fact that the Democrats and Democratic County
Court appoint two-thirds OF the commission ers,
while the Republicans appoint one-third will,
doubtless. make it clear to the most naive Why the
Republicans failed to appoint as many women
as the Democrats The Times scarehead story OF
the way the Republicans shelved the women in

The fact that the Times would take it for granted
that the Republican women were Ignorant of the
way the appointments would be made for the
boards the primaries, and did not know that
the Democrats would have the power to appoin;
two to one on these boards, displays a ridiculous
underestimation Of the intelligence Of the Repub1.-
can women. If the Times extends this underesti-
nation to the intelligence Of the women OF their
own party they had better wake The Times
cannot fool the women Of this county, neither Re

The county authorities express intention OF com

car having only light is problem to every
driver on the road, especially on moonless even

car is in imminent danger minute he is driv-

such person is the fact that every other driver

Don't Let That Cold
Turn Into "Flu"
Rub MusteroIe on the Congested Parts

Grippe, Flu" Pneumonia all
start the same way-with a cold.
All colds are congestion and Mus
terole is a simple counter-irritant
which brings circulation back to
normal and helps prevent serious
developments
Remember that messy old mus
tard plaster. how it stung and bis
tered! 1t did the work all right, but
Oh, it was a stern measure. Mus
terole has all the healing proper
ties of grandmother's pet remedy
without the sting and blister.
Made of pure oil of mustard
camphor, menthol and other sooth-
ing ingredients, it has been used by
physicians for years for treating
Flu" Lumbago, Grippe, Pleurisy
rheumatism, Neuralgia, Headache
and Pneumonia.
1t was used in our training camps
during the Flu" epidemic a few
years ago The Y. NJ. c. A. sent
thousands of jars to France for our
soldiers over there.
At the first sign of a cold, get out

COUNTRY STILL
NEEDS PRACTICE
STRICT ECONOMY

A. F. Dawson of, Davenport is Of
the belief that this country has
passed the danger point and is Oh
its way back to normally. He ex-
pressed this belief In an address
before members of the Moline Uni
versity club last evening. His topic
was What of the Future?'
we shall still have to practice
the old-fashioned virtues of econ
cmy, but 1 am satisfied that the
much feared panic has been avert
ed" he continued
The farmers, according to Mr..
Dawson. were the first to be hit by
hard times, and since agriculture
is the basic industry of the coun-
try, were the most vitality affected.
They felt, he said, that they were
not getting a square deal from otn-
er interests and consequently went
on a buyers strike when prices
which they received for their pro-
ducts dropped to almost nothing
Mr. Dawson declared that the
United States must help Europe get
on its feet commercially. To this
end he advocated lower tariff. He
stated that he did not want to bring
in goods which would offer harm
full competition TO American in
dustry, but that he believed that a
basis of duty could be arranged
which would offer Europe a chance
to market its products.

VETERANS HAVE
HAPPY REUNION
IN TAMPA, FLA

Three members of Company a,
Ninth Illinois Calvary, which was
formed in Rock Island so years ago,
had a reunion at the winter home
of S. R. VanSant, former governor
of Minnesota, at Tampa, Fla, sew
eral days ago.
Besides Mr.. VanSant were s. S.
Crompton of Moline and N. G. Van
SAINT of Sterling, brother of the
former governor. Wives of the
three veterans also attended the
reunion.
n. G. VanSant is said to be the
only veteran of the Civil war who
served in France during the World
war After being rejected by the
Y. NJ. C. A. because of his age, Mr..
VanSant succeeded in enlisting in
the Salvation army corps, and his
foreign service included smany
thrilling experiences in the dugouts
and at the front.

MEXICAN SOCIAL
CENTER RAZED;
FOUR ARE FINED

The red box car in the Silvis rail-
road yards, which has served as a
social center for members of the
Mexican colony, has been ordered
torn down by officials of the Rock
Island Lines. This order came as
an aftermath of the alleged shoot
ing affair Sunday afternoon, when
Jose Mendoza declares, five shots
were fired at him by one of four
men who chased him from the box
car. Mendoza was conducting q
meeting which was designed to aid
In preparing them for American
ization. The men were not in &C
cord with the teachings of Mendoza,
according to the police.
The four offenders were each
hned $40 and costs yesterday aft
ernoon for being drunk and dis
orderly. They are Joe Hernandez,
Augustine Cegas, Lavera Mosques
and lisa Errara
Police of Silvis have not been
successful in their search for the
TWO men who are alleged to have
held up Mrs. Ben Quintana Monday
evening. Mrs. Quintina was accost-
ed by two Mexicans wearing hand
kerchiefs over their faces. One Of
'ae men. she says. seized her
around the throat and demanded
money. She screamed and the men
escaped. Both the box car incident
and the holdup are said by the po-
nee to be indicative of a revival of
iactional war in the Mexican col
ony. Mendoza and Quintana. it is
believed, are leaders of the two
factions.

ROCK RIVER IS
QUIET AT THIS
POINT; NO ICE
Stage at Milan Remains Normal
Despite Fioed Conditions
at Dixon.

Rock rixer at this point has
shown no perceptible change in
stage in spite of food conditions
existing at Dixon, Rockford and
other points, according to report
from lock 80, near Milan. late this
afternoon. The river here is free
of ice and not likely to be affected
when the ice gorge at Dixon is
broken and the high waters at that
point begin TO recede. The United
States engineers office at Milan
states that the distance between
here and Dixon is sufficient to al
low the rush of water to adjust
itself to the rivers banks and show
no material difference in stage.
Local river authorities are keep
ing in close touch with Dixon,
where conditions have reached an
acute situation, due to gorged ice-
The blockade has caused the river
to back up and overflow In to the
city, where thousands of dollars
damage has been done Easements

is being dynamited~ in an effort to
check the rise of water and relieve
the pressure of the ice on the llli-
nois Central railroad bridge.
