The combination school means de-

Davidson, appearing before the District
subcommittee OF the House Apphopria-

The whole tendency n. the present
time is in that combination school di-

of our common democracy that the boy

studies should be educated side by side
with the boy or girl whose taste runs
in the direction of manual skill And.
then, too, such combination schools
make for better and q more complete
course of study for the children of all

'It is, of course, true that in the last
decade or two many manual training

built. Undoubtedly some OF them do
purely vocational work along the line

charges the report, have no facilities
for the proper care and preservation of
tho Government property intrusted to
the care of the State with view OF
eduipping and arming the militia so as
to make them efficient war units. The
great and unnecessary loss of this prop
erty, which has occurred in q number of
States, is in great measure chargeable
TO failure to make adequate provision
IN armorieS for its safe keeping.
The unserviceable conditions OF many
lrearIns, both rifles and revolvers, is
considered the most serious defect.
great numbers OF firearms have been
reported unserviceable, and the Govern
ment has expended no inconsiderable
sum OF money TO repair arms which
have become so from lack of care"
Regarding the shortage in the number
or men in the various militia orSani
zatioGs, the report shows that of the
required minimum strength of 64,SC8 for

be relied on TO respond to the call in

The report calls attention to the

That Cosie Topice, the Mexican

appearance here. East Moline officials
Tuesday night arrested a Mexican
whom they believed was the wanted
man, but it developed that they had
the wrong Mexican. A Galesburg pa
per gave the following account of the
East Moline arrest:
considerable commotion was Gre
ated last night around the police
and sheriff's Office when Glenn Coax
ley, chief of police of East Moline,
wired to the sheriff that Cosie Top
ice,t Mexican, charged with the at
murder of Chief of Police
Human, had been arrested there,
after a terrific struggle. This effort
to bring the right man to justice has
evidently proved another bum steer

showed wisdom in waiting until day

definite, was evident when
further scrutiny of the Mexican
prisoner at East Moline revealed he
fact that he was two inches shy OF

the suspect is the wrong man. In |
all other respects this Mexican re- |

MARRIED MEN IN A VICTORY
East Moline Business Men in Contest
at Baseball Park.

The East Moline baseball park was
the scene yesterday afternoon of an
interesting contest between the mar.
ried man and the single men, the for
mr. capturing honors in a holly con-
tested battle by the score of 10 to 6,
before one OF the largest crowds OF the
season. 1t was the first meeting of
the three game series planned for this
summer TO decide the supremacy OF
the two teams, the other two contests
TO be staged dlring the next two
months.
The wildness of Pitcher Wilde, who
lived up to his name by walking some
thing like dozen men, and numerous
bonehead plays by the single men are
responsible for the teams defeat.
Another contest between these two
teams, the players of which are all
business men OF the city. will be
played next Thursday to enliven the
Booster day planned for East Moline
on that date.

HOW ABOUT THAT
MOLINE SLOGAN?
Many Inquiries Being Made as
to Why Definite Action
Is Not Taken.
How about that Moline slogan?

This is question which is daily be
ing asked by large number of Plow
City residents. They wonder why the
Greater Moline committee does not
take definite action ard select an ap-
propriate slogan of the 500 submitted
to the contest. Most of those who are
asking have submitted entries to the
contest.
The answer to the question is that
not one of those submitted was con-
sidered good enough and for that rea-
son the slogan committee of the Great
er Moline committee refused to recon-
mend one. 1t is therefore probab bic
that if Moline is to have a slogan
another contest will have to be held.
