INTEREST IN CITY

close of the city beautiful contest con-
Quoted by the Civic department of
The Woman's club of Rock Island con-
testants are hurrying to eILer their
names for one of the many prizes Of
fered. The surprise of the race is the
fact that the First ward had far out
di0tanced the other wards in the num-
Der of contestants entered. The Third
ward still holds second place and is
working faithfully to regain the lead
which it held the fore part of the
week The First ward is one of The
smaller wards and the entire work
of stimulating interest has been done
by the ward chairman and but one
assistant and too much credit cannot
be given the workers for their inter
est in the identifying of the city. The
western portion of the city, owing to
its location, has been sadly neglected
in the past and the fact that the ward
now leads in the contest to make the
city a garden spot shows that a
healthy interest has been aroused to
make the best of an unfavorable To-
cation. The contest closes June IA
and those who contemplate entering
and have not yet done so are urged
to ct once fill out the banks provided
for that purpose and send them as
soon as possible TO the ward chairman,
that their MINES may ne properly
