WILL ASK BOARD TO
ALLOW ASSISTANT
Educational Committee of Superyi-
sors Finds That Superintend-
emit Has Too Much Work.

The educational committee of the
board of supervisors will recommend
at the next meeting of that body that
the county superintendent of schools
be authorized to appoint an assistant.
1t has been found by the committee in
looking over the records of the county
superintendent office that that official
has far more work to do than is posi-
BILE for one man. The county expects
him to put in no small part of his time
In visiting schools throughout the
county and at the same time it expects
him to have his Office open to those
who desire to confer with him. 1t is
impossible under the circumstances to
do all the office work that he finds abb
solutely necessary and at the same
time visit the schools, and this state of
affairs has finally been brought to the
attention Of the committee. The ap-
pointing of an assistant is provided for
by law, which fixes the salary at $500
a year and makes the county respon-
sible for this amount. The supervisors
meet next Tuesday and the report of
the committee will be made at that
time.

FROST Is PROMISED,
BUT ONLY LIGHT ONE
Prospective Freeze Causing Farmers
Uneasiness, Due to the Lateness
of tho Corn.

Light frost in exposed places" is
promised for'tohight The lowest tenn
perature last night was so degrees, but
tomorrow morning the weather depart
ment expects 1t to be some ten degrees
colder. A frost this early in the fall
while unusual, is not unexampled. A
light freeze will do little harm, but If
it is severe enough to nip the corn, the
result will be different. Corn is about
two weeks late, due to retarded develop
ment during the dry weather early In
August and the subsequent renewed
growth when the rains came. While
usually at this time of year much OF
it Is beginning to dry out, the fields
are generally as green as at any time
and the filling out of the grain is still
in progress. A freeze now would re-
suit in. much of the crop being "chaffy''
and would mean the loss of hundreds
of thousands of dollars in Rock Island
county. From two to three weeks more
of warm weather are needed to bring
corn safely through.

VETERANS HAVE
DEED FOR THE LOT
Old Soldiers Burial Ground Secured
and Canvass Will Be Made for
Funds for Monument.

meeting Of John Buford post, G. A.
r., and Siboney Bay camp, U. S. w.
", has been called for tomorrow night
for the purpose of closing up matters
in connection with the purchase of a
lot in Chippiannock cemetery for a
soldiers burial ground. The deed is
now in the hands of the committee ap-
pointed by the veterans to arrange for
the purchase, and it is proposed to be-
gin an active canvass shortly for the
purpose of raising funds for the cree
ton of the monument. The project has
met with so much encouragement thus
far that the veterans have little doubt
of ultimate success In their under
taking.

Ready for Fair.
LOAD FROM CANAL BRIDGES

Handling of Grain Made Easy Along
the Hennepin Feeder.
Farmers living along the Henne-
pin canal feeder have been furnished
with a convenient method of market
ing their grain by means of that
waterway. Permission has been Sc
sured from the government for the
loading of barges from the bridges.
Holes are cut, barges anchored un-
der them and then the farmers sim
ply drive onto the bridges and dump
their loads. 1t saves time and la
Dor and does away with the neces-
sity for elevators. About a dozen
barge loads of grain have already
been shipped to Peoria from the
feeder this season.

ELY IS HERE FOR
AEROPLANE MEET
Most Daring of the Glenn Fl.
Curtiss Performers Ar
rives in the City.
LOOKS FOR A FINE WEEK
Park Pronounced Ideal Location for
Successful Accents of Ships
McCaskrin May Take Ride.

