jointly in the movement to secure

the grand lodge 10 to establish some

ton. The purpose Of the lodges OF
both cities 70 act in conjunction WAS
referred to in TIE ARGUs Of yestsr-
day. The Moline lodges have
already taken the matter mp and
delegated committees. and . joint
meeting of the two city lodge rep
resentatives 10 suggested for Satur.
day night. East Moline has already
been proposed - Offering IN ideal
site, while there are locations equally
advantageous immediately contigu-
Gus to both cities. It Is understood
that c. H. Pope. representing the
East Moline company, has . PROPOSE
ton which he will submit in writing.
in which he agrees to furnish the 500
acres of land required for the pur-
pose. While it Is possible to secure
the location of this institution. the
time is short, for the propositions
must all be in by Feb. Is. and con-
siderable money will have to be
Praised. Decatur has an offer Of
$40, GOO and other cities are working
hard to get it, among others Mon
mouth and Peoria. II the twin cities
could offer 800 acres of land free that
would be . great inducement.
The plan of the grand lodge is to
build 1000 cottages where, with o
small patch of ground for each cot
tage, the aged and invalid Odd Fell
lows and their wives can be self sup
porting. One of the conditions ID
that the land shall have good drain
age and be near an electric light
plant. 80 that the grounds can be
illuminated by electricity.
Best Pan Of Aotssa.
Rock Island and Moline have lei
pass many such opportunities in
the past dozen or more years, and
have simply neglected opportunities
which. as the success of the Wood
men head offices and the state los.
pital undertakings show. might have
been realized. Other great orders
have located homes, and the twin.
cities, while discussing them, have
not made the united and determined
effort that they might have. 1t
seems now that the best plan would
be for the representatives Of the two
lodges. il q joint purpose 10 pro.

convenient to Rock Island or to No.
line, and when that much il deter.

The location anywhere in the
county will be an object worthy Of
the highest zeal and could not fail to
b, an honor to the community.
