MOLINE MENTION

The jubilee celebration of the Wo-
mans guild of the Christ Protestant
Episcopal church Thursday evening
at the church rectory was even Ii
greater event than the hostess had
planned. As il was the whole parish
was surprised by the presentation of
$500 made by friend TO clear the
total debt of the church. Several
years ago when the church was organ
lied the members of the Women's
guild took it upon themselves to pro-
vide a lot on which the church should
he built. They purchased the lot on
which the church now stands for S.
500. Since that time the organization
has been paving that amount every
year until last December it was an
nounced that the total debt had been
cleared. In honor of this the recep-
tion was given Thursday evening at
the rectory by the guild.
Amid all of this cold weather the
management of the iRterurban road
is plannin" for next summer when a
sWeItering populace will flee from the
city for the cooling confines of Camp
bells island. 1t has been decided to
erect Il pavilion on the island for the
presentation Of IL continuous vaude-
Vile, afternoon and evening. The isl
and win be cleared out for use for
campers and picnic purposes and made
i'm every wa% attractive, though the hu-
tel will not probably he erected this
summer.
