the season tomorrow afternoon.
With favorable weather the cub
hopes to make it one OF the most
interesting programs of the year.
There will be three harness events
anu a running race, together with
motorcycle events for stock and
racing type machines.
There have been four previous
cards this season and they have at
tracted large crowds. The racing
has been of a high order and keen
rivalry has been developed between
the drivers of the horses, most al
which have participated in all of
the programs. Races this year
have been held on the track which
the club acquired last spring. 1t
is located on the F'rels farm on

AT IOWA CITY
FOR BIG GAME
Local Interest Increased by Pres
enee of Three Tri-Cty
Boys in Lineups.

Hundreds OF tri-city people are
in Iowa City today to witness the
Iowa-Illinois football game and to
take part in the annual Iowa home
coming celebration. The majority
of fans went by motor over the
River-to-River route, while others
left on the morning trains over
the Rock Island lines.
Local interest in the game, which
is the center of attraction today in
middle west football circles, is
especially keen this year, owing to
the presence of tri-city boys on
both elevens. Paul Anderson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs K. T. Anderson,
917 Nineteenth street, started the
game at right guard this afternoon
for Illinois. Anderson was a for
mer star of Rock Island high school
and has taken prominent part in
Illinois athletics since entering the
state institution. Otto Vogel of
Davenport is on the Illini eleven,

CERMANScLINC
TO old BANNER
Flag of Republic Less Often Seen
Than Any Other-Not Rec
ognized.

Berlin-The black, red and gold
flag of the German republic is less
in evidence than any other of the
dozen or more official emblems
which wave from houses of every
town and city of the country. The
most popular banner is the black,
white and red of the former en-
pire. In some provinces and in d
number of small towns the repub-
lican flag has never been flown, is
not recognized and cannot be pur-
chased.
The red flag of the communists
usually flies side by side with the
republican colors during any popu-
lar parades or manifestations.
The only definite effort to pre-
vent the use Of the flag of the re-
public has come from the mercan-
tile interests, which are strenuous
ly seeking authority to retain their
old colors-the flag of the empire
with the outline of an iron cross
in the upper right hand corner. 1t
is argued this flag was known in
nearly every port of the world war
before the war and that its aban-
donment would handicap German
shipping, which is seeking with all
available means to regain its pre-
war prestige
The government has indicated
that a referendum may soon be
held TO permit the people generally
to decide whether the demand of
the mercantile interests should be
granted.
Each German state holds proud
ly to its old colors-the black
white of Prussia, the blue-white of
Bavaria, the green-white of Sax
ony, and, among the German resi-
dents, the yelIow-white of Upper
SiIesia. East Prussia flies the flag
of the empire, and declares it will
have no other,

WILHELM NOW
IS GARDENER

Doom, Holland, Oct. 15.-CBy
The Associated Press. 1.-THE slump
in the German mark is beginning to
affect the former German emperor,
who is endeavoring to combat IN
favorable financial conditions by
reducing his household and other
radical measures. Today ten mem
bers of his staff were dismissed,
including the chief gardener, whose
place has been taken by William
himself.
Gardening now has become a
hobby with the former emperor,
who appears to have tired of saw
ing and chopping wood.
