Two Days of Convention
The dates of the county convention
are April 30 and 81. The call has been
issued by Rev. Marion Humphreys, of
Milan, the president. and Mrs. J. b.
Rutter, of Rock Island, the secretary.
It is as follows:
The 2Sth annual convention of the
Rock Island County Sunday School as
sociation will be held in the village of
Cordova Thursday and Friday. April
20 and q, 1905, commencing Thursday
morning at o'clock Each school in
the county is entitled TO three voting
delegates, aside from county and town
ship officers, who are eX-OfficiO dele
gates. But every Sunday school work
er is cordially invited to attend this
convention. All delegates should be
elected at once and names should be
sent TO o. c. Handel. of COrdova. All
pastors, Sunday school officers, teach
ers and others are invited to attend
every session. A hospitable welcome
Il
ers of Cordova to all who will attend
the convention. Entertainment will be
provided for all delegates.
Good Railroad Connections.
THE railroad connections with Cor
dOva are easily and frequently made.
The c., NJ. & St p. railroad runs
trains to Cordova on the Illinois side
of the river and also from Davenport
on the Iowa side to Princeton. just
across from Cordova. Also the Daven-
port & Clinton interurban runs cars
from Davenport TO Princeton every
two and a half hours. A safe launch
and boats meeting trains and cars will
transfer delegates from the Iowa side
The program will be the very best
possible. Prominent workers not only
of the county, but some of the strong
est workers of the state will be pres
cnt. Everyone will remember with
pleasure and thankfulness the conven-
ton last year at Reynolds. Every
school received a blessing. We have
every reason to believe that the Cor
dOva convention will be even a greater
blessing to our whole county.
Help VIII BE Mutual.
But we must all be there Your
school has had a blessing during the
past year. that will fill a need in anoth-
er school You may have a great need
in your school. Come and find what
will supply it. We can mutually help
each other We therefore ask the
prayer of every worker for the bless
ing of God and the presence of the
Holy Spirit on this convention.
I'VE earnestly ask the hearty CO.
operation of all pastors and other Sun
day school workers to publicly an
nounce this call as often as possible
and TO talk of the convention and pray
for Gods blessing upon the churches
and schools of the entire county"

Case in Township
Seventeen.

County superintendent of Schools
S. J. Ferguson has received no report
of the election for the choosing of
dirccto" of schools in Township Il,
west, announced to have been called
Saturday of last week
Reports in the Moline newspapers
were IN effect that notice of the cleo
ton had been printed. but that when
the hour for the opening of the polls
arrived there was none 10 act as Judge.
those whose names were suggested by
the men gathered at the polling place
declining To serve unless they were
assured of pay.
Four Towns Included.
Township Il embraces portions of
the townships Of Moline, Stewartville,
Coal Valley and Black Hawk. Here
tofore IN school elections it has been
divided in three precincts. One direc-
tor would serve as Judge at each pre-
cinct. with the assistance of two 9th
er citizens whom he would select. The
nine judges would be paid from the
district school funds. each receiving
81 for his service as judge.
violation Goes ON Several Years.
This was the order for several years.
Superintendent Ferguson knew that it
was not according to the letter of the
law for the judges of election to re-
coive compensation, but as the amount
was so small be passed it over without
saying anything to the directors Of the
township in question. But one year
ago the state superintendent noticed
the item and called the attention OF
the Rock Island county superintendent
to the same. advising him that it was
in violation of the school laws; that
directors should be the judges and
without pay.
Fine of So Provided.
Mr. Ferguson has been investigating
since the occurrence and finds there is
a fine of $25 imposed on director for
failure to sit as judge at an election
in his district. There are three direc-
tors in Township Il, and there could
be collected SIS for the general school
fund. but it has not been determined
whether the penalty will be enforced;
in fact Mr. Ferguson said today that
he had had no official knowledge OF
the circumstances, all he has had to
go on being the newspaper reports,
but he would probably look into the
case more thoroughly for his own sat
isfactiOn.

Farmers, gardeners, florists, seedsmen,
greenhouse proprietors, nurserymen,
indeed, any one who will send his name
on postal card to c. S. Page, Hyde
Park, VT, and simply say Il saw your
a sample of your Pages Plant Food, "
will receive a sample promptly, free,
postpaid. From what we know of the
reputation of Mr.. Page we are inclined to
believe that his plant food is an article
of genuine merit, and when you note the
ngredients-and he will send them to
you with the mail sample-you will see
that the ordinary impositions that are
too often practiced upon the farmers un-
der the head of FERTILIZERS do not
exist in Pages Plant Food. 15t4

Christian Endeavor Campaign.

The officers of the Vermont Christian
Endeavor Union and the officers of the
various county unions are planning for a
series of county conventions to be held
in nearly every county in the state. The
first convention was held at Barton
Landing today and the campaign will
close in this town June 3.
Rev. Charles d. Crane, the energetic
and popular field secretary of the Maine
Union, has been engaged for these con-
Ventions, and his wide experience in
Christian Endeavor affairs, his good
sense and tact will enable him to give
valuable service to the Endeavorers of
Vermont. Representatives of the state
board will also be present at these con-
ventions, and every effort will be made
to make the meetings helpful and profit
able.
