Economical

UNUSUALLY fine, full
- favored baking is not
the only advantage to expect
of Valier's Dainty Flour.
Dainty is milled from only the
creamy white centerS of choice,
prime soft winter wheat.
The quality of Dainty is so
high and so uniform that
Dainty never causes a failure.
That's economy No. /.
And because it is milled from
such fine wheat, Dainty re-
quires less lard. That's econ
omy No. z.
Dainty costs less than it did last
year. That's economy No. 8.
Dainty must always cost more
than ordinary -four because
Dainty quality wheat costs
more than ordinary wheat
but the little extra you pay
for Dainty this year will buy
you more baking satisfaction
than ever before.

Get RIOT CUM
WORD TO BANKS
Safeguard Your Institution as I'm
Gle Sam Protects Mail" Ad-
vises State Group.

Rock Island bankers have recefv-
ed a late bulletin of the Illinois
Bankers association, which urges
bankers to obtain riot guns for
their protection, and which con-
tains the admonition, Guard your
bank like Uncle Sam guards the
mails"
THE feeling of complacency that
some bankers have because secur-
tiles are entirely covered by insur-
ance and that actual loss through
a burglary, robbery or holdup will
not result in loss to the bank, has
been the means, in some cases, of
causing the banks to be an easy
prey, and incidentally the increase
in insurance rates" says the bulle-
tin. Obtain riot guns of the saw
ed-off shotgun. five-shot variety and
place them about your bank and
other points OF advantage in the
community where you have friends
who will use them.
Remember. the mails are being
guarded by the marines, and no
train that has been guarded by a
marine has been molested, but there
have been a number of criminals
and others shot. by the marines
while attempting to ride the mail
trains"

History repeats itself even In it's

Each generation has its oral
method of expressing its love SEN

days of great grandmothers.

her lacy handkerchief, If she car

that she was single Carried in her
right hand it meant that her heart
and hand were already spoken for
Many were the little genteel flirta-
tons carried on in the days when
the little fluffy handkerchief was
the bureau of information.
The handkerchief code was fol-
lowed il. the next generation by two
other signs, one just preceding the
other. Both said 81 love you" or
I'm single" or Il want someone.
Then the high school miss, sat
at her desk and rested her, dainty
cheek on one of her fingers, indi-
eating to her sweetheart. who sat
several seats away that she wanted

SEANCE SUMMONS
BLACK HAWK; HE
HAS CROUCH, TOO

Through a spiritualist medium,
dian chief, who with his tribe of
redskins roamed this territory a
100 years ago, Thursday commun-
icated the story of his life and of
the persecution of his race at the
hands of the white men.
The seance was held at the Tur-
ner hall, under the auspices of the
Moline Spiritual Research society,
and Mrs. William Weatherspoon of
Moline interpreted the mystic mar
rative of the departed Indian lead
er's spirit.
The spirit began its story at a
period antedating the discovery of
America by Columbus, recounting
the events which led to the migra-
| ton of Black Hawk and his tribe
from the north. 1t pictured the ag-
grandizement of the white men,
kwho kept forcing the Indians out OF
| their possessions and finally the in
rush of the militia from Springfield.
The betrayal of the red chief by
the whites, who gave him to tribe
of Sioux Indians, his bitter enemies,
was a pathetic part of the medium
| story. Black Hawk, in the clutches
of prosecutors, was subjected to the
humiliation of having his head
shaved and his head-dress burned,
said the spirit. Later he was fed
barley and corn on hot irons and
forced to drink water which was so
| hot that it scorched his throat,
Then the Great Spirit interceded
and took him from his enemies.
The medium explained that heT
recital was the only true story ever
told.

MILLIONS LOST,
THROUGH FIRES
National Board Of Fire Underwrit-
ers Blames Carelessness for
Astounding Losses.

Figures published today by the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers place fire losses in the state of
Illinois during the Swear period
ending 1920. at SS7 SIS, and
statement is made that this huge
loss suffered from fire can be laid
to a large extent to public ignor-
ance and carelessness in fire haz-
ards.
Illinois stands third among all
the states in the amount of loss by
fire and the figures should be in
creased by about 25 per cent to
cover losses not reported to the
National Board of Fire Underwrit-
ers.
In estimates of losses there is a
total which if it had been used for
building houses would construct
1853 $4,000 homes to house ST.
s65 people, or would have built
S,796 miles of macadam roads at
$4,000 a mile. Property destroyed
by fire represents an utter and ir-
retrievable" loss, while the "inex-
cusable total in human life in many
instances and suffering caused can
hardly be computed the under
writer's declare.
The causes of fires are classad
under three headings, such as
strictly preventable." partly pre-
ventable" and unknown causes.
There are IL causes listed under the
first heading and these fires during
the Swear period on which the
check was taken represented $50
053,3O8 of the total loss or 29-6 per
cent.
Nine causes of fires are listed I'M
der the second heading and caused
losses aggregating $S4,636,S24 OF
3e4 per cent of the whole. Fires
listed under the unknown origin
list causes losses totaling S27,271,-
4S3 or 81 per cent of the whole Inc
most frequent causes of fires were
matches, smoking, electricity, spon-
taneous combustion, stoves, fur
naces. boilers and boiler pipes. The
losses during the 5-year-perloo
were as follows:
