MORE SUNSHINE

Business is improving.
 Men are being hired.
 It isn't so hard as it was tC borrow money-on good Sc curity.
 Ever see an ice jam in the spring? At first it looks a: if it couldn't possibly bt budged. Even dynamite doe; not faze it. But, by and by the warm sun gets in its fine work; and then folks woIry lest the jam should move tct quickly and do as much dam age by going as by staying We don't say that the buSi ness problem is like an ice jam in every particular, but there are resemblanceS.
 What saves the down couI. try from being flooded by the spring thaw is that the mel by day is checked a little by tEe freeze by night. The de, rangement of the worlds big credit machinery, the conser- vativeness of bankers and the war uncertainties TOW guarantee us aga!QSr flood of speculation.
 But to keep things moving in the right direction and at a proper pace, we need more sunshine. It is a time for courage, confidence, optim- ism. Not splasheS, not Splur- ges, not yet pinch-penny eau tion, but manly gumption, grit and go-ahead. Still su- perior to war news as a topic of interest in the American home is where good values can be found in buying for home necessities at fair prices.
 We can't let eating and liv- ing lag until Europe moves for peace. The ordinary pro- ceSSeS must go on-they are going on but slightly affect ed, save as we have allowed ourselves to be scared before we are hurt.
 Now that this great nation is regaining it's wind and its poiSe, turn on more sunshine and give hope a shove.

WHO DOES YOUR
 THINKING?

What is it that sets man
 above the rest of the animal
 kingdom? Is it not the power
 to think? All through the
 history of the world there
 have been a few great think
 CTS, and there have been a
 great many who let some one
 else do their thinking for
 them. Which kind are you ? Do you think for yourself ?
 People who think for them selves are human beings liv-
 ing on a high plain; those who let others think for them are living in a rut, where prejudice, fogyism, supersti- ton, fanaticiSm and ignor- ance prevail. The world is full of people who travel in a rut and seem to like it, al- though it is close scrouging.
 The habit of thinking is not easy to acquire. It sure means that you must reason, use the faculties of your mind, about things you see and hear. It means cultivat-' ing an open mind. It means that you refuse to accept the ready-made thoughts of the others until you have analyz- ed them. Are you letting some one do your thinking for you? The next time you notice yourself saying: M think so-and-so," ask your self the question: Was that my thought or not?"
 We see all the time menE who think, controlling those who do not-in business, in | religion, in politics, in war, in everything the thoughtful man rules. Sometimes and particularly in politics, hel rules selfishly. Very often he uses the power he has to en-I rich himself at the expense| of those who do not use their reason. A hired agitator, in the pay of fanatics or extrem- iStS-whoSe narrow minds ob- iect to this, or that, or the other thing-plays upon the feelings of his hearers. The minimizing, after listening to 1iS tirade, exclaim: He's fight! l think there should De a law against it!" Do you :hink, or are you only reflect ng the suggestions of a nice, clever talker?
 The greatest snowman the world ever knew said:
 The American people like o be humbugged."

WHY DO THE TENANT
 FARMERS MOVE?

The past two months, as is usually the case in fall, has marked the sale of much farm property in the rural commit mites of the state and the moving of farmers from one farm to another. This fre- quency- of moving, or insta- bility of occupancy, very like ly is one of the chief causes for the decline of rural pros perity, or is a hindrance to greater progress.
 Frequency of removal of farmers is one of the greater causes why tine roads and the bridges are generally in a poor condition, because the farmers, moving at frequent periods are not particularly interested in their upkeep. Farm buildings of such farms are not usually kept in good repair, as the man who is about to move will leave the repairs for the next tenant to make. The same reasons ap- ply for lack of interest by the unstable farmer in the rural schools, churches, and gener- al welfare of the community.
 The U. s. Census Bureau is gathering statistics on this unsatisfactory phase of coun- try life; but, so far, apparent ly, has not made exhaustive inquiry as to the reason why these farmers move. In our own community such an in- quiry might throw light upon conditions that could be changed for the better. This section of the country is now noted for it's open-handed hospitality, but are we really as hospitable and as neigh borly as we believe ourselves to be? Let Us be honest with ourselves. Do we vel come the incoming tenant and try to make him and his family feel that we would like to help them and make them permanent members of the community? If not, let us begin with the next new ten- ants, starting out with the idea that we will accept them at their own valuation and treat them as we would like to be treated under like cir cumStances.
 Are our ways, our habits, our local laws and regulations the sort that would naturally attract and what is more inn portant, hold good settlers fill them with the desire to buy a farm in this neighbor- hood? Let us stand aside and look at ourselves. Let us try to get the viewpoint of the stranger, and, if we are wrong, let us about-face. If we are hide-bound, stand-off- ish, let us put the Golden Rule in operation. If our ways and habits are not what they ought to be, let us modi- fly them. If our local laws and regulations are either too lax or too puritanical, wei we have the remedy at hand.
 Let us find out why farm tenants move from this To- cality and, having learned ( the cause, remove it.

Even the elements and the weather
man, who is supposed to control them
are conspiring to make the good roads
rooms Friday evening, May 20, the so
cial event of the season.
Private advices received from the
weather forecaster indicate that Fri
day evening next the weather condi
tons will be ideal. for dancing. This
forecast is based on the belief that the
threatening storm will so cool the at.
mosphere by that time that people
will be glad to dance in order to get
the blood in circulation.
The enthusiastic sale of tickets so
far is the strongest indication that
this public service function will be
more financially successful than the
most optimistic and willing workers
hoped for when the ball was first sug-
gested.
The Commercial clubs of Rock Is
land, Moline and East Moline have not
only formally endorsed the good roads

association by becoming publicly rec

The members of this cooperating
committee will be made public within
a few days.
1t is hoped and believed that the
scope and influence of this committee
will be further enlarged by the addi-
ton Of three members from each of
the women's clubs now having repre-

When this joint committee becomes
more fully organized it is planned to
meet at least once a month to discuss
and consider good roads and other mat
ters pertaining to the industrial and
social betterment of Rock Island coun-
~ as whole.
