WILL NOT REMOVE
FROM THIS CITY

1.-The Central Union Telephone COM
pany is moving nothing away from
Rock Island said Commercial Chief
A. j. Beverlin this morning. The re-
port that the heads of two depart
ments would be taken away from here
is not justified by the facts. On the
contrary the force here has been in
creased by the addition of four new
clerks in various capacities. We have
moved the supplies and materials be-
longing TO the traffic and plant de-
partments to other exchanges but only
because of lack of room here. The
traffic and plant chiefs, both of whom
live in Rock Island, nominally have
their head Offices here though in fact
they must necessarily have an Office
in each of the cities of Rock Island
Moline and East Moline.
The company sees the enormous
possibilities in these cities and while
changes are being made, none of them
will result in Rock Island losing any
thing ii now possesses but will rather
result in adding to the present hold
ings."

Major Halves sent to The Argus Office

But there is a tradition among a
few early settlers of Hampton town

"and who, by the way, wildly recall
the pranks of his boyhood days; that
in the early 40's he drifted into their
peaceful settlement with his parents
from the Duck Creek regions of Scott
county, Iowa. He came to them with

Some Sink Sense

No place in the home gathers grease
as quickly as the kitchen sink. Gold
Dust washing powder, however, has the
peculiar quality of dissolving and cut
ting grease and if, after each dishwash-
ing, suds is made in the dishpan with
warm water and Gold Dust, and the sink
thoroughly rinsed with these suds, the
last particle of dirt and grease will be
removed. The sink pipe will never
become clogged with grease il Gold Dust
and plenty of hot water are used for
washing the sink morning and evening.
