carry the whole vehicle through on
the supposition that it is but play.
The comedy is good-very good-ano

SCHOOL DAYS
BY James 4. CrOzier.

In days Of long ago, Old Friend.
When we were boys together;
And went to Mrs. Monckton's School,
In any kind of weather,
To learn to read, and learn to write,
And TO obey commands;
And often got little tap,
OF rulers on our hands.
It was her custom, then, you know,
To close the school with song;
And then her precious words to US
My boys, do nothing wrong;
BE kind. be true. and good TO ALL
AS through this life you go.
This is your teachers dearest wish,
] want you all to know.
Il seems to me that I can see
That dear old face today;
Though many years have come and
gone,
Since she was laid away.
I'm glad, my friends, though she is
gone.
That thoughts can linger yet;
To YOU and I, her words. ! know
Were some we can't forget
But years have gone. some sixty-nine,
And we have grown gray;
OF those who went to Monckions
School,
There's left but us today.
But let us live, Old Friend OF Mine,
Just right-tll called Wen 60
Where everlasting Spring abides,
And flowers ever grow.

TAVENNER'S PLAN
FOR ARMOR PLANT
Wants Investigation by Con-
gress of Advantages of Rock
Island Arsenal.
BY CLYDE II. TAVENNER.


Washington, Nov. 1i-Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels having started a
movement for a government armor
plant to cost s7,OOO.OOO and several
cities having entered the campaign to
have the proposed plant located within
their respective borders, | have intro
duced in congress a resolution requir-
ing that before purchasing any site for
the proposed plant careful investiga-
tiOn be made of the governments tract
of land at the Rock Island arsenal.
l believe that such an investigation
Will how that Rock Island has more
favorable advantages than any of the
sites so far proposed.
Why should the government -ay a
large sum for a site when it has 900
acres OF land ideally located for man
ufacturing purposes at Rock Island?
Some OF the advantages of Rock Is
land are:
/ Everlasting free water power,
the government owning its own
power plant in the Mississippi
river
> Its central location geograph-
ically. making il convenient TO ship
the finished product to either At
lantic or Pacific coast.
. It's location from . military
standpoint. Being well into the
interior of the country, il would
not be liable 10 the attack and
possible capture by an enemy in
time of war that a site on the At
Iantic coast would be subject 10.
I. There is great abundance of
excellent coal being mined almost
at the very door of Rock Island
and IL is at the same time not far
removed from the ore fields of the
north.
>. The government already own
ing 800 acres OF land al Rock
Island. several hundred thousand
dollars. which would be necessary
TO purchase a site elsewhere.
would be saved TO the govern
ment by the selection of Rock
Island.
8. The advantages of Rock Is
land as manufacturing center are
demonstrated by the fact that at
the Rock Island arsenal shops the
government is now manufacturing
field artillery vehicles and other
war supplies from 20 10 80 per cent
less than the government can OBJ
tain the same articles for from
private manufacturers.