Eugene Ely. the most daring of
the Glenn H. Curtiss corps of avia-
tors, arrived in the city last evening
as the advance guard of the per-
formers to be seen in daily flights
next week at the Rock Island expo
sition park. Mr. Ely is accompanied
by his wife, and they are registered
at the New Harper.
Mr.. Ely is a Davenport boy, the
son of Ned Ely, prominent attor-
ney of that city. He is regarded to-
day as second only to Mr.. Curtiss as
a navigator of the air, having ac-
complished feats that have startled
both continents and SO well pleased is
Mr.. Curtiss with him that he frequently
books him with his own engagement
as he has done here. Two weeks ago, at
Sheepshead Bay, he attained an al
titude of 1900 feet, and only We'd
nesday of this week, at a height of
100 feet, he raced against two au-
tomobiles for five miles and won.
The latter performance was at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, and it was witnessed
by 10000 people.
81 am here to look after the pre-
Mr.. Ely said 1.-THE local field is ideal
for successful flights, and we are an
ticipating one of our most successful
meetings of the year at your expo
sition. OF course we must depend
somewhat upon the weather. The
one element that worries us is the
wind. A slightly cloudy day is pre-
ferable, as the sun is bothersome to
the operator of the ship. We hope
to be able to give two successful flights
each afternoon during the week. We
will try for both speed and altitude
records"
McCaskrin Wants to Fly.
George Washington McCaskrin,
Rock Islands sensational mayor.
wants to Try air travelling, and &C
rice in one of the Glenn H. Curtiss
aeroplanes LuIing the week of the
Rock Island exposition, opening next
Monday afternoon at the park,
Ninth street and Eighteenth avenue.
Mayor McCaskrin made known his
wishes to T. ]. Medill. president of
the Rock Island Exposition company.
While Mr.. Medill could make no
definite promise to accommodate the
mayor, he is now in communication
with Mr.. Curtiss in an effort to get
his consent to the head of the city
government taking trip.
Doubtless there is a big element
of danger in riding in-these ships
the mayor said, but it Is an expert
ence that 1 have long craved, and
am willing to take my chances
with such masters of aerial naviga-
ton as Mr.. Curtiss and his assistants
have proved. I am serious, and II
have requested that Mr.. Curtiss be
urged to permit me to make one of
the trips. 1 know he has refused
similar requests, but I am going toi
make mine so strong that he will
have difficulty in turning me down"
Next Thursday night has been
designated as Eagles night at the ex-
position. Designs symbolic of that
fraternity will be represented in the
set pieces of the fireworks display
of that night. All the aeries of the
surrounding territory have been
apprised of the date that has been
set apart in their honor by the ex-
position directors.

LATE IN The FALL
Electric Service on Rock Island
Southern Not Begun Be-
fore November.
POWER PLANT NOT READY
Aledo Stub Will Be Finished so That
Trains Can BE Run Over it to
the Mercer Fair.

1t is now evident that electric ser
vice on the Rock Island Southern will
not be started much before November
Work in the big power house at Ed
wards river is proceeding slowly, the
structure now being placed under roof.
OF course it will not be possible to In
stall the machinery till the building is
finished and electric service cannot be
started till the company is ready to
generate it's own power, for none is to
be had from either end of the line. By
the time the power house is ready ev-
erything also will be prepared for the
opening of trolley service.
Ready for Fair.
In completing the Aledo and Alexis
stubs the company is meeting with
greater success. The laying of steel
on the Aledo line was begun today and
it will be finished in time for the run
ming of trains by steam power so that
the Mercer county fair, week after
next, will be more easily accessible
from the north and south. A mile of
track will be laid each day on the
stub. Grading is about finished on
the Alexis line, and the track layers
will transfer their activities to that
line when they finish at Aledo.

Willow PluIrleS

Every plume possesses the merits you
require. Only feathers Of the male
ostrich are used in our plumes. Why?
Because they are longer and stronger,
the fues are heavier, much more lus-
trous, and they wear twice as long
as the feathers Of the female bird.

You buy plumes for service. Your purchase
is an investment because you expect to wear
them several years. So you must have fiues
that will not break in the wind, dyed with
dyes that will not fade, and your plumes must
be hand curled so they may be cleaned and
recurled each season. In buying plumes,
therefore,, you require quality.
