At the meeting of the Rock Island

vention at Bloomington with Rock Is

L. NJ. Wright, himself a commercial
traveller. writes to The Argus TO suS
gest that a corps of well trained men,
bers OF his profession are the best and
most constant, and most effective
boosters a city can have. For his
own part, Mr.. Wright says he never
fails to say a good word for Rock Is
land and he believes q little concerted
effort in this direction will do more TO
develop a sense or appreciation Of this
city's advantages among the surround
ing towns and cities than any other
one thing. AS an example of what
commercial travellers can do for a city
Mr.. Wright points to Cedar Rapids,
which is recognized as one of the best
advertised towns in the country. The
following interview credited to a mer-
chant in town near Cedar Rapids
and printed in the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette explains itself:

marked the merchant to the wander

FUNNY TO FOREIGN VISITORS

Features of American Life That
Seem odd to Tourists.
We may think the continental candle
a great joke, but foreigners coming
here are Just as much humored by
American institutions, says the New
York Press. For instance: Frank Gill
more, the actor, saw many funny things
when he came here on his first visit.
His first resting place was the United
States hotel in Boston. His room was
smotheringly hot. He sought relief by
opening the windows, but the tenpera-
ture remained unbearable. He had
read Of the awful temperature in Amer
lean hotels and got the notion that his
room was lined with steam pipes. A
critical search for the lever to shut of
the heat failed. Suddenly he espled a
doorstep and at 1t pulled and tugged
for some time in vain. The room was
growing hotter.
The radiator was in full view all the
time, but Frank had never made the In
innate acquaintance of such a monster.
Becoming disheartened, he decided to
call for help. Over the electric push
button was a notice: zone push will
bring a bellboy." Here was another
puzzle. In Europe he knew boots" and
porter" but no bellboy. However, he
pushed and took chances. Luther, as
black as the ace Of spades, responded.
Pointing to the unoffending doorstep
Gilmore said: ut doesn't work"
Luther looked woozey. Frank walked
over and tapping the step with his fin
ger, remarked: 1--WE pulled it three
times and it doesn't work." Luther,
the whites Of his eyes as big as Sat-
urn's ring, tried to escape; but his
senses came back and he shut Off the
heat; and the actor gradually cooled
off.
Gilmore cannot be as fresh as the
average "knowall" British tourist. One
day he wanted to write q letter and
noticing fine, large room near the
clerks desk provided with big tables,
chairs and writing utilities approached
II. A legend stared him in the face:
This room for guests only all others
keep out" GillmOre's Interpretation of
'gnest' was that it was one who ac-
cepted anothers hospitality without
payment, therefore he must be wis
itOr," and the room was intended for
him to bring a friend in, but being
alone he thought he could not enter.
He retired to his room and wrote his
letter there.
One night Gilmore was introduced to
our great American favorite-"corn ON
the COB" or "rOas'n' yeahs" FOREIGN
ers know nothing of this delicacy. The
actor attempted to eat it with a knife
and fork, by slicing it off as you would
a banana; but failing to make an I'm.
preston summoned the waiter and or
dered another corn, as that wasn't
cooked through.

Build a TooIhonae.

Every farmer needs a good tool
house. 1t should be SO convenient Of
access that there need be no excuse for
leaving farm implements exposed to
the weather when not in use. Prop
erly cared for, many implements that
now last only a few years ought to be
serviceable as long as the farmer lives
to need them. Besides, a tool that has
not been rusted, warped and cracked
by exposure will work as well the sec
ond and third year of use as the first
On many farms the tools are so much
injured by being left out of doors that

The general-purpose farm horse is
One that can be well utilized in ordl-
nary farm work of all kinds and can
also do the limited amount Of road
work needed in connection with the
working of the medium-sized or small
farm, says a well-known farmer. A
horse called "chunk" in market,
standing 10 to 16 hands high, weighing
from LOO to 1,4OO pounds, compactly
built, with good feet and legs, tract
able, lively disposition, a good, clean,
rapid way of going at walk or trot, is
In brief, the kind of a horse that 1
would call a general-purpose horse.
This kind of a horse has a place on
farms, and we say Is the most val
liable class, SO far as farm work Is
concerned. You will note that he par
takes of the qualities of both the
draught and coach or heavy roadster
types, in both his conformation and
disposition.

A Small Greenhouse.

To speak of a greenhouse suggests
the idea of an expensive building that
requires much labor on the part OF
some person to keep in order. Wnile
it is possible to spend almost any
amount, a very practical house can be
made Of hot-bed sash, using the south
piazza as a basis for operations HOT
bed sash, all ready for use, costs from
1926 to $3.50 each, and measures 3Xo
feet; the glass in these frames meas
ures 1Ox12 inches.
Buy the sash first, and then build
according to the number of SASH This
