ers' association assembled Saturday
evening in South Moline town hall and
raised a vehement protest against in

quests by Commissioner E. L. Eastman
to make certain Improvements in the
handling of milk that is sold to Moline
consumers. 1t was contended that the
state is the only power that had right
to make such an inspection outside the
corporate limits Of the city. A state in

mer, but the results did not satisfy

ordered a city inspection and made pub

branded as unfair by many of the men,
bers, who claim that Partially is al

1874 Bishop John II. Vincent, and a
great christian business man named
Lewis Miller. began the undertaking
CT having a Summer assembly, free
from distracting things. and devoted
to religion and education. They
secured location ON Chautauqua

Lake Erie only II miles away. Here
they adopted rules TO prevent dane
ing. card-playing. and Sunday excur-
sions. and arranged a program OF lee
lures. concerts and good amusements,
and later a summer school In which
people may study almost any branch.
Many thousands OF people come
here every year To stay through
part or all OF the assembly whicn
lasts 90 days. Chautauqua is para
disc for children. for old people, Tor
students. and for all who wish for u

state in the Union is represented.
and all the great men OF the nation
are here TO speak at one time or an

people. AS you enter the grounds

good out OF their stay at Chautau-

or fashionable attire, and reminded
them that when 80 many people are
each one has duty to be
helpful to all the rest.
