M'CORD FILLY WINS
= AT STATE FAIR

Issie Peavine, 2-year-o1d daugll
ter of Rex Peavine, has won the
stake for plantation saddle mares
and geldings any age at the State
Fair. She is the property of Z.
P. McCord, Jr., of this city, who
took the horse to Louisville for
the fair. The filly is undefeated
having triumphed over all at the
Blue Grass fair held in Lexing-
ton. Many old and experienced
horsemen have looked this filly
over and pronounce her hard to
beat by any horse. In getting
the blue tie Mr.. McCord received
SIS. Many thought she would
not continue her fine showing at
Louisville, but she won easily
from field of'eight horses. Mr..
McCord is again congratulated on
his success. w. L. Evans, of
Sharpsburg, won the red ribbon
on Black Man.

SWIFT PRODUCE REVIEW

Rain throughout most of the
producing sections has improved
pasturage and gives promise OF
some increase in the deliveries of
cream. Prices show little change
frof last week. Dairy authorities
sugget that at thin time of the
year, when the grass is short, it
is a good plan to give the cows a
little extra feed, both morning
and evening. in order to keep UP
the milk flow. 'e'
The supply of fresh eggs IS
smaller and good prices are beng
paid. There is an over supply OF
held stock and prices are not
quite as firm as last week. There
is a large surplus of eggs in cold
storage.
Poultry receipts have been al
most normal for the season. The
approaching Jewish holidays in :
creased the demand, with some
advance noted for live poultry
and more satisfactory situatnop
for dressed stock. Any large in
crease in the movement would
probably be followed by some
reaction in prices.

FACE
BAD AWAKENING
Pay Little Heed TO Warning to tset
1922 LIcense-ArreSt Threat
ened March 1.

Police Chief Tom Cox called at
tentien again today that drive VIII
be started March 1 against all auto
mobile owners who have not OBJ
tanned or applied for their 1922 state
licenses.
An official of the state automo-
bile department was in this city
week ago and announcement was
made that d number of state agents
will come to Rock Island the first
of March To aid the police IN
cleanup drive against all autom0-
bile owners who are not abiding
by the state automobile laws and
especially the license law.
Reports are that this warning has
had no effect on auto owners. 1t is
estimated that at least half of the
owners have not applied for their
state licenses and these are not
making any rush to apply Tor II
cenSeS-
1t is pointed out by the state Of
ficials that there is nothing To be
gained by putting off applications
for license as there is no reduction
in the charge on account OF the
months lapsed.
On the other hand, there is con-
siderable to lose in not making ap-
plication The amount of line and
costs of trial under arrest on
charge of violating the license law
would be sufficient to pay the Ii
cense fees in most cases.
The fact that an automobile IS
kept in a garage and not in use IS
no excuse. All automobiles must
be licensed if they are now in use
or not. OF course, those that ap-
pear on the streets with old license
numbers will get first attention.
The state agents nor the police
premise anything after March l.
From that day on auto owners are
taking their own chances.
