INTERSTATE COMPANY is
READY FOR BUSINESS HERE

The Interstate Material company,
with headquarters in Davenport, is es-
tablishing a Rock Island branch OF
its business, which has grown to be
one of the largest of its kind in the
Mississippi valley. The company has
leased the i. p. Best lot at Seven
teenth street and First avenue and
will maintain a coal yard there, with
an Office in the Best building. Prop
erty has been purchased in the west
end of the city as a site for a gravel
and sand plant. The concern is in
vesting $4,000 in the latter. J. A.
Moran. former resident of Rock Is
land. is manager of the Interstate Ma
terial company. He resigned a posi-
ton as auditor in the Modern Wood
men head Offices several years ago to
join with others in launching the

since been its active head

TEACH WAR EVENTS TO
PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS

The public school system of Sanga-
mon county will be affected in its ed
ucatiCIal curriculum by the European
war. Educators prominent over the
country in attendance at the annual
county teachers institute agreed that
the teaching of geography and history
would be changed by the war.
Superintendent Francis G.. Blair, in
speaking of the effect on school in
struction. said:
The European war will affect the
schools both geographically and his
torically. Glasses will have to be kept
informed on the greatest topic of the
hour-the WARRIOR this will affect the
whole world commercially.
The study will be brought up as a
part of the current events in history
and it will be necessary for the teacher
TO keep we'll informed on all the news.
The geography cannot be seriously af-
fected until the boundary lines are
changed so this study will not be
changed for at least while

ton to evolve the best possible plan.
The cost of building the 131 miles of
roads designated to receive first at
tention will amount on an average to
about the cost of one good cigar for
each acre of land annually for the
next 30 years
Tice Law Not Perfect.
Mr. Marshall referred to the awak-
ening on the road question which
seems general throughout the United
States. The Tice law is a result of this
awakening, and while it provides a
plan by which it is possible to make
improvements, including expert super
vision, it is weak on the state aid feat
ure. If the people of this county wait
for the state to furnish half the money
to improve their highways they will
have to be content with the improve
ment of about one mile per year, which
will mean several hundred years to
cover the county. The state has not
promised any given sum to the coun-
ties and even the state automobile
license fund is not distributed on an
equitable basis, being apportioned to
the counties according to the sums
raised by taxation for road purposes.
Thus this county, paying a good deal
more automobile license money into
the treasury than Mercer county, for
instance, receives only about half
what Mercer county does for the road
fund. Under such circumstances it is
apparent that if the people of this
county want hard roads they must
raise the money to build them, and
there is a great advantage in doing SO
now.
a million dollars is only about one
per cent of the actual value of prop
erty in the county, and is therefore not
large sum to pay for a system of
hard roads which will benefit all the
people. Besides, it will certainly re-
the way of convenience in transporta-
ton for business and pleasure. but it
will increase the value of property in
the country many times the cost of
the investment to the owners of prop
erty in the country districts. This has
been shown beyond a shadow of a
doubt in other states and is shown In
the cities where streets have been
paved.
Bond Plan Not New
Mr.. Mitchell discussed the details of
the bond issue, explaining that it was
the only plan officers of the associa-
ton had been able to figure out. but
asserting that if anyone else had a
better way it would be cheerfully

are resorted to for practically all

as for the financing of private enterFl
prices. Transportation is the big prob
lem of this country, and has been rec
ognized as such since the days of the
pioneers, when the farmer had to haul
his wheat by wagon to Chicago. In
those days the people did not hest
tate to give the right of way and even
subscribe money for the building of
railroads to be owned by others In
addition, bonds were necessary, the
city of Rock Island bonding itself to

Nowadays in spite of the complaint
of eXorbitant freight charges, the fact
remains that it costs no more to ship a
