men was Friday evening initiated into
Moline camp, No. So, NJ. w. A. This
is the actual number of the 100" class
that was on the floor; the remaining
IL candidates will be taken into the
order at the next meeting. 1t was due
to the efforts of Ernest Boultinghouse
Of Aledo. district deputy, and ]. l..
Swim of this city, assistant district
deputy, that this largest class ever in
itiated here was organized. j. A. Rut-
ledge of Elgin, member of the board
of directors, was to have been he~e
to address the camp, and his failure
to appear was the only disappoinr-
ment Illness prevented his coming
but his place on the program was &C
ceptably filled by John Harris, city

Trying to Locate Stockholders
Charles S. Kerns, receiver for the Mo-
line Building, Savings and Loan as
sociation, is now busy seeking holders
of small blocks of stock to submit 10
them the proposed plan of settling the
affairs of the association without fur
Their recourse to the courts. He de-
sires to confer with as many of these
stockholders as possible to the end
that he may report practically unani-
nous approval. In checking over the
list of stockholders he has come 20
the names of several persons with
whom he is not acquainted. He has
been baffled at every turn in his at
tempts to find these parties; their
names don't appear in the city direc-
tory. and his opinion is that they have
removed from Moline at some period
subsequent to the time when they sub
scribed for stock in the association.
He will count it favor If any persons
having knowledge of the present
whereabouts of these parties will con
fer with him at once: Carl Peterson,
Emil Johnson, William Peterson, E.
Van Hoorbeke. Nils Anderson, Edwin
Fisher
