Herbert Churchill the Most Succsssfu
Carrier Boy.
In observance Of its annual Gus
tom, THE Argus has made its pre-
seutation of a suit of clothes to the
carrier boy securing the largest num-
Der of new subscribers in the closing
three months of the year, the prize
this year having been won by Her
bert Churchill, of Route 10, which
lies between Twenty-second and
rwenty-sixth streets, running north
and south. Master Churchill made
a remarkably successful record and
received his reward as Christmas
present. The others of the carriers
received monetary gifts for their eff
forts to increase the circulation.
The plan THE ARGUS has adopted
has been found to be successful in
many respects, for while it stimu-
iates the energies of the carriers in
their service, arousing in them an
interest in the results. it at the same
time promotes efficiency in the serv-
ing of the paper to its patrons.

factory is all right, is a first
class institution and it makes q
very fair proposition which we should
avail ourselves of. 1t asks no bonus,
nor other inducements of an unrea.
sonable character. L feel that we
should go after it and spare no effort
to bring it here, as it will not only
give to Rock Island a source of EN-
ployment for IS hands at the very
start, but will serve as an impetus to
induce the establishment here oil
