TRAFFIC COP TO Be
ASSIGNED TO DUTY
ONSECOND AVENUE
Commissioner Archie Hart Tires
of Persuasion Will Now En-
force Ordinances.
ALL ABUSES MUST CEASE
Regulation ard Respect for the Law
to Be Required All Over the
City.

Rock Island is to have traffic police
man on Second avenue. His beat will
be between Nineteenth and Seven
teentn AID he will also cross over to
Twentieth once in while to see that
things are running properly at the
Third and Fourth avenue crossings.
The traffic policeman will have charge
of the regulation of all manner of
traffic in the business district as is
done in Moline and in Davenport. He
will regulate speed, and the general
uses of the streets.
In the meantime all the regular
policemen will have orders to detain,
and if necessary arrest violators OF
the city ordinances. Commissioner
Hart has reached the conclusion that
the utter disregard for the ordinances
OF Rock Island has gone far enough.
He will tolerate it no longer. Il have
tried pursuasion," said Commissioner
Hart in conversation with an Argus
representative, land | have issued re-
peated warnings, and all to no effect.
Now l am going ahead with enforce
ment and arrests If necessary, but l
do not want to resort to the latter
alternative unless it is absolutely nee
essary.
ALL CITIZENS HAVE RIGHTS.
THE man who does not own an
automobile or a motorcycle has as
much right to the streets as his more
fortunate aeighbor. The same is true
of the buggy or carriage driver. Speed
ing must come to an end all over the
city All the policemen will be in
structed to this effect. On Second
| avenue and all over the business dis
trict there will be strict regulation.
: The traffic policeman will not patrol
the sidewalk. His beat will be in the
middle of the street and at the street
crossings And this is going to he no
/ experiment Ii is not merely for the
purpose of getting traffic regulated
and then Withdrawing The traffic
/ policeman is to be a permanent &C
/ QUESTION, which l would have intro
duced long ago had finances permitted
/ In another year l hope to put traffic
/ policeman on Twentieth street.
EXPERIENCE OF NEIGHBORS.
THE experience of Moline and Dav
export has taught that the only way
to control the use of the business
streets is to have a policeman espe
cially assigned TO look after it.
DRIVERS of automobiles and of al
manner of vehicles and motorcycle rid
ers will be compelled to respect the
ordinance requirements in every par
ticular Running up into crowds anC
cutting through crowds entering Oh
leaving street cars at the crossings
will be no longer tolerated. Vehicles
will rot be permitted to cut AROUND
corners or run up to the curb facing
the wrong way. Speeding everywhere
in the city will be stopped. Thes'
things are not allowed in Davenport o.
Moline. Why should We permit i
here?
MAY HAVE MOTORCYCLE, TOO.
1T may be necessary to install ;
motorcycle cop on some of the street
in addition TO the traffic policeman
but | am determined to have a bette
order of things. AS / have said, d.
not desire to resort to arrests, but vii
not hesitate if violations of the ord
nances continue

THE APPEARANCE
 OF THE FARM

1lle farmer who Is farm owner should take as much in- terest in how his farm and prem. lses look as the farm wife takes pride in her dress and personal appearance. It does not cost anything to keep the farm
 dressed up" and looking well. The premises can be made to look neat and tidy and well-kept, and reflect credit upon the own. CT, without additional expense or trouble.
 do not mean that it does not cost anything, either in money or effort, to keep the farm looking neat and trim and in order, but I do mean that it will not cost as much as it will pay. It pays to keep the barn and buildings in good repair. It is an absolute loss to neglect them. It pays to keep the gates and hinges in order and the fences in good repair. They look better and protect the crops. You know the crops and the loose stock can't both do we'll in the field together. It is better for both of them to be separated.
 It costs something to keep weeds, briers and bushes cut down along the turn rows, but it will pay to do it. Sow some good grass along the ditches, after leveling the ground, and then keep it cut down for hay. The hay crop can be harvested at a small cost, and it will pay well for the trouble and the ditch will be kept in good order at a profit. Treat the turn rows and road sides in the same way or blow up the waste space when the crop is "laid by," and plant in peas. It is, perhaps, best to break, harrow and plant turn rows.to peas just lafter the last blowing. The turn rows will make lots of peas and hay. When YOU find the fence rows growing up, it is a good idea to run a couple or three furrows alongside and turn the grass and weeds under. Keep the space clean.
 When you are through culti- vating the crop, plant the fence rows to peas. You can gather the peas or cut the vines for hay The outlay of labor is less in the long run than to let these waste spots grow up, and wait until the late summer to clean them off. And the crop yield will more than pay for the trouble. Then, too, your farm will look neat and tidy and we'll kept, and the prem ises will look like a thrifty far mer lives there. and you will be referred to and talked about as good farmer.
 And just think, you will get the extra hay and peas and the reputation, and save money be- sides JOHN H. PAGE,

SWIMMING TANK
IN CITY PARK
STARTED ALREADY TO
PROVIDE SUCH A PLEASURE
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
Meeting Held Yesterday and Com
mittees Named to Canvas the Sit
uatiOn Among Business Men.

About fifty boys of the city met yes
terday afternoon with Mrs. Warren
Truitt in the city park to talk over
the matter of constructing a
swimming pool in the park. There
has been a movement on foot among
the boys for some time for the con-
, struction of pool and they decided
at yesterdays meeting to agitate the
movement still further, first among
themselves and then among the busi-
ness men of the city
For convenience they divided the
city into districts and for each dis
trict four boys were appointed to So
licit subscriptions from all boys who
are interested in the matter. After
all the funds that can be raised in
this manner have been collected the
business men will be asked to con-
tribute.
In order that an estimate of the
cost of the pool may be had the en-
gineering department at the universi-
ty will prepare plans and specifica-
tions for the boys and thus give them
basis on which to work. 1t is not
probable, however, that the consIruc,
ton of the pool can be commenced be-
fore next spring, but the boys hope
to have enough money on hand by that
time to insure the success of their
venture.
A second meeting of the boys will be
held in the park next Monday when
further arrangements for the soicita
tion of funds and other matters will be
considered.

Mr.. Huston has been, with othei
members of the state board, at Priest

of the lieu land selections involving
sections 16 and sc on forest reserves

would be protected in Idaho, in fact
Mr.. Huston declared no injustice will

New Political Star.
Mr.. Huston is one of the newest of
Idaho's political stars. He was dis
covered" by friends in Idaho Falls and
placed in the primary campaign
against Axel P. Ramstedt. then res
ident of Latah county He defeated
Mr. Ramstedt, though he admitted af-
forwards that he knew he had been
up against a popular opponent. Mr..
Huston is mild hammered and makes
friends easily. He made a fortune in
real estate in Bonneville county and
only allowed himself to get into pol
itics because his friends forced him.
He will likely cut some large figure in
Idaho republican political circles in
the future.
Mr.. Huston was accompanied here
by his family today. Mrs. Huston and
her children have been on the coast
for a visit. They came to Moscow
today to visit the city and look over

were the guests of Dr. Carlyle. Mrs.
Huston has a cousin, John Scott, who

ment at the university. They returned
to Spokane this afternoon and tonight
will leave for Boise.

According to press dispatches the
United States government is prepared
to uphold the dignity and honor Of the
nation in case of war with Mexico at
a moments notice. Reports Of the sit
uati0n in Mexico City indicates there
is a decidedly anti-American feeling.
Huerta is trying to bluff the United
States into recognizing his govern
ment. The administration is proceed
ing cautiously and without prejudice.
War is an expensive thing. The ad-
ministratiOn is aware Of it.
The United States is in honor and
duty bound, through the Monroe Doc
trine, to act as sort OF prOtectOrate
or mediator in Central American
countries and gently the administra-
tiOn has been endeavOring to treat
with Huerta on friendly basis.
1t seems apparant that Mexicans
are laboring under delusiOn that
nOn-recOgnitiOn of the Huerta gov
ernment by United States is an indica-
ton of unfriendIiness. Intoxicated
with sudden spasm of patriotism and
a chance to turn attention away from
it's more serious internal rebellion, the
Mexicans are already gathering their
frijOles, tObascO and other weapons in
readiness to advance on the United
States. The war would be farcical.
1t Is believed the situation is critical
but not serious. Probably the next 4S
hours will determine the true attitude
OF Mexico toward the United States.
Armed Intervention will surely occur

MOSCOW BOY
IS HoNORED
AWARDED FELLOWSHIP DEGREE
IN BACTERIOLOGY IN IOWA
COLLEGE.
Selected from Among Dozens of Appli
cants, He VIII Go to AmeS,
Iowa September l.

Clyde Cornwall, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
received notification yesterday of his
appointment to a fellowship in bacter-
iology at the Iowa State Agricultural
college at Apes, Iowa. This institu-
ton is one of the greatest agricultural
schools in the United States and its
department of bacteriology especially
has far famed reputation. The head
of this department, Professor r. E.
Buchanan is known all over the
country both east and west as one of
the strongest authorities in his line
to be found anywhere. The Iowa State
college claims regular enrolment of
$500 students, and an appointment
such as Mr.. Cornwall has just received
is indeed something of which he may
well be proud.
There were dozens of applicants for
the fellowship in bacteriology and it
was not until after a thorough inves-
tigation had been made that it was
awarded to Mr.. Cornwall. He was
highly recommended by Professor j.
F. Nicholson of the department of bac-
teriology at the University of Idaho
under whom he has taken much work
during his course at Idaho.
Mr.. Cornwall received a degree as
bachelor of science at the varsity in
June and will continue his scientific
studies at Ames. He will take work
leading to a masters degree, ten
months work being required before
such a degree can be secured from
that institution. He will leave for
Ames about the first of September.
