BIDS FOR CONVENTION.
LaSalle and Peru, the twin cities,
are making strong bid for next
years convention and the delegation
from that vicinity is confident that
IL will land the meet. The Western
Clock Manufacturing company, max
ers of the big Ben" is located at
LaSalle, and has gotten out badges
bearing the inscription 'Peru-La-
Sale, 1913" There is some doubt
in the minds of many of the jewelers.
IS TO whether LaSalle and Peru will
be successful in their attempt TO
land" the next convention, the claim
being advanced that the meeting next
year should 20 down state. The for
mer conventions have been held in
Chicago. Peoria, Springfield and
Rockford and with the meet this wear
in Rock Island, it will be seen that
the conventions have been confined
TO the northern part of the state.

COUNTY PICNIC is
POSTPONED YEAR
Executive Committee of Sunday
School Association So De-
cides Last Night.
TOWNSHIP INSTITUTES
Will Prove Good Substitutes for An
nual Gathering and Prove Less
Work and Better Results.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Rock Island County
Sunday School association held at the
Y. NJ. G. A. last evening it was voted
to hold no county picnic this year.
For the last three years all the Sun
day schools of the county have united
in holding a picnic either in Rock Is
land or Moline and the gatherings
have proven most enjoyable and bene-
fetal and have been largely attended.
The preparations for the picnic have
entailed great amount of work on
the part of the various committees
and for this reason it was thought
best by the members of the executive
committee that the officers, upon
whom the brunt of the work falls, be
relieved for year. Numbers of the
county Sunday schools also hold pic
mics aside from the county gathering
and they deem the preparation for
both too much for the schools.
HOLD TOWNSHIP INSTITUTES.
1t is planned, however, to make an
effort to hold Sunday school insti-
tutes in each of the townships of the
county. Heretofore institutes have
been held in central localities and
townships have united in supporting
them. The committee thinks the
township institutes will be most bene-
fetal and will take the place of the
county picnic in satisfactory way.
The regular county Sunday school
convention will be held as usual in
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1912-05-21
ARMSTRONG CASE is
MUCH TANGLED ONE

The trial of Tom Armstrong, indict-
ed for working a confidence game, be-
gan in the circuit court this morning
at which time jury was secured. This
afternoon the taking of testimony be-
gan, The case Is a much tangled one.
The charge grew out of the passing of
an alleged forged check by Armstrong.
The name of Edwin Johnson, a Cordo-
va grocer for whom Armstrong worked,
was signed to the check. The defense
is that the check was made out by
Mrs. Johnson.

Appended Provision in Bids for Hose
Puts Quietus on Thought of
"Wining and Dining"

Plans for the housing of the contem.
plated city market within the walls
of the Rock Island roller rink effer-
vesced into thin air yesterday after
noon when Commissioner Archie
Harris resolution for an open air curb
market on Sixteenth street south of
Third avenue passed the municipal
commission by unanimous vote The
new action was taken largely because
of the fact that lessees Of the rink
failed to take up the city's offer for
a suitcase on the rink in definite
form, and the commission felt that
further delay would only injure the
plans for the market. Further, the fact
that Dubuque, Iowa, has a flourishing
market of so years standing, housed
in the open air, gave incentive to the
vote of the commissioners and led
them to sanction the changing of orig.
inal plans.
SELL FROM WAGONS.
Now, the proposition is to have no
shelter for these who peddle their
wares through the intermediary of a
market. Wagons of vendors of pro-
duce will be backed against the curb
and produce will be delivered direct
~ from them without all the bother
of unloading The market will see to
the proper location of the wagons.
AS soon as the weights and measures
standards are received-and they are
due in a short time-definite plans for
/ the opening of the market will be start
I ed. The market master will oversee
/ the market upon the days when it is
open and upon other days his duties
will be taken up for the inspection of
weights and measures. AS time pro-
/ crosses, it is thought that a portion of
the city hall building will be utilized

The appropriation ordinance was
amended yesterday afternoon at the
18th hour when Commissioner Hart
asked that $500 be switched from the
health department to the police depart
ment, lowering one amount TO 5000
and raising the other to $4,000. The
request was granted, the ordinance
was reread and will await final action
till next week. The commissioner
stated that with a plan for economy in
the health department, brought about
through the new method of distribution
Of garbage, it is possible for the health
department to get along with less
money, while the $500 will go a far
way toward the purchase of an auto
patrol for the police department.
WANT STREET GRADED.
A petition, signed by % property
owners and members of the board of
education, calling for the grading of
Twenty-siXth street from Thirteenth
to Eighteenth avenue, was presented
to the council through Commissioner
NJ. T. Rudgren, and a resolution by
Commissioner r. r. Reynolds, instruct
ing the city engineer to prepare an es-
innate of cost of bringing the thor
Oughfare to grade, was adopted. c. l..
Ritchey appeared for the property
owners. The street car company is
planning to use dirt from Twenty
sixth street for the filling of Thir-
teenth avenue. The property owners
want the company to use dirt from
some other locality and let the dirt
there for the grading of Twenty-sixth
street. A new school is TO go up in
the neighborhood, and unless the street
| is brought to grade, sidewalks leading
to the school will be out of the ques-
| ton.
PROTEST AGAINST SALOON.
A protest, signed by AZ property
owners, against the licensing of a sa-
| loon at Thirty-first street and Fifth
| avenue, was read and placed on file.
City Attorney James F. Witter was
instructed to prepare a building ordi-
nance for presentation to the commits
sion at its next meeting. The need of
such an ordinance, say commissioners,
| is imperative. 1t is the intention to
have the buildings built upon a better
scale and under the supervision of a
| city inspector.

Pride and Humility.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

Pride" says La Rochefoucald. trans
forms itself in a thousand different ways.
but it is never better disguised and more
! capable Of deceiving than when 1t con-
ceals itself under the garb OF humility
And Massillon says: Pride conceals
itself only to be discovered. runs away
from praise only that it may be fol-
lowed, disclaims compliments only TO
gain them, scorns itself only a bid
for praise Pride has a thousand COM
pensations imperceptible to ourselves. and
nothing is rarer than humility for its
own sake
To which may be added the biting skit
OF Southey:
And the devil was pleased. for his darling sin
Is the pride that apes humility.
And Wordsworth:
And inward selfdisparagcment affords
To meditatiye spleen a grateful feast.
Humility is a virtue one does not hear
much of these days. Yet it is the noblest
of virtues. In the little churchyard of
Ecclefechan, in Scotland. is the grave or
Thomas Carlyle. and on his tombstone
Is engraved, beside his name. just one
word, 'Humilitate." And Carlyle was
clear-headed and deep-hearted old man.
which he shows by choosing the name
Of this rarest OF virtues to grace his
Now. humility fs simply thinking. tell
ing and acting the truth about ourselves.
Humility is truth translated into a per
sonal quality.
Humility saves one from a thousand
sings and arrows that wound the vain.
Genuinely humble people take no Of
Tense. 1t is the false and proud who
are thin skinned. Because a humble
man knows the truth about himself your
slight or insult does not AFFECT him.
What people think Of us has usually
little truth in II. And a man of sterling
humility is wise enough not to bother
about what they say"
Montague relates that "Archelaus.
King Of Macedon, was walking along the
street and somebody threw water on his
head, which they who were with him
said he ought to punish. 'Ay, but said
he whoever it was. he did not throw
the water upon me. but upon him whom

The eastern sky was already gray, and

much more than the existence Of the land
