LEGION PICTURE
WONDERFUL SAY
THEATRE GUESTS

A wonderful picture of inspira-
ton to patriotism was the united
sentiment of more than 80 promi-
nent citizens who attended the
special performance of "The Man
Without a Country" at the Fort
Armstrong theatre this morning.
The picture will be shown at the
theatre three days beginning today
under the auspices of Rock Island
post, American Legion.
The legion guests sat motionless
while on the screen was portrayed
Everett Hale's wonderful classic.
The picture carries the audience
back to the days of the 18th and
10Th centuries, instills the thought
of patriotism by its story, and pro-
notes courage.
Each of the guests said their chill
dren would see the film, and recon-
mended it as one of the best pic
lures of patriotism ever shown.
Here's what some of the legion
guests said:
John G. Huntoon, vice president
Tri-City Railway company: Il
think every man should see it. 1t
is a great inspiration toward pat
riotism."
A. B. DuVon, manager Rock Is
land Lumber company: 1T is great.
l think every school child should
see it."
Rev. Frank Marsten, Spencer
Memorial church: Splendid pic
ture. Everyone ought'to see it."
Justin Washburn. county super
intendent of schools: Every
school child ought to see it
Harry P. Simpson, postmaster,
All l can say is that it is wonder
full"

HEDDING MAY
CONSIDER new
CHANGE OFFER
Abingdon Failing to Fulfill Its
Promises; DIR. Green Free
qnent Visitor Here.

Possibility of renewal Of negotia-
lions for the removal of Hedding
college, Abingdon, to Rock Island
is suggested by the visit OF DR..
Clarence w. Green. president of the
Methodist institution to Rock Is
land Saturday.
II is unders stood that on the oc-
casion of his visit the status OF the
situation so far as the college is
concerned, will In all probability be
discussed. Whether or not the Rock
Island Chamber of Commerce COM
mittee would consider renewing
its offer is a qeustion.
The opinion has been expressed
thai If the negotiations are renewed
the first overtures should come
from the college authorities.
News from Abingdon is to the eff
feet that the whole question of the
town making good its promises to
build a new gymnasium for the col
lege, erect a hall of science, and
raise an endowment fund Of $780,,
900. will come to issue at a meet
ing of thu board of trustees Tues
Ody, April 20 IN the event that IL
becomes apparent by that date that
Abingdon is unable or unwilling to
carry out its agreement with the
trustees, the matter will be referred
to the conference which is sched-
uled TO meet at Peoria Wednesday,
April &c. Information of a reliab BILE
character is, that the factional feel
ing has developed in Abingdon to
the extent that doubt is entertained
if the promised fund can be raised.
No Amalgama6On.
II removal from Abingdon
should again be considered by the
board of trustees of the college. it
is understood that there would be
strong objection to an amalgama-
tion with Illinois Wesleyan, Bloom
ington, on the part of influential
members of the board of trustees
and of the conference. In that case,
the matter of a removal of the in<
stitution to Rock Island may again
be agitated President Green of
Hedding college was in Rock Island
yesterday for a brief time. but his
visit had nothing to do with the re-
newal of the Rock Island negotia-
tons.

No Canadian Trip
This Year by Eagles

No Canadian trip will be taken by
me Eagle baseball team this season
according to announcement made Tues
day by Manager Bill Mckee. This fol-
lows receipt of a letter from the man
ager of the Sh%aunavon, Saskatchewan,
club, who states that the proposed
post season series canont be swung.
The Canadian harvest has been so
late this year that the fair dates,
during which time the local team was
to go over the boundary, have been
changed to a later time. This would
make it too late for the Eagles to
consider the expedition.
1t is planned. however, according
to the Canadians, to hold a baseball
tournament during July of next year,
at which either four or six towns will
play off a championship. Two of the
teams are to be from Montana cities,
these to be Great Falls and Havre.
Negotiations are still pending with
Butte in the attempt to arrange some
sort OF a post season playoff between
the Eagle team here and some team
of the Butte City league. In the
event that this does not materialize.
there will be a five game series played
here in the city between the winning
team of the city league and the run
ner up.

Local Hatchery Trout
Fry Ready In 10 Days

local hatchery is o a factor counted
on to expedite the stocking of northern
Montana streams.
Mr.. Wilcoxson has an interesting
story to tell on how the fry must be
transported from hatchery to stream,
At the hatchery they will be placed
in water in special shipping cans which
are similar to an ordinary milk can.
Enough ice must be carried enroute 10
keep the water at a temperature be
low 30 degrees. A - pound cake would
suffice for several cans for a long
trip. The ice is put inside the can. nor
is there any danger of the water be
coming too cold for the little pas
sengers.
Once arrived at the stream the next
procedure is to place the can In the
creek, preferably in a small eddy where
the water is not too swift. Then the
difference in temperature between
the creek water and that in the can
is equalized by a few minute dipping
back and forth of water from one to
the other. This done. the can is tipped
over gently and the little fry allowed
to slide easily into their future home
The fry will be about three quarters
of an inch in length at he time they
go to the streams. and their future
growth depends on the swiftness of
the water where they go and the feed
conditions. With favorable conditions
it will not be much more than a year
before the angler can use his Royal
Coachmen and skill t tempt a six
inch fighting %youngster of a native
| trout into a strike.

West Siders came up for their turn
with the ash in the fourth. Strizich
again led off, getting a pretty blngle
into deep short territory, stealing Sec
ond, and going to third when a throw
from the mound to catch him off bag
bounced from his shoulder into the
field. Shields and Festelli were re-
tired by a young fly and a strikeout
and then Pogreba brought Strizich
home by a sharp single beautifully
placed between third and short. His
steal of second was futile, however
for Ryan popped the final out to
short.
With the score at 3 to 2, all was
quiet until the Electrics came up in
the sixth, which was another fatal
frame for the West Siders. Pete Bross
burned one through the pitchers box
much too fast for Ryan to handle, for
an opener. Dill then connected for
two bases over second and got to
third when Pogreba fell in fielding and
made a THROWN just a bit too late

in Left field trickled through the gard

SPIRIT OF OLD TIME WEST LIVES
in NORTH OIL FIELDS, MINISTER
AFTER SCHOOL DONATIONS THINKS

If anybody is looking for the typical
spirit of the old-time west. it is to be
found in the oil fields of northern Mon
tana. says the Rev. John Chirgwin,
field superintendent of the Montana
Deaconess schools, who was in the city
Tuesday, the guest of the Rev. x. q.
Bennett, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church.
Going to the oil fields with the in
~tention of soliciting subscriptions for
his work, the minister found generous
offers coming from everyone. Through
the efforts of Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Campbell a donation of $1,000 for the
Deaconess work was made. Mrs.
Campbell gave her personal assistance
in helping Mr.. Chirgwin canvass the
oil district. The money will be used
for the Van Orsdel memorial home for
children. There was a widespread
willingness on the part of the oil men
to give money that was to be used for
the benefit of children, Mr.. Chirgwin
said. Contracts for the walls and roof
of the school, which is undeAt construc-
ton in Helena, will be let THIS month,
he said.
