council will purchase two pulmotors
for the use of the police and fire de-
partments in the very near future. AL
derman William Brehmer stated that
he expected to recommend such action
at the next council session. He has
broached the matter to several of the
aldermen, and thus far everyone of
them has advocated the purchase.
Davenport Artists In Poster Contest.
Charles N. Webb of Davenport is
one of several Iowa artists entered in
the poster contest of the Greater Iowa
association to receive honorable men
ton for his work. The contest was
won by w. C. Blake of Des Moines,
whose design was selected from
among a large number submitted by
Iowa artists as most clearly and strik-
ingly expressing the idea desired to
be conveyed when the Greater Iowa
week movement was set on foot. The
design is now in the hands of an en-
graver and thousands of posters will
soon be printed and distributed
throughout the state. 1t is probable
that Mr.. Webb's design will be used
by the association as a cover for its
Greater Iowa magazine, which it is
planned to issue in the near future.
