East Moline Tots, 2s-9, Showing

Playing in the same poor bas-
ketball form that they did Friday
against Geneseo, Davenport was
handed q scare by East Moline last
Saturday night on the East Molin-
ers home floor. The final score
was % to 9. In the first game the
Davenporters swamped East Mo-

indicates quite a come-dovn in the
Red and Blue squads playing.
Although the Davenporters start

stopped. The playing throug hout
the first half was farcical. and the

Tho fray was . farce from the

was interesting was in the second
period when the second team and
Kewanes were on about equal

The Islanders took the lead in
the early part Of the game. In the
first half, Kewanee was unable to

The score stood 1870 when half
time was called.

In the last halt the Islanders
threw baskets almost whenever
they wanted to. All the players
were trying to throw through the
loop and the forwards took turns
making the goals. Everybody on
the team got a basket, even Hall,
the back guard, who tossed one
in from way down in his section

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1921-11-18
TRACED TO ANCIENT GREECE
Present-Day Almanac Had Its Origin
in the kaIends Used by Greeks
as Records.

Far back in the days Of ancient
Greece it was the custom to announce
the first day Of the month either
through a herald or pIacards pasted
on the city walls. These pIacards
were known as kaleEds, or kolendae,
from the Greek, 81 call or proclaim.
The book of accounts referring to the
days of the year was known as a
calendariurn, hence the word calendar.
Excayators at Pompeii have discov-
cred square block Of marble which
served the Greeks as a calendar
Each side served as a record of three
months. Each month was headed by
the proper sign of the zodiac, and
contained astronomical, agricultural
and religious information.
Tracing back the origin of the word
almanac, Verstegan, the famous old
photographer, says:
"Our ancient Saxon ancestors used
to engrave on certain squared sticks
about foot in length, sometimes
more, sometimes less, the courses of
the mooLes of the whole yeare, where
by they alwaies certainly tell WHAT
new incomes, full incomes and changes
should happen, as also their festival
daies; and such carved stick they
called aImon-aght; that Is to say, al
mon-heed, TO wit, the regard or OBJ
servation Of all the incomes, and hence
is derived the name almanac"

AND THE SENATOR SUBSIDIZED
Edison's Rejoinder to Statesman Who
Had Corrected His Pronuncia-
ton Was Crushing.

Thomas A. Edison, whose questions
naire to college graduates excited a
good deal of wrath in college circles,
can hold his own with anybody.
Once at dinner in New York a
learned senator from Harvard took
Mr.. Edison to task for pronounoing
the word curator" In the Scottish
way-the inventor is of Scottish Pres
byterian descent-with the accent on
the first syllable
'Mr. Edison" the senator said, "it
Is the usual custom to pronounce this
word curator, following the analogy
Of the Latin, in which tongue, as
you're doubtless aware, the penulti-
mate syllable is long,"
THANK you," said the great in
ventor. Il suppose you know, how
ever, that it Is the Scottish custom TO
follow the analogy of the English. and
to accent the word ON its first rather
than its second syllable; but of course
I bow to the authority of so learned
senator and so eloquent an ora
tor as yourself"

If these are the sums of money Peter

bloke who had words with the whatnot

In silence they continued their study
of the book. The whole of England
and Scotland had been split up into
districts, regulated by population
rather than area, and each district APP
peared to be in charge Of one director.
A varying number of sub-districts In
every main division had each their sub

names Drummond rubbed his eyes in
amazement. Briefly, the duties of every

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are In need of it.
A prominent druggist says 'Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

Of Pullman car, Strengthened up to

FIRST TO HELP UNFORTUNATE
Idea of Teaching Deaf and Dumb Had
Its inception in Brain of
Spanish Monk.

Search for the first man to conceive
the idea Of imparting knowledge to the
deaf and dumb leads one into a clois-
ter in the Middle ages. There. In his
little cell in a Spanish village near
Madrid, the Benedictine monk, Pedro
de Ponce, pondered In 1870 over the
problem of bow to make useful citi-
zens Of those who had been denied
both speech and hearing.
Two centuries passed before modern
England took up this charity, the De-
troit News states. George Townsend
finally succeeded In establishing a
deaf and dumb asylum In London In
1892, and in 1910 Thomas Braidwood
induced the city Of Edinburgh to fol-
low the example of the capital.
Americas first deaf and dumb in
stitution was not founded until 1860,
after the famous William Van Praagh
had introduced the oral method Of
teaching both in this country and Eng
land.
