eating
ability Of the bird.
A similar contest, staged in 1915
by d. E. Farr of Aledo, in which
two ROSTERS were entered. resulted
! in one bird eating 40 grains Of
corn and the other sos.

A1vv|LL MOWRY
DIES At HOME
Of DAUGHTER


Atwill 4oWry, . retired Moline
police ofhcer. who had served Y
years and thereby won for him.
self the title Of the golden rule
policeman, died early today at the
homo Of his daughter. Mrs. G. w.
Sohrbeck, 1S1l Sixth avenue.
Mr.. Mowry was 78 years OF aga
For q number Of years he had been
an invalid, and IDS death was not
unexpected. He was q nneal de-
scendant Of tho famous colonial
preacher, Roger Williams. who was
also one OF the founders Of Rhode
Island.
Funeral services will be held in
the Sohrbeck home at 2:30 Wednes-
day afternoon. In order to give
friends on opportunity to view the
remains the body will lie in state
at the residence between 10 and
II Wednesday morning.
On May 2, 1887, Mr.. Mowry join
ed the Moline police force. He
served until Feb. II, 1915, when he
resigned because of illness and be-
came q pensioner.
Captain Mowry was known to the
citizens of Moline as an officer who
never made an arrest. While this
is probably exaggerated, it ex-
presses the type of service which
Mr.. Mowry rendered the people Of
Moline.
He was q policeman to protect
and to serve. His services won him
the friendship of everybody in his
territory, which was the entire bluff
section of Moline. Many valuable
memorials of his respect in the
shape of gifts, had been received
by the officer.
But the praise and friendship OF
those whom he befriended was
more valuable than the gifts. He
never made an arrest, for instead
of taking the boys to the police sta
ton, he took them home. Some of
the boys we're grown men who
had imbibed too freely; sometimes
they were youngsters whose play
fitness tended to become rowdy-
ism.
On May 1, 1893, Policeman Now
ry was promoted to the office OF
captain. He served in that cap
acity until 1895. when the position
was abolished by the city council.
During the greater part of his time
on the police department, Mr..
Mowry worked at night, a part of
police service least desired by po-
licemen.
| Atwill Mowry was born in Rhode
Island, the state which his ances-
tor, Roger Williams, had founded
Sept. Is, 1912. His native town was
North Smithfeld. He was a son
of Emer Mowry and Melors
Mathew.
He came to Illinois in 1860. Mr.
Mowry used to have many interest
ing stories to tell of the pioneer
life near Princeton, ILL.,, where he
lived in q log cabin. He was mar.
ried March 2, 1864, at Tiskilwa, tc
Mary McFeely. He was a member
of the Baptist church and the Mod
ern Woodmen of America.
Surviving are two daughters
MRS. G. W. Sohrbeck and Miss G
Elaine Mowry; three sons, Emel
and Otto Of Moline and Archie G
Of Davenport; one sister, Mrs
Laura Smith Of Sidney, Neb., and
two brothers, Frank of Glendale
R l., and Wilson of Providence

TOURIST LADIES go FISHING'
Mrs. Door, says Mrs. Hiker, our
husbands spend all their time run
ming around fishing. why not we (as
women are now coming to the 'front.'
arrange a fishing trip to the Bay
We will place ourselves under the
care of Lufsey. the King We will
take Dover, who is considered the best
Northern fisherman and is a good
second 10 King Lufsey. AS for Hiker
| will leave it to you; he thinks he is
a first-class fisherman but he don't
bring home the bacon" I'VE will
take him." says Mrs. Dover. "Then
there are the twins, Clara and Mar
garet Brensinger. of Pennsylvania.
You know they are called the queen
fsherwomen of Lakeland" EYES,"
says Mrs. Dover, land there is Miss
Mary Billingsley, lover of fishing.
Yes, Mrs. Dover, and there is Edna,
if she takes after her dad, may add
to the pile of fish. We will place our
selves under the care of Captain War
ner, of Tampa, not only because he is
an expert navigator but for his SUI
premely fascinating and almost kill
ing smile.
We did. After procuring the bait
we soon reached the fishing grounds,
and nine baited hooks were in action.
''Hiker" soon had the honor of catch
ing the first Spanish mackerel Of the
season in Hillsborough Bay, accord
ing to the decision of Captain War
ner and King" Lufsey. After par
taking of bounteous dinner of oys-
ters and other things provided by
Lufsey fishing began again.
Soon a spirit of rivalry began be-
tween Mrs. Dover and Miss Billingsly
and fish landed upon the dock so fast
that the Captain lost his affinity
(pipe). There started up a slight ri
valry between Mrs. Hiker, Mrs. Dover
and the twins. The Lake Morton
"fisherqueens" were soon so far
ahead that their competitors threw
up the sponge. Dover, the King, and
Hiker were not up to their standard
but caught enough to pay their board
Miss Billingsly had the honor of
catching the greatest number, with
Miss Dover very close second.
