number of the men were on the bust
ness booster trip last week and they
visited Monmouth high school. They
found it to be one of the best in the
state and were impressed with its ade-
quate appointments.
EQUIPPED WITH TRADES.
1t can readily be seen that the ex-
tension of courses will mean much to
students. for as well as giving them
an opportunity TO learn languages and
sciences and mathematics, it will fit
them for a trade which can readily be
used by large numbers. Another item
which is worth more than passing no
tee is that of physical upbuilding. A
plan to inaugurate a physical depart
ment in the high school course is now
under consideration by the board A
new building would afford ample room
for the conduct of the work. An instruc-
tor who would aid in the physical de-
velopment of the weak student as well
as the strong, would be added to the
faculty.

HAWLEY MAY YET
GET THE RECORD
New Map of Canada Indicates
Worlds Balloon Mark Was
Broken Last Year.

New York, May 16.-The recent
completion of new official map of
Canada may result in worlds rec
ord being credited to Alan R. Haw-
ley, winner of the international bal
loon race of 1910. The record is at
present held by Count De La Vaulx,
who covered 1,192 miles 10 years
ago. Hawleys trip was logged by
the Aero club as 1,172 miles. Now
according TO advices from Montreal,
the new map shows Hawley travelled
1907 miles The club will send rep.
resentatives to ascertain the exact
landing place and confirm the new
figures if possible.

SOLICITING FOR A
BLEACHER FUND
Committee Starts Campaign for
Money to Rebuild Burned
Stand at Ball Park.

The committee on subscriptions for
fund to replace the seating accom-
modations at the Island City ball park
destroyed by fire, started on its mis-
sion this morning. While it was cheer
fully received and met with liberal re-
sponses in many instances where least
expected, there were some disappoint-
ments. The committee, however, is
not discouraged, and expects to finish
its work in few days.
So highly gratified, in fact, were the
members with some of the subscrip-
tions that it was decided when the
work is completed to publish the list
of donors to the amount of So and

new HIGH SCHOOL
IN CITY FAVORED
Business Men Suggest That
Present Building Be Used
for Manual Training.
HAVE OPTIONS ON SITES
Growth of Glasses Makes 1t Neces-
ssry That Additional Room Be
Provided at Once.

To erect a new high school building
for the general courses of study and
20 convert the present high school
into a manual arts building was the
sense OF the discussion of the project
by the Rock Island Business Mems
association last night. The proposition,
which has been under consideration for
some time by the board of education,
is 10 build a new school for the extern
sion of the course in manual training
and domestic science. In accordance
with this plan, two sites have been
suggested and options taken on them.
They are both in the vicinity Of the
high school. The plan of the board is
re use the present building for the
general course and to erect the manual
arts building for the extension of the
special courses.
The business mems association IA
vors the use of the present building
for the use of the manual training and
domestic science, as well as depart
ments of music and drawing and other
arts, for within a few years. If the
present rate of growth continues, the
school will again be crowded and other
provision will necessarily be made.
ACCOMMODATIONS INADEQUATE.
Fhe high school building was built
in 1902 after the destruction by fire of
the old, overcrowded building. At that
time it was large enough to accommo-
date handily all parts of the work. To-
day it barely affords enough room for
tht conduct of class work. There are
$50 pupils at the school. The gradua-
ting class this year numbers less than
forty. The freshmen class next year
will be at least 100 more than that
number. Allowing for all decreases in
ethe student body. there will be more
than 600 enrolled next year. It will be
impossible to accommodate all of them
in the present course of instruction.
The business mems association last
night adopted a resolution in favor Of
the extension of the course in manual
arts. The resolution suggests a new
high school in another location. A

1914.
CHANCES BELIEVED GOOD
Team of &c Foresters VIII Be En-
pIoyed in Promoting Campaign
at Buffalo.

At the current months session of
the Modern Woodmen board OF direc-
tors, the bills covering expense of
holding all state. territorial and pro
vincial camp meetings will be allow
ed. The bylaws of the society pro-
vide that delegates to all such meet
ings shall be paid a per diem of SIS
and the actual mileage expense. Re
ports from all state camp meetings
are now in hand, accompanied by
signed records proving attendance of
all delegates entitled to mileage and
per diem, and the allowance, in the
aggregate, will amount to $4,000.
The team of camp No. &c will at
tend the foresters encampment at Buff
falo, as it has been decided that an
effort will be made to land the next
head camp meeting, converting in
June, 1914, for Rock Island. The
members of the team will be employed
largely in promoting this movement.
MANAGEMENT FAVORABLE.
Whether or not it will be successful
cannot be forecasted at this time with
any degree of certainty, but it is be-
lieved that the management of the
society will look with favor upon the
proposition, and if other strong
Woodmen centers in the jurisdiction
of the society are not organized and
do not put up strong fight for 1t.

and other nearby towns.
There are ugly rumors of tampering
with Rock Island players by another
club in a city not a thousand miles
away and one which, when looking for
a manager last year. is known TO have
done the same thing. 1t is unfortunate
that such reports should be af1oat, and
worse than unfortunate should there
be any foundation for them The Ar
gus is loath to believe them, but should
they prove true, however, it is likely
that the local club will take vigorous
steps to put stop TO the practice.

At High School

The members of the high school
basketball team were presented with
their emblems yesterday as a reward
for their participation in the required
number of games. The boys were Civ
en- only the letter, as the finances of
the association are in such condition
that it would be folly to so to the eX-
perse of buying sweaters for the boys,
although every one feels that they
earned them. Those to receive the
emblems were Frank Wilcher, Harry
Behnamann. Arno Tremann, Edwin
Mcintyre and Frank Hughes.
The bseball team was defeated s to
g at Maquoketa Saturday, Empke and
Clemann forming the battery for the
locals. The locals were ahead 3 to 1
till the last of the seventh, wheu
Empke weakened. The team will play
the Moline high school independents
at Moline Athletic park again this
evening.
The most exciting bah game of the
season will undoubtedly be on next
Friday. which is senior day, when the
seniors will cross bats with their
friends, the enemy, of the faculty. 1t
will be the third annuaH senior-facul-
ty game, the first one being won IS
the teachers and rain breaking up a
tie last year. The faculty is going
through some strenuous work with
the intention of humbling the arrogant
seniors and have enlisted Empke of
the high school regulars to do the
twirling. Nevertheless, the seniors
are by no means worried and are prac-
ticing to give the faculty the last bit
of trouble of their course.

were rather heavy, but declines were
moderate.
Wheat-Market opened at from one
eighth to one-fourth advance, chiefly
on account OF. the firmness of the
Liverpool market as compared with
weakness here the day before. 1t
subsequently lost most of its early
gain on account of still increasing ten
dency of stocks of wheat at Mime
apolis, notwithstanding diminishing re-
ceipts from interior.
Weather still favorable for market
ing corn, but farmers as a rule were
still indisposed to sell freely at pre-,
vailing prices.
There was a good demand a greater
part of the session till near the close
when selling was more urgently press
ed, and the market took on an easier
tone.
Demand was good for offerings in
the sample market at from yesterdays
prices to one-fourth higher.
There was very quiet start to the
oat market, but the irmer tone in
wheat and corn affected few shorts
and induced them to cover at a shade
better than the previous days final
figures.
Only a small business was done in
this market Taken altogether, the
only show of activity being near the
end when selling was urged with more
force than during the earlier part of
the day. Sales in the sample market
were at from Yesterdays prices to
one-fourth higher.
There was some selling of miscel-
laneous character in evidence. The
demand was. slow, but on the dip a
house with stockyards connections
bought lard and ribs.
