BIDS FOR PLANT
Referee in Bankruptcy Decides
Mails Property Worth
More Than $500.

There Will be no sale of the prop
erty of the Mail Publishing company
now in the hands of a trustee at the
prices so far offered. Referee in
Bankruptcy Z. U. Henry of Peoria de-
cided this much today. While here he
will pass upon some legal points con-
nected with claims against the firm.
Bids on the property, which includes
press, linotypes and full newspaper
equipment, have been received twice
and the total received. covering every
thing. was but $500. There are $780,
600 in claims outstanding.
Mr.. Henry holds that the figures
offered are ridiculously low and that
better terms will be assured by wait
ing. At the same time the property
is not perishable and the interests of
the creditors are not jeopardized in
any manner by the delay he proposes.

DON'T KNOW THEIR
HOMES NUMBERS
Changes in Street Names Still
Resulting in Considerable
Confusion.
ADDRESSES OFTEN MIXED
Letter Carriers Facing Trouble AZ N.
Beginning Of the Holiday Rush
Season.

Much complaint is being made nv
letter carriers, del1verymen for s,ore.
and even the policemen and fremen
of the failure of many people to "a
number their houses to conform IN
the remaining of certain streets in the
city, which was done several months
ago. Though there has been plenty NJ
time to make the change some have
been slow in doing so and great con.
fusion occasionally results.
A peculiar feature in this connec.
ton is the failure of the residents
whose numbers have been or should
have been changed to always remer1.
Der what the present numbers on
their homes are. In giving directions
for delivery of goods or in telephone
calls to the police or fremen they
sometimes give the old number in
stead of the new one and of course
this necessitates an extra trip. Letter
carriers find much trouble in deliver
ing parcels, the addresses in some
cases being the old ones and in others
the new ones. This is a rather serious
matter in the rush season at the Holt
days.
Urge Attention to Matter.
So far no critical situations have
arisen as a result of the failure OF
residents to change their numbers OF
to remember the fact if they have
done so. There is a momentary posi-
bility, however, that such an instance
shall occur and the people are urged
to get the matter Strengthened out as
quickly as possible for the benefit OF
all concerned.

Systematically.
CONSIDERED IN COMMITTEE
Special Class for the Training of SUM-
day School Teachers Is Also
Proposed.

The call having gone out for more
efficient Sunday school teachers it is
proposed to bring special training
within the reach of the instructors in
Moline. To this END a special class
probably will be formed to meet week
ly from Jan 1 to June 1 next under the
direction of Rev. L. F. Havermale, pas
tor of the Methodist church of East
Moline.
Plans for the organizing of such a
class were laid at a meeting last eve
ming of a special committee named for
the purpose. Rev. Percy c. Ladd, pas
tor of the First Congregational church,
as chairman of the committee, out
lined the need of training and urged
the Importance of making some effec-
tive provision for the instruction of
teachers. Other members of the COM
mittee at the meeting included c. H.
Maxson, superintendent of schools; E.
P Nutting, principal of the high
school; r. B. Lourie, A. R. James,
Mrs. George Huntoon and Mrs. NJ. R.
Metzgar.
The plan proposed VIII be put up to
a meeting of observation-disclosures of
the Sunday school to be held probably
Friday evening of this week. The sup
will be expected to ascer-
tain the sentiment of the teachers
under them and gain some idea of the
probable enrolment in the proposed
class.
Credit for Bible Study.
Giving of credits for study of the
bible in the city schools was discussed
at the meeting of the committee. 1t

Saloon License Drops In Price in Chicago

Along with the slump in brewery stocks comes
also a slump in the price of saloon licenses in the city
of Chicago.
The face value of a license in that city is 1000.
An ordinance limiting the number of licenses has had
the effect of giving the license an inflated value.
There are 7,I52 licenses issued by the city. The aver
age price of these has been $4,000 each, which simply
means that Chicago is selling them for 40 per cent
of the market price.
According to a news item, the present average
market value of a license, however, is only ST 600.
The decline in price has been caused by the prospect
OF adverse temperance legislation both state and ma
tiona1 and by slack trade.

Editor Halle Objects

In the Champion of Fair Play, official wet organ
of Illinois, Editor Halle devotes four columns of the
issue of October "a, protesting against the $4,000
appropriation made by Congress for the entertain
ment of the delegates to the Anti-Alcoholic Congress
to be held in this country in 1915:
Mr.. Halle says:
Expenses for entertaining delegates to the
other international congresses average $40 each
but Congress gives $Ioo per head for the Anti
Saloon League to entertain their friends on grape
juice, but when the nation runs short Of money,
beer is made to pay the freight.
All, there is the rub! Imagine a banquet without
booze! Think of spending real money for grape juice
to entertain guests of the nation when tax on beer is
the only thing that keeps Our country from bank
ruptcy!

Milk VS.. Beer

1t begins to look like the milk bottle was going
to supplant the beer bottle in the affections of the
man who works in the big mills of Our country.
1t will not be necessary for the ~dairyman to carry
on a campaign of advertising to prove that milk has
food value.
The South Chicago branch of the Illinois Steel
Company, employing 10000 men, has started a cam
paign to encourage the use of milk instead of liquor
by their employees.
E. K. Prichett, representing a manufacturing con-
Germ of Grand Rapids, Michigan, asserted before the
National Council of Industrial Safety that after its
employees had been forbidden to use alcoholic bev-
erages, arrangements were made for the milk wagon
to call at the factory at a certain hour every morning.
then permitted men to stop work and go
out and buy a fresh bottle of milk" said Mr.. Prichett.
I'VE find this arrangement has virtually solved the
drinking problem"
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-11-06

November 8, 1914, will be a day long remembered
in the history of temperance warfare in this country.
There probably never has been an election day when
the liquor interests have more at stake, They are on
the defensive, fighting for their very existence against
statewide Prohibition in six states. The cause Of
temperance has nothing to lose in any of these states
with the possible exception of Ohio where the brew
es have submitted a proposition calling for the re-
peal of County Local Option and even in this state
the temperance forces have refused to fight on the
defensive, but have compelled the brewers to defend
themselves against a statewide Prohibition amend
r1ent. In many other states the struggle at the polls
will be between wet and dry legislative candidates
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-11-06

National Prohibition is strong in the minds of the
voters at this election. The Prohibition amendment
to the constitution of the United States has become
an issue and nobody is any more keenly aware of the
fact than are the present candidates for Congress. The
brewers and distillers realize that the adoption of this
amendment by Congress means the end of their bust
ness, consequently, they are working desperately for
the election of men to Congress pledged against the
amendment. No matter what the results at the polls
may be November 3; all in all, there has never been an
election day that has caused the liquor interests more
concern or given the temperance forces greater en-
couragement.

with the drys on the offensive. The chances for repeal
of dry legislation in the various states are very remote
but on the other hand the outlook is splendid for ad-
vance temperance Legislation.

This paper goes to press before the results of the
election of November third are known. Next weeks
Issue will give a full report of the battle at the polls.
Whatever the outcome of that battle may be the fight
for County Local Option and all legislation sought by
the Anti-Saloon League will continue. County Local
Option will be an issue until it becomes a law.

Antwerp, Aug. 29.--With the Ger
man troops only a few miles from
Brussels and threatening its capture
hourly, Maurice Maeterlinck, the poet,
known as the Belgian Shakespeare, y
volunteered to take his stand with his
fellow countrymen on the field of bat
tie. There was some protest against
the governments accepting the poets
offer. There is no man of whom Bel
GUM is more proud and to permit
such q man to risk his life on the
battlefield seemed to most Belgians
of the literary world complete in
difference to his art.
