WEEDS DISAPPEAR
IN THE EAST END

Commissioner Eastman said this
morning that the east end of the city,
from Thirty-fourth to FIfty-fifth streets,
is now absolutely free from weeds.
with the exception of a strip along the
railroad tracks. The work of cutting
the weeds in the vacant lots in the
bluff district is now going on and in
another week the weed fighters believe
that they will be in a position to defy
anyone to discover an unsightly or a
useless plant.
The greater part of the last week has
been devoted by the weed sleuth to
seeing that the weeds in the east end
were devasted. Where last year I'M
slightly, dust-laden shrubbery contribu-
ted a constant fire and health menace,
as. well as an eyesore in an otherwise
beautiful section of the city, there is
now neatly trimmed sod. The railroad
companies have been notified to cut
the weeds along the tracks and it is
probable this will be done sometime
within the next week

COMMITTEE WILL
HAVE A MEETING
Browning Field to Be Improved
for Football Season Is De-
sire of Members.

A meeting of the members of the
committee in charge of the work TO
soon be undertaken in transforming
Browning field into municipal athletic
grounds, is TO be held Thursday morn
ing and plans will be discussed re-
garding getting the field into condi-
ton for football next fall. The COM
mittee is composed of NJ. r. Carlson,
r. VI. Johnson, Nelson Green, J. Z.
Bodine, Emil Johnson. with r. S. Hos
ford as chairman. A report on the
result of the Thursday morning meet
ing will be made TO the Greater Mo-
line committee at the regular weekly
meeting Friday.
1t is thought that the ravine can not
be filled and leveled this year. but it
is desired that a good start be made
and that the field be in good condition
for football when the season arrives.
The committee seems to favor the
plan of forming a stock company and
raising the money for the improve
ment of the field, rather than soliciting
the funds from local business men.
This matter will come up for de-
cision at the coming session.

DOUBLE QUINTET
PROVES A FROST
East Moline Hill Residents
Think Menagerie Has
Broken Loose.

Ten Greek residents of East Moline
organized themselves into a glee club
Monday evening, and selecting a well
populated district on the hill began to
sing songs of the day. The songs were
all right. and SO was the music, the
company in no way being to blame, but
in the words of recent comedian the
would-be musicians got the music
started sweetly, but it came out bad.
And residents of the hill district OF
East Moline were of the opinion that
Barnum & Bailey had arrived ahead
Of time and the menagerie had broken
loose. When, however, the real cause
of the trouble was discovered, the
Creeks were arrested, and when ar
raigned in police court this morning
were fined $3.50 each. Five of the
number. having no visible means OF
support, were allowed to go free with
the fines suspended over their heads,
but those who had the money were
forced to pay up. 1t will be some time
before the Grecian double quintet will
perform again in East Moline.

FAIR STORE ON
BLUFF CHANGES
Willis Reed Retires From Ac-
tive Business Life and Moves
to New California Home.

After 20 years in active business life
in Moline, as proprietor of the Fair
store in the bluff district, Willis A
Reed has disposed of his business to
Albert c. Crosswell of Rock Island
and will retire from active business
life. The store is located at 1901 Fiji
teenth street and is one of the finest
business houses in the bluff district
of the city.
Mr. Reed, together with his wife
and daughter, Miss Marguerite Reed,
left Monday evening for Pasadena,
Cal, where he has purchased a new
home and will live in future. His
son, Frank Reed, is now residing at
Pasadena.
Mr.. Reed was one of the first bust
ness men on the bluff, having moved
to this city 25 years ago, opening a
store for the sale of general merchan-
disc, and since that time he has built
up a prosperous trade. His residence
propert in the city will be rented.
Mr.. Croswell, the new owner of
the Fair. was formerly proprietor of a
drug store on the bluff and therefore
is known to Moline residents of that
vicinity. He has also been in the
drug business in Rock Island since
selling out his local business, and is
an experienced business man.
Miss Marguerite Reed, daughter of
the former proprietor of the Fair, has
been teaching algebra in the Moline
high school and resigned that position
in order to accompany her parents to
their new California home. The
teachers committee has not yet chosen
a successor to Miss Reed. but action
in this matter will be taken in the
near future.

Over Success Which Has
Crowned His Efforts.

With 1929 secured in pledges in a
four-day canvass at New Windsor for
the lutheran hospital that is to rise

Sunday morning to speak in the Luth-
eran church there, inaugurating fund
