Olive Drab Uniforms for Mem
bers of Company A to Be
Distributed.
ARE OF LATEST PATTERN
Will Complete Equipment of Local
Organization Making 1t Ready
for Inspection.

| Captain E. H Dunavin of Company
A has received notice of the shipment
! of an entire new set of service uni
forms for his command and the mem
bers of the company have been or
dered to be present at the armory this
evening in order that the issue of the
new suit can be made. The equip
ment is olive drab, the latest style in
vogue in the United States army
The addition of these uniforms COM
| pletes the company equipment and
makes it ready to stand inspection by
a United States army officer April II.
From now until inspection drill time
will be spent in perfecting the men
on such points as come up and in ad-
dition to the regular drills on Monday
evening there will be school for the
on-commissioned officers on Thurs
day evenings.
VIII Probably Stay.
Present indications are that Com
pany A will not be mustered out of
the service, as has been feared. The
membership roll of the company has
steadily increased during the past two
months, and it has come to be be-
leved that if the company shows up
well at inspection in April it will not
be mustered out, even If it does not
come up to the minimum number re-
quired under the Dick bill. Army Of
ficers state that small company we'll
trained is preferable to much larger
company with less training, and for
this reason the minimum clause in the
Dick bill will probably not be en-
forced strictly, but will be used merely
as a club to hold over companies to
force them to keep up an effort at
least to add to their membership

LAST DAUGHTER OF GOV.
FORD DIES IN POVERTY
Buried at Peoria With Few Mourn
ers-End Like That of Distin-
guished Father.

the grave with but four mourners to
pay respects, the body of Mrs. Anna

ernor Thomas Ford, was inferred be-
side her mother, father and sister as

prayer as the body was consigned to
its last resting place.
After three years in the deaconess
hospital at Lincoln, H., Mrs. Davies
died Thursday night at the age of 72
years, penniless and with but one liv-
ing relative, a daughter. With but
scant funds to provide proper burial,
The daughter, Mrs. Watson of Oska-
loosa. Iowa, arranged to bring the body
of her mother, the last immediate
member of Governor Ford's family,
here for burial. Through the aid of
four Lincoln residents a modest coffin
was purchased and the funeral ar
ranged at their expense. Services
were held at Trinity church in Lincoln
yesterday afternoon.

the death of one of the states great
est governors, who was also publisher
of a history of Illinois. Like his
daughter and the other members of
his family, he passed away penniless
in 1850. Governor Ford. after his sue
cessful and highly beneficial reign as
executive of Illinois from 1912 to 1916,

OFFICIAL SPRING
IS WITH US NOW
Advent Unaccompanied by the Usual
Equinoctial Disturbance, but
End Is Not Yet.

About 5:25 this morning spring Of
f1cially arrived in Rock Island. Its
advent was not marked by the usual
disturbance of the elements, both the
preceding and succeeding hours be-
ing calm and seasonable. 1t is doubt
full if there ever was such an ideal
March and the average of sunshine
and temperature is bound to be high,
no matter what we get during the re-
mainder of the month. The equinoc-
tial period now with us is expected
by the prophets to provide a storm
of some sort, though there is no in
dication of it's approach as yet.
