Island arsenal was given the atten-
ton that it is entitled to, and now for
the first time the introduction of a
small arms plant here has been prac-
tically provided for, and the acquisi-
ton seems reasonably assured.
Likewise at Springfield.
At Springfield, the state capital, in
addition to the regularly accredited
delegates from the county to the state
head camp of the Woodmen order,
Rock Island sent Il commission rep
resentative of the Woodmen camps,
independently, and of citizens gener-
ally as an Indication that this city's
interest in Woodmen affairs did
not lapse the moment the head office
was safely landed within the confines
of Rock Island, but that the people
are as ready as ever to spare no eff
fort in the orders or Rock Islands
behalf, or in behalf of anything that
will strengthen the relations of the
city and the great society. AS a re-
suit the various interests represented
in the county gathering at the capital
reached an understanding whereby
the county, as the Woodmen strong
hold, reaped greater gains than could
have been possible otherwise, and all
came home contented. What was ac-
complished would have been out of
the question but for the special dele

Thus was rounded up good weeks
