May Go Back to Old order.-As Is
known, there are in existence several
grand lodges known as the Owls, and
the local organization is affiliated with
that which is known as the American
Order of Owls, which order is the re-
suit OF a secession two years ago from
the Order of Owls 1t is alleged that
the American Order of Owls is not on
good basis just now, and already the
Order or Owls has secured an tnjunc-
ton against the American order, re-
straining it from using the name Of
owls" The proposition was discuss
ed by the local members at a meeting.
but no definite decision was made, al
though great many of the members
seem willing to make the change. The
proposition will probably be voted on
at the next meeting of the year. The
press of the country has been full OF
the fraternity fight between these or
ganizations known as the Owls for the
past two years.
Entertainment to Raise Club Funds
ACCESSIBILITY of giving minstrel per-
Torrance under the auspices of the
Moline club. in which only Moline club
talent shall appear, is being given SER
ious consideration, and definite deeis-
ion may be reached at the next meet
ing of the board of directors. The
plan favored is to stage the perform
ance in the Moline or the Barrymore
theatre in order that attendance may
not be limited to the club member
ship. The club recently purchased
property on Eighth avenue, between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, as
site on which to eventually erect
club house. In order to negotiate this
realty deal an Indebtedness of $11 200
was incurred. At the last meeting of
the board $3.50 was paid on notes COW
ering this realty purchase. The plan
would be to make the minstrel perform
ance a booster event, all money re-
allied from the entertainment to be
applied on the property debt.
Soon to Begin on New Road.-Bids
for excavating and grading work nee
essary for opening of the Rural road

ect. These bids will be opened Sat
urday, Oct. 1. at public meeting, that
those who subscribed the $4,000 for
construction of the proposed macadam
may know their money is be-
ing properly expended. The grading
and excavating contracts will be award
ed in two sections, one job to take in
a stretch of road about two and one
quarter miles long, all in Coal Valley
township. The second section will
take in all of the road which will lie
in Rural township, the stretch being
about one and one-half miles in length.
If proper figures are submitted, con-
tracts will be awarded Immediately
the opening of bids, desire
of the committee being to have this
road open to traffic before snow flies.
The work of laying macadam will not
be possible until next spring, but the
